For long IL has been known that
certain minerals are present in the
organs Of the body. Here they
work in mysterious ways. Recent
Investigations are bringing new
light on this interesting subject
Two eminent French scientists. p.

not only copper and aluminium. but

The brain Is said 70 be particularly
rich in tin. The pancreas. that

present in the ashes from half a hun

Just what are y duties az these
metallic elements in the intricate
machanlsms OF the body? That il the
problem now before the scientists.
Physicists have found that the
atoms OF each element emit definite
wave lengths az light or ultraviolet
rays. This happens whenever these
atoms are highly heated Of electr.-
fed. Such rays are sorted out hy

Mere Wisps of Soft Velvet,

They Accentuate

short shrift Of
wi wrapping up a lovely
evening dress and a
beautiful lady to send them out
into the night is the most
fashionable thing to do this
Spring. Compared to their
former luxurious glory these
little cloaks are but a mere
wisp of soft velvet, taffeta or
heavy crepe. Their size. however,
does not detract from their beauty
or Importance, for THEY have become
the little gems Of the season. Their
real value Is seen when they are worn
with a gown Of long, flowing lines,
for the mere brevity of the wrap
seems to accentuate the slender i'm
preston created by the current
gowns. Couturiers have been most
ardent in their attention to this small
costume item and have originated
them in wrap-around patterns. with
soft shirred collars of the same
fabric and used ruffled flounces on
others that swath the hips. A type
that is being accepted with surprising
alacrity is the model Of tailored plain
ness. Such a cloak may serve as an
addition 10 the afternoon as we'll a.
the evening cloak and is an asset 70
any wardrobe.
An original conception Of the pre-
vailing theme Is illustrated in the
sketch today. Somewhat longer than
the type Of cloak discussed above, this
model uses a wide band Of marten
below the hips 10 suggest that the
coat terminates at this point and that
what Is in truth a pointed f~lounce on
the cloak might be q part of the
frock. Bands Of fur are imposed
above the elbow Of the long sleeves
in a manner that is highly recon-
mended this 1ason. The effect Of the
cloak Is thatpf Summary luxury, for
the fabric i of white taffeta pat
termed with a large flower design. A
brilliant red lining carries out the
color of the flowers, which shade from
pink x red with artistic verve.
That chiffon may emulate lace in
design is shown in the delicate eve
ming gown shown here. A delicate
pattern is etched in silver upon pale
pink chiffon for the major part Of
the gown. The full. floor length
flounce Of even hem line is Of plain
chiffon Of the same shade. The
flowers posed at the hip are OF pink
shading into a deep rose. The deep
shade points the fragile impression
created by the model.
