There has been an interesting mixture of coat lines in the autumn and winter collections

shown by the important Society of London Fashion Designers. The bulky awasxor-type coat is less important than it was last year. the straight rout has returned. and there is it great feeling for fitting redingote stylel. Somo of the last mentioned were shown for formal afternoon and evening wear and were emphasized by their brilliant linings. An ef- fective entrance for the man- nequin is to walk demuroly Into a salon in it black velvet cost with a very full skirt. and then sud- denly throw one side open to re- veal a scarlet lining to vivid that it makes the spectators almost blink. A good many of the short full costs worn over suits are also lined in this way. and since there are signs that the straight and narrow silhouette may be giving way to the full skirt and tight fitting jacket by tho middlo of summer. 1952..it will be interest- ing to no how women feel about those very full skirted jackets this autumn. . .

While "itis" at the end of a word means "inflammation of." in the case of colitis (inflammation of the lining of the colon) it really means irritation of. rather than the true inflammation with tem- perature and pus which is called ulcerative colitis.

Most of these cases of simple colitis do not. result in severe ill- ness. nevertheless it is a mental

ls troubled with diarrhoea at times and other times by spastic consti- pation. While infection and eating rough or raw foods do irritate the colon and cause symptoms mentioned above, physicians are now agreed that the great. majority of cases of simple or mucous colitis are caused by emotional disturbances. In American Medical Journal. Dr. T. P. Almy reports experimental studies on 50 healthy persons and loo persons with irritable colon who were studied by direct obser- vation of the colon by means of the proctoscope and by use of an instrument. (lrymoscope) which re- cords the pressure in a rubber or latex balloon in the lower colon at the same time as the person or pat- ient is interviewed concerning his feelings and observation of ex- pressions of emotions. Stress (emo- tional stress) was brought on in some by 3. band in ice water or compression of the head with a metal band. Disturbance in the mobility or movements of the colon are formed regularly in associa- tion with conflicts between feelings of hostility and resentment and feelings of guilt and self-reproach. A striking finding from these ex- periments. convincingly demonstra. ted. is that. an increase in tone or strength of the contractions In the lower or lowest end of the colon

spoken or public display of hostil-

ity and aggression while a decrease in tone or strength of the con-

feat. which prevents wastes through the

couragemcnt. hopelessness and de-
