THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUSE
For the Invaid's Comfort.

Were you eyer at your wits end to
know what to take or send as a little
gift to break the monotony for some
friend who had for the time to under
go the boredom of lying ill in bed?
The easiest and in some cases the most
appropriate choice is always flowers
But in some hospitals there is a
prejudice against flowers in the sick
room, and when one has already
enough flowers to make ones room
| x like a florists show window there
can be no great comfort in any more
posie-. 1t is then that the sick per-
son is grateful for a little gift that has
some originality in its selection.
Why not make your gift a radium
watch? For the convalescent there is
enormous comfort in wearing a watch
of this sort on the wrist at night. This
makes the eXertion of finding out
what time it is very slight, and it. is
the way of persons i'll in bed to wish
to watch the hours as they pass. And
it is infinitely more satisfactory to
learn the time of night by a simple
glance at one wrist in the dark than
to lie awake listening to the next
stroke of the bells on some distant
church clock.
For the person able to write with a
fountain pen such as those sold for
the boys in the trenches when the boys
still were in the trenches, is a good
suggestion. There is a little package
of ink tablets to go with it. For the
person ill in a hospital room this is a
great convenience, as fountain pen
ink is q commodity not always easy to
secure in the hospital, and it is an
easy matter to-add water to the
tablets.
a small soft pillow is a welcome
gift to the person who must lie for
many days in bed. 1t is a comfort
that is not found in most hospital or
sick room equipment. If you make
this selection be sure that you have
your cushion covered with a simple
white linen or muslin cover that can
be easily Numbered. A fancy cover
would make it unsuitable for any sick
room. There are times when a cush-
ion of this sort is just what is needed
to take away the strain from a weary
back or cramped neck.

New York.-Whenever one talks
with a dreSsmaker of high standing
the conversation turns to the exraor-
binary difference between peace and
wartime materials.
Today women ask for something
brilliant, something gorgeous. At one
Fifth avenue house where a select
clientele is catered to in a way that
provides the patrons with gowns that
are in the foremost of the fashions,
but free of all eccentricities, the
statement was made that since No
We der IL every woman on the
books of that house has Asked for a
ripping evening gown.
Even wpmen of sixty, said the head
of the house, insist that they will not
have black and gray materials; they
want gorgeous brocades. purple and
silver. black and yellow, even Bur-
gundy with rich lace.
The experience of this house, which
is proud of the fact that it has no
popular following and that its selected
trade represents it wherever attractive
women are we'll gowned, is repeated
in larger houses that spread their in
fluence out over masses of people.
Let Us Wear Gay Fabric.
Brilliant materials are what people
want. That's the consensus of opin-
ion. Certain of the prophets say that
this eXhilarati0n will not last: that
the early summer will see return to
conservation and occurrences; but
there is no reason for this statement

fabric made for any kind of evening
wear short of a ball or the opera The
bodice is narrow, simple and wrapped
at the waist in that shapeless way that
is quite shapely. The short sleeves
have drippings of black lace at the
back to soften their rather harsh out
line. The tunic is made with long
loops of materials after a fashion that
the house of Cheruit introduced last
August=sas new method of drapery.
The underneath skirt is as narrow as
those worn in Alexandria when
Aphrodite. was worshipped. 1t is of
knife pleated black tulle, and it shows
the filmiest kind of silver net petit
coat when the wearer dances.
There were those who thought that
the tunic would go out of fashion be-
cause it had given long and faithful
service, but the gowns that are going
south give no evidence of the tunic's
withdrawal 1t is fashioned in dozen
varying shades, but there is a likeH-
hood that the usage of many breadths
of broad ribbon which drop from the
waist and are tucked under at the
knee, will become a leading fashiep.
1t, like SO much else today, is striK-
ingly Oriental.

 The pleasure that successful purchase of real estate gives is perhaps the greatest of all pleasures obtained through business deals, and the sorrow that the purchase of the wrong property causes is surely the greatest sorrow a business transaction can cause.
 The capacity for selecting property of any kind, either large or small. that will grow in value, is the thing that makes success in the owner ship of real properties.
 In my more than a quarter century selecting and dealing for other people in real estate investments I have led many people to independence, wealth and happiness by selecting for them properties which adv property of any kind to sell or if you wish to buy, it might lead to fortune and pleasure to talk it over with the natural born trader. the homeseekers friend and the investors faith ful guide.

4 FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: II am user
of Thedford's Black-D raught; in fact,
BIT was one Of our family medicines
Also In my mothers home, when /
was a child. When any of rs child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
q dose OF Black raught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills. or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t.
for 1t certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose Of Black
Draught when not SO we'll saves q
lot of days In bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years In the treat
ment OF stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof of its merit.
II your liver Is not doing It's duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
AcSo, COuStipdIlOH, iAul6SSIiouy ctC's
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-D raught has been
found q valuable remedy for these
troubles. It Is purely vegetable, and
acts In prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed-
ford's the original and genuine. "a 70
