Brookhart, declaring he spoke for
the progressive element in the SEN

OF course I cannot believe her when
she says she viii do anything to make
me happy, for surely she must know
that have not been happy since

never invited me to her house except
in the most perfunctory way. She
has only written me very few let

American Designer Shows Some of
Most Distinctive Styles in Paris
BY MARIAN HALE.
NEA Service Writer.

m 1ARIS. Sept. 24.-Very few
American designers have the
IL courage to compete with the
Parisians in their own stronghold
of style, but Yvonne Davidson, wife
Of the American sculptor, 10 Da-
wilson, has.
Her understanding of Americans
and her knowledge Of the type OF
clothes they like and need, has en-
abled her to change her once small,
modest shop in Paris, to a prosper
Gus and pretentious one, where she
shows some of the most distinctive
and beautiful frocks in Paris, and
where she designs with her own
countrywOmen in mind.
Many American women come to
Paris and develop a serious case of
buyitis.' she explained. They see
a great many gorgeous frocks in a
short time, see them on girls select
ed to show them off to the best ad-
vantage, lose their heads and begin
an orgy Of buying.
Not So Good
when they return home they
realize that most Of the things they
bought, while they looked gorgeous
in Paris, aren't just suited to them,
after all.
at isn't the fault Of the Partisan
designers, but Of the American
women themselves. The average
woman is afraid to stick to her type
of frock, the one she knows looks
really well on her.
1.-THE Parisienne buys very care
fully. She buys economically, too.
Regardless of the general supposi-
ton, she does not buy extreme
styles. She also takes exquisite
care of her things. She selects
more carefully than the American
woman because she has so much
less money for clothes. 1 find that
women with less money to spend
invariably make the wisest choices"
Works Both Ways
This season Mrs. Davidson Is
showing a novelty in the way Of
reversible frock. In place Of buy
ing one dress, you buy two. made
on exactly the same model, one is
light, the other dark. They are
cut cleverly, so that when the light
dress is on top the dark one forms

elected to wear the dark one, the

Gently subjected to much dis
~ cussion on the part OF physic-
tans and laymen alike.
Much light has been thrown on the
so-called sources OF local infection.
Mysteries which have surrounded
goiter, chronic rheumatism and dis
eases Of the stomach and kidneys,
have been under strict observation.
Intestinal stagnation may cause true
infection by heterogeneous pene-
frating the tissues. However, many
cases of chemical poisoning. it is now
believed. are due to local infection,
orising in other regions.
DR.. De Courey of Cincinnati, head
of the gpiter clinic at Seton Hospi-
tai has advanced the statement that
goiter Is caused by fatigue or excess
Efve exercise. After the treatment
OF three thousand patients, he is
positive that much careful thought
must be given the subject Of physical
exercise in schools and other places,
by girls and women.
Eight women develop goiter to
every two men.
Excessive athletic and gymnastic
work, especially IN high schools,
when girls are going through the
edo1escent period, in my opinion is
being overdone at present. the doc
tor says. Several years ago I ad-
vAnced the theory that fatigue plays
an important part in the production
Of goiter, and I felt that the growth
develops when the normal limit Of a
patients endurance is exceeded,
whether suddenly or gradually. Wom-
en develop goiter more readily, be-
cause their zone OF endurance is
more narrowed than that f men,"
II the growth OF goiter in girls and
women can be prevented by careful
e1eting and, as DR.. Courey says, by
avoiding nervous tension and strenu-
Gus exercise; one Of the greatest
disasters may be a thing Of the past
m @ comparatively few years.

save a great many heartaches."
The voice of Americas popular
magazine cover artist continued
dreamily: More society girls ought
to get into these contests. "a girl
ought to get a long glass and prac-
tice before 1t. and watch good dra-
matte actresses, Elsie Ferguson or
Julia MarlOwe. or Mary Fickford,
who is the real beauty, because she
embodied the American girl ideal of
innocence. and Of course there must
be brains. E. there can be no real
beauty without brains. didn't
think so?"
BEG pardon" I murmured. I had
been watching the waves in his hair.
Why don't they have beauty contests
for men?
