Fifteen years after his graduation,
DR.. Caldwell became famous for a
single prescription, which now, after
forty years, is still making friends.
Today DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
is the worlds most popular laxative.
Millions of people never think of
using anything else when they're
constipated. headachy, bilious, feverish
or weak when breath is bad, tongue
coated, or they're suffering from
nausea, gas, or lack of appetite or
energy.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
made today, according to the original
formula, from herbs and other pure
ingredients. 1t is pleasant-tasting;
thorough in the most obstinate cases;
gently effective for women and chill
dren. Above all, it represents a
doctors choice of what is safe for the
bowels.

Ascot Scarf to Be Worn
Under Suit or Coat
Is Useful in Replen.
ishing Wardrobe and
Is Source of Warmth.

TO replenish the late Winter ward
= robe we suggest new ascot scarf
to wear under suit or coat. You can
tie it ascot fashion in the front or
simply, lap it at front without tying it.
Wisely chosen, it adds smart touch to
your. costume and it adds materially to
the warmth of your street costume with
out adding weight or bulk.
We suggest a new dress Of the after
noon sort that you can wear under
your Winter coat, and by all means
choose one of the new three-color COM
binations which are SO much talked
about at present. Three colors do not
make a dress any more vivid than two
or one. A black dress may be trim
med. for instance, with chartreuse and
white, or a brown dress may be trim
mod with rose or coral color and white,
or brighter blue dress may
be trimmed with gray and egg shell.
If you have black or other dark
toned street suit this Winter or if you
have a dark separate skirt to wear
under your coat we suggest one of the
new plaid taffeta blouses. You wild have
to see them to know how interesting
they are.
If you need new dress to wear under
your Winter coat in the office when
you want to look particularly nice, for
luncheon with friend at a restaurant
or for not very formal afternoon
bridge we suggest one of the new silk
jacket costumes that are shown at pres

Old Wicker Can
Be Rejuvenated

Have you some rather worn looking
wicker furnitureI
If you have, doubtless you have just
decided to let it go at that, to get
used to looking at worn furniture the
rest of your life.
But it is quite possible to freshen
up this faded, worn furniture without
too much trouble.
To begin with, wash it thoroughly
Either use hose, or else pail of hot,
Soapy water, brushing it well into the
cracks and crannies of the wicker, and
then pail of cold water for rinsing.
The pail of hot water with the hoseful
of cold water for rinSing makes an ex-
cellent combination.
Then dry the furniture thoroughly.
Let it dry in the sun, If the day is not
too cold.
Twenty-four hours after washing it,
begin painting it. You can use enamel
or fiat stain which comes for wicker.
Use one or two coats, according to the
way you want the furniture to look
One woman who makes a success of
putting her wicker into good condition
uses only one coat Of stain, and rubs
that off as fast as she puts it on. She
really rubs it off with a soft cloth, SO
that the resulting color is soft and
light and dull. The effect is excellent.
You can use a band of black or of
some color darker than your foundation
around the edges of the chair. Or, If
you have painted with black or dark
green or blue, you can use band of
some bright contrasting color.
One way of adding the second color
is to rub off all the first coat of foun-
dation color before it is dry wherever
you want the second color to appear. so
that when the first coat is on, there
will be bare wicker wherever you want
the second color.

Attractive Combina.
tons Of V ariOus
Kinds Are Approved
by Fashion Experts.
New Stripes, Plaids
and Checks Are Run.
ming Close Race.

FOR street and Office wear a dark
costume-black or navy blue-with
touch OF bright color by way of trim
ming is exceptionally smart. The con-
trast may be one, two or even three
colors.
Plaids are smart and will remain in
good repute. Lelongs two-piece cos
tune consisting of a plaid skirt and
scarf worn with slightly flarad short
coat of plain dark color is decidedly
smart. The skirt and scarf are often of
knit wool with the Jacket of wool crepe.
Separate blouses of plaid silk crepe
are also smart, and incidentally very
practical. You should certainly buy or
make one to wear with your Winter
suit now and to have on hand to wear
with lighter weight suit or separate
skirt later on in the season. If your
suit has short jacket, you will want
one of the shorter hlouseS, made pos
sibly with belt of ribbon to tie over
the skirt band at one side. If it is to
be worn under longer jacket or coat,
you will prosSibly prefer one made with
a slightly f1aring paplum.
Stripes are also decidedly smart. In
fact, the new stripes and plaids and
checks are running a close race with
the new prints for first place during
the coming season. There are some
women who are so devoted to prints
that they will always buy them when
they are to be had, and others who find
the new plaids and stripes much more
to their taste.
Pastel tones are still in favor. They
are worn extensively at the Winter
resorts and are likely to hold their own
for the coming Spring and Summer.
But the really new tones are some-
what stronger than pastels, possessing
at the same time something of the soft
cast of al pastel. There are slightly
yellow psnks such as shrimp and sal-
mon that are much spoken of at pres
ent with watermelon and geranium for
those who md clearar tone more be-
coming. 1t would be hard to find q
shade OF blue that was not repre- scented
somewhere among the smart new dress
collections, but the smartest Of these
also show that combination of strength
and softness that keeps them fr0aa be-
