$500 FOR THE MOST PERFECT
SPINES IN AMERICA OFFERED

are not limited to this hemisphere,
as An endowed charitable clinic
has recently been opened in Lon
don by its British branch.
An astonishing feature of the sit
uation Is that the majority OF these
cases of curvature are unsuspect-
ed by the children, teachers, par
ents and even by medical eXamin-
ers themselves. The public thinks
OF spinal curvature as an obvious
deformlty which can be seen
across the street. This is the con-
dition which results from neglect
of these cases in the early stages.
ANY deviation from the perfect
perpendicular constitutes spinal
curvature and should be detected in
its incipiency in order that treat
ment may be instituted immediate
". Treatment correctly admins
tered in the very first stages pre-
vents the gross deformity and ac-
composites the result in com
paratively short time.
Prevention Is better than cure.
This fine old adage can never be
better applied than to spinal cur
nature. All children should be
examined once year in order to
detect the slightest indication to-
ward this trouble and to begin
treatment Immediately III case it is
found. Even in those cases where
there IS no evidence whatever of
curvature competent examiner
can often detect weaknesses, faulty
attitudes of the spine and inequali-
ties of development OF spinal mus
cles. These being among the pre-
disposing causes of curves. he can
give instructions which will correct
these things and therefore tend to
prevent the appearance of the con
dition later.

NOTES IN STYLES OF PARIS
Spanish Onion Peel Color is New
Shade-Separate Coat and Skirt
Becoming Popular.

A variation of apricot which may best
be automatically described as Spanish
onion peel color is a popular new
shade.
The separate coat and skirt Is be-
coming popular. OF course, there are
many simple tailOr-madeS in navy,
black or white serge-cOat and skirt
of the same materlal-but the ten
dency is to have the skirt plated for
choice of one material and color, while
the coat is entirely different. This
Is specially the case where Breton
jackets are concerned.
Double wrist frllls are now being
worn with Breton coates, which boast
paeoda sleeves, double frills. finely
plated, one up and the other down,
with a narrow band Of black MORE
ribbon on between. A rather fantastic
model had the skirt made Of black
satin and the coat of leaf green faced
cloth with a turnover collar of black
brerschwartz. This idea of wearing
q bright-cOlored coatee over a black or
white skirt is gaining in favor. Nearly
all the new dresses and blOuses' are
comfortable.
China is playing a prominent part in
the dress Of this season. We have
been coquetting with Japan and Spain I;
but we have finally decided to take
China seriously. We have mandarin
sleeves-mandarin coats of the correct
outline, and we have a quaint loose
blouse very like those worn by Chinese
workmen.
r'aris models are showing the held
u hem. A band Of furnished silver

CT INTEREST TO WOMEN

Flame-colored fabrics and all the
shades Of red are smart for evening.
The French heel has taken on
straighter lines and, like the Cuban
heel, is now covered in leather.
Transparent sleeves Of a figured fab
ric are used in frocks Of dark blue
serge or poiret twill or taffeta.
Most of the large hats roll UP softly
at the back, and there is naturally n
corresponding tendency to droop slight
ly 1t the sides.
Biscuit and gold is Il colo cOmbina-
tion which often is seen in smart cir
cles. If a third color note IS desired,
olive blends we'll.
A new trimming that takes the place
Of fur, is of soft silk spikes of brown,
and is so like soft, weepy, shiny sea-
weed that ii has been given that name.
The high collar at the back of the
dress is Il feature Of the latest models,
and many of the long lines Of the one
piece dresses are accentuated with
half-inch wide pipings of color or
white.
Black stripes in plaid ginghams make
clever designs and are especially at
tractive when combined with yellow
shades. Vivid green and lavender
with black create delightful effects,
and there are many tiny ~pin-checks

For the Dressmaker.

Silk or thread becomes shabby and
faded if kept in the light or in an
openwork basket. TO overcome this
and to have them convenient for use,
take II good-sized square ~pasteboard
box and fit a board inside. Then put
nails in the board at various intervals
in rows far enough apart TO allow
space for the regular size spool silk or
thread to stand easily side by side.
When not in use slip the spool over
the nail, after making sure that the
end of the thread is fastened so it
cannot %unravel. Cover it and keep it
in a convenient place in the sewing
room.

