The comforting thought is given us by those who study the history of fashion that it Is not necessary to lace the corsets in order to adopt a tight bodice. The reason this statement allays anxiety is that the tight bodice 1s jslowly infiltrating through to the front lines of fashion. It is a rec- ognized garment in Paris; it may be- come a feature of fashion over here in October. The semi-annual ex- hibitions of clothes held in Paris in August will decide that vexed question. The American buyers will be there, as well as the rest of us who follow the flag of fashion wher- ever it is rafsed. This tight bodice is sald not to re- quire a small waist line, because it is to be worn after the manner af Queen Elizibeth and her ladies; the ice passes over the waist line proper and runs to a boned point which promotes the appearance of a small waist without demanding it. Whatever the amelioration of this bodice when it comes to be worn by the American woman the truth is that it does change the contour of the fig- ure. It is not a compromise. It is & revolution. It destroys the straight line from shoulder to heel, it in- creases the size of the hips, it short- ens the line under the arms and de- mands a flattened abdomen. The pub- lic has been dressing in' a manner entirely different from this. It has made a fetish of a contour that was exactly opposite. The acceptance of this tight bodice with its elongated point in front means the overthrow of all that has governed our clothes for two decades. The sketch shows a dinner gown worn in Paris. It was well observed by Americans who are in that city for the purpose of gathering ideas to exploit in this country. The tight underskirt, the shapely bodice bor- rowed from another spoch, are of black satin. The full skirt with its several points is of thin white crepe and the rosettes which Paris insists upon are of white lace with centers of black taffeta. The full skirt is accepted. There is no longer any argument on that question. It is placed over a tight foundation which seems to steady it and create a link between what was and what is to be. The fashion of cutting the full overskirt into points is more acceptable to America than placing several wide flounces about the skirt in even lines. The former fashion is mot new. Young women have accepted it in dance frocks for several years, but it has gained new importance by using the fullness over a tight skirt in another color or fabric, then mounting a tight bodice above it. As far as the fashion has gone the Don’t Let This Anhedonia Get You. incapacity to take pleasure in being We are now harping particu- larly on splanchinic anhedonia.

Dr. Reed says that when the usual clinical history has been taken the patient should be “stripped and a physical inventory carefully made, front and back, from head to foot, standing and lying. Spe- cial search should be made for possi- ble foci of infection not only as pri- mary but as ancillary factors in the case. The abdomen should be gone over, first with the patient on his back, next with him erect ‘Then all cases, especially in the present status of the whole question, should be given an X-ray study...... il This isolated quotation from Dr. Reed’s essay conveys a good deal which I shall consider at length in further talks on the subject. “With the patient lying on his back, these notes (that is, the sounds the physician elicits on percussion of the abdomen to outline the situation of the various viscera) will be found ap- proxinlfllely in their normal positions other words, posture is an im- portant factor in_ the causation and relief of displaced viscera.

You will be surprised, if you are a house- keeper, to seec just how much easier you can make the housework by buy- ing a few things for the Kkitchen.

For this they should not be scraped, but six incisions should be made from the tip end of the root, through the skin, three-quarters of the way up the radish. The knife should then be passed close under the sections of the kin as far as these incisions go. The radishes are placed in cold water and the sections of skin fold back of their own accord. A little chopped radish, with its red and white, served very fresh on a salad gives a very pretty effect and a delicious flavor, and one gets 30 little radish actually that one is less likely it indigestible. One reason why people find radishes indigestible is that they do not chew them thor- oughly. Thus chopped radishes are less indigestible than the whole ones. (Copyright, 1921.) Maple Nut Mousse.
