CONFIRMED PROOF
Residents of Lexington Cannot

In gratitude for complete re-
lief from aches and pains Of bad

ills-thousands have publicly
recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. Residents of this vicinity
who so testified years ago, now
say their cures were permanent.
This testimony doubly proves the
worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to
Lexington kidney sufferers.

Why. madame, you wear no real

an appreciation of the possibilities of

Camellias streaked with pink. white

Charms of Simplicity

r L is relief to find that among the
new evening frocks there is a sug-
= gestion Of simplicity. OF course. the
elegance of the elaborate embroideries
and combinations of materials is tempt
ing. but invariably expensive, and there
fore beyond the reach Of those who
must consider the question Of ways and
means.
Soft satin seems to be an ideal ma
terial for simple evening gowns. One
beautifully designed model relies almost
entirely upon folds to gain charming
effect. The bodice is. of course. low
necked, but 1t is pointed In cut. this
shape being secured by the crossed
folds.
The sleeves are Of draped folds Of silk.

idea, wide bretelles Of satin. braided

waist line over. the shoulders. The waist
line is secured by a pointed skirt line at
the top which is ornamented with a
running design of braid. and gives just
the right amount Of decoration for this
frock
Simplicity is certainly a safe side on
which to err. There Is always quiet
satisfaction in the recognition that a
simple gown worn with grace and IAN
air. Is appropriate on any occasion.

Coming Fashions

m HE princess dress of last summer -
predicted; in fact, 1t is with US
Il in somewhat scant numbers, but
IN beautiful materials Let little
secret be told to the discreet, to the
discriminating buyers, who usually
profit by what they learn. The fashions
which will be most likely to win out are
those-among the advance showing
which are made up in the most ex-
quisite materials. Modify them as you
will in your own garments. but cast
your eye in the direction Of the very
best when you are out in search OF
ideas.
The princess garments, about which 81
much was saIa and thought last sum
mer, seem 10 be bidding for standing
room again. tOnly the best among
them were made with walking room.J
They have arrived. and are made up In

Others are the complete princess, very
nearly approaching a close fit. Again.
the summer frock is girdled with 4

are SO many women, and they have such
varied taste. that there is room for all.

cess or Joined with belt. Is the ac-
cepted garb.

Walking Costumes

a NY attempt to shorten the walk
~ ing frock and at the same time to
= narrow the skirt is doomed to
failure, because the figure of its wearer
must indeed be beautiful to Withstand
the grotssaue effect produced by the ap-
pearance of a princess dress brought to
q sudden and VICTORIOUS end.
The skirts OF walking costumes must
he full. then. 10 be graceful and be-
coming. They must be of length that
escapes the ground. but you must moi
err on the side of extreme shortness, as
the foot. above the ankle. is not at.
tractive.
Coats or these walking suits should be
PLAIN. or simply trimmed with bands OF
braid or fur. The desire for ornamenta-
tion should be submerged in the pri-
mary use of the suit.
A lovely example OF the white walk
ing suit. which has taken Paris by
storm, Is of cream homespun, trimmed
With wide cord that edges the COLA.
and cuffs and ornaments TIE front a.
the double-breasted coat. almost In mill
tary lines.
The skirt is made with pIeated
underskIrt. over which n square tunic
drops. This opens at the side and is
treated TO the froglike ornamensation of
the black cord.

suit for the cool spring days

The New Flat Hat

hTOMEN clamor for something new.
wv and as all millinery models are
wv more or less extreme there are
some feminine heads that are not tit
tingly arrayed in the accepted shapes.
Paris has come to the rescue and aid
of those who want a change OF head
gear The new hat is a large fat shape
unrelieved by any perceptible crown.
Whatever crown there is appears be-
meath the brim. thereby enabling sure
position on the curls under it.
Its unbroken surface has secured the
name of the plateau" hat for our
latest. When developed in black panne
it is most becoming to women who have
soft features and who can carry well q

Arranging a Scarf

A PICTURESQUE result is obtained
~ on many gowns by mastery ar
- rangement of scarfs. These may
be of crepe De chine bordered with
oeep fringe, or they may vary from
heavy silk to the lightest tulle or net.
But in the draping of the scarf lies
the making of gown, and the main
point to be observed is the individual
requirement of the Wearer.
Experiment until every good point is
accentuated and every defect of line
concealed. When it is intended to drape
a slender figure, a result can be ar
rived at by securing the scarf in a
point at the back and passing 1t over
each shoulder through jeweled clasps.
The draperies can then be crossed in
front and held by a buckle on each
side. From the girdle the ends should
fall In straight lines to the hem Of
the skirt.
Secure a comparatively plain frock
and a long. well-arranged scarf. and
the result is In your hands

W raps OF Satin

~ OFT satins which are so woven that
a fugitive coloring is the m ain fea-
~ ture are the favorites for evening
cioaks.
There Is new and beautiful decora-
ton used on one Of these satin models
just over from Paris. 1t is long panel
embroidered with soutache. 1t reaches
from the collar down to the lower edge
of the cloak. Wide bands edge the
loose sleeves. which follow the line Of
fashion and are cut in one piece with
the rest of the gown.
The lower ends of the wrap are draped
up and caught under the broad band OF
the panel
A straight high collar Of embroidery is
fitting top for the coat. which Is but
toned by black velvet disks and cord.

The Separ ate Tune

"HERE are some simple little frocks
Of ivory white satin, or even OF
- soft muslin. that are claiming at
tention these days, for they form back
grounds for new ideas in tunics.
They are made with perfectly plain
bodice and skirt, the lower edge of the
latter finished with two or three
fiounces.
Over this foundation the separate
tunic is slipped. 1t is Of chiffon. en-
brOidered gauze. silk net or heavy tulle.
and is belted in at the waist line. The
low neck, sleeve line and border are
edged with u band of soft satin that
matches the shade of the tunic.
Frequently, these tunics are elabo-
rately trimmed with braid, silk embroid
cry or buttons. They are easily made.
and give a distinctly new touch to the
gown for afternoon or evening.

can be made. with results that are
satisfactory from the standpoint OF

Would you make one for a minimum

TONS that you may know exactly how
they are worn. Paris indicates any OF
the diaphanous materials for their con-
strucuon. This blouse should match
the skirt. and it must be worn over an
other bodice of filmy linen or Of lace
run with gold thread.

THE NECESSITY FOR GOOD

The appearance OF sloping shoulders

which the material is draped rather
than cut out by a pattern. The no
shouIder-seam affair, the raglan
sleeve and the Bulgarian shoulder will.
any one of them, bring about an I'M
desirable narrowness unless the wearer
be provided by nature with an ample
shoulder breath.
These are not the only fashions. and
il amounts to foolishness to follow
them like sheep. Never has there
been time when styles have been
so generously bestowed. Each indi-
vidual may find. without the slight
est trouble, just such designs as VIII
hest bring out h beauty and con.
ceal her defects.
Fortunately. we have not adopted
some of these deformities to the ex-
tent that Frenchwomen have. Amer
leans occasionally make lucky es-
capes through the failure of lash
ion to reach these shores. No mat
ter what awful things have come
from time to time. rest assured that
other and worse horrors have been
escaped.
II is not good taste TO dress in an
extreme way. The excess or a style
should be stunned. 1T may be lett
to the more Daring. whom the more
conservative actually pity.
There was quite some occasion for
pitv when the hat OF the spring or

hope she will hold her own in the
face of the coming styles. which will
soon be upon US.
