Terry Cloth Coats r Popular.
At several. of the spring openings
of pale tan terry cloth were eX-
hibited. These coats were cut with
great simplicity. the straight line
down the back being emphasized; and
facings of collar. rever and cuffs were
usually of ottoman or bengaline in
tho same tan coloring. One very beau
tlful wrap of this tan terry cloth was
intended for summer evening use and
was lined with gold brocade. q drapery
rich lining to advantage. Handsome
afternoon wraps for motor wear over
light frocks are in changeable effects,
produced by dropping wolfe over taft
feta of vivid coloring. For example, a
tan Wolfe wrap has a lining of grass
green tafeta. and a wrap of black
mistral is lined with cardinal taffeta
and trimmed with bands Of black
openwork braid which shows the brill
liant red color through. The Red
Widow wrap is a dashing affair of
black satin lined with scarlet, which
wraps around the figure and fastens
with a red silk cord and tassel.
The taffeta silk wraps for afternoon
wear over summary frocks are ador-
ably quaint and old-fashioned and are
trimmed with puffings. quillings and
leating in true Early Victorian style.
Most of these wraps have a mantle or
dolman suggestion. and some of them
are sleeveless. A melon pink taffeta
wrap, worn G a cream net lingerie
frock at a recent opening. covered the
shoulder and upper arm like a scarf
folded around the figure. the folds
crossing surplice-wise owe the bust.
At n back long ends hung below the
waist to hip length. as though the
ends carried to the back and knotted
there. A parasol Of the melon pink
taffeta matched the wrap-it is the
trouble Frenchwomen take in these
details that make them SO unutterably
chic-and the broad white chip hat
had a melon pink plume. Beneath the
cream net frock showed dainty but
toned boots of white kid.
The contrast between the heavy mo-
tor or steamer Goa and the dainty
footwear beneath its hem is often
striking. Women are very fastidious
nowadays about their steamer boots
as we'll they may be for ones feet are
ever conspicuous on a breezy deck.
With the black and white steamer
coats buttoned buckslkin boots are
f%etchingly pretty. Tan calf footwear
is also favored for steamer wear. and
these boots also have high tops and
flat buttons set closely together.
Paris women are wearing race coats
Of double-faced satin; or Of charm
euse lined with a becoming color like
peacock blue. Killarney green. copper
or coral. On the revers. collar and
cuffs the lining color is shown. re-
lieved by fagoting in black. These
coats have been copied in America
with Innings of changeable taffeta or
with blazer flannel in the college COL
orings: and the lines are Of the breezy
and jaunty character that appeals to

How to Get
Rid Of CataFrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
It Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There is no need OF this
suffering. You can get rid of It by a
simple. saIe. inexpensive home treatment
discovered by DR.. Blosser, who, for over
thirty-six years. has been treating ca
tarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. 1t
is not q spray, douche. salve, cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any of these.
1t cleans out the head, nose, throat, and
lungs so that you can again breathe
freely and sleep without that stopped-up
feeling that all catarrh sufferers have.
II heals the diseased mucous membranes
and arrests the foul discharge, so that
you will not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting, and at the same
time II does not poison the system and
ruin the stomach. as internal medicines
do
If you want TO test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR..
]. w. Blosser. 261 Walton street. At
lanta, Ca, and he will send you by re-
turn mail enough OF the medicine to
satisfy you that it is all he claims for
1t as remedy for catarrh. catarrhal
headaches, catarrhal deafness, asthma,
bronchitis. colds and all catarrhal COM
plications. He will also send you free
an Illustrated booklet. Write him i'm
