BACKACHE vANISHES
RHEUMATIC PAINS GO
Few Doses of Croxone Ease Stiff,
Sore, Swollen Joints and Mus
cIes, Relieving Backache
and Bladder Disorders.

If you suffer with backache-have
pains in the neck or sides-nervous or
dizzy spells-a few doses of Croxone
will relieve the congestion and you
will be surprised how quickly all kid
new. bladder and rheumatic troubles
will disappear.
Croxone promptly relieves these dis
eases because it really does reach the
real cause. 1t soaks right into the
walls and Innings of the kidneys, cleans
out the stopped-up inactive organs,
neutralizes and dissolves the uric acid
and makes the kidneys sift from the
blood the waste and poisonous matter
that lodge in the joints and muscles
to scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism. It soothes and heals the deli
cate Innings of the bladder and gives
the kidneys renewed strength so they
can filter the blood and keep you WELL
Croxone is different from all other
remedies. 1t is so prepared that it is
practically impossible to take it with
out results. An original package Of
Croxone costs but a trifle, and all
druggists are authorized to return the
purchase price if it should fail in a
single case.-Adv.

smile. "Ycu have developed into a

He turned away shyly, like q great
schoolboy making blunder. The mu-

seemed to increase her growing re-
gard.
"By the way" he went on, after a
moment or two Of consultation of
some papers, here is something par
ticular. 1t is a power of attorney au-
thorizing you to act for me In the mat
ter Of a real estate transfer. I have
had very good offer for the upland

Nellie knew the tract well. It was
one of two pieces of property left to
him by his uncle's estate when he
came to Lindgrove. There was the
lowland forty acres near by, a worth

upon his hand. His clasp frightened

turned away and abruptly left the

Who would not she challenged, as

T. OR the club woman, or one who
i attends any informal afternoon
function, here is a simple and smart
costume. 1t is designed on very con-
sentative lines, but provided with the
most popular of the present style
touches to make it acceptable to the
most up-to-date wearer.
1t is model especially well adapted
to a stout figure. The small coat
hangs closer than the majority of
those equally smart. It's cut sets the
material close to the arm and mar
rows the shoulders. The sleeves are
easy, in straight lines and three-quar-
ter length. There is deep and rath-
er narrow "V' at the throat, and the
basque is long, sloping down toward
the back. 1t is unfinished except for
the sewing at the bottom. Thus the
long line of the figure is not broken
by the separate coat. 1t is noticeable
that all the lines of the coat tend to
preserve length of line, in the figure.
The skirt is fuller than the average,
with the effect of being a double skirt
at the front. 1t is cut wide enough to
allow it to be caught up in plaits at
the left knee under soft rosette OF
chiffon. A piece is let in at the front,
but the split or overlapping breadth
is absent and there is, worn enough
for a comfortable step. At the long
"V" at the front a little soft white
chiffon is let in and a strand of the
ever-present white beads finishes the
neck dress.
The jacket laps at the front with
fastening concealed by an inverted

Many people are quite happy in the

of the millions of New Workers wish
that their lives had been cast In diff

even the most satisfied individual

of New York, resident who lives on
no street, alley, or avenue; has no
neighbors; neither owns his home nor
pays rent.
Out on the extreme end of one OF
the longest piers in the Hudson river
there is perched a tiny building,
wrought of corrugated iron, and re-
sembling more nearly a bomb-proof
shelter than a peaceable dwelling.
This strange little apartment, never
theless. is fitted with all the COM
forts and luxuries that combine to
make a bachelors existence suffer
able. Rich paper sheaths the walls,
heavy carpets lie underfoot, a piano
stands in the corner, capacious
leather chairs offer the comfort of
quiet ease, while an excellent man

And good as gold," was the ardent
and sincere addendum Of his office
secretary, Nellie Ward, but she said 1t
to herself. as she glanced timidly at
her employer, and blushed self con-
sciously.
Her true womanly heart was full or
gratitude towards the shy, reticent
man who had started her in business
life. She needed work sadly when she
applied for a position grade better
than clerking in the village dry goods
store. Nellie had an aged aunt to sup
port. ard when Mr.. Mercer offered her
nearly double her former salary she
felt as though rare opulence had be-
come her portion.
Mr. Mercer had shown her unusual
Indulgence. He had been patient In
teaching her how to operate the type

pleasant tasks. From the first he had
placed entire confidence in her, and
this pleased her greatly. In fact, al

to where she was busy at her desk
She felt her pulses quicken and was
angry at herself for the emotion.

