LITTLE FASHIONS
FOR ALL WOMEN

THE long silk gloves which have
tucked arms are odd looking, but
they are really far more graceful than
the plain silk glove. For nothing, prob
ably, does more to make skinny arm
look SKINNER and a plump arm lose It's
pleasing plLmpness than silk gloves
stretched smooth to the elbow. They
generally have to be stretched smooth
to make them meet the sleeves. In some
of the gloves the tucks run up and down
and in some they run around. Whichever
way they go they break the long, straight
line and force the glove arm to lie in
folds and creases-and so make the arm
seem plump and shapely.
Light blue and pink sautoirs. the short
ribbons for holding the watch about the
neck are seen on summer frocks. Like
the black and white ribbons they are
decorated with slides of brass. silver, gill
and rhineStOneS.
Charming frocks for children are made
Of figured wolfe. Like all the popular fig
,.red yoiles. those used for little girls
frocks have small fgures-stin little
sprigs and sprays Of flowers In Diue Oh
pink on a white ground. The frocks are
simply made, shirred sometimes at neck
ond elbows. and sometimes they are
shirred into a soft band about the knees
Sometimes, too. they are trimmed with
soft satin ribbon.

Dainty tea gowns, rest robes ana 1nati-
nees of all-over lace, net and crepe de
chine in white and cream are deliberately
trimmed with soft yellow satin ribbon
pale yellow chiffon and crepe de chine,
too. are used for the making of negllges,
and they are generally elaborately
trimmed with insertion and lace edg1ng
lingerie too is now run with yellow rlD-
hons and decorated with yellow chlffon
and satin flowers. There seems to be no
such thing as yellow wash ribbon of the
ordinary wash sort, but thin yellow satin
ribbon is used instead for underwear
This thin satin ribbon stands washing
very well; anyway, 1t can be bought by
the niece in attractive shades for a very
reasonable price
Knife pleating Is having a popularity
all its own knife-pleated ruffies anil
friIIs are used on crepe de chine and
wash net petticoats; knife pleated edge
collars and cuffs on coats and biouses.
And knife-pleated silk trimming is much
used on wolfe and crepe afternoon frocks.
one way Of utilizing this form of trim
ming is to edge a broad folded satin CIR
die top and bottom with a knife-pleated
satin frill about an inch and a half wide.
4 white wolfe afternoon frock was made
with a girdle of this kind in deep blue
ga tin and was further trimmed with a
few touches of bright blue on the bodice.
or course girdle so made increases the
apparent size of the waist, but that is a
thing to be desired.

BADNESS
May be Checked by Using
Herpicide

The above expression is one which
is used frequently In connection with
hair preparations. Just exactly what
is meant by it in each instance Is a
ques ion. Badness is not a disease
and hence, does not permit OF a cure.
1t is a result invariably TO be traced
to the dandruff germ and If the con-
dItion has become chronic, that Is. If
there is complete atrophy of the hair
folIicles, a 'scure" is absolutely i'm
possible.
Approaching badness, seen in fall
ing hair, may always be checked and
if the hair foljcles are not atrophied
the hair may be induced again to
grow.
This is accomplished by regular ap-
plications Of Newbro's Berpicide. which
cleanses the scalp and eliminates the
dandruff. Checking the accommodations
OF scarf skin removes the most COM
mon enemy to beautiful hair.
Soft. glossy, fluffy hair cannot grow
on a scalp infested with dandrun any
more than a delicate plant can grow
on an ash heap. The scalp must be
kept clean and free from dandruf9.
The best remedy fer doing this is
Newbro's Herpicide which receives
the highest endorsements from pro-
fession men, the stage and the best
people everywhere.
Newbro's Herpicide in soc and $1.oo
sizes is sold by all dealers who guar
antee it to do all that is claimed. II
