HERE I show you a couple or tne
new coau with hoods. The
largest figure li a roomy, com
forUbla and oeful garment, which, at
the same time, hat all the charm of a
walking dress. Notice the arrangement
at ribbons m front The hood can, If
It is desired, be dipped entirely orer
the charming little "topper" and then
these ribbons tied in place around the
face.
The little picture show a back view
ot this same coat and reveals how the
hood falls when sot in use.
The last photograph 1s one of the
hood coau with the hood to place.
This Is one1 whole combination coat,
shaped somewhat like a suit la this

do you have use for hoods la walking,
but when you do need them you seed
them badly. Oa the other hand, these
garments are wonderfully adapted for
motoring or for any outdoor sports .la

As In all of women's clothes, there

longer is a coat simply a coat to be
thrown on as necessity demands look

Is a creation eomethlng that while
useful, must also be 'beautiful, and, as
I have said, Individual.

Next, a bottle freen valour actually
dispenses with fur altogether, its hfcfh
' collar being kept la position, high
about the wearer's chin, by two big
amber buttons, and the belt taking the
quaintest one-elded curve In front after

most reaching to the collar at the back.
To make up for this deprivation, how
ever, another model of dahlia purple

a half yards at the hem. and Is there

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!
A quaint scheme there Is, too. In a
coat of purple valour, which la deeply
bordered at the hem with a band of
seal musquash, though Its encircling
career la divided and disguised at the
Sides by a wM, loosely hanging panel
ot plain cloth, beneath which the waist
band le alee assed. Caffs and collar,
too, there are of the same adaptable and
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 relour and
mole fur.
Another and quite pleasant possibility
for the woman who wantsor Is rather
compelled to be economical Is the coat
of ponyskln cloth, which Is such a real
litre and. Incidentally, raln-reslstlng
substitute for the actual fur, skunk
or opossum being generally used for Its
trimming, and being Its worthy match,

Then, as regards the fur coats, their
very latest and most decorative devel

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,

How You Can Tell When
There's Something Wrong
With Your Nerves
By Dir. Leonard Hirshberg, A. B., M. A., D.
WHEN a doctor Is unable to
put the blamp 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.
If you go to tweoty doctors, an'
each in turn tells you that your a y,
ment is something of this sort, &
iy I, go to a twenty-flrst or even a
fiftieth until you find a physician
lio Is capable of telling you hon
estly what Is, actually the matter
with yoti.
Socrates set the pace for such
carelessness, when he said, "See one
promontory, one mountain, one sea,
one river, and see all." As a mat
ter of fact, there are no two things
alike tinder the sun, and Individuals,
like diseases, all differ.
There are, however, many real
maladies ot the nerves, brain and
spinal cord. Ffb, moreover, has a
name fir more exact titan the words
"nervous." "neurotic" or "neurss
ihenlc "
Many doctors are like Juries.
Thev Ignore the foot-rules and yard
sticks, which are at' hand to give a
precise 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 le
nervous, they are keen to agree with
dim instead of applying the meas
urements which knowledge has
liven
Recently a paranoiac demanded
to be taken fro man Insane hospital
snd tried before a Jury as to his
sanity Psychiatrists who know the
tests which reveal paranoia pro
nounced him a paranoiac. Para
noics are dangerous to those
. around, for they are very skilful In
concealing their delusions.
(Johns Hopkins University).
But the Jury said he was sane and
set him free. Three days later the
"sane" man killed a mother and her
three children.
This Is not unusual. The popular
opinion ' is that a person must
either "peculiar," "eccentric." In a
fine frenzy, maniacal or melancholic
to be crazy.
Strange as' It may seem, the most
dangerously insane persons do not
have their Intelligence disturbed a
hit. The hidden, unspoken delusion
ot vengeance upon unknown or
strange persons Is nursed, arranged
and -directed with the stcill and fore
thought of a great executive. David
Oraham Phillips and President Will
lam McKlnley were shot by such
maniacs.
Real disorders of the nerves, how
ever, cannot be so successfully con-
reeled as lunacy. The difference
between the doctor's guess that you
are a "neurasthenic" or "bundle of
nerves" snd the actual affection ot
nerve tissue Is open and above
board.
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.
Light flashed Into the pupils of the
eyes falls to contract them. Dark
ness ,hss no effect to make them
dilate.
If a crack across the front of the
knee falls to make the leg Jerk. It
means serious changes In the sense
nerves or -the beck of the spinal
cord. Locomotor ataxia, diabetes,
lead poisoning, alcoholic poisoning
and paresis are a few of the nerve
degenerations whioo a' "wse
symptoms.
When the tongue Is poked out'and
poes . more to one side than the
other; when you can laugh only on
one side of the face: when one arm
or leg Is shorter, shrunken or slight
ly, doubled up: when the 'gait be

the nerves are present.
A stamping gait: keeping the eyes
always on the ground: rigidity and
stiffness in the muscles; facial
paralystr; telegraphers', piano play,
ers'. writers' and typists' finger and
hand palsies; strokes of paralysis;!
drop-foot all these are due to nervt
changes.
But many of the alleged "nervous
attacks." neurasthenias, and the
large host of 'so-called neurotic and
Imaginary or functional nervous
disturbances have no more .to do
with the nerves, brain and spinal
cord than they have to do with the
tone or gristle.
Such maladies are caused by
chemical eubstances, one of which
Is called dl-lodo-dl-hydroxy-fndol,'
Just discovered by Professor Ken-'
dall, the physiological chemist, as'
the source of activity of the magical
thyroid gland. When these cheml
cals from the thyroid, thymus, ad
renal and other of the many human
glands flow too freely or too abua
dantly, or. on the other hand, to
slightly, odd feelings and surglngs,
overpowering emotions rush like
torrents upon the senses, and you'
sre undone and not yourself until
they are corrected.
This new discovery of Professor
Kendall, who Is the Isboratory man
at the great Mayo brothers' clinics.
Is expected to lead very shortly to
the Invention of chemistries that!
will not only cure doctors of wrong
M blaming the nerve for so-called
"neurasthenia." but will also curei
the victims of these emotional drj
rangemenu.
