PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Paris, (UP)-Sailing the turbu- lent fashion seas is a dangerous business even in a stout craft for each house tries its best to create 6 wave that will rise higher than it's competitor.
 This year the only waves of real importance are sleeves, necklines and thigh lines. The spray from these high-crested undulations will be far reaching and touch strang- CTS in many lands. It appears from the collections already shown to a less-interested, but still much con- cerned public from abroad (mean- ing everywhere but Paris) that shoulders are no longer given any thought after rounding them off and dropping down to the elbow.
 1t takesiskill to do this well, how
 ever, fof the material is often cut
 in one-piece with the yoke of the
 blouse, dress or coat and continues
 to midway of the shoulder and el-
 bow where the interest begins to take definite shape. There may be a large bulge gathered above and below the elbow itself, or the ma terial from the elbow may fall in long, looped folds or straight pam els as in the Tudor manner. Again, they may keep sleek to the wrists and there turn back into calla lily cuffs or lace frills of Henry the VIII. Cuffs, from the Maggy Rouff school are wide and long points of fur or stiff fabric protrude toward the rear like sharp rapiers, or great wide to the elbow bands of fur or satin, la Helen Hubert make the cuffs of coats and dresses for early spring wear.
 Next to sleeves, or in equal inn portance with them, we would stress necklines-which are square or square with dip in front and held in place with jewelled clips at the corners.

Probab14 one of the reasons that actreSse4 have such nice complexions is that their skins are well-lubricate0 every time they remove stage makeup. [
 Begin with your lips. If you havd u liquid cleanser, soak cotton pad, in it and remove every trace of the lip rouge. If you don't have a Ii1 quid cleanser, use cleansing creami
 Your eyes come next. Put little cleansing cream on Q cotton pad and gently remove eyeshadow from your lids. Then dip your forefngers in cream and work on your eyed brows. Massage it right into tho roots, rubbing backwards and fora wards. Then take a piece of c1eans< ing tissue and remove the creanls Repeat until the cleansing tissue is no longer streaked with black. {!
 Cleanse your eyelashes by gently covering them with cleansing cream and then wiping them up-l ward with your forefinger coveredE by a piece of cleansing tissue. See that every trace of the mascara isl removed.

which there is no such serious con- dition. T he correspondent confused real colitis with the imaginary mucous colitis".
 Liberation in the large bowel is a serious condition. I cannot discuss it here, for the simple reason that it is impossible to do so without suggesting to healthy readers mor- bid symtoms. But agree with the correspondent that the wise course for any one who develops any symptoms at all is to go immedi. ately to competent physician and remember please, that a com. petent physician never prescribes for or advises or treats one with rectal disorder or similar complaint until he has made a proper exam ination and determined definitely what he is treating.
 In denying that such condition as ''mucous colitis" occurs I am not advancing merely my own notion. I am giving you the consensus of medical opinion. Try and contro- vert tiff any physician of stand ing has the courage to dispute this teaching.
 The correspondent seems deter mined to show me up in the worst light. Among the remedial meas ures that were used in treatment of the ulcerative colitis was freak diet".
 Freak diets, to my mind, are the kind wiseacres monkey with on their own funny notion or on the suggestion of some mail-order humbug healer. I have never im- piled that dietary regulations pre- scribed by ones own physician are in any way abSurb.

borax. If it is efficacious it is much better than the hcemical recom- mend for the purpose, which is far elss safe than borax to have in the house.
 Finger Tips Cracked
 I am a woman 60 years old and for the past five years have been much troubled by cracking of the finger tips, and the skin of my hands being very dry (Mrs H. A.)
 Answer-Occupation may be factor. Use of harsh cleaning agents is a common cause. Give the finger tips a good greasing with real cold cream (made by the drug gist after the Pharmacopoeia form ula). (Copyright 1894, John F. Dille Co.)

