London, March 1--- Cloche hats were attacked on medical grounds by Sir Robert - Armstrong-Jones, the famous physician, in a lecture qn "Clothes" at Gresham College. ; "In my opinion, the cloche hat is made much too tight," he said. "Apart from the tight hat and the exposure of the néck and chest, how- ever, there is little to be said against the sanitary and salutary way in which women dress today. "Women dress better. than men from the health point of view. Men grr in wearing woollen pyjamas at night. They should be made of either cotton or silk. Men's collars are worn to grip the neck too lightly, which is bad for the veins. The top- hat, the worst kind of headgear, has gone; I am glad to say, except at weddings and funerals. '"Women will never wear the 'per- fect' dress. They say it would be ugly and 'frumphish." * rere flifon King Victor Emmanuel, of Italy, is said to be the wealthiest reigning sovereign.

That scientists tell us it is not safe to carry dieting for "the slim boyish figure" too far without consulting a doctor, There are reasons for this warning that only medical men can give and it is said many women are laying up a middle age of ill-health by drastic measure. They should know how much they should weigh | before they try experiments. That, the future generation should be a healthy one. On every hand there are evidence that the world has awakened to the tremendous asset healthy people are to a community.

HER OWN WAY By a Girl of To-day. STARTED. When I said I was going to Chi- cago, it was this time that Chuck laughed. "You would rather go up against a wicked city than me, wouldn't you, Judy? When are you going? May I ask?" "Tomorrow morning, Chuck." "Well, if you're not home in a month or two T'll probably ™drop down to se® if you haven't changed your mind." "Don't put yourself out, Chuck," 1 answered casually, "and you'll have to excuse me now because I'm going home to pack up." I had all my packing done when Dad came home fhat night with a return ticket to Chicago. "Thank you, Dad," I said, "I'm all ready for the morning train. But why did you spend your money so foolishly?" I admonished as I held the return ticket up to him. "Because I expect you back within a month," he answered seriously. Pobr old Dad and Mother, They hated to see me go and to tell the truth I was a bit shaky, but I was determined to keep up my bluff and I knew if 1 stayed at home they would not let me out of their sight. At the last Mother clung to me saying: "Don't forget, child, to wear your heavy boots if it rains and wrap up warm if you go out at night. The evenings in Chicago are very cold." Mother was heartbroken but she 'any liberty whatever, 'sugar and pepper and cover closely. ' had lived under Father's will for so long that she had no idea of what getting out on my own would mean to me. She had nothing to advise me about or éven tell me except a few foolish details of physical care for my health. 2 I tRought there was 4 tear in Dad's eye as I raised my face to kiss him goodbye, but his -mouth was stern even when he spoke Iris last | words to me, which were: "Don't lose your return ticket." As I watched them~from the win- dow before The train started, I had a little gqualm. I wondered if it wouldn't be better to stay at home with them even if I did have to give ap my ideas about my own way or "When I have children," I said to myself, "I .will never expect them to go back to my ways which are dead and gone, but I'll try to travel on to the new ways with them."
