33??” Fashion Designers Tum Practical

(By Nadeans Walker)

PARIS, Nov. 8-(AP)-At last Paris designers seem to be worry- ing about wearability.

Judged by the Just-finished rnid-season collections. they can no longer be accused of going to foolish extremes. In fact. com- pared wlth an ordinary season, the new fashions are just plain tame. Fashion writers looking for sensational new trends got very little to go on. There were

no really shocking novelties to report. In general. the mid-season clo-

thes carry on the trends of the autumn. perhaps best. personified by Dior's simple. wearable dress- es. His moderately flared skirts have gained influence. though some designers still prefer vol- uminous ones. The high. prim uid proper neckline has not been held.

The mid-season designs have let necklines dip deeply enough to please lovers of generous de- colletege. Black rcmairg the no. 1 color choice.

In a nutshell, here is what the different houses showed:

Lanvin-Full skirts; huge bows for trimming. some half-looped in a "riding crop” effect; jewelled corselcts for evening; "skylight" triangles cut out below the nor- mal ncckline; nearly everything in hlricir.

Fath-Evening sheaths nearly as tight as mummy wrnppings; prime jackets over saucy strap- less tops; hip drapery; over-all simplicity and far fewer details and trimmings than usual with Fath.

Scliiaparclli-Simple day dress- es. scarcely trimmed at all; low! rnundcd cocktail neckiines: lots of black satin; brilliant accom-

panying hues: concertina hats and big droopy velvet berets.

Maggy Rouff-Gold brocade for- mal fabrics, and glittering jew- elled hats and trimmings; many strapless and ankle-length dan- cing dresses; drapery gathered to the back: more and more ample skirts; corselet belts.

film Export Aid To Young Mothers

TORONTO. Nov. I-(CF)-For hundreds of expectant mothers Toronto's pre-natal classes have become almost as important as knitting baby sweaters and hem- niing diapers.

Sponsored by the Toronto Wei- fare Council, the c6urses were first started in 1944. They grew out of a feeling among public health nurses that there was a need for more pre-natal education among young women; that in ad- dition to teaching new mothers how to care for their baby they also should be taught something about their own diets.

While pre-natal instruction is given new mothers in other cities. the Toronto course is believed the only one in which both nutrition- Lots and public health nurses do the teaching. The importance of proper diet before and after birth is one of the main tiiinga empha- szzed in the lectures.

To date 5.000 women at one time or another have attended the Toronto courses. So far this year 900 have registered.

Held in churches, hospitals- wherever space is available-the lectures are given in 10-week courses with approximately 25 wo- men to a class.

Variety Of Topic!

How the baby grows. hygiene of pregnancy, foods for mother aniil baby. are among topics discussed. How to bathe and dress the baby also is demonstrated and equip- ment for the baby displayed.

"One value of the course is that it gives the new mother actual information about what's going to happen to licr." said Constance Gray. nursing consultant for the maternal and child hygiene divis- ion of the Toronto Health Depart- merit.

Another value is that the new

mother isn't as timid about asking for information when she finds herself in a class with 25 others facing the same problems she is herself. Finally, it's not just young ex- pectant mothers who attend these classes. Grandmothers come to learn new methods of infant care. I-"oster mothers attend to learn the technique of handling their new charges.

THERE tVlLL ALWAYS BE A PLACE IN IIIEDICINE FOR THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN

A recent article in one of our medical journals pointed out the great help the laboratory. the X- ray and other special departments of our hospitals give to the proc- tising physician. making known to him in a matter of minutes. or hours. at most, whether or not his diagnosis of a case is correct. These aids also usually give the correct or nearly correct diagnosis.

It is certainly true that the lab is very valuable to patient and physician; besides making more sure of the diagnosis. it saves a lot of valuable time for them

For Tomorrow

THE augury is for a strange. perplexing and confused state of affairs. It is probable that inti- mate private matters involving the emotions and inner urges could beget. peculiar or perplexlns situations. Perhaps the "love life' is involved. spurring to inexplic- able sensations. stimuli. and er- ratic impulses. giving rise to harsh words. cruel suspicions. heart- achee. regrets. Even business mat- tetra may suffer weird crises or

problems. For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are urged to take themselves in hand.' objectively and profoundly. since quixotic or even sinister compul- sion; may dominate all activities plans and contacts. Most unhap- PY. deplorable and regrettable crises could arise from unaccount- able mental and emotional "flights of fancy.” Keep sane under stress and tension. or unaccountable emotions.

A child born on this day. prone to erratic and peculiar impulses and emotions. should receive early, sympathetic and intelligent guid- ance.

you can decide. If she is selfish and self-centered. demanding con- stant attention from those around her. unwilling to give in on any point. trivial or otherwise. she is a bad matrimonial risk.

Very often a pampered girl changes completely with the respons- ibilities of wife and mother. You must study the cltnrttcicr of your fiancee very carefully and see if she gives any indication of future change. It's hard to judge sometimes. How docs she behave with her family? And with yours? If she can be considerate and thought- ful with othcrs. she probably will change. If. however. hcr life is built cntircly around the almighty "I". you had better think nhout switching.
