Across the river lies the
Kazan Cathedral, built in 1811.
After Napoleon, it became a
monument to Russian military
glpry. It is excellent in archi-
tectural form, In 1929 it was
closed, to be reopened in 1932
as what the Soviet citizens
themselves call an anti-
religious museum. It remains
so. Like the former chapel at
Peterhof!, newly gilded and
turned into a post office, it is
no longer used for worship.
Strangely intermingled are
the new and the old in Lenin-
grad, which still preserves its
history. There is more than

though that may be part of,it.
It is part of Russian love of
motherland, a real emotion,
true again to the ancient tra-
dition of these people. As tin-

pose in the Communist state.

Little girls' clothes have
changed radically over the past
hundred years, When Victoria
was Queen of Ragland the fash-
ion for small girls was petticoats
and more petticoats, hoop,
skirts, pinafores, pantalets,
flounces and tucks. Everybody,
including mother, wore dressy
and dirt -catching clothes. For-

About the turn of the cen-
tury, children began to dress
more as they do now. Boys
wore knee -pants or knickers,
and long black stockings. Girls'
dresses were embroidered and
be -sashed... and middies and
skirts came into fashion. In
fact, middies and skirts and
tunics and white blouses have
been accepted as the standard
apparel for schoolgirls ever
since.
The school uniform is even
more popular today than it was
fifty years ago, perhaps be-
cause fabrics have undergone
such changes. One man-made

broadcloth that stays sparkling
white and hardly ever wrinkles.

The NES urges parents and
others interested to use their in-
fluence to keep young people in
school until graduation. If a
young person is already a "drop-
out", it is important to encour-
age him to return to school.
The demands of employers are
more exacting today; job re-
quirements usually call for se-
condary school graduation and
often for specialized training as
well. Moreover, NES reveals
that surveys show a direct re-

Mirror
Of Personality
For many women, the fash-
ion signature of fall and every
season is a piece of jewelry--
eomething she enjoys wearing
constantly, that reflects her
design preference as well as
her personality. A woman roan
acquire her aura bf individu-
ality when she combines the
"just right" apparel With her
favorite jeweled piece.
How is signature jewelry
selected? Should it be; a pin,
earrings, a bracelet or perhaps
a pendant? Wearability with a
wide range of apparel is the
key. '
Choice of metal is import-
ant. Should it be white,or yel-
low? The jewelry a woman
Owns and wears' such as her
diamond engagement ring,
wedding band and watch, are
sound guides.
Generally, it's best to match
metals in pins acid earrings,
rings and bracelets, since they
are worxi near each other.
Matching and mating metals
is a major problem only ,when
jewelry pieces are worn• close
together.
Pins are practical and pre-
ferred by many women. A pin
has a 24-hour life as a focal

New Styles
Maternity clothes are cas-
ually chic forday and elegant

needs of changing figures:

ed and sharply pleated at all
tunes. Schoolgirls can look irrr
maculate all day long with so
little effort, thanks to easy -
care materials.
Styles are being streamlined
too. Edith Werner of Toronto
has turned her dress designing
talent to school tunics. Aware
of the fact that children seem
to grow "right before your eyes'.
Mrs. Werner decided to prolong
the life of the tunic by conceal-
ing an extra size in it.
At a glance it looks like a
square -necked tunic with a box -
pleated skirt. However, each
shoulder seam is neatly folded
an inch toward the front. , then
secured with two decorative but-
tons. As the child grows,mother
simply has to remove the but-
tons, thereby releasing the fold.
This not only lengthens the gar-
ment one inch, it also deepens
the armhole. The waistline
isn't affected, because the bod-
ice has a long belted torso. Of
course, the hem can also be let
down.
To allow for additional girth,
Mrs. Werner devised a clever
closing. A deep fly -front runs
from the lower left-hand corner
of the square neck to the top of
the pleated skirt. However, in-
stead of single buttonhole, two
buttonholes are provided, one
along -side the other about an
inch apart. The inner one is cut
for use; the outer one is a "stand.
by", to be cut later when an-
other inch is needed at the chest
and waist.
This tunic by Edith Werner is
called "Eevee". It will appeal
to girls for it has trim, flatter-
ing lines. It will also appeal to
thrifty mothers who wish to save
not only cleaning bills, but also
the cost of a new tunic.

Measles Dangerous
Childhood Disease
Measles is one of the most
• angerous of childhood epidemic
diseases, largely because of the
severe complications that may
occur. Moreover, an adult who
somehow escapes it in childhood
may contract it. More than
400, 000 cases are reported every
year, with deaths running one in
about 1, 100.
In its initial stages, the di-
sease begins like the common
cold, with sneezing and red and
watery eyes, These symptoms
appear 10 or 11 days after ex-
posure. The eyes ache and are
sensitive to light. There may
be a hoarse, dry cough and a
sore throat with congestion of
the tonsils.
Three or four days after the
appearance of the cold symp-
toms rash develops, first on the
face and then on the trunk, arms,
and legs. Reddish white areas,
called Koplik's spots, named
for a New York physician who
identified them, appear on the
inside of the cheek and lips and
are a clue to the diagnosis of
easles even before the rash ap
ears.
The disease is caused by a
irus, an organism so small that
it cannot be seen with the ordin
ary microscope.
While the mortality rate fro
measles itself is low, the death
rate is higher among patients
who develop serious complica-
tions such as encephalitis, pneu
monia, and, rarely, infections
of the digestive tract. Once th
child's body is weakened from
the measles attack, there is sus-
ceptibility to germs like the
streptococcus, pneumococcus,
influenza virus, and the organ-
isms responsible for meningitis.
The brain may be seriously af-
fected, a complication which is
believed due to a reaction to th
measles virus.
The measles patient should
be under supervision of a physi-
cian at all times. The advent
of antibiotic drugs have rendere,
the complications incident to
1'
measles less serious. Yet, it
must be remembered that more
than 90 per cent of the measles
death rate is attributed to a re-
sultant pneumonia.
The very nature of the numer-
ous complications and serious af-
ter-effects of measles should be
efficient warning to every par-
ent to see that good convalescent
care is provided. Strict adher-
ence to the advice of the family
physician should accompany ef-
forts to keep the child comfort-
able and amused during his per-
iod of isolation.
Other children who have not
had the disease previously should
be kept from the patient, nomat-
ter how bitter the complaint of
loneliness. It is good practice
to isolate the patient from child
'contacts. Quarantine on the
remainder of the family is no
longer generally recommended.
The incidence of the disease
follows closely the season of
the common cold, so parents
should be alert to the symptoms.
The child should be put to bed
and the family physician called
at once.
Because of the mortality rate
in children under five, it is im-
perative to prevent measles, if
possible, in all under that age.
Immune gobulin given early in
the incubation period prevents
or lightens the attack and might
prevent complications,
So-called diseases are not
harmless, The young body does
not always have the strength to
withstand invading germs. Pur-
suing good health practices in
the family provides the best in-
surance for a child's development
into a healthy adult.