WHITE, FAD.
Color Scheme Is Pronouncetly
Prevalent in Paris.
Fashion Is Carried 70 Extremes and
Some Costumes Are Regarded as
Absurdities.

Since the Grande Semuine-the i'm
portunt race week which closes the
Paris scaSon-~ct the fashion of black
and white, states a French fashion
writer, Ii IS natural to find the maybe
colors almost universal ut Biarritz.
But down here in this exotic corner of
the Passes p~yrcnecs new fashions are
launched-the fashions of tomorrow.
This is specially the case in the
month Of September, as then the
wealthy Spanish beauties make eX-
tensiye purchases FOR the winter sea-
son at Madrid.
People are sill talking and quarrel
ing over Mrs. Smith-W ilkinson's amaz-
ing toilette at the Grand Steeple-
chase in Paris. A very important
group of Paris ~elegantees, women who
direct the styles rather than follow
them, eXpostulatcd loudly against the
Introduction of sensational eccentrici-
ties from London on Il Paris race
course; they suid-and I think they
were rlght-that such eXaggerations
WOulu certainly take away from the
character for fine and cultured taste
which has been built up by the best
dressed artists in the Rue de la Paix
and Place Vendome.
The dress parade IN which one mod
ell took Il prominent part was based
entirely on black and white schemes.
One mnnnequin went SO far as 60 wear
one white and one black shoe-her
dress and ever her parasol being d.
vjded between the wv colors. 1t was
m absurd costume and everyone
laughed ut it.
But the famous zebra dress worn by
the model was really cleverly ar
ranged. Black and white stripes ev-
erywhere, even on her stockings.

Fall Hat Material,

Shaggy fabrics will compose many
Of the fall hats for street wear, ac-
cording TO the reports from Paris. A
beaver strip material, hatters' plush
and cOlOred wool with black Gel
lOphane for the background are
among them. Steel buckles, showing
faceted steel and jet nailleads are
favorite trimmings. One new Orna-
ment is Il long narrow bone shaped
like a quill, with impressions to simu-
late the feather.

QUEER METHOD OF DEFENSE
fiating Their Bodies, Brighten
ing Their Enemies.

The swell fishes of tropic coast
waters have the power of suddenly
initiating the body with water or air
until they assume an approximately
globular form several times the normal
diameter, which must be diScOncert-
ing TO any enemy about TO seize one.
The porclfpine fish, in addition to doing
this, has the body everywhere covered
with long, sharp Spines which project
in every direction like the quilts of
Il hedgehog. The trunk fishes, in
stead Of being protected in this way,
Nave the body encaSed in q bony shell,
like a turtle. III the East Indies there
are r~ectangulG" species, but ours are
t~hree-cOrnered, becChnut shaped. They
go by various nameS-cuckOld, she'll
fish, and SO forth, the cowfsh being
q species with TWO hOrnlike SpineS
projecting from its forehead. They
are excellent eating, cooked in the
shell like = lobster. The back muscles
of the swell fishes are sometimes
eaten, but make Il risky delicacy, as
there are Northumberland instances
of severe poisoning from eating these
fishes. The poison seems TO be local
lied in the viscera and to permeate
the rest Of the fish after death.

SENSIBLE IDEAS IN DRESS
Skirts, Waists and Sleeves Should Al
low Freedom for Wearer; Pock.
cts Are Popular.

Skirts should have sufficient width
at the foot to allow for freedom In
stepping up and forward; sufficient
width around hips to prevent drawing
across the front and back; should
have the length and f~ullness so
planned that the skirt will not drop
too low, nor pull TOO high when one is
seated.
Waists and sleeves should allow for
freedom Of movement In any direction.
Light cOlored collars. cuffs, fronts
and waist Innings should be detachable
and cleansible..
Pockets should be placed in dresses,
suits and coats.
Rapidity and convenience in dressing
should be remembered in planning gar
ments.
