Needn’t Bust The Budget

‘Separates’ ‘Provide One Thrifty Idea

By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov, 10—-You can buy a 1947 wardrobe without bust- |

ing the budget. The smart shoppers in a New York store's fashion department

proved that this week-end. Similar new-as-paint clothes at approximately ‘the same prices should be available to equally clever shoppers in every town in-the ¢ountry. Some of their high fashion ideas, with consumer-fashion price tags: | Dress for day in a fullflared brown and blue ‘twéed skirt (about $16) |

with a natural cashmere sweater |

(about $19 if there isn't one in the drawer) and warm the whole thing

up with a long tassel-edged blue} jersey stole that will do double duty’

on other costumes (about $18).

Dress up in budgetable separates. |

There's a circular royal blue faille skirt with a corded hem (about $11) that's equally danceable under a deep madonna necklined black sweater (about $8) or a similar bare-throated black lace . blouse (about $20). |

Slip a Petticoat Beneath Full-Skirted Frocks

topaz satin suit with a black-but-toned, high-necked jacket, a ull ballet-length skirt of unpressed | pleats hemmed with four wide .ucks! of itself (about $70) | To show off your “leftover” fewels! there's a basic black with.a high neckline, long sleeves and a skirt gathered all around below ts. dia-mond-edged hip yoke (about $24). lip a petticoat under all the full-|

whirl, mately.) For top-of-the-closet - dansinyg honors try another shortie—brown taffeta with an off-shoulder; tucked fichu neckline that forms a cape in back (under $40). Wear it with bronze pumps Instead of a fur coat, try a neckpiece with a matching mufl (about $30 to $100 each depending "n the fur). For hats, pick the versatile caplet, in a variety of materials, ‘asy to spike up with a feather or dower (starting under $3),

Chairs Accent That Slump

THE most cruel advertisement of a woman's age is a sitting position which suggests that she has stopped caring how she loeks, All too familiar is that half-re-clining, sitting position in a low-

slung, comfy ehair. Sitting fig such “a chair takes” the sternest self-discipling to keep a, skirt

from hiking up, abdomen and bust froin loéming prominently. y ” » . IF A woman can't discipline her posture while sitting in’ this type of chair, she should pass it up. To resist the temptation to slump in it, she needs to keep her lower back firmly braced against the ! back of the chair, to extend her legs at a right angle with her | spine, to put feet squarely down on the floor and keep ankles (ogether. That's sitting prettythat suggests youth woman grows, the less she can afford to slump. It's much more shocking for an older woman to | show her lingerie or kneecaps than. it is for a young woman

[Infections

Early Treatment Is Necessary

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D. VIRUSES cause a different va-

iriety of infection than bacteria. A

single virus produces only one disease, but the infection may appear in one of several forms. Viruses cannot be seen under the ordinary microscope as they are too small. Today, with the development of high-speed centrifuge and the electron microscope, viruses can be photographed and their appearance studied. Their presence is suspected in patients when ordinary -bacteria cannot be found. When a virus enters the body and sets up an infection, it does so by penetrating the body . cells, as ft cannot exist outside living tissue.

|One unusual theory, at the present

time, is that the common ‘cold virus
