EATONIC Users
DO This Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Ml.--Thousands OF reports
from people all over the u. s. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking n or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that 1t stops
Belching, Bloating. Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out Of the body and of course,
when 1t is all removed. the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take 1t regu-
larry for a time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that eed this help. Adv.

Dresses of serge and duvetyn are

Duvetyn is perhaps the smarter, but
the material is not the best wearing
In the world. There is something
about its depth of color that makes
1t the most sumptuous of all fabrics.
and Ii takes on the lines of the figure
to perfection. Many really lovely de-
signs have been turned out in wool
Jersey for the coming season, and this
material constitutes a good back
ground for heavy wooden embroidery.
Serge Is Paris Favorite.
Serge, they say in Paris. is to he as
smart as duyetyn, and. because Of its
wearing qualities, II must always be
the favorite for everyday use. Moth
ing is lacking in the designs that have
been created In serge. They have
scope and variety. Blue serge Is be-
coming 10 a lot of women, though
many wear 1T when ii is not becoming.
Silks and satin cone into play for
afternoon and evening dresses, and
here. az always. one finds an even
Measure of the different materials
used. Especially in these dress-up
fashions the decision becomes a mat
ter of taste and personal preference.
There are models in all of them.
The waists on most of the dresses
are long. When they are of one piece
this is the case, and when they are
made of two materials the joining in
variabIy is at a lowered waistline.
One OF the new duvetyn dresses is in
the darkest Of dark blues. very rich
and deep in tone. This Is made up
with a long waist of white satin and
the trimming consists of narrow bands
Of the duvetyn loosely held over the
bodice. The strips reach from the
waistline. and Joining TO the neckline
are fastened at both of these places
and flop loosely between. This is an
effective frock.
Another duvetyn frock was made
with the fashionable apron front.
This is a piece that In this case was
cut circular and. being fastened at the
high waistline on either hip. fell

frock. Then there was IN underskirt.

This was embroidered In lines Of sill

was cut kimono fashion with three

This gives the skirt the pinched-at-
the-bOttom look which so many design
ers are clinging to. And 1t is not a
bad style If the skirt is long enough.
One ventures a guess that the really
good d%ressers will never wear their
skirts shorter than IL inches above
the floor, though some of the models
now being displayed 500 to IA inches
or even more. 1t Is the same way In
Paris. Those Parisians who like to
dress in extreme fashions wear their
skirts short, shorter, shOrtest-but the
really smart people keep theirs at a
uniform length according TO the pro-
portions Of the figure. This matter of
proportion has much TO do with the
length of skirts. A tall person can
carry a shorter skirt than her four
foot-four sister.
Afternoon Gowns Extremely Simple.
The satin and satin crepe afternoon
gowns are extremely simple as a gen.
eral rule. but they are interesting and
really feminine. There Is something
about the softness of satin folds that
makes a woman look her best, espe-
cially when the material In handled
so that ii has a chance 10 adapt itself
TO the lines of her figure. A dress
in unprecedented satin IS draped in
two ways on the skirt. One side
sweeps from the left waistline down
over the right leg and up TO meet it's
starting point. The other side does
the same thing In the opposite direc-
ton. The simple bodice Is trimmed
with a narrow banding of gray fur
laid about q pointed neckline and the
flowing three-quarter length sleeves
are finished with cording of the ma
terial itself.
Another satin frock In black has a
harem skirt broken In four places.
where r~ust-coiored chiffon In generous
widths Is inserted. The chiffon is at
tached 10 the satin so that when the
skirt IL pulled out at the sides II gives
somewhat the effect of q striped bal
loon. The kimono waist has a loose
panel bloused over at the waistline
and lined with the rust-c0l0red chiffon.
Beaded evening gowns are quite the
thing, and many are the varieties Of
beading. II grows more original all
the time. this ann OF trimming.
A handsome black dinner gown is
made OF heavy crepe de chine beaded
In JET over the entire surface. The
gown is cut In n piece and has no
extra fuIlness. The pattern " bead

angles with irregular sides. There
was an overskirt, accordion pleated.
while the short. tight underskirt a
made of the serge, showing a line Of
the copper embroidery. This was a
new combination of colors and design.
Another nice thing about this costume
was that IL was accompanied by "A
serge cape 10 match. Ii was simply
cut and the embroidery running all
around the ample outlines of the wrap
matched exactly the embroidery on
the gown. There was u soft copper
colored faille lining.
Embroidery on serge is most effec-
tive when Ii is done In the lighter
shades and tones. Serge takes WOOL
and silk and metal embroidery equal
~ well. and II holds the stitches in
place. One serge dress made with a
high waist in front and Il back extend
ing from shoulders to hen simply
belted at the walstllne has a trimming
of silk dots in bright colors scattered
about the space over the hips. This
trimming is repeated around the
rounded neck line and again in sim
pie little designs at the edges of the
elbow sleeves.
Another serge dress In one-piece
style is embroidered in white. Its
straight skirt Is relieved by plated
panels inserted at either side, and
these sections are held In at the hem
by little white embroidered bands.

EVIDENTLY NOT AN EXPERT
Visiting Minister Asking Blessing at
Table Mas Completely OutcIassed
by Little Isabel.

To eight-year-old Isabel ever since
she has been able to lisp has fallen
the honor In her family of saying the
blessing at meals. Consequently she
was indignant the other night when at
supper her father transferred this
privilege TO a clergyman who was a
dinner guest.
Isabel had already clasped her hands
and was bowling her head preparatory
to starting the prayer when her father
took the fatal step:
"Mr. Finderkin." he said, twill you
say the blessing?"
Isabel shot a baleful look at the
guest. but a warning expression of her
mothers face silenced the protest.
Apparently submitting, Isabel bowed
her head and her lips moved swiftly as
Mr.. Finderkin murmured the blessing.
The prayer completed, Isabel lifted
her head beaming triumphantly.
II said the blessing six times while
you were saying it once" she told Mr..
Finderkin.-New York evening Sun.
