New York.-The world goes on re-
Nving old things and calling them new.
This Is not only true of the stupendous
spectacle of war In its most barbaric
form, asserts prominent fashion crit
ic, but Ii is true of The minor accidents
and happenings that flutter through
"this imbroglio called life"
Observe fashions. The designers dip
their hands deep into the boiling pot
of ancient lands, history and peoples,
and pull out of it demure or fantastic
things, which they dress up a bit and
give over to most modern people, who
accept them as new.
At present the designers are dipping
more deeply than ever. They seem to
be frantically pulling out odds and
ends of flotsam and jetsam that must
serve to whet the appetites Of those
who have money.
Garden Hats and Tea Gowns.
1t seemed fitting thing today to
revive the simplicity of Civil war cos
tumery, and therefore we see APP
preaching us an era Of printed mus
Inns, garden hats, pastel colors and
Colonial fichus.
Along with these fashions comes
that intimate and usually alluring gar
ment called the tea gown. 1t Is as
TEN as five o'clock tea, cricket and par
lament. The French have always
placed their reliance upon the garment
which they call the robe d'interieur."
But the American had nothing to place
beside these two.
When this remark was once made
to French designer she lifted her
eyebrows in surprise and asked, "But
Is there not the Mother Hubbard?'
There was, she was assured, hut 1t
was not the kind of garment Of which
she would approve. n
But here in America today we are
rapidly learning the artistic value and
comfort of the British tea gowns.
which someone once described as the
only really soft thing In the British
nation. That statement was made,
however, before the English woman
had learned to copy the arts and the
graces of face ard figure from The
French, and when she still wore her
stiff, unyielding, ugly clothes; her big
boots; straight, mannish Scotch
tweeds, and raglan coats.
The English tea gown has spread
over the civilized world, alongside Of
the English five o'clock tea, which even
the American soldiers behind the
French battle front have learned to
desire.
The British wear two sets Of cos
tumery at that hour in the afternoon,
and both of these are introduced this
summer; the lowered muslin with the

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotteng The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, SO many people claim, it fulfls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism. ~

Americas Contribution.
We are becoming quite self-assured
in designing clothes these days, and
have made such rapid progress that
we do not rest entirely upon what
others give us.
When the dressmakers found that
women who spent different amounts
of money and moved In different kinds
Of social life were asking for tea
gowns, there Immediately jumped up
kind of rivalry among the workers
to see who could get out something
startling and good.
The especial contribution in which
this rivalry has resulted Is the rain
bow tea gowns. We have already
found out that we are in for ''rain-
bow" season. Whoever named the
first fighting division that went to
France had a happy inspiratlon-it
gave the word to hundred activities
In this country. The name fllckers
from the stage, on posters, gowns and
hats, and now 1t seems to have found
an admirable setting in the new tea
gown.
Elaborate Japanese Style.
France has sent to us a striking tea
gown that is being copied. 1t is made
as an elaborate Japanese kimono. The
material Is extra-broad black and
white striped satin. There is a flicker
of white lace and bit Of white satin,
and the robe is complete.
All of the house robes that are to be
substituted for dinner gowns this
spring and summer do not owe their
inspiration to the exotic East. There
are other epochs and other fashions
from which the designers draw.
The early nineteenth century has
been found prolific in ideas. The tea
gowns which are taken from that time
are sometimes more suitable for the
average woman than the more compli-
Gated draperies.
These are made of Powered chiffon,
printed wolfe and silk net, and they are
run beneath the bust, after the manner
that obtained in the Directoire, with
broad ribbons of old blue, pale pink
and Chinese yellow. They are half
low and round In the neck, and have
short pulled sleeves.
