We zee such people every day right
here In our city. ..-..
It Ia pitiful to see man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness. It does not make any diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vinol. ~
Vinol Is q scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. Itcontains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
Q highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is so well known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject.
We could quote many instances where
Vinol has done good; as an example,
here Ii one coming from Jane S. Fen.
fren, q prominent member of the w. G.
T. u, and resident of Suncook, N. Il.
She writes:
~ was run down, was in bed from
May to March. Was SO nervous and
sickly that every one thought was in
amost precarious condition. Ny weight
was reduced to 100 pounds. l was adj
vised to take Vinol, which l did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. As a rebuilder and
strength giver nothing can equal it.
Vinol is God-blessing to nybody."
Because Vinol is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sought-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that it is
better than any preparation of
cod-liver oil or tonic rebuilderwe
have ever had in our store.

pleats. over the shoulders and around the
back is a deep triple collar, the two lower
sections heavily stitched, the upper one en-
broidered and held by a stitched box pleat
that passes under the two lower collars
and continues down the blouse to the waist
line. Another feature of this form of blouse
is the soft black satin scarf that usually
passes around the throat and runs down
either side of the front box pleat. 1t is
slipped through broad eyelets in the goods
and terminates in loose, flowing ends. Two
dainty blouse notifications are shown here.
The left-hand one was snuff brown camel's
hair, with lace applique and white silk lac
ing. The other was bright red broadcloth,
lace covering the lower portion and appear
ing below the belt in hip pieces. Tucked
yoke, collar and drapery were white satin.
The vividness of some of the new reds is
distressing. and in this respect the greens
are worse. perhaps because golf has made
us familiar with brightness in reds and
s~carletS.
Since velvet is TO be stylish in many uses,
il will appear in modified Louis XIV coats.
One exquisite model gown had a hounced
skirt and a coat that suggested the Louis
model in its outlines and length, but it was
simpler and with fewer frills than is usual.
The garment was snug fitting, with the IA
miliar skirt that is slightly cut away at the
front, and included a narrow vest of en-
broidered white satin with plain, slightly
bell sleeves, while the neck was finished
with a high straight collar. The whole was
elegant. as velvet usually is, when treated
with simplicity and dignity. Beneath such
suits dainty waists of lace and chiffon will
be worn. Crepe de chine promises to be a
continued favorite and all delicate colors,
with much white, will be used. The waists
are tucked or plain. with shirt or bishop
sleeves, just as one chooses. Yokes have
appeared on some of the heavy waists, but
these will not become generally popular
until later in the season.
HandwOrk in tucks, herring-bone, embroi-
derry and applique still holds its own on
soft materials. Stitchings and stitched
bands are also stylish, but stitching in con-
trasting color is now considered a bit odd.
Silk in the color OF the goods or a shade
lighter or darker should be used for stitch
ing. Bands of broche and Dresden silks are
also used to trim many swagger fall gowns.

Skirts flare with all possible freedom

As a result there will be resort 10 circular

the knees and are attached 10 round elias
ties worn after the manner OF garters. Adj
ditional trimness of figure and minimum Of
weight are the advantages claimed. The
skirt itself is somewhat extreme and only
suited to tall figures with almost ideal lines.
This last contrivance savors OF the absurd
and it is not likely that women will give
up the swish of silken skirts, even to APP
pear wasplike. 1t may appeal TO stout wom-
en-, but it is not likely it will be generally
worn. Inset and inverted pleats are far
more graceful and will be generally popu-
lar.
