WINTER SUITS.

Many of the handsomest winter suits are of velvet and velveteen, bor- dered with wide bands of astrachan around the hem of the coat and skirt, and finished with collar of the same fur. These suits are usually ex- tremely simple in line. with the skirt made long and narrow.
 The panel effect is still much worn on dresses of various materials and is usually finished with wide silk or chenille fringe. Aecordeon -pleated skirts are attractive, when made of georgette crepe, satin or any of the more durable materials.
 The combination of georgette crepe and serge is particularly satisfactory, since 1t produces a frock which, If dark in blue, may be worn to busi- ness, without seeming conspicuous, and yet be suitable for almost any informal evening occasion. Besides, being practical from this point of view, 1t is a dress which may be worn late in the spring without 8 wrap, because of its light weight. Velyeteen dresses, while much in vogue this season and extremely pretty when worn during the winter months, are apt to look too warm for comfort at the first mild days. Such dresses are not really practical for the woman who has few changes.
 The wide, fiaring sleeve and the round neck continue to finish many of the close fitting frocks. Many of these have innumerable pin tucks around the skirt, to enhance the snug appearance.

By GRACE THORNCLTFFE

a VERY slender girl came in the A other day and wanted gown which could be worn fer after loon tea, for restaurant dinners. at the theatre or holiday affairs.
 This may seem large order" all In one gown, but we have turned out some lovely dresses of this comprehensive :ype. This girl was almost painfully thin, and seemed to need filling out everywhere.
 Of course gray s the color above all others thats lends an appearance of weight, but this girl was too aeiarIess for gray. She needed something a little stronger in color than gray, and yet a shade not striking enough to accent her deliGaoS,
 The slender, delicate type of woman or girl seems to pick up an appearance Of vitality when clad in Alice blue. This color softens the angular lines, and is becoming to both blondes and brunettes. Ge6rgette crepe, which stands so much fulness and still falls so softly, is the ideal fabric for gown adapted to this type
 Mrne, Francis didn't want the dress to be all blue, so she chose 6 lovely piece Of deep cream Point Venice to make an attractive ''tumper" overblouse for this blue crepe.
 The neck and sides of this jumper are bound with little bias fold of blue cnarmeuse satin.

Day in and day out, month after month, she toils Often she is the breadwinner of the family and must work that others may live. Rain or shine, warm or cold, she must be at her place of employment on time. A great majority of such girls are on their feet from morning until night, and symptoms of female troubles are early manifested by weak and aching back, dragging-down pains, head aches and nervousness. Such girls are asked to try that most successful of all remedies for woman's ills, Lydia E.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after q. few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
