DOTTED SWISS WIDELY USED
Makes 1t Very Much in Evidence
In Little Girls Wardrobes.

No material lends itself more to
originality In fashioning the little
girls clothes than the dotted swiss.
And now, when there is dearth of
desirable fabrics on account of the for
eign war, dotted swiss is distinctly in
evidence. Not only is it obtainable In
white with dots of various sizes but
shades to vivid yellow and pink. Pale
pink, ecru, white and white with pale
blue dots are the most suitable for the
little girls wardrobe.
While the dotted swiss is most desir-
able for the little girls dress, there are
many other uses for which it is adapt
ed. For instance, ecrue swiss is most
attractive as lining for q pongee
coat. White dotted swiss combined
with China silk also makes an effec4
tive outside garment for summer
wear.
Then, too, there are many other
ways in which the dotted swiss is
found to be a valuable factor in the
child's outfit. Cunning aprons are
made of the swiss. These aprons are
made in envelope fashion and trimmed
with a narrow edge of VaIenciennes
lace,
In addition, collars suitable for wear
on a coat or silk dress are made of
the swiss; sashes, bonnet strings, and,
indeed, hats and bonnets as well, are
all made from this durable material.

Bears the
Life Preservers Improved.

Submarine warfare has resulted in
numerous improvements in life pre-
servers and the buOys. The passen-
gers on any ship that sails the Allan
tic today are likely to find themselves
bObbing about in the icy water with
no support but a cork jacket. Some
time ago a number of sailors on q
tOrpedOed ship saved their lives at
night by signaling to the rescuers
with little electric flash lamps. This
principle has now been incorporated
into the latest life buoy by an at
tachment which carries electric flash
lamps as a part of it's eQipment. The
lamps burn steadily as soon as the
buoy hits the water, and serve to in
dictate the position of the person sup
ported to any boat that may be search
ing for survivors.

The Mannish Shirt.

There are really many women who
have found that the mannish shirt is
easier and more generally suitable
than the usual sort Of frilled and
tucked and lacy blouse that most wom-
en- wear. Of course, all women wear
suits nowadays and most women have
one suit at least that is cut on the reg
ulation tailor style-nOtched collar
belted back, long plain sleeves and
plain buttoned front. And women still
wear their suit skirts short enough to
look sensible, and there is nothing so
very unusual in seeing woman wear
low-heeled shoes on the sports order for
the street. So looking mannish now
adays is not so very much of a jump
from looking simply well dressed for
the street.

FOR TEN-YEAR.0LD
Oaintiness of Finish Marks New
Frocks for Young Girls.
Pique Strongly Favored, Among Other
Sturdy Tub Fabrics, for Children's
Dresses This Season.

The little frock shown in the accom-
panying sketch designed for a girl of
eight to twelve years, is made of fine
white pique and is trimmed with a
very narrow soutache braid applied
in conventional design. The oddly
shaped little coat or jacket is separate
from the frOck proper. The latter is
cut on simple, straight lines. The
waist fits easily and extends a trifie
lower than the normal waistline
where the skirt is attached by large
fiat or box plaitS.-
The fiat plaits are more effective,
and are also more easily Numbered
which is feature worth considering.
The sleeveless jacket is exactly alike
back and front, and it fastenS with
small buttons on the left shoulder and
at the side. This is really not neces-
sary, except that when opened and
laid fiat on the board it can be more
easily irOned than when the shoulders
are scanned. Daintiness of fit distin-
cuisines this little frOck, and the same
holds true of all apparel designed for
members OF the younger generation
this season.
The frock may be braided in color
If desired, although as designed all
white is used, and this would undoubt-
edly prove the most satisfactory. A
bright touch of color may be given an
all-white frock by bow of bright rib
bon at the throat, and the frOck in
question is toned up by using a soft
sash of wide taffeta ribbon, which ties
about the waist, peeps beneath the
jacket underneath the arms, and falls
in loops and ends at the back
To make this frock for a ten-year-
old girl four and a half yards of ma
terial SO inches wide will be required.
Pique is very strongly favored for
children'S dresses this season. and an

FRENCH SEEK FOOT COMFORT
Talk Is Heard of Introduction OF
Round-Toed Oxford Among
American Women

There is a talk of introducing the
lean women for spring use. There are
still some sensible minds among wOm-
en- in this country, and the tendency
toward the medieval shoe of the
twelfth century with d point that has
grown almost long enough to roll up
and touch the fnstep, does not meet
with their approval, says an authority
on wOman's shoes.
The American manufacturers have
elongated the vamp of the shoe until
it is out of all proportion to any foot,
and they have balanced it on such high
heels that the entire forward part of
the foot is thrown down into this
toothpick vamp. All of which is good
for the chiropOdists and foot special
lists, but not for the sweet temper and
endurance of women.
The French have forsaken the
French heels; they have high. sturdy,
Spanish heels going from ground to
foot on a straight line that entirely
supports the body and keeps the spine
in a correct position. They have
shortened the vamp Of the shoe so
that it allows free play to the spring
of the foot where the toes begin and
they have rounded the vamp as ma
ture rounded the foot at that place.
Their feet not only look better than
they have looked in a century, but
the French women are learning to en-
JOY walking.
The American woman is wearing a
shoe that is neither comfortable nor
goOd-lOOking. 1t is wrong in every
particular. It does not support the
foot and it does not add to the at
Effectiveness of the silhouette.

GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY IT,
BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
Make 1t Thick, Glossy, WaVy, Luxur-
liant and Remove Dandruff-ReaI
Surprise for You.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluff
fy, abundant and appears as soft, lus-
trous and beautiful as 4 young girls
after a "Danderine hair cleanse" Just
try this-moisten a cloth with a little
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. This will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil
and in just a few moments you have
doubled the beauty of your hair.
Besides identifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle Of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig-
crates the scalp, forever stopping itch,
ing and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-growing all over the scalp. II
you care for pretty, soft hair and lots
of it, surely get Is cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any store
and just try it. Adv.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes a 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 a few drops of drug
called freeZone, applied directly upon
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
shriveIs 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 a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house-adv.

Died of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear of COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70
or 80 years of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, it causes
auto-intoxication. The more injuri-
ous the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
CANS be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It Is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, TO tighten the work Of the
kidneys This can be done by drink
Ing plenty of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia
for it dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

White Silk Gloves for Dress.

If it is true that leather for shoes
Is passing it is much more true that
kid for gloves is running short, and
already the shops are showing long
dress gloves of white silk. These are
deliberately tucked to elbow length and
some are stitched in black silk. Other
long gloves have insets of fine lace
medallions, which match up with
fancy lace inset hosiery, and we are
left to wonder If gloves and stockings
will not presently be sold together
matching in color and decoration.

Great leeMaX.

Great leeway is permissible in The
development of suit coats. Some are
so short as to be mere jackets; 9TH
ers are finger-tip length. while extreme
models reach to the knees. The fin
ger-tip length is probably the general
favorite, and inasmuch as it is the
most becoming length, it may be said
to be the accepted one.
Various silks, serge, gabardine, silk
and wool jersey cloth, and many at
tractive mixtures are shown in the ar
ray of suit fabrics, and too great en-
phasis can hardly be laid on the vogue
for high colorS.

Few persons realize that velvet was
developed and originated in China.
Thence velvet making was introduced
into India and, in the fourteenth CEN
fury, into Italy, where that sort of
fabric especially appealed and where
the art Of velvet making reached it's
height. 1t is said that velvet was first
inspired by fur and that it was in or
der to make a silken fabric on the
same order as fine fur that man first
set his wits about to invent this.
