Ends of fabric and ribbon drip and
drop, float and fly over the SURFACE
Of new gowns. Lanvin of Paris has
sent some thin gowns here in capu-
cine shades. which owe their color
scheme to long, narrow scarfs of
flame red crepe looped through the
belt of a yellow frock. They fall be-
low the skirt. When the two
shades Of nasturtium are used, the red
and yellow, one thanks the designer
for thinking Of this trick.
Paul Caret, who in real life is Lady
Edgerton of the Russian nobility,
married into the British nobility, and
who is now added to the titled Ro-
manoff society running dressmaking g
establishments in Paris, creates a
gown which accentuates this cascade
fashion.
It was Lady Edgerton who made
the trousseau for Princess Zenia, who
married William B. Leeds. jr., you
may remember. and this new gown is
somewhat after those preferred by
the Queen Of Greece at that time. 1t

there will be a recrudescence of col
lars and cream lace. Georgette crepe
doubled, and white velvet will be
turned into narrow and simple COL
lars that soften the skin and add
graciousness to the face. How mid
dle-aged women have endured the
conditions which kept these virtues
out of existence is a mystery. They
surely served themselves up as liv-
ing sacrifices on the altar of fashion.
Whatever the strength or weakness

ciently cold to need furs. but that's
the way we do.

Mainly About Molars.

1t was only after the new baby
began to cut it's teeth when it was
seven months old that its mother
realized how very little she knew
about teeth.
1t was the motherly woman in the
big gray house across the street who
gave her little friendly lecture one
afternoon about teeth in general and
her own baby's teeth in particular.
And the young mother was very glad
in the days that followed to profit by
the experience of this older, wiser
mother.
"Gladys, my dear. don't be deceived
by what people will tell you about
these first teeth of baby's not being
important. They must be well cared
for, otherwise bacteria will reach
their roots and bring about conditions
that Will prove injurious to the per-
manent teeth when they appear"
"And when do the permanent teeth
appear? asked Gladys. who was still
a child to the woman across the
street.
Generally between the sixth and
seventh years." said Mrs. Grant, who
was the woman in the big gray
house.
"The baby's first teeth, the ones he
is triumphantly displaying now, are
the two lower central incisors. Be-
tween the eighth and twelfth months
he will probably cut his two upper
central incisors, and also the two up
per lateral incisors. After the twelfth
month come the lower lateral incisors
then the fou- anterior molars, some
time before liXteenth month"
"The poor carling! Such dreadful
names for teethw said his mother
please tell me what incisors and
molars are.''
"My son isn't dentist for moth
ing" smiled the older mother. "What
I didn't know about teeth in his baby
hood I have learned from him since he
grew up.
"The incisors are the central teeth,
there being four in each jaw. The
canine teeth are the pointed teeth,
and there are two in each jaw. .one

But when a material is chosen that
differs from the bodice it is rarely in
a different color. The fashion for
scarlet sleeves in black or dark
blue frock. for instance, has gone into
the discard.
If a sleeve in a formal gown is
short, 1t has the appearance Of length
given it by scarfs Of lace or velvet.

limb. Even at this stage the phyd-
clan may note an impaired or lost
reflex nerve action in the limb which
is about to become paralyzed. The
paralysis uanifests itself in from one
to seven days after the beginning of
the fitness.
About one-half Of all cases Of acute
anterior poliomyelitis are abortive or
incomplete forms of the disease-that
is. no definite paralysis remains, or
only a transient weakness, or a
ness of some group of muscles. We
know this only from serodiagnostic
tests. From such abortive or transient
cases to the cruelest extensive pa
ralysis there are all transitions. The
severity probably depends on the size
and virulence of the dose Of infec-
tion sustained and the patients nat
ural or inherited resistance. An at
tack of infantile paralysis confers
lasting immunity against a second
attack, and that immunity is prob
ably passed down to children. The
TRANSMISSION of blood or the injection
of blood serum from a patient re-
Gently recovered from poll nomyelitis
is one recognized aid in treating an
attack.
I have tried to give q description Of
the average case. There are many
variations of the picture, depending
on the portion of the nervous system
which happens to be most injured by
the virus.
Is a mouth wash or any antiseptio
solution of any value in preventing
this disease? I do not think SO. But
some physicians suggest the frequent
rinsing Of the mouth and throat with
a weak hydrogen peroxide solution

