RELIEF FOR HEAT SUFFERERS
English Savant Who Probably Knows
Offers Some Advice on the Prob
lem of Keeping Cool.

The obvious expedent Of avoiding
exposure TO the sun, stimulating"
foods and drinks, and the use or dark
and heat-retaining garments is not
always sufficient to keep the human
body cool. In spite Of these DrGcau.
tionS, many persons suffer from heat
lnnguor ("thermul dcbility"), to the
detrment of their health and ef!i-
cheney.
1t is nearly one hundred years since
the SilcsTan peasant priessnitz rein
troduced the curative use of cold. One
of his procedures was to immcrSe the
back Of his head in Il shallow vessel
Of cold water.
We know now that external cold is
a powerful stimulant to the nerve cen
ters at the base of to, brain, which
govern the heart and breathing and
regulation Of body hent. In hot sum
mers heat is insidiously piled up in
the tissues, and sometimes thermal
debility passes on to thermal fever or

The Spring Season
Heralds Silks
WITH the beginning of the spring
season silk is always in che
foreground of millinery. Crepe de
chine now is considered very chic
for hats, both large and small, and
the leading Paris milliners are show
ing many interesting models in this
silk. The use of crepe de chine for
millinery purposes was advocated by
Caroline Reboux, and is being con-
tinued in her line. Other milliners
are showing various interpretations
of draped crepe de chine hats fir
ished with some sort Of scarf end.
This silk is not confined to small
hats, as one might expect, but is
seen even in large shapes.
Taffeta enjoys its usual spring
time prestige. 1t IS used in the shot
effects, as we'll as in solid colors.
A great deal of energy is being
expended by the designers ON models

bags naturally are reserved for eve

popular with debutantes. These
models, as a rule, are fitted as van
ity cases. Judith Barber, the we'll
known Paris fowermaker, shows
beautiful assortment Of these bags.
Two new models are sketched at the

Paris Notes

and more a potent influence
IL in fashions. 1t would no
doubt surprise the we'll
dressed woman of somewhat conser-
vative tastes to know just how many
of the most charming ideas embodied
in her clothes emanated from the
stage.
In Paris new plays always mean
lovely new clothes and renewed in
terest in fashions. Those who fol-
low fashions closely and who con-
stantly are seeking ideas look to the
theater as source of inspiration.
The farewell gala given to
Georges Noblet at the Theatre Sarah
Bernhardt and the premiere of
Henri Bataille's new play, "L'Homme
a la Rose" brought about beauti-
full display of clothes, both on the
stage and in the audience.
Noblet, who, after fifty years OF
artistic playing, leaves the stage
at the age IF seventy, is famous
comedian, who created a character
type which now bears his name.
And his good friends, Sarah Bern
hardt, Simone, Barrientos, Yvonne
Printemps, La Bargy, Lucien and
Sacha Guitry, with countless others,
took part in the farewell gala.
What Paris Saw
AT Recent Plays
THE Bataille play, with the famous
Don Juan as its hero, is cos
tuned by Paul Poiret, who finds
ample inspiration in the Spanish
theme and Setting for his peculiar
gifts of color and his appreciation
of a decorative silhouette.
Signs Of spring were visible in the
Lanvin dress worn by Barrientos at
Saturdays matinee. In the audience
was Charlotte model of gray
crepe de chine, which appeared to be
in sympathy with the new idea which
is being worked out behind the closed
doors of the big ateliers on the Place
Vendome and the Champs Elysees.
1t was straight model, showing a
very slender silhouette with a tightly
draped apron front falling from the
neckline to below the knees and end
ing in points at either side.
The gowns seen at recent per-
Torrance at the Theatre de Paris
were especially brilliant and beauti-
full. Ravishingly lovely brocade
dresses from Cabot, rich in orna-
ments and detail; billowy silver lace
and taffeta picture dresses from Ian
