'OLD-FASHIONED FLOWERS

There should be corner in the
home garden for the old-fashioned
flowers so loved by our grandmothers
and mothers. The fragrant pink and
sweet william, the sun-warmed mari
gold. the scented mignonette, the state
ly wall flower and the sweet alyssum
that so often encircles all the others
with its snowy border.
How they each and every one flash
into our hearts memories of other days
and of lovely faces now gone, and how
they inspire us to a higher and better
life!

shirtwaist under a coat. Today, since
good taste demands that we do not sit
in public in our shirtsleeves, the neck
wear people have reaped a harvest
through the various kinds of sleeve
less bodices which they have intended
to go under coat as substitute for
a blouse. Organdie, chiffon and white
muslin in various weaves are conven-
tional fabrics to use for these fronts
that allow the coat to be unbuttoned,
If not removed.
But the new note is the departure
from the white to the checked fabrics.
A new colored jersey suit carries a
waistcoat made of heliotrope and white
checked taffeta. A dark blue serge
carries waistcoat of blue and white
checked bingham. A natural colored
pongee coat suit has front of geran-
ium red and yellow checks. Black and
white Bingham or taffeta Is used for
the full waistcoat of an oyster white
japanese silk suit.
These little garments are really
sleeveless blouses; they're not even
first cousins to the long, tight-ftting,
Louis XVI waistcoat which the French
have put into the topcoats and circu-
lar capes for motoring. They are at
tached to an elastic band that goes
around the waist and are fastened up
the front with pearl or colored buttons.
One can wear white turnover collar,
but the smart thing is to keep the col
lar of the fabric.

given an opportunity by the public.
Well, they have had the opportunity In
America, and, except In rare cases,
they have not shown any desire to take
advantage of 1t.
On the other hand, the American
women have shown some eXtraordi-
nary good work in origination.
Now, this is just where the reform,
rs the critics of French clothes call
1t, should start. Paris has depended
on its well-dressed women to lead the
way in clothes for three centuries.
America has depended on it's shops
and dressmakers over here to lead
the way with French models. There
is vast gulf of difference between
the two procedures.
Women and Experiments.
There is no doubt of the fact that
women who are experts in the art of
dressing and choosing clothes have
done some excellent work this sum
mer in branching out on successful
experiments. There may have been
some tailor or artistic dressmaker be-
hind their efforts. Wherever the cos
tune was complete in it's daring and
showed the hand of master-worker,
II was undoubtedly made at a good
establishment, but the suggestion
surely emanated from the brain of
the possessor.

thrown to the winds. The extraordi-
nary influx of cotton fabrics in the

The shops continue to display
blouses-tailored and otherwise made
for late summer wear Tailored mod
els are of crepe de chine and other
wash silks, while georgette crepe holds
its own first place for dressy wear.
The lingerie blouses of fine white voile,
trimmed with narrow filet, cluny or lin

blouseS do almost as well, with careful
washing.
A blouse Of white pussy willow taf
feta is one Of the few tailored mod
els which Is not uncomprOmisingly
plain. 1t has very simple pattern on
the front wrought in small white and
blue beads. Except for this it is en-
tirely plain, relying for It's style upon
a wide sailor collar and deep pointed
cuffs turned back at the wrists.
In the blouse of georgette narrow
revers at the front widen into a collar
that Is deep at the back and edged
with narrow filet lace. Fine tucks, in
two groups, extend from the shoulder
seams to the line of the bust and
dainty pattern in silk embroidery fin
ishes the decoration. The sleeves are
gathered into deep plain cuffs and all
seams are hemstitched.
Among new arrivals there are few
blouses that fasten in the back. They
are provided with high collars and ia

These specialists adapt the new styles

A PINE BLUFF MAN GIVES EVIDENCE
His Testimony Will Interest Every
 Pine Bluff Reader.

The value of local evidence IS in- disputable. It is the kind of evidence we accept as true because we know we can prove it for ourselves. There has been plenty of such evidence in the Pine Bluff papers lately, and this straight-forward testimony has es- tablished confidence in the minds of Pine Bluff people that will not be easily shaken.
 William H. Schaaf, blacksmith, 319 E. Third street, Pine Ruff, says: q was bothered the greater part of my life with weak kidneys. I had a dull ache in my back for long time and there were sharp, shooting pains across my kidneys. My kidneys acted too freely day and night. Dizzy spells distressed me and specks seemed to float before my eyes. Doan's Kidney Pills put my kidneys in good shape and did me good 'n every way. I always keep a supply of Doan's on hand"
