PARIS. At some of the smart continental watering places there are many wom- en who wear bathing attire of some BLACK TAFFETA BATHING SUIT TRIMMED WITH WHITE POLKA-DOT TAFFETA. sort or other—or rather beach attire —from 10 in the morning until time to dress for dinner. No wonder, then, that the Paris dressmakers tax their own marvelous ingenuity to devise new and interesting beach costumes. It would be very poor business in- deed to permit these women to wear a simple bathing costume. The fact is that there are as many different parts and accessories of the smart thing ensemble as for street wear n the ecity. What we should call the “bathing suit” itself is often the 150 YEARS AGO TODA Story of the U. Settlers Rout Savages. WILLIAMSBURG, Va., July 1776.—Messengers arrived today with aecounts of two encounters between the settlers and the Indians on the weestern frontier on the 20th at Island Flats and Watauga. These affairs mark the opening of tween the patriot frontiersmen on one side and the savages, Tories and Brit- ish on the other. The settlers have been gathering for some time at Eaton’s Station and Watauga, assembling their families within the fort and getting ready for any Indian advance. On the men set out from Katon's under their militia captains to meet a band of savages who had taken the warpath in their direction. Advanc- ing cautiously in two parallel files, at Isiand Flats they came upon 20 sa ages, who fled in great haste, abandon- ing their baggage. The settlers then turned back toward their fort, and the Indians, mistaking this movement for & retreat, rushed upon them with great furor, led their Dragging Canoe. The settlers drew their files to gether in lines a quarter of a mile long, waited until the savages were close upon ed fire with deadly effect. It was a short fight but a. fierce one. Dragging Canoe was wounded and the settlers came away with 13 scalps, many guns and a great rtment of Indian war supplies, theil ss being four wounded. Thus was this Indian foray frustrated. The Eaton's Station peo- ple are secure within their fort. The ardor of the red chieftains and their young warriors has been effectively cooled in that quarter for the immedi- ate present. At Watauga a large force of Indians attacked the fort at sunrise. Within the fort were many women and children, but less than 50 men. James Robertson was in command, with John Sevier as his lieutenant. The Indian attack was soon over. Every one of them who showed him- self in the woods and underbrusn around the fort was promptly greeted by them, then o] hostilities be- | | But the fort is well provisioned and | chieftain, 4 least expensive item to consider. There are shawls for the beach as elaborate and colorful as any em- broidered Spanish shawl worn in the | evening. The shawl itself extends to the knees or a trifle above that and the long fringe sways gracefully down to the ankles. Lelong is making beach coats of colored kasha lined with white kasha, in outline much like any other coat. They extend to the knees and are worn to and from the beach over the bathing costume. For warmer weather there are coats of cretonne which are sold with charming cre- tonne parasols to match. Beach pajamas are no longer a novelty and this season the trouser portion is often made rather full, being gathered closely about the ankles with a little frill falling below | the ankles. Really most sedate gar- ments these. Lanvin originated such | a pajama suit for beach wear made of silver lame lined with rose satin which is seen to advantage on the long revers of the coat. Sometimes the trousers of the pajamas are of black crepe de chine worn with a coat of figured silk in bright colors. (Copyright. 1926.) Clues to Character || e | BY J. 0. ABERNETHY. Memory Location. It is understood that no two persons | are exactly alike in size, form, disposi- tion or character. Some individuals of ordinary mentality find it quite simpie to calculate rapidly, while others, with much keener minds, have troubie adding the very simplest sum. Once you have learned the fund mentals of character reading you will find no difficulty in distinguishing the man who has an uncanny memory. A large brain, with all else equal, indi- cates power. This rule is accepted by all authorities, ancient and modern. Where the memory of events is weak it can be strengthened by slowly, carefully and thoroughly committing to memory by constant repetition or by reading attentively such selections s may be desired. Memory is not wisdom, and a large memory merely does not of itself make any one wise; it is sometimes the com- pensation which nature makes for a lack of original thought. The best intellect does not always possess the greatest memory One may possess large verbal mem- ory and very little memory of loca- | tion. Another may have intense love for .and memory of color and not of location. Some have a strong'memory for places and events. Memory of | events is large in editors, descriptive writers, statesmen and peliticians. The faculty of memory is located part way between the ceenter and on each side of the forehead ahout an inch above the eyebrows. When large it gives breadth to that part of the | A.