STYLE CHATS

The season of bad checks is up on us, as is the annual birth of the blues. Almost every store on Fifth avenue is promoting checks and plaids as the logical means of tearing yourself away from glum winter. If you aren't ready to buy one of the tailored coats along Chanel lines in plaid, the salesgirl will recommend dress or suit in very bold effect for wear right now under your mink coat, or rabbit coat if that's what yours happens to be. And with rabbit fever fright ening folks in the east into not eat ing cony, there'll be plenty for coats at a song. The checks, as I mentioned, include lot of bad ones. They have no authority, or distinction, whereas some of them are in decent, fine wool, and of colors that are good clear. bolds, greens, black and reds. The best are bold and~ unafraid.

A CASE OF COLITIS AND
 A WARNING


 A correspondent delivers this warning:
 About three months ago read your article in which you said there is mo sech animile" as mucous colitis. About the same time I first noticed con- siderable mucous-I took your advice and "ignored it as much as possible, with the result that a few weeks later found
 myself in the hospital with a
 severe case of ulcerative col-
 its.
 Furthermore the treatment was rest, irrigations, hypoder- mic injections and freak diet"
 (your own words).
 What I should like to know now is this. Are you still of the opinion htat there is "no sech animile" as mucous col- itis?
 If were writing an article I should say "At the first sign of (we'll omit symtoms) have 8 proctoscopic examination"
 The correspondents recommen- dation is a good one, only so few laymen would act upon it. The proctoscope is an instrument by means of which the rectum is ex- amined. Four out of five persons who suffer with trouble in this part of the body prefer to fool along with nostrums, freak dieting and the like. False modesty, or just plain ignorance, keeps most victims of rectal of colonic troubles away from competent physicians-physi- clans who do not attempt to pre- scribe for or advise or treat such cases until they have made prop CT examination and determined precisely what is the matter.
 I cannot assert too emphatically that there is no such condition as mucous colitis." Colitis means in- Of the colon, and there is certainly no inflammation pres- ent in the characteristic complaint which wiseacres and their quacks call mucous colitis."
 This correspondent fell into the error which many others are likely to fall into, from the misunder- standing caused by applying the term "c0litis" to a complaint in

That profound thinker and keen observer, Mrs Charlotte Per- kins Gilman, believes we do and that this is bad for both. She ex- presses the belief, in her "Women and Economics" that up to the beginnings ol their distinctive sex life girls shoul abe reared freely with boys and the fact that they are different in any way, or should play different games, or, indeed, dress very differently should be carefully kept in the background. I believe most parents of expe- rience and educators will agree with this opinion. I do.

 This soup is made entirely with milk and is very nourishing. One quart scallops, cups milk, 3 tablespoons butter, 2 table, spoon flour, 1-2 teaspoon salt, IA teaspoon pepper, ? teaspoons lem on juice.
 Reserve 1-2 cup whole scallops. Chop remaining scallops and sprinkle with lemon juice. Let stand fifteen minutes. Add to milk and simmer for thirty min- utes.

Washing dirt and bits of shot out of the wound
is good idea. If you have any stitching to do,
make the stitches about an inch apart and
knot and cut the thread after each stitch.
For a broken leg wing, make splints just
as Is outlined in the Scout manual for first-aid
to a person. I know of one instance where
pigeons leg was broken and was made as good
as new by fastening the bird in cloth cradle
suspended over a box to keep her Of her leg
while the bone knit.

WiH WatertoqvI Pets

Here's a chance for you to get some unusual
pets at rdiculously small cost If you're lucky
On the ponds marshes. rivers and bays where
sportsmen hunt wild ducks and geese they very
often wound one without killing it. The guides
frequently bring these birds home, nurse them
until they're well and keep them for use as
decoys or breeding stock. Sometimes you can
get them to give you one and then If the bird
isn't too badly hurt, you can make him entirely
well again.
The worst tears in the skin can be sewn up
with silk thread and sterilized needle. It
doesn't seem to hurt them at all. At least
they don't vince nor do they whimper. OF
course, If the wound is deep you should not sew
the skin until the flesh and bones beneath have
begun to grow together.
Be careful about using antiseptic on these
patients. They don't need very much of it
and most Of the time it is better to use none
at all. These wild things have better natural
defense against infection than do human beings.
