A lovely gown Of black net, with
fiounces bordered with corded or
banded taffeta, is distinguished by
much originality. Several novel ideas
appear in its finishing, which might be
used on gowns made of any Of the
sheer fabrics that add SO much to the
midsummer wardrobe.
The model is made over slip of
black taffeta with plain skirt and low
bodice, which serves as foundation
and support for the net overdress.
This has two fiounces. one overlap
ping the other, headed by two puffs
which form shorter, doubled flounces,
about the hips.
The net bodice is shirred on to a
narrow band at the round neck with a

A trim and interestingly practical
suit, meant to fill the needs of the
schoolgirl, proclaims itself an Ameri-
can design made for an American
girl. Without furbelow of any de-
scription, it is made of cravenetted
wool fabric, firm as to weave and fair
ly light as to weight. The skirt is
full and fiaring, but it achieves these
desirable traits without plaits of any
kind, by means OF Tapped seams and
shaped cores. 1t is finished with
three-inch hem and appears longer in
the picture than it need be. Shoe-top
length would mean additional style.

the nicely ironed clothes on the rack
ever growing more and more is a con-
stant inspiration. You have something
to show for your work.
Today the woman who is her own
laundress eliminates all the work that
is possible, wearing crepe underwear
and dresses, thus cutting down the
ironing At best, ironing, If well done,
is firing work, but by planning and
forethought 1t may be made much
easier. Before beginning, see that all
things needed are at hand, fresh
clean cover on the ironing board, wax
for the irons and, II it is possible. an
electric iron, for it saves much fatigue
walking back and forth getting fresh
irons, and bowl of water and a clean
cloth to dampen too dry spots or re-
move soiled spot.
A higa stool to sit on while ironing
is great strength saver, the feet may
rest on a chair round and the small
pieces, napkins, handkerchiefs and
towels and pillow cases, ironed quite
as we'll as when standing.
When ironing the larger pieces fold
a thick rug in several folds and place
under the feet.
An electric mangle is a wonderful
aid in the household that has much
laundry, for all the fiat pieces can be
quickly ironed and much better than
by hand work.
Have the ironing board of the right
height so that the work may be done
with the least possible fatigue. A
room we'll ventilated is another essen
tial in making ironing more comfort
able, and few minutes in darkened
room on comfortable couch will rest
one so that the work may be resumed
and finished without exhausting
fatigue.

Else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches. rheumatic twinges. torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all

feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here.

water before breakfast for q few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com.
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so It
no longer irritates. thus ending blad-
