Shorter Skirts And Hints of Bustles
 Highlight Paris Spring Openings
ACCEN TED
 AS ESCAPE
BY ROsETTE HARGROvE NEA Service Staff Corresponden

NEA Service Staff Correspondent Paris-In world full of threats of war and general feeling of un- rest, the spring collections of the Paris couturiers are a bright and shining spot. Never have clothes been more exciting, more youthful or more flatteringly feminine. One of the outstanding surprises of the openings was Schiaparel- lis abandonment of fashion de- tails which were her special pets. The famous squared shoulders are now definitely sloped. Her once pain jackets blossom with large pockets. Coattails in this collection are exaggerated, and there Is a sug- gestion of a hustle in many 8 day time skirt. On evening gowns, bustles become an actuality, rather than 8 suggestion. She uses fewer gadgets and extreme trimmings. Spectacular Is black sheath eve- ming gown with swirt split to reveal one leg swathed in multi-colored chiffon ribbons.
 Short, full skirts are the big news of the hour. The ballerina silhouette is prevalent throughout all the collections, with many daytime skirts unbelievably full, and equally unbelievably short. Sometimes they barely cover the knees. Sometimes as much as a full bolt of material is used to fashion one skirt. The fuller the skirt the shorter, of course with IS inches from the floor an &C., cepted length.
 For conservatives, there are plenty of daytime skirts that are moderately full. However, almost nothing is longer than 15 inches from the floor. Between IS and 18, depending on the shape of your legs, is the general rule.
 The desire to forget all talk of war is evidenced in poetic, bil- lowing evening gowns. And these contrast strikingly with sophisti- cated, streamlined, siren like sheaths.
 Fluttering chiffons, laces and sheers in springtime mood rub shoulders with handsome yarn- dyed stuff silks.
 Evening gowns are rich and colorful. Many are reminiscent of the gowns worn at the court of Louis XIV. Mid Victorian and turn of the century" influences are noted, too. And the Colonial influence is stronger than was ex- pected.
 Crinolines still are featured. The ajority are over taffeta petticoats with fullness below the knees in the Second Empire manner. Newest, however, is the pannier skirt with tremendous fullness at hemline.
 Evening bodices are brief, of- ten lightly boned, with off-shoulder decolletages or soft fichu lines and sometimes yelled, Strapless bodices still are headlined. Diagonal decol- letages are news. Brief boleros and amusing, frilly hooded shoulder capes are shown with many eve- ming creations.
 There's a prevalent note of fem ininity in play togs.
 In addition to the full-skirted suits with basque jackets, there are quantities of simple, moder- ately full skirts with hip-length tailored jackets with center fasten- ings.
 Biouses have a more important place in the fashion picture than

 Unless your posture is perfect, you cannot expect spring clothes to be as attractive on you as they appear to be on the stores model or even on a hanger. If there is an exag- perated hollow in the center of your backbone, if your chest curves in or if you carry your head forward so that your chin always arrives pe- fore your body, better begin cor- recting the defect right now.
 Here is an exercise which, if re- peated five times about three days a week, will give your figure the de- sirable high-chested look
 Stand about ten inches away from a flat wall. Now lean back ward until the center of your back bone touches the wall. Gradually straighten up, trying to make all Of your backbone except three or four vertebrae at the base of the spine touch the flat surface. Base of spine should be tilted up and forward away from the wall.
 At first you won't De able 10 make the center and top of your back bone touch the wall at the same time. But keep on trying until this is possible. When back of neck as well as center of spine are in a fair ly straight line. your stomach will be pulled up and in, and your chest will be high and up. Shoulders should be square but not held back stiffly.
 When you walk away from the wall, try to maintain the position your body was in while you were standing against 1t.
 When you sit, place hips and center of spine against the back of the chair. Shoulders need not touch the back of 1t, but center of spinal column must.

gin or near the margin of the cornea or clear window of the eye in front of the iris or color ring. It is due to either deposit of fatty granules there (fatty infiltration) or conversion of substance of nor- mai tissue cells into fat (fatty de- generation). Arcus Juvenile is cres- cent of gray pigment, the normal coloring matter of the iris, some- times seen near the margin of the cornea in a young person.
 Pathologists formerly attempted to distinguish fatty infiltra.ion from fatty degeneration, whether in the heart, other muscular or- gans or the body generally. Their confusion was probably due to the common occurrence of overweight or obseity for ten years or more preceding the avowed aorganic dis ease. But with increasing knowl- edge of nutrition 1t becomes more and more evident that the essen- tial process is one of degeneration from the beginning, not mere de- or the other tissue, but conversation or the other tissue, nutconversioi of the protoplasm, the substance of the cells of the tissue into fat.

Of Interest To Women

Have you household problem to solve? Write your question clearly, sign your name and ad. dress, enclose . three-cent post. age stamp and mail to The W O m n s Editor, Washington Service Bureau, The Democrat. 1913 18th Street, Washington, D. C., for . personal reply.
 c. At what ages do boys and girls stop growing?
 A. Girls grow more slowly after 14 years and usually stop growing entirely by the time they are 20. Boys continue to grow until they are 22 or even g years of age, but their rate of growth is slower after the fifteenth or sixteenth year.
 c. Should breast fed baby be put to both breasts during a feed- ing?
 A. Enptying the breast com pletely by regular nursing helps to produce milk. For this reason, If the milk Is not plentiful, 1t Is advisable to give only one breast at a feeding, so that the baby will empty it com pletely, and to give the other breast at the next feeding. If the milk is not sufficiently plentiful, both breasts may need to be given to sat- isfy the baby, but one breast should be emptied before the other is giv- en. If the baby does not empty the breast, emptying 1t by hand or with a pump helps to maintain the sup ply of milk.

Can you tell me whatsto do for an obstinate soreness and swelling of the lip, with cracks at the corners that do not heal? I have had 1t for nearly a year and my general health seems to be showing the ef- feet. (Mrs. 0. R)
 Answer--The cause of an obsti- nate chronic inflammation of the lip with such cracks as you describe Is insufficient intake of riboflavir, otherwise known as vitamia c, or vitamin B2. Up your intake of this factor of the vitainin B complex by eating every day three or four oiirc- es of wheat germ--which may be taken mixed half and half with any cereal you like. or with fruit or fruit juice, or incorporated in place of one-half the flour in any recipe.
