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 a furbelow of any de-
scription, it is made of a cravenetted
wool fabric, firm as to weave and fair
ly light as to weight. The skirt Is
full and flaring, 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 smart coat is held in to the fig
ure by a belt of the material. and has
a flaring and pointed peplum. Ma
chine stitching, irreproachable as to
neatness and accuracy of line, empha-
sizes its value as a finish, because
there is no ornamentation to distract
the attention from it. There is

tons close up about 1t, under the chin.
Three buttons at the top of the coat
continue a row begun by two on the
collar, and three smaller buttons. of
the same kind, are placed on the back
of the sleeves near the hand
The belt fastening is ingenious and
betrays that careful thought was given
to every detail of the suit. At each
end the belt is extended into a tongue.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of sc.
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
OF the patients urine. He knows that un.
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health OF these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy Is

GARDEN NOTES

The flowers of the plumbago capensis
are of an unusual shade of blue. 1t
requires about the same treatment as
the fuchsia and as a rule flowers con-
tinuously. 1t Is a good plant for a
cool conservatory and many succeed
well with it in the window garden.
AS the weather moderates toward
spring the double glass in the hot
bed sash will not be needed and the
top sash can then be dispensed with
or used to protect from frost plants
that are set out too early.
Look to the trees about the home
and carefully destroy all bag cocoons.

and then pull them, disturbing the
surrounding flowers. even if none are

Use a sharp knife or scissors when

not quite developed will last longest.
Keep the stems of the newly cut flow

bouquets.

one of the most accommodating OF
plants. 1t makes a fine showing rap
