A HOME WITHOUT CHILDREN

Lacks the Greatest Joys of Life Many Wives are Childless Because of 111 Health. Read How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Helped Mrs. Benedict

MRS. MARY R. BENEDICT 313 PAYSON STHEET, KEWANEE, ILLINpIS Kewanee, Illinois. — “When I was married about a year and a half I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound because of ill health. I did not have any children. I now have two healthy little girls and I am sure I would not have had them had it not been for your medicine. Last spring and summer I got all run down, irregular, and I had awful headaches, and my back and side hurt me so that I could stay up only a short time, u My limbs would get so tired and ache till I could cry. I started to take the Vegetable Compound again and used the Sanative

Wash, and it was not long till I was relieved. Now I do all my own work and help others. I sure praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s medicines to any one I meet that is suffering from similar troubles. I think if mothers with girls would give it .to them when they come to womanhood it would make them stronger. People who have known me all my life are astonished to see me now as I was always sickly when in my ’teens until I started taking the Vegetable Compound.”—Mrs. Mary R. Benedict, 313 Payson Street, Kewanee, I1L Has a Beautiful Baby Girl Now Bridport, Vermont. —“In the first place I wanted a baby, but none seemed to come to me. I just love children and my husband is away all day, so I was not happy at all. A doctor told me I could not have a baby until I went to a hospital. But my sisters said, ‘Take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and vou will be O.K.’ I was nervous, had organic weakness, with backache, sideache, headache and no strength. I had been in bed nearly a week when I began taking the Vegetable Compound. It was all that ever helped me and I iust wish you could see my beautiful baby girl. I am fine now, and so is she. I am still taking the medicine as it keeps me well. * You may be sure I am recommending the Vegetable Compound and always will.”—Mrs. A. W. Howe, Bridport, Vermont.

The process can be used with all kinds of metals, including gold, and, of course, renders them transparent.

Gowns and Wraps on Fashion List

“Are we on the brink of a new era of dress?” is the question fioating about wherever fall fashions are discussed. To be hovering upon such a brink is a delightful state of things for women, observes a fashion correspondent in the Kansas City Star. But lady, lady, if you fancy you are in a state of joyful expectancy, think of the state of mind such a prospect brings to all designers, fabric manufacturers, ready-to-wear concerns and all kindred interests that grow rich (or poor) on women’s love of change in dress. The element of fickleness is to be reckoned with, and that quality moves money in business as fast as it brings changes in love affairs. Does the modern woman really want elaboration in dress or is this just a flurry—a normal reaction of the long reign of the straightline frock and the boyish mode? Frankly, nobody knows. The wisest ones in the world of dress, the designers and creators of fashions, retained the jumper and the modified straightline frock in fall opening. Playing safe, of course, if women do not accept the elaborate fashions they still have the simple frock to offer. One need not hesitate on the purchase of these simple frocks secure in the knowledge that they will be worn in satin, in crepe, in chiffon, in velvet, in tweeds and in jerseys. A glance at the fall mode gives the jumper its secure place and in all the bright greens, deep reds and shades of brown. The princess of autumn 1925 is a clever modification of the princess that was, it is molded to the figure about the waistline, flares at the hem, the long sleeve often flares out below the elbow or flaunts a cuff that a cavalier might envy. In other words today’s princess is a rebuilt model beautifully flared by godets, slim by means of fabric cut in many pieces almost as many as old-time gores, but, ohj so different. The V neckline, or the newer modification, a V in the back and the round neckline in front, are pretty indeed. Bedecking the Neckline. The high neckline is maintained, the fur choker often turns the trick. The scarf is as versatile as ever whether in flowing style or reduced to a string-like arrangement that falls from shoulder, down the back or ties under the ear. These straight stand collars are finished on the inside with contrasting colored silks. In contrast to the princess there is the period frock, a specimen of such loveliness was in every opening. Full skirts in rich brocades, flowing velvets, lace and taffetas bouffant in line are joined to the molded bodice. Generally speaking, these frocks have an appeal year after year.