The ideal woman, declares maya
zine editor, is the womanly woman,
gentle, kind and able to make her
abode 'home-like' under any and all
circumstances. She ought to be fond
of children and at the same time she
ought to be in touch with all the
world movements, such as suffrage,
Socialism and the like, so that she
can interpret the life of today with
intelligence. She ought to be strong
physically and absolutely even-tem-
pered. don't approve of woman
having so much temperament" that

the next in the depths. / like her to
be beautiful, but the first requisite is
she must be well groomed. Even if
she be very poor her shirtwaist can
always be clean and her clothes well
pressed. No matter how plain a
woman may be exquisite personal
cleanliness and good grooming make
her beautiful.

white hair, such hair as one sees at
fancy dress ball. The powdered hair
now so fashionable in Paris is, as a
rule, quite dark in parts. 1t is obvious
ly powdered at the sides and in front.
The great drawback to this fashion
is this: Powdered hair makes con-
siderable demands upon ones toilet,
and upon ones personality, generally
1t seems to silently call for a special
style of dress. 1t cannot be worn, sue
cessfully, with "just anything"
In the evening these difficulties dis
appear entirely, for modern evening
gowns are so ornate and elaborate
that they seem to harmonic, natural
ly, with powder.
AS to the second "fad," what can
be said? Red fox skins have become
ubiquitous in Paris. All through last
summer, and autumn, the most ex-
elusive Partisan beauties were making
sensational successes in white linen
and satin seaside costumes, accom-
panied by a brilliant red fox skin, in
the shape Of a fiat tie.
Skins CT the ordinary red fox looked
all right when adopted as an eccen-
trio "fad," by ultra smart women, and
in conjunction with fragile summer
dresses; they look hopelessly common
when adopted as regular winter fur
and worn with handsome tailored
suits of cloth and velvet Neverthe-
less, the red-fox-rage is apparently in
a healthy condition. 1t seems likely
to last all through the winter. And
the pity of it is that already the shop
windows are filled with imitation red
fox skins, worthless furs which have
no meaning and which would make
any costume look ordinary. This was,
of course, inevitable, but it is never
theless deplorable.
The newest combs are large and
fiat, tand the correct thing is to wear
them at the back of the head, low
down, in Greek style. Some of these
combs are of rare beauty. The artis-
tic jewellers of Paris are past masters
at work of this kind, and the most
wonderful things are done with carv-
ed jade, inset with precious stones,
and with transparent horn incrusted
with diamonds and traced over with
gold
Sometimes these beautiful combs
are accompanied by an elaborate clasp
which is worn at the breast or is used
to fasten the wide sash, at one side.

"V'' shaped piece Of the material
There is a plating of lace about the
throat and small ribbon decoration at
the right side by way of garniture, a
short satin girdle of plated ribbon
fastens with hooks and eyes at the
left side under extremely small made
ornaments.
The hat is of hatter's plush, with
facing of velvet in black. The para
disc wreath in shaded flame color
gives brilliance and distinction to the
entire toilette.
1t will be noticed that the long
gloves are glace kid in black. They
make the arms look very slender ana
reduce the apparent size of all hands
remarkably. Very thin women should
not wear them. High surfaced black
is not for them. The sleeves are I'm
ished with band of satin.
To study this costume is more con-
vincing than describing it to show
that it has been carefully thought out
as adapted to the full figure.
The narrow dropping bTim Of the
hat makes the most of the length OF
the neck, since it does not conceal It,
The feather swirl is light, following
the brim line almost exactly. The
shape is extremely graceful.
1t is by such careful thinking out
and management of line that grace is
arrived at. Developed in black or
grey or mauve or taupe, this is
good model, but for the purpose of re-
ducing the apparent size of the figure
black is the best choice.
