Advance showing of pretty after
noon frocks for summer, reveal many
lovely models made of sheer, plain
voile. Besides these, there are striped
and figured voiles and among them
some fine, imported weayes, that are
to be reckoned with. The latter are
high priced, in fact considerably more
expensive than plain georgette. They
appear in patterns and color combina-
tons that are very beautiful. But
even so, the dress Of plain voiIe or
georgette rarely suffers by comparison
with a rival made Of the figured pat
terms. The home dress maker will
succeed oftener with a plain fabric,
especially if she makes a little eXcur-
sion in designing on her own account.
The frock Of plain wolfe shown in
the picture, bespeaks the work OF a
professional designer who is trained
to make the most of fabrics-that is to
adapt them to styles in the best way.
In this case nothing is used with the
voile but a little silk piping, but these
simple means proved equal to making
a dress of smart distinction and one
that is easy enough TO copy.
All the sheer fabrics are made up
over silk or satin and this frock has
an underskirt and bodice OF silk A
wide founce of the voile is set on

There are several styles in suits that
have almost equal chances for pOpu-
larity this spring and the only way to
determine which is the best choice is
to try them on. Straight, short coats,
opening over vestees, with narrow
plain skirts, are universally admired,
but they are not universally becoming
If they were there is no doubt but that
this type of suit would soon lead all
the rest. The test of becomingness
must settle the question of choice; no
other consideration is SO important
But there is quite a wide range in
styles to choose from, so that every
woman may be confident of finding the
particular one that suits her best.
One of the straight-coat-and-nar
skirt models is shown in the picture
and it is an extreme example of this
mode, with a skirt rather too narrow
to be practical. But to the woman
who aspires to look slender it will GER
tainly make a strong appeal, for the
skirt is long as well as narrow. The
YER hin woman cannot consider it.
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1919-04-10

The coat is a pretty model with three
wide tucks at the bottom and it opens
over a waistcoat Of plain tricolette
that is very smart. 1t has a wide turn
over collar and a row of large bone
buttons down the left side.
Braid and buttons decorate the pref
ty suit that is shown built on entirely
different lines from its companion in
the picture. 1t has a plain skirt wide
enough to be comfortable for walking.
The coat is made with long side bodies
and a short panel at the center Of the
back to which a gathered skirt portion
is added. Three groups of braid, with
three rows in each group ending in
bone buttons, dispose of the braid
and button decoration in neat, tailored
fashion, on the panel. The same deco
ration on the skirt portion ends in but
tons on the side pieces and this plan
is followed out on the front. For
those who do not like braid or want a
change from it the styles offer cross
bar and other arrangements Of pin
tucks and groups of wider tuczs in the
material.

smocks for Girls.

The pretty little cotton smocks and
frocks worn by Miss Eight-Year-
Old are made smart with cross stitch
ing or something in brightly contrast
ing wool. Pale green cotton crepe de

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
DON'T stay Gray! Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmOther's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation.
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. it becomes
beautifully dark and glOssy.-Adv.

Kidney disease is no respecter of per-

The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the fl

which are swept from the tissues by the

SOLDIER VISITS CITY.

Don Matthews, formerly with the Independent office, was here between trains today at noon, going home to Yellville from Fl Paso, Texas, where he has been for several months in service, having been in the motor truck department. He stated hes was in the same company with Lockwood Burkett and saw him few days ago getting ready for long trip, being sent out on special duty. MT. Mat thews did not know when Lockwood would get home, as work was yet plentiful. There are lots of soldiers vet in camps. He told of narrow es- cape the boys had just before the flu broke out, which prevented them from being sent to Siberia. They were ordered to pack and all motorD trucks were wrapped and sent to theN coast for shipment. A few days ago they were brought back and on ev- cry one was the mark which denoted they were to have been sent to Slbe- ria. The influenza broke out Tn their camp just at this time, thelr regiment losing heavily.
 In speaking of the influenza, MT Matthews paid beautiful tribute to the late H. c. Levy, formerly of our city, who gave his life as sacrifice to those afflicted with the scourge- Both day and night he worked, nurs- ing and helping in hours when suffl- cient help could not be obtained, un- til the poor man fell a victim himself, i his strength being exhausted from the efforts put forth for others, that ne was unable to combat the disease. MT. Matthews was chosen as the one to accompany the body to Fort smith for burial.
