PATTERN 1877
RIJFFLES FEATURED
ON DAINTY DRESS

A demure "littie-lady" look lends
charm to this Claire Tilden Srock,
Pattern 1877. It's tiny-waisted, slim
hipped, broad-shouldered silhouette
Is strictly 1910; yet II has Q certain
piquant from-grandma' s-day appeal.
Perhaps that delightful ruffling
does the tr1ckl See what Q frothy,
cool effect It has as II gracefully
frames the sleevelettes OF the soft
bodice. The small view shows you
that the ruffling Is very easy to
stitch, too. The rest Of the frock Is
Just as simple to make, under the
Sewing Guides concise directions.
The sleevelettes are cut In one piece
with the bodice. There's one panel
In the back skirt and two In front
that rise to o high point, holding
gathered fullness above. Have q
front-tying, all-around sash, or let
sash come from the sides OF the
front panels TO tie smartly In back.
Here's q gay suggestion: why not
make the entire bodice, ruffling and
all, In o fresh, lovely contrast to
harmonic with the skirt?
Pattern 1877 Is cut In misses and
women's sizes -, IA, 10, 10, 20, 80,

New York-There are undoubtedly
countless mothers In communities all
over the country who are regretfully
totaling budgets and deciding sadly
that Sue and Junior cannot 60 to
camp this year.
Do not think that you are de-
priving your child Of a happy sum-
mer II you cannot send him to
camp. It Is true that change OF
environment Is greatly to be de-
sired, but you can have camp right
In your own backyard.
COOPERATION
is IMPORTANT
Any mother with intelligence and
ingenuity can organize o summer
backyard camp with her neighbors,
and she will be solving the problem
of what to do with foot-loose chill
dren who will get into mischief dur
ing the summer.
The first thing TO do Is to enlist
the aid Of q group Of mothers with
boys and girls about the same age
level. Plan to have various types Of
activities In back yards and cellars
Of neighboring homes. The most Inn
portant thing to bear In mind Is that
play must be along natural lines.

RATIONAL TREATMENT OF
JOINT DISABILITY

Can't call It rheumatism, because
that term has no meaning today.
Nor can we call II arthritis, for that
implies Inflammation Of the joint,
with the classical riibor, calor, dolor
ct tumor (redness, heat, pain and
swelling, by which one recognizes
Inflammation, and In the great ma
jority Of cases there Is no infianma-
ton, but only nutritional change, first
hypertrophy or overgrowth In the
tissues involved, and later atrophy
or shrinkage and wasting OF the
tissues involved, associated with Inn
pairment Of function, In the all too
familiar complaint variously desig-
mated chronic rheumatism, chronic
arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, arth-
ritis deformans, osteo arthritis. It
would be sufficient, In the present
state of our knowledge, to call such
Joint disability merely arthroisis-a
nifty name, don't you think, for joint
trouble?
Very, well, then arthrosis, as we
agreed In the last talk on the sub
ject, is rather q degeneration or Q
nutritional deterioration Of the It's
sues in an about the joint or joints
involved, and If any inflammatory
episodes occur at all they are in
cidental and not the cause Of the
trouble. Remember we are discuss
ing chronic Joint disability, not the
severe and dangerous acute illness
variously called inflammatory rheu-
matism, acute infectious arthritis,
rheumatic fever. Nor have we for
gotten about simple chronic in
fictitious arthritis caused by neg
lected or undiscovered septic foci
(focal infection).
In chronic infectious arthritis (the
adjective infectious means merely
that germs invading the tissues are
the cause )there are usually infiam-
matory signs apparent from time
to time, but impairment Of function
and, II the septic focus is not
promptly found and cleaned up,
eventual degeneration or nutritional
deterioration In the Joint, are the
important manifestation OF this
type Of arthritis.
OF course the time to cure chronic
Infectious arthritis Is before such
nutritional deterioration has oc-
Cured. This Is not tantamount to
urging radical removal OF suspected
teeth, tonsils and the like. Rather
I would say to the patient complaint
ing Of vague joint disability: Select
a good doctor, one in whom you can
place confidence, and leave 1t to your
doctor to decide whether or how to
deal with any such presumptive focus
of infection he may find In your
body. But don't procrastinate, and
don't fritter away precious time and
money on nostrums purporting to
be good for rheumatism.
, TO all victims Of joint disability
or gradual or insidious development
I would give this warning: You may
guage the progress Of the malady
by the deree Of impairment OF
function in the joint or joints af-
feoted, and you must acknowledge
that degenerative changes In the
tissues Of or around the joint ad-
vance q bit With every lessenino
Of function or use.