Potato and Beat Salad. Cook equal quantities of potatoes | and beets. When cold, chop separtely quite fine, arrange in a salad bowl, placing first the potato and over this in tablespoonfuls the beets, arranging at intervals so that the dark red will look like bunches of flowers on the | white potato. Over this pour any | dressing preferred. A simple dress- | ing of vinegar with salt, pepper and a | little sugar and olive oil does not change the effect of the color scheme of the salad. 7 Women’s Allure no longer imperiled under hygienic handicaps—new way offers true protection; discards like tissue RESH, charming, immaculate under ALL conditions.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are distinctly favorable, although at about noon there is a brief spell of influ- ences that are untoward. This period, howevet, will not last long enough to affect in any serious manner the pleas- ing and encouraging atmosphere that will prevail.

The Ourse of the Atto Denounoes Hoarding . DorothyDix‘ Have You Packed Away Diséarded Coats That Might Keep Some One Warm, Finery That 2 Might Delight Some Young Girl or Toys? WE HAD been talking about dreams. Finally a woman said: “I come of a long line of thrifty housekeepers, and one of the maxiums ‘on which 1 was reared was to put everything carefully away when I was done with it, because some day I might find a use for it. ‘My mother and grandmother before me had held devoutly to that same faith, so that we had an attic simply bursting with the accumulation of 50 or 60 years of cast-offs. One of the ordeals of spring cleaning time was to g£o through that mass of junk and dust off the boxes and the bales and the barrels, and pack them a litttle closer in order that more might be put in. “Well, after one of these orgies of cleaning up the attic, tired and worn, T feil,asleep, and dreamed that I was dead and had gone up to the Judgment Bar, and that I had to give some sort of reason to St. Peter for letting me through the Pearly Gates. In my dream I started off glibly telling him that I had been a dutiful daughter and a good wife and mother and an economical and saving housekeeper, and at that St. Peter nodded his head and asked: ‘Is what this woman says true? Are there any that accuse her?’ “And at that, to my horror, I saw a long and incongruous procession of the things in the attic approaching. At its head was a great mass of cloth. ing—old_dresses, old wraps, old trousers, old coats—dozens and dozens of things all stained and milgewed and falling to pleces with age. “Suddenly an old furlined overcoat began to speak: “‘We accuse her.’ it said, ‘For years and years we have hung in the attic rotting away, devoured by the moths, of use to no one. 1 had it in me to bring warmth and comfort to some poor shivering wretch, yet every cold day in the Winter she passed a hundred half-freezing men on the street to whom T would have been a Godsend. Perhaps if she had given me to the old man who sold papers on’ the corner he would not have caught the cold that ended in pneumonia and killed him in that last blizzard.’ e b ) “ (W 3 ACCUSE her,’ cried a score of pairs of shoes in chorus, ‘because she let us mold and decay and perish in the attic when there were so many thousands of feet passing her door that were upon the ground and that we could have saved from the wet and cold of the pavement.’ “‘We accuse her,’ said a trunk of old finery, ‘because we could have brought so much happiness to so many voung girls, and she shut us away under lock and key, where we did nothing but fade away with regret at our uselessness. We are her mother's old.party dresses. We are her own ball gowns and dinner frocks that she tired of or that were a bit out of fashion, but-that any clever girl could have furbished up,and made as good as new. “‘Why there have been times when we have almost broken out of the trunk when we have heard the poor little shop girl from whom this woman bought her gloves sobbing in her pillow at night because she did not have a dancing frock to wear to the Firemen’s Ball, and when we thought of how well that pretty dark girl who runs the elevator in the apartment in which she lived could marry if she only had that red velvet hat and frock that the moths were just beginning on to set off her dark beauty and make that young salesman realize what a queen she really is." I gecuse her, rumbled a big spring mattress. ‘I am as good as new, capable of bringing rest and relaxation, yet she put me up in the attic three years ago when she installed twin beds in her guestroom, and I have done nothing but make a nesting place for mice ever since. —— 1 1 “ Yet, her-laundress, who works every day beyond her strength to sup- { port her big family of fatherless children, goes home at night to lay her tired hody on a bed that is as hard as a rock. What a comfort I might have been all these years to that poor, brave. little cteature and the little children who cuddle against her at night for warmth!" . .. . . 