SHOCKING IS AGAIN IN
 FAVOR

vTNHAT pretty, old fashioned shocking
 is again coming into favor. Like all things beautiful, 1t is bound to re- peat itself again and again as the wheel Of fashion rolls around. In fashions. as in other things, the survival of the
 Attest is the law, and shocking has proved .ts right to revival Perhaps the beautiful soft materials now in
 use have again brought shocking into popularity.
 Slender people are rejoicing at the opportunity for graceful fu11ness on the front of a waist that is now theirs.
 Then, too, there is an odd quaintness about long sleeves that are smocked several rows above the cuffs. Little peasant froclxs for children display decorative shocking. When the shocking is done on peasant frocks of white dirnity in colored thread the effect is particularly attractive. Shocking on evening wraps of light weight materials will give that grace
 full fu11ness so necessary to wraps in
 this season of draping. These are only a few of she things for which srnock- ing will be used for some time to come, 1t is hoped.

BEAUTY SPOTS.

SINCE the days of Marie Antoinette
 women have not used the al1uring beauty patch with so much art as it is used today. If n1ilady is possessed of beautiful eyes a patch placed high up on the cheek at the outer corner of the eye will draw attention to this fact, or a fascinating dimple in the cheek can be made doub1y attractive by placing near it a tiny patch. These black vel vet beauty spots, cut in disks, big and little, in triangles and in various odd designs, are sold by the box. The re- verse side. is covered with a gunlike substance which fastens the velvet se- curely to the skin when it is slightly moiStened.

Double faced eiderdown Is Q pretty material for a bath apron, but it is more difficult to wash and requires more time in drying than does canton flannel, and it costs several times as much to buy. Nevertheless it has the advantage of being much heavier and warmer than the cheaper material, and this should be a consideration in cold weather.

~HOPPING to the average wo- ~ man is simply means to an end. a disagreeable duty to be
 scrambled through with speed and much bemoaning. But sto travel is better than to arrive if the business of shopping is undertaken with eyes sharpened by the imagination Then a veil of glamour and romance will en- velop this seemingly prosa1c business of getting oneself clothed.
 The shops this spring are gorgeous with bewildering fabrics fashioned by oriental looms, while some of the coun- ters bloom with the dainty colors of the sweet pea blossoms. Colors vivid and shades pastel in turn excite adni- ration and, while the exquisite 'c1oth of goId'' will carry in the twinkling of an eye to foreign countries with their differing peoples and customs, just as surely does the delicate color ing Of the cotton fabrics lead us through the simple old fashioned gar- den of childhood.
 In the, choosing Of her spring frocks $ madame of the mode is always cont fronted by the tai1Ieur. This used to mean a creation fashioned along ser verely unfemfnine lines, which, when donned, subtly and insidiously caused dainty femininity to feel mannish, so susceptible is womankind to her outer adorning.
 This severity of outline and finish is taboo by the best tai1ors and dress makers now, however. To enhance wo- manly charm, to raise feminin1ty to the nth power, is the effect sought. To this end the supple fabrics of silk and even cotton in the love1iest of shades are used, enriched with ernbroideries and often with frills of lace appearing at wrist and neck.
 The severely utilitarian tsi1leur may be used for rainy days and for country wear, but even for travelling the more ferninine modes are worn.

George kieine's Original Stupendeus Quo Vadis Coming to the Audito- rum Next Week

Imitation is said to be the sincerest hattery. This is quite true but cannot always be appreciated by the public The George K1eine production of the Cines photo-dra1na Quo Vadis achieved . remarkable success in New York Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Balti- more and dozen other cities and in spired a, number of unscrupulous par- ties with the idea of launching a much smaller and insignificant production on the market and banking upon the pub lie credulity, to take advantage of the Immense advertising MT. Kleine's pro- auction has received. AS a conse- quence, many people who have wished to see the big production have been unsuspectingly drawn in to witness the little one and without thinking have passed Judgment. This is one of those unavoidable conditions that arise under our present social and legal status, and works as much harm to producers Gho invest their fortunes in big enterprises. The real George Kleine production of Quo Vadis is pre- scented with eight parts or reels that are divided into three acts and is only played in the larger high class theatres of the country and never at prices less than fifty cents for orches- ra seats and twenty five for balconies The real Quo Vadis will be the attrac- ton at the Auditorium for three days Beginning Monday.

STOP CATARRH!
It's Dangerous Disease-use Hyomei
 Ut Acts Quickly and Safely.


 If you have catarrh, usually indicat- ed by sntffling, stopped-up head, ire Quent colds, watery eyes and morning choking, there is an irritated state of the mucous membrane lining the breathing organs which affords an ideal condition for the growth of dis ease germs.
 It is needless to allow the danger ous germs which may be taken in with the air you breathe to reach the ir- ritated mucous membrane, and begin their destruction of your general health.
 One of the easiest, simplest and quickest ways to check catarrh and destroy the germs is by breathing cd. No roundabout process like dos ing the stomach.
 Hyomei is @ combination of anti septic and germicidal oils, which, when breathed through the inhaler, mixes with the air and instantly penetrates into the folds and crevices of the membrane lining the nose, throat and bronchial tubes. It not only heals, soothes and vitalizes the tissues, but by destroying the danger ous germs helps you to enjoy good health.
 Use Hyomei not only for catarrh but for cold in the head, bronchitis, croup of infants, or stopped-up head. It's a household remedy.
 Druggists everywhere sell it, and tells their customers he will offer to refund the money if they are not bene- f1ted Ask for the Hyomei complete outfit $1.00 size.
