PARIS.
TNHE scarf seems to be assum-
Il ing more Importance than
ever this spring.
In fact if seems to be increas-
ing in popularity as 1t dlminlshes
in size Time was when the scarf
was an all-enveloping affair that
took on the proportions OF
sbavI. The very newest varieties
barely go around the neck once
and tie. But they are more or
less necessary for all the tailleurs
and spring coats. They must
match the hat, of course, or at
least be in harmony with it.
Soft colors are most in favor,
and the best material is heavy
crepe de chine or fine quality
Of pongee. Embroidered moths
on either end. often in cublst de-
signs and three shades Of the
same color, make them new ana
interesting affairs with great pos
sibilities. Plain, rather than
printed or batiked ones, seem TO
be the tendency, although bands
of print and other trimmings are
most favored on the ends.
Nine. Rolande is having great
success with the scarfs, on which
she applies a bit of old brocade.
She has taken the dominant tone
of the old material, dull mauves,
old blues, soft browns, and has
made lovely long scarfs OF satin.
On the ends she applies bits CT
ancient stuffs. A very new style
has the center Of the scarf gayh-
cred into small triangle of the
brocade, which the wearer puts
beneath her chin, crossing the
ends at the back, or letting them
hang. A scarf shirred on the
right shoulder can be worn
wrapped around the neck or hang
ing from the shoulder.
Another charming innovation is
the scarf shoulder straps, which
are made of chiffon, cut about six
inches wide and which tie in
bow, with long ends, one in front
and one in the back. One from
Jenny Lemoine has pleated ends,
trimmed with garlands of tiny
roses. Sometimes taffeta is used
to make a more or less stiff scarf,
which the designers are using for
some of their models that almost
depend upon this accessory for
their effect. Plaid silk ones are
very chic.

AN INJURED SCALP
BY DIR. Charles A. L. Reed

the clot, or plug, thus formed
being the cleanest and best dress
ing that the would could possibly
have. 1t ought, therefore, never
to be disturbed unless the edges
of the wound are so far separated
that it becomes necessary for the
surgeon to draw them together
with some stitches.
1t is. however, necessary to
protect the clot itself from con-
tamination from the hair.
1t is for this reason that the
hair should be carefully scissorc0
away from the scalp for dls-
tance Of half an inch or more
each way from the edges of the
wound, the remaining longer hair
being brushed away in all direc-
tions.
The original cIot may be washed
away with soap and water If It
looks contaminated This should
be done with sufficient vigor to
provoke a little fresh bleeding,
for the purpose Of forming new
and uncontaminated clot.
To the area thus exposed should
be applied compress of gauze OF
linen or cotton. carefully sterl-
lized by boiling and saturated
with a solution of boric acid,
lysol, carbolic acid or corrosive
sublimate, but preferably the first
named.
This compress should be held
in position by bandages, encir-
cling the head and secured, where
practicable, by adhesive strips to
non-hairy areas.
Having made a good dressing,
don't disturb it for several days.
The wound will then probably be
well.
