Novel Notes.

One Of the quick ways which have
leaped into fashion for women to con-
serve wool for the army is the use of a
short, slim, separate skirt with cut
away coat of velveteen. heavily lined.
Women who have such costumes de.
clare that they will wear these skirts
with corslet blouses Of soutached silk
and satin in the spring, thereby saving
cotton for the government.
Hats made of worsted have already
been replaced by those of satin and
velvet. Entire coat suits made of
worsted have narrow bias founces
mounted on taffeta or satin founda.
ton. The short jacket which goes
with these skirts is so heavily trimmed
with fur and has such wide waistcoat
or satin or matelasse that it can be
considered bit of camouaage.

NEW COATS WITHOUT SLEEVES
Corded Silk and Wool PopIins Among
the Materials France Offers to
America for These Garments.

France likes the sleeveless idea in
garments so much that she has built
new coats that drop over the Shout
ders but have no sleeves. This is a
medieval idea tina: did not seem to
interfere with the comfort of the men
and women of the twelfth century,
when the weather was cold and the
houses 100 per cent colder.
Among the materials that France
offers to America in theobuilding of
these sleeveless coats is a corded silk
and wool poplin. 1t used to be worn
by us. 1t was made into frocks and
wraps and turned out in those dol
mans that We're trimmed with bugles
and paillettes and edged with fur
This season the dolman has been
replaced by the loose, shapeless,
sleeveless coat This came over from
France, where it was worn ON one of
the smart stages by an actress who
knows how to dress.
All the American shops are looking
to the French theater today for in
spiration, and the theaters themselves
have burst into new bloom of life
and beauty through the presence of so
many thousands of American soldiers
on leave with money in their pockets.

HOW HIGH ARE YOUR SHOES?
Fall Footwear Likely to Be Not More
Than Eight and One-Half
Inches in Height

For year we have been hearing a
lot about the necessity for cutting
down the height of women's shoes. 1t
has been predicted a dozen times, Il
fashion writer states, that there is to
be strict restriction in high shoes for
women, and every time certain shoe
stores have offered any specially priced
shoes they have told us that the reason
they did so was because oc new restric-
tons as to the height of shoes. They
had to get rid of their old stock, they
told us, because they were no longer
allowed to handle shoes of that height.
Well. perhaps that was the case; but
we still see women going about with
shoes of extreme height, and only oc-
casionally have we seen, so far, shoes
of moderate height.
Now the restriction is pretty near to
becoming q fact. Probably we shall
not have any fall shoes more than Sb
inches IN height. The shoe man tells
US that this is TO be measured "from
the rand at the breast of the side of
the heel to the center of the tops at
the side"-all of which may be very
helpful If you happen to know the
lingo of shoe dealers.

COVERT COATS HAVING VOGUE
Cloth Is Favorite This Spring for
Chappies, Formerly Known to the
Wearers as the Box Coat.

Covert cloth is having great vogue
this spring and top coats In all lengths
and on various lines are made up of
this new old material There are
smart little coats on the lines of what
were known once as "box coats" but
now are termed "chappie coats" They
are about finger tip length, are un-
belted and flare slightly at the lower
part.
Many Of the long models of this ma
terial are made in cape effect. 9th
ers are fashioned on long, straight
lines. belted and pocket trimmed,
much on the lines Of the coats worn
by Uncle Sans soldiers. There is a
high rundown collar and deep cuffs.
Four patch pockets with buttoned
flaps trim the coat front. two small
pockets on the bodice and two larger
pockets on the coat skirt. A wide ma
terial belt Is fashioned at the front
with large round dull metal buckle.

new EVENING GOWN.
First Season In Three That Dis
tinct Change Is Made.
Black Will Have Widest Popularity,
laces With Dots Embroidered,
Choice Above Everything.

The tale of the spring evening
gown should be an absorbing one, for,
behold, it is the first season In three
that evening gowns have undergone
distinct change in style, mode and
vogue, and a spring season ushers in
new evening gowns for the elect and
even ideas for the evening for those
who sit by the fire, always presuming
that it Is fire that necessitates eve
ming clothes to sit by it.
Narrow skirts are sufficiently diff
ficult to dance in, but long narrow
skirts are impossible. And, mas
much as we will dance, notes fash
ion authority, war or no war, for the
evening we abolish the narrow skirt
in favor of the wide or draped gar
ment so that we may dance in ease
and comfort.
Some time ago sounded the slogan
of the sleeve in evening frocks.
Every indication for the future con-
firms all that / thought at that time
and even accentuates the fashion.
Evening gowns without sleeves are
not.
Every design for the spring will
have the sleeves, some wide and flow
ing. others long and narrow and few
even elbow length, but the sleeves will
be there beyond the shadow of a
doubt.
The war viii not necessarily affect
the cut of the Y1.ont or the bach Of the
evening frock. Many of the spring
offerings will carry the high square
neckline and the V-shaped back, but
just as many will show the gowns
cut extremely low both front and
back and depend upon the effect of
the sleeves to relieve the formal as
pect Of the creation.
In material black will have the
widest popularity. 1t has had it's
innings time and again and despite
that this spring will find it in great
demand. OF the black laces the sheer
designs will have the preference over
the heavy tracings, while the laces
sion will be the choice above every
thing.
Brocaded chiffons that were used
last season will be given another trial
combined with laces and charrneuse,
and dresses of shaded nets will also
be popular. All-chiffon frocks will
not be given much of an opportunity
early in the season, but will be held
over until spring begins to wane into
warmer summer months.

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION

For many years druggists have watched

Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-

should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
1t should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has SO many friends
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Red-blooded men of courage are on
the firing line-and there are many
anemic, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes "pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin. anemic peo-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverish condition In the
springtime of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers of a good al
terative and blood purifier. Such a one
Is extracted from Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root and
Oregon Grape root, made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use of alcohol. This can be OBJ
tained in ready-to-use tablet form in
sixty-cent walls, as druggists have sold
1t for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. II is a
standard remedy that can be obtained
In tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken once
a week even by persons who have a
movement daily, In order TO eliminate
matter which may remain and cause a
condition of auto-lntoxication, poison
ing the whole system. To clean the
system at least once a week is to prac-
tice health measures. There Is nothing
so good for this purpose as tiny pills
made up of the May-apple, leaves of
aloe and jalap, and sold by almost
all druggists In this country as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. sugar-coated,
easy to take.
