PARIS STYLES By MARY KNIGHT

Paris. (UP)-Russian ermine and apricot colored dull-surfaced crepe is the nifty combination chosen for an evening outfit from Helm by the Countess V. de Morte- mart, nee Mile de Gaiffier He's troy.
 The dress has a deep bertha collar, semi low in front and deep as to back decolletage. sleek over the hips with the customary ful- ness beginning in the vicinity of the knees. A narrow fabric belt defines the waistline. The ermine coat is almost severely plain, hip length with straight sleeves except for a slight bulge over the elbow, tached halfway around the neck with the ends allowed to flow loose or be looped over in an ascot tie.
 Madame Maurice Mirabaud steps out in Paris high society in a Worth rigging of white linen called Touring" The skirt is straight and the hip-length jacket has two pockets and opens down the front to show the blouse, which is in dark green and white striped linen. Neatness and charm personified, this ensemble is completed by a trim sailor hat with a white pulled up brim and a striped crown Miss Nancy Hollingsworth leans toward pale green tussore tailored into a suit effect with printed crinkly organdie blouse. She also has a pale crinkly crepe dress for the country with a big checked linen sash tied in a fioppy bow with streamers dangling down the back

drown. Persons obsessed by this idea just drown when they think they are getting cramps, drown to keep from being disappointed!
 The greatest fault with inex- perienced swimmers is swimming too high in the water. It takes a lot of power to do it and any one tires quickly swimming high. Really you only need your nose above water, and swimming low takes almost no power at all.
 The reason the Australian crawl is such a wonderful stroke is the low positions of the swimmer in the water. I think that many of the "cramp" drownings We hear occur as result of too great muscular effort by amateurs who swim high in the water. (F. S. B.
 There is much sound. sense in what this expert tells us. Most swimmers will recall how they learned to swim only after they had overcome fear of submersion.
 Psychologists say a child is born with one instinctive fear, the fear of falling. Probably the same fear accounts for the difficulty most beginners meet in learning to swim Every body at first is afraid of submersion.
 Women and most men can float without effort by lying in still wa ter on the back with everything but nose and mouth submerged. If the water is disturbed by waves or by splashing near by, one has to give a kick or two to rise above the wave. But in quiet water one may float for hours that way With
 out effort.
 Cramps" in the popular legen- dary sense never happen. Vertigo from the impact of cold water on the delicate inner ear structures (where there is perforation of the , drum, particularly may render a swimmer helpless in the water. At tacks of apoplexy, angina, syncope, epilepsy have probably caused many drownings attributed to "cramps.'
 Long swims in cold swater are unwise, for even a good swimmer becomes exhausted more quickly in cold water, and when the mus cles are quite exhausted power lessness rese mbling cramps seizes the swimmer and may cause drowning.
 Many vacationists unaccustomed to much exercise attempt to show off a bit in their swimming and attempt feats beyond their capac- ity, sometimes with fatal results. Every child should be encourag- ed, indeed compelled to learn to swim, Good parents will not try to prevent the children from enjoy ing swimming if a sanitary swim ming place is available.
