Interesting Features
of Accepted Fashions

Salient points of the mode can now
be summed up with a certain degree Of
assurance that the clothes wee buy
now will be In style for at least six
months sand what more can one de-
sire?
There is. for instance. the question
Of skirts. These for day and street
wear are fairly tight and therefore Of
necessity somewhat short. Evening
frocks, If of the period type with wide.
full skirts, are angle length. If slim
and straight they are not quite so
long.
The long sleeve for day frocks is
almost the rule, and while in many
instances 1t is tight there seems to
be a rapidly increasing tendency to
feature the bell sleeve with an under
sleeve of lingerie, lace or silk.
Blouses are loose, with rather cas-
ual line, which ends somewhere from
a few inches below the waistline to a
point about at the knees.
The wide expanse of neck that has
been such dominant feature of the
modes of the summer season has dis
appeared. Many women who 60 In
for the most extreme styles have taken
to high collars but the general choice
inclines toward the Chinese neck, with
its straight, outstanding collar. It is
extremely smart, but not always be-
coming.
The new three-quarter length coats
have been enthusiastically received.

Printed and Plain Gowns.

Printed and plain materials combine
to make some of the smartest Of the
new frOcks-a mode not only becoming
but economical as well. because It
lends itself to the use of remnants or
the remaking of an old dress. In one
instance. the foundation is straight
line model so simple that 1t needs prac-
tically no making, to which are added
applied front and back panels and a
cape back that may be left Off If one
doesn't care for Though cape-backs
are good this year, and for the figure
that curves against the modes decree,
such an artifice is well designed. The
rolled girdle, too. is used. but one may
substitute narrow belt II one pre-
fers.

Flowers as Decorative
Feature and Joy-Civer

The Joy that flowers can give In the
house has never been appreciated quite
so thoroughly as it is pow. The homes
are few, indeed, where flowers do not
appear fresh and lovely at such fire.
quent intervals that they seem always
present.
No longer Is the vase of flowers
confined to formal bouquet for the
uving-room and few blossoms for
the dining-room table. Hall, porch.
sun parlor, breakfast-room and kitchen
each has its place for flowers, which
vie with those In the other rooms. OF
course, flowers are seldom found in
every room in the house at one and
the same time, but they appear now
and then in different rooms as an in
spiration to those who remain at
home during the day and as a happy
note Of greeting to the tired home
conner at the close Of the day.
Along this growing feeling for
flowers as a decorative feature and
joy-giver, it has been discovered that
the beauty Of even the loveliest bios
SONS is greatly enhanced by selecting
appropriate receptacles and by the
proper arrangement and combination
Of the flowers that are used.
The worst sin one can commit In
flower display is to crowd the BIOS
SONS tightly into some unsuitable
container. An overcrowded vase is as
unlovely as an over-dressed woman. 1t
is best to err on the opposite side, If
such thing Is possible.
The clever use of single flower or
of few sprays goes long way to
make up for a scarcity Of flowers,
which fiat and apartment-house
jewellers suffer from, unless fresh
ones are bought constantly.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to b
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, ther may cause the other organs
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..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

Method of Measuring Ozone.

Before long 1t is likely that among
other attractions Of a seaside resort
may be included announcements of the
proportion Of ozone in the air.
Experiments have shown that 1t is
possible to discover the amount of
ozone In the air with fair accuracy.
Slips Of white plotting paper are
soaked in a solution Of iodide of potas-
SUM and starch. These, protected
from sunshine and rain, are exposed to
the air for a definite period. Accord
ing to the amount Of ozone present so
is the paper colored in varying shades
of yellow. If ozone Is abundant the
paper will be Of very deep shade.
