WEIGHT-REDUCING
Fatal Benefits
PROTECTION
“Jim Nohead has been thrown
down by nearly every girl in town,
but I believe he enjoys being thrown
down.”
“He does. The exercise keeps his
weight down.”
A young man walked breezily into
the doctor’s surgery.
“Ah, good morning, sir,” he said.
“I’ve just dropped in to tell you
how greatly I benefited from your
treatment."
The doctor eyed him up and down.
“But I don’t remember you,” he
said. "You’re not one of my pa-
tients.”
“I know,” replied the other, “but
my uncle was and I’m his heir.”
Bird—I suppose they put that wire
thing over it because they’re afraid
it’ll bite.
Easter Costume Is Prettied
With Beguiling Accessories
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
[N PLANNING your Easter outfit
* remember that fashions this sea-
son have gone utterly, enchantingly
feminine. The whole story is one
of softly styled suits, dresses and
coats that are garnished with brain-
storming accessories and breath-
taking color schemes all of which
bespeak womanly wiles and witch-
ery.
It matters not how fundamentally
simple and demure your costume
starts out to be, by the time it has
been accessoried in accord with
fashion’s idea of things for spring,
it will have become a masterpiece
of sophistication.
And so, in the forthcoming Easter
fashion parade, eyes will shine
from behind romantic veils as gaily
colorful as blossoms in springtime,
gloves will be worn that look as if
they may have been dipped in Eas-
ter egg dyes, hats will be as sweet-
ly feminine as flowers and wing
trimmings and ribbons can make
them. However, for news that is
biggest news there’s nothing quite
so exciting as the irresistibly love-
ly lingerie touches of frothy frills
and dainty lingerie neckwear fan-
tasies that give a freshness to
spring outfits.
When it comes to the costume-
ideal to wear on a gladsome Easter
day choose a suit. Style-leaders
have already declared this to be a
suit season. This year suit enthu-
siasm reaches a new high, especial-
ly so because the woolens that fash-
ion them are beyond a doubt the
handsomest that ere glorified
the fabric realm. It would be be-
yond human imagination to con-
ceive of weaves more eye-ap-
pealing than the gorgeous plaids
and stripes that go to make up
the jaunty jackets that partner
with pleated or gored swing
suits registering as “little girl”
fashions for grown-ups on the
new style program. And tweeds!
We have gone so completely Eng-
lish on the subject of tweeds. There
are suits and ensembles and gowns
galore to choose from made of the
daintiest most fetching woolens that
ever you saw.
So, if your fancy turn to other
than tweed why not a superbly tai-
lored pencil-striped lightweight
wool crepe suit such as centers the
group pictured?
To the right in the picture, see
what white violets and frothy white
organdie do in the way of toning
a sheer black wool dress up to a
fascinating degree of femininie al-
lure. The draped cowl of embroid-
ered organdie with va! edging as
here worn is real news as to what's
doing in the neckwear reaim this
spring. Top this costume with a
white violet crowned hat, add a
violet corsage and you couldn’t look
sweeter on a bright Easter morn.
To the left is a charming suit in
navy serge with collar and cuffs of
pique.
With a greater than ever suit sea-
son heralded for spring one can’t
possibly have too many blouses,
and the big news in the blouse
realm is the revival of the sheer
handmade “baby blouse” exquisite-
ly tucked and frilled, hand-embroid-
ered and lace trimmed. See the
picture of one of the newest lingerie
blouses inset in the group below.
It is of self-printed organdy. Note
the new fluted collar with its tiny
narrow lace-trimmed edge to add
to its sheer daintiness.

Style Intrigue
Jacket costumes are having their
big moment this spring. According
to reports more jacket suits are sell-
ing than any other type. The jacket
suit presents a particularly interest-
ing theme in that it invites not only
intriguing color schemes but also it
affords opportunity for contrasting
materials, features which designers
are playing up most dramatically.
The clever plaid jacket pictured has
an individuality all its own in that
the arrow-shaped contrast fastenings
add an unusually interesting dec-
orative note.
Back Comes Sheer
Lingerie Blouse
All signs point to one of the big-
gest, best and most exciting blouse
seasons that has ever gone on rec-
ord. Which of course is the same
as telling you that suits are “tops”
this spring and to meet the demands
of a suit nothing less than a well-
stocked wardrobe of blouses will
suffice.
The most important message
about the exciting blouse furore that
is now going on is the revival of the
exquisitely sheer lingerie type which
is that naive and innocent and young
looking it registers on the style pro-
gram under such endearing terms
as baby blouse and it is just that—a
confection of finest batiste or organ-
die all handworked with wee tucks,
embroidery and lace edgings, just
too lovely for words.
For practical daytime wear you’ll
be wanting several washable crepe
blouses and the gypsy-stripe blouses
are practical too and flamboyantly
colorful tuning perfectly into fash-
ion’s mood this spring.
Gloves Are Worn
In Dashing Shades
Your gloves must tune to the color
scheme of your costume. The shops
are showing doveskin slipons, also
fine fabrics in all the new tones,
tints and hues. Fuchsia shades lead
and violene is also popular. Very
smart are the new pink tones as
well as a range of blues.
Seasonal Shades
Greens and browns will be lead-
ing shades for sports clothes.
Open Toes for Spring
There’s nary a closed toe in the
lot of smart shoes for spring.
New Fashions Wiih
Smart, Slim Waists
NUO. 1891—Little girls should be
1 ’ seen (if not heard!) in simple,
flare-skirted frocks like this one,
that looks wee at the waist, flaunts
a narrow ribbon sash, and bright
rows of braid or ribbon. For
school and everyday, make this
dress of gingham, percale or ba-
tiste, with licrac for trimming. It
will be equally pretty for dress-
up, in taffeta or organdie, with
velvet or ribbon trim.

noon parties is this new one with
a princess skirt, v-neckline and
jabot trim. Every detail is de-
signed to make you- look slimmer.

to darts on the shoulders and gath-
ers above the waist. And of course
nothing could be more slenderiz-
ing than a skirt like this. Choose
fiat crepe, small-figured silk print,
georgette or chiffon for this de-
sign.
No. 1691 is designed for sizes 4,
6, 8, 10 and 12 years. Size 6 re-

Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, and Also
Pepsin-ize Stomach!
When constipation brings on acid indi-
gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with cer-
tain undigested food and your bowels
don’t move. So you need both Pepsin to
break-up fast that undigested food in your (
stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull the
trigger on those lazy bowels. So be sure
your laxative contains Pepsin. That means
Dr. Caldwell’s famous medicine, because
its Pepsin hclp9 you gain that wonderful
Etomach-rclief, while the Laxative Senna
moves your bowels. Tests prove now
quickly each dose of Syrup Pepsin fortifies
your stomach with power to dissolve those
undigested proteins which may linger in
your stomach, to cause gas, belching, gas-
tric acidity, nausea and ncadache. At the
same time it wakes-up lazy nerves and
muscles in your bowels to relieve your
constipation. See how much better you
feel by taking the laxative that also puts
Pepsin to work relieving that stomach
discomfort, too. Guaranteed to contain no
Cathartic Salts, does not cause distress.
Even finicky children love to taste this
family laxative. So buy Dr. Caldwell’s Sy-
rup Pepsin combined with Laxative Senna
Compound on money back oiler today.
