WOMAN'’S PAGE Draped Turban Now Seeks Favor BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. When the IFrench milliners de- vised the small cloche they were al- most too successful in pleasing their customers. Hundreds, then thou- sands, and finally millions, of women the world over took to wearing the oloche. It would be a pretty prob- | well- / | ‘ea " i | RUSSIAN HELMET COPIED FROM | OLD PRINT. | lem in approximate figuring to com- | pute the number of small cloches | that hav been worn by woraen | within the last twelve month: Al have been worn from G 3 Working Girl in Love Wit Second Wit mountains to India's coral strand; by grandmothers and thelr own granddaughters, by the parson's wite and the frivolous, jasz-mad flapper whom the parson denounces, Nothing like the cloche had ev been devised by milliners and they feared for a time that they had de- vised it to thelr own undolng. They had made = hat that so exactly pleased women that they didn't seem to care about other sort. Gradually, however, women became dizsatisficd ' with the sameness of thelr own appearance. Smart though the plain cloche was, and still re- mains, it lacks somewhat the means of Individual expression. To say that it is out of fasafon would cer- tainly be a mistake, But wherever ressed women are assembled in daytime apparel you will see fewer cloche this month than last, this week than a week ago. Wha? has come to take its place The turben s much as anvihin —or rather the hat' with turban drapery. Certanly no large hat seems to have been able successfully to usurp the sway of the cloche, There are also smail shapes with an upturned cuff at front, littie hats of Napoleonic suggestic But_the turban in some guise seems to have taken the fancy of the most cleverly aressed young women.

(Copyright, 1023.) HEALTH HINTS By Bernarr MacFadden. When we speak of a straight spine, we do not use the word “straight” in the same sense in which we ap- ply it to a stick. The “straight” spine is one that gives the body an erect carriage. There are certain normal curves in the perfect human spine which are incidental to- the vertical position assumed by man, and which are also valuable as a means of relieving the head from the jar, or shock, which would otherwise be ‘experienced in walking, running or jumping. In other words, the slight curves of a healthy spine help to give it spring. The human backbone consists of a series of twenty-four peculiarly constructed bony structures ar- ranged in a column in such as to provide a canal for the cord. ‘These twenty-four bone: vertebrae, are separated from each other by a series of plates or rings of clastic and compressible material known as cartilage. It is the presence of these elastic plates of cartilage between the verte- Koo Swhich gives the backbone as & whole its flexibility. ‘Each of the vertebras is plerced with an opening through which the xpinal cord passes. branching off from the cord is a serles of so-called spinal nerves, each consisting of a bLundle of nerve fibers. The spinal nerves emerge from the cord through small openings provided between the vertebrae, It will be seen that if these verte- ‘brae are misplaced, or out of line, these openings may be more or less closed up, and so the spinal nerves may be pinched and their capaclty for carrying impuises or impressions impaired. In the same way, if the artilage cushions between the vert: rae become flattened or hardened,: openings throukh which the spinal nerves emerge must occur, and at the same time the flexibility of the spine will be im- raired. ‘This necessarily means im- paired functioning, poor health and a rapld development of those bodily conditions which we find in extreme age. Another factor in the mainten- ance of a normal and beautiful spine is the condition of the muscles and ligaments along the course of the backbone and of the back generally. If these ligaments are relaxed and stretched they do not hold the spinal vertebrae in their proper relation to each other, and misplacements are likely to occur. Hence the necessity o xercise. ‘Cream of Raisin Soup. Put through the meat chopper one cupful of seeded raisins and cook in a quart of chicken stock for twenty minutes. Thicken with six table- spoonfuls of flour blended to a paste with one-fourth cupful of softened butter and season with one teaspoon- ful and one-half of salt and three. fourths teaspoonful of pepper. Add one pint of thin cream mixed with the beaten yolk of one egg. Stir un- til hot through, then serve with a garnish of the stifly beaten white, flavored with two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice. 3 Sweet Potato Pompom. Bake three or four sweet potatoes. Remove the peelings and mix in half a cupful of raisins, six marshmal- lows finely cut, half & cupful of milk, three-fourths cupful of sugar, and as much butter as desired.

T include med and embroidered linens dresser scarfs, sideboard covers, ta- blecloths, ¢ es for handkerchiefs and other toilet accessories, tray cloths, doilies. luncheon set nese bungalow sets, and the like Nearly all of these are made in foreign countries. Some of the very best goods come from Great Britain The cheapest articles of this nature were originally made in Germany. Belgium, Switzerland, France or Japan. Labor is very cheap in Japan, S0 that country cially sends us great qautities of art goods which sell over here at a very reasonable price. While these linens come from so many different countries, nevertheless you will find that they are almost entirely worked upon Irish-made linens Japanese bungalow sets are made of a very soft cotton. These ma- terials are printed in most attractive designs. The embroidery on a great deal of the fancy linens is done my machin- ery. ‘This is much less expensive than that done by hand, while that done on the Swiss embroidery ma- chines is almost equal to handwork in the beauty and perfection of its execution. ~ You can tell handmade embroidery, because it always pre- sents the same appearance on both sides. You can also buy “hand-fin- ished embroidery,” that which is ma- chine-made, but the edges of which are finished by hand. This is some- what less expensiv Madeira embroidery, that exquisite work which puzzles so many shop- pers, because they do not see how it possibly be handmade and sell as cheaply as it does, is actually executed one beautiful stitch upon another by women and girls in the Madeira Islands. They do this work for the foreign exporiers for an in- significant wage, and that is why we are able to have this handsome work in our homes. The patterns are usu- ally in one conrer of the cloth, and the edge scalloped. Sometimes, however, in the cheaper grades, the edge Is put on by machine.
