EBGOTAMINE TABTBATE MOST EFFECTIVE DRUG FOR ONE- SIDED HEADACHE

one of 'the meanest aiknents that afflicts mankind. particularly women. is migraine, or one-sided headache. This headache is usual- ly, but not alwayys. accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

For many years. in fact until recently, there was no effective treatment for migraine. the PN- lent quietly resting in a darkened room for ii day or several days until the attack passed over. This rest of mind and body is always good treatment but every patient cannot follow this rest treatment. Several years ago it was found

that an ergot preparation. ergot- amine tartrate tirade name. gyriergen) was effective in giving

relief from the symptoms within a few hours at most and this has become the specific treatment for migraine. Dr. Mary O'Sulllvan was one of the first pfhysiclans to re- port a large series of cases re- lieved by ertrotamlne tartrate.

As ergotaniine tarlrate can be taken by mouth in tablet form. most physicians, once they find the amount of the drug that will give relief. allow the patients to treat themselves and only rarely has it been necessary to supervise taking the drug.

In The Journal of the American lfezlil-nl As-nciation. hrs. Marvin Fuchs and Lester S. Bliitnenbhal. War-l1iii:,'ton. D. C.. state that most patients with migraine can take emotaniine safely. as it has no side eflests or reactions. This state- ment is siibstaiitintod by numerous iristanrcs of priticnls iakiniz large doses witlicut harm. Thus. in Medical Clinics cf North America, Dr, T.

Fair Play

When iihe coast of Florida was sparsely populated and hurricanes wrecked sailing vessels on its shores. the people of the towns would hurry Ollt and ”szilvag.e" all they could from damaged vessels.

One Sunday. :1 small boy dashed into the church service to announce that another ship had just been beached. The coiigi-egation dashed like a tidal wave for the doors, when the preacher liitoned pointl- flcally. "Wait I have but eight more words to say to you."

The impatient people shuffled restlessly, while the preacher walked to the door. Placing his hand on the door-knob. he said: "Now. let us all get a fair start."

Hell bridge is a nanrow artific- ial bridge thrown across I deep chasm in the Highlands of scot- land. The path across it is so nar- row that only one person at a time may cross over. At the height of the clan feuds two sworn en- cmles met on this bridge and fought it out. They were a well

This prodigious pie was made by Mrs. Dorothy Patterson. housekccper at I-lorwick. It was 9 feet in circumference and weigh- ed about l2 stones.

Talk about cu-rious mechanism among the ancients - Archytas made a wooden pigeon, which flappcd its wings like a real one: Myrmicides made a chariot out of ivory. so small that a com- mon house fly could cover it.

Embroidery Used For Party Gowns In Paris Style:

By Horence Mill!

PARJB. Dec. 26 - (AP) - Party dresses designed for the festive season by French couturlers vary a lot in style. but all have one thing in common-plenty of em- broidery in every shape or form.

In addition to the usual sequins. pearls, jet beads and mock diam- onds. two extra novelties have been introduced this winter-em- broldery with wool and tufts of

ur. Schtaparelll plasters tufts of grey squirrel fur all over a tight fitting jacket made of cha,ynp38M' colored satin which has a fluted peplum exterrdlngintothe ground- length tails at the back. She speckles the fur tufts with pearls and sparkling rhinestones and smothers the space between the autumn embroidered in silk and gold thread.

Jacques Gi-lffe goes in for wool flowers. He makes a strapless num- ber ln smoke grey tulle, which has about a dozen circular skirts piled on top of each other, and veils the whole affair with white shadow lace sputtered llbcrally with flow- ers embroidered in shaded grey wool. with jet and mock diamonds.

Both long and short evening dresses are popular this winter but both are split. into two distinct classes-those with crlnoline or boiiffant skirts that eat up yards of materials and those with straight skirts that impede move- ment and show up all figure faults except slimness.

Glass Beads Used

Tulle. taffeta and satin are the main materials used. except for oc- casional lame or broche. In the main the luxurious look is in the embroidery more than the mater-

One of the most spectacular creations is shown by 25-year-old Alwynn. who embrolders black and white horse blanket check wool with gas bugle beads and jet stones. He uses it for a tight- waistcd evening coat with a skirt big enough to fit over the white tulle crlnoline set beneath it. The bold check wool is ylso used for the crlnollne bodice.

Another fabulous creation by Alwynn is a white stain strapless sheath which has so much bead fringe and chunks of glass dangling from its bodice it looks like it walking chandelier.

Jacques Griffe uses shaded chif- fon for a knife-pleated number which starts lime yellow at the waist and ranges through grey and peacock blue to petrol at the hemline. Another called "Noel" is in thin grey lace and has its bouffant skirt overlaid with shad- cd old gold and turquoise chiffon.

This designer also creates a snaky looking dress in rustling black tafeita and emphasizes its leanness by balancing a gigantic, two-foot long bow on one shoulder and another on the opposite hip- bone.

Wool At The cocktail Hour

Elegance, adaptability and ”chlc" have been the factors which have given the new fine woolen materi- als tlietr success in Paris this sea- scn. Unexpectedly. the "grands couturiers" have given wool an un- precedented place-not only for all the traditional uses.-sport street. travel-but now for the cocktail hour as well!

Never before has wool held such a prcminent place in the Collections of the French dressmakers. Per- haps the reason is that never be- fore has there been anything like the choice in texture and design in wool. Ranging from woolen cloth as fine and as light as real silk to a long-piled wool that looks like no- thing so much as a bearskin, de- signer and buyer alike have been W011.

And the proof or the excellence of this material is to be found in the fact that among the "ten best dressed" woolen cccktall ensembles have won high favvor-a thing that has never happened before, Absolutely new this year, and Winning great popularity, is the shimmering material - jersey lame. Sometimes a lovely mixture of gold and black. of silver and black. of champagne and brown, or just plain sold or rosy beige. this material is to be found in all'the great col- lections. Joan Desses. Marcel Rochas Maggy Rouff. etc. have given it a prominent position without hesita- tion. Lendlng itself to beautiful draping effects, it is equally suit. able for evening grown, dance skirt or the "sweater" type cocktail en. semble.

Schlanareli has presented a fas- cinating black wool lace in two models. one it particularly smart, afterncon dress worn over it found- atlon of lustrous white fallle which sets off the exquisite design; an. other in which the wool pattern is outlined in silver thread.

Among the greatest favorites are the cocktail gowns of black wm; Jersey. These are particularly shown in the collection of Robert Plquet. All are without sleeves and some leave the shoulders bare. The line of the skirt varies greatly. but mast are slim fitting to the knee and then voluminous, either through pleats or flares,
