characteristics of Period Frocks
BY MARY MARSHALL,

usual thing they have used it in a
narrower sense, and when they speak
of period frock' they have in mind
frock that is rather free transla-
tion of one of the bouffant types of
frocks-sometimes suggesting the stiff
wide skirts and straight long waists
that we associate with the painter
lasqueZ--sometimes reminiscent of
the more billowy frocks. of the era
Of Marie Antoinette and Du Barry or
again of the prim. pretty crinoline
frocks of Victorian days. A
straight, scant, high -waisted frock of
Directoire ggestion-though in ac-
tual fact just as truly period as any
Of the bouffant models-would seem
to be so designated.
The popularity of the full skirted
bouffant type of frock with American
women-especially young American
women--has often been commented
upon. But 1t is not without many
admirers on the other side of the
Atlantic as well. Almost invariably
these skirts are long as we'll as wide
being of full ankle length. Some
times they are posed over a fairly
scant short slip so that the more or
less transparent fabric Of the full
outside skirt gives a glimpse of more
abbreviated lines beneath-but some
OF the newest full frocks are made
with taffeta Innings as long and full
as the overskirt. There is an uneven
hnlsh to the hens of some of the
full frocks-the line either taking a
smart diagonal across the swayine
tuilness of the skirt from left to
right-or being comparatively short
IN the center, longer at the outsides.

instantly he was Modified. Not only
that, but he was in love.
JILL he said suddenly, Jill, darl-
ingl''
He reached for her hand and she let
him have it. After all, why not? She
had sense of power. She could man
age Edgar Simpson, If he was the son
or her employer. Any woman could
manage any man If she made up her
mind to do it. She was sure of that.
II want to marry you" he said
thickly. Edgar had had more than his
share of punch. I'm mad about you,
do you know it?'
Jill turned her head to look at him.
1t had been an experience coming up
to Yale. OF course. no one knew that
she was q stenographer, and alone
with the girls while they were primp-
ing in the dressing room she had real
lied that no one knew her dress was
homemade. She wore it with an air.
The girls had all been nice to her.
But fo-' all that she had known them
for wheat they were. And to certain
extent she had scorned them.
She would have been ashamed if
she had had too much to drink, as
many Of them had. She wanted a
clear head and cool mind. That lit.
tie Betty Elsmore had been dreadful.
AS she looked at Edgar she realized
that she had the opportunity to marry
him. But did she want him? She
had to be sure.
1t struck her in that moment that
he was nothing but foolish boy,
She visualized her life as meaningless
If she tied herself to him. 1t would
be just as bad as Nan, only that she
would have more money. Instead Of
a Dutch Colonial house upstate, she
would have one slightly more elabo
rate and costing much more money in
fashionable suburb.
She thought of the girls she hac met
tonight. No money had been spared
where their gowns We're concerned
and yet she had contrived one for her
self out of practically nothing. One
or two of them she had rather liked
but the majority were vain and silly
She couldn't really see the difference
between herself and these girls who
were fashionable. She knew how tC
take care of herself better than they
did, or If she didn't she at lSast had
more common sense. She wouldn't
have let soul in the world see her in
the condition that many or them mao
been in tonight. She wasn't a prude
but she had been disguised.
What would your father say?" she
asked lightly.
But Edgar had no intention of dis
cussing such matters. He wanted i'm
mediate action. He was trying tc
draw her into his arms.
What do we care?" he murmured
"Oh, Jill, you're so sweet, Don't re

had the same thought the night I hac
dinner with you. It isn't now. ]
wanted to hold you in my arms that
night, but I didn't dare. You're the

Jill was trying to keep calm, but II
wasn't SO easy. She was young and
Edgar was attractive. OF course, she
wasn't exactly in love with him, but
given time, she might easily he.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. L. N. writes: 'swill you tell
M throu h the paper whether little
girl of 31a years requires any sort of
cor waist? I dress my healthy little
girl with a light Voc, combination,
woolen dress and panties. This is all
she wears. as the panties ire held up
by an elastic and her half-length hose
also with an elastic. So she h ) no
real need of corset waist for sup
port. She has a protruding s>odomen.
II this conditions stays with her, she
will grow self-conscious, and many
people will tell me she should wear
corset waist. But / cannot see where
any benefit would be derived. How
ever, if you think she needs one l
shall get 1t for her"
ALswer-It is more than possible
that the "panties" with an elastic
hand cause the large abdomen to be
accentuated. while If the child wore
a small muslin waist with the panties
buttoned to 1t the waist line
would not be so prominent. AS this
is the classic way to dress small chill
dren, and as am not greatly in favor
of elastic bands around the waist,
anyway, it might be worth while try
ing the waist.
Mrs. A. b. B. writes: "My boy is
10 weeks old and weighs IL pounds.
At first he gained from six to seven
ounces a week, but for the last three
or four weeks he has gained less and

four hours and sleeps well and seems

o'clock without feeding. I do not
want to wean him this Summer. How
can keep enough milk for him?"

Better than Soda
for Stomach Gas
DEOPLE who use soda or mag

DEoPLE who use soda or mag
nesia for gas on the stomach,
sour stomach and indigestion
know that these give but very tenn
porary relief. The gas and sour
ness may be removed for short
time, but soon returns because the
cause still remains. Recent discov-
cries made by medical specialists
show that gas and sour stomach
are nearly always due to just one
cause--Intestinaf Stasis.
Intestinal StaSfS
THIS insidious disease, special
l. lists tell us, is caused by faulty
diet and lack of proper exercise,
and afflicts three people out of
every four.
Intestinal Stasis means the too
slow movement of waste food
matter through the intestines. BY
remaining too long in the bowels,
this matter ferments, forms gas
and poisons, and is, the cause of
gas bloating and pains, sour stom-
ach, dyspepsia, dizzy spells and
nervousness.
Even If the bowels move daily,
enough old matter may be left to
ferment, cause stomach gas, and
poison the system. Only by con-
tinued, REAL intestinal cleansing
OF both upper and lower bowel can
lasting relief be secured.
DR.. Carl Weschcke, in his private
practice, perfected and first used
the bowel cleanser and intestinal
prophylactic now known as Adler
ika. Adlerika is compound of
the best saline intestinal evacuant
with vegetable buckthorn ard cas-
cara, together with glycerine and
other gas-expelling and detergent
elements. Unlike other medicines,
i acts upon BOTH upper and
lower bowel.
