Eating meat regularly eventually

and misery in the kidney region: rheu.

HIP DRAPERY PUZZLES

ed by the growing acceptance OF pan
niers and farthingales, and gathers
and plaits over the hips.
There is really not SO much cause
for anxiety 6s there seems to be on
the surface. The American type
that is, the woman with the broad
shoulders. long waistline and flattened
hips need not worry about anything
in fashions: her slim hips solve all
problems, for after all. the great bat
tie Of fashions during the centuries
has been question Of whether or not
you bulge out below the waist.
However. every woman cannot hold
herself up as the American type. She
has all the curves that she is heir to,
and diet, mental science and dancing
cannot always reduce the curve that
for generations was considered wom
ans chief beauty and is now consid
cred her chief handicap.
The reason that the women with
curves need not worry about this in.
coming fashion for hip draperies
is that the dressmakers have enough
skill at their fingers ends to mako
the fashion becoming to them
Naturally. when the hips are eX
tended, the Jackets are short; and in
the spring Of 1916, their very short
ness will be used as a way of dis
tending the hip line. Not one of them
hangs straight down to the waist;
they are all fluted out to give the ap
pearance Of ruffs--a trick which al
lows the skirt drapery to expand, as
it is meant to do.
Here is another important feature
OF the majority of the new coats;
they hang open in front in order to
show great splash of barbaric color
placed beneath the front Of the blouse
at the waist line.
When separate blouses are worn
not wash ones. but ornate ones-this
effect is obtained through a wide belt
that has this brilliant ornamentation
in front. 1t is difficult to say whether
this work is Asiatic, American, Indian
or Russian. 1t Is usually made Of
glass beads in barbaric colors with
splashes of Chinese embroidery. Some.
times the entire ornament is Chinese
Some Of these belts might have been
worn by Genghis Khan.

The return of the d!stinctlvely
marked waist was inevitable when
once redingotcs had been accepted by
tho average woman.
The redingotc. like tho Louis XIV
coat. is close fitting at bust and waist.
II il SO shaped that II molds the hg'
ure, and II does not look smart or at
tractlye unless strongly marked curves
are In evidence.
A redngotc demands rounded bust
and moderately rounded hips; the
same mag be said of Louis XIV coats
And ,hcso are the two most popular
outer garments OF the present season.
A beautiful little Louis NV coat
which illustrates what has Just been
said was seen a short while ago. 1t
was OF stone gray material. and the
lining was a rich chinz SILK which
showed deep orange and black howers
on IN ivory ground.
The big buttons were In mother OF
pearl. They were "knobby," like all
tho mother OF pearl buttons OF the
present hour, The basque OF tho coat
WINS very full ut the hem. but NJ the
waist the little garment was quite
tight
Immense patch pockets appeared on
