GRADY COUNTY PROGRESS. CAIRO. GEORGIA.
MEANS GREAT SAVING
PRETTY NECKWEAR THAT
BE MADE AT HOME.
Somewhat Expensive to Buy Ready to
Wear, But Materials Are Cheap
' and the Work Really Amounts
to Little.
Never before was there such a de
mand for pretty neckwear; in fact,
the. fancy, for it amounts to a craze.
Going through' a stock of neckwear a
few days ago I was astonished at the
simplicity of ‘some models and could
not help, thinking how much money
might be BBVcd If'the material were
bought and the pretty accessories be
made up at borne, writes Helen Howe
in the Washington Star. True, one can
buy inexpensive neckwear that is very
pretty; .but alas! only jntll it has
been laundered. Then It is poor look
ing and sleazy. The better qualities
or neckwear nre quite expensive. For
example, a collar marked at $1.50 I
found was made of lace sold at 50
cents n yard at the counter. The two
were exactly the same, both In tint
and quality. As one yard makes the
collar the saving is obvious. It could
be made In half an hour, too.
■ The lace is*folded In two and nine
inches marked off at each end. There
it is mitered to form the corners. The
lace between the corners Is plaited
or gathered to fit the collar on the
waist. A str.tp of lawn doubled will
make the raw edges neat and give a
firm hold for sewing In.
The organdie collars are very popu
lar indeed. A collar in a good qual
ity will cost 50 cents, the cheaper
kinds a quarter, while half a yard of
the material will make half a dozen
collars in different sizes because the
material is so very wide. For 60 cents
a yard a very sheer organdie, can be
bought. The collars are made double.
The usual finish is a picot edge with
or without a row of hemstitching just
inside. This can be sent to the hem-
stitchers to be done. In preparing the
collar for hemstitching the raw edges
are placed together and basted half
an. inch from these edges. This is the
guide for the hcmstitcher. When re
turned the raw edges are cut away
and the result is a picot edge. If an
additional row of hemstitching Is de-

