Woolens Give Way To Myriad Colors $ NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—(U.R)—Reel woolens, green woolens, blue woolens--il these are the h'ghlights of the new season. jj. First of all come the red woolens. The splurge of color gives rise to a very interesting situation. Tan and brown, in their various tonalities, have long been the ‘ woolen colors.” These have been the volume as well as the exclusive shades. Other colors appeared on the color card, but brought little response.

This season, however, the change is emphatic and the supremacy of bright colors, reds, greens, blues, is unquestioned. This monotonous j| sponsoring of the usual tans and ■ browns does not exist where the “ woolens are bought by the yard. I. One actually finds that mauves. j pale yellcws, greens—difficult colors at best — are often prefered to tans « and browns. So it is extremely gratifying to see "*tbat at last color is not to be suppressed in woolens. Spring will be a red season 1: will be a green season —it will lie a blue season—and probably a great deal of mauve, yellow and rose will be represented. The strong appeal of color in woolens is just beginning to make itself felt, and the shops who recognize this fact will be doing the shopper a good turn by giving her a chance to choose a peal rather than the staple tans and browns.

AFTER dining and dancing in flattery billowy tulle, and gorgeously bejeweled satins and velvets mid like costumes of state, what a relief to turn from the formality of the festive raiment of the evening to the smartly simple sports clothes which gladden the daytime hour. Not only are sports frocks eminently practical but when it comes to “style," well, the word is written all over this season's models, especially of jersey, for jersey Is certainly outdoing any previous record in point of popularity. When one thinks of jersey nowadays one has to entirely reconstruct one’s ideas from those of bygone days, for jersey In the now and the then bears little

semblance. The new jersey is that light weight one does not mind wearing It the year round. Then, too, there is such a vast diversity in patterning, coloring and knitted stitch as Interpreted by modern jersey. As was to be expected, the primed vogue has invaded the jersey realm, which means new triumphs for jersey in the autumn mode. One can buy the most fascinating jersey fabrics this season at the counter, either printed or metal-interknitted, or that which looks like tweed and scores of other equally as Intriguing types. Or one can find them made up in ensembles and suits and frocks in bewildering array. It seems that designers consider that Jersey is presented at its best

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing phyeician for 20 vears and calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid liven. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative mixed with olive oil. No griping is the "keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab- | lets. They cause the trowels and liver I to act normally. They never force than i to unnatural action. I f you have a "dark brown mouth"— bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver—constipation, you’ll find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards’ j, Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take them every night to keep right. Try them. 15c, 30c, 60c. j
