PARIS, Aug. 4.-Name of a name OF

Paris.
The fall fashion show has opened to
discover the skirt rapidly disappear
Ing and thousands spent the day with
their noses lattened againstjthe plate
glass shop windows behind which
beautiful mannikins displayed new
fashions.
Hundreds of American tourists
struggled for places next to the Win
dows. In the more exclusive shops
all the accents of the United States
could be heard as the spectators ut
tered ordinations, surging against
the siiken ropes which kept the crowd
from swarming into the ring" where
models languidly strolled about.
The peek-a-boo skirt was the hit OF
the show. This garment is composed
of two panels, one in front and one
behind The panels overlap and are
stitched only part way down, so that

IRENE fall skirts are two inches short

ingly tighter. Prices also are reach

are shorter, but necks are higher.
Some of the collars are designed TO
touch the ears.
Fluffy ruffles and transparencies are
favored in evening gowns. Colors are
astonishing yellow and silver, for ex.

chinhilli fur with a low v back and
beaded ornament hanging down to

Wraps also have a punch this sea

American tourists was cloth of gold

Experts say the styles lack any new
constructive ideas, and are simply a
'readoption of those of 1914, with nov
elites. Some novelties!

An oxerburdened Wife

IF the work that women do and the
pains they suffer could be measured
in figures, what terrible array they
would present! Through girlhood,
wifehood and motherhood woman
tolls on. often suffering with back
ache, pains in side, headaches and
nervousness -rhich are tell-tale symp-
toms of organic arrangements which
lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound-made from roots and herbs
can undoubtedly correct. Women
who suffer should not give up hope
until they have given it a trial.
