SPORT TOGS; OTHER APPAREL
Vogue for Homespun and Tweed Mate.
rial; Spring Hosiery, Shoes
and Gloves.

At present, there Is q great vogue
for sport garments of homespun and
tweed. These materials fashion the
most attractive suits in alluring col
ors, periwinkle, apple blossom, ver-
vain and adobe. Undoubtedly these
suits will make strong appeal to the
business woman next spring, as they
possess excellent wearing qualities and
are reasonable in price. Garments of
knit fabrics are also most popular,
little strGlghtline dresses, capes which
fall in graceful folds, sweaters and
three-piece suits.
Flowing sleeves continue to be worn
but are now often attached to the
wrist by the use of ribbons, or of
jeweled bracelets, or bands Of Jet or
onyx. In fact, jewelry is worn to a
marked degree just at present; neck
laces, earrings, bracelets and fancy
girdles, all adding barbaric note of
richness to many an otherwise undec-
grated costume. The fan, too, con-
tinues TO occupy prominent place In

FASHIONS IN BRIEF
loosely fitting hats of felt and beaver

Closely fitting hats of felt and beaver
are popular for sport wear.
The bateau necklines and other shall
low decolletes are preferred to the
extremes just now.
Shor capes have stole collars of
fur, and are edged with narrow black
silk fringe.
An uneven line at the hem may be
:ery attractively developed by a sash
tied so that one end hangs well below
the skirt hem proper.
The new handbags for spring must
be fiat and thin and ornamented with
onyx, karcasite or jewels, whether they
be of silks, moires, velvets, faille or
satin.
Clusters of chenille dots on the light
wells will take one of the leading ranks
among the veilings in the spring. In
the cluster effects there will be several
contrasting colors.
A novelty apron that has been es-
pecially featured at a smart New
York shop is made of suede cut in
stripes that are studded with steel
beads, forming pattern. This novelty

well as In the matron's, and even the
fiat nosegay often accompanies frocks
which simulate the quaint modes of
the Thirties.
Looking back in retrospect to a
year ago one realizes that skirts after
all are much longer. though whether
they will attain the ankle length of
those worn by our Partisan sisters
remains to be seen. With these long
skirts come the large tiat-trimmed
hats.
In the new spring hosiery, colors
continue to rival black, and light tones
sucn as gray, beige, sand and taupe
are favored. 1t is expected that these
delicate shades will be worn with
black as well as with matching shoes
The white stocking also will be to the
fore If the vogue for the light-colored
cotton dress materializes and they are
shown in fancy weaves as well as
with colored stripes,
The light shades in glotes, both kid
and suede, are also preferred to black
French gray, sand, mode and even
white being offered for street wear.
These spring gloves will be long, the

AFTERNOON GOWNS OF CREPE
Embroidered in Matching Silk; Design
Recalls That Used for
Spanish ShawIs.

Afternoon gowns are frequently Of
crepe; almost entirely embroidered in
matching silk. in a design which re-
calls that used for Spanish shawls.
A delightful combination shown con-
sists of cape of black crepe marocain,
with great square let into the back,
Of embroidered putty-colored crepe,
while the gown is of the lighter crepe,
entirely embroidered. Many Of these
gowns have long, tight sleeves, but the
great square chiffon sleeve still per-
sists.
Models which might be worn for for
NAL afternoon occasions, or for infor-
NAL evening affairs, sometimes have
the entire bodice made Of finely pat
termed silk lace, rather bloused at the
waist, and cut with long, tight sleeves,
while the skirt is Of matching crepe
de chine, often entirely embroidered.
Mauve and periwinkle blue are two
colors favored for these gowns.

JET in HEADDRESS
Pearls Also Used to Add to Dec.
0rations for the Hair.
Bracelet Encircles Arm at Wrist and
Above Elbow, Connected by
String Of Beads.

Jet used singly Or combined with
pearls makes up some of the most
striking combs and headdresses, either
seen In the shops or worn by smart
Parisiennes, observes a fashion writer
A Jet comb noticed recently was set
with two rows Of pearls, the upper row
two sizes larger than the lower. The
touch Of chic, however, lay in the fact
that the comb reached almost from ear
to ear, giving wonderful effect
against the dark red hair on which 1t
was worn.
A headdress made entirely from Jet
consists of narrow band worn low on
the forehead and having three circular
ornaments overlapping each other at
fhe front. At either side are jet rings,
which are as large as bracelets and
which give the effect Of mammoth ear.
rings. Accompanying this headdress is
a pair of jet bracelets, one encircling
the arm at the wrist and the other
above the elbow. and both connected by
string Of Jet beads. The premature
ly white-haired woman who wore these
affected one-piece dress of white vel
vet, the slight gathers across the front
held in at either side with Jet orna-
ment.
A new bracelet made large enough
to wear just below the shoulder Is Of
pearls strung on silver and has fringe
Of pearl beads which falls over the
arm. This fringe is sometimes Of uni-
form length and at other times has
pointed scallops. This fringe idea is
carried out in bracelets of pearls COM
bined with onyx. thus making q much
more striking and really smarter
bracelet than the pearls alone.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re.
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Dr.: kilmers Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
