seem delighted with the curious little
shoulder capes which were introduced
a month or two ago by Redfern.
We find these capes on coats of all
kinds; also on Afternoon dresses of an
elaborate order Beer is making a
at the hem and bordered all round
with fur; he makes these garments of
velvet, velours de laine, duvetyn, cam
el-hair cloth, brocaded satin and many
other stuffs.
The fur border nearly always meas
ures from eight to ten inches and on
some of the newest models--for in
stance that shown in my sketch--there
is no fur on any other part of the
coat. Beer still continues to make
skirts and coats very wide at the hem,
but ! notice he is not now so keen
about the hustle" outline. for which
we feel devoutly thankful. The Beer
dresses especially those intended for
afternoon wear--are still very ''fussy,
but the draperies at the side and back
seem rather to indicate a revival of
panniers than of bustles.
Paquin has been making some pic.
turesque wrap-coats which give a
short-waisted impression. These gar
ments are exceedingly picturesque
and graceful and the skirt OF the coat
is set into semitight top which is
fashioned like bolero. On tall, slight
women these coats are charming; they
are, as rule, quite long and the out
line is so picturesque that the coat
forms a sort of dress.
Very soft and supple materials are
used for these coats, and they are in
variably finished off with high collar
and wide cuffs made of some hand
some fur. One or two large buttons
are added and special attention is paid
to the Innings.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating Acids-splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a sealding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no
longer is source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

Petticoats,

Frocks must flare at the hip line
and at the bottom. For this there is
a new petticoat in organdie or stiff
taffeta, which has narrow. stiff ruff
fes at the hem and hips This is
to be worn under the soft, uDstiffened
frock of thin material. Another odd
petticoat is made of panels Of fine
embroidery, laced together with col
ored ribbons over insets of lace. A
taffeta top of another colored petit
coat has an embroidered net founce
to which are applied medallions of the
taffeta with a fancy buttonhole stitch.

raisins now and then should not be

Raisins have decided medicinal
value, as they have a laxative effect,
but for those who have trouble in
digesting them they are best steamed

explaining that it WAS inlpolite to

Embroidery Is Not to
Lose All of It's Color

The art of embroidery is much old
er than that of lacemaking and de-
spite the fact that modern machinery
has in many Instances supplanted the
hand-wrought examples of the en-
broiderer's art, nothing has been
found to actually take the place of
the simulated designs of flowers and
geometrical effects that are copies of
patterns used for years and years by
the needle painter" of the peasantry
of Europe.
Every season there is provided Just
the right kind of embroidery to &C
company the new washable fabrics
put on the market. The looms of the
great Rodier are constantly expert
menting to produce exquisite cotton
linen or cotton-and-linen mixtures
which bring as big a price in Amer
lea as do silks or satins. These ma
terials are usually matched up in en-
broideries whose basic ground is of
the weave of the dress which they
trim.
Color forms considerable part of
the new embroideries. Usually such
color is in pastel shades. although
there are examples where black is
used on white or cream ground. In
some quarters it is asserted that many
of the embroideries thus wrought are
really those that have been carried
over from last year. when dyes were
more plentiful than they are now.
However this may be, it looks as

SHOWING CHANGE IN TIMES
Historical Researches as to Status of
the After-Dinner Speaker Are
Somewhat Interesting.

James G. Cleary, the well-known
New York lawyer and after-linner
speaker, while speaking at banquet
of hotel men in Boston, recently, RS
ferred to the "after-dinner speech" in
this wise:
Il had occasion not long ago to- con-
duct some little research into the orig
in, history, cause and effect of the
after-dinner speech, and l was some
what surprised to find that during the
feudal days of England and also in
Rome in the reign of Nero the object
and purpose of the after-dinner speech
were entirely different from what they
are today. In those days it was con-
sidered and used exclusively as a
barometer to indicate the mental and
physical condition of the speaker. In
other words, If the speaker, after
spending an hour or perhaps several
hours at the festal board, with convi-
vial and other spirits, could then stand
upon his feet and talk intelligently, or
even coherently, he was considered
to have demonstrated staying quail
ties Of az exceptionally high order
In the course of time, however, the
purpose of the after-dinner speech I'M
derwent radical change, and now,
instead of being used to indicate the.
condition of the speaker 1t has be-
come test of the physical endurance
of the audience"

daring each'iyea that bird .Iovers on
both the Americans and Canadian
sides of the falls are considering
steps to lessenA the4animal toll of the
feathered life.
Since a majority of the victims
are claimed in The night, the theory
is advanced thatethe birds gojto sleep
while swimmingband don't wake up
until the rapidsI have carried them
over the dangertline. U.ually they
are killed outright in the fall. Some
times they aresonly stunned and are
picked out Of the river below the
falls and sold FLOR food.
In 1912, sosErnest Harold Baynes,
the naturalist relates, 40 whistling
swans went over Horseshoe falls.
Boys and men fished the birds out,
knocked them on theihead and sold
them.
"James Savage of Buffalo," Mr..
Baynes says, "withssome friends, once
saved a flock of swans by chasing
them in a powerboat and making
them fly away just before nightfall.
1t was daring thing for these men
to do, for, if by any chance the en-
! gine had become disabled, nothing
could have prevented their going
over the falls" ."-Philadelphia North
