and the normal waist line sharply de- fined by close-fitting girdle of the material. Wide shoulders, a skirt longer than those of the season just past, and sleeves of crepe, like the gown in color, are all characteristics of the spring and summer styles.
 The simple turnover collar of or gandie and the open throat lead us to think twice about the rumor that elaborate collars are about to pass into the realm of memories. But the rumor has still to be verified, and coll lars will not pass without regret. Many of the new gowns have a small Vshaped opening at the throat and a high-standing collar of silk at the back of the neck, with frill of lace set in, yelling the neck most becomlngly.
 A detail of finishing that harmonizes with the style of the model shown here appears in the very simple design in embroidery at the front of the girdle There is very little of it, but it serves to introduce bit of additional color inasmuch as two colors besides that of the gown are used in 1t. This model is shown in blue, olive green brown, and amethyst.

years old and one eight months old, The baby last winter had an obstinate cough for quite a while. Mrs. Mar. shall used VapO-Rub and writes The cough soon yielded to this treat. ment after several different cough medicines had been tried with no of. feet" Mrs. Marshall also writes- "Vap-O-Rub appeals to us because the delicate little stomachs are not be. ing loaded down with medicines con. taining opium and other harmful in gredients."
 Mrs. J. s. Hollis, 1922 Forest Ave, used Vap-O-Rub for "a terrific cold could not breathe through my nose at all-impossible to go to sleep. Used Vick's Vap-O-Rub and in five minutes was asleep and breathing easily"
 Mrs. w. A. Winkler. 622S E. 18th St. says-"My baby had a cold. almost pneumonia. l used Vap-O-Rub on him as directed. and in one days time he was better"
 Mrs. Anna Taylor, 6040 Walrono Ave. has four children, and says-I have never used anything as good for coughs and colds as Vap-O-Rub."
 Mrs. Harry Webb, 2123 E. 37th St, says-"Our little girl is very suscep. tible to colds, and in fact this Is the only winter and spring that she has es. capped pneumonia. and we believe it io Vap-O-Rub that haB kept her from . spell this year." Three sizes-25o soc and $1 00,

The frock for afternoon wear shown here Is one of many made of taffeta that have been designed for the fast coming spring and summer seasons. No other silk Is quite so well adapted to the full, spreading skirts and to pannier draperies. The body" and crispness of taffeta insure the re- quired full effects in skirts without a burdensome quantity of material, and make a sufficient support for pannier draperies. These properties cause it to be used in bands on softer ma terials, such as net, crepe, chiffon, and the like, and, coupled with it's attrac- tiveness, promise to make it a dom. inant style feature as long as the pres ent fashions endure.
 While one of the simplest of the pannier inspirations, and very con servative as to width of skirt, the pretty gown pictured betrays it's al legiance to the dictates of the mode in every particular. The fullness o1 the skirt is let in, in plaits at the sides and in scant gatherings across the front and back, the pannier dra peries are cut separately and set on

Personal Appearance.

While clothes are an important fac tor in ones appearance, it is not the only one to be considered. So many busy housekeepers neglect to pay suf- ficient attention to their own personal appearance. We are not all born beau ties, neither are we born homely, un- less the case be abnormal A clean, healthy woman who carries herself erect and dresses herself properly is never homely, while on the other hand a slovenly. sickly, cranky person is never pretty. However our features may differ, if we are normal we all have hands, feet, hair, complexions and figures that need attention to keep them in good order and in good shape.

They Find "External" Treatment Better Than Internal Medicines for
 Children's Colds.

We give below letters from a num- Der of Kansas City, Mo, ladies who were selected by their druggists to try out Vap-O -O-Rub-the outside" treat ment for cold troubles, introduced in Kansas City last winter. Vap-O-Rub is the invention of a North Carolina druggist. It comes in salve form, and has a two-fold action-first, the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of vapors, that are inhaled with eact breath--second, Vap-O-Rub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the congestion.

No one knows better than the motor ist just what she demands in head wear-except the people whose busi- ness lies in supplying her demands. Motor hats look simple, but they exact much of the designers, whose difficult task lies in making them comfortable, durable. attractive and in line with the changing styles. Their manufacture has grown to business of great impor- tance, and specialists in this particu- lar line of millinery leave nothing un- done that will make for the success of their product. A rapidly and con stantly increasing demand rewards them.
 The two motor hats shown here are selected from collection of many that have been designed for the con- ing season. Most of them are made by combining pliable millinery braids with silk, but the collection includes others made entirely of silk or other fabrics. Among the latter those of the smart new stripes in jersey cloth are gay and novel.
 The most important factor in the success of motor hat is its fit. This has been assured in the two hats pic. tured, by the insertion of the head band of elastic cord that holds the hat close to the head. This clever bit of management has been patented.
 The hat at the left has a grace fully shaped brim covered with tan colored braid and a soft crown of green silk. A band, made of the braid and bound with silk is fastened to the crown. apparently with small orna- ments made of cord covered with silk.
