NEW PARISIAN MODELS
AFTERNOON DRESS
UMBRELLA OUTLINE NOTICED ON
THE LATEST SKIRTS.
May Signify Change In Forthcoming j
Style*—Lemon-Yellow Linen Prom-
ises to Be Popular—Smart Lit-
tle Cherry-Red Coat.
Redfern is making some practical
and attractive white serge suits for
seaside wear. He has always been
in favor of plaited skirts, but on some
of these white suits I noticed the um-
brella outline, and I found it admira-
ble, writes Idalia de Vllliers, Paris cor-
respondent of the London Globe.
One model which pleased me espe-
cially had an umbrella skirt which
buttoned up the front and which had
large side pockets. The coat was half-
length, with a shaped basque and a
waist belt which buttoned on at the
side seams. There was a plain roll-
over collar and wide turn-back cuffs.
Both collar and cuffs were caught
down by ivory buttons and the coat
was lined with chintz silk which
showed pale blue and pink flowers on
a white background.
Some of the more elaborate Redfern
suits have pipings and buttons made
of glove kid. This idea was success-
fully carried out on a large suit in
hedgesparrow-egg blue, which was ac-
companied by a shirtwaist made of
fine white organdie muslin. All the
pipings on the coat and skirt were
done in hedgesparrow-blue glove kirl
and there were rows of tiny blue kid
buttons on the front of the high-
necked blouse.
Redfern seems fond of lemon-yellow
lines, one of the most popular novel-
ties of the present season. The Pari-
siennea are charmed with lemon-yellow
linen and muslin and they have the
costumes made of these materials fin-
ished with sashes in ivory-white or
Belgian blue taffeta.
Lemon-yellow may be said to be the
color of the season, for dresSfes and
for hats. It is specially in demand
for dinner gowns and for picturesque
wraps which are thrown on q^er old-

ered with very fine black braidincs.
The coat opened over a white linen
waistcoat which was fastened with
ball buttons made of cherry-red enam-
el and there was an effective touch of
dull blue in the lining.
Colored linen coatees are the rage
of the hour. They are worn over
linen, serge, cloth and silk skirts, and
in all circumstances they are decora-
tive and novel. Pansy-purple linen,
lined with black and white striped
silk, makes a beautiful coat for wear-
ing with white skirts. The same may
be said for loose garments made of
Joffre-blue or rose Dubarry-pink linen.

world muslin frocks. Cherry-red
linen braided in fine black silk braid
is another summer novelty.
I have illustrated a particularly
smart coat made of this material
which was to accompany a skirt of
white linen embroidered a l'Anglaise.
The coat was rather short and semi-
tight, with a raised waistband cov-
HOLDS THE BATHING DRESS
Bag for Conveyance of Costume Nec-
essary for the Open-Air Ablu-
tions of the Season.
With the warm weather, open-air
bathing once again becomes possible,
and in anticipation of holidays it is
well to prepare a bag for carrying a
bathing dress. It should, if possible,
be made of some waterproof fabric.
It is cut out In two pieces which are
ONLY A HINT OF MILITARISM
American Women Have Refused to Go
to Extremes in Styles—New Tur-
ban Models.
Though there was, before the Paris
openings, much talk of the military in-
fluence in hats and clothes, It has been
accepted, especially in suits, only in
a conservative way. Today, the smart-
est tailored suit is much plainer than
it has been for many seasons, for it
has borrowed line rather than trimming
of the military coats. The pocket and
the bolt have been adopted, to be sure,
but in their simplest form.
Among the first spring offerings i
millinery were small dark turbans
trimmed with white wings in a rather
daring manner and turbans with a
light or white top, accented by a bow.
The well-gowned woman has chosen
these two models in preference to the
more somber ones. Flowers are cer-
tainly worn and so are cockades of all
kinds, but the bow on a dark hat is
usually 7, lute or beige and the wlnga
are almost invariably white.—Vogue.
Useful Bag for Bathing Dress.
sewed together at the base and half-
way up the sides; above this the ma-
terial is bound at the edges with braid.
The opening of the bag is stiffened
on either side with pieces of cane, the
material being turned over and
hemmed down and the cane run
through.
Quick Way to Thread a Needle.
To thread a needle when the light
is bad and it is hard to find tha eye,
put a piece of white cloth or paper
back of the needle. You will be sur-
prised to see how quickly the thread
will go through.
The handles of the bag are made of
cord securely tied to the pieces of
cane and it will be noticed that there
is one long handle and one short han-
dle. The long handle is Blipped
through the short handle in the man-
ner shown in diagram A at the top of
the illustration, and when the bag is
so closed, it can be carried by the
long handle and cannot possibly come
open.
Initials of the owner or the words
"Bathing Dress" can be roughly em-
broidered upon one side of the bag.
DICTATES OF FASHION
Hat brims are of various sizes, but
they are increasing in size.
Finish the bottom of the full skirt
with one row of puffing.
The latest bolero sleeve seems to be
cut in one with the bolero.
Parisiennes are embroidering their
handkerchiefs with soldiers.
White crochet "ball fringe appears
on both hats and summer gowns.
Nothing has ever replaced the knit-
ted golf coat for golf players.
Sashes with flower-appliqued ends
are among the prettiest novelties.
The Eton collar of sheer organdie is
a feature of the new blouses.
Multicolored picot edges to white
ribbons are among the prettiest.

