An evening wrap, to be worn with
a variety of evening dresses, may be in
color, but cannot exceed, and rarely
equals, a wrap of black satin for ele-
gance and good style. Therefore the
evening wrap of black satin is a per-
ennial that comes to bloom with each
new season; an institution in the ward
robe.
There are some new weaves in silk,
very soft and rich, that have lus-
ter as high as that of satin, and they
are competing with it for favor in
evening wraps. There is not much
choice between them, as they are very
much alike in appearance. The new
fabrics have the advantage Of novelty,
while satin has a wonderful record
behind it, but whatever the fabric, the
styles in wraps made from them are
the same.
This seasons evening wraps are

long and ample, capelike affairs that
narrow at the ankles and are as wide
as the body. To fulfill their destiny
they must be sumptuous looking and
graceful. Many of the new models
have voluminous collars and some Of
them have short sleeves.
A beautiful example of the black
satin wrap appears In the illustra-
ton. 1t is a loose, short cape with a
shawl collar, to which the body of
the wrap is Joined by an embroidered
band. The band is narrow with fig
ures in brilliant colors that remind
one of jewels. The same colors are
used in the large embroidered disks
that 0dorn the wrap at each side of
the front. Even very youthful bride
will be regal looking in a wrap Of this
kind. especially If she wears crest
of plumes in her hair like Guinevere
OF old.

Then came Quiz, a cocker spaniel, and

When they all stood together they

as though one could walk from Susy
right up to Brutus.

IN The CHEST
Thedford's Black DTaught, Says
Kentucky Lady, Is Excellent
For Breaking Up a
Cold.

Hlgin, Ky.-Mrs. Albert Albright, who
mas lived here many years, says: Il
use Black Draught as a laxative. It is
splendid for breaking up colds. I have
used it for bad cold and tightness in
the chest. One cup of good warm tea
made from Black-Draught found most
helpful. It makes the liver act and
gives almost instant relief.
This spring my little daughter began
having chills, the hard, shaking kind.
After the chills her fever would rise
and her head would ache. We are a
good ways from the doctor, so just
began giving her good doses of Black
Draught and it cured her. She is in
good health, has good color, and her
appetite is all right. So of course we
consider Black-Draught as unsurpassed
for family medicine"
Don't wait until you have headache
sick stomach, indigestion, or other dis
agreeable symptoms, but take an occa-
slonal dose Of Black-Draught to help
keep your system free from poison,
your body in good health.
Made from purely vegetable ingredi'
ents. Black-Draught acts in a gentle
natural way, and has no bad after
effects. It may be safely taken by
young and old.

said, as he looked at Patty out Of
his sad eyes, for Brutus was very
kind even though he was such great
big dog and so strong.
"Then Brutus had a fine idea. He
ran for Jack, for he had seen Jack
go 10 nearby field to play baseball.
"He ran just as hard as he could
and when he reached the field he didn't
even notice the baseball which had
Just been hit with the bat.
"The boys were awfully frightened
for moment as they thought Brutus
might get hit by accident with the
hard ball, and they called out to him,
but Brutus wasn't thinking of being
afraid of anything.
"But luckily the ball didn't hit
Brutus, and Brutus went right on up
to his master, barking. and showing
by his eyes that he wanted to have
Jack follow him.
81 guess Brutus wants me for some
thing, said Jack, for he wouldn't
come to the baseball field If 1t weren't
! for something important
$50 Jack ran quickly home, follow
ing Brutus. There he found Patty
with the bug on her tongue and feel
ing most uncomfortable.
Jack quickly took the bug off and
then Patty no longer looked sick and
miserable.
"She jumped up on Jack and wagged
her tail and her eyes looked very glad
and happy as she tried to thank her
master. And then she did quite the
sweetest thing ever a dog did. She
suddenly seemed to know that ,Brutus
was the one who had done every
thing.
Jack had come quickly when Brutus
had called him, for Jack was always
so good to his pets and Jack had been
able to take the bug off her tongue
because he had nice useful hands.
'tBut Patty knew that it was Brutus
who had gone for Jack. and Brutus
who had brought him back so quickly.
"And Patty went over to Brutus,
looking so small beside the great big
Newfoundland dog and she licked
Brutus' paws and sat down before
him and rolled over on the grass,
saying to Brutus that she was a very
! grateful, happy, little dog.
"Brutus licked her, too, to show he
was glad he had been able to help
her. and all the other dogs played
around so joyfully.
"And then. for special treat, every
one of them had a bone, and Jack
gave himself a piece of cakeE" ended
Daddy.

If the new fashion of sending chal-
lenges to be fought out in the air be-
comes general, duels, like other lux
uries, will become very costly.
In pre-war days Parisians used to
reckon that "a would cover the ex-
penses incidental to duel, though, to
do things in style, considerably more
had to be spent.
Aurelien Scholl, the boulevardier
journalist, relates that man whom he
