That's the Form That the Cor
rectly Dressed Woman Must
Show This Fall.
EDICT OUT AT CHICAGO
Chemise With Fancy Name Worn on
Outside to Give the Sought
After Effect.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-The fashion
ably dressed woman hereafter must
wear two chemises-one underneath
and one on top.
This is the latest dictum of those
who make clothes for women and
was exploited yesterday at the open
ing OF the annual convention Of the
Chicago Dressmakers' club.
Officially, the new idea is charac-
terized as the Greek Chiffon" but a
Partisan "artist" explained that this
appellation was used for the pur-
pose of making 1t go down easily.
much as a branded peach once
helped dose Of quinine. The thing
is really an outside chemise" and
has been invented to help out the
top end Of contraption just as new
which is known in the dressmaking
shop as the bolster slip" gown.
Follows Greek Era.
One of the star demonstrators at
the convention this year is Mrs. Mid
dleton, who has spent 16 years
studying how they create fashions in
Paris and clamp them on the rest
of the world
1.-THE outside chemise fastens on
the left shoulder" she said Its
the next thing after you leave a
Greek gown, you know, and happen
ed first back there with the early
Christians. They are to be made in
different lengths and of all sorts of
V11a oil re ha
dress, not a cloak or wrap of any
sort. They will be worn next week"
The bolster slip" gown, which is
coming right along, by the way, is
the definite outcome of the hobble |
skirt. Among real dressmakers, it |
seems, the hobble skirt never was,
isn't, and never will be, but it "cre-
ated a tendency" and the bolster !
slip" is a child Of that tendency.
How 1t Is Made.
To make a bolster slip" gown:
Anything will do for the neck,
yoke and sleeves. Take something |
you had last year and turn it.
For the remainder of the dress |
take n piece of cloth as long as you
are from under your arms to the top
of your shoes-and it's going to be
largely of some oriental stuff with
colors.
Next measure how much you are
around right under the arm pits and I
that's what the width must be. Cut
it square and then sew the edges to-
gether-sew 1t tight because-well,
it's got to be sewed tight.
Look Like stovepipe.
When it's finished it will look-if
you're slim-like a section of stove
pipe or an empty cream puff.
II you're fat don't make one.
To get into a bolster Slip
gown:
Stand the gown on the floor un-
derneath the chandelier. Use a small !
sized step ladder to get up above it.
Grasp the main part Of the chande-
lier firmly with both hands. Draw
the feet up to the arms then slowly
wriggle into the bolster slip" from
the top to the bottom.
Never sit down in bolster slip"
gown. There would be a report like
ripping, and it would
have to be sewed again.
The outside chemise" is to be
hung over the bolster Slip gown.
A glance in the mirror will show
perfect telegraph pole lines and you
are correctly dressed in the 1911

notified to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription Is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup Of Sarsaparilla. three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.

cases prove this simple mixture ef-
fective in Rheumatism. Because of
its positive action upon the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys. It compels
these most vital organs to filter from

cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the
kidneys. strengthens them and re-
moves quickly such symptoms az

as a gentle. thorough regulator to the
entire kidney structure.

EEL AND MAN IN
GRAPPLE TO DEATH
Snaky Object Gives Fisherman Bat
On Face But He Is Finally
Rescued


BLO0MF4IsIsD.1 IN j., July iS.--
Especially Tonski went out
fishing. paused on the bank OF the
Morris canal. and stood there dabbltng
around with his line and hook in the
water when John Fritz came along.
Fritz thought he would have little
fun with Tomski. He crept up behind
him and gave him a push that landed
the fisherman in the canal.
Just as he struck the water a big
eel came up to nibble at the hook.
Tomski grabbed the neck of the eel
with one hand. and snatched at the
fish line with the other, just like a
drowning man grabbing at straw. OF
course Tomski knew that he couldn't
pull himself out by a filn6y little fish
line, but he grabbed just the same,
and caught the hook In his thumb.
That put one hand out and the other
hand was in a death grapple with the
eel
Ii looked for a time like the eel
might win out. The Shiny, snaky thing
hiked up his hind tail and gave Tom
ski a slap on the face which made
him release his choking grasp, and
just then Johnson Mcqueen came along
and saved Tomski from a watery bier.
The village constable is now looking
for John Fritz, who ran away, laugh,
ing at his little Joke, as Mcqueen ap-
preached. He will be arrested, when
found, on the charge of cruelty to an
animal and n human being.
