GAY VARIETY OF SUNSHADES
English Paper Comments on Styles
Out Since the Days Of the
World War.

Not even in the almost-forgotten
DAYS before the war was there ever
such a variety Of sunshades as this
season, says an English paper.
Shapes have altered somewhat, and
so have sizes. Sunshades of the
normal size are still to be bought, but
shapes are apparently reverting to the
days of the crinOline. The little pat
tern with outstanding wires and sun
shades of the small deep shape are
again seen this season.
The handles are long; some are
without ferrules. and are of the club
stick pattern. The covers are bright,
especially in the self colors and
stripes. This season stripes run to
greater width than last, and the
checks, too, are large. Some styles
are done in silk of beautiful quality,
and some in printed shantung The
latter come in exquisite subdued
shades. Fringe is used a good deal as
a trimming. For one new example, the
cover is white silk overlaid with white
lace, and trimmed with black plated
tulle.

Father and Daughter
Get Relief by Eatonic

r. ]. Powell, Sweetwater, Texas,
says, "Eatonic helped me at once,
but it was my daughter who got the
marvellous benefits She could not
even take a drink of water without
awful misery, but it relieved her; she
is feeling much better. All this from
one box, so send me four more at
once"
Hundreds of people now take
eatonic; one or two tablets after each
meal keeps them in good health,
feeling fine, full of pep. Eatonic
simply takes up the excess acidity
and poisons and carries them right out
of the system. OF course, when the
cause of the misery is removed. the
sufferer cannot help but get wen.
You win find it a quick, sure relief
for heartburn, indigestion, sour, acid,
gassy, bloated stomach. It costs but
trife and your druggist viii supply
you. If you don't feel welI, you give
eatonic test. Adv.

Summer silks are usually warmer
than summer cOttons, and the prob

summer in town is indeed a hard one.
Many conservative women do not ap-
prove of white or pastel shades in the
business or shopping sections of the
city. Sheer fabrics are not taboo, how
ever, and Organdies, vOiles and Swiss
es in subdued tones make frocks that
are cool both in appearance and in
reality. OF course, navy is an old fa-
vorite in these materials and it is oft
en- dotted with white in Organdie and
Swiss. Other attractive colors, such
as Copenhagen blue, are similarly dot
ted, and they are easier to get than
the navy and white combination. which
is so popular that it is very scarce in
the shops.

FAMOUS OLD BOSTON ABODE
Province House, Once One Of the Most
Famous Colonial Mansions, Has
Been Partially Preserved.

There stands today on Bossworth
court in Boston but a portion of the
old Province house, a most interesting
relic of Colonial days; and the rest
of the court is lined with modern Of
flee buildings. But in 1920 it was CON
sidered very genteel part of town.
Oliver Wendell Holmes lived in the
old Province house for Is years.
At the farther end of the court
stands an iron-wrought archway, dec

the early part of the nineteenth CEN
tury as an entrance to the governors
garden, part of the Province house
grounds. This has Eaen carefully pre-
served, as have the stone steps which
lead to the lower level. The Province
house was immOrtalized by Hawthorne
in his "Twice-Told Tales"
The historic staircase now is gone
and only a portion of the exterior of
the house if left. 1t was built in 1897
by Peter Sargent, a wealthy London
merchant, and was considered one of
the handsomest residences in town.
During the days of its popularity the
governor gave many balls there.
