Adding Color to Dead Tones.

So there is really no reason for wom-
en- to be discouraged in the recrudes-
eence of what are known generally as
the string tones. for by their adoption
she is allowed full play for her desire
for red, green, purple and blue. All
these shades are better against neu-
trail background than used in their en-
tirety. With a world filled with frocks,
coats and hats of beige and biscuit,
there is a glorious chance for those bar
barrie dyes that have found their way to
the market in a time OF world depreS-
sion.
1t may not be desirable to attach the
striking colors of the hour to the sur
face of garment of neutral tone, but
the chance for being bit savage lies
In the choice of hat, parasol stockings
and shoes, to say nothing of walking
cane and arm bag, both of which have
been adopted by the smartly dressed
woman to give a bit more color and
distinction to whatever costume she
elects.
These things are left to the individual.
but the designers are arranging color
schemes of their own to add to gar
ments of beige and biscuit Stitchery
and ornamental buttons are the two
methods of introducing clashing tones
and the French designers have shown
us all how to do this trick in simple
way, so that the dressmakers here, as
well as the manufacturers of inexpen-
sive clothing, can follow it. Most of
this stitchery is in the old chain stitch
that is now done by machine, although
the cost is not perceptibly reduced.
The dressmakers began by using black
or white stitching, but now they have
gone back to Callots method of using
bright colored threads such a scarlet,
apple green, Egyptian blue. These
names do not really describe the oriental
tones that have taken possession of the
dyepots: but they are the best a re-
porter can do.

and circles did his bit to help along the
industry of women's apparel. 1t is de-
batable as to the success of such gay
trif1es if they had been introduced in
the autumn, but coming, as they did, in
the first flush of spring, they met with
approval.
One of the gowns that have met with
success this month is combination OF
these new features of fashion; the color
is biscuit, the stitchery is Egyptian
blue and the buttons are blue, black
and white. The skirt has the universal
pleats at the sides and elects to live and
have its being without trimming. The
long tunic, which now rules in cloth as
well as in silk and jersey. is run with
bands of the material, which is serge,
and their edges are stitched with blue
thread.

dodge under those cornstalks. he had
hurried on. thinking that she might
be ahead of him.
When Nanny had called and called in
her funny little squeaky voice and re-
things over.
Probably he has gone on, thinking
am ahead of him." thought she, after
her first fright and worry. IF he
doesn't find me. as of course he won't,
he'll keep on to our old home and wait
for me there. I'm not going to worry
about him any more than I can help.
Danny is quite able to take care of
himself. I'll just follow right along.
and If he should turn back to look for
me I'll meet him."
So Nanny started on. and. because
she knew that the journey would be
long, she didn't run her legs off. as
Danny in his anxiety about her was
doing to his short legs. After awhile
she peeped out on the other side of the
another fence row. There were more
bushes and grass than along the fence
where she was. Nanny looked this way
and looked that way to make sure that
all was safe. then she darted across the
lane to the other fence row and con-
she went right past the place where. in
the opposite fence row, Danny was
taking a nap. And so. too, Of course,
Danny found no trace of her nor she
of him. But while he worried himself
almost sick she didn't let herself worry
very much. She felt entirely able to
take care of herself, and equally sure
that Danny could take care of himself.
She simply looked forward to finding
Danny in their old home. and hurried

A FAMILY
 MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Draught. Relief From Head
 ache, Malaria, ChiIls, Etc.

Ringgold, Ga Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, 1t was one of our family medicines. Also in my mothers home, when I was a child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg ular until the liver acted we'll, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without it, for 1t certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of Black Draught when not so we'll saves a lot of days in bed"
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which 1t now enjoys Is proof of it's merit.
 If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion, etc., trouble may result.
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy fer these troubles. It Is purely vegetable. and acts in prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed' lords. the original and genuine. E 79

Devon, were brought back to this city
today from Boston by Detective Ser
