for not very fabulous sum. but on
can be made of far better material for

The regulation underjacket is made Of
quilted silk. A very good quality of the
silk can be had in the twenty-seven inch
width. Two yards of this will make a
jacket with high neck and long sleeves
Cut 1t by a pattern for a fitted waist

ing and stitch seam binding fiat over tho
edges of the seams Fasten the front
either with buttons and buttonholes
worked on a little underhap or else with
buttons and crocheted loops or wifi
hooks and eyes. Line the jacket either
with silk or cotton. An easy way to cover
the seams and raw ed -es. instead of witli
seam binding, is to make the lining anu

seams in the quilting and the quilted

Turn under the front and bottom and

There are many attractive patterns for

| Some of them are made with high necks

waistcoat can be slipped on before the

| Such a waistcoat can be made with q

which will give it almost as much
warmth and not as much bulk as the
quilted cloth.

THE DAILY STORY.
MAGIC HAT.


Angeline Halt sat in room that was
Uttered with the contents of a huge box
which the expressman had just delivered
to her. In her haste to get to the very
bottom of her treasures she had strewn
tissue paper blouses and silk hose indls-
criminately Now the first thrill of dis
covery was over and she was sitting fiat
on the floor with her lap full of lace.
gloves and handkerchiefs, feasting her
eyes ON the shimmery lengths of cerise
satin gown which she had flung over
nearby chair. The while outlay repre-
sentcd a considerable sum Of money, but
AngeIine could afford to spend Two
wears before she had received an inheri-
ance SO vast as to be almost beyond what
she could use. And Angelina could find
use for a great deal of money. All her
life she had been poor and all her
life she had hungered for the things
wealth permits one to have. Now her
hunger was appeased- Indeed, this was
the eleventh time she had gone shopping
in the city and had been follower home
by an enormous package of fiuery.

There was knock at the door and
Angelina called: Come in The wom-
an who entered was fifteen years young
er than Angelina, besides being plump,
blond and rosy. She started back a
little at what she saw and gave a little
cry.
''Angeline! Where did YOU get all
these?''

Angelina gulped at once. Then she
rose and began to put the things back
into the box. The cerise satin went in
first and on top of it the French
blouses, the clicked hose and the mar
velous wrap with it's youthful outline.

thought.

What is Woman's
Beauty but Health
And the Basis Of Her Health and
Vi3or Lies in the Careful Reg
ulation Of the Bowels.

If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics. every woman would be a
picture of leveliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health
In the majority of cases the basis of
health and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be,
it is important that the condition
should be corrected
An ideal remedy for women, and
one especially suited to their delicate
requirements, is DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women
endorse highly, among them Mrs. c.
S. Vance, of 511 S. Ray ST, New
Castle, Pa. At times she had spells
of indigestion so severe that she
thought she would die. Syrup Pep
sin regulated her stomach and bowels
and she attributes her excellent health
today to this remedy.
All the family can use DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth
ers give it to babies and children. 1t
is admirably suited to the require
ments of elderly people, in fact to
all who by reason of age or infirmity
cannot stand harsh salts, cathartics,
pills or purgatives. These should al
ways be avoided, for at best their

"only closet sees hung full of

In the white wood paneling the
closet door was hardly noticeable and
now Helen darted in and threw 1t

Helen went back into the sitting
room and gazed~ unhappily out the
window, until creaking Of bed
springs told her that he was in bed.
He had turned out all the lights,
and, afraid to disturb him by their
glare, Helen undressed by the light
from the street. The narrow cane
beds were side by side, but she crept
into hers with feeling that Warren
was miles away. He lay with his back
to her, his outstretched form under
the white sheet looking almost giant
like In the dim light.
The unfamiliar objects and shadows
of the room, the strangeness of the at
mosphere, accentuated her wakeful-
ness.
Her head ached, and she was now
conscious of a gnawing hunger-the
effect of having eaten nothing since
morning. The discomfort itself she
was too unhappy to care about, but
the fear that it might keep her awake
to worry and anguish through the
night made her think of cake of milk
chocolate that Warren had bought on
the train. Softly she slipped out OF
bed, opened her satchel and felt for
the chocolate.
What in the deuce are you trying
to do?' demanded Warren, suddenly
switching on the light by button be-
side his bed.
Nothing, DEAR" shrinking from the
sudden glare, Il was just looking for

some papers by a shaded reading
lamp.
When a little later he opened the
door to a waiter with a loaded tray

When finally the waiter opened the

the chairs still in a dazed but now
happy bewilderment. -..

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR

We are a nation of meat eaters and

to be constantly on guard against kid

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork:
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's

tanned in the blood to poison the en-

When your kidneys ache and feel

relief during the night; when you
have severe headaches, nervous and

Bewildered yet following a quick
impulse, Helen took from her trunk
one of her prettiest negligees. 1t was
a pale pink chiffon, charming over the
white lace of her night dress. Her
rumpled hair she smoothed under a
boudoir cap. Her eyes, no longer red
were now feverishly bright.
There are few conditions under
which a woman is not conscious OF
her charm, and even now Helen felt
a faint glow of pleasure as she glanced
in the mirror.

Without speaking he strobe past her

Still without deigning to glance
around the room. he scoWlingly lit a
cigarette. Helen stood awkwardly by
the window, fumbling with the tassel
of the curtain and waiting for him to

did neither.

which Warren sometimes subjected
her, Helen shrank even more than
from being ragged at. Once he had

her hand, Helen lay sobbing on the
blue silk draped bed at the Hotel

which had lured her into engaging
them, she was now Indifferent
Oh, why had she moved to this
place without consulting him? She
might have known he would find some
way to punish her.
Again she smoothed out and re-read
the crumpled note. 1t was brief and
sarcastic, saying merely that since she
had taken things in her own hands she
could keep it up'-and dine by her
self.
To deliberately leave her alone on
their second night in Paris was a
cruel punishment, and Helen had lain
there too heart sick to think of food.
Yet she had had nothing since break
fast, for in the excitement of getting
their baggage moved over from the
other hotel she had not stopped for
luncheon.
When at length she rose it was af-
