this old, famous recipe, because no one

SPRING STYLES
BECOMING STANDARD
The Long Tunic Appears Slashed and
Abbreviated Almost to Apron
Effect—Styles for Juniors
New York, April 13.
In April, Spring tendencies begin to
crystallize and we Rre able to surmise
what will be standard and what is a
mere fad and soon to die.
We now know that the Empire dress
has come to stay with us for the Sum
mer at least, and will be worn by tho
women whose slender, girHgh figures
will allow of such lines. Others will
eschew this type of frock for it is
essentially for the youthful figufr.
The skirts are full and short, very
high shoes being worn to disguise the
fact that with the ordinary shoes the
dress would be above the shoe-tops. For
the street, the skirts are plain and full,
being cither gathered, or pleated, or
placed on a yoke. One smart blue serge
skirt was box-pleated at the top, with
a slash under every other pleat through
which was drawn the patent-leather
belt.

An Up-to-Date Separate Waist, Belt,
and Skirt
The long tunic has not disappeared,
for 011 some of the most up-to-date suits
they are worn. These tunics are so long,
however, that it is but an inch or so of
the underskirt that is seen beneath.
Sometimes the tunic is shorter in front
than in the back and the lower skirt
may be of a contrasting material. Such
a skirt I saw recently of black taffeta
and black-and-white striped taffeta.
The waist worn with this skirt was
made with a black collar lined with the
striped material and flaring so that the
black and white formed a decided trim
ming feature of the waist.
Other tunics are slashed up the side
and give almost an apron effect front
and back. Again, the tunic shrinks to
a mere apron in front, which may have
rounded corners and be edged with a
narrow, fluted ruffle of the same ma
terial.
In my illustration is to be seen a
chocked taft'eta dress, which is made
with the up-to-date tunic skirt. The
check is in gray and black, and white
with a touch of sand is used for the
body of the waist and for the tunic or
overskirt. The vest of the waist and
the underskirt are of gray taffeta. A
cunning little hat is worn with this
dress, and is strictly tailored in its sim
plicity and extremely smart.
Suits are very smart which have a
covert jacket and a skirt of black
covert, the connecting link between coat
and skirt being a black collar on the
coat.
The military effect is to be seen in
MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers—Meat
Forms Uric Acid
If you must have your meat evory
day, eat it { but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and Irritated, obliging
yon to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonfu! in a glass of water
beforo breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon .juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer irritates, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

linen suits. A very well-cut linen suit
in oyster-white was made on Norfolk
lines with .a belt and very large pockets
on the side over the hips. The box
pleats in the coat were duplicated in
the box-pleats on the skirt, which, in
this case, were pressed down to the
hem. In the wool skirts tffe pleats are
often laid in at the top, but are not
pressed in.
Braid is also used to give the military
effect to jackets or waists with a cut
far from military. A dress with a
basque-like bodice of dark blue and a
plain, full skirt, had four heavy braid
frogs fastened directly across the front.
Narrow braid outlined the lower edge
of the waist. The hat worn with this
was the crowning feature of its
militarism.' It was black, round and
rather shallow, and worn well over the
forehead. Directly in front was a cock
ade of gray, black and red ostrich
fronds.
Callot striped and checked taffetas in
the sand color and black combinations
are extremely smart. One which I liked
very much was made with a surplice
bodice and a skirt cut bias front arid
bach, with the sides cut on the straight
of the material and pleated. A girdle
of the same material was worn around
the waist, ending in the back with a
large up-and-down bow of the checked
silk.
My first illustration shows the trim
tailored lines of an up-to-date shirt
waist of sand-colored chiffon and a trim
black skirt. The belt, which is notice
able for the placing of its pockets, is
of pique and clasps in the front with
pearl button-clasps.
The separate waist and skirt are
holding a strong place in tke wardrobe
of the woman of to-day. The waists are
usually trim and tailored in their lines,
and the skirt should be short aud flar
ing around the lower edge, while the
shoes of stfnd, gray, black, or tan should
lace up the side instead of the front.
Large white linen or pique collars,
with cuffs to match, are charming worn
over the simple waist of gray or black,
giving the effect of a Puritan or a
Quaker costume. Gray taffeta is used
for one dress, with a skirt tucked in
large tucks in the back; while the front,
which commences at the hips, is per
fectly plain. The full waist is topped
with a large unstarched linen collar,
and the long, close-fitting slee\yes has
gauntlets to match the collar.
Some waists are made with a square
or oval opening in front —something
like th'e shape of a man's shirt bosom,
only not so deep. A tucked or pleated
front of white organdy, with a round
collar fitting neatly over the back, is
used for a chemisette in these waists.
A Checked and Plain Taffeta Dress
With Tunic Skirt
Children's clothes, from the little tote
to the juniors, show the simplest oi
lines. Linen is used again and again ii
blue, white, and the soft shades of rose
and tan which a,re so smart. One dress
which was worn by a twelve-year-old
girl was of a soft shade of rose. A little
long-sleeved bolero jacket was cut with
square corners, each one embroidered
with a simple design in the same color,
A pleated skirt hung from a high waist'
line, while the daintiest of batiste
blouses merely peeped from underneatn
the tiny jacket.
This same girl had removed a coat of
Dutch blue chiffon broadcloth made with
an Empire waist and pleated skirt. A
wide braided belt was worn over the
joining of waist and skirt, and was
stitched at the top only, leaving a
stand-away appearance at the lower
edge. The hat worn with this coat was
of sand-colored and black straw trim
med with a single band of black gros
grain ribbon about an inch and a half
in width, which ended in double loops
in the back which hung to the shoulders.
The party dresses for the little girls
this age were made of sheer organdy or
batiste. One was made with the de
cided Empire waist and was charming,
while the other which I noted particu
larly was made with a waistline just
below the normal. The skirt was made
with double ruffles edged with lace, but
the whole effect from arm-pit to bottom
of skirt was very straight and up and
down, and the sleeves wore three-quar
ter length rather than short or very
long.

His "Junior Partner" Entered .
Littleman was telling the younjy'
bachelors at a recent affair uptown
just how to manage a wife.
"When you young fellows are mar
ried, you must take the upper hand at
once," he said. "No weakness, no sen
timent! Hake your wife understand
that, though you love her and so forth,
she is the junior partner. If necessary,
resort to the effective methods of our
cavemen ancestors—use the heavy
hand! Put her nose to the domestic
grindstone. Why, when I speak to my
wife"—

The War in a Nutshell
You can hardly put a foot outside
your own door without finding somo
one who is sacrificing something. Yes
terday to the collecting station organ
ized by the Lyceum club came a wom
an with a man's overcoat. Put it
down. It was a fine coat. "For some
man," 'she said firmly. "It was my
son's. And he's been killed." 80 the
sonless widow walked away tearless.
