To Keep Hair in Wave
l on Damp or Windy Dayx
ThU is a secret thiit will be appreriated
by my lady who dislikes the “nervous"
tn k of twisting her locks around a heated
* iron, perhaps singeing the hair, burning
off the ends, and blistering fingers or
scalp. From any druggist procure a few
ounrea of pure liquid silmerlne, pour a
littla onto a clean tooth brush and draw
this down th** full length of the halj just
W* before doing it up. The hair will have a
wonderfully soft, pretty curliness, much
more natural looking, glossier and livelier
>n appearance than where a waving iron
has been used, and the effect will last
much longer. Hilmeriti** is neither sticky
"or greasy, and there will be no trouble
doing up the hair in any style. It will
^ hold it.B curl ev*e >n damp, foggy or windy
^ weather.

Printed Silks Dominate
the Spring Mode.
The world seems to have suddenly ,
gone mad on the subject of printed •
silks. The public Is buying them as
fast as the manufacturers can turn |
them out, and there Is no end to the
striking and original designs and
lovely, vacied color effects.
There is no doubt but that the
world will he a vastly gayer place this
summer owing to the popularity of
these figured cotton and silk tna
V
terials. Frocks of this kind need no
trimming, as the design is quite orna
mental enough. The bodices are usu
ally qtiite plain with bateau necks,
short sleeves and a low waistline. All
the Interest Is to be found on the
akirt which often has pleated tiers
Of panels.
The frock in the sketch today is of
this type, a charming and practical
model to wear in the house now and
later, In the hot weather, on the
street.
It is black and white printed crepe,
for in spite of the demand for color,
the manufacturers report that they
cannot make black and white combi
nations fast enough.
A narrow girdle and accordion
pleated panels on the skirt give dis
tinction besides being graceful and of
the mode.
Pleated panels at th« back of the
sleeve* and on the skirt bring grace
to an unusually effective frock of
black and white pjlnted crepe.

That is our "War Cry." We want you to know
it because it means Your Health. Your Com
fort and Your better understanding of Shoe
satisfaction.
Shoes have been built to “fit” the eye instead
of the feet. Naturally these misfit shoes
have crippled thousands of feet. They have
broken the health; they have caused untold
suffering and have failed to keep the feet in
shape to give a full day’s work,
•
Don't forget that the BIG NERVES of the body
travel through the feet and legs; that when feet
are crippled this GREAT NERVE suffers; it is
pinched and cramped, thus causing serious health
troubles.
* •
We have SPECIALIZED in foot comfort for more
than twenty-five years. We have bought only the
kind of shoes that will give foot support, foot bal
ance, and fit the feet snug, without friction. These
shoes give you better feet and better health, yet
they cost no more than those shoes that have been
made to fit the “eye".
Come—bring us your foot troubles. We carry
every worth-while make of comfort shoes, including
I he Grant FLEX A TED shoes for Men and Women.
I lie Trail Blazer Shoes, built and endorsed for and
by The Women’s Foundation for Health. The Lady
