Copying
the New Styles

More women than ever are making
their own clothes. Some are doing II
single-handed. Some are calling In the
assistance Of an experienced home
dressmaker. And some are accom-
plishIng the feat with the aid Of
seamstress.
This means, writes a Paris fashion
correspondent in the New York Times,
that women are becoming more GER
tain of what they really want In the
way of clothes. They no longer are
content to walk into shop with
half-hearted air and but a slender
knowledge Of just what they are
looking for and take whatever pleases
their fancy at the moment. They are
picking and choosing.
1t also means that women are get
ting some idea Of style and beauty as
related to their own persons and are
insisting upon clothes appropriate to
their indlviduallties.
The present frocks and coats are
easy to handle on home dressmaking
basis and are not too intricate to be

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms Of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

scription, obtained at any drug store, NAV
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

Many OF the most successful dresses
that one sees these days are made on
the simplest lines. An afternoon dress
is made Of heavy canton crepe and
cut perfectly square. That is the
material Is folded over at the shoulder
line. At the waist slit Is made and
the material then falls away In a
natural drapery at the side. What
looks like a flounce at that point Is
only the remainder Of the square fall

waist under the sleeves Is accom-
plished In the same manner. Then the
edges all the way around the frock

When Lord NOrthcliffe
Takes no Chances

One day Lord NorthcIiffe as
cended from his own rooms on the
main floor to the offices one of his
principal papers, bringing in his
hand a clipping from an evening
paper which set forth how in a
country village a motor car had
knocked down and killed a child
and had sped on its wav regard
less. The car could no t traced.
He gave instructions that every
measure of publicity should be en-
gagged in finding the identity of the
car. The story was written up in
dramatic form. An offer of $500
was made for anyone who could
give facts as to the ownership of
the car, and the best investigating
journalist on the staff was sent
down to the country to probe mat
tiers.
The almost malicious glee of the
other papers in Fleet street may be
imagined when it was found out
through the instrumentality of
Lord Northcliffe's papers that the
car in question belonged to his
brother, Hildebrand Harmsworth,
having been taken out unknown to
its owner by the chauffeur. Of
course there was no more promin-
ence in the Northcliffe papers
about the matter, although rival
journalists did not forget to en-
phasize the story, including the
offer of the reward. incidentally, it
may be mentioned that Hildebrand
Harmsworth, a very kindly man,
was deeply shocked at the discov-
cry and did all that generous ex-
penditure of money could do to
meet the loss of the bereaved par
entS.
1t was two weeks later that a
murder mystery engaged the prin-
cipal attention of the London pa
pers. A murdered girl nad been
flung out of a train in a tunnel a
few miles from London. The muir
derer could not be discovered.
There was a consultation of de-
partment chiefs in Lord North
clffe's office on the matter.
Among other suggestions put for
ward was that a reward of $500 be
offered for evidence.
"Flve hundred dollars reward"
said Lord Northcliffe thoughtfully.
But where was my brother Hide
brand that night?"
