Black and White i'm the Fashions
BY MARY MARSHALL.

so economical. A feeling seems to
prevail here that unless YOU can get
very extensive clothes il is better not
to get black at all. American women
don't seem to think of the aH-black
coat as a serviceable sort of wrap
SO they choose gray or beige or Drown
instead. Then. too. there is the feellng
that black is "old.
BLACK and white is also well liked
bv most French women, though they
know usually that this magpie COM
bination must be worked out with
much care, One cannot wear any
black clothes and any white clothes
at the same time and consider 1t
smart black and white ensemble.
The important thing with this type
Of frock or ensemble is that the Whlte
must be always perfectly white. FOR
this reason it is sometimes good pan
to have the white part of your mag
pie ensemble something that may
easily be washed or cleaned. You may
be tempted to introduce a touch OF
color in your black and white ensemble
not realizing that the black ana
white combination is of itself sutti-
cientlv striking. You may be tempted
to wear green beads and other jewelry
or TO pink a rose buttonhole flower on
vour black and white street ensemble.
AS a matter of fact, the effect is bet
ter if YOU stick to black and white.
White violets or camelias or white car
nations, or chrysanthemums made
from cut pieces of white georgette,
look much better.
The only woman who cannot wear
black to advantage is the woman who
is excessively pale, with a sallow sort
of paleness. But this is a difficulty
that most modern women can over
come without compunctions.

The Meaning Of Immunity.

Most people know that an individual
rarely can have measles q second time.
AS 4 rule an instance of a second or
even third attack of measles arouses
doubt as to the accuracy of the dag
noss. Stll, 1t is readily conceivable.
to the medical mind, that now and
then measles may reCur. The reason
for this is that we know immunity
is always a relative state. whether
natural (present at BIRTH or acquired,
and never, so far as the diseases of
man are concerned, an absolute
condition.
Goats are naturally immune to
tuberculosis, but now and then tuber-
| culosis gets somebody's goat. The
goats immunity is only relative. not
absolute.
Absolute immunity against any dis
ease is hardly conceivable. Such
state seems as nearly impossible, to
the medical mind. as a nonstop air
| plane flight around the world, yet not
| quite so impossible as a giraffe.
| Long before Jenner discovered vac
| cination the country people believed
| that one who had had cowpox would
not catch smallpox when exposed to
| it and. indeed, Dorsetshire farmers
were innoculating themselves and
their children with cowpoX for 20 or
! 80 years before Jenner's time, because
| they believed the comparatively mild
/ cowpox conferred immunity against
the dangerous and disfiguring small
| poX.
Not only is immunity relative in
| degree, but it is generally a variable
quantity. The immunity conferred by
| an attack of measles probably grad
/ ually diminishes in quantity with the
! Of
/ the Individual may again have measles
/ il exposed to a heavy or virulent
/ infection
/ The immunity conferred by an at
/ tack of smallpox or by vaccination
certainly diminishes gradually with
/ the passing of years, though probably
| it is never entirely lost. When the inn
munity falls below the threshold, then
| the individual may again be suscep-
| tible to smallpox. There can be no
definite duration determined for the
protective immunity. 1t is as likely
to be 20 years as it is seven or nine
| or three.
A vast amount of idle and rather
vaporous stuff has been uttered
about this and that factor or influence
/ lowering resistance" This is pure
bunk. even though it sound like

| scientific evidence tends rather to
show that the factors or influences
which presumably lower resistance" "
actually have no effect on immunity

but my legs are unusually thin. They
used to be a good size before my baby
came. Does dancing develop the legs?
/ have always had dark circles under
my eyes. What causes them?
C. B. L.
Answer-You should weigh between
12S and 131 pounds. You must build
up your weight if you want to have
shapely legs. Exercise alone will not
develop them. Yes, dancing is good
exercise for the legs, especially esth-
etic dancing. Take more time for
sleeping and resting. Take a walk
outdoors every day. The dark circles
may be due to some organic trouble,
eve strain, loss of sleep or lack of
thoroughness in cleansing the skin.

two or three times a week. Brush

BEAUTY CHATS
Sun Baths.

The Influenza this last Winter has
left a, good many hundred of us feel
ing rather draggled. rather more go
than we usually feel in the early
Spring. Probably poisons are left IN
the system from the disease. In any
case, the whole body is weakened by IT,
and it will take many weeks OF good
weather before normal health comes
back.
One of the finest treatments is a sun
bath-whether you have been a victim
or not. I mean sun bath on your
entire body. Doctors recommend arti.
fetal sunlight baths for all sorts of
troubles now. skin troubles, for infiu-
enza, for anemia, for weak children,
etc. There are ingenious machines
which produce rays of light, contain
ing the healing elements of real sun
light; to lie in these for to 10 min
utes is of the greatest benefit.
But real sunlight is better, and
cheaper. If you have a secluded upper
porch, or one that can be screened
without keeping out the sunlight, lie
on rug undressed. turning back and
front and sides in the sunlight, as
soon as the air is warm enough.
Don't stay exposed to the direct sun
more than three minutes the first
time, four the next, and so on until
you are up to 10 or Is minutes. The
suns rays draw poisons out Of the
system, kill germs in you as well as
in houses, act as wonderful tonic to
both skin and scalp. If your skin is
little irritated when you bathe after
being out in the sun. never mind, it
is apt to feel that way and can be
soothed with talcum powder.
Most skin eruptions are cured by
sunshine, the SUMS rays killing the
germs in the skin.

HOW 1T STARTED

Ship Christening

The custom OF breaking a bottle OF
wine over the bow of ship at hel
launching dates back to ancient times,
when the sea was deemed possessed
with the attributes of many and differ
ent gods.
In order to protect themselves from
the ocean sailors, superstitious as
ever. would dedicate their ship to
some deity and ornament the Vessei
with his statue; so arose the orna'
mental flgurehead Of the old sailing
ships.
on completion of the ship, it was
decked with garlands and flowers and
launched. in the sea with prayers,
priests on board carrying on the cere
mony of publication, consecrating the
ship to the god whose image 1t car
ried.
The common sacrifice of those days
was the pouring of wine before the
god, and this gradually evolved into
the new but now impossible custom
of breaking a bottle of champagne!
