Figures Are Tailored To Fit The Dress

New York. Nov. 23-The made to-measure figure is the latest It is an ingenious development of the new princess silhouette.
 Now, instead of fitting new dresses to ones figure, the figure is tailored to fit the dress.
 Suppose a none-too-perfect-3 sees just a dream of a little frock she craves. Alas, it has that slen- der waistline she no longer pos sesses. tight hips she cannot quite slide into, and a very low rear decolletage that would shame her overly plump shoulders.
 Need she sigh and pass it by" Not at all. She may take it and be trimmed down to fit it.
 That is what was done, first Of all to a Swedish noblewoman who wanted to wear her mothers we'd ding gown. but was too big around for it, and later to others equally noble in their aesthetic ideals, by the ultra modern Silhouette Shop that Saks Fifth Avenue has open- ed.
 Reducing by Inches
 Reducing, to this novel estab- lishment. is not a matter of ounces and pounds. Scales do not enter into it. But the yardstic.l and the tape measure do. It is inches, not pounds, that fly out the little terra cotta and silver door and disappear into oblivion.
 This shop emphasizes the fact that the day of the standardized. fat-chested. straight-up- and down figure is no more, Curves are in. But no woman can tell another woman what her curves should be. Each woman is her own form and two things determine just how big or how little should be the arc of her feminine contours. These de- terminants are her height and her bone structure. They measure a woman and decide how many inches there should be in various spots and then reduce her to it the requirements.
 The principle of reducing is no. bS nlet NelBht IS no index what soerer to a figures beauty. That idea is as passe as the f1apper fig ure. Three meals day, no diet re- strlctions, but the right combina- tions Of foods are the rules. Neither the muscles or the nerves are worked on, But the fat is at tackled vigorously and the body is put in prime circulatory condition on the theory that excellent circ,l- lation will prevent Jumping of fat here. there and where no woman wants it.
 Waistlinc is Attacked
 The main line of attack in this modern manner of reducing is, Of course, the 1aistlinc. Eight wom- en out of 10 have lost their waistlines in pursuit of fapper hips. That convex bulge does nothing whatever for the new sill houette. Lov-belted frocks con- craled it. But princess lines throw it in high relief, Having it reduced is preferable to wearing corsets, in the opinion of many

Berton Braley, perhaps is the best known, highest salaried and most prolific free lance poet. Ed die Guest it may be explained, has a special market. Braley, as a ven- der Of pale dreams, takes on all corners if they will pay his price. He writes calendar verse, frontis page sonnets. advertising iingles. syndicated poetical cheer, greeting card couplets-and now and then a book of poetry. He has been known to receive a poetical suggestion over and deliver it before hanging up the phone. He thinks in rhyme.

 Many pen and ink artists made hilarious contributions to theatrical back drops this season. Their exag- gerated whim sicalities are in black and white and when unfolded usu- ally get what Variety calls "a belly laugh" The chief conspirators have been Rube Goldberg, Peter Arno and Wynne.

 Incidentally, a chain of restaurants and a department store front are boldly named and portrayed on two revue skit drops It may be on the level but to most of us sillies out front appears to be cheap advertise ing.

 Also it seems to me the screen should once in a while disassociate wealth from vice.

 Healthy, normal proportion is the ideal striven for by this meth cd. Too many figures that have been concealed in styles of the past few years are. alas, mere as- sortments of odd Jumps of fat. Spreading upper arms that be- speak the middle-aged spread, heavy dlaphrams, bulgins thighs fatty shoulders, inside-t -the-knee Jumps of fat, and thick ankles are the most insidious foes of the graceful feminine beauty that new styles ask of women. It is har- mony Of face and figure now-or a girl gets nowhere.
 Some of the shops most inter- osting work is done on those in- side e-the-knee Jumps Of fat which make woman look bowl legged because they spread her knees when she walks and cause her 10 sit with her feet apart, a most ungraceful posture.