wrap they are always in the mode. With' today’s present variety in fashions the period frock hardly has the paved path to popularity that it did when gowns were less elaborate. Insets of Ijatiste and lace in the form of godets, long front panels are now a part of the mode. Lacy collars, frills and cuffs in lace batiste and organdie are seen in many colors. The length of the coat in tailored suits is either three-quarters or hip length. Rather heavy diagonally ribbed silk in gray, trimmed in narrow bands of baby lamb, is lined in velvet to match; ribbed velours de laine in bordeaux red is one of the lovely materials for fall. In fact red in rich, deep tones is one of the touches of brightness the autumn wardrobe will know. Women accepted red very gradually but they are just as slow is letting go of this gorgeous color. The long belted jumper has a belt that fastens with silver belt buckle ot the shirt waist period. The coats are to have deep shawl collars. A scarf that winds about the throat and forms a throw is one of the Uotes of elegance. The cape is prominent on. coats, sometimes the cape forms the sleeve. The soft velours,

trimmed dyed kid, silver leather and gold leather are luxurious. Lavish fur bands, pockets of fur and braids in gold and self tones are much used. Black and rich autumn colors are shown. The tweed coats, flaring from the shoulder, have the raglan sleeve and leopard skin collar. If you have a yard or a mile of fringe get it out, the yard can be used as a bertha on a satin frock and all of the mile that can be wound ro.und your figure in spirals will make you a replica of fringe frocks from Paris. Whole capes are enveloped in fringe. ’’ Many of the evening dresses are frankly fuller, but of such supple silks that they seem slim. For these there are frequent and unusual color combinations, the dress reported by cable, made in flat layer treatments In green,

A few are straightline, such as one of poppy red, with long lines of ruffles draped to suggest flowers dripping down either side of the front and back. Mine. Rolande showed several afternoon and dinner dresses featuring moire in her Paris openings, although velvets, chiffon and crepe de chine also were shown. In evening dresses, moire is also worth noting, because it is a fabric comparatively little seen in the mai jority of showings. One model of | pinkish mauve has the corsage bordered in gold. The skirt carries a flounce low in the front but brought higher at the sides and to the waistline in the back. Many of the dresses are trimmed with vertical bands which mark the bust a little and indicate the normal waistline, adding to the width at the hem. The chiffon frocks often have a yoke of fine lace of the exact shade of the dress. Others are trimmed with narrow flounces in various fashions, but always in points, which Mme. Rolande has made the controlling motif in her trimmings. Much Velveteen Used. Velveteen skirts are an important factor. With the skirts, blouses of the same fabric, or a contrasting one trimmed in velveteen are shown, although in many instances the skirts may be purchased separately. Colors vary only slightly, deep raspberry red, bottle green, royal blue and brown skirts of this type are shown. The blue which would be very bright in another fabric, assumes a darker tone in the pile material. A skirt of chiffon velvet with lame blouse is pale rose velvet, with circular sides. The blouse has a gold cast, and introduces an array of pastel shades, including rose. It is made in the manner of the more tailored jumpers, having long sleeves, and a collar which may be worn high. It is about hip length, being held close at the waistline with a sash of self material. Bands of rose velvet and gold braid serve as trimming. The tweed coats favor straight lines broken in the back by cape effects, which generally reach just to the waist, although occasionally they fall below the hips. One model with a short cape which just covered the sleeves was collared and cuffed in fox, dyed a cocoa brown to match the tweed. The tweed suits appeared in the regular mannish effects with single or double-breasted jackets reaching to the hips, and slender skirts. More novel types had knee-length coats in either straight or flared lines, fur collars and skirts widened by plaits or gores. The homespun coats were developed in wrap-around or ulster styles, with the flare from the shoulder predominating. An attractive example in dull gray-green with irregular stripes of darker green bordering the hem and sleeves, had a fitted shoulder achieved by continuing the sleeves up into the standing collar. These models were trimmed by seaming tucks and rows of self buttons.

A VOCATIONAL BACK

A certain professor, who is a remarkably well-built man, was staying at a village not long ago. One day ho happened to pass two men carting flour. “Say, Bill, who’s that?” he overheard one asking the other. “That’s the professor what’s staying here,” was Bill’s reply. “They say as how he’s very learned.” “What a spoilt man,” rejoined the other. “I never in my life see’d such a back for a sack of flour.”

Science Called On to Come to Nature’s Aid Some alarm has been caused recently by the announcement that the Matterhorn is in a distinctly shaky condition, and may topple over into the Italian valley above which it towers. Similar fears were entertained some twenty years ago regarding the Rocher de la Clusette, in the Jura, which then threatened to fall into the valley of the Areuse. Had this happened, the valley would have been blocked, and the flow of water, on which the district depended for its supply of electricity, would have been stopped. Immediate action had to be taken to avert this calamity, which would have plunged the countryside in darkness and disorganized its transport. Engineers rushed to the spot, the mountain was shored up with concrete, and all was well once more.

Eventually he ran short of cash and wired for some to pay his fare home. He received the reply: “In each letter you say you have earned another feather. String them together and fly home.”—Tit-Bits.
