Of n girl who had never yet seen anything
but the passing whisk of the skirts Of
Reality. The second was the marvellous
presence of Reality herself.

The fall brings the older
woman into her own hat. The
seasons styles are proving a
thankful boon to matrons who
have struggled for years to like
the hats their daughters wore.
And, though daughters often
find the new lines difficult,
mothers wear them with an air
that says, This is my lucky
day." What a turning of the
tables - what a paradise for
matrons!
What Daughters Envy
To prove that age is more
than ever an advantage, we'd
like to photograph the hat de-
partments we've shopped so
thoroughly this week, and re-
produce them here, instead of
sketching only several of the
models. There's so much that
can't be shown, but there's a
lot that can be said, and the
sketches illustrate the most i'm
portant things. That turbans
have returned, for instance,
with more manipulation, often
done to stimulate a brim.
That brims are just as much in
fashion, too-often turned up
on the left side and rolling
gently to the rear. Or down all
around, but down more on the
right. And in any type at all,
the length of hat from front to
back is always emphasized, be-
cause that's what gives the air
that daughters envy!

Experts Adopted a Standard
Bidding
For five years more than 10
millions of would be contract
bridge players suffered from the
conflicting advice Of hah-a-dozen
leading authorities. Every sys-
TEN advocated was more or less
tinged by a preference for spe-
cial purpose: expert plays, clubs,
teacher. lecture. tournament.
Each was over the heads Of 80
per cent of those wanting to
learn contract. The public
shriked for uniformity and
gladly would have accepted any
thing announced as a standard
game. Two experts do well with
any sort of system. They are
practically immune to inherent
flaws through their subconscious
ability to rectify defects that
would wreck ordinary players.
The remainder Of humanity
needs something nearly fool
proof, extremely simple, and
played countrywide.

~ A Dignified Brimmed HAT
with a Diagonal Feather Plume
not a typical cloche in the
last Illustration because this
model has a very new and dill
ferent feeling, more flatter1ng
to the face of middle age
and over, than any one we've
seen. The brim is wider on
the right side, which lets that
downward movement be re-
strained, while it gives the
seasons most desired effect.
Even the brim was designed
for handsome dowagers-to
make them handsomer. An
ostrich plume of dignified pro-
portions runs diagonally across
the crown, from the left around
the back, ending with just a
tip to reach below the brim
far down on the right. This
is the hat that lends the
manner Of assurance a woman
needs for difficult situations
for instance, putting upstarts
in their place!
Impressive in Price, Too
And all of these are real
hats-in the real sense Of the
word. Impressive hats, befit-
ting women past the age Of
slanninC m a CAP. or swapping
up a bargain hat. And prices
befitting the hats-more rea-
sonable than you'd be likely
to suspect for such workman
ship and quality. Every model
illustrated may be purchased
at a price between SIS and $40.

cerning these hats call or write

Your Health

Dy DIS AOSdN N1CAauCAuI1lS
A very significant fact is
that during the present cpl
demic of infantile paralysis it
has been found that the serum
Of any adult can be used for
the treatment of an early case
so long as the adult has
lived in the city. Heretofore
only the serum of those in
dividuals who were known to
have had the disease was used.
What does this mean? 1t
means that the germ, or virus,
of infantile paralysis is always
present where there are plenty
of human beings. Most of us
take it into our bodies in an
attenuated form and kill it
off with our own body fluids.
before it does us any harm.
We develope an immunity to
it without having any symp-
toms, without having an at
tack.
Contagious Diseases
This is true not only of in
fantile paralysis but Of nearly
all the contagious diseases Of
childhood. We can check our
knowledge of this in the case
Of diphtheria by the Schick
test, which determines whether
the individual has developed
immunity to diphtheria. Dur
ing the first year Of life the
baby has an immunity in its
blood which came from the
mother. Towards the end Of
the first year this begins to
wear out. From the second to
the fifth year Of life about
half the children who take a
Schick test show that they
would catch diphtheria if ex-
posed to a virulent case. From
that age on the number dimin-
isheS every year until by the
age of 20 barely one person
out of IS Is susceptible.
They have all acquired what
is called contact immunity.
Without actually having the
disease. they have been exposed
to enough people who harbor
the germs Of the disease to
have had a few mild infections.
The result is the blood reaction
is the same as a person who
has had a real attack.
Ample Opportunity
It will be noticed that the
age when the immunity begins
to increase is the school age.
The numerous human contacts
that occur at this time give
ample opportunity for the de-
velopment Of this type Of i'm
munity.
That is the bright side to the
picture Of epidemics Of conta-
glouS diseases in school. Tho-e
epidemics drive parents and
school authorities gray headed
There is a real danger to life
even from such usually mild dis
eases as measles. mumps and
whooping cough. Some author
tiles hold that it is nonsense to
say that the child might as
well have these and get them
