NIGHTGOWNS, TO GO.
More Individuality In Pyjamas.
[By Irene Adair
In spite of the fact that "fluffy" undies are the vague, and night- gowns are very decorative, pyjamas are preferred by many girls. In attractively designed trousseaux there is to be found at least one pair of pyjamas, which may face, trimmed, worked with tucks, or richly embroidered for there is nothing stereotyped about the detail.

A
SUMMER COAT.
Draped Collars Or Scarf Effects."
By Mollie Little.]
While most of the Summer dresses have their own little jacket to bear them company, and frocks of the tailored variety have their accompanying three-quarter length,. or even full length coat, yet for those of us who simply ennnot afford as many coats as we have dresses, there are equally smart affairs so designed that they can be worn over practically any dress. Usually these new warm-weather coats are either collarless, or have draped collars or scarf effects, 80 that they can be worn comfortably with the large hats that are to ac- company a certain type of dress.
One-Sided Effects. Sometimes the coat has a neck- line that is camposed of a collar on one side only, being elongated at the back to form a scarf which may hang loosely over the other shoulder when a large hat is worn, or twisted around the neck if the wearer is sporting a little beret.
There are, too, revers which are wide and flaring and give that pleasantly feminine
appearance for, which the new coats evidently strive.
The cape collar is often seen and is cut in various novel stylea) in order, to differentiate between this season's product and that of last year.

Most of the pyjamas have a coat to add the final touch of chic. Perhaps the sleeves of the coat are trimmed with three flat frills, and mare, frills go on each trouser leg, but it is the decree of all fashions just now that no effect shall The frocks have even skirts of auntidy, however intricate it may sensible length well clearing the be, and circular frills are apt to ground.

Strengthen those
Nerves
Neurasthenia (nerve-weakness) has been called the "disease of the 20th century.". It is estimated that 95% of the popula tion suffer from it. Trembling of the haids, irritability, restlessness are a few symptoms; so are sleeplessness, stomach trouble, lack of energy. All are due to one cause-weakness of the nerve-cells. It follows then, the only logical way to conquer these complaints is to strengthen the nervous system.
You can do that with Sanatogen. As a well. known physician has stated: "Sanalogen goes right to the core of well-being, viz., the cells and builds these up into a fabric of lasting health.” Sanctogen feeds the cells of the body with the exact proportion of those elements-glycero- phosphate and albumin-from which new nerve-strength is derived.
After a short course of Senatogen nerve- weakness will disappear and very soon you will feel radiantly healthy again —strong and energetic with a keen appetite and a new joy in life. Start taking Sanatogen to-day and notice its wonderful influence on your health.
