There may be danger of self- undoing as well as suffering through subtle outside attack. In business as well as in social, domestic and af- fectional matters there may be hostile forces to menace and cir- cumvent. Those whose birthday it is have the possibility of a year of annoy- ance as well as intrigue. They may suffer from their own delinquencies as well as from the attacks of others, and this unpleasant state of affairs may prevail in the home and heart as well as in business transactions.

M.D, Comisaioner of Health New York City.) roe 3 How to Guard Yourself From Con; tracting Disease. It used to be believed that some sort of mysterious influence or mi- asm, a force, a gas or a spirit came from a sick person or from the soil and caused the illness. Don't you remember how you used to go across the street to keep from passing too close to a house where contagious disease was? Eméanations of contagion were supposed to come in elouds, or to spread in circles. It was believed they reached out to en- velop innocent by-standers. No wonder people grow panicky during epidemics. A good many times, when' acting as health officer, I had to hold public meetings to allay the fears of the people. When every- body understands how disease fis transmitted there will be more effic- jent control of disease, because effonts to confine it will be more in- telligently supported by the public. Let ue see if we can formulate our knowledge of communicable or con- tagious diseases: They are caused by living organ- isms, commonly known as germs. These organigms are real, tangible things, things which live and move. They can be seep under the miecros- cope and recognized one from an- other. . Most of these organisms live in human beings. A few originate in the bodies of lower animals. But all of them live and multiply in liv- ing animals. The only way these organisms, which are capable of producing dis- ease, can escape from the body where they live, is through the secretions or discharges. Some leave through the urine or perspiration, some through the saliva or other secretions and others through the bowel discharges. All discharges or contagious dis- eases are dangerous. They continue to be dangerous as long as they re- tain warmth and moisture, necessary to the iife of the contained germs. Direct physical contact is essential to contagion. Mere presence in the neighborhood of a sick person will not result in infection. There is mo "atmosphere" or danger--there must be actual contact with the discharges to get the contaminating agent. , Once I had to deal with an excited community because Board of Health wurses, without change of costume, entered and left homes where scarlet fever raged. While this would not be good practice for everybody, a trained nurse, who will religiously avoid handling any contanimated ob- ject and particularly any particle of secretion, can do this safely. You see, the present idea is that contagion is carried by diseased per- sons and not by inanimate objects, like clothing or playthings. Of course contact with the skin is not enough to contract a disease. The infective material must get to the nose, mouth or throat of the well person. Unless it enters one of the cavities of the body, unless it is rub- tagion. ' Diseased tonsils or adenoids offer Three Tucks Form Tiers in This Navy Street Frock. By Annette Bradshaw. Tiers are being given a very promi- nent place in the new frocks for Fall. They appear - in all types of gowns, from the simple house model to the elaborate evening gown. The tiered treatment is even noted in underwear, and sheer dance pettj- coats are made more attractive still by filmy rows 'of lace arranged in tiers. At the left we have an evening gown of silky velvet it. the new copper tone. The bodice is 'made on basque lines TWO FROCKS FEATURING TIERS Many Newest Skirts of Different Kinds Show Tier Treatment. Copper-Colored Lace Tiers Adorn This Velvet Evening Gown. perfectly plain with an oval neck, and softly folded to fit the lines of the fig- ure, Copper-metal lace forms the tiers. They dip down slightly in the back, giving the irregular lines that are so well liked. The street frock is of navy rep. The back panel is perfectly plain, while the front one is marked by three tucks that simulate the tiered treatment. The mo- del buttons'at the side back with flat metal buttons, while a soft black rib- bon sash starts at the right side 'and ends in a bow at the left. Woman's Sixth Sense S---- Blessed is the woman who possesses the sixth sense--clothes admiration of all men, Be she of middle age, she chooseth not the garb of the flapper, and, be she flapper, she avoideth the garments: of age. How few daughters of Eve are blessed with the wisdom of correct dressing. 1t is not only essential to know ex- actly what to wear, but to know exact- ly when to wear it is imperative. Many women wear clothes that are becom- ing to them and that look as though 'they were made just for them, but, even so, they often make the mistake of being over-dressed for certain oc- casions, It is far better to be under- dressed than overdressed. I have in mind a stunning woman whose age is on the kind side of forty. She is rather mature in build and rea- lizes that flapper styles are not for her. She is always gowned in soft lux- urious fabrics, with lines that are loose enough to conceal the outlines of her well-bloomed figure. Her colors are al- ways subdued soft grays, browns and blues that are kind to her carefully tinted complexion. But--in her effort to attain a soft, feminine appeal in her clothes, she is very often over-dressed. She appears at morning in fussy clothes that are fit only for teatime, while for afternoon occasions she is usually dressed in gowns that would be appropriate only for the dinner hour. She is always love- ly and appealing, but not always in good taste. We all know that youth can wear one type of clothes and maturity an- other; also that morning calls for cloth es of one sort and afternoon and ev- ening for others, Many women make the mistake of over dressing for morn- were dressed in simple morning gar- ments deviate from the rules of con- ( g clothes should always be subdued in cut and color. Jewels of decidedly in bad dresses, ing. I have seen intelligent women who ago they were hired only as stenogra- phers or secretaries and in some in- stances not hired at all. as The remarkable hold which the néw- ly developed woman now has on the business world is shown in a survey by the Eastern Underwriter, an insurance magazine, which conducted a national investigation. This survey shows that in many cases women turning their minds to business have surpassed men in the hurly-burly world. It also reveals: There are now five women bank presidents in the country and a half dozen women vice-presidents. There is a national bank in Clarks- ville, Tenn, the officers of which are all women. Many women society leaders have started big manufacturing businesses. Some of them opc\ating on a million dollar scale. Women now hold high judicial posts, with at least one State Supreme court judgeship. A California woman is president of a flourishing railroad. Collars and Ouffs Collars and cuffs have returned to Paris from their exile in fantastic forms, They are reasserting their rights most emphatically, and we see collars that hide the chin in a funnel. shaped flare, and bell-shaped cuffs that almost cover the hands. Other gowns show mediaeval influence, with collars like those of the pages of the fourteenth century. The sleeves are slit above the arm, like a columbine flow- Straight French Toe. Fall.

A dark blue sleeve is lengthened with a mitten cuff of red, or slit from the el- bow to the wrist, so as to show a lin- ing of burnt orange. Although high collars and long sleeves appear in the street apparel the evening gown is 'as guiltless of sleeves as of old. The simple camisole bodice is retained, suspended from the shoulders by a slender chain of beads or jet. Reason Enough. A diminutive Cockney was dcer- stalking in the Highlands, where he had engaged the service of a tall and powerful gamekeecper. The day was particularly warm, and the keeper, irritated at the ways of his little master, gave vent to his ruffled feelings by groaning at re- gular intervals at the "midges" which swarmed around him. "l cannot understand," said the Cockney, patrondzingly, 'how the 'midges' bother you so much. 1 haven't got so much as a singie bite "Hoots," replied the other, con- temptuously, "they hivna noliced ye yet." Philosophy makes us wiser, but religion makes us better men.
