PROVE IT YOURSELF BY BUYING a box ol
 Tonoline Tablets NOW.

By George, I never saw anything like the effects of that new treatment, Tonoline Tablets, for building up of weight and lost nerve force. It acted more like miracle than a medicine, :" said a well-known gentleman yester- day in speaking of the revolution that had taken place in his condition. "I began to think that there was nothing on earth that could make me fat. I tried tonics, digestive, heavy eating, diets, milk, beer and almost everything SC you could think of
 Any man or woman who is thin can recover normal weight by the best new treatment Tonoline Tablets. "I have been thin for years and began to think it was natural for me to be that way. Finally I read about the remarkable processes brought about by use or Tono- line Tablets so I decided to try it my self. We'll, when I look at my self in the mirror now, think it is somebody else. Ihave put on just forty pounds during the last forty days, and never felt stronger.
 Tonoline Tabs are a powerful inducer to nutrition, increases cell-growth, food, increases the number of blood-cor puscles and as a necessary result builds up muscles, and solid healthy flesh, and rounds out the figure.
 For women who can never appear stylish in anything they wear because of their thinness this remarkable treat ment may prove a revelation. It is a beauty maker as we'll as a form builder and nerve strengthener. Tonoline Tabs cost $1 for a 50-days' treatment, at druggists, or mailed by American Pro- prietary Co.,, Boston, Mass.

No one fails to appreciate the charm
of the lace-trimmed and fluffy night
dresses that make up the mass OF
these garments. Always their pro.
ducers are presenting new designs
that captivate the eye with the dainty
combination of ribbons and laces
But there Is another charm which be-
longs to the hand-embroidered gown
1t is the charm of elegance as well as
beauty. There is nothing quite equal
to find hand embroidery in expressing
a refinement of taste, in undergar-
ments and other lingerie.
The needlewoman who can do fine
work can provide herself with lingerie
fit for queen by virtue of her needle
craft. Or II she wishes to turn her
accomplishment to profit she may be
sure that an appreciative world is
ready to admire-and pay for-expert
needlework. No one should put low
price on first-class hand embroidery
not time alone. but ability to do and
quality of workmanship are to be con
sidered in fixing its price
A fine hand-embroidered gown is
shown in the picture. All edges are
scalloped and finished with even but
tonhole stitching. A floral spray and
butterflies are portrayed on the sheer
batiste surface by means of the needle

Just how the modish girl manages
to achieve certain things is the ques-
ton that engages the attention of
other girls and inspires the wonder
ment and awe of the sterner sex. How
does she get on tiny turban over the
mass of fluffy hair which crowned her
head aforetime? Where has said hair
disappeared? How does she take on,
with the foolish little turban, mo
body home" expression that suits 1t
exactly but makes one look twice to
be sure of her identity? Some of these
questions can be answered and some
cannot. because the maid herself hard
ly knows how she manages.
Just now some of the new hair
dressing styles demand that the FORE
head shall be uncovered and that sim
plicity in the couture be made a
feature of its attraction. Some daring
souls have even gone to the extreme
OF combing the hair straight back
from the forehead and twisting the
ends into a plain. high coil at the top
of the head. A round, young face with
an abundance of hair to frame It may
manage a couture of distinction by
such simple means, but nearly all
people need soft. curving lines about
the forehead.
A clever couture is shown in the
picture, in which the hair is not
waved but laid in pretty curves about

stitches combine to make the success
of the design.
Gowns of this kind are prettiest
when cut by the simplest patterns. In
the example shown here the sleeves
and body are in one; the shape of
flaring sleeve is outlined by scallops
embroidered in lines on the body.
They merely add graceful lines and
pleasing workmanship, that is, they
are part of the finish" which makes
the hand-embroidered garment elegant
above others.
Lightweight, smoothly woven linen
or the best of fine cotton fabrics are
the materials which 1t Is worth while
to choose when handwork is to be
used in decorating lingerie.

Gold Fringe Trimming.

the face by pinning locks of it at each
side to form what are called water
waves" One way of doing this is to
dampen the hair and comb 1t back. A
band is then bound tightly about the
head and the hair pulled forward in
curves by means of the toilet comb.
The waves are then pinned with small
wire pins In the position left by the
comb.
The back hair may be arranged in a
psyche knot, as shown in the picture,
or in three fiat coils across the back
of the head. Or It may be worn in
high coil at the top of the head. In
any case the band is not taken OF
until the hairdress Is finished.
Narrow velvet bands about the hair
ara very fashionable, and they are
also very useful in holding the hair In
