The value of Bovril lies not only in its power to restore strength and energy after illness, but also In its proved power to build up the forces that resist infection and prevent it from getting a hold.

Morning Simplicity Afternoon Richness Evening Brightness

In the Paris half-season col- lections there is more than a hint of spring to remind us that when winter comes it is quickly follow- ed by a more hopeful period of the year. pleasant reminder when " the days are dark.

Chanel has gone all out for colour: She has made a collection of bright, printed materials ard has transformed them into dress and coat ensembles. "A figured dress and a plain coat are old companions, but they look new when the materials and colours are changed. Apple green with white spots, bright red with white, spots, and many variations on these two combinations are used.

A plain dark coat, weil cut, long, and lined with the dress material. looks right and is prac- Meal. The bodice of the dress is loose fitting, with a front fasten- ing and a wide, soft fchu collar, or some other soft drapery. It has long sleeves, either of the shirt waist hlouse shape or close fitting to the wrists.

Chanel's coats and skirts are all made with long waistlines and belted at the waist, leaving the basque with a slight spring to it. Some have the basque sit behind. The Lited line at the front of the waist is notable, since it gives tilt to the silhouette which is smart.

For the evening Chanel makes skirts wide at the hem, slender hips, and little jacket bodies which fasten down the front. The decollete may be rounded.. pointed, square, and not very low. There may be little sleeves, and many dresses are accompanied by a full ruched tulle cape. Crepes, laces, tulle, spotted mus lins are used for evening dresses in soft colours and in black and white.

Another unusual trimming is a garland of fruit caught across the front of a waistbelt; or cherries with their leaves and stalks, cur- rants, grapes, anything you like in the way of small fruits. E

Flowers are worn on evening dresses in big bunkkes. There are no feathers

The late afternoon and infor- mal evening dresses are simply made in black crepes and figured muslins. The stately formal dresses are made in all taffetas In clear, bright colours, with full skirts and easy bodices.

LANE CRAWFORD The Ladies Dept. is just place to visit if you are undecided about your gifts. There are such a lot of things to choose from that I would just give a few suggestiona. Marvelously warm three-quarter length flannel dressing gowns from $15.75. Just the thing to wear over your pyjama.

Beautiful Valvet Evening Cloaks would make an appreciated gift. Handkerchiefs of Irish Linen and " Hand Embroidered are a change from the usual Swatow Drawn Work and are always useful

Fleece lined gauntlets that would keep the Owner driver warm. Woollle scarves of all kinds special- ly the lacy ones of Jaeger and would tie up into bow effect and a very unusual present would be a Race-Stick with Bag especially now when we have the Racing Season ahead.