Mrs. Baker So Weak—Could
Not Do Her Work—Found
Relief In Novel Way.
Adrian, Mich. — "I suffered terribly
With female weakness and backache and
got so weak that I
could hardly do my
work. When I
washed my dishes I
had to sit down and
when I would sweep
the floor I would get
so weak that I would
have to get a drink
every few minutes,
and before I did my
dusting I would have
to lie down. I got
80 poorly that my folks thought I was
going into consumption. One day I
found a piece of paper blowing around
the yard and 1 picked it up and read it
It said 'Saved from the Grave,' and
told what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound has done for women. I
showed it to my husband and he said,
'Why don't you try it? ' So I did, and
after I had taken two bottles I felt |
better and I said to my husband, 'I don't
need any more,' and he said ' You had
better take it a little longer anyway.'
So I took it for three months and got
well and strong." — Mrs. Alonzo E.
Baker, 9 Tecumseh St., Adrian, Mich.
Not Well Enough to Work.
In these words is hidden the tragedy
of many a woman, housekeeper or wage
earner who supports herself and is often
helping to support a family, on meagre
wages. Whether in house, office, fac-
tory, shop, store or kitchen, woman
should remember that there is one tried
and true remedy for the ills to which all
women are prone, and that is Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It
promotes that vigor which makes work !
easy. The Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine

FROG IN BABY'S STOMACH
Tadpole Grew and Waxed Fat on the
Infant's Milk Diet—Child
Is Dead.
The eighteen-months-old child of
Mrs. Harry Wolf of Chicago is dead,
following an operation which disclosed
conditions that many surgeons had de-
clared to be impossible, says a Goshen
(Ind.) dispatch to the Indianapolis Star.
While visiting her parents in Syra-
cuse, Kosciusko county, last summer,
Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink
hydrant water. Within a short time
the infant became sickly and lost flesh.
Treatment for indigestion was given,
but it did not reach the seat of the
trouble. Then an X-ray examination
disclosed a black spot on the stomach,
and an operation resulted in a frog
weighing more than half a pound be-
ing taken from the infant.
Doctors who operated said they be-
lieved that when the child drank hy-
drant water in Syracuse a tadpole was
taken into the stomach and that the
frog developed and lived on milk,
which was given the patient in large
quantities. Following the operation
the child improved rapidly and com-
plete recovery was practically assured,
when pneumonia developed, causing
death.
Sewing With Two Needles at Once.
It will facilitate sewing to use two
needles at the same time. In shirring
two rows can be run in almost the
same time as one, and in sewing a
braid flat on the bottom of a skirt a
saving both of the skirt (which is
handled less) and of time will be ac-
complished by the use of two needles