6 ¢] ACCUSE her,' said a big, fat. soft-stuffed chair. ‘Heaven knows how long I have idled away my life in uselessness! Ever since she did over the house in period furniture and I was not considered good enough to mix with Louis XV or Duncan Phyffe. “‘Perhaps she had forgotten that I even existed, but 1 have often won- dered that she did not recall me when she saw that poor little crippled boy gitting in his hard chair in*the back of the shop where she took her little boy's shoes sometimes to be mended. I hate to.think of that child, and of the tired old bones that I could have held in my soft lap.’ ““We atcuse her,’ said a great pile of hooks and magazines. ‘We have lJain in the attic for vears upon years molding away, with never an eye to read us, with never a hand to lift our covers and take the riches we have to bestow. Yet this woman went Summer after.Summer in the country to places where there are no books. “‘Just think of what joy she could have given if she had sent us to the lonely farmhouses where people are starving for something to read. Think of how short the Winter nights would be if they had thrilling stories towhile away the hours! Think of what cheer and comfort we would bring to shut-in lives! Think of the boys and girls to whom we would be an inspiration and whose lives we might change!’ “Then came a lot of children’s toys; dolis whose waxen cheeks time had faded, battered little trains, miniature sets of dishes, balls and tops falling to pieces. ‘We accuse her,’ they said sadly, ‘because we have rusted out while llltlle chidren dragged spools at the end of a string and sang rag bables to sleep.’ | “But T could bear no more. The hofror of my nightmare awakened me. and the next morning I cleared out that attic to the last articie in it and sent the things where they would be of use and do some good. “I gave nothing now. The minute T am done with anything I pass it on | to some one who needs it. And when I come to die, whatever else I have on my conscience, I will be free of the vice of hoarding useless things. “I am going to escape the curse of the attic.” DOROTHY DIX. | mixing bowl.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY Heart Disease. Chronfc myocarditis is impairment of the efficiency of the heart muscle from degenerative changes in the muscle tissue. This term, myocarditis, means literally inflammation of the heart muscle, but it is not what the layman ordinarily understan.s as in- flammation. It is rather degeneration ~—the muscle cells or fibers are gradu- ally broken down and replaced by fibrous or scar tissue, which, of course, can do no work. This process consti- | tutes slow heart muscle failure. With a desire to warn folks, not to scare ‘em, 1 would say here at the take-off that when a heart is in any way embarrassed by ‘‘gas pregsure’’ that heart is sick. And this being a dark, lowering day, I'll add this: In every case of “acute indigestion” somebody is being deceived. Often it is just the newspaper readers: some- times it Is the patient; occasionally it is just the doctor. But “acute in- digestion” simply doesn't happen in reality. In a good many cases in which “acute indigestion” conceals the facts, the trouble is myocarditis. For years before the chronie my carditis patient comes under medical care there are definite signs of heart impairment which the victim delib- erately elects to ignore, or perhaps he ascribes his condition to his age, or to overwork or nervous exhaustion or indigestion or high blood pressure. People who are not quite so well as | they should be indulge too freely in this purblind practice of self-soothing giving their allments pleasant . but meaningless names and “trying” this and that method of treatment which purports to be good for just such vague troubles. At present dietary ‘meddling is the favorite sport of the valetudina: ulation. It is refréshing to meet & person who is not in perfect health yet sntertains no freak notion or funny fad about dfet. One of the fool notions is that a per- son with any manifestation of cardio- vasoular disease—heart muscle fail- ure, hardening of the arteries, chronic Bright's disease—shouldn't eat meat. Akin to this popular obsession is one which turns up several times daily in my correspondence with readers—the fancy that albumin in the urine comes from eating albuminous foods such as lean meat or white of eggs, or_from eating 0o much of such foods. There is no ground for these notions. If food is & factor of cardiovascular disease or any of its manifestations in heart arteries or kidneys, or if overeating at all to blame for these troubies, there is more reason to place the blame on the carbohydrates—foods consisting mainly of starch or sugar— for nearly all overeating is a matter of gorging on carbohydrates. Dr. §. Calvin Smith mentions five symptoms, one or more cf which should warrant a careful periodle health examination for the recognition of any beginning of chronic myocardi- tis or slow heart muscle faflure: (1) Shortness of breath, (2) heart hurry, (3) chest oppression, (4) chest pain and (5) physical fatigue—all arising upon moderate or accustomed effort Suocotash.
