WOMAN’S PAGE.’ Straight, Narrow Skirts for Suits BY MARY MARSHALL One might suppose that the fash- ionable and would-be fashionable women of today were all making ready for a sojourn in some tropical clime where spiders, scorpions, snakes and all sorts of fearsome crawling, creeping thirgs abound. That is, of course, unless one had become per- fectly accustomed to the prevalent fashion for iwearing flesh-colored stockings and the revival of the really short skirt. In Jamaica and other tropical spots there are women who, no matter what the fashion may be, have al- ways worn really short skirts and flesh-colored stockings. Skirts that trail or touch the ground accord the insect pests altogether too safe a harbor, and against flesh-colored stockings any intruder can be easily seen and cast off. Lord Frederic Hamilton tells an amusing story anent this custom in Jamaica. A ‘lady, long resident on the island, having lost her wardrobe in an earthquake, went to a shop in arch of replenishment. She asked the dusky native saleswoman for white or flesh-colored stockings. The saleswoman said she had no white stockings, but offered her some of flesh color—producing as she did so a palr of black stockings. The fashion for flesh-colored stock- ings was one that we adopted stra{ght from Paris. Sometimes fashions seein to come about almost spontaneously here and on the other side of the Atlantic—but this was not one of them. It was some time after the French women took to these nude or flesh-colored stockings before we could bring ourselves to follow the custom. And now we seem to be a little reticent about going back to the really short skirt. At any dis- play of French frocks newly imported Wwe Americans seem to make the same comment: “We knew skirts were short, but we didn't know they were as short as that” Still, of course, they have not quite reached the ex- tremes that they did when the very short skirt was a novelty seven or eight years ago. The flesh-colored stocking shows no sign of waning popularity. It is quite likely that it is to be an estab- lished convention with us for some vears to come. The wide variety in the tones of these “nude” stockings seems to make them especially at- tractive to women. The rose beige tint—that would be really a natural flesh tint for very, very few persons —is not as smart as it was when it was a novelty a few months ago. In France there is a_disposition to wear flesh stockings of quite a yellowish tint, so reports say. The sketch shows the short-skirted suit in smart version—worn with flesh-colored stockings and black pat- NARROW BLACK SATIN SKIRT WITH INVERTED PLEATS TO ALLOW ROOM FOR WALKING.

