There is no doubt that the recent
revelations in regard to culture"
pearls have something to do with
the slump.
A NICE question in propriety L.

fair devotees of the dance in the
Gay City. 81 .'-'-
1t is simply a question Of gloves.
Should they or should they not be
worn on the dancing floor?
To hear the question being warm
ly debated by women whose low
cut frocks would have brought
bushes to the cheek OF the most
daring in pre-war days is some
what entertaining. Gloves. indeed.
EEW Englishmen are more popu-
lar in Paris than Rudyard
Kipiing. Here. Is a story which
illustrates the fact. ea..
During his recent visit to the
French capital, Mr.. Kpling, as Is
bis wont. pad most Of his bills by
check. But what puzzled the
author Of kim" was that few Of
his checks were ever cashed, and
at the end of his stay his credit In
the Paris bank showed little dimi-
mutton.
The mystery. however. was ex-
planned when, in visiting the homes
of certain Of his Partisan friends.
he found hanging in their studies.
artistically mounted and framed
checks that he had made out dur
ing his visit.
The payees, 1t seems. had found
II more lucrative to sell the checks
to autograph collectors than to
cash them at the bank.

many lovers. To each of them In
turn are presented a baby only q

that each was the father. demanding

Then came the exposure. The
charming mademoiselle had bought
the baby from q poor mother, and
had used It for the purpose Of ex-
torting money from her lovers.

robe Of the smart and thoughtful
woman. as It Is easily adaptable
to the many changes Of the mode
IN the new evening gowns dis
played in the Washington shops
one gets the impression Of quaint
ness and primness that forecasts
a back-to.grandmothe movement
among the younger set. Extremely
short skirts, bare backs, striking de-
signs and sensational lines have
been discarded and in their place
have come quaint, old-fashioned
gowns for formal wear that are dis
tinctly picturesque.
Heavy lustrous taffetas In the
softest hues are being launched by
manufacturers, and from authentic
sources the forecast is that the
puffy gown Of our grandmother's
day will reign. They are full when
seen from the front but the profile
is slender because the bouffancy is
confined to the sides.
M. Brooks & Co. are showing
some very attractive formal gowns
along these lines. On one pic
turesque model the full taffeta
skirt, that changes from one soft
tint to another in the night lights.
Is trimmed with little garlands Of
flowers. The .old-fashioned straight
basque has little sleeves That fall
over the arms giving that straight
decollete Of civil war days.
AND when Dame Fashion rein
PRODUCES to the mode the styles
worn by Washington bellies Of long
ago there likewise appear in the
shops hair ornaments very similar
to those old keepsakes kept by grand
father in his box ofs memoirs. In
deed, what could be more fitting to
help one through the 1922 season
than an 1850 headdress to match an
1850 decolletage? 1t Is a noticeable
feature that the new coiffures catch
the spirit of the frocks that 60 below
them. Little flower ornaments of
delicately tinted silks and pert combs
decorated with ribbons and roses In
soft pastel shades flaunt themselves
in the showcases of some Of Wash
ington's exclusive establishments.
The combs are built up with masses
Of flowers SO as to appear like .
coronet Of flowers. These dainty
decorations go SO well with the gown
Of old.fashioned tendencies.
The quaint. frilly gowns are un.
doubtedly flatteringly trimmed with
all sorts Of dainty ribbons. flowers
and frills-anything that gives that
old-time charm. The miss who
wears such a gown, however, must
herself look quaint. not old.fash-
Toned. but charming like old pio-
lures. For instance. they would not
become the sporting girl for whom
there are graceful straight.liied
frocks that are her own expression.
These are made from brocaded chif.
fons, metallic cloth or sequin robes.
In these instances there is very
little trimming, girdle Of flowers,
perhaps or . glittering sash and the
loneliness Of the material of the
gown Is the chief asset.

son are on q par with the gowns.

aside reveal equally beautiful gowns.
Fashion seems to favor combination
schemes In wraps in spite of the
rival craze for brilliant jewel shad-
ings of ruby, rose and blues. The
majority of wraps seems In the
shops are Of gorgeous brocade or
metallic cloth combined with velvet
and topped with huge fur collars.
The puffed collar is evident too on
many Of the new wraps which seem
to predict that this type will be
popular On spring formal wraps,

The smartest hats are of silver and
gold shimmerlng metal cloth, and
the favored shape is the style very
similar to the head-dress of the late
Russian princesses. Cellophane, a
shiny trimming, appears on the
latest. On one interesting hat Of
silver cloth seen recently at Erie
bacher's, an outstanding coronet ex-
tending over the crown was elab-
orately trimmed with cellophane
ornaments and an enor'"s "

The designer with innate sense OF

something really notable, as 1t Is the

A young man who practiced medicine
in Pennsylvania became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DIR. Pierce, who finally made up
his mind to place some OF his medi-
cnes before the public, and moving to
Buffalo, N. Y, put up what he called
his "Favorite Prescription, and placed
it with the druggists in every state.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
long been recognized as q tonic for
diseases peculiar TO womankind. After
suffering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy,
weak and dragged down by weak
nesses OF her sex--a woman is quickly
restored to health by its use. Thou
sands Of women testify that DR.. Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription has entirely
eradicated their distressing ailments.
More recently that wonderful dis
covery Of DR., Pierce's, called An.uric
flor kidneys and backache) has been
successfully used by many thousands
who write DR.. Pierce OF the benefits
received - that their backache, rheu-
matism, and other symptoms Of uric
acid deposits in joints or muscles have
been completely conquered by IFS use.
