What inspired the designers to do so wise a thing as to introduce these accessories when the cold winter was expected? Usual- ly, they do the contrary thing, the. capriciousness of wind and weather is their example. This season they have thrown into the first ranks of fashion the kind of neck covering that was once needed by our far-away predecessgrs as a means of protection, and thédelight- ful fact is that they did not wait un- til the hot summer was approaching to start the idea. We do notsexpect the rational act from those who de- sign our garmente. Sympathy comes, however, when we begin to realize th immensity of their work. They mus please, and please. Once they had great power, but the war has shorn them of much that was strong wh the world of pleasure had neit limitations nor restrictions. Whether or not we like them, ‘high collars are here for the winter. Usually they are of fur. Sometimes, but infrequently, they are a continu- ation of the frock. The sketch of one of the successful frocks by Premet shows this latter type. It is really the gorgette of the century illumined by the exploits of Jeanne d'Arc and the gown bears the name of the| heroine, Possibly the whole thing came about through the ceremonial at Blois by the American legion- naires with Marshal Foch and other great dignitari standing by while there was unveiled the statue of the saint-woman by an American woman. The French designers catch the stcaws of history and public senti- ent quickly and such an occasion is commemorated by a gown. This frock is of blue cloth trim- med with wide bands of black silk braid. The long tunic falling over a reasonably long skirt is an evi- dence of the fashion of this gar- ment, and its-pointed edges, Tonger in back than front, another fashion of the season—are run with fine gray braid. The cuffs are medieval; great. flaring affairs which could serve as excellent pockets in times of stress, or as one onlooker sald, “for a ham sandwich on a long hike.’ The main Interest lies in the shoul- der treatment, for here is where the Jeanne d’Arc touch comes in, There is a tight-fitting cape with braid and a high wrinkled collar, the whole making the gorgette which was worn by women of that day and generation and_which Mrs. Vernon Castle tried tg bring into fashion several years ago. gThere are other high collars. The gorgette does not end the experi- ment. The tailored suits are topped with pieces of fur that are wrapped about the neck for all the world like a bandage, sometimes unpleasantl, suggestive of the old treatment fo a sore throat. However, as these are dark fur and not white cloth. the resemblance énds in the shape. What- ever the kind of high collar, it is not one to increase the size of a double chin. It mounts well above suth a sign of self-indulgence. In fact. it hides two chins as well as one. For that alone, it may be gratefully re- ceive URN OF HIGH COLLARS “JEANNE D'ARC,” DESIGNED BY PREMET.

Somehow it seems that those who sorely need rest, such as persons with active tu- berculosis, splanchnoptosis, uncom- pensated valvular disease, hyperthy- roidisni. and the like, are keen about “gaining strength through exercise, and particularly fearful of the bogy o! “growing weak by remaining in bed. And curfously enough, those Wwko tsorely need properly regulated ex- ercise, such as persons with arrested heart disease, bay-windows, autoin- toxication, and moral anemia, prefer to take “a good blood tonic,” or mon- key with some kind of vibrator which purports to rub it in, or delude them- selves that driving a flivver is exer- cise. These people are all-of one class—sitters. - From seven to ten hours out of every twenty-four are or should be devoted to complete rest by every adult who desires to enjoy good health. But scarcery one-third of us know what complete rest means, for when we do go to bed at night, it is to spend a good share of the night twisting and turning in the vain en- deavor to find a restful position in a bed that doesn’t fit us. ‘Strange it is, how people with enough money'to buy good clothes and good food and every- thing, will skimp along, at what cost heaven only knows, for years and years, with a bed that makes night hideous, when a reasonable {nvest- ment in springs and mattresses would provide one that puts the come in welcome at bedtime, and the well, too.

It should mot form heavy deposit nor produce any large amount of the growth called mother of vinegar. It shouM be strained, pouted into jugs and corked. So long as air is excluded, continued fermentation cannot take place. Vinegar should not be made nor kept in tin nor any other metal, be- cause the acetle acld makés poison- ous compounds with copper, tin, iron and most ordinary metals. Earthen- ware, porcelain, glass and wood are suitable for storing vinegar. Vinegar has no food value, but give flavor “and palatability to, certai other foods, acts to some extent as a preservative, can be used in cooking and baking operations as a dilute acid solution fo liberate gas from soda, and is used in cleantng various metals. In this country cider vinegar is the most_commonly used, and it is to be hoped that the poorer, cheaper kinds of vinegar will never supplant it, for the flavor of good cider vinegar can- not well be exchanged for that of malt or white wine, The standard test of vinegar calls for not less than four grams of apple ash for each hundred cubic centrmeters, with cer- tain other characteristics, such as acldity and sugar and phosphoric acid content.

Unless you are aged or infirm offer to take what seems to be the least comfortable seat, but don't insist. Perhaps some- body else likes that seat best. me- times young women guests make an effort to take the front seat with the man member of the family who is driving the car, and sometimes they do this with the plea that they “don’t in the least mind riding in the front, attempting, no doubt, to convey the impression that the§ are self-sacrific- ing and unselfish in taking that seat. Usually their little ruse is quite trans- parent. If there are several women and only one man, the young woman of tact makes no move to monopolize the masculine soclety. ‘When on an overnight trip and you stay at a hotel, it is customary for the host or hostess to defray ex- penses unless some previous arrange- ment of another sort has been made. If you are your host's guest and you feel that you must make complaints about the robm or meals at the hotel. make them to the host or hostess who is paying the bills. It is distinctly rude when you are a guest to call the waiter and téll him that your chop is not well enough done or that you want a better cut of chicken. If you must kick, kick to the hostess, but don’t do that unless it is necessary. If the waiter has forgotten to give you butter or water. or if there is actually something wrong with the food, then make your complaint in as_quiet a manner as possible. Don't be, a nuisance by running about shopping. Always be on hand ready to start out when the car is ordered. Don't be lost in the little gift shop while thescar is honking impatiently outside. Make your luggage as. compact as possible. Ask beforehand just how much_you may be allowed to carry. and don’t exceed that. Don’t load down the car with bundles and boxes of mementos and gifts for fricnds at home. If you are asked to-give a prefe: ence—about whether you'd prefer a picnic luncheon or a hotel, or whether you l'ke a front or back room, or What you want for dinner—give an answer. .But don’t kick at whatever arrangements are made for you.
