Poiret Shows Winter Styles At Summer Resorts In France PARIS. (AP) The Paris dress- maker is like the mountain which went to Mohammad when Moham- med ceased going to the mountain. When clients have deserted Paris the dressmaker goes in search of them at the resorts where they are in va- cation to display his wares.

Both her own rec- extraordinary succeu. Plenty ' of Americans were inclined to wonder at it. and to question if she had not been exceptionally favored by weather conditions. Nor is the dis- cussion out of place since it is per- tinent to know exactly what luck and what adventitious aid she may have received. Both re own rec- ords and those of other swimmers must be considered in the light of such information. Nevertheleu it does not appear that meantime osniu the least. 697 gree be accused of unsportsman- ship. It was admitted at the time of her swim that she had enjoyed favorable conditions of wind and tide. That was her good luck. It may be also that the tugs that ac- companied her were able to protect her against wind and waves more than the smaller craft that have ac- companied some swimmers can. Yet even tugs could afford scant protec- tion against a boisterous channel. Moreover. tugs are not barred by the rules of channel swimming. Presumably Miss Ederle. fest swimmer as she is. could not have lowered the channel record by more than two hours if good luck and skillful ttentlon had not been hers. But it i remains that her success is attributable to her extraordinary pluck. speed and endurance and she deserves full credit for her victory. Lees Need of Poorhonses. (Middletown Press) There is a growing opinion that the time is not far distant when it will be wiser for the towns to give up their poorhouses and have but one poorfarm in each county. e is a certainty that in the next on years there will be less demand upon the poorhouses. Two' recent changes make for this. One Is the country's immense prosperity the other is the restriction of undesir- able ailen entry. European countries frequently shipped their “no-ace counts" over here in the old days. Connecticut received much more than its share of these unfortungteg beca New York would pan them slou‘ us. That is all impouible now. ' e last oiiicial report in 1nd. showed only 1.10: paupers in the town almshouses as compared with 1.3“ in 1910.

(New models Day) During the merry month of Act Olive Roberts Barton’s COLUMN [T's WORK, NOT WANTING, WINS It is all very well to whistle to keep up one's courage, but a. blare of brass horns is not essential to our altering the arcnh of success. Boys and girls who have finished college and are starting out for themselves need have no qualms be- cause llley come unannounced. If they see clearly. know what they are going to do, and slick to it. there isn't any great doubt of success sooner of later. The Fokker plane. the "Josephine Ford." went quietly to the Pole and back. Commander Byrd knew he was going. quietly worked and planned for it for months and did it quite its successfully as the Norse. which the press bad advertised from the time it was a blueprint. Clarabeibjarreit smiled at the publicity given other American swimmers. “I've been training all my life." she said quietly. "I should be able to do that." Without any bid for distinction in swimming the channel. she slid into the water and broke the record for women. to that dale. . We pay too much attention to re- sults. Successful precedents may be m. iltr‘w'llll‘llxlll); as they are inspir- ing. We pay too little attention to ullori. Could we look into stuffy offices. hot roaring mills. and back street shops. we might find more real in- splratlon than in the biographies of steel magnates. railroad presidents and successful bankers. The thou- sands of embryo successes in process of consummation are as obscure now. most probably. as the desert flowers. I never believed much in the last part of the old saw about greatness. There may be some who have it thrust upon them, but not enough to take the breath to say it. Singleness of purpoae and hard work seldom meet with failure. Sin- glenesa of purpose may branch and flcwer when it reaches the bearing stage. That takes care of itself. Young people starting on careers need not be discouraged because the horn announces that another winner has crossed the line. Some day each one can say. “I can do that! I have been preparing for it all my life." Before they know it they are in the winning class themseles.
