New Orleans, La, April 20
Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi,
who is master of all he surveys
in Mississippi politics, says in
an interview in the Picayune that

members of the old Cleveland
wing of the party and that
Wilson sstill has a considerable
following. He thinks the vari-

WHAT'S THE REASON
Many Opelousas People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

Many Opelousas People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.
There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of filtering the
blood and that is the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed
by over one hundred thousand
people, and by your neighbors in
Opelousas.
Mrs. 7. Compton Chachere,
Landry St., Opelousas, La,
says: "A member of my family
received splendid results from
the use of Doan's Kidney Pills,
.procuoed from Shute's Drug
Store. He was troubled for
some time by irregular passages
of the kidney secretion accom-
paniediby pain in his book. These
troubles, / believe, were brought
on by hard work and heavy lift
ing. The use of three boxes
was so effective that he was CIV
en- a very high opinion of this
remedp. He was relieved of the
pains in his back and the kidney
secretions were restored to their
normal condition"

son has brought some unmistak-
able changes in woma' S fashion,
yet the changes are y no means
of a radical nature Tailored
costumes of a conservative type,
for instance, do moi show very
decided changes f lines. A
woman may have almost any
sort Of coat that ismost becom-
ing to her and VT not be con-
spicuously out of sttle. General
ly speaking, however, cutaway
lines prevail. Gat fronts
sharply cut away from the bust
line and reteaiing chic little
waistcoats are the favorites of
Partisan tailGs, but can be sue
~cessfuIIy wor1 by the exception
ally slender woman. The cuta-
way models which are most sue
cessful fasten down to the wais-
line or a little above, and are
sloped away gradually from there.
In this model, too, there is often
a waistcoat, but it appears above
the button Inc, not below it.
Belted effects are popular in
suit coats as in frocks, the belt
sometimes acircling the waist,
sometimes showing in back and
front or in back only. Some soft
silk coats attualIy blouse over
the belts. Others are drawn
down smoothly, belted in snugly,
revealing the waist and hip
curves which recent modes so
~sternly suppressed, and still
others fall loosely and compare
lively straight, their belts being
for ornament rather than ser
vice.
On the whole, there is more
shapeliness, more concession to
the curves in this seasons suit
coat than that of last year, and
since frocks also show q tenden-
cy to lessen the waist size and
admit the existence of a hip
curve, it seems likely that a
change in corseting is at hand.
It will come gradually, of course.
Women have enjoyed the free
dom of the large waist and the
uncorseted figure and will be
unwilling to give it up. Prob
ably they will never again accept
tight lacing in it's very strenuous
phases, but the modes of this
spring both in bodices and skirts,
are surely blazoning a trail to a
changed silhouette and the
autumn will doubtless bring trim
waists, more definite curves and
more elaborate skirt draperies.
Bedford cords, heavy cord
diagonals, whipcords, serges,
wool eponge tweed and various
mixtures in light tones are the
materials most used for the wool
tailored costumes, while for the
silk two-piece or three-piece cos
tune taffeta, the dull finished
satino, a heavy cord surah or
serge, several ribbed silks or
bengaline or poplin character
and tussor are all available.
Many combinations of serge
and taffeta and of serge and
satin are among the more prac-
teal Of the three-piece costumes,
and these materials are COM
bined as much as ever for the
one-piece trotting frock. Smart
coats and frocks of black taffeta,
the upper part of the frock be-
ing almost entirely of chiffon or
marquissette, promise good sum-
mer service. A clever French
idea is the braiding of the black
silk in biscuit soutache and using
for the bodice biscuit chiffon and
lace partly yelled by black chif-
fon.
The biscuit, champagne a nd
kindred shades running down to
tones are very successful

very wisely left the models in
these materials to the straight
lines. Yet even here are some
changes in detail-a longer and
more accumulated waist. sleeve

effects. Heavy laces trim some
of the best looking linens and it
is worth nothing that there are
exceedingly effective limitations
of Irish macrame, flet, cluny,
ETC., at prices surprisingly mod

Quite as chic as any Of these
lace trimmed models are other
linen frocks, demurely simple,
but with distinctly original notes
in color, cravat, belt and buttons,
which are more effective than
any amount of elaborate trim
ming.
Belts, girdles and sashes are
also strong features of fashion
this season. Narrow belts OF
patent leather or of p a I
leather combined with some one
Iof t h costume materials or
colors have a decided vogue and
importers who will carry models
into which such belts enter have
brought over quantities of the
belts to be used in reproduction
of these models.
One of the fads of the season
is the toweling material in its
many variations. It goes under
various names, eponge, Turkish
cloth, cotton ratine. Tyltyl. But,
whateve. the name toweling is

suits and for trimmings. T e
imported linen and cotton

rought than many other towel
ing materials, comes in charming
colors and threatens to rival
linen for one peace tub frocks
and summer suits.
Stripes are in high favor and
are shown in all the new silks,
chiffons, cottons and woolens,
often with bordure designs.
Quaint and lovely striped taffetas
in soft color and white are made
up with plain one tone silk or

The satins and crops have moi
