COLLAR FOR COMFORT
BROAD, LOOSE DESIGN IS THE

Consider the ups and downs of the collar-or perhaps we should say, the rise and fall-and you will find a reliable excuse for the sore throats of a lifetime.

 Undoubtedly the so-called radical changes in blouse styles are pretty generally confined to some new fash ioning of collar or sleeves, for the actual blouse often remains unchanged from year to year, but let an odd twist or turn be introduced in neck or sleeves, and To! we have something novel in blouses

FULL SKIRT HAS WON PLACE
Not as Yet Fully Adopted, but Many of the Smart Dressers Have
 Taken 1t Up.

With the short coat and its military collar the skirt varies, but the full skirt without a tunic claims prece- dence in the very smartest models and is gradually making itself more and more felt, though for the great mass of winter frocks and suits the long tunie in one form or another will hold good. Paris sponsored the plain full skirt early in the season and the later models emphasize the idea, but the earliest showing here leaned rather to the tunic models, and Amer ican women are slow in accepting the newer skirt.
 And yet one sees it worn here and there wherever smartly dressed wom- en congregate, and it is featured more and more prominently in shops of the better class. One afternoon during the American fashion show at the Ritz Carlton, in New York, a group of five well-known actresses happened to foregather on the stairway, and each of the five was wearing a version of the plain full skirt

The Mercy-Seat.

Thou must not look so much at the evil that is nigh, but rather at that which stands ready to pity and help and which hath pitied and helped thy distressed soul, and will pity and help it again. Why is there merey-seat, but for the sinner to look toward In time of need? Be patient till the Lords tender mery and love visit thee again; and then, look up to him against this and such like snares, which would come between thee and the appearance of the Lords love; that thou mayest feel more of his abid- ings with thee, and of the sweet ef- fleets thereof. For these things are not to destroy thee, but to teach thee wis dom; which the Lord is able, through many exercises and sore trials, to be- stow upon thee; that thy heart may be rid of all that burdeneth, and filled with all it rightly desires after, in the proper season and goodness of the Lord; to whose wise ordering and ten- der mercy I commit thee.-Isaac Pen ington.

FACES CHANGE WITH FASHION
Remarkable Transformation to Be Noted as the Styles of the
 Seasons Vary.

Have you noticed how fashions in clothes and fashions in faces go hand in hand?
 For instance, year before last, think it was, when the vampire face was rampant, the mysteriously pulled down hat completely shadowing the eyes came in vogue. At this time the slim, slit, seductive clothes were worn, and a stranger walking along one of our principal streets must have had the impression that some dread dis ease had taken hold of nearly all of our young girls.
 Next year, a transformation, The vampire shed her slinky garments and sophistication and became the sweet est little chocolate-eating doll with an "oh-what-a-wicked-w expression on her pretty little pink-cheeked face. And if you remember rightly it was at this season that the youthful short waisted dresses, dainty slippers and all sorts of fluffy things appeared.
 We seem to have reached normal condition this season. I have seen more clear-eyed, red-cheeked, healthy looking girls in the very sanest clothes imaginable, than I can remem- Der seeing for a long, long time.

The Cape With a Yoke.

The cape with yoke, that most old-fashioned-looking garment, is very much in fashion for an evening wrap. Often this yoke is only the appearance of yoke, for the cape is cut on cir cular lines, shirred in below the shoul- ders to form the semblance of a yoke and give it added warmth.

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs will not correct the evils caused by coffee and that the only remedy is to stop drink ing it.
 An Arkansas doctor says:
 T was a coffee drinker for many years and often thought that I could not do without 1t, but after years of suffering with our national malady, dyspepsia, attributed it to the drink ing of coffee, and after some thought, determined to use Postum for my morning drink
 T had the Postum made carefully according to directions on the pkg. and found it just suited my taste.
 At first used 1t only for breakfast, but I found myself getting so much better, that had it at all meals, and I am pleased to say that have been re lieved of indigestion. I gained 19 pounds in 4 months and my general health is greatly improved.
 T must tell you of a young lady in Illinois. She had been in III health for many years, the vital forces low, with but little pain. l wrote her of the good that Postum did me and advised her to try 1t.
 At the end of the year, she wrote me that she had gained 40 pounds in weight and felt like herself again"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to We'll ville," in pkgs.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Regular Postum-must be we'll boiled. 15c and 25c packages.

Of the soul rather than the regular

we are at this very moment in love
with a woman who is "a years old

can remember, her face has been
telling of happy thoughts, hope, and
goodness and it has a beauty that is
glorious, a beauty that time has

they fold her hands over her quiet

A WoMAN's BEAUTY

- "SWHN = DEHO L.. one Has
a typical Grecian nose and other fea-
lures so regular as to make a most
beautiful face" says a critic. of one
of the well-known actresses who has
now Joined the movies.
That's the way to describe beauty
in COW, railroad station, an auto
mobile, or anything else in which
there's no possibility of soul show
ing forth, but to people of intelli-
gence and judgment there must be
something more than type and reg,
ularity to make the human face truly
beautiful.
Every girl, every middle-aged,
every old woman can be beautiful.
Right thoughts, bright thoughts,
happy thoughts make a beauty more
impressive and lasting than can reg
ularity of feature and all the arti-
fetal aids in the market. =. The Gre
clan nose wrinkles at 35 and the
other artistic" features are gone at
40. The happy disposition written in
woman's face by generous and bright
thoughts is a beauty that cheats
time.
Very often plain-faced woman is
most beautiful. 1t is not the shape
of the face, but what's in the face,
that makes true beauty. That actress
may be most beautiful, facially, but
she'n be failure in the movies unless
he puts sentiments into her posings
