THIS FALL fashion designers
are talking a lot about the lone
color" look. This means everything
should be the same color - hat,
dress, handbag, gloves, shoes -
even stockings.
To stocking manufactures, who
have been trying for years to find
a way to persuade women to buy a
wardrobe of stockings, this is
great news.
Further to-do about shorter skirts
pleases the hosiery makers even
more. If women are going to be
showing more leg, and if the leg
must match the dress, the newt
able result is that women are going
to be buying a lot more stockings.
So this fall you'll be seeing ny
Ions in every color of the rainbow.
For daytime wear the cOlors are
discreet, giving just a hint of tint
On the leg. But for cocktail and
evening wear, brilliant jewel-tOned
stockings are going to be all over
the place - with shoes to match.
Colors available as present include:
ruby, sapphire, emerald, amethyst,
garnet and topaz. And there are
even iridescent stockings in pastel
1r deep toned changeable colOrs.
Most popular for daytime wear
will be the fur colors, to match the
important fur accessories of the
season. The tones, in soft beiges,
browns and taupes, have fur
names: golden sable, honey sable,
red fox, nutria, mink, black mink
and for an iridescent stocking
= leopard.

Madam
Are You Out
OF Order
By Herb Thomson

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Up The
Ladies Auxiliary of the Sheriff's
Mounted Posse in a Western state
was in parliamentary dither.
1t was electing new officers and
couldn't decide whether the pass
ing out" officers had the right to
vote in the secret ballot to choose
their successors.
Not finding an immediate answer
in Roberts Rules of Order, one of
the members wrote TO the leading
authority on the book, Mrs Henry
M. Robert Jr., of Annapolis.
We've had quite a debate -
she said. please advise us clear"
The trustee of Roberts Rules
stated the principle of parliament
airy law that an elected officer has
the same voting rights as other
members of the organization and
received a reply she still treasures
THE questions were answered so
clear that am sure it will be
Milford chronicle., 1957-09-13

sufficient to clear up a few minds
that have been thinking wrong, the
woman wrote.
Sara Corbin Robert uses the corr
espondence to illustrate the uni
versal appeal Roberts Rules of Or
der has enjoyed since it was pub
lished by her father-inlaw, an Army
officer, 81 years ago.
Since the death of her husband in
1897, Mrs. Robert has had sole
charge of keeping the book up to
date and answering queries con-
cernilg it.
The pocket-sized book on par
liamentary procedure, written as
a reference book for the orderly
conduct Of organizationaI and pub
lie meetings, has sold close to two
million copies since it was pub
lished in 1876. 1t stays on the list
of hidden" best sellers with an an
nual sales volume of more than
10000 copies.
Serving as it's trustee is only
a part-time activity for Mrs. Robert,
who is a professional parliament
tartan. She is adviser on parliamen-
tary matters to five national or
ganizations and one state group
and assists numerous others from
time to time She also travels, lee
lures and teaches classes in parlia-
mentary law.
Roberts Rules, standard refer
ence book on parliamentary pro-
cedure, was written and published
in 1876 by 1t. Henry M. Robert, a
26-year-old West Point graduate.
Robert. who retired in 1901 as
a brigadier general and chief of
the Army Engineers, followed his
book through nearly so years. He
kept in close touch with organiza-
tions which used it and revised it
completely in 1915. On his death in
1923, his son. Henry. Jr.. profess
sor at the u. S. Naval Academy
here and himself an expert on
parliamentary law, became trustee
of the book. He died IA years later.
Mrs. Robert has been trustee of
the book for the last 20 years.

Auto accidents, tripping over

premature labor although OBJ
stetricianS are having a rough
time convincing many expectant
mothers of this.
This a field in which modern
medical researchers are striving
to overcome innumerable gen.
erations of "old wives" tales
which seem to linger almost
instinctively in the depths OF
the female mind.
DR.. Arthur T. Hertig. profess

the International Academy Of

careful examination of the fetu:
and its membranes almost al
ways shows that something wa:

before the accident.
A recent study made by DR.

that only one case out of every

sibly be even related to trauma.

own problems with aging anC
disease. Until recent years mos
pathologists have not usually
examined the placenta infinitely
after a miscarriage. Often II
has not been sent to them with
the fetus. Many miscarriages
therefore. have been falsely at
tributed to them.
Most miscarriages occur dur
ing the first three months Of
pregnancy. In a sense. this Is
seen as natures way of cleans
ing the mother of a poor con-
ception.
Were it not for the miscar-
riage, the child might, in many
instances, be abnormal.
Some Psychologists feel that
abnormalities or diseases Of the
placenta are more likely to be
found in the case Of miscar-
riages toward the end of preg-
nancy. With the ever-increasing
amounts of new knowledge, they
feel conditions leading to injury
or disease of the placenta may
some day be correctable. Or,
therapeutic measures may be
taken so that the next pregnancy
will be normal.
DR.. Hertig's message is SIM
Pile: when you can demonstrate
that THE egg or placenta was
abnormal before an accident, the
trauma is incidental"
In practically all cases this
could be demonstrated. The
woman who has a miscarriage
nearly always searches her men,
