Swimming for Mothers
BY w. A. McKeever-

It IL a great gain for any parent
to learn from personal experience
Just why Jack does not always come
out of the exhilarative splash OF the
pool on the tick Of the clock, as he
promised to do.
Then. as a substitute for the use
less formality and the trivial pro-
cedures of certain types of so-csiled
social and literary clubs of women,
the swimming party appears AZ n
refreshing tide. II Ia well-es-
tablished fact that many OF the
worst plumbers committed by moth
ers in relation to the duties OF chHld
training are traceable to overwork,
worry and tho consequent neuras-
thenia.
Swimming il a relief from all this
and a tonic for the body and the
mind. Increased patience, kindness
and considerable judgment are also
An assurance here.
Not infrequently, when a mother
comes In person or writes to me
her tale Of woe about the trouble
someness of her children, wish to
prescribe something in the nature
OF physical and mental treatment
for the mother herself. A complete
restoration OF health and mental
vigor would help immensely In 90
per cent Of the instances.
so, let us send the admonition on
the throns OF weary mothers. Join
a class Of mother swimmers. Go
plunge into the sparkling pool and
feel and become a real younester for
sn hour each day. Then return TO
the household and notice how much
your children have improved dur
ing your absence-or how much
they seem to have improved. ....

The Note.
My Dear Mrs. Ogden Fem:
am the woman who helped to
furnish you with the grounds upon
which you Indignantly and rights-
ousiy divorced your husband. I am
writing to you for several reasons:
a. To ask IL you know the difference
between a salmon and a carp? Be-
tween an eagle and puddle-duek?-
and to tell you that II you don't
know the difference do. az To say
that you needn't have taken the
trouble to find out for yourself Al I
could have told you II you had asked
me, that the puddle-duck has knock
knees and adenoids. When he IL
sleeping, and you are trying to, the
latter are distinctly audible. ~ To
inform you that hell IL full Of
women like you. and that ! hope
from the bottom of my heart that
you suffer all the unhappiness you
deserve in this world and the next.

The East, however, reversed the ar
rangement and Natalia is popular
there, while her husband is forgotten.
Natalia was one of the favored
Greek Christian names. Russia adopt
ed her and, adding the usual con-
sonants of its language, calls her
Natalija, Nataschenka, and Natascna.
The first OF the three names is eX-
tremely popular there today, or until
the Bolsheviki came into power and
withdrew the attention of etymologists
from the study Of feminine names.
France IS said to have secured
Natalie from Russia, though there is
record Of a Natalie at Cambrai in
1912. England preferred Natalie to
any of the other forms, rejecting
Natalia as too Latin in its influence
Whether American Natalies are rep
resentative of the English, or takeil
direct from France, is matter of
personal preference.
The pearl Of purity is Natalie
talismanic gem. 1t promises good
fortune for its Wearer and makes her
gentle, kind, and lovable. Thursday
Is her lucky day and her lucky
number.

PatOu, the man tailor who is en-
joying a great following in Paris, is
selling very successfully at the pres
ent time his model called "Tinper-
ary," English as to its name, although
made of a French fabric interviewer
with all the soul-stirring bars Of the
Scottish clans. The model hangs
straight front and back, with what
little fulness there is massed on the
hips just at the point where the
sleeves join the body of the coat. The
collar Is straight and mutfllng. The
sleeves are bell shaped.
Agnes has successful model
called Paillasse, also developed in a
plaid wool tissue. 1t is in Russian
blouse style and also has the high col
lar and large bell sleeves. A fancy
Rodier material woven and en-
broidered in green and yellow plaid
was chosen for It,
The same maker has brought out a