D., Noted Physician and Author. How to Put the KB on TB. Tuberculosis is still the most cur- able serious chronic disease and the one for which nobody has a cure. Tuberculosis, when you get it, is a battle. Whether you will win or lose the battle depends largely upon vour own intelligence. If you're a knowitall you'll win out only by luck, if at all. If you have enough intel- ligence to comprehend that you and vour well meaning friends and the plausible people who tell you how easy it is to cure do not know quite as much as your doctor knows about the rules for recovery from tuber- culosis, the tactics, the strategy of warfare against a determined but not unconquerable enemy, why, it will be only a matter of very bad luck if you don’t put the kibosh on the TB and live happily, though let us hope not boastfully, ever afterward. One thing I have noticed about peo- ple who have won the battle with tuberculosis. They are not at all boastful of their victory. They seem eager to acknowledge gratitude to those whose counsel and expert guid- ance have shown them the way. Most of the boasting is gotten off Dby those who do not even know what the fighting is like, but who are avid readers of the greatly enlarged and beautifully illustrated almanacs of the twentieth century. They boast first and repent afterward. They “throw physic to the dogs,” and rush off to another climate—any climate only so it is far enough from home— and they become miserable inmates of the charitable institutions or man- age to get carried back home at last, broken victims of foolhardiness. A victor whose story I have told here before, developed tuberculosis in 1915, fought the battle in his home in a large city, devoting about three vears to the campaign, put the kibosh on the consump, and returned to his ordinary peacetime work. He has en- joyed peace ever since. He told his story first in the Journal of the Out- door Life. It has been reprinted in pamphlet form. To obtain the pam- phlet, send 5 cents with your request to the Tuberculosis Society of De- troit and Wayne County, 316 East Jefferson avenue, Detroit, Mich. If You are a resident of Wayne County, however, you may obtain the pam- l"hlql free. The last time I recom- mended it 1,500 people wrote to the soclety for copies, and I reckon about 15,000 wrote to me asking for a recipe how to cure oneself of con- sumption. Once for all the 15,000 and as many more thousand as may write me now, I have no recipe for the cure of consumption. It's a battle and you've got to know how to fight it yourself. In order to win against a determined enemy. you had better study tactics and strategy under ex- perts and not in glorified almanacs— nor the gossip of your friends. I have heard so much about the damp, changeable climate in Mary- land that I have about decided the only thing one can do is move some- where else. 1 seem to have one cold after another and never get entirely over it. Where would you advise me to go?—R. P. J. Answer.—About the only place where the climate is quite satisfac- tory to all the residents is heaven. That same slander on the climate is as prevalent in California, New Eng- land, Oregon and Manitoba as it is in Maryland, and, in fact, it is merely an alibi. You should consult a phy- sician and let him determine what is the matter. I can assure you the Maryland climate is as healthful as any other climate short of the place I suggested for you. ‘What is your criticism of coffee made in a percolator? How should coffee be made if not by boiling? ‘What is your objection to boiling? Because we like the flavor, we are percolating our coffee and pouring it into cups half filled with hot milk, so the mixture is half and half. What is your criticism of this method?— B. C. W. Answer.—Grind the coffee for each making, and let the grounds stand for fifteen minutes or longer in cool water, with a half a jerk of egx white stirred in the water. Then set ‘the pot on the fire, and watch it, and snatch it off just before it is about to get ready to start boiling. Boil- ing extracts tannin and ruins the flavor—drives off the aromatic flavor —which smells good, but léaves the coffee flat. 1 have no criticism of a percolator. (Copyright, 1924.)

If you study the becomingness of your shoes with the care you do hats, you may work quite a magic in the change. “Feet, like faces, ars fasts that cannot be altered” used to be a popu- lar saying. But times have changed since that notion gained credence, and we all know how easy it is to alter faces by a certain trick of coiffure, a happy drooping of the hat brim, a gentle faking of color. And while, of course, we cannot actually change the bony structure of the feet 50 2s to work any appre- ciable alteration. in the size of the shoe required, nevertheless the appar- ent size and shape of the feet may be altered by the choice of good- looking shoes. For instance, it you have a thick instep and ankle and a short foot, and then try to fit yourself out in the short French vamp. you will achieve an effect not unlike a horse's hoof. But put a long, narrow last on the same foot and witness the visibly increased pleasant effect. Then, too, instead of the high or loose tongue, such a foot looks much better in a simple one-or-fwo strap pump. So much of the attractiveness of a costume depends upon the shoes worn that a word about selecting shoes to What Might Have Happened. ‘When things go wrong, why just be glad They baven't happened twice as bad. —Farmer Brown's Boy.- The Green Meadows were nowhere to be seen.

This family name originally was preceded by either “atte,” meaning “at the” or “de la,” meaning “of the, and it belongs in the group whish was used at first to designate the locality in which the bearer lived. Cudworth is a place name, meaning the farm, dwelling or place in the wood. In the old Saxon speech the word “cud,” or, as it was sometimes spelled, “coit,” indicated a wood, while “worth,” & word occurring with great frequency in ‘various compounds in the list of English family names, had the general meaning of place, farm or house. Thus the family name of Cudworth has approximately the same meaning as that of Woodhouse, though the two have been derived from two different pairs of words. Woodhouse is prob- ably the more common form of the name, just as the words of which it is compounded, “wood” and “house,” are both words which have withstood the attacks of time and the invasion of Norman-French, and which are in common use in our modern English.
