Batchelor ays and be wise.” Talks To Jfigwafifi WHY NOT COOPERATE By ALICE JUDSON PEALE 1t you are the mother of a small child and you live anywhere except in the wide open spaces of the country, you doubtless meet your neighbors every morning and every afternoon shepherding their little ones out walking or watching them play. Has it ever occurred to you that you and a few of those other young mothers might save yourselves a great deal of your very busy time and benefit your children incalcu- lably by a little cooperation in their care? I know of one group of mothers who worked out such a scheme of cooperation. There were three of them and there were five youngsters all between three and five years of age. Each mother assumed entire responsibility for taking all the chil- dren out to play two days of the week. Kach mother thereby gained four free days a week in which to do extra homekeeping jobs, shop- ping, part time work or the attend- ance of ‘“‘courses” and club meet- ings. The children thrived under the arrangement. It was much more fun for them to play together than 1o take lonely airings with an adult who, after all was said and done, certainly was a sorry substitute for a real playmate The mothera not only Ilhvlus--l\ s some of that freedon: from the constant society of their children which every mother ought to have both for her own sake and theirs, but also they learned to be far ‘more competent in their task of motherhood. For the first time they were able to see their children with some of that detachment which character- izes the good nursery school teach- er. They were able to consult each other in their difficulties and give each other helpful advice. won for REAR FULLNESS A Paris frock for afternoon, in soft green crepe, has a natural waistline and full skirt that has a back hip-yvoke of gathers fastened to a lining.

Paris Makes Shopping An At New York, June 7—Perhaps it is just as well that one half the world does not know how the other half ghops. For it would be a let down to get excited over a few percale sheeta at the semi-annual cotton sale if you had ever accompanied Mary Garden on a shopping jaunt and seen her buy half a dosen pink silk embroidered sheets costing $1.000 dollars apiece and 10 bottles of per- fume, each costing more than a month’s rent— Or you might be annoyed at the small amount of attention you rate at the bargain blouse center, if you had ever watched the respectful at. tention that is accorded to Mary Pickford when she goes into a Puris couturier's with her thermos bottle of milk and her dressing gown, and gives over the day to fittings and plannings— Developing Color. Scheme Or how would you like to sit with Anita Loos while she selects her color for a season and then has it developed in day, evening and sports attire—? Or make the rounds of the ex- clusive establishments with Ina Claire and select the high spo‘s from each collection—? Or become plebean with the stats- ly Dolores, who used to be the love- liest sight in the Follies and is now the wife of Tudor Wlikinson, and atch her buy remnants and materials by the yard, to be made into gowna by her own lovely fin- gers? All About Paris Shopping Just how shopping is done by rich Americans, and by those who come tourist third, is disclosed in a new book, “Paris Is a Woman's Town, by Helen Josephy and Mary M garet McBride, two American girls who know their Paris and know their middle west, and who have managed to collect items of interest for thos: who shop in Paris. and those who have never wandered in- to the shopper's Paradise, but have hopes. They tell you how to avoid the pitfalls of buying. and to come from with the asort of clothes that will acknowledge their Parisian origi in no uncertain terms. They tell you how to tell an original from an imitation. and how to hootleg your styles, if you want quantity rather than labels. A Matrimonial Mode They tell you what to expect from each house. For instance, if you want to attract a husband, they advise you to buy Chanel models, for she knows what clothes draw the eyes of men, whether they live in Bingapore or Kokomo. If you are tall and stately and |your architecture ia pure Greek, Vionnet will do right by you. Ir you want to look dangerous and vamp some other woman's husband away from her right under her own jrose and atill retain her respect, go to Jenny. Worth can make you look like 2 queen, despite your forbears—or at least like royalty, if that is your ambition, and Lam will somehow create an impression of dewey youth, no matter if you have not been able to approximate it your- self for a decade. They do say that this famous couturier clothes not only famous women, but men well, and that one of New York's prominent men- about-town and his wife are both patrons of hers. Sophisticated—or Not If you are the sophisticated type you will find Paquin and Cheruit your meat, or Poiret or Suzannc Talbot. 