"ALWAYS, MORE OR LESS, UNWELL"
NEVER ENTIRELY FREE FROM INDIGESTION AND CONSTIPATION.
1xD MOTHER SKIGEL'S SYRUP TWO WBOKA AND FOUND THE BEST OF HEALTH."
This is only one of thousands of similar frank, free statements in writing, which are constantly coming to the proprietors of Mother Soigel's Syrup. They come from all parts of the world. This one will interest you as a South African because it nearer home; it may be that the writer of the letter, Mr. A. G. Ball, is your townsman, or acquaintance.
Mr. Ball is a member of the well-known grocery firm, Ball Brothers, 108, Kloot Street, Cape Town. In letter dated December 28th, 1911, he says: "For years I was never entirely free from those pain ful diseases, Indigestion and Constipation and at certain times the attacks were so severe that I was almost incapable of doing any work. I was always feeling more or less unwell, bacame weak and de- spondent, and often had prolonged bilious beadaches. Even tempting lood distasteful to me, for after eating it vomiting always followed. Sleep, at nights, was a rare thing, as excruciating psins caused me great agony."

and recommends it to hig friends."
There is no other preparation so well and favourably known as Mother Seigel's Syrup the great herbal remedy which has been a household word for 40 years. It is made of medicinal extracts of roots, barks and leaves, which strengthen and stimulate the action of the stomach, liver and bowels. Thus it purifies the blood, cleanses the system, aids digestion and gives you nourishment from your food.
You can do better than Mr. Roll did, if you see Mother Seigel's Syrup just an 800R as you feel the first signs of Indiges tion, Constipation and Stomach disorder. Don't wait, as he did, until you become "always more or less unwell for years. And you will always be safe, if you keep a bottle of the Syrup handy, to use as. a tonic,

A HARD LIS
One of the defects of the coat and skirt arrangement, with deep turn-down collar, is the hard line that it makes round the neck at the back and sides, relieved in front, though it be by the lace-topped vest. In many cases this hard line is well, a superb complexion to obviate this. The one may almost say disfiguring. It needs little coats themselves are very dainty and pretty, for the revers are fichu-shaped, and are usually trimmed with ornamental

THE KEYTAN OF THE PEPLUM.
Some very graceful gowns are due to the retum of the peplum points in favour some fifteen years ago, and tentatively in- troduced during the last two seasons. A very charming gown made to fit the normal figure is in aluminium-grey satin and silver guipure, the long point in front ending in a silver tassel. One side of the bodice is in the guipure, the other in the satin buttoning down on the lace in three tabe in a diagonal line. There is a chemi- sette of pale pink ninon. A short train finishes the skirt at the back, which is so well cat as to cling in to the figure and yet give absolute freedom to the feet.
WATERPROOFED SATIN.
The new waterproof satin is hailed with joy by those who object, to the limited number of colours in an ordinary, water- proof cont. The satin may in any colour, and the coat is made in a smart shape finished with velvet collar and cuffs, and so arranged that it can button up the front if necessary. Velveteen also is now made waterproof. Much study has resulted in the production of waterproofs, so light that they can fold up and slip into a neat little bag of similar silk. One of more sub- stantial and yes light and sapple satin is in black lined with pale blue satin and fitted with pockets which, it small, are certainly preferable to none.
THE OLD-FASHIONED RUCHE. Our grandmothers' ruches are back i agnir, and used by the mile on the new spring taffetas gowns and skirts. All trimmings, including these ruches, are kept as flat as possible, so that the line of the gown may not be interfered with. Flounges, also in again, are in the same way made with very little fullness, and are arranged as flat as possible. In one case, with a taffetas walking dress in shot pale blue and gold, a narrow flounce with hemmed edge passes across the shoulders, alrust meets at the waist, and thence de scends in shalloy curve to the hem.
FLOUNCES THAT ARE FLAT.
It really has no right to be called # flounce, so perfectly fat is it kept, except for the fullness necessary to turn it back from the hem and start it on its voyage up to the waist at either side of the tiny train at the back. Another revival is that. of piping both for gowns and coats, and together with the fich of the moment we appear to be reverting in many ways to the fashion beloved of our grandmothers.
·TAFFETAS GOWNS POR SPRING WEAR. In London the new taffetas outdoor frocks are made walking length, and only. those for occasions such as paying calls, attending concerts-and not always even then-are guiltless of any train. Shot taffetas is in great favour, and a gown of this material is worth descriping. The skirit, falling in straight lines, but not tight to eccentricity, is trimmed down one side with buttons in groups of three, and little flat bows of ribbon matching the silk. Over it tells a tunic of embroidered net rising in front in a bib-shape, which is very slightly pouched over a folded belt of the silk, fastening with three flat bat- tons. This tunic is short in front, not quite reaching the knees, but at the back falls in a long panel, which detracts from the unbecoming tightness of so many gowns of the present moment. The bodice is collarless, but a little frill turns back from a two-inch guimpe and forms the sleeve for some three inches below the
