Paris Styles

Paris -(UP) - Everything from
ski costumes to evening gowns Is
made of hand-knit material In the
new Amy Blatt collection. Scotch
yarns are knit in intricate patterns
to resemble fancy wooden weaves.
while many Of the hand knitted
weaves look exactly like tweed.
This couturiere achieved per-
feet tailoring as the Globes are
cut from knitted material rather
than knit into chape on the
needles themselves. Many OF the
hats, designed to accompany
sports or street clothes. likewise
are of knitted material. usually
trimmed with q perky quill.
A suit Of beige yarn. knit IN q
fine close stitch, has q high
necked jacket which can be
worn closed at the neck without
a blouse or can be worn open
over a lightweight sweater. The
skirt Is a trifle shorter and quite
a lot fuller than those shown
last season at this house. The
pleats of the skirt are outlined
In a narrow band Of hunters
green velvet. which Is matched
by an edg.ng OF the same velvet
at the cuffs and at the high
neck. The belt is Of hunters
green leather.
The ski sweaters are Of heavy.

blazoned? Will he remember the
banners Of the knights along the
wall In the ancient room, banners
that are not lowered until a knights
work Is finished in death2
Will he hear echoes Of martial
music in his dreams, catch glirnpses
Of a royal pageantfy In chance
conversation here and there?
If he does, win the woman he
loves be able to comfort him, to
make him forket and 60 ahead,
never regretting his decision?
How will she react, this woman
who knew Edward as q Prince and
. King, when he is only q man,
deprived Of insignia, who comes to
her as any man the world over,
turns to the woman he loves and
who loves him?
Sacrifice Sets New Mark
Edward VIII has made q greater
sacrifice for love than any man In
modern history. From a position as
the popular ruler Of the great Brit
ish Empire he has become a man
without citizenship. Mrs. Simpson
is in the troublesome position,
whether she wishes is or not, Of
having been the cause of the sacri-
fee.
II love is the greatest thing in
the world-if the world is well lost
for the supreme devotion - then
be the King and Mrs. Simpson have
been wiser than the cabinet and the
prime minister and Queen Mary and
a heart.broken empire.
In any marriage there are bound
to be tense moments, tired mo-
ments, and MISUNDERSTANDING. no
matter how closely to each other
two people may be adjusted. When
such times come will these two
decide that they paid too high a
price?
Not since Cleopatra loved An
thony, and Romeo died for Juliet
has there been suhc q love story.
The world is wide, even when the
possessions of the British Empire
are eliminated. We can only say
"bon voyage" to the two who start
out-"bon voyage" and we hope that
the cost Of the ticket has not been
too high.

Without special instruments and

1t Is not possible for the average
person to see the eardrum or to
recognize trouble In the middle ear.
The physician has an otoscope
and an ear spectrum which permit
him to see the lining Of the canal
and to throw light directly on the
eardrum. When the eardrum can
thus be seen. 1t Is possible to de-
termine whether everything Is nor

struction or infection in the ex-
ternal ear canal.
1t Is also necessary, In examining

There will be no need to treat

When you are shopping, one d
the INCEST things you can do, IDEAS
lady, is to acquire book Of Christ
mas carols.
These are published in various
forms, sometimes included In mis-

either or both, because II the large1
book Is chosen, II provides songs foE
different occasions.

About the carols. I have o few
favorites, as most OF us have, and
strangely enough these ere the
simplest Of all. Words and music

There are other happy little

you take q child's magazine, or have
come across these jingles fortuitous-
ly, do save them. Keep a scrap-book
Of all music. Sometimes song will
be published that fades into limbo,
worthy OF a better fate. You will

Unhealthy tonsils and adenoids,
as has already been mentioned, may
be the source of infections which
reach the ear. The vast majority of
ear infections are due to head colds
and influenza. About 10 per cent
Of children with scarlet fever and
measles, and about per cent of
-ose with diphtheria, develop such
infections, while other cases develop
after mumps, typhoid fever. and
whoopinc cough.
Obviously, prompt care for chill
dren with variou sinfections, and
regular attention to the ears, are
important In preventing the infec-
ton from spreading to the mastoid
or internal ear.
Children under IL acquire infac-
tons Of the ear more easily than
do grown persons. The lymphoid
structure In the nose and throat Of
child is greater in amount than
that Of adults and becomes infected
more easily.
Certain typ Of infection such as
that caused by the virulent germs
called streptococci are more likely
to damage the ears than are others
II a child who suffers repeatedly
from colds has enlarged adenoids
and breathes through his nose with
dificulty. 1t Is extremely likely that
he has infection Of the ear. Re-

Clarifying

Evening coiffures designed for
holiday party wear remind one OF
pictures from uodey's Lady's Book
Of Civil War days. Almost quaint
certainly grown-up looking and
dignihed-they were created to
compliment the seasons evening
gowns, which are the epitofne OF
Luxurious glan1or.
With sleek, perfectly fitted dance
dress Of glittering lame or heavy
brocaded silk, no truly chic woman
will think Of wearing her hair in
silly little fluffy curls, or worse yet,
In windblown fashion. Instead, she
and her hairdresser will devise
some way of making 1t look swept
upward" and Of finishing 1t with
old-fashioned ringlets or thick rolls.
One of the prettiest hair styles,
done by an important Fifth avenue
expert who always takes into con-
life and type Of clothes as well as
sideration a won1an's face, mode Of
her hair, is especially suitable for
long tresses, waved softly at the
front, then swept backward and up
ward into rolls from temples to
nape Of the neck.
Roll Continues Part Line
The part extends only from
Widows peak across top Of the
head, then sections Of hair are
gathered into a roll down the back
where the part would normally be.
Ends of side rolls and center roll
are arranged in o figure eight knot
that Is pinned low on the neck. A
real gardenia is placed over the
part at the front.
Another, for short hair, has q
front roll which gives the same eff
feet as the traits" your grandmother
used to year. The hair Is brushed
from the sides toward the center Of
the back, revealing the shape Of
the head. The roll stands above the
part from which the long, fringy
bangs extend.
On another, there are topknot
curls, piled high toward the front
of the head, ringlet ends at the
back and, down the center Of the
back, three perfect little doughnut
curls. This is especially fiattering to
the very young.
Flowers Are Popular Adorninent
If Santa Claus doesn't bring you
a jewelled ornament or two for
your hair, you might spend some
Of the money you get for Christmas
on two or three little stars or q
couple Of crescents or one Of the
new jewelled flowers.
The vogue Of fresh flowers in
evening coiffures is becoming more
popular by the minute. At the
sarmtest night clubs, in theater lob
bies and fashionable ballroffis, six
coiffures out Of every ten are nm
ished with neat clusters Of forget
me-nots, sweet peas, carnations.
sweetheart roses or other small
flowers. Sometimes q single, waxy
gardenia is posed atop a shining
head, or three gardenias are pinned
across the back or above one ear,
