Fashion Walks
AT Paris Races
Dominant Notes of Season
Are the Cape and the Long
Over skirt

The spring races in Paris empha-
sized two important issues which lead
the vanguard of smart summer modes.
One of these is the return of the
cape as a separate wrap worn and as
a component part of the fetching little
coats or Jackets employed for cos
tunes.
The other dominant note is the over
whelming reign OF the long overskirt,
which frequently flares aggressively.
only TO emphasize the bondage of the
feet and ankles, modishly deprived Of
normal freedom by the scant petit
coat.
The most casual observer will note
that the silhouette is undergoing a
series of transformations that may yet
develop that attribute OF saintliness,
wings, the only line of projection thus
far overlooked.
One model is typical of its kind and
copied from the toilette appearing at
the smart meets abroad. Here 1t is
developed in flame blue silk poplin
lined and trimmed with coral pink taf-
feta. The front is slashed to provide
for surplice ends, which is charac
teristic note of the new cape in any
form whatsoever. The sleeves are
slightly belled.
Very similar was a cape costume Of
white and black striped taffeta, having
black ground with quarter inch
satin stripes about three inches apart,
developed or rather combined with
brocaded white taffeta that formed the
waistcoat and collar. The skirt was
quite plain, flaring but slightly. The
cape, dropping twelve inches below
4 - oh nv ~
seams to set" TO the figure over the
shoulder. The cape swung around
only TO the sides, revealing the waist
coat in front.
Another costume was developed in
dark blue serge, of summer weight and
superfine quality. combined with Ro-
man stripes, MORE enlivened with old
rose, green black and yellow stripes.
A friend just returning from Paris de-
clares that instead of the usual coat
and skirt costumes for outdoor wear,
the cape in simple forms has sup
planted the usual garment.
Charming novelty cottons are thus
developed in white and fashionable
colors. not infrequently capped with
narrow black collars that throw into
summary contrast the high Gladstone
collars of the blouse.
One hears and see so much OF the
overskirt, for the tunic is now pasSe
as a name.
Some truly wonderful contours have
been rendered with the adoption of
the full. flowing, shall / say floating,
overskirt since a few have reeds in
their folds.
The overskirt may start at the
waistline. on or trifle below the hip
line. 1t is hung straight, also at vary
ing angles. 1t dips in front back or
at the sides, and not infrequently is
and box plated, accordion plated,
gathered pulled up, tucked under,
plain on the edge or trimmed, cut off
evenly or shaped into scallops points
or battlement outlines.
The overskirt is the most versatile
and obliging detail of dress today.

How a Mans Liver
Defends His Life

The liver is usually quiet, unas-
Stunning organ and we do not think
much about it. 1t has, however, pro-
tective, functions that should com

In the process of intestinal indiges-
ton there are set free what physicians
and scientists call toxic bodies" in
other words ,poisons. If these poisons
enter into the circulation of the blood
biliousress or sick headache results.
Regularly the liver is able to destroy
these toxic bodies but If 1t lags in its
work they quickly form in amounts
excessive enough to be troublesome.
Headache, constipation, dizziness,
furred tongue, wind on the stomach,
bad complexion are the means by
which nature gives warning that the
liver needs help.
The remedy Is to stimulate the liver
