HERB t thow you a couple. of tbe
- new coaU with hoods. Tbe
largest figure is roomy, com
forUtile and useful gannent. Which, at'
the aame time, has all the .charm of a
walking dress. Notice the arrangement
of ribbons to front. The hood can, if
it 1s" desired, he slipped entirely over
the charming little "topper" and then
these. ribbons tied in place around the
face.,
' The little picture shows a back view
of this same coat and rereals how the
hood falls when not In use.
The last photograph Is one of the
hood coats with the hood m place.
This .Is one' whole combination coat,
shaped somewhat like a suit. In this
climate it Is true that only occasionally
do you hare use for hoods in walking,
but when you do need them you need
them badly. On the other band, these
garments are wonderfully adapted for
motoring or for any outdoor sports in
Winter.
As In. all of women's clothes, there
Is a determined effort toward lndirldu
ality in the coats of the season. No
longer is a coat simply a coat to be ,
thrown on as necessity demands look
ing like ten thousand other coats. It
is a creation something that, while
useful,v must also be "beautiful, and, as
I have aald. indlrldual.

of fashion. - r

and deep cuffs of bearer and; pompon
buttons to match at the neck' and on
the wide belt
Next, a bottle green velour-actually
dispenses with fur altogether,' its high
collar being kept in position, high
about the wearer's chin, by two big
amber buttons, and the belt taking the
quaintest one sided curve in front, after
having been carried in a high point al
most reaching to the collar at the back.
To make up for this deprivation, how
ever, another model of dahlia purple
velour measures no less than four and
a half yards at the hem, and Is there'
bordered with a twelve-inch band of
seal musquash.
"Some" trimming, this!
And "some" bill to be paid by the
woman who eventually owns and wears
it or the husband who "owns" the
wearer! . j .
A quaint scheme there is, too, In a
coat of purple velour, which Is deeply
bordered at the hem -with a band' of
seal musquash, though its .encircling
career Is divided and disguised at the
sides by a wide, loosely hanging panel
of plain cloth, beneath which the waist
' band la also passed. Cuffs and collar.
.'V
too, there are of the same adaptable snd .
satin-soft fur, which is put to final and
effective use for the making of pompon '
buttons. - by the way, the same model'
looks well in soft green velour and
mole fur.
Another and quite pleasant possibility
for the woman who wants or is rather,
compelled to be economical is the coat
of ponyskln cloth, which is such a real-',
istto and, incidentally, raln-reslstlng
substitute for the actual fur, skunk
or opossum being generally used for Us
trimming, and being its worthy match,'
alike in effectiveness snd economy. ' '. '"
Then, as regards the fur coats, their '
very latest and most decorative devel
opment Is a full length and, of course,
full skirted affair of seal musquash,'
which shows the somewhat uncommon
contrast of the gray squirrel In the high
collar and the wide banding at the hem,
a narrow belt of the soft gray fur being
also introduced at the side seams and
fastened in front. .1'
A broadtail model gives further proof
of the new favor for this very sensible '
and smart length, which, in addition to
being more protective. Is also more be
coming to the average figure than the '
full three-quarter coats, which display"
a few , inches of skirt, also full and 4
short and by this same "cutting" make
the least, instead of the most, of the'
wearer's actual Inches. In this case
and . coat the contrast fur, for the trim-
mlng Is a silky, soft black fox, which :
forms a flounce above the hem, and also
a curious and very pretty collar carried
high up at the back and sides, and then
curving sharply, downward in front,
where, however, the broadtail is but
toned closely up to the throat.

How You Can Tell When
There's Something Wrong
With Your Nerves
By Dr. Leonard Hirshbcrtf, A. B., M. A., M. D.
WHEN a doctor Is unable, to
put the blame upon the true
Inwardness of , a .disease, he
often .tells you' the patient Is "only
nervous," has ' "neurasthenia." ' Is
"neurotic." suffers with , a ' "func
tional nervous malady.". Is afflicted
with ."nerves" or "Imagines" things.
1f you go to twenty doctors,, and
tach In turn tells you that 'your ail
ment Is something of .this sort, then,
say I, go to a twenty-first or even a
fiftieth ' until you find . a physician
who Is capable of telling you hon
estly . whet Is actually . the .' matter
with you. , . .
Socrates set the pace for such
arelesne. when he said, "See one
promontory, one mountain, on ses.
one river, and see all.". As a mat
ter of fact, there, are no two things
alike under the sun, and individuals,
like diseases, all differ.
There . are), however, .many , real
maladies of the nerves, brain, and
spinal cord. Each, moreover, has a
name far more exact than the words
"nervous." "neurotic" or "neurss-.
ihenlc "
Many doctors are . like ' Juries.
Thev. ignore the foot-rules snd yard
sticks, which are at hand to, give a
precis measurement of a brain or
nerve disease, and Instead, use
some Inaccurate standard, such as
the length of your arm or the first
Joint of the thumb.' In other, words,
it a man tells them he is sane or Is
nervous. .they are keen to agree with
him Instead of applying the meas
urements which .knowledge has

Recently a , paranoiac demanded

around, tor they are very skilful In

This Is not unusual. The popular

of vengeance upon unknown' or
strange persons is nursed, arranged

thought of a great executive. David ' .

Real disorders of the nerves, how-.
ever, cannot be so successfully con-.'
cealed as lunacy. The ' difference
between the doctor's guess' that you'
are a "neurasthenic" or' '.'bundle of
nerves" and the actual affection of
nerve tissue Is open '.and above .

True Injury to the nerves Is shown
by twitching of the muscles. There
may be tremors when the muscles
sre in motion or when at rest.
There are flblllary waves over the
tongue. There Is a tendency' of the
eyes to be crossed or one eyelid to
droop more than another.
The eyes may be .abnormally
bright or dull. The handwriting
exhibits vibrations and oscillations. t

eyes falls to contract them. Park-:

But many of the alleged "nervous
Bttacks," neurasthenias, and the
large host of so-called neurotic and

disturbances have no more .to do
with the nerves, brain and spinal '

Such maladlea are caused by

Is called dl-lodo-dlhydroxy-indol.

, This new discovery of Professor

.Is expected to , lead very shortly to
the Invention of chemistries that:
win not only cure doctors of wrong
