waist, of botany-flannel, rrav be had
in contrasting colors, in plain colors,

sleeves of the waist are worn that

of you may be inclined to do. I
know that pushed-up sleeves are
more comfortable and easier to

The skirt is what really takes the
cake . . . pleated afore and aft

You know, boys usually don't like
it when they discover that- girls

To get relief from annoying discom

Black and White Skin Soap. Then ap
ply Black and White Ointment. It
acts as an antiseptic germicidal dress
ing in the relief of itching, burning and
soreness of pimples, blackheads and

these same discomforts accompanying
dry eczema (salt rheum, tetter) due to
external causes or simple ringworm or
minor parasitic skin irritations.
The 50c size of Black and White
Ointment contains more than twice as
much as the 25c size. Large bar Black
