Quaint Frocks for Quaint Little Folks
f
Kissing and the Grip
Mr WOODS lll'TrillMSOX, M. D. .thm up to about th plflo rravltjr of , to cur you or even ihorttn the attack.
. J tha Mood arum.
Tho much hed-llnl Mrlla of o.cula- I romatloa. aurh aa tha camphor.
Hon. while klonlnn. Ilka anr other form
of 1lrp(t rontact. Is qnlla capable of
vprcadlns the nrlp, hut the actual per
venule part played by it In clrculatlnf the
Infection Is prlbly little more than
trivial.
There I en little of It anyway. ecept
between mothers and children, and mem
bcra of the no me family have no many
other active waya of paanlnt along the
Infection that the kin probably play
only about as heavy a part In thn
'mortality" aa the bayonet doee In mod
ern war.
With the aneex killing at twenty feet
and everybody doing It and the kin
deadly only "hand-to-hand" and only an
occasional luxury. It eecm a pity to de
nounce one of the few pleaaurca of life
and neceaMUes of a happy home on ac
count of tha InttnltcRtmal part which It
may play In aproaJtnK Infection.
The foolish and Indiscriminate pecking
practiced by aome women whenever they
meet might well be dlwouracd, and alao
the ohecrful custom of expecting or al
lowing every visitor to ktsa the children
and slnbher over the baby, but the actual
number of recorded case of dleoaa?
lofliltoly known to have been trans
mitted by a kiss la distinctly Small.
When It cornea to local measures for
either the prevention or cure of the grip,
It must be said at once that any attempt
at antlseptlo treatment. In the sense of
aiming to destroy or neutralise fhe In
vading germa In tha noea or throat, will
defeat itself, because any remedy strong
enough to be really effective as a germi
cide would do more harm to our noaa or
throat than It would to tha germs.
On the other hand, there la a consid
erable amount of value In measures di
rected to keeping tha nose and throat
clean and well fluahad out and health
fully stimulated by meant of mild
cleansing and weakly antlseptlo washes
and spray.
The main requirement of these la that
they should be alkaline and contain
sufficient neutral salt or salts to bring
menthol or turpentine aerlea add to their
efficiency, partly because of their mild
antlseptlo effect and aim by their pun
gent and convincing odor. Any Intelligent
physician or hospital cllnlo can give you
a formula which wtll be suited to your
particular throat and prove useful In a
variety of ways.
Just plain bnklng soda or salt, half a
teaapoonful to a glaaa of lukewarm
water, will earve very well, but the
balanced mixtures are more agreeable
and effective.
Tt Is a good thing to keep a box of
soda on your dressing tablo or wash
etand. both to wash out the mouth and
gargle the throat with freely whenever
It feels uncomfortable, or when you have
been exposed to foul air and posslbla
Infection.
Some mild oily spray such as liquid
vaseline, with menthol. In also useful for
cleaning out the nose and throat under
the same circumstances. It has fre
quently been noted by observant nose
and throat specialists that rather a h'gh
percentage of their regular patients, who
were under routine treatment for catarA
and other nasal and throat conditions,
seem to escape attack during epidemic
of tha grip.
Not that there Is any spec lei maglo In
the treatment, which of course, varies
widely In different patients, but that all
or them as a part of the routine were
using mildly alkaline and antlseptlo
washes In the noae and threat regularly
night and morning. Tou can't kill tha grip
germ by such means, but you can dis
tinctly discourage htm and Increase your
chanoea of paralysing him and washing
him down Into the body sewers.
Finally, If the grip geta you In aplte of
everything, don't taka It to heart. If
you are In reasonably good health and
take Intelligent, self-Indulgent care of
yourself, you have little aerloua to fear
front It.
Even Ita temporary agonies and miser
ies can be very greatly alleviated by tha
Judicious use of mild pain relievers In
killed hands. They won't do anything
but they will make you far less uncom
fortable while It lasts and leave no stint;
behind them. As for the complication
and after effects that may occur, tha
vast majority of them are either aggra
vations of trouble which existed pre
viously or can be avoided by proper rest
and car. And while, as a famoua au
thority ha truly said. "Anything may
happen to you after the grip," so ' It
might also after a good dinner.

. By ANN LISLE.
There was once a little girl who was
always tha vary last to get a partner at
dancing school and the very last to be
invited to school festivities when th
were home-
By th time she was lS, Bessie was well
aware of th fact that ' "obys weren't
peclally Interested In her." Bh had a
nub nose -and a generous mouth and
twinkling brown eye and a rather plump
figure, and recognised that none of these
thing mad for beauty.
Edna and Kitty and Gensvleve wer all
attractive and- th boy liked them and
they war sure to hav lore affair and
good time and offer of marrUce. Bessie
accepted that and having accepted It
aaw no object In weeping over it, but
decided Instead to go after th sort of
success that depended upon her rather
than th sort that must com through
masoulln preference.
Bessie took stock of bar aWUUes. There
was nothing In particular sh could do
xoept keep her temper on all occasion,
and that ah decided would just about
qualify her to clerk In a shop where
women's wear was sold.
Beast managed to get a position. It
developed that beside keeping her tamper

terest In th problem of other women.
At th and of five year Bessie found
herself at the head of the dressmaking
department of the store. She was earn
ing money enough to pay for her own
taxicaba and lunches snd theater tickets,
and sh was much too Interested In her
work to car whether sh Interested men
or not.
In the process of studlng line and oolor
Bessie had naturally drifted into a way
of doing her hair at aa angle that' count

that glossed over th roundness of her

She had begun to wear black aa a

Nature had not designed Bessie for
beauty, but Bessie grew Into a good

She didn't mtsa masculine attention, be

Bessie responded with unspoiled love to

kindled m him emotion a genuine aa his
admiration had been.
Edna, of th many partner In dancing

matrimonial partner and was now man

Kitty had too many admirer to make a
choice and was an aging and unattrac

Genevieve, who had always been Boa
ale's envy and despair In her unpopular
youth, wss trying to bring up six chil
dren on the limited Income of th good-
looking village n'er-do-well 'whom sh
had married at IS just when Bessie had
dedicated herself to a llf of work.
"You're the only man who ever asked
me to marry him," said honest Bessl to
her fiance.
. And th gallant fiance, looking at th
"shining brown eyes" and th "beauti
fully colffed hair" and th " daintily ret
rouaee nose" and th "pleasingly femi
nine figure" in Its delicate black drap
eries, replied honestly enough, "Well, I'm
probably not th only man who wanted
to but I auppo you wer much too
busy to listen."
Moral: In llf, and in dancing school,
a girl can hav only one partner at a
time; and lata corner may serve you well
when early one merely serve you right.
Advice to Lovelorn

Dear Miss Fairfax. I am 1 and dearly

Would you please tell me how I can keep
his friendship, as I love htm very much.
JJ&AN.
Ask th young man for an explanation,
and tell him you think that much la
due your old friendship. As a matter of
fact, he is young and so probably fickle.
I suppose he ha simply gotten over hi
