Fashion Camera A pleasing ap- pearance of youth is appa- rent in t sim- ple semitailored suit with its ef- fective vest, col- lar and sleeve extensions of fig- ured silk. This type of open- front jacket with contrasling vest is a delightful By Edith M. Burtis OUTHFUL is the word that for several seasons has seemed best to describe each advent of new fashion. And this trend of fashion has been thoroughly in accord with the trend of the times. Nobody has wanted to be old and nobody with a grain of intelligence has thought or felt or looked as old as her years, for every one has been inspired and encouraged to do her best to forget self in her work for humanity. And this is the most won- derful elixir of youth that will ever be found. It is only when women think “in” instead of “out,” when they permit selfish desires and selfish thoughts to predominate, that their eyes begin to fade, and the healthy glow of vig orous life must be substituted by the bloom that is manufactured. So for this reason youthful fash- feature of new fashions in suits < ¥ T Conyriznt. 1919, by Public Ledzer Co.

This vouthful hat is of milan straw with in- dented crown keeping with fashion’s trend. You will recall I have shown you other hats with indented crowns and this is quite a fashion feature of blocked straw. The trim- ming is moire ribbon and small vel- vet roses and foliage. A pleasing appearance of youth is apparent from the first glance at the simple semitailored suit with its at- tractive vest, collar and sleeve ex- tensions of figured silk. There is a dainty charm in these vest-front coats of this season and a practical advan- tage as well, for in most cases the coats are so made that the vest can casily be detached, while in other cases the vests are made quite sepa- rate from the jacket.

You will note that while the is longer than suit skirts of last sea- son or the season before, it is still youthfully short, and one might add conveniently and practically short, if these features in skirt lengths were not so generally understood because of such general use. Worn with this suit is an interesting hat of straw and georgette, wide of brim and sim- ple of line and virtually devoid of trimming. Picot-edged ribbon cleverly trims a georgette blouse of the tablier or apron style—this particular model having 2 tablier at the back as well as the tront.

Likewise are in urance Very smart and practical are new frocks of black taffeta with vestees, collars and cuffs of white lingerie. Charmingly simple frocks of black satin are on gracefully draped lines and are fringe or tassel trimmea Quite a distinction is being made this season between the afternoon and the dinner gown for informal and restau- rant use, which means of course the need of more frocks in one’s ward- robe. The comfort and good-looking quali- ties of the jersey dress have become so generally understood that it seems to predict that the jersey dress, the dres: is here to stay. At any rate we are assured of its good style again for the coming season. serge Taffeta frocks on bouffant lines, ar- ranged at the back in a sort of bustle drapery, are a spring fashion note of interest. The effective and modish use of ribbon as a smart detail of hats and frocks is convincingly told in the photograph of the seated figure, and I think you will agree that ribbon is always a youthful trimming. It is so rich and yet so simple, so color- ful and yet so lacking in the elaborate- ness which encourages an air of ma- turity Ribbon plays a large part in fash- ions of today and some marvelously beautiful ribbons are to be seen. The hat on this pictured figured is of milan straw and simple sailor lines, Terra cotta and the new henna color are used as cording of silk or satin on frocks of dark colored taffeta, making an effective color combination. The soft daintiness of frocks of georgette is so generally understood today that virtually every woman has at least of this type of dress in her wardrobe. This season there is again a delightfully varied collection of these dresses from which to choose one or mor and lines are m which permits of a satisfactory choice. one Colors Frills of colored orgardie are useu most effectively as a finish for the neck and wrists of a group of smart black and navy taffeta dresses.

Not only is taffeta being used for the dressy frock on draped and bouffant lines, but many severely tailored frocks of taffeta are to be seen Ostrich developed into a thick ruche banding has been usec¢ most effec- tively on a velvet ana satin dance frock.

The interesting and unusual trimming is flower and Surely no argument is necessary to convince a young woman of the comfort and becomingness of this new spring model the brim being slightly mushroom and faced with a dark velvet, which, as I have told you before, softens the fea- tures and helps to create, if it is not a reality, the appearance of youthful- ness. Velvet, be it known, softens the features and casts a very desirable shadow that helps the natural coloring of eves and skin. This hat is trimme1 with a two-tone ribbon made into a most unusual bow; that is, however, not so difficult to duplicate, if one is generous in her purc of ribbon and gives the making of the bow the necessary thought. Quite the reverse in style and line from the hat just described is the small close-fitting model on tam line: developed in a combination of satin and georgette. And yet it is equally youthful in line, and this youthfulness is accentuated by the simple but de cidedly effective trimming—a new trimming made of straw flowers and foliage. No argument would seem necessary to convince a young woman of the comfort and becomingness of this new spring model. The figure exploiting this hat wears an cape that because of its simple lines is youthful also. For this is a straight cape hanging in graceful ripples from the shoulder and not a dolman or draped cape, which two are more inclined to give the ap- pearance of maturity than of youth. The last hat to describe is not essentially a youthful shape, for the tricorne is a shape that is and can be worn by women of virtually all ages and all varying degrees of youthful or mature appearance, but the youthful feature of this hat is the unique and unusual trimming—a <-ck's head n a brilliant color combination of scar- let, gold and black The jacket shown on this figure has the youthfulness of straight lines, for to conceal either the spareness or plumpness of age is a secret that re- veals the youthful appearance of many women. interesting When Pimples Trouble OUNG people are frequently trou- bled by disfiguring pimples which constantly appear upon and the This is due to overactivity of the skin, the face serious blemish complexion. oily skin, indigestion or an infection. The trouble is not especially, difficult to control if the victim of the pimples will only be persistent in keeping up a simple treatment to get rid of them. The great trouble, though, is that most people grow weary in well doing after a few days and forget or neglect the prescribed course of action. Of course it is hopeiess to try to get rid of pimples unless one is eating simple, wholesome, nourishing food. Cut out all fried and greasy stuff. Eliminate rich pastries, desserts and heavy made dishes. Eat freely of fresh and well-cooked vegetables and fruits and drink plenty of water. If the system is active and in good con- dition the blood stream will be pure and there will be less to cast out through the skin. Then, it is advisable to take some- thing which will have a beneficial influence upon the blood and gskin. For this purpose sulphur and cream of tartar tablets are excellent. They can be obtained very cheaply at the drug store and a tablet should be taken after each meal keep the and free bottle of good Use a Turkish the face It is also skin of the face oil. fmportant to itself clean from Procure a liquid antiseptic soap. washcloth and clean thor: oughly three times a day. keep the washcloth Warm water is preferable to cold for this pur- pose Pat the face dry, then moisten with a lotlon made by taking equal parts of gasoline, alcohol and ether.

Have some small pleces of old, clean, soft cotton, moisten these with the lotion and clean the face, and especially the pores of the skin about the chin, nose and forehead, where the pimples most commonly appear. Keep up this treatment until complexion is firm and smooth. lotion removes the oil and the anti- septic soap disinfects and cleanses, while the internal treatment aids the good work along. Young men are often distressed by, pimples when the beard begins to grow and young women who are ad- dicted to the use of candy. If the skin oily and the pimples begin, reinfection is apt to take place, sa keeping up the keeping-clean process is very important. Be sure to clean. the The Lo