in a sailors knot, the ends convolut-
ing down the front
The outstanding feature of clothes,
present and future, is the heroic en-
deavor to keep any line from the
straight path. Much ingenuity is
shown in the result. The hem is zig
gag, the edge Of the sleeve is never
what 1t was in other days, the bodice
falls off one shoulder and mounts high
on the other, there is a panel on one
hip and bunch of shirring on an
other hip. These are the tricks that
make the amateur home dressmaker
wonder how she will achieve such
effects.
The neat, tidy frock, evenly cut, as
though one had pulled threads to do
it, is entirely out of the picture. True,
We are apt to look thoroughly dis
ordered if we do not possess the pecu-
liar style that carries off crookedness.
And clothes are crooked. That's the
only word.
This fashion is abrogated when
plaid is put in usage. No one could
appear sane in one of the new Rodier
plaids that are not overly bright in
color, but absurdly huge in dimen-
sion. The background is white, the
strips are a faint rose or blue or
green. One must keep to simple
treatment there. or the costume be-
comes a joke. Usually the castume
embraces one-piece frock and cir
cular cape, hip length. The envelop-
ing scarf that was almost as big as a
cape did not attach itself to a gown
as a part of the whole when it ar
rived in this country. 1t went into
business as a separate thing, some
thing merely for protection, taking
the place of a short cape.

stripes. The pin check is not re-
vived. What is considered desirable
is something that will strike the be-
holder from afar.
In new clothes that are intended
for the south the builder has placed
wide bands Of colored crepe de chine
between pleated panels of white crepe.
The effect is that of specially woven
material. This is used for the skirt.
and it is moderately short skirt at
that, and the short jacket Of white,
edged with the color, covers a blouse
of white attached to the skirt at a
low waistline.
Maybe there's a hip length ripping
cape instead Of a jacket. 1t is pre-
ferred.
There are also gray transparent
crepe frocks-and gray is a good color
with inserted stripes Of white cot
ton lace, the kind that resembles
Irish, but isn't.

with this choice, as the black cloth
or satin wrap can serve for the after
noon Fur finishes the edges in the
Victorian manner.
There is an additional novelty in
the use of colored duvetyne for lin
ing. Red is for evening, gray and
beige for the day.
No observer can doubt the sincerity
Of the dressmakers in advocating a
different shape to the opening at the
neck. The public does not seem to be
weary of the oblong opening, but the
dressmakers are. 1t is too easy to
copy. say they. The public should
say that it is too difficult to wear.
Despite it's several drawbacks and its
tendency to make the neck and shoul-
ders look bigger than they are, its
simplicity determines it's mass popu-
larity.
The new effort Is toward diagonal
line. This cuts across the chest from
shoulder to waist or hip. Sometimes
the other side of the opening is on
straight line. This gives a curious
but not an unpleasing effect. We
casually call it surplice. but it Is more
sharply bias than that. The French
frocks finish it with a high masculine
rever. long on the crossing side, short
on the under side. This is Of the
fabric, of satin; sometimes 1t is Of
double thickness of georgette crepe.
The latter collar is also adopted for
the round, the square, the oblong
neckline.
FASHIONABLE women have ap-
peared at smart places in the
evening with point or duchesse lace
berthas finishing the edge of the
neckline. These are held in place by
silver shoulder straps il the deco1-
letage is empire, which it Is as often
as not. The fashion for high-necked
evening gowns gives chance for the
two-inch lace Of other days to sur
round the opening. Afternoon frocks
of velvet have the square decolletage
finished with precious lace. The OPEN
ing is quite deep in front, contrary to
the fashion for evening bodices.
Women who possess this kind Of
heirloom should rush to the cleaners
with it, for there is every chance to
put 1t In service. It Is not restricted