1f you want uneccentric, wearable, smart, clean-cut clothes that will proclaim you an American though on French soil, Lelong, Pa- tou or Molyneux will do the trick. And, here's something to interest the public that follows the 18-day diet—they do say that Martial et Armand will make you look slim in spite of yourselt—they practically control the smart Teutonic trade. And they give you this final bit of advice: Never, never. never, no matter what other folly you may commit in France, tak: your husband ér any other man shopping with you. Let him pay the bills and thus show his co-operation, but limit his | participation here. Where Can Husband Go? Which brings up an important issue not covered in the book. Where is a woman supposed to park her husband while she spends her days parting with francs — parting that is such sweet sorrow? To which Miss McBride, hersel? very literary and fond of reading. Suggests: “Let him go over to the office of the New York Times, where they have a really excellent reading room and all the papers, and let him get the news from home.” “Or,” puts in Miss Josephy, cager to be helpful, “you might reserve apace for him in any of the bars— Harry's is particularly appropriate, since its customers are mostly men who speak English, =0 he won" get lonesome or feel strange. Or ho might go to the Revues that he will want to see, and that his wife may concluded Miss Me- wonld be best to leave {that to him. and let him work out his own recreation.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine With the advance in medical acience and the increase of speciali- zation, it became increasingly diffi- cult for one physician to provide the best type of medical care to his clientele at a price that they could afford to pay. There are many reasons for this. As has been pointed out by many observers, the vast majority of hu- man ailments seen early can be taken care of by a general prac- titioner with the amount of equip- ment that he can carry in his hand- bag. In the difficult case. however, it may he necessary to use the X-ray, to have blood counts, to examine Women get the great thrills from —Photos by Consuela Kanaga Paris shopping, according to Mary Margaret McBride, upper right, and Helen Josepny, lower left, but ene famous woman couturier has considered the problems of man, and will outfit him as well as his wife, all of the machinery that is today available only in the offices of spe- cialists, in clinics and in hospitals. These things require the attention of a considerable number of trained personnel. Clinics Increase The clinics of this country have increased from some 600 in 1910 to some 6,000 in 1926. In 1900 there were only 100 clinics. Of the 6,000 in operation today, 700 are con- cerned with tuberculosis, 900 with venereal disease, 400 with mental disease and almost 200 with the discases of the heart, responsible for more mortality than are any other diseases in this country. The hospitals of the nation have increased in number until today there are almost 8,000 as contrasted with hundreds 25 years ago. ‘Whereas some three or four hun- dred nurses were graduated from hospital training scheols in 1880, this year approximately 18,000 nurses were graduated and the cost of operating the training schools is a part of the cost of hospital care. Approximately one attendant was required for each person in a his- pital in 1910, while today there are from three to four attendants for each person in the hospital, includ- ing doctors, nurses, orderlies, staff clerks, laboratory workers, engi- neers, maids, cooks. laundry work- ers and what not. These also must be included in the cost of medical care. It may be argued that the only portion of thia problem that con- cerns the physician is his own fee. Such an argument would not be true to the ideals or the nature of the medical profession. The care of the sick is the doctors’ problem. Group Associations ‘To save in the cost of overhead associated with the refinements of modern medicdl practice, specialists soon began to associate themselves in groups, so that they might joint- Iy use the expensive apparatus and the services of technicians. Such associations have been made In group clinics, horpital centers, or in office units, Sooner or later patients hegan' to go directly to apecialists. There are physicians who feel today that the general practitioner is a fast dis- appearing species of the genus medi- cus. Were this to occur, the public would undeubtedly suffer for many reasons, but primarily because his service can be rendered at a reason- able cost and for the vast majority of aflments is quite satisfactory.
