 Paris (UP)-Madeleine Vionnet, oft-called queen of couturieres, :" displays her usual disregard for the rest of the fashion dictators by ig- noring the general tendency to- ward period" dresses, plaids, stripes lower waistlines and all the rest of the things forecast for fall.
 Her collection is outstanding in its use of wide, loose sleeve-often elbow length-set in low on the shoulder with more or less fullness: in its almost exclusive use of vio- let or purplish red shades for wool or silk daytime clothes; white wool materials for winter; and a very high-waisted Empire line for eve ming gowns.
 Pan velvet, velvet corduroy and moire are three of her favorite au- tumn fabrics, along with rich James which have already established their position in every, Parisian fashion show.
 Most interesting is the proposal of white for winter. One sees a short loose jacket made of heavy white wool material; its sleeves are long and loose, almost bell-shaped at the wrists; two frogs" of black leather take the place of buttons as they link together in front. Worn under the white jacket is a short and simply styled black wool crepe dress with only a violet suede belt for a trimming.
 White flannel becomes @ fabric for glamorous winter nights instead of sunny summer mornings. It is used to make a breast-high bolero studded with geometrically shaped bits of gold ceramic and worn over @ perfectly plain dinner dress made of wine-colored wool, high at the neck both back and front and with extended shoulders for a tiny sleeve effect.
 A floor-length evening coat is made of alabaster flannel. The long, loose sleeves, so typical of Vionnet, are banded with rich blue fox cuffs matching huge blue fox shawl collar. Another evening coat is of pleated white velvet. Three wide bands of silver fox encircle the flaring skirt; two bands almost hide the velvet sleeves; and an im- mense silver fox collar adds to the luxurious whole.

GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

 The upswept coiffure has caught on. Worn last year only by those who always are first to try the new, and then usually for evening rather than daytime, 1t now is seen every where. If you have worn your hair the same way for years and years and years, this is indeed the time to try something new.
 However, one who decides to wear her hair brush upward all the way around ought ito realize that back hairs must be quite long. Otherwise, they'll tumble down about an hour after they have been brush ed upward and fastened with an in- visible comb. Hair at the front should be quite short. And Q new permanent is a great help.
 May Look Unkempt
 The most important thing to re- member Is that nothing looks untidy or unattractive than an upswept coiffure which just doesn't stay up. If, after a couple of weeks of wear ing an upswept, you suddenly realize that you just can't keep wisps of hair from flying out at the back and that the curls on top always are tumbling down over ears and fore- head, better forget the idea and go back to a medium-long bob.
 Naturally, going ack to a long bob doesn't mean that you have to wear your hair fiuffed out around your face or in dips over your fore head. The front sections can be brushed upward and anchored on top and the back left long.
 Make Coiffure Suit You
 As a matter of fact, regardless of the popularity of upward hair dos, don't wear your own hair up if doing so makes you look about ten years older. or if 1t emphasizes the fact that your nose is too long. your jaw too square or prominent or whatever. Change your hairstyle so that you look in tune with the mode, but don't let anyone persuade you to wear anything that doesn't im- prove your appearance. If upswepts just do nothing for you, ask your hairdresser to creat smart varia- ton that will look new and utterly becoming.

treatment of a physician is as es- sential as it is for broken arm. Here we can make only a few per- tinent observations to counteract certain popular fallacies.
 Neuritis is literally inflammation of nerve. One nerve or many may be involved, but the condition never jumps about nor "bothers" today or this week and not tomorrow or next week. In other words 1t is a silly fad to call vague aches or pains "neuritis silly as 1t is to call them rheumatism" Pain indeed, is not an essential symptom or sign of neuritis. The diagnosis of neuritis rests on other signs (rather than symptoms) elicited by the physicians examination in the earlier stage, some of them becom- ing manifest in later stage of the trouble, notably atrophy or wasting and flabbiness, paresis, weakening or paralysis of muscles supplied by the affected nerve or nerves Impairment or loss of refiexes and the reaction of degeneration under the galvanic test are other signs of neuritis.
 Wrist drop" that is, weakening paresis or partial paralysis of mus cles of the forearm which extend or straighten out tn ewrist, is 6 familiar evidence of lead poisoning as in painters, but occurs also from alcoholism in heavy drinkers ol secret topers, and sometimes from pressure on the trunk of the same nerve (musculo-spiraD in the arm by crutch or by lying heavily or the arm (during deep sleep, coma or prolonged anesthesia).
 "Steppage gait" is characteristic of neuritis of the perineal nerve ir the leg, from early locomotor taxia diabetes, chronic arsenic poisoning sometimes chronic alcoholism; the patient in walking has to raise the foot very high at each step be- cause the toes droop and power te fieX the foot or draw up the foot is impaired or lost
 Facial palsy, painless, loss oi function of muscle of one side oi the face, so that the patient is un- able ot frown, open and shut the eye, show his teeth, smile, whistle or blow out his cheeks, is fairly common occurrence, usually being first noticed on awakening in the morning. It is due to inflammation of the seventh cranial nerve, the facial nerve.

