[ PROVED IIS WORTH * "I have three children,” said Mrs. Clair Gurney of Belfast, Me., “and all our family have proved the worth of Father John's Medicine. My husband has taken It with good results and we have given it to the baby to build up her strength and it helps her very much.” No \lroliol or Oangerous I>rug». Charmingly Chinese By ELEANOR GUNN. All sorts and conditions of influ ences ara credited with giving the necessary impetus to put over the mode Chlnoise. Whether it lie the fascination of Mah Jong or the dawning appreci ation of the glory of Chinese color and design, makes little difference as long as one is alive to the possibilities and importance of the Chinese trend in dress. At this date the most prominent single style feature is the three quarter tunic which Is introduced tn practically every line arid which is given street, sports and afternoon de velopment. Based on the popularity of the unbelted frock, it merely gives a new Chinese effect to the accepted silhouette and the general popularity for two-piece dresses, merely adds impetus to its growing popularity. Sports dresses showing the three quarter tunic with fitted underskirt are shown in crepe d« chine and alpaca and often have tielts to accom pany them, for those who are con cerned about the becomingness of the three quarter unbroken line. Afternoon frocks that treat the three-quarter blouse In a truly Chinese manner are frequently em broidered and worn over pale satin slips. Street frocks of the same con ception are very smart In twills and kasha doth In the high colors that will typify the season. The two-piece frock liaseil on Premet’s "La Garconne" model has established itself without question of a doubt and is amply represented in the shops here. Practically every seasonal fabric, has been used to de velop this type which embodies the simplicity of the mode, which is per haps its strongest characteristic. Frlllier frocks and frequently tai lor made dresses exploit tiered skirts in pleat or flat arrangement and the apron continues to be a favorite means of placing fullness to the front. The edict of fashion that if there is fullness It will to placed In front has not changed and the flat, un adorned back continues to be promi nent for spring. (Copyright 1924.) | Personals | Mrs. A.

Fate has hit them hard. Perhaps fate's blows on them are just God’s test of you. If you on- weighed In the balances and nbt found wanting, prosperity will continue to !>e yours. If you fail in the test, prosperity may be withdrawn. At any rate, please try to help these pitiful cases. No other charity has provision for buying shoes for poor children.

"She'll go all over town to save 10 rents—" That was what the woman on the hack seat was saying. There was a note of disgust and weariness in her voice. We didn't turn around, but we knew she looked "tightwad,” though she didn't actually say it. Not but what thrift is still a staple virtue. In these days of steady moun tain climbing to catch up with "peak" prices, the little silver dimes are well worth looking after. But running "all over town," when there are so many worthwhile things waiting to he done—! Why didn t "she,” whoever It was. sit down for a minute, quietly, some morning when husband and children were off. on the way to office and school, and adjust her values? For one’s sense of the relative Im portance of things does get so skewed about, Just as one's hat does in a ldgh wind. So many-things are ab j solutely other than they were, and | we don't always recognize ttWi fact. 1 And here was this woman, a thrifty soul, strong in the power to save ] money, by scrimping, if need be, but j weak in seeing the proportion of things. Those little dimes looked so I big to her that they shut out many | greater things. One can see her, ppshcfl and Jostled | on the crowded street, elbowed and "buffeted before the bargain counter, standing till she was "ready to drop," and maybe discovering, after all, that the gingham was an inch too narrow or the silk weighted with tin, or the fruit too green, or over-ripe, so hack she must go, after all her pushing and struggling, to the department store or the market stall where she was "half a-mlnd to buy," earlier. Or maybe she finds just what she was after, a genuine bargain at a saving of money. But what of the weary feet, the flushed face and blown about locks—for a hair net is too perishable a luxury for/such as she—and what of the long wait for dinner that—husband and little Alice and Sam will have, and the short temper they must put up with? ".She" wouldn't spend a S cent car fare to tako back the 3-cent-a-day book that she can carry tomorrow, alien she goes to the dentist. Her money sense would tell her that was bad financiering. But time,' and strength and temper, those are other matters. And so sh£ and her kind go on their reckless way, esonotnizing in coin, but wasting the real substance of life, that can never be replaced. Free Concert.
