tile paralysis. True, the CASES in
which flies have been proved 10 be
carriers o. the disease are few. sail,
no risks should be run.
Generally infantile paralysis
passes directly from the sick 10 the
well person, yet it may be trans
mitted BY a third. who mas been in
contact with 4 victim.
The early symptoms. as a rule, are
fever. weakness, fretfulaess or ir-
liability and somiting. Later there
IS Pain in the back, neck. arms or
legs, accompanied by great weak
ness. Often paralysis does not re-
suit; these are known as s5ortive
cases. They. however, are as infec-
tious as the otuers. II paralysis is
to occur IL usuA y appears from the
second D the NTH day.

patients. |. may aIso be present in
the noses and throats OF healthy
children in the same family. Thus
II is necessary to keep the children
from a family N which there Is a
case OF infantile paralysis away from
other children.
All cases NJ ;rfantile paralysis
must be reported 70 the local depart
ment Of heath. which then placards
the house.
During an infantile paralysis cpl
demic it is well to observe certain
rules.
The house or apartment shoiid be
kept absolutely clean.
Windows should be screened
against flies.
Garbage should not be allowed to
accumulate: its receptacle should
be kept tightly covered.
All forms of vermin. bed bugs,
reaches and body lice, should be
killed.
Bodily cleanliness is especially i'm
portant.
The best preventive Of infantile
paralysis is not patent medicine but
absolute cleanliness and a strict OBJ

Whether you're a demure little
zone man" who calls every Sunday
afternoon
Or a wife eager that the charm
which originally drew your husband
to you shall not fade
You can learn some things Of in
terest from Mademoiselle Lisette
Query. She's the queen of Paris
mannequins. or style models. She
was selected by Paul Poiret, famous
artist designer, to exploit his latest
fashion sensations.
She wears Poiret's creations in
surroundings of wealth and SPLEEN
dor that would make the court OF
Louis XIV tawdry by comparison.
The rooms are hung with silken
fabrics. In n room furniture is
entirely of dull gold. In another
there are no chairs, only floor cush-
ions of priceless materials.
And says Mademoiselle Lisette:
THE background is as important
as the gown. A woman without
lovely surroundings is an unset
Jewel.
And MAIDEN oiselle Lisette Is
right. But a woman does not need
the luxurious surroundings she en-
joys to show herself at best advan-
tage. Good taste, judicially used,
will enable you or any other woman
to attain the same end.
To look beautiful on the street,
against bricks and commercial
buildings, a woman must be lovely
indeed, but one who cannot be beau
tiful in a garden. against soft foliage
and poisoning flowers, must be
hopelessly ugly.
The point is, that most women
are neither raving beauties nor
hopeless frumps. They simply need
a favorable environment to bring
out their charm.
The only place a woman can real
ly create her own setting is in he:
home.
Drab surroundings mean a drab
uninteresting personality. Color
means Imagination and a viewpoin.
A woman need not spend a for
tune on her home, but she should
spend what she has intelligently.

Neurasthenic Nuisances
According to the very best
psychoanalysis authorities, a re-
| former Is a neurasthenic nuisance.
He usually has the weakness of in
dulging to excess in something which
to a regular human being would be
classed as a simple and normal
pleasure-if you see what I mean.
Consequently it makes him per-
fectly miserable to see other folks
enjoying in moderation what, as
practiced by him, would amount to
a vice.
In order TO remove all temptation
from his own path. and at the same
time keep other people from being
happy when he can't, he agitates for
laws forbidding said simple pleasure
as a pernicious vice. And there you
are. Rather neat, what?

urally. @. +. d. much Of his writing is

And yet / do not believe that in a Dos
toevsky or a Lawrence such an aesthetic de-
feet matters. Mr. Kenneth Burke in the
current Dial" argues that it matters enough
to deny to Dostoevsky aesthetic eOnsidera-
tion. He says that the documentary novel,
the result largely Of Dostoevsky's writing
calls for distinction between the psyehol-
ogy Of form aad the psychology Of subject
matter or between the psychologism Of
Dostoevsky and the psychologism Of, say,
Greek vase"
Ordinarily, n, say, Mr. Sherwood Ander-
son were being discussed, Mr.. Burkes dis
tinction in favor Of form would be, happen
to believe, unarguable, but il that distinction
rules out Dostoevsky, or even Lawrence, as
artists, then am prepared TO shatter the
Greek vase. That criminal act, however, IS
not necessary, for / do not think Mr.. Burke's
distinction rules out the unconscious. the
accidental, the intuitive artist in Dostoeysky
or in Lawrence.
A good style is not necessarily the only
road TO beauty even though it is usually the
shortest, the best; sometimes, as in Dos
toevsky and. Lawrence, beauty is all the more
intense because it is unconscious, because it
is accidental, an oasis in a psychological
desert
