PRETTY GRAPE issss {: MATS
DESIGNERS HAVE DONE TiEiR
BEST WITH THIS MATERIAL.
Really Lovely Effects Produced for
Those Who Favor That Material
as a Foundation for Their
Millinery.

A few seasons ago there began to
be touches of white used in the body
of hats made of black Grape. The
beauty of this fabric was thrown into
prominence by this combination and
it has been making a steady progress
in the consideration of designs ever
since.
During the last three seasons en-
tire hats of white Grape, or hats Of
white with some black Grape intro
duced, have been featured in all dis
plays of fine mourning headwear.
Lovely effects have been wrought
out in this fabric. Flowers and fol-
iage made of it are exquisite. The
finest examples of mourning hats
either in black or white are decorated
with ornaments made of Grape. These
work-room made ornaments are the
delight Of the designers of mourning
hats because effects are possible in
Grape which cannot be okteined with
other fabrics.
It has become a matter Of choice
as to color and we may expect to see
white crepe replacing black for sum.
ner hats, while white will be EN-
ploycG in facings and trimmings on
black Grape for winter wear.

WAY or DRA?ING CURTAINS
Method That May Appeal to the

thinq of a Novelty.

A new way of draping bedroom
curtains Of sheer and soft, thin ma
terials like easement cloth, cotton
wolfe, marquisette or net, ID to hang
a single width at each end OF the pole
and let it fall in straight folds to the
floor. The hooks supporting these
straight widths occupy about one-third
OF the space at each of the pole, and
next to them are suspended two
double widths of material, both of
which are hooked back at the win
dow sill, but while at the top one Of
these widths falls naturally, the upper
inside corner of the other width Is
brought forward to overlap the first
one and hooked to the pole within
three inches of the end widths inside
edge. Finally, several feet from the
pole at the opposite side of the win
dow this overlapping curtain is partly
caught back by narrow ribbon or
twist of silk starting from it, own
end of the pole. The lapover fills in
the space at the top of tho window,
which draped-back curtains always
form, and it is less stiff in appearance
than is the short width of curtainlng
sometimes employed to obviate the alb
rupt break at the center OF the WIN
dow pole.

Pique Shirts.

The newest shirts to wear with the
eponge skirts are those in pique. The
new pique is only distant relative
TO the stiff pique of other years, as it
is delightfully."- soft and supple. The
shirt is masculine in cut, with the ex-
ception of the neck, which is invaria-
bly, finished by one of the becoming
rolling collars which owe their origin
to the days of Marie Stuart. The cor
rect finishing touches are added when
a sash of plaid ribbon and a cravat 30
match are adjusted. No matter how
severe the skirt anu shirtwaist may
be, the sash is sure to give the femi-
nine touch. The latest idea Is to
fasten it directly in the front with one
or two throwover ends.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

IF you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines that
contain iodine, morphine, heroin and
other sedatives when you have cough
or cold. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is what is needed.
It cleans out the culture beds or breed
ing places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is why
pneumonia never results from a cold
when Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
used. 1t has a worldwide reputation for
it's cures. It contains no morphine or
other sedative. For sale by all dealers.