elaborate embroideries, facings of
fringe, which latter falls from the
sleeve motifs and edges the ends OF
the girdle.
Another popular model of this lat
ter type from Agnes Is developed
from black crepe Marocain with col
lar and cuffs of white taffeta. The
embroidered motifs are In black, and
suspended from these, at well spaced
intervals, are bands of black silk
fringe
PIaids and Profuse Patterns.
Black and black and white com.
binaticns are still very popular, al
though no longer exclusive. Heavy
crepe Marocain continues to be much
in evidence for the wrap and the
craze for the cape coat or mantle,
usually in black, made on the SIM
plest possible lines, often with en-
broidery In self-tone, still continues.
There is also continued use of black
monkey fur as a trimming. These silk
and lightweight cloth coats, although
simple enough for the daytime, are
sufficiently dressy for informal eve
ming wear.
Any number Of capes of ROdier
plads made on the order of the Eng
lish travelling cloak have been I'M
ported to this country. An unusually
smart one by Premet Is Of gray, brick
and bright red plaid wool. Brick
color and bright red are an unusual
combination. One might judge from
reading about it that the cloth has
an extremely bizarre appearance. But
not so. The brick and gray are mere
ly frightened here and there with
touches of bright red blended in a
well-thought-out way to make a fabric
very much out of the ordinary.
The cape is straight with slit arm
holes and a long, straight collar
which crosses to one side and fas-
tens with a large composition button
showing the same artistic blending of
gray, red and brick color.
There Is q fad Of the moment for a
tiny automobile parasOl to accom-
pany the motor coat. The silk top
of these sunshades is not over twelve
inches deep. The handles show life
like heads of the Normandy peasants
hand carved in wood and painted in
colors. White-faced Pierrot with his
big back ruff. too, is here.

and again, Smith, know my mother"
To be sure this answered the pur-
pose and as every one was very happy
on the occasion it probably didn't
make much difference how the intro
duction was made. But the form was
far from courteous
In the first place man should al
ways present or introduce his men
friends to his mother, or any other
woman, and he should use a form of
introduction that shows that he is
making the introduction in this way.
Moreover the abrupt manner of say
ing simply, Meet Mr.. Brown" or
"Know my friend JONES'" which has
recently become so popular is really
too abrupt to be in good form for any
purpose save possibly for men to in
troduce men to each other in a pure
ly business connection. 1t should
never be used in introducing women.
The right way for the young soldier
to have gone about it would have
been to say. Mother, l want to pre-
sent Sergeant Jones" Jones" this Is
my mother" or let me introduce
Sergeant Jones to you. mother; Ser
geant Jones I wish to present you to
my mother" In a case like this it
is not necessary to give the mothers
name. The only occasion where it
would he. would be in the case the
mother. through remarriage, bore a
name different from the one Of the
son who introduced her.

If your finger tips are rounded you
should file your nails so that they are
just trifie more curved than your
finger tips This will tend to make
them look graceful. The claw-like
nail. although fashionable with many
women who prefer following general
fashion tendencies without regard to
the individual shape of their fingers, is
far from beautiful. Very often when
this style is affected the nail is filed SO
closely down the sides of the finger
tip that the underneath cuticle is quite
apparent. This type of nail cutting
should be reserved exclusively for the
woman who has a riangularly-pointed
finger.

BLACK AND RED COMBINATION
Briqht and Dark Shades Are Among

All Of the Paris dressmakers are
now very busy on automobile and sport
coats, writes a fashion correspondent.
The Parisienne Is going in for sports
as never before. Golf clubs near Paris
are the center of great social activity.
La Boulie, which is near Versailles,
and st. Cloud, SO near Paris, are daily
rendezvous for the smart set. Chan
tilly and Fontainebleau, both Of which
have interesting golf courses are ia
vorite resorts for week-ends, and thus
the sport coat has come to be an es-
sental part of the FrenchWoman
wardrobe. Consequently designers
have given it much attention. Dress
makers who had the forethOught to
anticipate this demand are now reap
ing a harvest.

and refinement. They are most char

Vivid Coiorings in Sport Coats.
The features of these new coats
which impress one most forcibly are the
colors and bold designs of the fab
RIGS. The materials themselves make
such a strong appeal and are so sug
gest1ve of out-of-doors that few Wo-
men can resist them. The colOrs are
very gay. There is a strong tendency
toward black and red combinations
the dull, rusty reds enlivened here
and there with brighter shade of
the same color, sometimes running in
to scarlet.
