Trying to Shackle Love with Dollars Very Rarely Succeeds
UNEVEN HEMLINE STILL POPULAR
Soft Drapery. inserts and
Siashings Achieve This
Smart Effect.
By Marie Mar0t

"HE soft femininity of the
present mode still clings
loyalty to the uneven hem
line. Sometimes this effect is
achieved by soft drapery, at
other times the skirt Is DELHI
erately slashed and cut to meet
with the popular demand. Still
again the uneven line is devel-
oped by elongated inserts. How
ever IL may be done, it still
reigns supreme in Fashions
realm.
The two gowns pictured are
indicative Of the mode. The gown
on the left is Of black satin
and achieves the uneven line by
an insert Of georgette. The
nodded hipline il formed Of q
long waist which is softly draped
to the side. A white georgette
jabot gives \ soft relief to the
bodice, as does the touch of
white at the neck. A new note
is shown in the white georgette
ripples on the sleeves from wrist
to midarm.
The frock on the left is of the
new tweed pattern silk. The
bodice, suggestive of the bolero,
is cut in points to match the
skirt As the background of
the silk is q soft blue, plain silk
in matching color is used to
form the draped collar which
ties in a smart bow in the back
and the belt Is of the same blue
silk, with a matching buckle.
One for q smart afternoon
frock. the other a general utility
gown, but both indicative of the
last word in the seasons fashions.

ments. As a matter of fact. all Of them might be
due to the same cause.
Hardening of the arteries cannot be regarded
as a disease. It is merely one of the symptoms
of a manner of living which has not been entirely
proper. Carelessness about the eating, neglect OF
the bowels, failure of elimination by the kid
neys-these are other symptoms resulting from
the manner of living which is responsible for the
trouble with the arteries.
