Gas You Like 1t"

Various commentators have ad.
vanced different theories as to why
Shakespeares play was given the
name GAS You Like It" Braithwait.
however, in his ''Barnaby's Journal"
speaks Of las You Like 1t" as a
proverbial motto, and this seems more
likely to imply the true explanation of
the title Of Shakespeare's play. The
title of the comedy may on this sup
position be exactly parallel with that
Of "Much Ado About Nothing" The
proverbial title of the play implies
the freedom Of thought and indiffer-
ence to censure which characterizes
the sayings and doings of most Of the
actors in this comedy of human ma
ture in forest.

Influenza Plague Once Held Fashionable Cold
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The word influenza" came into
vogue in English-speaking countries
in 1890. The disease had been cpl
demic in st. Petersburg in 1889, and
it spread over Europe and to Eng
land and the United States. In the
following spring it was severe in In
dia and Australia. In most of these
countries it was known as ''pinflu-
enza," or Influenza" though in Paris
ia grippe" term used in the mid
die Of the last century, was revived
The word influenza" was given in
Italy toward the middle Of the Eight
eenth century to an epidemic of feb
rile catarrh. 1t was in use in Eng
land as early as 1862. In that year
Mrs. Montague, the "blue stocking"
wrote: "Mr. Montague re-
turned to London quite well, though
he has been much pulled down by the
fashionable cold called Influenza" A
general epidemic of influenza took

The sow-and-reap method SO COM

from Japan about the first of each

MAKEUP PROBLEM
IN FALL FASHIONS

The new fall fashions, which en-
phasize vivid color contrasts, pre-
sent a different problem in make
up. And the problem is all the
more important because the new
hats are so small that they leave
the face entirely exposed, accord
ing to Katharan McCommon, as
sociate editor of Harper's Bazaar.
The most effective makeup for
fall is the one which accents a
woman's natural colors. she writes
in Anomalies Magazine. Fall make
up should harmonic with eyes,
skin and hair and vary somewhat
with varying shades of dress, she
says.
"The effect Of. makeup which
simply accents nature is tremend.
ously effective without being at all
blatant" she writes. "If bright
shades take the color out of the
face, which they undeniably do, the
answer is to augment with a rouge
that will most nearly simulate your
own natural color. If you stick to
the colors that are becoming to
your type this rule may be easily
followed"
