Women
Reiuvnated

Professor HolZknechts employ
ment of the Roentgen ray for "re-
juvenation of women" Is SO success
full that one patient, who was
singer OF only melancholy songs,
became soubrette. he said in an IN
terview today.
Holzknecht is young man OF
Vienna, who was associated with
Professor Steinach. famous "reju-
venator," but although the latter's
process has proven effective for
both sexes. Holzknechts methods
have been applied more especially
to women.
The new use Of the Roentgen ray
causes Improvement in both the
mental and physical functions of
women. Holzknecht said.
PERSONALLY, l do not believe re-
tuvenation' is quite the correct
word" he said, "but / can say that
my patients show manifold i'm
provement in their bodily condition.
Five hundred women were ex-
amined in a Vienna clinic, and the
growth in energy among women be-
tween forty and fifty years of age
in their social activities was no
ticeable. The women became
fresher and lovelier. Their skin
was firmer and their mood better.
and actually they gave the impress
sion OF having been rejuvenated."
Holzknecht said that only one
treatment was possible. but that it's
effect was "quite prolonged"

have found that q
w tricotine frock will give ex-
w ceptionally good service.
Unlike a silk gown. 1t may be
fashioned from the simplest slip-on
frock to the most elaborate crea-
ton.
Among the simple frocks for
everyday occasions the chemise
model with a low waistline holds
a prominent place. Short set-in
sleeves with a round neck and
brief skirt are the main features
OF these simple affairs. Self-cov-
cred buttons are used as trimming
and form close rows down the front
panel or mark the back. Narrow
kid or patent leather belts buckle
about the waist of some OF the
frocks. Dainty collars Of nne net
or organdy are used to relieve the
severity Of the neck line.
Embroidery is used extensively
on tricotine. and one may expect
to see anything from wool to cut
beads worked in elaborate designs.
Gray angora wool Is q favorite on
navy tricotine. and forms q deep
border on full-skirted model
Brick-red worsted works itself IN
to a charming effect on another
model. while georgette In the same
henna shade sashes the hips at
trsctively.
One of the newest models COM
bines navy tricotine with pale gray
georgette. The georgette forms
pleated panel down the front. and
the tricotine Is cut in a loose coat
effect, framing the panel with long
revers. A loose sash OF black shiny
ribbon Is looped about the figure,
combining the fullness ever so lit
tie. Worn with gray pumps and
black satin hat, this stunning dress
affords a distinctive costume.
Jade green georgette allies 1t
self beautifully with navy tricotine
in another good-looking frock for
daytime. 1t shows a full circular
skirt broken at intervals by bands
OF the jade. The tight bodice is
piped In Jade georgette, and there's
a slim girdle OF the green that
loops OF the left hip.
A smart model beaded In dark
brown beads favors the moyenage
affect, as many of the best frocks
do this season, and the narrow
skirt In hung by a full tunic heav-
lily beaded. No girdle 10 used with

ways during spinning and
weaving that they often look and

therefore, needs to know some of

HOW TO TELL LINEN.
Pure linen Is SO scarce and high

keeper needs to be doubly sure that
she Is getting pure linen when she

mercerized. is often used to adulter-
ate linen. and the high luster makes
II difficult to tell the difference
Cotton and linen mixtures and mer-
cerized cotton alone. especially in
tablecloths and towels. are proving
a satisfactory substitute for pure
linen, but they should be sold for
what they are and priced accord
ingly.

long. fine, stiff. and lustrous.
II cotton cloth is torn; the ends
of the threads appear fuzzy, while
those of linen are straight and
smooth. Cotton feels soft and some

cool.

does not.
Linen dries more rapidly than
cotton. This quality, of course,
makes 1t particularly desirable for
towels and handkerchiefs.

TOClean and
Store Clothes

The best way to prevent moths
is to pack the clothing in trunk
or chest. sprinkling freely with
napthaline fakes. When filled place
a soup plate on top Of clothing and
put three tablespoons of carbon
dlsulphide in the plate. Close the
trunk tightly and do not open until
fall Extreme care should be taken
not to have flame of any kind
around. as carbon disulphide is more
infiammable than gasoline. Naptha-
line fakes or moth balls, using two
pounds to an ordinary trunk of
clothes, are effective moth preven-
tions: but moth balls will not pre-
vent the eggs from Matching. while
the flakes will.
CEDAR ALONE NOT ENOUGH.
Brushing. dusting and airing
thoroughly, then dusting the clothes
with napthaline fakes or pyrethrum
powder. and careful wrapping are
the best insurance against moths.
Placing in a cedar chest Is an addi-
tional safety. but cedar alone will

Cloaks and dresses hold their
shape better IL hung in moth

sleazy material and dresses heavily
trimmed are better laid nat, as

Sweaters generally stretch out OF

IL they are dropped loosely on clean
cloth or paper on the shelf in cedar

perfectly.

had a slight argument over It. and

wouldn't speak. I never realized

do you think he cares for me a

You were very foolish to say any
