There are hostesses who entertain by

to entertainments, or because they do
not wish to upset the household by the

WASHINGTON FASHIONS = By Wilma LovNe

Probably more progress has
been made in knitted things
this year than in weaves, though
the latter certainly have moth
ing to be ashamed of. Woven
fabrics are so envious at times
that they adopt a knitted look,
but no fabric that is made on
needles instead of a loom tries
to initiate a weave. Indeed, they
are individual enough, with their
ribbed effects, stripes, plaidS,
and clever ways of combining
color, besides their soft, intricate
surfaces. There are woody knits,
tweedy knits, angora materials,
those with rabbits fur woven in,
softer than you can imagine,
the chenilleS and boucleS, and
many more that it's almost i'm
possible to describe. They are
lacey and open, or they may be
cloSe-knit and sturdy.
With Slim Lines
A meshy material with open
weave makes the dress in the
center. Just enough rabbits
wool is woven into it soft and
slightly fuzzy. It looks like a
suspender dress, so fashionable
this fall, but it really isn't, as
the straps are made right into
the dress. 1t is priced $3.50,
and comes in such good combi-
nations as brown and red, green
and black. and newest of all,
brown with gray. 1t is in misses
sizes.
Gray is Smart
A splendid dress in women's
sizes is sketched today, the dress
with the surplice closing. 1t is
of a fabric called bunny CLOTH"
and it's about the Softest knit
ted material we've found so far.
The cut of the dress is superb,
the material thick and heavy
enough to hold excellent lines
even in big sizes, and it is easily
adjustable, as it wraps with a
sash belt. Wooden clips hold it
shut, but the best news is in
its coloring. 1t comes in gray. a
beautiful soft shade, that has so
suddenly become fashionable,
in a rather vivid but flattering
red, and in green with brown
banding the surplice closing.
This dress is also priced $3.50,
and is in both women's and
misses sizes.
New Neckline
But if you don't want any
thing so expensive, look at the
other dress, which seems to have
just as much essential smart
ness, and as many fashion fea-
lures. 1t is of the new chenille
knit, which resembles boucle,
but is of all wool, open and
porus. 1t is only $7.95, and there
are three other styles at the

The best fruits of medical
science will be the prevention,
not the cure, Of disease.
To build a healthy race, to
see that every person has sani.
tary living conditions, a clean
and adequate food supply, and
protection from crippling &C.
cidents or poisonous products
of any kind-such an ideal is
certainly the foundation of any
modern and intelligent state.
No wonder the editor of the
Forum, Henry Goddard Leach,
in announcing his platform,
took pains to declare that
while he favored drastic re-
duction of the expenses of
government" this did not ap-
ply to public health services.
And yet the difficulties in
the way of complete realization
of such a program are almost
inSurmountable. Not the least
of these is the indifference
of the public. One of the un-
fortunate features of human
nature is tHat we cannot con-
ceive of anything diSagreeable
happening until it has happened.
Many a mother and father
with an epileptic or mentally
defective child actually on their
hands wish that they never
had married. But try to per-
Suade a boy and girl in love
of any such unhappiness and
see where you get.
People will do anything to
save a child dying of typhoid
fever. But they would not hear
of having it vaccinated against
typhoid six months age!
Even with all this indiffer-
ence and ignorance and against
all this Stubbornness, how
ever, progress goes on. 1t is en-
couraging to compare the pro-
gr; n of the Royal Sanitary
Commission of 1871 with the
provisional Articles of a Ma
tional Policy in Preventive
Medicine" drawn up for Eng
land by Sir George Newman
in 1926.
The 1871 ideal was a clean
supply of drinking water, proper
disposal of sewage, regulation
of streets, highways and new
buildings, inspection of food,
regulation of epidemics, proper
lighting of cities, disposal of
the dead without injury to the
living and registration Of
births and deaths.

A Question of Etiquette

A Question Of Etiquette
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Is it etiquette to let a boy
kiss you, and put his arm round
you, the first time you go out
with him, or should you wait
till the second or third time?
My girl friend says it's cheap
to let a fellow kiss you the first
time, but the boy who took me
out last week said it would be
all right. I didn't let him kiss
or pet me, and he was very
angry and said I wasn't worth
wasting gasoline on. and so we
parted. A day or two later I
heard from a friend that he got
into some sort of law trouble,
and wasn't I glad I wasn't
worth wasting gasoline on when
1t happened? Yours,
BERNIE.
Better be governed by your
heart when it comes to kissing,
and don't let your heart run
away with you too quickly or
easily. Etiquette, as such, has
little or no concern in the
matter Of kissing. Well-bred
girls do not go in for immediate
and promiscuous love-making.
They're bit too fastidious for
that. And the sensible girl re-
serves her kisses for the man
she really loves-even though
she may be mistaken. At least,
