 Paris.-Hitherto, winter sports clothes came under two distinct headings-the essentially workman like, practical garments for the de- termined skiers and those destined for the more decorative spectator. The result was that the former sac- rificed beauty in the name of sport and the latter achieved exactly the same result in a misguided effort to be picturesque.
 The latest winter sports clothes shown in Paris avoid both ex- tremes by being setsibly ada ted to their purposes. There are cre- ations for skiing, with lines as clean cut as skis themselves. These are for the average woman's daily aver age of three to four hours Sk..ng. And charming other suitable cre- ations are provided for the re,naind- CT of the day.
 Balmy Winter Weather
 New ski clothes take into con- sideration the fact that the tenn perature of most winter resorts dur ing the day is almost that of June. Wind is far greater an enemy than cold, so Jacques Helm is launching the wind dress"
 Made of waterproofed crepe de chine, equipped with hood and sliJe-fastened front, it provides lightweight but effective protection against the wind and is the logical development of the wind breaker jacket. Worn over a pair of prac- tical, easy-fitting but very mascu- looking trousers, it does away with the necessity of wearing sev- eral layers of sweaters, not to speak of wool mufflers.
 The usual wool gloves, socks and warm but light wool blouse or pull over are the only accessories needed with the new Helm idea.
 Black seems to be great favor ite this year. Patou also combines black gar white broken check tweed jacket, cut on loose lines but not flared like MolyneuX'. The tuck-in blouse of black crepe de chine is Russian in inspiration with soft high rolled collar and a huge monogram worked in vivid yellow and blacfl silk.
 Dark green, the color of winter frs, is also very smart, especially when contrasted with creamy white. Helm shows an -the-snow" en- semble including dark green, water

Ski Togs Both Useful And Decorative

proof trousers, a blouse in match ing green print topped by a trim white wool jacket. A fourth riece consists of a fitted white redjngote which can be worn over xxi trous- CTS or again with a skirt of ths same fabric. This is really double-duty ensemble as it would be perfect for yachting.
 Warm Hood Collar
 Deep lynx cuifs, slit pockets un- derlined by intricate soutache em- broidery and a three -cornered hood collar which ties under the chin with black velvet ribbon provide all the necessary decorative effects. The model is in a light grey but would look equally well, in a number of other colors.
 Dark brown and dark blue come next in line as winter sports co1ors and look smart with white or cream. The hooded windbreaker or semi fitted jacket seems to have solved the problem of caps and helmets, ex- cept of course in the case of ex- pert skiers who need more protec- tion.
 Man-tailored trousers combined with ultra feminine blouses are worn generally by smart women for lounging and the cocktail bar. Grey, navy or black trousers are co,n- bined with pastel-colored blouses, or gayly colored prints, usually silk.
 For skating, the trousers are re- placed by knee-length kilted skirt or by one-piece dress with very full, circular-cut skirt, over match ing kneebreeches. Plaids are very popular this year and most skiing outfits are completed by a little fur cap and barrel huff, although the hooded windbreaker jacket looks equally well on the ice rink.

This means, in general, precon- ceived standard of perfection, "ex- isting in idea only"
 Long words. Sifted, they mean that in training a child we often fix standard in our minds and move heaven and earth to make the child live up to it. And may be down to 1t. How can we tell?
 It implies, often, making a silk purse out of something intended for a wallet, or wallet from a cocoon intended for gentler wear.
 Impractical Ideals
 The parent may get an ideal into his or her head, and make life mis- erable for everybody by trying the impossible. Ideals are not always practical.
 Naturally there are certain stan- dards that must be learned. There are cleanliness, courtesy, kindness and truth.
 But such things do not necessar- fly take into consideration the child's own makeup his natural leanings, his special characteristics or his emotional pattern.
 much prefer the word "guid- ance." In a good, sensible family I do not think any term at all need be used. The parent who real izes that each child is different, and that each child is different, and does the best she can to raise him in the way he should go without softening him too much but at the same time giving him enough lee- way to grow in stature-this is my idea of handling the child.
 It has happened, and continues tC happen. that the parent will pick up line here and there from text or hearsay, and try to apply it tt boy or girl for whom it was moi intended.
 Avoid Rigid Standards Like the tale of cruel old Pro crustes, who kept a measuring bed" for his guests. The too-tal man was beheaded to fit thi mythical couch, and the too-shor man was stretched on a rack.
 By reading and learning nor, about children and their ways, am sure parents learn much. The, see why a child acts as he does Besides, they pick up helpful idea here and there to aid them in do ing a better job.
 But I should cease thinkinl about my family as something tech nical. Even the big-wigs in tn psychological field change thei opinions frequently.
 A sense of fairness, feeling o having to share work and respon sibility and lots of fun in the hom will do wonders with almost an. child. He needs problems of hi own to overcome. He will learn , lot from example and still nor from experience.

Persistent fatigue is characteristic complaint of the victims. Nostrums containing acetanilide should be obtainable on prescription only, and the prescription should not be re. fillable.

 Answer-Perhaps the doctor sug- gested that for some other condition you have. It cannot help the pros. tatic obstruction. Possibly X-ray treatments would give some relief. Generally the wisest course is to have a transurethral prostatlc resec- ton done, and for this you should consult a urologist skilled in this modern method which requires no external wound. have a mono- graph on "Prostatic Obstruction" which you may find helpful-ask for copy and enclose three-cent stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress.
