THE ASBSVrLLK CITIZEN, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 1920.
DRESS
BY ANNE RITTENH OUSli
TtiM-e Is strong attempt made to I
brliiR back Uo dooolletae or the1
empire as a decided rhanno from the
round and square uei kllno, and It is
tn keeping with the slender bodices'
und ruffled skirts.

its prestige. Always the court puii
RorJ tli a deep, round decullotagc
which exposed the shoulders as well ua
the neck and chest.
U wax those empresses of the
Kronen, Josephine and Eugenic, who
'vi aniDhasized this deep decollPlage
on the niindR of the present genera
tion. We think of a bodice cut in ih!
fashion as n. symbol of tho llrsl mid
second ompress under the two Napo
leons, yet the exquisite Kllzabeth of i
Austria who was killed sponsored thin I
decolletage and it remains in the mom- j
oi v of those who saw hsr exposing the
loveliest shoulders in Europe: dead!
white shoulders that brilliantly con
trasted with a mass of auburn hair
that had no rival among her col-'
leagues or even among her peasants.
hair which she had dried strand by j
strand to keep each hair intact.
Kven prudish Queen Victoria, con- !
bervative to the core, permitted her- j
self, and demanded of her ladies, that ;
they adopt this decolletagc, and thej
lovely Danish Alexandria adopted it
in thefieyday of her beauty and fame j
Somehow, for soma reason, it fell i
away from popularity during the days
when royalty commanded, fashions.. It i
may be that never apaln will a queen
impress the world with anything she
does or says. Certainly, fhe will not!
lead in fashions: she has not done that
for a decade. So it Is of its own voli
tion, or rather, through the desire of!
the dressmakers, that the decolletage j
of royalty has come into fashion dur-1
ing a violet revulsion toward repun-Ik-ism.
Jt suits the flounced skirts, the slen
der bodices and the bare arms of the
present fashion. Whether women will
adopt it is not for tho observer to!
prophesy. It is here, It is a fashion.
It is exploited by the best dressmakers, i
It does not suit the hnopsklrt; it is j
part of tho Spanish Influence and It :
is modeled after the fashions seen in i
the Spanish portraits. It is not essen
tially youthful. .That may be a quality
against It in this country.
There are certain ways of arrang
ing it, as Josephine did, which gives
ono an infantile appearance, hut when
the beryia is added to it, after the
fashion of Eugenie and Victoria, and
Elizabeth of Austria, there comes
upon it a high dignity, a sedateness
that robs it of youth.
Naturally, the dowagers will like
the fashion. So will those who have
old lace berthas to use up, for when
women possess old lace they have a
passion for displaying it, regardless
of its element of attractiveness. If the
royal decolletage comes into full fash
ion, or even If H only makes a timid
appearance In the best society, rest
assured there will be a hundred or

Save the Babies
INFANT MORTALITY ii something- frightful. We can hardly realise that
of all the children born in civilised countries, twenty-two per -cent.,
or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach on year; thirty-eeven
per cent, or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-hall before
tbey are fifteen I
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save
many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotio preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain
more or less opium or morphine. Tbey are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger in the use of Cas
toria If it bears the signature oi ens, a. Matcher

Are You1 One
of the
Readers?
Since the influenza epidemic broke out, records show that
the majority of the people are reading more than usual. If
you are one of these, you should be sure to have a good light,,
so as not to hurt your eyes. A Mazda globe will give a fine
light for reading, and if it is in an electric table light, it will
also improve the beauty of the home. We have all designs. "
