PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

rJJnited Press Stan Correspondent
 Paris = (UP) - There are more ways to stitch a spangle than te skin a cat. Take Philippe. ct Gas. ton and Lucien Lelong, for in. stance.
 Philippe ct Gaston takes Q million or so spangles in bright jetb lack. The entire gown from this house is made of the span- gIes, varying slightly in size from small confetti to the size oi a five-cent piece. They are placed, one barely overlapping the other, beginning with the small ones near the waist and increasing to the hem. Upward from the waist to the shoulders the same process is observed. Filling in the corsage which is cut very low and oval and forming a Queen Elizabeth ef- feet collar in the back from shoul- der to shoulder, are bands Of diamante. There is no belt on the gown, he spangles seemingly moulded to the body in an unbrok- en line.
 Lucien Lelong's version of the spangled gown begins with foundation of black taffeta over which is a soft fluff of black tulle with a cape frill over the shoul- ders and a rather deep V-neck back and front. Then, as if from a hug bag of stardust, he seems to dip his dextrous fingers and scatter specks of silver, lavishly through the waist and hips, letting them peter out from the knees to the hem and sprinkling them spar ingly on the cape. Both are lovely and might well be in the same wardrobe.

 Some use the big stick, dock | for tariiness, accept no excuse TOT | mistakes and no matter how well | the work is done, complain that 1t should be better.
 Some few others go to the op- posite extreme. They rely on happiness to turn out the goods. "A clerk or stenographer can work better if encouraged by praise in spite of mistakes" IS the motto. Such a system usually IS discarded after the new boss gets in. different tactics adopted by the in- dustrial and business world to ger fine maximum of effort.

 Praise or Not to Praise | Just when can we praise chtl- dren without damage? Should they be praised when they don't deserve it2
 It is well known that the pow CT of suggestion and praise are most potent when child is three, four or five years old. Even when | he gets no results and his stagger- | ing attempts to do things s e m ridiculous to us, the effort IS the | thing that counts. We have to encourage effort and pride even when we know the child is not doing his very best.
 | But there comes a time when we can reasonably expect better | things, within his powers ol l course.
 | And as his fingers become more
 nimble, his wits do too. He grad ually develops a sense of distinc- l ton between his best effort and carelessness. Is it right, then, to | continue our praising just to en- courage him? If he copies f u r
 words wrong out of his speller, is ,lthe teacher gaining @ point in character developmentb y praising | the ones he put down right and
 excusing the others? l Must Ring True Is his mother hardening his
 pride in himself by saying he was a good boy to put one skate away while the other is out on the porch for some one to fall over? 1 Nobody will sense the sham half so quickly as the child him. self. Praise should be honest.
 Personally believe we are toe
 chary of praise, and follow too closely in the footsteps of the
 Scrooges who drive too hard and
 complain that nothing is ever
 right.
 Such tactics are certainly not
 conductive to effort. But on the
 other hand no human being wants too much commendation undeserv- ed.
 Children should be lauded for
 attempt as well as result when the attempt is their best.
 Praise and criticism balance
 each other. Both should be fair
 and honest.

With a medium so inherently as face, the style Is in- variably simple. The streamline silhouette, with fitness introduced in the region of the knees, or rnassed at the back in the latest manner, is preferred.
 Sleeves Used Generally
 A harrow sheath in gleaming satin, generously decollette to pro- vide the note of transparency, ac- companies the lace dress. Sleeves are nearly always featured, being another excuse for the transparent effect. Louiseboulanger adds a bright tartan sash with long streanAers in vivid red and green to a blue silk lace, embroidered in silver thread.
 Molyneux uses a heavy black lace in an open spiders web pat tern and trims the high neckline with two huge coral pink chry- santhemums. Worth adds long. tailored sleeves to dress of dull white lace with moonstone pali- lettes outlining the hem movement and the shoulders, and a deep V decollette at the back.

