WHITE KID
COSTUMES
by Alice I1angeIier
international News Service Staff
CORRESPONDENT

PARIS.
HID costumes are the latest
creation Of the French de.
signers which take care Of all the
little animals whose fur IS too
wiry or NANCY for decorative pur-
poses. It most always happens
that their hides make the most
luscious and supple skins which
are being fabricated into whole
kid costumes and fashionable
trimmings.
Whole kid and leather dresses
are being shown In every collec-
ton. Striking ones in black are
trimmed with white and white
ones in black or colors. "A cloth
pleated skirt s0metimas has a
white or black and White kid
jumper. Madame Barcena, now
giving q series Of delightful
Spanish plays at the Theater
Femina. wears a charming black
and white one over an orange
crepe de chine skirt finely pleated..
One OF the loveliest combinations
is silver and black which Is APP
pearing almost everywhere.
Kid, Like velvet, Is as supple as
silk this year and the dressflak-
ers are doing what they like with
1t. One OF them has even taken
to pleating it and the result is
Icyelier than anyone would ever
imagine. Lenief is using brilliant
leather app1iques on his evening
dresses. Bands OF cutWork appear
on velvet froc1xs and cnt-out gold
or silver leather collars and cuffs
trim many an evening coat.

Nl To be apart is agony. To
be without you is to be forever
in the darkest night. I reach out
and grope for something cannot

To forget you would be like
forgetting the sunshine, the sing

time, the stars in the heavens
would be like forgetting God.
You have gone away, my own
little sweetheart. You may jour-
ney far but my great love for
you will bring you back. And

ing to take you in these hungry
arms, and hold you close for
ever and ever. Your heartsick

Infantile paralysis, as its name

per cent of the cases of infantile
paralysis occur in children under
five years OF age, although older
children and even grownups are
sometimes attacked.
Within the last 90 years, and es-
pecially since 1905 infantile paralysis
has been occurring with constantly
increasing frequency and extent and
In 1916 1t occurred in epidemic pro-
portions, resulting in a total of not
less than 10000 cases in the United
States.
Since the epidemic OF 1916 the
disease has been on the whole some
what less prevalent than in the years
from 1910 to 1915 and though some
thousands of cases still occur in the
United States every year. it may at
least be hoped that the 1916 cpl
demic marked the crest Of the wave
but We cannot be certain that We
may not have a repetition OF 1t.

symptoms and it is now recognized
that many cases have only these

other cases this early improvement
stops short Of recovery, leaving 4
more or less extensive paralysis
