tunes in the picture tell q story of
last word chic when 1t comes to what
the little miss of six or whereabouts
will be wearing during the coming
months. The first little girl has on
jacket-and-dress costume which will
measure up in matter of "style" to
mothers newest spring outfit. 1t is
made of two-tone red checked crepe
of bemberg and rayon mixture. A
perfectly stunning material this, which
will endure any amount of hard wear.
It's all "dolled up" with organdy fix
ings. too. as it should be to be stylish.
The diminutive ocean pearl buttons on
the collar and the pocket are just too
cunning for words.
The demure little lady, seated in the
center Of the picture, has on frock
which most any mother will be want
ing to copy The material for this
darling dress is dotted chiffon of benz
berg. This model features the new
dropped shoulder. Tiny pulled sleeves,
a round yoke and an inset band in the
skirt all Of finely pleated net add to
the exquisite daintiness Of the frock.
The ribbon around the waist Is navy
with red.red cherries to tell you that
it's springtime.
In every little girls wardrobe there
should be at least one party frock.
The model pictured is in pastel pink
chiffon OF bemberg. The skirt is as
full as dress to wear to dancing
school should be. That's why this
adorable youngster is carrying mutt
of tulle to match her Pierrot ruff. She
has no doubt been doing some fancy
dancing. For ordinary party wear this
dress is lovely without the muff and
tulle ruff.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Poison
ivy can not reach out and catch
you at distance It's toxic principle
does not float through the air, even
to the most susceptible skin. The
weed has to be touched to be
dangerous.
This was among the points on
poison ivy and its evil activities
brought out in a discussion by L. E.
Warren of the United States de-
partment of agriculture here recent
ly The actual poison of poison ivy
and poison sumac, chemically iso-
lated after many years of bad guess
ing, proves to be a resin-like stuff
related to carbolic acid. 1t is not
at all volatile, and so can not act
through the air.
Persons who get poisoned in spite
of careful avoidance of poison ivy
probably pick up the toxin by hand
ling garden tools or other objects
that have been in contact with the
plant Warren suggested. And, of
course, there is always the POSSIBLE
ity that in spite Of the susceptible
ones vigilance he may have brushed
against the leaves in an unguarded
moment
In spite of all the remedies that
have been proposed, Warren held
that the best thing to do after con-
tact with poison ivy is to wash the
exposed pars with alcohol or
straight" gasoline, either of which
is a good solvent for the poisonous
priciple. Be sure not to use ethyl
gasolineS which contain lead, as lead
poisoning may result. This should
be followed with another washing
in water, with liberal use of soap.
OF the strictly medicinal rem
edieS, Warren suggested several as
having been recommended by con-
siderable numbers of physicians.
Among them was the solution found
successful by Dr. James B. McNair
of the Field museum: Five per cent
OIL ferric chloride in a so per cent
solution of alcohol.
Warren made his talk under the
auspices of Science Service, over
the network of the Columbia broad
casting system.
