BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE, One must quote news from Paris more than twice a year, for news happens there more frequently than at these stated intervals. Our manu- facturers have returned from their late autumn trip to France, bringing back with them a mass of new ideas for the ceming season. These they have modified according to the needs of the American. This work is essen- tial, for it is rare that we can wear Paris clothes as they are. | The one thing upon which they lay emphasis is the short cape and its constant appearance on the str et and for the functions of society 1 at #re held indoors. 1s it warm? is the first American question. No, I the anwer by those who live in bitter climates.” But one must not ask this question, for the garment is not in- tended to take the place of a fur coat | or long wrap. It is merely a graceful | way of covering a thin blouse. Wear the fur coat over it, if you have one. I not, wear whatever you possess for { the icy outside air. The spring_is coming more quickly in the minds of those who make clothes, you know, than in the cal- { endar or the minds of women who have just succeeded in completing their winter wardrobe; and it is for the first mild weather that thesc capes are offered, meanwhile putting in_ their preliminary trial at the southern resorts. On the street, in Paris, and now in New York, women have begun to wear woolen frocks with swinging capes of the fabric. They have no armholes. The arms hold them in place with whatever gesture of romance or banditry one can achieve. The fabric chosen is not one of plain color, but of checks or stripes or the heather mixtures that i prevail for smart outdoor clothes. | Taking this idea for more formal { clothes, the dressmakers in Paris have | i inaugurated the short velvet cape to g0 with. velvet gowns. Doucet did this in September with a notable black velvet gown, but the fashion , has become prevalent instead of in- | dividual. | “The cape is circular, after the man- ! ner of the new evening capes which | have superseded the tightly drawn | cape with the narrow hem that has | been sold in quantities at the clear- { ing-out sales at the big dressmakers. | But this cape for the daytime is much which must touch the knees if it is to do its full duty; this one barely reaches to the hips. Some models can be closed in front when need arises, but the majority hang far apart in front. The sketch shows the kind that we are adopting from France. It is of black velvet to match the frock; the latter is managed in the old yet ever \ GOWN OF BLACK VELVET SHOW- ING THE ACCEPTED CIRCULAR CAPE WHICH REPLACES AJACK- ET.

The blouse is broad and full, of cream colored crepe, trim- med with rows of mother-of-pearl. the type of trimming of which the fashion world is full.

To some of us vinegar means_but one thing. It is some- thing that we order from the grocery store, that we add to mayonnaise or French dressing, and serve in a vinegar cruet on the table for those who like it with spinach, cabbage, corn beef or other dishes. But there is an enormous variety | in vinegar.

Re- member, you're always just as funny yourself as the fellow you're grinning at—so when you start to grin make it go double if you wish results. Al grin isn’t simply a distortion of thej facial muscles. It's the outward indication of an inward state of mind, it's the flag of tremendous victory over yourseif.' It doesn’t do just to broaden your mouth. You must first ;yrgaden your soul. And that's some ob! Your fighting grin means that the other fellow isn’t getting your goat and that you've no desire fo get his, beyond defending yourself. That calls for the tolerance and philosophy of a god. It means that you understand his mood and can conquer it, because you have felt the same mood and have conquered it in your self. And that calls for the wisdom and strength of two gods and at least half a dozen saints. There's nothing weak about a real grin. It's neither silly nor sentimen- tal nor cowardly.

But we are not as apt to reach this state of mind if we plan our meals so that we get as much variety into one week as possible. In many homes the shell sea foods are hardly ever indulg=d in—and this is a great mistake. Try some of the following oyster recipes: Escalloped Oysters with Celery.— \! low two dozen oysters to serve .our persons and one large cup of finely chopped celery. Parboil the celery_in salted water for twenty minutes, then drain. Drain the oysters also and place them in a buttered baking dish, alter- nating layers of oysters, celery and crushed cracker crumbs. Season every of butter, and when the oysters and celery are used pour three-quarters of a cup of the oysters' liquor, mixed with one-quarter cup of cream. over all Have the top layer of cracker crambs dotted with butter.

Monkeys may be given the disease by inoculation with virus or material taken from a case of the disease, and the virus has been transmitted from one money to another by the bite of the stable fly. Now, I'd rather have a son or a daughter .than a monkey. There are people in the world who think other- e And thace Eo0d folicswis Dretty | eloquent and tear off impagsioned | emotional speeches and articles for the papers on the horrible cruelties inflicted on monkeys bv the brutal doctors who are experimenting on monkeys and other anunals in vrder to find out how to help your son and my daughter recover from such trifles ag infantile paralysis—or how to es- cape the disease altogether. We cer- tainly ought to punish these heartless doctors who do things llke that. What's a noisy, -troublesome child col with a cunning pomeranian or a dear little guinea pig, pray? ‘There would be no of even knowing that poliomyelitis is com- municable from person to ‘person were it not for experiments upon monkeys. To be sure it is a little tough on the monkeys, especially when they are left with considerable residual paralysis, but at the same time few of us would care to have our most uninteresting children used for such experiments. The virus of infantile paralysis may be carried for months in dis- eaged tonslls. This is no argument against the removal of infected ton. &ils from infants or very young chil- dren. There is no argument against the removal of tonsils that are in- fected or diseased, no matter how young the child. Imagine what a menace a child or adult would be in .the community if he harbored in the throat the virus of such a disease! And a “carrier” may harbor the viru: of the disease without himself ha ing had the disease, just as in diph- theria; contact with the patient may flo{ne suffice to produce the ‘“carrier” ate. ; Although it has been imagined that the virus of infantile paralysis in- vaded the body by way of the dige: tive tract, that is unlikely and unim- portant. The usual portal of entry is the nose and throat. Poliomyelitis is a respiratory infection, just as is diphtheria, measles or smallpox. It cannot be contracted by ordinary contact with the patient. For infec- tion to occur it is necessary for some secretion or discharge from nose or throat of the patient to enter the nose or throat. of the next victim.

Keep outside the five- foot barrage and you won't catch any of these diseases unless the patient sneezes or coughs upon you or to- ward you with his nose and uncovered: in that case he may “get you with & virulent dose of infectio as far as 10 feet away. There's dan- ger in talking across a counter or a desk or a street car aisle with any- body who has an alleged “cold,” for heaven only knows what such a menace he really has in his head—it takes time to find out.
