attractive color than pale gray or bis.
cut We rarely endorse faintly~flow-
cred pastel tiuts. II is said by those
who study dress that we are not as
hopeless in Wir combination OF bright
Britain, and one must admit that we
are more inclined 10 conhiie drab
tones IN an ugly way than almost any
'othgr nation in the world. One almost
feels that il would be better 20 see a
woman in rural community put on a
yellow bodice and a red skirt than a
light gray shirt waist and faded black
skirt
The peasants Of other countries know
far more about the brilliancy Of clothes
and color combinations than do the
workaday people who spread them
selves over this continent between the
cities This dictum does not apply to
the Young, however; II rests upon the
heads of those who are at or over mid
die age.
Knowing this tendency on part
Of many Americans. those who see
clothes in mas, as from an aero
plane, are not sure that beige is the
best color to exploit in this country
One has to say that il must be worn
with blue or black and that it must be
combined in an exceptionally artistic
manner or the effect is bad
Beige is exceedingly smart; of that
there IS no doubt but il takes A French
woman or a certain type of we'll
groemed American to carry off a whole
costume OF beige.
Used to Enliven Dark Blue.
There are certain complications that
must be seriously taken into account
tefore a woman dashes big collar and
cuffs of biscuit or beige on a dark blue
gown.
I, sketch shows a model which is
admirable 70 copy and which is worn
with distinction; but the woman who
makes II her own Snust be quite sure
that the flaring collar of biscuit placed
next to the skin OF the neck and
shoulders does not cast pallor over
the face that nothing but a rouge pot
can offset
This gown Is of dark blue charmeuse
and is one OF the now summer models.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BItro. .Phosphate 10
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase Strength, viuor
and Nerve Force

Judging from tho countless prepara- =
lions and treatments which are con.
tlnually being advertised for the pur-
pose OF making thin people fleshy, de-
veloping nyms, neck and bust and re-
pnclrg ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty.
there are evidently thousands OF men
and women who keenly feel their exces-
sive thinness
Thlnness and weakness are usually
due TO starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than ls contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there
80 well as the organic phosphate known
among druggists as bitro- phosphats
which Is inexpensive and is sold by
Westfall and most all druggists under a
guarantee OF satisfaction or money back.
BY feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with tho neces.
sary phosphorlc food elements, bltro-
phosphate quickly produces welcome
transformation In the appearance; the
Increase In weight frequently being as
tonlshing.
This Increase In weight also carrie,
with II general Improvement In the
health. Nervouness. sleeplessn&s and
lack OF energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinncss soon
disappear, dun eyes become hright,I and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom OF per-
feet health
CAUTION: - Although bItro. phos.

nervousness. sleeplessness and general

There is BIT Of patent leather flecked
with red at the waistlne, and there are

Women who wish Standardization Of
clothes which means a uniform, are
delighted at the tendency Of the smart
women TO adopt deep beige or khaki
colorcd gowns for the street They are
usually unbeooming; no one but a
woman who has brilliant color, in or
out of tht rouge pot, can stand this
devastating color next to her skin. II
blights whatever beauty nature or art
may have given het
However, the fact that there are so
many uniforms for various relief work
organizations, has brought the color
into prominence and even those who
do not indulge in uniform or haven't
the privilege OF wearing one, seem to
have a desire to dress themselves much
like soldiers. Ingenuity Of the highest
order will be required to keep us from
looking like dead leaves covered with

BE PRETTY!
TURN GRAY
HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell if
you use Grapdmother's simple
recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays. by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients. at a small cost.
Don't stay gray, Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
thru your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
BEAUTIFULLY dark. glossy and attractive.

youthful appearance. 1t is not in
