Of course, these are two ex- mes. But the dress designers seem be segregating women more largely, o two classes than they, have for past few years—the classes of nme and younger. The young sses will be draped with plenty of ins and panels and floating ends of sort or another, And the Inger dresses (they, call them ‘s when they are as youthful as this) will be made of chiffons and jt taffetas and tulles very much dis- ded over the hips until some of m look like very youthful balloons .

Then over it was imposed a balloon skirt of pink gill net. And, while the net was made in many layers and was as frothy and filmy as it could be, it still was transparent enough to show the draping ti.ough its surface. Now you know that this was good looking. 1 have seldom seen anything lovelier, and whether the girl had reached twenty or passed it she would look perfectly chatming in a frock of that sort.

I have been using your Simplex alarm clock for six years and never felt better in my life. Before buying your No. 6X model, with gong and siren attachment, I used to snore all night, oversleep in the morning and feel grouchy most of the time. Now I always set my Simplex for 6.30 A. M. and wake up at 6.15 for fear it will go off, I thus save fifteen min- utes per day as well as wear and tear on the alarm clock, Thanks to the Simplex I no longer snore except when asleep. I not only get a full breakfast every morning, but also have to get my wife's; and I am grouchy ALL of the time. This has resulted in an increase in pay, for I am employed as a subway guard.

For twenty years I slaved as an or- dinary house painter, contracting lead poisoning for $1.20 an hour, I could see there was no future in this business, even if they set me to paint- ing blinds. That was before I took Prof. Beezar's Self-Improvement Lessons. They worked a miracle in me, After the third lesson ! took off my spattered white overalls and told my wife to use them for a mop.

One beautiful thing about using silk for dresses of this character (and the new silks do wear wonderfully) is that they can be so colorful without being overly conspicuous. Haven't you ever noticed that when a woollen material attempts to have color it usually be- comes too vibrant and noticeable? Well, that’s just the thing which a brightly toned silk manages to avoid. It is a more subtle achievement ana consequently a more becoming one. So have your spring clothes made of heavy silks if you want something is new, something that has the Kk of style, and something that you will rejoice in wearing because it is so totally different from the clothes that you have repeated so many times. And, if you want to have the very most interesting sort of silk street dress, do it in two colors—that ts, combine tan and dark blue or gray with black or purple with sand color, or hydranga with gray. These are not sport suits, mind you —they are real honest-to-goodness city and town street suits. And when you want to put aside the cape or the coat which Is usually a part of them, then you have a whole and complete dress underneath, They make, in fact, two dresses instead of one. This, for example. A dress made with a dark blue skirt and a gray bodice section, tied with a simple narrow girdle made of the blue. A cape made of the blue, lined with the gray and bound all the way ‘round with a gray silk braid. That is one of the simplest of the models. But they are elaborated into many more beautiful and inspiring models, which you must now get busy and design for yourselves—for you can do it just as well as any designer if you put your mind to it.
