leather and the skirt portion OF tWeeu
or other heavy wool goods.
Leaving leather out of the reckoning
there are comfortable coats of tweed,
covert cloth and heavy Jersey, and
these, like the leather and part leather
coats, have certain fine quality OF style
that comes in garments that insure
adaptability to the sort of demands
made upon them. Among the jersey
coats are more unusual mixtures In
which two colors are woven together
in the fabric with something of a
changeable effect. For all ordinary mo-
toring these cloth coats are most de-
pendable. Besides there are the new
came's hair coats, beautifully soft,
shown in fascinating tan shades, and
especially stylish. And last comes the
coat of pongee, which has vitality
that insures it long future and his
tory that proves it always elegant.
To wear with these there are fetch
ing motor hats of millinery patent
leather and silk or of other millinery
leather and of rubberized cloth that
looks like heavy crepe georgette.
Nearly all these hats are short in the
back and have visors in the front.
They are shown in tan and brown,
dark blue, black and green and in all
black. Wells appear to be conspicuous
by their. absence.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney anG
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache. loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.

"a Wife's REVENGE"

The wife was having small bridge
party at the house for a company OF
women and one Of the guests failed
to appear, leaving vacant place at
one Of the tables, so she called UP her
husband at the Office and asked
whether he would not come home early
and "fll out"
"But why can't you play with a
dummy?'' he asked, evidently having
no relish for the game.
"Why, the girls have invited you,"
was the wifely response.
