The blouse is sleeveless, worn with

Lanvin Brings Out Idea.

many of her suits and coats. She has
also accentuated the fashion for the

the Young girls are wearing, of ctarched

Another exceedingly popular gown
that is going through all the phases
of good and bad workma nship is a
Jenny model in blue serge, with slim
bodice. long tight sleeves, faring cuffs
that are laced up the back with small
silk cords through large eyelets. and
ripping skirt that is held down at
the hips by broad patches of colored
embroidery.

]RECIPE TO CLEAR

Pimples Are Impurities Seek
J ing An Outlet Through
{ Skin Pores.

( Pimples, sores and boils usually
{result from toxins, poisons and
I impurities which are generated in
the bowels and then absorbed
into the blood through the very
ducts which should absorb only
J nourishment to sustain the body.
: 1t is the function of the kidneys
to filter impurities from the blood
and cast them out in the form of
urine, but in many instances the
bowels create more toxins and i'm
purities than the kidneys can
eliminate, then the blood uses the
skin pores as the next best means
of getting rid of these impurities
which often break out all over the
skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin
(of these eruptions, says noted
authority, is to get from any phar-
macy about four ounces of Jad
Salts and take tablespoonful in
a glass of hot water each morn
! ing before breakfast for one week
This will prevent the formation of
toxins in the bowels. 1t also stim-
ulates the kidneys to normal ac-
tivity, thus coaxing them to filter
the blood of impurities and clear
