Paris.-The sleek Paris
costumes that sheath the
slim, 1.-the figure of Mrs.
Wallis Simpson have been
selected for the last three
years with the personal as
sistance of the man who
now is King Edward VIII
of England.
Mrs. Simpson always was
accompanied on her shop
ping tours here by the then
Prince of Wales, according
to Mainbocher, Frances
American born couturier
who has fashioned glamor-
Gus gowns and trim street
frocks for The Most
Talked-of Woman in the
World.
Furthermore, His Royal
Highness, instead Of sitting
in a corner, assuming q
bored air at the business Of
waiting around for a wo-
man to choose dresses,
showed intense interest.
Each time, he would review
the entire collection, exam
lining all the designs, max.
ing suggestions here and
there, and advising Mrs.
Simpson for or against
whatever she happened to
like.
And his interest didn't
drop there. More often than
not, the Prince again was
at Wallie's side when she
went back for fittings.
Both his taste and hers,
as far as her clothes are
concerned, are basically
simnle Together they al
ways chose gowns which
were discreetly rather than
obviously glamorous. Black
Is "their" favorite color
black always enlivened by q
touch Of color.
"They" always preferred
long slinky styles to draped
effects, also generous decol-
letes. they have unerring
good taste and never vast
ed time on anything family
unsuitable. "They" like pale
blue, too. It sets off her
dark hair.
Mrs. Simpson, says
Mainbocher, has the per-
feet figure for clothes. Her
legs are long and slender.
Her hips are very narrow.
Her gowns always are

made on one special model
who is famous for her slen-
der hips. When Mrs. Simp-
son wants to order direct
from London, sketches are
submitted; then, in the
margin of the sketch she
selects, Mainbocher pencils
"for Mrs. Simpson - skirt
not so full"
Among the clothes Mrs.
Simpson purchased in Paris
for her late fall and early
winter wardrobe are a
street suit with raspberry
red, slightly flared skirt
with a finger-tip-length,
black wooden jacket. The
Jacket molds her waistline,
flares at the hemline, has a
round collar, leg-of-mutton
sleeves, pockets and a floral
boutonniere to match the
skirt.
Just recently, Mrs. Simp-
son ordered an informal
dress Of sheer black wooden
with circular skirt, high
necked bodice and peplum
at the back. The sleeves
are, slightly shirred at the
shoulders and finished with
narrow wool braiding In red
and black to match the
braided touches on the belt.
A formal afternoon
dress, ordered at the same
time, Is of heavy black
crepe de chine with draped
bodice, drawn into q tor
SADIE at the waistline. The
dress buttons up the back,
has a shirred panel at the
front and three inch bands
of multi-colored bead en-
broidery on wristbands and
belt.
Also in the Simpson win
ter wardrobe Is a black
satin evening gown with
slim, trailing skirt, border
ed with q band Of plain
cloth of gold. This is topped
with a long.sleeved, fitted
jacket in matching satin.
The bodice Of the gown Is
Of Roman-striped lame and
is cut low at the front.
The other evening gown,
Of black crepe, has q slight
" full skirt (the fullness
starts below the hips) and
q deep band of gay floral
beading below the knees.
This Is completed by q pert,
short.sleeved bolero, entire
ly edged with matching
beaded bands.

There Is almost no fur on day

where garments are fur trimmed,
the fur Is usually tinted an unusual
shade Of wine red or green TO match
the cloth Of the coat Itself.

Eyes Of Most American Babies Now
Guarded From Infection At Birth

by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor, Journal OF the American
Medical Association, and OF
Hygela, The Health Magaslne
In most parts Of the United States
II Is the duty Of O doctor to drop
into the baby's eyes, Immediately at
birth, U solution Of silver nitrate.
The procedure is known as the
Crede treatment, named after the
physician who developed ".
The child's eyes are thoroughly
washed CASUALLY with boric acid so
iution), then one drop OF o 2 per
cent solution OF nitrate OF silver In
dropped into them 10 destroy any
gonorrhea germs that might have
entered the eyes during tho process
Of birth.
Before this procedure was de-
veloped as O routine, 80 per cent
Of all cases OF blindness In the
United States were credited TO such
gonorrheal infection. Since that
time, the number OF cases OF blind
ness attributed TO this cause has d.
minished 10 only Q per cent.
II this condition Is not prevented,
the infection promptly becomes ex-
ceedingly severe and demands the
best OF scientific medical care for
It's control-the kind OF care that
can be given only by someone who
understands thoroughly the diseases
Of the eye.
In very severe cases, sight may
be lost through destruction OF eye
tissues by the infection.
Another common infection Of the
eyes Of children Is trachoma. This
Is O disease spread by direct contact
with infected persons or BY indirect
contact with articles freshly soiled
by discharges Of infected patients.
People seldom die Of trachonaa,
but @ vast amount Of blindness Is
caused by It. In the United States
the condition Is particularly COM
mon among Indians and among
poorer classes IN foreign population
areas.
A person with trachoma must be
excluded from classes In school and
from contact with other workers In
industry. The disease Is best con-
trolled by routine examination OF
people herded together In great
numbers under poor conditions.
Immigrants, school children, in
mates Of orphan homes and homes
for the INDECENT, and employees Of
lumber and construction camps
should be examined regularly TO
prevent the spread Of trachoma. De-

Three additional guards are pro-
vided for the staff at the Jail under
the bureaus proposal for salary ap-

New Housing for Prisoners.
The long sought construction of new
housing for woman prisoners at the
workhouse Is provided by the Budget
Bureau, which recommended an item
of $4,000 for starting the program.
Penal officials have contended for
years the present old frame buildings
housing the women are fire traps.
The bureau allowed $4,000 for con-
tinuing construction Of the walled
group" of buildings at the Lorton
Reformatory, and in the salary pro-
posals for the combined institutions,
of $416.300, an increase Of about
$4,000 provided for the employment
of u more staff members. The bureau
said this increase and an additional
allowance of $4,000 for maintenance
were due to greatly increased prison
population.
For medical charities the bureau
approved an increase Of s38,5o0 for
services at Children's Hospital, Sic, 900
at Emergency Hospital. and $4,000 at
Casualty Hospital, due chiefly to in
,uficiency Of beds In Gallinger Munich
