MISS KITTY SMITH IN HER
HUNT CLOTHES,

Listen, good people, and you
shall hear of the daylight ride of
Miss Kitty Smith of Philadelphia.
They say old Phillie is slow, but
surely they didn't mean in the
matter of clothes - women's
clothes. This is a picture OF
Miss Smith taken the other day
when they had a cross-country
ride in the gay old town. Her
costume is the very latest thing
for society women who ride
horseback and sit a-straddle
Miss Smith is wearing the cutest
pair of Atwood knickerbockers
with leggings just like the chauf-
feurs wear.
Her hat is the latest thing, too.
1t has the broad-brim effect that
is common on Fifth avenue in
New York and other places wIere
the best mems clothes are worn.
The overgarment on Miss Smith
is something else that's peculiar.
It's the only article of feminine
wear Miss Smith puts on when
she goes a riding. Paul Revere
did some riding once on a time,
but it's safe guess that he
didn't cause half as much ex-
element as Miss Smith would
cause If she rode down Chestnut
street in Philadelphia with her
saddle uniform on.

covered 1t.

Just what to do when the kid
neys are affected, is question
that concerns both young and old.
Weak kidneys neglected in child
hood lead to lifelong suffering.
People of advanced years, with
less vitality, suffer doubly. In
youth or age, languor, backache,
urinary irregularity, dizziness and
nervousness make life burden.
There IL one remedy that acts
directly on the kidneys and cures
these troubles. Doan's Kidney

to the fact that they cure sick
