i Drops Not Necessary
It is not necessary to drops
| in- making examinations of the
I eyes, except in rare cases. Nor is
| it necessary to have them "doc
tored," unless there is distinctly
I a diseased condition.
. Dimness of sight—eye fatigue,
! headache, nervous troubles, etc.
i —are frequently caused by eye
j strain, some muscular defect or
j a natural change In the pupil.
The best plan when such con
ditions are indicated or suspected
is to go to a reputable optome
trist. Properly fitted lenses will
rectify the trouble at once and
you will probably save a big
"doctor bill" —to say nothing of
j ttmo and trouble —in the future.

WE'RE all slaves to habit, to be sure. That is why we ofttimes
miss wonderful opportunities. We get into a rut, and there we
stay, doing the same old things over and over again, since we're
just naturally too habit-bound to improve our ways. Perhaps that is
why we continue buying inferior coffee. We've simply become accus
tomed to going to a certain place because it is handy and we keep on
going, even though we know that we aren't obtaining as high a grade
as we should. Now, aren't we foolish to continue such a practice when
by summoning a little will-power to our aid, we can make the break.
I and henceforth purchase our coffees at the Grand Union Tea Co., 208
I North Second street. For it is at the Grand Union that the best and
most delicious varieties are to be found.
ARTISTS —take notice! I have I
a messuge for you which you |
cannot afford to miss. Just to
day I discovered where you can pro
cure parchment lamp shades for
decorating. Indeed, when I saw
them, I felt a little pang of regret
over that much-discussed art course
that never materialized. Had I
takeh it, as was planned, wouldn't I
just seize upon the opportunity to
beautify one or more of those at
tractive shades? They come in all
shapes and sizes, for either oil or
water colors. Naturally, they can
be painted to harmonize with any
decorative scheme and I personally
intend to have one even though it
means securing some one else to ac
complish the necessary transforma
tion. Where did I find them? Oh,
yes, I almost forgot—why, at Saltz
giver's Art and Antique Store, of
course.
F FREQUENTLY during the past few weeks I have been asked
whether I knew just when the Kolbenschlag opening would oc
cur. And because people everywhere are so interested in the event
I am glad to tell them that the time chosen is Tuesday, September 30,
and Wednesday, October 1. On these days many beautiful and dis
tinctive hats will be shown for the first time, including lovely pattern
hats, stunnipg imported models, and an unusually attractive assort
ment from the shop's own workrooms. In addition, the Misses Kolben
schlag will display soft, rich fursof the highest quality, and wonderful
beaded bags such as none but the Tnost. exclusive shops are showing.
f-|-v LEASE, Adele, tell me this
I—'— are the 75-cent luncheons
at the Penn-Harris all
they're supposed to be?" inquired
a friend several days ago. "Let me
answer your question by inviting
I you to lunch there with me to-mor
| row," I replied. So we went, and at
I the conclusion of the appetizing rc
j past she exclaimed, "I'll say they
j are!" And they are! I know, for
I've often sampled them. And in
I the coffee room the meals are every
i bit as good. The same can be said
lof the grill, which is now open
from 11 o'clock in the morning un
' til midnight. In connection with it,
! -especial mention must be made of
I the unseen fountain where delicious

i OU might as well be out of
I the world as out of style,"
so we are told. And surely.
Milady, who does not possess at
least one tricolette dress In these
days of its popularity, is out of style.
So it behooves her to hasten to the
Cloos Shop in the Penn-Harris build
ing where the loveliest trlcolettes
imaginable await but her choice.
One little model of self-embroidered
navy blue is particularly fetching.
Perhaps it is the collarless neck that
lends it its charm, or again it may
be the vivid Roman girdle of soft,
silk crepe. But whatever the cause
it most certainly has an appeal all
Its own!

r\ Fall's carry in their new
clothing department are as
good as their hats, they'll be some
suits!" remarked a college lad the
other day. "I just purchased two
of the latter at their store," he con
tinued, "and I like them so well I
wish I could wear them both at
once. Talk about a tough proposi
tion! T look at the Stetson first and
decide to wear it. About that time
1 catch a glimpse of the Dunlap and
—well, I waver. So I grab one
without looking and run." And lit
tle wonder, for Mcß'all's hats cannot
be compared with the average va
riety. In addition to the lines al
ready mentioned, they carry Crofut
Knapp & Company, and Dobbs hats,
or, in other words, the best in the
land.
