COOL TUB FROCKS
FOR SUMMER WEAR
White Season Is Predicted by
Fashion Experts.
SIMPLE TYPES ARE BEST
Laundering Qualities the First consld-
eration-Summer Evening Coats
Made In All Fabrics-Few
Reach Below the Hips.

1t is long time since summer
frocks were so alluring as those that
are being shown for the coming sea
con. This is to be a white summer,
SO fashion authorities say, and a
white summer means fresh, cool and
becoming toilettes. Even white wool
has a way of looking cool. and the
average woman on a hot day will look
cooler in a white serge than in col
ored gauze. however she may feel.
Naturally, colors will not be taboo.
All who want them may wear them.

IN vivid hues. startling to the eyes.
For never has this generation seer.
color combinations and designs more
brilliantly audacious than are shown
In many of the NJ 4 .abrics, particu-
larly among the silks.
Laundering Qualities Come First.
The white tub frock. if it is really a
tub frock. comes out from the laun-
dering each time it is washed looking
fresh and cool. Even If it is not mem
orably modish, those qualities con
tinue to give it charm so long as it
holds together.
The woman who yields to the lure
of the delicate pinks and blues and
lilacs and green's, or of the delightful,
Powered cottons. which are so tempt
ing in the first spring showing after
winter of dark skies and dark
frocks, may have an attractive sum
mer wardrobe, but it will be neither
practical nor so economical as that
of the woman who turns her back
upon the flowery spring lines and
buys the white that is not so be-
witching in the hand, but is so emf
nently satisfactory on the back.
This season the wise buyer OF white
will find an unusual number Of desir-
able white materials from which to
make her choice. Whether she wishes
to spend much money or little, the
white goods counters will offer a sat
isfactory solution of her problem, and
among ready-made frocks there are
| more pretty white models than in the
ordinary season.
The simple type of lingerie frock.
for example, has improved amazingly.
Not so very long ago ii was almost
impossible to buy for a moderate sum
sheer white tub frock that was of
good material and neatly and attrac-
lively made. The manufacturers tried
to give too much for the money, piled

could not be persuaded to wear. II

EXPERIENCE
or MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a Try
ing one 70 most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial o. strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.
