gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

The Paris shops are full of the most
fanciful designs Of stockings. They are
made in cream color, lemon color, or
ange yellow, straw color, pink, pale
blue, pale green, lilac, light brown, dark
brown, crimson, scarlet, purple-in
short, in every shade and every color.
But the precise tint Is only half the
question; the designs worked upon the
stockings are far the most important
part of it as regards fashion, and these
are of the most varied description. One
pair of stockings which excited much
admiration from the passers of q we'll
known shop in Paris was in lemon color,
and toe ihstep OF each foot was covered
with punches of black currants, with
| their twigs and leaves, most delicately
embroidered in the coiored silks.
Another example of ornamentation lay
close at hand, in the form Of black silk
stocking, around the leg Of which a gar
| ter of pink rosebuds and leaves winding
upward from the ankle was eXquisitely
embroidered. This last fashion is very
popular just now. Stockings SO embroi-
dered are, of course, enormously dear.
Few women can afford to buy such ex-
pensiye articles OF dress as these gar
landed stockings; therefore 1t becomes
| a matter of eager competition among The
| leaders OF fashion to secure as many
specimens of the latest rage as their
purses will allow. The mania is in
stilled, and hencetorth the woman of the
world takes rank according to her stock
ings. Garlands of flowers do not hold
| the field alone, 1t must be observed. In
some cases Inscriptions and devices are
embroidered around the legs OF the mod
ern stockings, and rows and patterns
are worked in coiored silk stars or
spots. The ground, however, of all this
work must, on no account, be white.
