Art in Fashion
Is the Demand

Two women were discussing the
subject OF clothes. Said one:
do YOU dress to please yourself
or to please others3''
"Why, to please Others of course
was the reply.
The qiestioner smiled.
Would. you mind taking off that
shirtwalst?n she said. 81 have always
despised It,"
The silence which ensued was quite
thick enough to feel.
Perhaps. writes prominent fashion
correspondent, this little story illus.
trates the futllity of even attempting
to please. Most of us, am sure, dress
the best we can with the means at
hand-those means in the bank ana
those the manufacturers create. Now
and then one comes across those radi-
ant persons who not only dress to
please themselves but succeed Ia
pleasing every one else as well.

know of no other word with which
to describe the fashions of the hour
than picturesque. To be picturesque
seems to be the aim of all who make
and those who wear feminine apparel
Certainly there Is a quaintness and
a charm about present moment modes
which warrants the term. For in

SAND AND TAN TONES

AS companion to the brown shades
destined for early fall and winter
wear sand and tan tones are often
seen. There are, by the way, several
new shades-faison brown, which has
a reddish cast; tisOn, which Is rust
red; peace blue and jade; Corlnthe
and Adriatlc, also blues. The comblna-
ton of brown and green is striking
and unusual enough to please the
most ardent searcher after novel eff
feet. 1t is deftly done by placing
strips of a Jade green along brown
background and yelling the green
strips with thin fabric of brown or
heavy open mesh braid, through
which the green is flecked.
White and marigold yellow also
present new color combination Of
which the possibilities are llmitless.

AMERICANS
MAKING GOOD
AT Y-FIVE

Don't worry about old age. A sound
man is good at any age. Keep your
body In good condition and you can be
as hale and hearty and able to do your
bit" as when you were young fellow.
Affections Of the kidneys and bladder
are among the leading causes of early
or helpless age. Keep them clean and
the other organs in working condition,
and you will have nothing to fear.
Drive the poisonous wastes from the
system and avoid uric acid accumula-
tons. Take GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules periodically and you will
find that you are as good, as the next
fellow. Your spirits will be rejuvc-
mated, your muscles strong and your
mind keen enough for any task.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules

HARLEM Oil Capsules. They are re-
liable and should help you, or your

A SUMMER COLD

A cold In the summer time, as every
body knows, is the hardest kind Of q
cold to get rid of. The best and quick
est way is to go to bed and stay there
IL you can, with bottle Of "Boschee's
Syrup handy to insure good nights
rest, free from coughing with easy ex-
pectoration In the morning.
But II you can't stay in bed you must
keep out of draughts, avoid sudden
changes, eat sparingly of simple food
and take occasional doses Of Boschee's
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, safe and eff
cient remedy, made in America for more
than fifty years. Keep 1t handy.-Adv.
