The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1916-01-20

Toned by tailor. Fine blue serge
soutached, or trimmed with design in
gold braid or galoon, is most often seen
in the bolero models; often the upper
portion of the pleated or gathere skirt
is of taffeta in black or the same tone
as the serge. Collars and cuffs Of tat
feta and taffeta covered buttons are
also used with good effect.
Stripes and Checks.
In both the suitings and the soft silks
being fashioned into frocks and suits
for southern wear and early spring,
the popularity of stripes and checks
is quite as marked as it was last season;
the combination of black and white and
soft gray is also noticeable. The soft
wool suitings in checks ranging from
the very tiny pattern to the aggressive
checker board designs are all good, re-
lieved with a touch of vivid green, rose,
or orange: black taffeta and more are
also effective for trimming these suits
anu tailored ffockS. The striped silks
are usually combined with plain satin
or silk, in tone that harmonizes with
or is an effective contrast to the pre-
dominating color in the striped material.
Sheer fabrics, crepe Georgettes, chiffon
cloths, silk voils and the various other
transparent fabrics promise to be as
good for sleeves, collars and other
trimming purposes as they have been
for the past few seasons.
Net Blouses Practical.
Blouses of Chiffon cloth, chiffon, and
similar materials, dainty and becoming
to a degree, were never very durable,
1t was really heartbreaking when ont
had a particularly becoming and rather

For those of us who are fortunate
enough to be able to step, as it were,
from beneath the cloudy, wintry skies
of the north into the sunshine and
flowers of the south, the shops are

The Popular Bolero Suit.
When the various European countries
unconsciously exerted their influence on
styles by their entry into the war, or
their equally difficult stand to neutrali-
ty, the bolero was again introduced
into the woman's wardrobe, it being
the Spanish note. 1t is model that
has always been great favorite. It

Dreaded an Operation
More Than Anything
TRIED FRuIToLA AND TRAxo
AND HAS NEVER SINCE BEEN VI
TROUBLED WITH GALL
STONES.

Mrs. Mary E. F'ranse, whose address
Is West Point, Nebr., Box Ali. has
written to the Pinus laboratories a
very strong endorsement of Fruttola
and Taxo. IN her letter, Mrs. Franse
says: "About ten years ago i was
about to undergo an operation for gall
stones when I heard Of your medicine.
Dreading an operation above every.
thing determined to try Fruitola and
Traxo and have never been sorry did
so, as I have never been troubled with
gall-stones since"
Fruitola Is a powerful lubricant for
the intestinal organs, and one dose Is
usually sufficient to give ample evi.
dence OF its efficacy. It softens the con.
gested masses, disintegrates the hard
ened particles that occasion 80 much
suffering, and expels the accumulated
waste to the great relief OF the patient.
Following dose of F'ruitola, Traxo
should be take three or four times q
day in order by constant suffering. It
Is a splendid tonic, acting on the liver
and stomach most benefcially.

According to Leroy Howard. his
son, who has charge of getting out the
valentines for the publishers, about
54,000,000 Of his fathers comics were
ordered this year! These broadsides
OF sarcasm aimed at all the pests in
the populace, go to every state OF the
Union, the British isles and Europe.
Father began about 25 years ago
designing comic valentines" said
young Howard. The. demand was so
great the output leaped into hundreds
Of thousands"
Howard asks neither praise nor crit
icism OF his valentine cartcatures.
They are what the public wants, he
says. and he supplies the public at no
small profit to himself
The problem troubling his publish.
ers is how this want is to be filed
when Howard quits. His son admits
he has not inherited his fathers tai
ents, and though there have been imi-
tators, no person has been found, &C.
cording to the firm, who can make
comic valentines nlthe Howard style.
