HATS have long been conceded the
J. J. place of first Importance in the
matter Of smart dressing do won
ders for those who know how to select
them-but up-to-date women are in
clined to dispute this supremacy.
Blouses, smocks and small coates or
jackets that will dress one up to any
degree Of formality are making things
interesting for millinery. These brill
liant garments rival hats in gay beau
ty and are the most convenient of be-
longings, for they are not difficult to
make, and they tone up the wardrobe
without any great expenditure of time
or money.
A lovely example which may be
classed as either coatee or smock
appears In the illustration above.
Blue and silver are combined in the
supple tissue that makes little coat

vest of embroidered georgette and a

SKIPPER REGRETTED HIS FIB
Persistent Questioner, in the Classic
Language of the Street, "Got

The deep-sea fisherman often has a
sharp tongue and is not likely to get
the worst of a verbal duel. But
George, the skipper of Yarmouth
trawler, who figures in north Sea

Wood, certainly met with his match
once whether he knew it or not.

find many admirers among women
who are striving to achieve the ap-
pearance Of slenderness, and the 9TH
er will appeal to those who must make
up for lack Of curves in figures a
little too slender. The woman Of nor
NAL weight does not have to concern
herself with these things, but only to
consider which style is most becom-
ing. The suit at the left has high
waistline and is embellished with a
little embroidery matching it in color.
The coat has single fastening at the
bust line in link buttons, and they
form the finish for the plain coat
sleeve. tsst3i~a
The box coat employs silk braid,
edged with a narrow plating of rib
bon and bone buttons for decoration.
A tie at the front of the collar pro-
vides a pretty new touch, and the
sleeves are relieved from entire plain
ness by three buttons and buttonholes
at the wrists. Neither of these suits
accepts the fiaring sleeve. but both
adopt the straight skirt.

THE versatile mode presents us
L with conflicting silhouettes in
,uits and a variety of styles to choose
from, and leaves rs to pronounce our
own Judgment on them. The straight
and the flaring box-coat seem des-
tined to a great success; they are
developed with many ingenious vari-
atoms In lines and trimmings, and
have a youthfulness of style that is
great asset. But the box coat has
rivals that boast the charm of nov
city, In suits that have ripping pep
lums on their coats, and in others
that have the appearance Of frocks.
A few things are assured; among
them the success of the faring coat
sleeve on box coats, the continued use
Of embroidery, the vogue of slender
lines and straight skirts.
Two suits very different from each
other in outline, invite comparison, in
the picture above. One has a straight
box coat and the other coat with
ripping peplum. The first suit will

after she had identified the body OF
a man drowned in MorristoVTn as that
of her husband, got home from his
work. Where loops went, where he
has been since 1907, and what his
present intentions may be, Mrs. Pier
son has no idea whatever.
Love Is Dead.
OF one thing she is certain, she said.
That is that her love for Charles
loops is as dead as she believed him
to be, and that nothing now can come
between her and her present husband.
In this Mr.. Pierson agreed with her.
II don't love him any more" said
Mrs. Pierson. "He deserted me and
was sincere in my belief that he was
dead"
Morristown officials said that the
body found in millpond there few
days after loops vanished from his
home never had been identified Off
cially, and had been buried in pOtter's
field. Mrs. Pierson said that she had
assumed it was the body of loops be-
cause pruning knife was found In
a pocket and he was accustomed to
carrying such tool. She had been adj
vised not to inspect the body, she said,
and was too poor at the time to pay
any burial expenses.

SIMPLE ROAD TO HAPPINESS
AS Benevolent Old GENTLEMAN Pointed
Out, Desired Result Might Easily
Be Attained.

The beautiful young woman, dressed
In fashions most pronounced style,
entered the street car and sat beside
a rather benevolent-loOking old man.
AS the car started she happened to
glance out the window at bunch OF
little girls playing on the sidewalk.
"Don't they look happy" she
gushed. "But no wonder. Why, /
remember my happiest days were when
used to wear short, little gingham
dresses"
Now, the man had seen her enter the
car, and he was well Informed about
the length Of the dress she was wear
ing, so there was no mistaking his
hint. "You might try gingham instead
of the silk you're now wearing" he
suggested.

WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
Bladder trouble and never suspect it.

nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.

gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann
bition, nervousness, are often times symp'
toms OF kidney trouble.

Orange, n. Mrs. Barker Pierson
of 8 Elizabeth street, almost collapsed
recently when she opened her door in
response to a ring and saw a short,
dark complexioned man whose hair
was beginning to turn gray. She rec
Ognized him at once and barely could
hear him address her because of the
sudden roaring in her ears that seemed
an echo of the tumult in her brain.
He was Charles loops, her first hus-
band, whom she believed mad been in
his grave for more than Is years. DIM
ly she comprehended that he was
asking for the address of their son,
Adrian, now eighteen years old, who is
in the navy. The startled woman
heard herself responding mechanically
to the question.
Was Great Shock.
The apparition leaned comfortably
against the porch railing and asked
her something else. What it was, Mrs.
Pierson does not know to this hour.
The full significance of this mans re-
turn in the flesh had swept over her
with his casual assumption of an ease
full pose on her front steps. Sudden
recollection of the five-year-Old boy
who was playing In the room behind
her and of the husband who soon
would return from work smote her,
and the shock was so great that she
suffered when her eyes lighted on the
small, dark-featured man before her.
Without another word to him, she
turned on her heel and shut the door.
She tottered to her bed and could
scarcely speak when Mr.. Pierson,
whom she married in 1912, five years

Large Audience Hears
Marcel Dupre's Recital
Organist's Symphonic Impro.
visation on Five Themes
Ia Well Received

A largo audience, with many stand
ing, heard Marcel Dupre's organ rc-
cital yesterday afternoon at the Wana
maker Auditorium. The established
program began with clear-cut pre-
sentation of Bach's Toccata and Fupuc
in d minor, which amply disclosed the
technical powers Of the Notrc Dame
organist; followed by Widor's "Sym-
phonie Gothique." AS played by M
Dupre, it needed but slight effort OF
the imagination to picture its subject,
Rouen Cathedral, while Cesar Franck's
Third Chorale in A minor was more
emotional in character, and reused the
audience to enthusiasm.
Interest, however, centered on NJ.
Dupre's symphonic improvisation in f
minor on themes submitted by A. Wal
ter Kramer, Rubin Goldmark,' Josef
Stransky, Pierre Monteux and Percy
Granger, which he took five minutes to
select and arrange before the audience,
The first movement began in joyous,
changing to a martial, mood worked up
in thunderous tread, which subsidized
like the receding steps Of an army. A
grave, melodious "lamento" was fol-
lowed by an lntermezzo suggesting an
eighteenth century dance; then camo

Dupre, it was announced, had not
heard Mr.. Granger but his atmosphere
was distinctly Graingeresque and
proved that the organ could have n
humorous aspect. After this, encores
were inevitable
