Bridal Gowhs
Contrast .
v. Oddly-
The June bride of 1920 will tear
a gown of flowing lines simply made
vith cascading veil of sheerest tulle,
but what of the brides of former
-days? Suppose we go ,backjust a
short half century ago and take a
reep into the memory Jooks of our
grandmothers. Let us turn the
pages, yellowed by disuse, until we
find a picture, very quaint and odd,
of a debutante bride of that time. V
The material of thegpwn is of
heavy azura silk, so heavy that the
gown might almost stand alone.- It
is combined . with rich lace
(not scantily, but in lavish profu
sion), peeping, out from everv fold
of the stately costume. Long sleeves,
rounded neck and the was"p waist, so
very fashionable, in grandmother's
time, mark the bodice which is
elaborately embroidered in seed
pearls. Many, many days and
weeks it took to do such embroidery
by hand and we little know the
dreams, ine nopes, tne prayers the
Iretty bride-to-be wove into it.
The skirt is full, closely pleated in
the front, with N voluminous folds
of the silk caught to waistline in the
iack and forming the much -admired
bustle effect f days long past. The
skirt extends into a short train
which is lined with many rows 'of
the valuable 1ace trailing on -the
floor. The skirt as well as the bodice
has its share of the embroidery,
which is now almost beyond price.
To this day th gown, so carefully
made in the era of the war of the
states, is carefully kept, wrapt in
many layers of tissue paper and
locked securely-away in that queer
trunk in the attic. '
And when pretty Miss Grand
daughter of 1920 chooses her wed
ding day, grandmother's eyes grow
dim and a smile lights her face when
sne unnKS ot ner own Deautuui
, bridal dress. Perhaps she even tells
the girl, be she a favorite of the old
( lady, that she may use that valuable
lace from the wedding gown of the
gray haired little woman on her own
up-to-date dress.
And supposing grandmother
brings the dress out from its hiding
r place and put,s it beside the creation
of Miss 1920 what a contrast there
is. Such a thing is being done this
veek by Brandeis' Stores in their
window display. On the Seventeenth
sireei siae or tne storen entire
modern bride and the bride of civil
war days. The bridal gown of 50
years ago was given to the store to
use in this display by Mrs. A. D.
Schermerhorn in whose family the
dress has been for many years.

GUARD AGAINST
Appendicitis U caused by noisona from
decaying -food 1n the bowels. Many peo
ple have bowel movement every day, but
it is not a COMPLETE movement and
much oei. stale matter stays in the system
to ferment and cause trouble. Often there
is only a small passage in the center of
bowels while the sides are covered with
old. hard matter which stays in the sys
tem. Besides appendicitis, soch unclean
bowels causa influenza, fevers, headaches
and stomach trouble. Old, hard waste
, matter sticking to the aides of the bowels
often poisons the system for months, mak
ing you'feel tired all the time and "half
sick." Don't allow this old. fermenting stuff to
stay in your bowels but GET IT OUT and
keep it out. Even if your bowels move
slightly each day, that is not enough.
There) must be an occasional THOROUGH,
complete cleansing to rid your system oi
all accumulated decaying waste matter.
COMPLETE. STSltM CLtAWBtK.
The most COMPLETE system cleanser
known ia a mixture of buckthorn bark,
glycerine and ten other . ingredients, puf
dp in ready prepared form under the name
of Adler-i-ka. Thia mixture is so thor
ough a bowel cleanser that it removes foul
and poisonous matter which other cathartic
ar laxative mixtures are unable to dis
tedce. It loosens and dissolves foal nut-
cer ewciiia iw wum wi bcBh..vB,
working without the least diaromfort or
trouble. It ia so gentle that -one forgets
he has taken it until the THOROUGH
evacuation start. It is astonishing, the
great amount of foul, poisonous matter
ONE SPOONFUL of Adler-i-ka drawa from
the alimentary eanal matter you would
never have thought was in your system.
Try it right after a natural bowel move
ment and notice how much MOSS foul
.. , a.., : '
matter will brought out which was
poisoning your system. In slight disorders
such as occasional constipation, sour stom
ach, "gas on the stomach" or sick head
ache, ONE spoonful always bring relief.
Adler-i-ka is a constant surprise to people
who have used only ordinary bowel and
stomach medicines and the various oils
and waters.
