WOMAN’S PAGE. Blouses Which Give Gay Color BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. e Several things are interesting In mew fashions. One is the fact that exclusive designers give their atten- tion to clothes of printed fabrics de- spite the fact that conservatives cry loudly for something piain, something solid of unbroken surface. Another interesting fact is that the insistence of the French collec- tions upon suggestions gotten from their colonial = possessions—Tunis,, Morocco, Madagascar and Cochin- China—brings red into prominence even though the summer promises to be hot, if the reports from South America are a guide to us. The read- ing of their temperatures does not make one feel inclined to buy a hat, parasol or kid shoes of red, for what the sun did down there it may do here. Nevertheless, red is here as a fash- fon. Not always in frocks or blouses, but in bone buttons, brald, bindings, pipings. Still ‘another interesting fact in fashion is the prodigality dressmak- ers show in using bands and bindings of self-material or in an opposing color. They do all these things better on blouses than frocks. At least, there is less danger of destruction of the individual's appearance in the small- er garment. A woman, knowing this, will risk these new colonial French ideas in a blouse and hesitate to in- corporate them in a gown. The sketch shows a blouse intend- ed to give gay color to a white flan- nel suit which usually needs enljv- ening. It is of red and white Chinese printed silk, the design imitative of e Chinese’ alphabet. Its edges are bound with red braid and there are ved buttons at neck opening and on sleeves. These short sleeves are care- lessly cut, by the way. They remind ©ne of the helmet of a knight in a tournament for the opening across the top of arm is shaped exactly like the Jisored opening that shows the Y.uight's eyes to his friends. The hat Ahat goes with the blouse is of red #nd white ribbon and straw with the iuevitable bow at the back. "here is no indication that Chinese rics and designs will fall by the vside because of the popularity of “gypt. France is the spirited clothes designer of the world and her gov- ernment insists upon propaganda of Jier colonial possessions through fab- rics and women's apparel. Cochin- China is nearly akin to China and therefore we continue all that mass BEDTIME STORIES The Greatest Surprise of All. Love is faithfy Nor counts the come what may, Cost it bas to pay. . Mrs. Hooty. Farmer Brown's Boy got out of bed very early. He usually does get out of bed early, but this morning he was earlier than usual. In fact, the last of the twinkling stars had not yet vanithed in the sky. What was he getting up so carly for? Guess. Just suess. Tle was getting up so early for just one thing, and that was to see if there would be anything on the 1op of the pen he had made for the 2 ALMED BROWN'S BOY. “THAT GREAT HORNED OWL."

Daylight was beginning to drive out the Black Shadows everywhere. Far- mer Brown's Boy hurried over to the wire pen beside the henhouse. Of course he had his eves fixed on the top of it. Surc enough, there lay something dark. just as had been the se for several mornings past. He wondered if it would be a Rat or a Rabbit or a Squirrel or some other of the little people. He was so intent on this that he forgot to look around. As he drew near the pen he happened to glance | up at the top of the henhouse. There on the peak sat a big bird. At first he didn’t recognize it as a bird. You see it sat perfectly still. But as he Grew near it suddenly spread great wings and, as silently as the Black Shadows which were slipping away before the Jolly Little Sunbeams of the early morning flew away and dis- appeared toward the Green Forest. n Owl exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy. “That was a Great Horned Owl! It must have been either Hooty or Mrs. Hooty! By the size 1 suspect it was Mrs. Hooty. Now what was she doing over here® it is a wonder that she didn't see that thing, whatever it is. down there on the top of the pen and fly away with . And right then a great light flooded the mind of Farmer Brown's Boy. It was the light of understanding. “She brought that!” he cried exclted- ly. “It is a Grouse and she brought it! She brought it for that little Owl T have shut up in the henhouse. Of course! Why didn't T think of that before? She bhrought all those other things. Somehow she found out that that baby of hers is kept in this pen, though how she did it I don't know., She has simply been bringing food to him and leaving it there for him every night, or else very early every morning. s, sir, that is just what has been going on. She has been looking after her baby or trying to. even if he is a prisoner. I wouldn't have believed it if anybody had told me. But having seen her here I know it is true. Sho gave me a lot of surprises, but this Is the biggest sur- prise of all.” (Copyright, 1923, by T. W. Burgess.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D, Noted Physician and Author. Seeing Little Things. Germs are as properly referred to as little “bugs” as they are as little plants. Perhaps they multiply rather more rapidly than guinea plgs or mosquitoes or mites and lack the means or facilities for travel which these higher classes enjoy, vet, nevertheless, it Is my judgment as a Dotanist that germs are as rightly called animals as plants. Not that it makes any difference what we call them. Little they care. All they ask of us Is that we shall at- tend to their transportation; that we do with a degree of efficiency which must be gratifying to the microbes. We fetch and carry them everywhere ~—if & man were endowed with ultra microscopic vision he would probably tuccumb to a bad attack of delirtum tremens from gazing upon the hordes of prodigious cocci, bacilli, spiro- chetes and other hideous monsters he would encounter everywhere. How- ever, the one great drawback about anicrobes as animals or bugs is that they can't crawl. A highly developed and terribly virulent diphtheria or pneumonia germ, for instance, can't budge the smallest fraction of an inch to get at a likely victim. Disease gergns are in the sad plight of being all dressed up ready to do thelr darndest and no place to go unless somebody kindly gives them a lift. They are utterly incapable of getting anywhere at all, save when conveyed to the spot by some agency. As a general rule it must be an ani- mate conveyor—man, animal or in- sect, which provides comfortable lodging en route, Inanimate things are not good car- viers of germs because they do not Jieep the germs warm and molst. It is good night for the average dis- case gorm when the temperature falls much below that of the human body or the environment goes dry. Things are poor germ conveyors be- cause travel on them is likely to ex- ose germs to light—diffused day- ight kills most disease germs in an hour and direct sunlight kills them 4n s few minutes. The man with the microscopioc eyes might even grow accustomed to being haunted by hordes of helpless but hideous monsters—the first million would be the worst—but could he yetain consciousness while watching the constant swapping of the mon- sters in diplets of spray given off when peoble cough, sneeze, talk or Jaugh with, at or upon one another? Could he preserve his sanity while ‘walching a hend covered with mon- sters just lodged there in a lick of salvia, transferring the dangerous freight to another hand, the hand of a friend mavhap? Even if hé could, it would scarcely be worth while, for the man would. surely begin to rave | at the inevitable appearance of a cock or waiter or other food handler garnishing the dish with typhoid bacilll, innocently and unwittingly, as typhoid carriers are wont to work. I often wonder what the cat drags into the parlor. I like cats, if not parlors, but a cat, to my way of thinking, is calculated to make a very competent germ carrler. Cats have, or take, such liberties and aro s0 neighborly and affectionate and too, but I know dogs carry disease germs, for I have taken a culture and found that the dog had diphtheria bacilli in his throat. Isolation or quarantine too often fails to restrain these potential carriers. No, this isn’t microbiophobia. It is Just hygiene. I'm gaing to tell you when I get to it, how to be resigned and happy although completely sur- rounded by germs. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Dope. Taking tabloid triple bromide off and on last four months. Kindly ad- vise if harmful.—Mrs, B. E. Answer—Such a drug should not be taken unless by the advice and under the . observation of your physician, because improperly used it is capable of doing much harm. Ginger Tea. Is a cup of ginger tea in_ the evening. after being in the cold all day, harmful? Some say it opens the pores and makes one more susceptible to catching cold—S. W. Answer—A hot drink, if desired, is !all right, but I would suggest lemonade, tea, coffee, cocoa, soup or hot water, rather than ginger. It has no effect on the pores, besides there are no pores; even if there were any and the ginger tex threw them wide open, there is no risk of contracting disease through them. All of the diseases jumbled together under the name of ‘“colds” are none of them enters through the skin, save perhaps in Chicago, Buffalo and Janesville, where the health authorities have fine old notions about such things.

