more elaborate blouses.

in connection with opera cloak develop
ment, for costume suits and for the trim
ming OF cloth or satin garments.
Thick cordings continue to play a con-
spicuous part in trimmings. Some of the
best gowns have the heavy cord Rirdles
and all the edges outlined with cord.
Taffeta of a supple softness. Elaces OF
unwonted colorings, and surah, often mis-.
takenly called serge silk" are hack with
added attractions and the novelty of be-
ing new.
Handsome ribbons OF satin and silk
background, against which stand out
wonderfully natural roses and floral de-
signs, will play a conspicuous part in the
fall millinery.

cloth and chiffon, and are especially et
fective in bordered materials. These
Tapped effects appear anywhere from the
hip-lfne to the knees.
Taffeta, satin, marquisette, and chiffon

Superb uOus Hair.

X. p. C.-Nothing is as effective
for superfluous hair as the cleo
trio needle: but the needle can
not be used on arms or legs, where
it is often very Objectionable. good
depilatory. and there are many on the
market, can be used and then the parts
dabbed with cold cream. Now that IT is
fashionable to wear thin silk stockings,
hair on the legs is as annoying as upon
the arms
II you only have dark fuzz on your
arms, take enough pure peroxide of hy-
drogen to wet the hair: add a few drops
Of ammonia. This will bleach the hair
so that it is less conspicuous and the
ammonia gradually will kill the roots
This treatment may have to be repeat
ed several times.
wild" hairs in the eyebrows can be
pulled out with tweezcrs and a touch
Of ammonia applied to the roots: be
careful to pull the hair the same way
that 1t grows. otherwise it will break off
and grow again.
The hair in the nose never should be
pulled out, but at least once week

BOUDOIR IS THE ONLY
PLACE FOR NEGLIGEE

"A place for everything and every
thing in its place" is an old saying, but
it certainly applies to the use of the
negligees. Very fine negligees should
only be worn in the privacy of milady's
boudoir, and those that are Just half
and half (between a negligee and a
frock) are permissible in the breakfast
and morning rooms. And why a woman
should even desire to overstep the ac-
knowledged territory OF the negligee is
thing / cannot quite understand.
The mere mention OF a negligee fire.
quently creates the impression that this
garment is a beautiful French creation
and incidentally one that is very ex-
pensive. But this Is not so, as not all
negligees are French, neither are they
expensive. OF course, those that are
French and handmade are the prettiest,
but they may be easily copied by the
dainty needlewoman. This is particu-
larly true OF the lingerie type of negli-
gees, dressing sacques and nightingales.
In making garments OF this character,
1t Is advisable to be a copyist, as not
every woman's creative genius rivals
that of the artistic French

Face Peelins Easy
Blond or Brunette

THE blond's complexion fades early,
because her skin is extraordinarily thin
and fine," says Mime. Lima Cavalier,
perhaps the most famous living beauty.
The brunette's, as a rule, is the re-
verse The skin is thicker and has a
tendency to an oily appearance.
For either the faded blond's skin or
the brunette's oily or sallow COM
plexion, the best remedy is ordinary
mercolized wax. Used daily, this will
give one an entirely new complexion
within about a weeks time The wax
gradually absoFbs the worn-out surface
skin, with all IT'S defects, a little each
day. without affecting the delicate un-
derskin in the least. The latter will
have the exquisitely beautiful glow of
youth-indeed. one may readily lose ten
or fifteen years from her age, so far
as appearance goes. by a course of this
simple treatment. Mercolized wax, Sc
durable at any drug store, is applied

Variety in ReTers.

with these now coats there is al
ways some sort OF collar and revers,
but these vary widely, some being
quite fancy and others of mannish
simplicity.
The simple style is shown at its
best in the coat illustrated herewith.
The closing of the garment is dou-
ble-breastcd. The fronts are plain,
the back made with a center seam.
The sleeves have the raglan cut, and
the neck is finished with a small col
lar and small revers.
This finish will be found most
comfortable If a fur neck piece is
worn, as It does not make a bunch
underneath.
AS to the materials OF these coats,
nothing is quite equal to reversible
cloth, the under side serving for all
trimming purposes. Other coatings
are also used. and. on the plain ones.
satin or ottoman silk is used for a
collar facing.
This coat is made by Peerless pat
tern 1851. and is cut in sizes 80. "a,

sending 10 cents TO the office of this

.HERALD'S NEW PATTERNS
The Newest Coat Models
Haze the Raglan Sleeve
Extending in a Pointed
Tab to the Collar.

The separate coat is not a novelty.
Last winter, ono full year ago. it
made its appearance and received a
welcome in certain quarters. but by
no means the universal acceptance
which was expected. The women
who did invest in one of these gar
ments, however, must have been
good missionaries. for the present
season sees the separate coat one of
the really indispensable garments of
a welI-dressed woman's wardrobe.
In cut these coats retain the same
characteristics that are found in all
other garments: they are straight
and close fitting. The kimono shoul-
der, which has so long been the rule,
is the exception in these coats. The
latest novelty is found in the raglan
sleeve. which has the outer side of
the sleeve extended I'm a pointed tab
and ending at the collar.
This gives the same long, unbro-
ken line that is the chief merit of
tho kimono cut. and does away with
tho discomfort of the pull under the
arm

common and most stubborn of skin
diseases. Some said it was Il blood

the compound Cadum that he at last
realized he had given to the world
something that would bring relief to
hundreds OF sufferers. Cadum ranks
today with the great remedies of the
medical world. Its action is so posi- :
tive that the itching of eczema is

itched and scratched for years find
sleep and rest soon after Cadum is
applied. CadunI is sold by all drug
