JUST CHATTER
By Molly Maybe, Editor

[advertisement for Dodson's Liver Tone, spans cols. 2-4, bottom section]

CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP!
MAKES YOU SICK AND SALIVATES
----------------------------------------o----------------------------------------
DODSON LIVER TONE" IS
HARMLESS TO CLEAN YOUR
SLUGGISH LIVER AND BOWELS
--------------------o--------------------
Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's
horrible! Take a dose of the danger-
ous drug tonight and tomorrow you
may lose a day's work.

Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes in contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, break-
ing it up. This is when you feel that
awful nausea and cramping. If you
are sluggish and "all knocked out," if
your liver is torpid and bowels con-
stipated or you have headaches, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, if breath is bad
or stomach sour, just try a spoonful
of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone to
night on my guarantee.

[ad continues on column 3, bottom section]

Here's my guarantee—Go to any
drug store and get a 50 cent bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone. Take a spoon-
ful and if it doesn't straighten you
right up and make you feel fine and
vigorous I want you to go back to the
store and get your money. Dodson's
Liver Tone is destroying the sale of
calomel because it is real liver medi-
cine; entirely vegetable, therefore it
can not salivate or make you sick.

I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miser-
able. I guarantee that a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone will keep your
entire family feeling fine for months.

Give it to your children. It is harm-
less; doesn't gripe, and they like its
pleasant taste—Adv.

DRESS
By Anne Rittenhouse

No Matter How Strong the Claims of
Other Rival Fabrics Chiffon
Holds a Good Place in the New
Styles.
--------------------
New York, Jan. 5.—When the first
demi-season gowns began to arrive
at the smart specialty shops and dress
making houses, there was an un-
usual amount of interest displayed
in fabrics.

With the fact staring us all in
the face that there is a shortage of
everything, everywhere, we have
floundered out of the mire of des-
pair over the prophecy of even higher
prices, to a state of good sense,
which guides us into the belief that
we will wear anything we please if
the cost of new things become posi-
bilities.

This is what the people who sell
clothes call an ugly temper on the

[image of fashionably dressed woman]

part of the public but it is really
an exhibition of sane reasoning and
good temper. There have been many
serious crises in this nation when
the cost of things is beyond the fi-
nancial situation of the people; yet
these people accepted the situation,
made the most of what they could get,
and neither died of starvation nor
became humiliated through shabbi-
ness.

Slight Variety of Fabrics.

Each six months has shown us
that Paris has command over
materials, and that her mills, while
turning out perfect fabrics are not
indulging in much speculation con-
cerning novelties. It costs a vast
amount of money to establish one no-
vel line of materials and this is one
of the reaons that has acted as a
check on any ambitious desire of
the American mill people. They are
so sure that the people will buy
the stuff in sufficient quantities to
pay back the cost of the making.

Paris is still using brocades that
are a delight to the eye, and Ameri-
cans having found it impossible to
buy them in any quantity and not
having a thought of copying them is
wearing them only when the purse
permits and the social opportunities
warrant.

The opening of the demi-season,
clothes in the boxes that have come
from Paris proves that little novelty
in materials is to be expected now.
While it is quite sure that satin has
the first place, chiffon has not been
neglected, although there was a
line last summer and autumn when
it was tiresome even to the woman
with a small income and lack of
ambitious taste.

There is a chiffon aplenty in the

[article continues on column 4, top section]

world, and as far, its cost is not pro-
hibitive, and along with satin, it will
be used by the mile instead of the
yard, from now until the springtime,
at least.

Callot has sent over a remark-
able showing of gowns for January,
and several of these are a combi-
nation of chiffon and satin, with the
line of division between the two
fabrics marked out with medieval
bullion embroidery. The gown sent
to a fifth avenue importer cost him
$1,000, and it costs the firm $300 to
copy the embroidery.

Again Dark Blue.

There are people who are tired of
chiffon, and they are also tired of
dark blue, and yet, we've not going
to get away from either the fabric
or the color in the immediate fu-
ture. Both are considered conserva-
tive and in good taste, and the only
trouble about the color is that the
American buyers are making at pro-
ducing with satisfaction several
shades of dark blue.

The gown in the sketch, which is
made for the south, is of dark blue
chiffon, the skirt is pleated to hang in
straight lines from the waist. At
each side, there are flat, circular
tucks of the chiffon, held down with
a bit of embroidery. The blouse is
pleated in front, and has a square
neck and one of those new collars
that hug the back and sides of the
neck roughly in order to give stright
lines over the shoulders. There is
a row of large buttons down each
side of the front and also a care-
less sash of black silk which is
looped at the side and finished with
long ends.

FOR THE BABY.

Of course, there are no more new
babies in January than at any other
time of the year, but for som rea-
son the shops are showing most
tempting displays of baby things
now that they have had these to
close up after the Christmas rush.
If we have no new babies in our own
household and our neighbor's babies
to cuddle, it makes us feel very much
like going to the nearest baby home
and borrowing a little cherub, just
to dress it up in some of the dainty
baby things that fine shops offer.

There are semimade baby dresses
that can be put together in a very
short time. They are made with hand-
embroidered yoke tops and with pin-
afore sleeves with a little handwork
on them also. All that one needs to
do to complete the dainty garments
is to put the seams together, put in
the sleeves make the placket and
hem them round about.

Among the oddest trimming that
the shops show for baby things in
worstead scalloping of fine white
lawn or mill. One little frock is suit-
able for the first short dress that baby
wears is of finest India lawn with a

[article continues on column 5, top section]

profusion of tucks in the yoke, and
round about the quaint little turn-
down collar and the cuffs is yellow
wool scalloping for all the world like
the worstead work that one puts on
the edge of crocheted baby's coats or
sweaters. And by way of a belt or
sash there is a long cord made of this
yellow worsted with ball and tassel
trimming at the end. It knots about
the baby's waist as a monk's cord knots
around his more ample waistline.

And then there is an impossibly ela-
borate pink dress of chiffon and taff-
eta silk for the one-year-old that
shows trimming of pink worsted scal-
loping. Such finery goes all very well
with the chinaeyed, ringleted dolls
that wear these things in the shop
windows. But our own flesh and
blood, gurgling, frolicking young-
sters would make short work of the
chiffon and silk and worsted trimm-
ings.

For the mother who dotes on every-
thing the new baby does there is a
fascinating little leather blank book
that contains special regions for
baby's clever sayings, baby's doings,
Baby's weight, height and other sta-
tistics. What a document such a book
would be had the mother of George
Washington or an Abraham Lincoln
kept it. And who knows but that your
blue or brown-eyed darling will some
day amount as high as either of these
national heroes? At any rate such a
book is worth the keeping if only for
the pleasure to yourself.

The really fashionable babikin must
have a "best bonnet" in a real band-
box—and the bandbox is almost as
important as the bonnet. One fairy
creation of pink is shown in one of
shops in a wonderful box decorated
with pink roses, which would give
quite a touch of color and daintiness
to the baby's wardrobe.
