LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen tender corn
or calius so it lifts out
without pain.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that q few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet. tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

their shadows correctly, the slender sill

OLD SLEEVES COME BACK
Early Victorian Sleeves, Showing Leg
o Mutton Style, Are Worn
In Paris.

In Paris they are wearing many ear
ly Victorian sleeves which show the
leg o. mutton style. AS they are almost
always expressed in flimsy materials,
the "gigot" effect is not prominent, and
the folds of muslin or lace fall away
from the arms in a peculiarly becom-
ing fashion.
These loose sleeves are always three
quarter length, and they are intro
duced on dresses and picturesque
coates alike. Another fashionable
sleeve-alsO a revival-is OF moyen-
age persuasion, absolutely tight from
elbow To wrist, and finished with a
becoming petal cuff which almost
hides the hand.
These sleeves should be fastened
with very small pressure buttons or
tiny hooks and eyes on the under seam
in no other way can they be made to
preserve their skin-tight outline.

BLOUSE WITH SQUARE NECK
Pretty Fashion Is Rendered Doubly So
i'm Its Modern Develop
ment.

The square necked blouse or bodice
is pretty fashion rendered doubiy so
in its modern development, for the
square is either deep enough to allow
of the whole thing slipping over the
head (cOtta-fashiOn) or else is pro-
vided with a clipped fastening just at
the neck on the shoulder TO permit of
this easy means of entrance. A par
ticularly pretty example of the latest
square-necked blouse provides for the
material to be gathered to the edge by
squire yoke, and looks equally
charming in crepe de chine, muslin
japanese silk or any of the materials
now in vogue.