 On a fine red wool net evening dress, which stresses double symmetrical peplum he boldly places a stiff green velvet bow sash which passes underneath the waistline in front, preserving the popular princess line.
 Curiously enough, the tulle dresses are invariably much more formal in character than the lace, these usually being offered for din- ner or theater wear, but seldom for very important dress functions

 The day following Morden's death Cathay dies of poisoning.
 GFiR dearns that MOrden visit cd the apartment of ALICE HORTON who has reported to police the disappearance of her roommate. ESTHER ORDWAY. He questions Alice and instructs detectives to shadow her.
 Griff is also acting for THOMAS DECKER, witness to tile shooting of EDWARD SILL LINGBY, private detective. Griff and Blocker talk to Decker and show him photograph of JAMESON, the gangster, bcliev- cd to have shot Shillingby. Deck CT says Lampson is not the man.
 Leaving Decker, Griff and Blocker go to see KENNETH BOONE, friend of Alice Lorton's Before starting Griff gives Blocker revolver.
 CHAPTER XXVIII
 Blocker eyed the revolver dis tastefully. What's the idea?" he demanded.
 Put it in your pocket" Griff repeated.
 "But why?"
 Were going to call on MT Ken meth Boone. The party may get rough"
 Look here" Blocker protested, saren't you going rather far in this thing without notifying the po- lice ?"
 Were going a lot farther" Griff told him. "This is one of the cases that the police would fall down on. They'd give out a lot of newspaper. publicity and get the thing all tan gled up. They'd wind up by con- yicting an innocent person and let ting the guilty escape"
 "What case are you talking about?" Decker asked. This mur- der case?"
 About the murder of the news paper reporter" Griff said, "and while we're about it, the death of a man named Frank B. Cathay."
 Don't you think Cathay com mitted suicide?" asked Blocker. Are you contending that he didn't in view of the statements of the doctors who conducted the post mortem ?"
 Griff opened a box of cartridges, slipped some extra ones into his pocket and said, "Ill admit this much. He took the poison volun- tarily."
 You're going to leave me here?' Decker asked.
 Down in the vestibule," Griff told him. You're going to wait until the newspaper reporter. come and then you're going to tell your story and tell the whole story just as it actually happened"
 Decker's face showed relief as he remarked, Gosh, what a load this is on my mind! Why didn't you show me Lampson's >hpicture sooner. Griff?"
 "Because thought it was Lamp son until about an shour ago. thought he must have done the killing."

The doctor declined to dd the operation because he did not believe the circumstances war ranted the risk. Another woman complained about her mouth-l forget whether her mouth was toe large or too small. But referred her to another plastic or sculptural surgeon. He, too, declined to oper- ate, for similar reason. That's honest service. On the other hand, if either of these young women falls into the hands of a "beauty doctor" who is not responsible and has no professional standing, she will undergo the operation.

 asked him to discuss It more fully. His reply was:
 Whether science in the future will develop such preventive measure remains to be seen but at the present time the best practice is to follow the advice to be had from latest developments in re- search.
 These indicate that diet or nutrition, early dental care and cleanliness are all of importance and which one of these is of the lilOSI iAAPOi tdASO dA6Ciy uSPChoe on the viewpoint of the individual; but certainly if taken in sequence. diet comes first, inasmuch as it is we'll established that prenatal diet of the expectant mother defi- nitely affects the strength of the child's teeth and that diet in in- fancy and early years continues as an important factor in the re- sistance to mouth i'll health.
 Tn discussing diet I generalize and advise the well balanced dt- etary of milk, fruits, vegetables and coarse foods.
 Reporting on any specific diet tending to insure mouth health IS both foolhardy and unscientific. In general it might be said, how ever. that since teeth are largely composed of calcium and phosphor- ous salts, foods rich in these min erals are essential to the diet.

 "In spite of perfect diet. how ever, teeth are not always perfect ly formed, necessitating early and regular dental care.
 Effects of Cleanliness "That cleanliness helps to reduce mouth i'll health has been well proved. It should not, however. be considered as a on hundred percent guarantee against tooth de- cay. It is an aid. When properly carried out it is also a matter Of general health improvement as well as a matter of common decency.

and see what conclusion you come to.
 3.-Just the opposite. Dr Dean R. Brimhall,, psychologist, found that a man who had an eminent scien- tist for brother had seventy-five times as many chances as the or dinary man of himself becoming famous. He found that if the brother of a famous scientist had no more chance of fame than the ordinary man, then the eminent scientists would have to have had eighty brothers each to furnish as many distinguished broth CTS as is true of eminent sci- entists. Or, if we had amall town of 1000, all citizens with as good chances of fame as the brothers of leading scientists, then this little town would furnish as many great leaders as the average city of half a million.

