NHE mode this season manages TO be all
things to all women, thus giving each one
- of US a chance 20 express our individuality
through the medium Of our attire and yet con-
form to fashion. Latitude, bounded only by
good taste and limits Of expenditure, is the motto
of the mode and this is particularly true of hats,
for there were ever so many Of US who disdained
the little off -the-forehead, down-the-neck type Of
hat and yet could fine no suitable alternative.
But now, every type of hat is to be seen, from
tiny little berets and turbans to large cartwheel
affairs Of delicate charm and subtle fattery.
Straws Of various weaves, from the coarse basket
weave straw to fine Milan and Skinny p%anamala-
que, all have their place in the mode. not forget
ting the important role played by haku, ballibuntl
and other linen weaves.
The story Of the millinery mode can be told
in three chapters represented by the sketches Of

should not express any establishment
over the success OF the coat frock

Or II nay be Just below the
shoulder. One ensemble has a coat
with elbow length sleeves worn over
a frock that has soft long sleeves
falling away from the elbow. This
ensemble Is Of black crepe.
There IN a softness about the mode
that must capture the fancy OF even
the most indifferent Of us. Tweeds
are subjected to fine treatment. as
are cottons. both with gratifying re-
suits. A suit or fine black tweed
simply made. but beautifully cut. is
further softened by a frothy. frilly
blouse OF white chiffon.

time prior to 1889. a group OF
ladies' and gentlemen OF the
court sat In gay around the
beautiful Marie Antoinette. Queen
of France. in a reception room OF the
palace there. But presently some
one spoke OF the dissatisfaction OF
b people and OF the menaclng atti-
itude toward the rulers that some OF
them were assuming. and the talk
changed from gay chatter 10 depress-
sang seriousness. for IL was a topic
that reminded French ~autocracy and
mobility OF much that they would for
iGet. IL recalled 20 them the protests
tof the people against oppression by
'despotic royalty and an initiative ele-
sment OF the n~obility-and II also re-
called many acts OF fragrant misrule
and much injustice that drove those
protests home. And added to this
was tn unacceptable fact that the
people. having become distressed and
lacking necessaries OF life. were reg
astering increasing boldness in their
demands for justice and were getting
uglier In mood on its denial.
And the topic irked the Queen.

gradually growing worse

A little over a year ago, the Bureau Of Edu-
cation of the United States Department of the
Interior made a report on this subject. It gave
the unpleasant news that more than three million
children in the United States have impaired hear
ing. This is a serious matter.
Probably the most common cause Of deafness
is catarrh. The common cold may develop into
catarrh. The inflammation of the mucous men,
brane of the nose and throat extends up the
passageways to the middle ear. This produces
what is called middle ear deafness"
There can be no doubt that pus absorption
from any part of the body will greatly lower
the resistance to disease. Fermenting substances
in the intestinal tract produce poisons which
affect the whole system. Catarrhal troubles are
considerably influenced by their absorption.