"Yes, he went way down to New

Province of Alberta Shows In-
crease of Over 20 Millions.
Figures just compiled by the public-
ity branch of the provincial depart-
ment show that last year, notwith-
standing that quite a third of the prov-
ince was affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in-
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year. Al-
though southern Alberta had a bad
year agriculturally, the province as a
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen-
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
•he value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk, cheese, poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.
Oats was tho banner grain crop,
1,147.382 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 30 15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of 5'0c
per bushel, these yielded a revenue of
$17,198,558. Comparatively little win-
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing a little short of one million bush-
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15,102,083 bushels, the
yield per acre being 15.26. At an aver-
age of $1.35 per bushel, the value of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20,387,812. The total production of
barley was 7,847,040 bushels, which, at
55c per bushel, yielded a revenue of
$4,316,202.
Other productions were as follows:
Flax. 207,115 bushels, $:!10,672.00; rye,
2G1.S43 bushels, $190,392.00; speltz, 42,-
707 bushels, $32,030.00; hay, 200,000
tons, $2,500,000; potatoes, four million
bushels, $3,000,000; turnips three mil-
lion bushels. $750,000; carrots, 360,000
bushels, $180,000; mangolds, 640,000
bushels, $320,000; animals slaughtered
and sold $20,000,000; butter and
cheese, $1,500,000; milk, $3,000,000;
wool clip. 1,300,000 pounds, $100,000;
fish, $195,000; game and furs, $600,-
000; horticultural products, $150,000;
poultry and products, $2,650,000.
The total of the agricultural prod-
ucts is given as $78,516,891, as com-
pared with $58,09S,084 in 1913.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was $110,044,-
630, this being an increase of $7,762,-
845 over the previous year. There
were 609,125 horses, 750,789 swine,
501,188 sheep, 192,905 dairy cows, 165,-
035 other cows, 190,923 beef cattle and
533,020 other cattle.—Advertisement.
Friend In Need.
Four-year-old Donald was out on
the lawn, wrestling with a somewhat
older boy, and getting dccidedly the
worst of it. His quick wit thought
out a way to avoid defeat, so he
called out:
"Mamma, did you call me?"
Not receiving any reply, and be-
ing on the verge of defeat, Donald
yelled desperately:
"Call ine in, mamma; call me In
quick!"—National Food Magazine

Hampton—How did you get the

"Isn't that a rather short tlmeT
Don't you think you ought to watt

"No, mum. I've tried that several
times, and every time the man changed
his mind when he got to know ma

It's a wise man who can appear stu-
pid at times—but some men carry it
to excess.
The Effects of Opiates.
THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various
preparations, al 1 of which aro narcotic, is well known. Even in tho
smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in tho func-
tions and growth of the cells which aro likely to become permanent, causing
imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life.
Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying
powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet
in their infancy. Tho rule among physicians is that children should never
receive opiates in tho smallest dosca for more thau a day at a time, and
only then if unavoidable.
The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Byrups and
other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot bo too Btrongly
decried, and tho druggist should not lie a party to it. Children who are ill
need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing leas than a crime to
dose them willfully with narcotics,

The Floor Did.
Jimmy, live years old, had discov-
ered that he could do a few turns on
the swinging rings in the gymnasium
of the Hoys' club, following the ath-
letic example of his older brother. But,
as all joy must end, so ended the hap-
piness of the young swinger. His hold
slipped and he landed on the floor.
His brother rendered first aid.
"Did the rings hit you?" he asked.
"No," Jimmy replied between sobs,
"but the floor did."

Candy Relieves Fatigue.
The value of candy is recognized by
military authorities. The British sol-
diers in France are reported as con-
suming "prodigious quantities of
sweets." A captain at the front with
the British army reports that the can-
teen has "five times the demand for
sweets that was expected, and one-
fifth the demand for beer." The Aus-
tralians encamped in Egypt have eaten
all the chocolate to be had in Cairo.
Scientists contend the sugar has
much food value and is a good sub-
stitute for alcohol. Chocolate, for ex-
ample, is harmlessly stimulating Sol-
diers have discovered what scientists
knew before, that sugar will relieve
fatigue quickly and give a sense of
strength that is real without the sub-
sequent depression experienced by
those who use spirits. Sugar and can-
dies are found to be useful not only
to the physically tired, but to those
who suffer mental exhaustion.—West-
minster Gazette.

sponded the mistress.