VARIATIONS—O'Boyle, Boghill, Hill. RACIAL ORIGIN—Irish. SOURCE—A given name. These family names are anglicized forms of another of the Irish clan names, though, of course, the one variation, Hiil, hes an English origin which in the majority of cases ex- plains its existence. The Irish form of the name |is “O’Baoghail,” which isn’t half as hard to pronounce as it looks when it is considered that the “gh” in this case happens to be virtually silent, leaving the four vowels, “aoal” for pronuncia- tion as a diphthong. In short, the English spelling of Boyle represents the true pronunciation. The less frequent form, “Boghill,” has no connection whatever with the English words, “bog” and "hill.” It is simply an attempt to preserve the Irish spelling, and was arrived at merely by the elimination of “a” from the first syllable and “a” also from the second, with the addition of an- other final “I” simply from English habit. In turn there are cases on record where families bearing this name have arbitrarily shortened it still further to “Hill” in the effort to ob- scure its Irish origin. Changes of this nature occurred chiefly at times and places in Ireland when English law made it compulsory to drop the native names. The clan traces its origin to a chief- tain of the O'Donnells of Tyrconnell, whose given name was “Baoghal.” For the Full Figured.

And you don't grow any better either, gray as you are.” “I can‘t help it. You know when we were little we had to take sul- phur and molasses. Remember?

The seductive, sensuously beautiful lady was flashing her Spanish eyes in the direction of an overhanging and very romantic balcony, whereon stood a romantic and heavenly handsome young man.

Letter writing is a custom of civi- lized races. The more cultivated the individual, the more it is second na- ture with him to attend to his busi- ness and personal correspondence. With individuals as with races it i largely a matter of custom and habit. Some persons—you may know some such—boast that they do not write letters. Don't you wonder how they can get along without it? Some men who ‘avold this irksome duty merely shift the responsibility. Possibly they are so situated in business that they are not required to attend to any cor- respondence. Social and personal let- ters they leave to their wives or daughters or sisters. It is an interesting thing that the more important a man is the more particular he is to attend to seem- ingly unimportant correspondence. If he does not have time to attend to it himself he employes a secretary to do it for him. The distinguished writer sees that every letter address- ed to him concerning what he has written, whether it {s sympathetic or hostile, receives a courteous and suit- able answer. The poor or mediocre riter often throws such letters in his waste basket. 8 So the ineignificant politiclan is often delinquent about answering his letters. He worries about letters of unfriendly ecritics. He regards the answering of a dozen or so letters as an cnormous undrtaking. The really able politician looks upon let- ters from both friends and enemies as part of the day's work. He values them as an index of his popularity. Even unfavorable letters he looks upon as an opportunity to win ad- herents, because he knows that if he answers them courteously and with sympathy he has done much to make friends of enemies. “Just Hats” | ) Lotus the Latest Trim.
