to handle here, and SO a binding is
suggested instead. Quarter-inch bias
pieces long enough to go easily about
the circumference of the armhOle are
stitched close to the edge on the right
side by machine, then turned over and
under and slip-stitched by hand on
the wrong side. This makes an at
tractive finish and one not in the
least difficult to do.
The girl with an eye to smart trim
ming features will take advantage of
the opportunities offered by such fin
iShing to make it decorative and so
distinguish her sport blouse from all
others. The white linen blouse might
be treated to a binding of rose satin,
for instance. Vice versa, the white
satin would be decidedly fetching
bound in a colorful bit of cretonnc.
Also, if you want to go to the extra
trouble, you might cord or pipe your
binding just by way of emphasizing
it; it makes an awfully smart finish.
There is another practical way Of
treating the armhole of a sleeveless
jacket and that is a binding of braid,
the silky kind that gives as bias
band might. On cotton and linen ma
terial soft cotton braid can be used
in the same manner.

SASH IS ONE REQUIREMENT
No Frock Is Modish Without the Pop
uar ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS More
Exclusive Than Ribbon.

No gingha1. or calico frock may
count itself truly modish sans a sash
of its own material. Much, much more
exclusive is a Bingham sash than one
of ribbon! The sash is made of two
strips of the fabric, scanned up around
the edges, and usually the ends are
cut in points or Ovals. Such a sash
falls just below the hip, one end over
the other, small butterfly bow being
tied at the back of the waistline.
Sometimes the sash is part of the sur
plice fronts of the bodice; sometimes
it is quite separate from the frock.
Next in favor to the modest ging
ham is printed cotton or percale, and
it makes a charming gown, especially
when the material is spotted or
striped.
One of the virtues of plaid gingham
is the delightful way in which it COM
bines with plain materials. For sport
wear a frock of Bingham may be made
very chic by the plain one-tone trim
mings, or the jacket or Russian blouse
may be of the plain materials, while
the skirt and blouse trimmings may be
of the plaid.

Separate sleeves are a wartime in
Vention. This frock of dark-bIue and
white figured foulard has a loose pep
ium blouse held in with gilt hat cord.
The skeleton blouse beneath has loose,
flowing sleeves and a rolling collar
of heavy white chiffon.
They are attached to blouse of mus
lin or net, which serves as a corset
cover and carries a collar that is
pulled out over the frOck.
1t does not take much Imagination
to visualize the constant changes that
can be played upon when separate
sleeves and collars are permitted in
one frock. True, they need constant
washing, but many of them do not
need starch, and all of them can be
easily irOned at home.
1t is prophesied, advises fashion
writer, that this form of dressing will
grow more in evidence as the winter
weather comes on, for the medievals
saw in this method of clothing them
selves a way to keep warm and to en-
liven their appearance. So be warned
in time, and do not throw away a gown
because it's armholes and sleeves are
worn out. 1t can be made into
medieval tunic or short apron, which
can be worn over separate sleeves and
collar attached to a skeleton blouse.

USE SUBSTITUTE FOR LINEN
ticai and Popular-Good for
Sheets and Pillow Cases.

The war has affected number of
things, and among others the supply,
price and quality of linen. In fact,
linen dealers declare that virtually
no pure linen will be available next
year and advise thrifty housewives to
lay in as large a reserve supply as
possible. This some of them are all
ready finding it almost impossible to
do, owing to the well-nigh prohibitive
price to which household linens of all
sorts have already risen. The thing
to do then is to discover and use a
substitute.
The substitute which has proved
the most practical and popular is per-
Gale. Now percale is not particularly
cheap, but, on the other hand, it is eX-
tremely Serviceable, and, as the saying
is, there is no wear-out to it." 1t
cannot be utilized as table linen, of
course, but it makes excellent sheets
and pillow and bolster cases. In fact,
for these purposes, it has the advan-
tage over linen, which muses. abom-
inably after one using, while the
dressing" in percale keeps it fresh
and unrumpled much longer.

SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.

what you need.

1t was bitter hot day in Octember.
James y. Oylekan was worried. He

saw at once this was the wrong course.
He began to add the remainder and
subtract it from the quotient. That

He doubled up his fist and laid 1t
down where it would be handy if he
needed it. Suddenly he looked for his
fist and saw it was gone. and in its
place was nothing but hand. He put
the hand in his pocket, and in doing so
found that the hole he had carefully
placed in his pocket in the morning
was still there. But he found some
thing else that gave him a start. His
face went pale. plague take It'll" he

An American lying wounded in a
wheat field was somewhat taken aback
by the spectacle, in slow and stately
approach, of a German officer. He

Every once in a while his impress

of the head and the suspicion of a

NEW SLEEvETRICK
Plan Admits of Extra Pairs of
Arm Coverings.

There has been designed a simple
and popular midseason gown made
with loose peplum shirtwaist that
has short sleeves and a rounded low
neck. 1t is not only worn by young
girls, but older women find it avail
able for many of their daytime activi-
ties. 1t is made in black and other
plain somber colors, and also in
figured foulard and printed chiffon. 1t
allows an extra pair of sleeves, and
this trick is another revival of an an
cient and honorable day when women
were not extravagant and depended
upon accessories to constantly enl.ven
one well-chosen, dark-hued frock.
The separate sleeves are made of
muslin, pongee or even coarse lace.
