Beauty The Children's Choice

in a FOG

Children, as a rule, object strongly to medicine, and it is in no small measure due to the fact that Baby's Own Tablets are pleasant in Laste that they enjoy an over increasing reputation in homes where there are children. "My little ones call them little candles and will not take any other", writes a Canadian mother, Mrs. Adkins, 303, Shaw Street, Toronto.

Their pleasant taste is but one of several features which make Baby's Own Tablets the ideal liealth corrective for infants and young children. The tablets are readily crushed to powder and are therefore easy to give: accuracy of dosage is assured by the form in which they are put up. They are the prescription of an eminent medical child specialist,

The tablets have a mild laxative action and gently dispel constipation, sweeten the stomach, nid digestion, relieve colds, expel worms. They are of special merit during the teething period, settling the stomach, casing the

Pastel Shades for Spring

With spring suits we all can wear a jaunty sailor shape' in

cheerful colour. Some sailors are fat and narrow brimmed, others have sloping crowns with ward curving brims to show well waved hair and jewelled car tips.

All hats to-day are worn well forward, even the large brimmed ones, which are expertly moulded to cast kind shadow!.

How different from the ugly, exposed look that the eccentric high pitched models of the past season guve to quite good-looking Women.

Unfortunately, when you are

out and about all day. this is not always possible. The next best thing on a foggy morning, then, is, to use the minimum amount of cosmetics and, to take small repair outfit with you in your handbag,

It will be the shape not the trimming that will be all-important complexion milk that protects in the new millinery. A single quill, a small bunch of flowers or a crystal buckle alone will relieve the severity of a perfectly plain hat.

Unusual materials are also being used, such as pliable braid, hand woven hemp, and, later on, for summer days, a beautiful quality shantung silk from China.

To give sufficient flexibility to the material a good deal of stitching on the brim will be used. Stitched tulle is a fragile cug- Kestion for summer, whilst the machinist's art will convert lazı silk, poplin and crêpe into fashionable headgear.

Pastel tints of beige, sand, plak, blue and lac will be worn in neat little sailor and turban shapes with tailored suits and dark coat frocks..

BIAN walked in the fields one morning, reading with joy a book of paris. He met a farmer busy about his inspection of Avid and cattle.

"What brings you put so curly?" asked the Jermer; then, glancing at the book, "What rubbish are you got there?"

"I har bren reading sour lovely poems," replied the scholar, felny notited. "I suppose you think that beouty is a taste of time in your busy life.”

"Well, they are beautiful to me," said the farmer, and both stood for a moment realising that men see beauty t diferent directions.

A tiny speck of special nose cream should be well rubbed into the nose before powdering it, and it will undoubtedly save your face if you take the pre- caution of carrying a tube of the cream in your handbag so that running repairs can be carried out after one of those very necessary "good blows,"

Eye make-up is risky when there is fog about. Instead of eye-shadow, brighten up the lids with a smear of oil vaseline, and brush the lashes. with a little oil or dark brown eyelash cream.

In any case avoid repowdering as much as possible. A blend of fog particles and powder do not add to the gaiety of faces on a dull November day.

Go' as gay as you please with your lipstick, and for powder choose a warm apricot or ochre roscetone.