UNWED MOTHERS
 GIVEN SHELTER

Philadelphia (UP)-There is a haven here for unmarried mothers and their babies.
 Since 1854 - the year of it's es- tablishmcnt-St Vincent's hospital, a Catholic institution, has shell tered and cared for many hum dreds of unfortunate cases.
 Expectant mothers are not placed on a clinic basis. They may go to the hospital for examination and stay there three months after the bbay is born. The babies go to school" and are graduated" when they reach the age of four years. Then usually they are turned over to an orphanage.
 But by the time they leave the ''school' the babies have been given the needed care and atten- tion which Is found in the average home.
 Play periods with an abundance of sunshine are given the infants. By the time they are four, they have learned to eat their meals alone, brush their teeth, bathe themselves and attend nursery classes.
 The maternity qualifications of the hospital have attracted many private patients, and a paying clin- ic also Is well patronized.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN IS

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN IS A
 BEAUTY DOCTOR.
 If your victuals be doctored they are unwholesome. If your drink be doctored you would better go dry. When you begin doctoring your beauty the melancholy days are here and no mistake.
 Beauty specialists or beauty doc tors self-qualified may be more TO- mantle and mysterious and have more impressive stage properties around them but if you need ad- vice on the cultivation of beauty or treatment for faults or blemishes these beauty experts compare with the real physician surgeon as a pretty package compares with 8 square meal.
 Beauty experts market a good deal of extravagant romance about pumping you out or thinning you down here and there or smoothing out your wrinkles or moulding your snub nose into Grecian one or causing whatever blemish you have to vanish" They accom- plish these miracles by mysterious remedies of purported French, Egyptian or Circassian origin that work in defiance of the laws of physiology and common sense.
 Fill fancy jar with short two ounces of some poor substitute for standard cold cream (Ointment of Rose Water, U. s. P.) and wrap it in some amazing literature and offer it for $8.50 and you can sell plenty of credulous women who are always willing to hope or be- lieve there may be magic in the jar.
 The cultivation of beauty or the closest approximation thereto that nature has vouchsafed you, is mainly matter of knowledge of and adherence to the laws of per- sonal hygiene. Personal beauty de- bends on personal health.
 The treatment of blemishes Of the skin or physical faults of the features is as strictly a medico- surgical matter as is treatment of deformed feet or curvature of the spine or impairment of vision.
 If you have lung, nerve, stomach or throat trouble you seek advice or treatment from physician. Your face, your complexion, your skin, your hair deserve as much consideration when there is any thing wrong with them.
 The reason for the existence of a horde of beauty specialists or beauty doctors outside of the law regulating the practice of medicine is that attribute of femininity which is so deplorable yet some-

 "I don't give a damn what the police think. I'm telling the truth, '" Decker retorted.
 "Okay" Griff said. Lets go, Blocker"
 Griff located two men from the detective agency seated in auto mobiles in front of the Trent Apart ments.
 "Are they in?" he asked, when he had identified himself.
 One of the operatives nodded. "Both of them" he said. That's the apartment up there. You can see the window. with the curtains pulled down."

1.-Certainly; in fact they should pay more than those who have children because the continuance of the community out of which they make their money depends not only on an adequate supply of children being born but also upon their adequate education and, since they have no children to sup port they should pay higher pro- portion of their incomes to educate the children of others.
 2.-I think not, because the sense of beauty among both men and women is based primarily in their unconscious sense of the fitness of the opposite sex for parcnthood; and the first requisite of parent hood Is correct physical propor- tions which are the foundations of beauty. Certainly the esthetic sense is deeply related to sex. We shall discuss later whether beauty and intelligence tend to go together. Look around now at your friends
