HINTS BY MAY MANTON
A PRETTY SCHOOL FROCK.

A pretty and becoming school frock
always is very 'close to the little girls
heart To be well dressed among
her mates means happiness. Here is
a model that is charmingly dainty
and childish in effect. that is in every
way attractive yet is perfectly simple
as such dresses always should be. The
skirt is straight and gathered. The
waist portion is full below the round
yoke and the sleeves are cut in one
piece each. They can be finished be-
low the elbows or at the wrists. The
dress illustrated is made of figured
challis with finely striped silk and
narrow braid used as trimming. but
the season is a generous one and there
are a great many different fabrics
that are in every way appropriate.
Light weight wools, such as the chal-
lis. cashmere and the like, are much
used, but warm houses and warm
school rooms make washable ma
terials possible throughout the entire
year, and many mothers prefer such,
feeling that repeated cleansings mean
health as well as daintiness. Plaid
gingham trimmed with plain makes
exceedingly attractive little dresses,
and there are many other fabrics or
fered in the autumn display. Hign
neck is always to be preferred for
school wear and during the cool
weather, but the same model will be
3 found pretty for afternoon occasions
If a little daintier material is used
for the making; and, if liked, the yoke
can be cut out to give round effect.
Treated in this way the dress would
be pretty made from cream colored
challis dotted with rosebuds and
trimmed with taffeta, or from any
similar material.

EVERYDODY'S FRIEND

The old family doctor, OF whom so
few are now seen In this age OF "spe-
cialists" was the valued friend and
adviser of his patients. They de-
pended on him TO keep them in health,
and cheer them with his counsel. He
taught them the wisdom of preventing
illness by watching closely after the
health OF the family.
Mrs. S. II. Dubois writes from her
home at Hampstead, l.. l.: "Ninol Is
an old friend OF our family We have
used II for years whenever any OF us
need a tonic on account Of being in
a rundown state ofyheath and II al
ways gives perfect satisfaction. We
have used nine bottles this winter"
There are thousands Of families who
could and do say the same thing. VI
mol. our delicious cod liver and iron
preparation without oil, has proved its
value by bringing back rugged health
and strength to vast numbers OF weak,
rundown men, women and children.
