The Steam Washer
W O u A Ms FRIEN D

CTEAM has long been known as the most
~ powerful agent in removing dirt, grease
and stains from clothing, and bleaching them
white. Paper-makers have for many years
used steam in cleaning and bleaching their
rags, and they succeed in making, by its
agency, the flthiest pickings frem the gutter
perfectly pure and white. Until the inven.
tion of
The Steam~ Washer, or WOman's
Friend,
although often attempted, no method had
teen discovered of applying steam directly
to the clothing, which could be used in q
profitable manner for domestic purposes
The WOMAN'S FRIEND washes without la
Dor. 1t will do the washing of an ordinary
family in thirty minutes to an hour. The
STEAM WASHER is superior to all other de-
vices, for the following reasons:
lst. 1t does its own work, thereby saving
large portion of the time usually taken in
family.
2. 1t uses much less soap than is required
by any other method.
8. II requires no attention whatever while
the process of cleaning is going on. A lady
can do her washing while she is eating her
breakfast and doing up the breakfast dishes.
4. Clothing wears double the time, washed
in this WASHER. that it will washed by q
machine, or by hand labor, or washboard.
5. Lace curtains, and all fine fabrics. are

this Washer is most desirable, as it will not
full them as machine or hand-rubbing does.
All fabrics, from the finest lace to bed
blanket, can be washed perfectly, and with
ease, without the rubbing board.

9ashiop notts.


Fashionable ladies have discarded
crinoline.
The Nilsson bonnet is one of the
Autumn styles.
Black velvet sleeveless sacquas will
be fashionable next Winter.
Redingotes are destined to retain their
deserved popularity.
In dress material, marine blue is one
of the fashionable colurs.
Once more the hair is worn low on
the neck-the latest Paris fashion.
Black lace scarfs about the neck are
the substitutes for collars.
Small lobe earrings are fashionable,
those of pearl especially.
Outdoor costumes are very plain, and
devoid Of all gaudy display.
White lace parasols are appropriate
only for full dress occasions.
Gauze wells are fashionable, and as a
rule very becoming
Undressed kid gloves are worn by
ladies on shopping excursions.
Brides now wear two wells, a short
one over the face and longer one de-
pending from the wreath from the back.
Paste diamonds are as numerous
among ladies as the genuine brilliants.
ITO what base use, etc, etc"
Mittens are coming into fashion
again Spinsters are delighted. Those
of black lace, we presume, will be the
correct thing"
1t is no longer fashionable to get
your Wedding outfit abroad. The edict
has gone forth to encourage home man
ufacture.
A new kind of fringe made Of lambs
wool has been introduced 1t is inten
ded for trimming evening dresses OF
light material
Jet ornaments such as stars, buttons,
loops and sem-circlcs, will be exten-
siyely used on the new bonnets, loops
especially.
Seal-skin sacques, boas and muffs
promise to be as fashionable next Win
ter as last. Seal skin is always genteel
and stylish.
Pointed wells. either plain or dotted
are much worn. Some have fringe
border or narrow edging of real lace.
Club stick parasols and sunshades are
out of date. At least they were articles
too jaunty and "nobby' for ladies'.
Many of the new bonnets are simply
trimmed with one long feather curling
over the crown, and falling down the
back.
Ladies, possibly strong minded, are
wearing vests cut, made and trimmed
exactly like those worn by their ''lords
and masters"
Cashmere dresses made with alternate
Iuffles of that material and silk, of even
color, are much worn and very popular
Frills and ruffle are all the rage-the
higher the better. A black silk dress
and high ruff of lace is considered very
elegant
Girls with long necks and bony
throats insist that it is intensely fash
ionable and toned to wear wide
band Of black velvet around said long
neck and bony throat.
Blondes are not sought after as types
OF beauty nowadays as much as they
were. Hence, the decrease in the sale
of golden balms, etc. The brunette
and chestnut girls are now coming ir
for q share of public admiration.

America, he argues that these maladies come
most frequently. not so much from the heat a.
from improper diet. and that a very common

that the water purest in appearance frequently

of which in the human body produces morbid
affections. isolated maladiee, and epidemics
The most effective means Of counteracting the
dangers Of pure water is by boiling, BY which
all pernicioas germs are destroyed. The wri-
ter recomm ends, therefore, tea and coffee,
though he also says that wines. and even strong-
or liquors are good, 40 alcohol destroys these