 Fair Foes Of Fat
 Strong armed. strong fingered, ruddily- glowing Norue- gian girls attack these beauty foes and reduce the figures to perfect proportions. They are proudest. perhaps, of the grand opera singer who lost nine inches around her, waist, two around her upper arm, four around her hips and three around each knee! She looked like her own daughter when she finished" they bragged. For as the Jumps of fat disappear, that dead, fiat look Of faces over 4n. gives way to the live, healthy glow. that follows good circulation. Women themselves could. per haps, make their figures over. It. iS not that some might not be juS4 as handy in remodelling thenl- selves as they are their clothes. But so few persist, It is so much easier 10 lave the alterations made for one. And, Of course, in this day and age it is so much more modern.

has been more frequent in cattles Investigators for the United States public health service have shown a. definite relationship between the germ causing contagious abortion in cattle and the one causing malta fever or undulant fever in man.
 The germ is found in the milk of infected COWS, but this is not ap- parently the chief mode of infection, since the disease affects young men more frequently than it affects wom- an and children.
 In Denmark, investigators found most Of the cases among agricultural I workers, especially those coming into close contact with cattle, and in this; country many cases have been found ln workers in packing houses deal-. ingwith swine, sheep and cattle gen.: orally.
 It seems likely that infection prob ably occurs from direct contact with diseased material rather than from the drinking of infected milk or eat- ing infected butter or cheese, al, though it is quite possible that tho latter may be source
 Workers for the various state health departments and for the United States public health service are attempting to find out how ire, quently the disease contagious abor, ton occurs In cattle. Examinations l of specimens of milk are studied as to the occurrence of the germ o6 tuberculosis and also as to the pos- sible presence of the germ of malta fever. The menace of undulant fever is not the. menace of 8 great plague like the great epidenics of influenza, but rather the danger of new con- dition which insidiously creeps intd the population and gradually affects increasing numbers of people.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medican Association and of Hygcia,
 the Health Magazine

Years ago considerable attention vas paid to a disease called Malta fever which had occurred in cpl demic form among British soldiers quartered in Malta. The same dis case occurring in other parts of the world carries the name of Mediter- ranean fever and undulant fever, the latter because of the intermittent character.
 Of recent years this disease has tended to occur in increasing num- bers in other parts of the world, so that within the past year 15 cases have been reported as q eveloping in Great Britain; in Denmark, there are said to be 500 cases a year, and several hundreds of cases have de- veloped in the United States.
 At the same time that this dis ease has appeared in man, the dis ease known as contagious abortion

 The art of escape from hard reality is practiced even by the very young.
 There are all sorts of things from which children. like their elders, are apt 10 seek escape. Responsibility, hard work, competition and difficult social adjustments are all among the things which children sometimes try to Cvade.
 The methods of escape are endless. There'is the malingercr, the boy who has an carache until after o'clock on Monday morning.

sooner-it was the medicine
should have had in the first place.
Grateful men and women are call
ing every day to tell Of the remark
able benefits they derived through
the use of this medicine. Many ot
his callers are people in poor health
seeking to find the road to new ano
glorious health. The Konjola
is pointing out to them case after
case wherein Konjola proved the
first and only medicine that brought
relief. Take, for instance, the state
rnent Of Mrs. Emma Hamilton, 1914
East Tenth street, this city, who
had a most remarkable experience
with KonjOla:
after I had taken a brief treat
Klent Of Konjola I realized that it
was the medicine I should have had
in the first place. For ten long
years I suffered from kidney trouble
of the worst sort. Severe pains in
my back almost prevented me from
getting around. Night and day they
affected me; my feet and ankles
we're swollen and sore, in fact, my
whole body was filled with these
sharp, agonizing pains. Due to the
sluggishness of my liver I became
subject to dizzy spells, when hun
dreds of spots appeared before my
eyes. I was becoming weaker and
more rundown daily-often barely
being able to get out of bed in the
morning. Worst of all was the fact
hat nothing gave me the slightest
DIT Of relief.
1T was just when my case was
a It's worst that I started on the
Kon;o.a treatment. This medicine
certainly had the most adverse con-
ditions to work under But do you
think that made any difference?
Certainly not, Konjola did not
falter 1t went right to the source
OF my troubles and in little over a
month was a we'll and happy
woman Konjola strengthened and
invigorated my kidneys banished
the swelling and pains My liver
was regulated so that the dizzy
spells vanished and new energy and
vigor took hold of my system Kon-
lola alone is responsible for the re-
markable change in my health !
owe everything to it ] can fully
understand why it is called the
master medicine of them all and ]
praise it to everyone-young and
old"
This is not an exceptional case
Koniola has thousands of them to
its credit Daily more and more
men and women are describing the
( benefits they derived through its
use 1t is said that no sufferer can
afford not to give Konjola a trial