Wrong Pronunciation Shows You Up

Avoid Errors in Everyday Words
 "So," says Nell, "the bridge over the CRICK WUZ out and we made a DEE-toor to get aCROST."
 And Bill with a quizzical smile thinks to himself, Nov we'll hear that her ANT said the high WOTer was JEST a NOOsance and they might all KETCH colds"
 You can't blame Bill for his un- spoken ridicule. Incorrect pronun- ciation of common words does show you up.
 It's quite as easy to say CREEK for creek. WAHz for was. de-TOOR for detour, ACROSS without a "t'' tackled on at the end. And why not AHNT for aunt, WAWter for water, JUST instead of jest. Nuisance for nuisance and CATCH instead of ketch.
 Why endanger your social and business future by incorrect pro- nunciation? If you say EIGHTH instead of HITE for height, jen- LEVINE instead of JEN-u-in for genuine, people will criticize your pronunciation and think you are ignorant. Our 32-page booklet puts you right on 450 commonly mispro- nounced words. Words of current news interest. Unusual proper names. Story form makes lessons in pronunciation enjoyable.

is, We cannot send children to school and expect some good fairy to transform them. They are what they are and teachers can do no more. Besides, Hector gets discouraged when he sees his fail- ures down in black and white.
 Report cards submitted at the end of the month tell no new story to parents who know their offspring thoroughly. Naturally there are chil- dren who astonish their parents, doing better or worse than expected in school. But in most cases reports are a pretty fair criterion of abil- ity.
 Most systems of education still have faith in the monthly or bi- monthly statements of debits and credits. Reports are reports, and parents like to know where their children stand. Then, too, children seem to try a little harder when they know an accounting will be submitted. That's only human na- ture.
 Seek Reasons Behind Marks
 Look over Williams discouraging report card when he brings 1t home Digest it. Try to decide where the trouble lies.
 First of all, allow for the child's ability to acquire knowledge ane his disposition to study. In bott cases you can help, for you know far better than the teacher what his real obstacles are. You know the caliber of his brain and the flaws in his energy.
 It may be that your attitude is antagonistic to school. Is that itf Maybe William won't try simply be- cause he has an idea that school in the main and Q teacher in par. ticular are enemies rather thar friends.
 Or 1t may be that William has never had to apply himself at home Habit doesn't change by itself. Why should a child do for strangers what he wouldn't think of doing for his parents? It is really toe much to expect.
 Help the slow child with the hard spots. There is no law against homo service that supplements schoo service. And please don't jump to conclusions about poor marks. Gel down to the roots that bear such discouraging flowers. Add your ef- forts to that of the school.

 Lead Poisoning
 Does lead poisoning cause the skin to turn yellow and peel, like pel- lagra? co. D., Charleton).
 Answer-Not as a rule, though one with chronic lead poisoning may have pellagra if her diet is deficient Quart of milk a day is probably best assurance against pellagra; it is excellent protection against the more active manifestations of chronic lead poisoning.
 Hay Fever
 Grocers here do not have the pure molasses without sulphur dio- vide, only sorghum. Is that what you mean? What source of vitamin D and calcium do you advise for hay fever that is not fattening? (Miss T. B.
 Answer-Send three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address, for name of molasses containing no sulphur dioxide, and ask for mono graph on hay fever, calcium feed- ing, vitamins everybody needs. Hay fever, calcium feeding, vitamins everybody needs. Hay fever is us- ually not fattening.
 Occluded Tubes
 When the Fallopian tubes are closed is there no other way of opening them than by blowing gas or air through them or by an oper- ation? (Mrs. M. M.)
