Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

, The return of cotton to fash
ion brings back cotton under
wear and cotton nighties. They
have taken on new style fea-
lures too. so that they are just
as smart as silk and offer
strong competition to their
silken sisters. Of course, we
all know they are easy to laun-
der, they are durable, and there
fore add their practical quail
ties to the appeal of their
smartneSs.
True Empire Style
We found delightful cotton
night gowns in a Washington
store that are we'll worth writ.
ing about because they follow
fashion so closely. Just as we
are wearing Empire and Kate
Greenaway frockS, so these
night gowns adopt about the
same details and lines. One style
is typical of the Empire, with
a belt worn at the high waist
line, with tiny little capes over
the top Of the arm and a skirt
TERED in Empress Eugene
style.
Kate CreenaWay
The other gown follows the
lines of a Kate Greeneway
frock. 1t has a ruffled bodice,
straps over the shoulders and
a very full skirt. The Saiesgirl
who showed them to us told us
that girls sometimes bought
them to wear as dresses about
the house as they are just as
attractive as a washable frock.
Both styles are of flowered chif-
fon voile. They have white back
grounds with the print in pas
tells and the selection includes
every possible color.
If you want to be really COM
Portable, try sleeping in a voile
mighty on these hot nights and
you will find them as comfort
able as they are attractive
If you want any more infOr-
nation about these gowns or
about your fashion problems,

KOchs law by which the specific
cause of an infectious disease is deter
mined is fairly satisfactory to any in
teligent. reasonable or scientific mind
It requires that the germ be obtainable
IN pure culture from all or most cases
Of the disease in question; that the
germ be not present In other diseases;
that incubation Of other individuals of
the same species with cultures Of the
germ produce the same disease, and
finally that the germ be recovered in
pure culture from these cases.
An infectious disease Is one caused by
the invasion Of the tissues by germs. It
"a not necessarily CONTAGIOUS or COM
Snunicable by ordinary natural means.
Infection means the invasion OF It's
sues By germs. It does not mean what
the public tmagines-n1ere presence of
germs in the mouth or In the saliva or
In the secretionS Of nose or throat or
on the skin. 1t Is important TO have
this distinction clearly in mind, espe-
rcially when you are dealing with your
own Illness or the illness Of any one in
your environment. You may kill OF
= most or all of the germs that happen
to be in the secretions Of mouth or
throat or nose, but that doesn't make q
particle Of difference with the germs
that have invaded the tissues and are
causing some illness or indispositton.
