KEEP LOOKING YOUNG

The secret Of keeping young Is to feel
young = to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having a sallow complexion dark rings
under your eyes = pimples - bilious
look In your face = dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards. a well-known physician
In Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil TO act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.

When We Dress Our Best.

At what age are women best
dressed. At what age does a woman
show the high-water mark in good
taste in dressing?
A clothes authority of renown re-
Gently answered that question quite
emphaticaIly: After thirty-fve." His
answer applied to the class of women
he knew best-the well-to-do New
York woman. Obviously the same
would not be true of women in all
sections Of the country or among
women Of all classes. Among the
ma jority of women the only time
give much thought to dress is during
early youth. Domestic life. with its
myriad coninements and duties,
leaves little time for thought OF ones
wardrobe. nor, according to a very
large class of women, is there much
of any incentive to great attention
to dress after marriage and mother
hood. When one has suitors one,
of course, must think Of clothes-but
for a husband or ones children 1t is
enough to be neat and at least not
dowdy. That at least. is the theory
of a good many women.
But among the women to whom is
given credit for leadership in dress in
this country there can be little doubt
that the age of greatest taste and in :
terest in dn,ss comes after what IS
usually th,l first decade of married
lifsmat age even when wou uhs'F have nWe
fhoneht only quiet co1ors and de-
murely cut frocks were really ap-
THE The old idea used to be that bright
colors if worn at all were peculiarly
within the domain of girlhood ana
first youth. Now the clever dress-
makers reserve their most brilliant
hues for women past thirty, and when
the dressmaker of today says that
color is a little too youthful she does
not mean that it is too brilliant, put
rather that it is not brilliant enough;
and a frock that is too girlish IS not
extreme, but the frock that is not
daring or extreme enough.
In all phenomena in dress he who
will may read some indication OF So
cial tendencies. and this tendency, no
ticeable in almost all our large Amer
lean cities. is clear renectlon OF tne
fact that our social life is becoming
far more complex. more continental.
more sophisticated. if you will. For
wherever the charm of womanhood is
appreciated only in the extremely
youthful period. there social life Is
simple. if not a trifle crude. Wnere
the older woman comes into her own
whether that older woman be a
Cleopatra-for the Cleopatra of Mark
Anthony was far more powerful IN
her charm that the girlish Cleopatra
Of Caesar-Diane of Poitiers. an En-
press Josephine or an Empress Euge--
nie-there you may be sure the social
intercourse of men and women has
reached a far moro interesting stage
of development, and there it is among
the women past thirty-fve that one
finds the best dressing.