WANTED A PERMANENT BOND
This sumptuous evening wrap of
black velvet Is richly embroidered with
silver spangles. A fox collar enhances
Its beauty.
FOOTWEAR MUST BE RIGHT
Sired It will be necessary to put in a
basting thread to show where. It is
not safe to give a verbal order.
Plain organdie collars are the rule,
though, we see some .embroidered,
others decorated with insets of lace
and so on. I like those showing a
little embroidery in satin stitch all
around or upon the revers. These are
especially dainty.
Organdie lendB Itself well to collar
and cuC sets, and so does pique, which,
by the way, is one of the fashionable
fabrics again. Not the stiff, old-fash 1 -
ioned kind, but a soft, though heavy,
weave. The large £ord is preferred
to any other.
The pique collar and cuff sets are
made with a machine Btltch. The
material is always used double. The
edges are stitched upon the wrong
aide. Then the collar is turned right
side out, and a second stitching is
put around the edge.
COLLARS OF WHITE SATIN
Woman Who Dresses Well Will Real
ize the Importance of This Essen
tial of Her Costum^.
At present smart footgear occupies
a great deal of attention, and the wom
an who realizes the importance of the
smaller details of a costume will in
vest in a large selection of shoes, for
almost every gown demands harmoniz
ing shoes.
One of the newest ideas Introduced
upon smart slippers for afternoon and
evening wear is the ankle strap, which
clasps about the ankle in bracelet
form. There are also jeweled ankle
straps—not;.the stiff .metal bands of
other days, but flexible straps of rib
bon or satin, with jeweled slides.
In the fall high boots with wrinkled
tops will be worn. They are fashioned
of soft leathers and extend half way
to the knees.
Embroidered leggings and gaiters
also be worn, and with all footgear
stockings of a color to match the
gown are favored. The vogue for
black and white however, makes
white stockings the correct color to
wear with black shoes.
Make a Charming Addition, Especially
to the Gown Made Up of Dark
Blue Serge.
There is already much speculation
about the joining of soft silks and flar
ing circular skirts for spring, but if
both remain in fashion after the
French 'openings, which are scheduled
for February as usual, no doubt the
designers will find some good way out
of the difficulty. Much can be done
by borrowing from the ideas used in
evening gowns made of silk net, which
now have flaring five and six-yard
skirts held out by a thick bullion cord.
A cable cord of velvet or silk can re
place this one on silk Btreet skirts.
The advance fashionB in dark blue
show the usage of white satin in the
way of wrinkled stock collars and
wide turnover cuffs, in wide belts of
white kid with pearl buckles, nnd even
in white satin hems when the nature
of the frock allows one. This Is a
good idea for the woman to assimilate
If she is given to wearing dark blue.
It would brighten that serge frock she
has now and make it a bit different
from wbat it has been.
Fur Is Overdone.
It is almost a relief to see a suit
without a vestige of fur trimming, for
the use of fur threatens to be sndly
overdone. Effectively used and In
good quality, fur trimming is .enorm
ously successful upon street costumes,
but if one cannot have fur that is at
least good of its kind, one would be
wiser to do without, and the number
of cheap fur-trimmed models shown Is
lamentable. -
Petticoats Are Wider.
Petticoats are gradually growing
wider at the foot, to keep pace with
widening skirts. The ripple skirt,
edged with fur, is all the prettier for a
ruffled silk petticoat beneath it, and
the new petticoats with plaited frills
are very gay and coquettish affairs
Pussy willow taffeta, soft in ■ texture
and charming in coloring, is better
than messaline, which soon wears thin
and frays at the seams, and the frills
may be hemstitched or picot-edged to
add a final touch of distinction. Dan
cing petticonts of white or pale pink
pUBBy willow silk are flounced with
lace and accordeon plaited chiffon
with trimming of small silk roses.
DICTATES OF FASHION.
The newest card case Is of striped
silk
There is a new brown or greenish
shade called rhubarb.
, Pale green and tan are the favorite
shades for gaiters.
A yellow vest will add a note of
richness to the gray suit.
Ripple styles and cape effects pre
dominate in both evening and after
noon wraps,
The new Japanese quilted wrappers
are cut with perfectly' straight unfit
ted back.
Square frames are seen in the new
handbags, and some handbags are mel
on shaped.
There are no tight-fitting coats; all
the new coats are semlfittlng; some
have clusters of plaits at the side.
Evening slippers are gorgeous. They
are made of all sorts of. rich ma
terials and trimmed with brilliants and
pearls.
A gay conceit in handkerchiefs, not
exactly the thing one would recom
mend tor dress occasions, but just the
thing to delight a kiddle, is a linen
handkerchief with a gay Panama
canal straying in colors across ltB
southwest corner.
Return of the Train.
Trains are UBed on most of the new
evening gowns. For a long time most
evening gowns, especially on youngec
women, have been trainleBS. Some, to
be sure, have had trains. But now
most of the new ones have them. Will?
short skirts, ail the way around, the
train gives a rather odd appearance,
for it bangs separately, from the waist,
over the very short skirt.

A New Cure.
A bedpost has not generally been
regarded bo much as an eyo-opener us
an eye-shutter, but if a story that
comes from Boston is true—and what
story from Bostoh was over untrue—
our oculists should go to school to the
handmaids of Morpheus. Mr. Frank
H. Hayes, who has been stone blind
for nine years, so the tale runs, struck
his head violently against the bedpost
on arising, and was astonished a few
minutes afterward to find that his
sight had bean entirely restored. We
do not know whether the virtue of this
cure lay in the bedpost or in the fact
that It was n' Boston bedpoBt, but it It
was really effected in thiB way there
would seem to be a good deal in such

dreamed of in the philosophy of optics.

"Well," responded the mite, “when
father died you married daddy—and

Why, my little son!” exclaimed the
perplexed mother. "You shouldn't

Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Reo-
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
If Bladder Bothers You.
When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don’t get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugB that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary- tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re
moves the body’s urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. in 24 hours they
strain from it 600 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water—you can’t drink
too much; also get from any pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass , of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapos and lemon
juice, combined- with lithia, and baB
been used for generations, to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also -to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer Is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.—Adv.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
balr is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructlvo to
the hair aB dandruff. It robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish,
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen und die—then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight—now—any time—will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’i
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. It will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an incomparable
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after Just
few weekB’ use, when you will actual
ly see a lot of fine, downy hair—now
