In our days it was different; young

covered their faces with powder, then
put cold cream on and wiped 1t off
with a flannel. That was the way to
have a good complexion.
One learns also from contemporary

DELICATE HINT FOR AUNTIES
Little Marian's CIeverIy Conveyed
Reproof to Her Altogether Too
Fastidious Relative.

The two spinster aunties really did
have a very beautiful house, but they
were too particular about it to suit
their small niece and nephew, who had
become tired of being told to "be care
full" in this room, and don't touch any
thing" in that one.
And Marian decided very tactfully to
let them know about it, too. So one
day when she and her brother Billy
were in the presence of their aunties
she began a conversation on the sub
ject of their future careers. After John
had named his as that of q lawyer,
Marian announced that she was going
to be school teacher like her aunties.
And Billy, since Pm going to be an
old maid, don't 'spect you'd better get

when they came to my house to be

The colored frills and scalIops which

looked just as well with trousers as
with skirts-a thing which could not
be said of all waists or blouseS. OF
course trousers were a part of the
gardening days, and while they have
retired at least from general service
as far as woman's need for them
goes, the smock remains, glorifed be-
yond it's most humble followers rec
ognition.
OF great beauty are those over
blouses of midnight blue voile closely
pailleted all over with round silver
disks and held in place with thick
cord of silver threads. This is to be
worn with a skirt of silk or sport
satin or gabardine and makes a
pleasing costume. The printed chif-
fons have been extensively used for
the type of blouse. One seldom sees
them without a belt of some sort,
generally heavy silkep cord which
encircleS the waist and loops in front
with heavy tassels or fringe.
If the smock is worn under the coat
rarely is it seen now worn in this way
without ones coat or sweater. The
smock of the unbelted variety has a
decidedly dressing sacque look, but so
many women understand so cleverly
the adaptation of every mode that we
are spared an avalanche of ladies ap-
parently abroad in their breakfast
coats or boudoir jackets.
A Lovely Smock Blouse.
One of the most beautiful of all the
smock type of blouses seen lately is
of finest indestructible white voile,
braided all over in fine white silk
braid in circle design. The bottom of
the blouse has a hem of white silk
faced back onto the blouse. A vest is
cut at the front and piped with white
silk. Two silken buttons caught to-
gether with loops of the narrow braid
fasten it at the throat. 1t slips over
the head in kimono fashion and
heavy Silken cord of white slips
around the waist and loops in front.
This charming thing is to be worn
with white skirts of satin or silk or
crepe.
A curious concession to- the over
blouse notion is found in many elaho-
rate waists of chiffon or georgette
with the front piece left long enough
to go over the skirt and the back, stop
ping just at the waist line. The belt
of the skirt slipped over the front
panel gives the effect when worn un-
der coat or a vest. The blouse. of
course, buttons down the back. The
yestee Lives on and on and appears
just as often on simple waists Of wash
fabric as it does on the more elabor-
ate type.
One finds waists of georgette with
vests made by using frill after, frill
of narrow Valenciennes lace. Always
the vestee is simulated by leaving the
front panel longer than the back so
that it hangs over the skirt. Just as
often one finds a hem Of some con-
trasting color to the body of the
blouse added, the contrasting color
appearing on collar and sleeves also.

TOO MUCH FOR THE ocULlsT
That Kind of Shortsiehtedness Was
Something for Which He Had
No Cure.

A woman consulted an oculist about
her husbands eyesight, saying she
wanted a very strong pair of glasses
for him.
II fear l cannot recommend glasses

the oculist said.
"He won't come at any price," was
the reply.
"Then tell me something about him.
Can he see objects at distance, or
does he experience difficulty when
reading? For instance, could he see

spot a pigeon on the wing quicker than
he'd see an airplane, especially if he'd

for work for the last ten years and
never got any to suit his fastidious

instant the first symptoms of acid-stomach-
pains of indigestion; distressing, painful
bloat sour, gassy stomach; belching; food
repeating; heartburn. etc. Whenever your

serious consequences are almost sure to fol-

intoKication, impairment of the entire ner-

of the liver; sometimes even catarrh of the

advanced and different sort OF thing.
The smock has undergone so many
notifications from It's first appear
ance as the typical peasant garment,
which 1t really is, that 1t Is in point
OF fact hardly recognizable. It's name,
too, has changed, for whereas in the
beginning 1t was just a smock, now it
is known as the "overblouse," and the
chemise blouse, and the Eossack coat.
The gardening period fp our recent
lives is believed to be responsible for
the acceptance of this type of blouse.
The smock Is so comfortable with its
loose free lines that 1t became at
once just the sort of thing needed for
this sort of work, especially since 1t
