Fashion Notes.


In both evening and walking dresses
any and every combination of colors
and materials that does not conflict with
artistic requirements is admissible
Black or iridescent beads and appiques
OF silk and velvet are largely employed
upon silk, satin and cashmere fabrics.
Short shoulder capcs of material re-
sembling the dress or harmonizing with
it are talked about as feature of walk
ing suits.
The close-fitting bonnet is prominent
among q variety of fashionable shapes.
Turbans are popular for young ladies.
Instead of fancy plumage, flowers ap
pear upon latest bonnets. just at
present the sunfower is much employed,
and large clusters of roses and peonies
in rich but subdued colors are in favor.
Laces for neckwear consist almost en-
tirely of the popular Breton and Lam
guedoc, and cream tints and ecru or
deep yellow are shades much admired.
The fichu has usually narrow center
OF null or net edged on both sides with
full ruffies of lace. 1t is drawn up
closely about the neck and takes the
place of collar and bow. 1t may be
fastened in front with a pretty oblong
pin or small bows of ribbon. Spanish
lace is most fashionable for wells, scarfs
and the like.
Purple in all its shades, from the
darkest violet to the palest lilac, stands
in the front rank this spring. Among
| them the newest and most fashionable
is the heliotrope. reddish shade, which
is exactly that of the heliotrope BIOS
som when full blown. Other purples
are in grayish- h-red tints, suggesting rasp-
berry cream.
|. Most of the new spring dresses are
made with a basque bodice and double
skirt. The panieT arrangement does
not seem to Oe gaining much ground ;
some dresses ar trimmed about the
hips, but not in a very boutfant manner.
At the back the skirt is always draped
up more or less, but lower than was
formerly the case. If there be but a
single skirt, it is trimmed en- tablier in
front, with panels at the sides and some
sort of tournure and drapery at the
back. Combinations of two materials,
one plain, one figured, are still very
fashionable; indeed, very few spring
costumes are made of but one fabric,
and in many of them there are as many
us three or four.
A great many plain skirts are seen o
corduroy or velvet for walking dresses
Over these the overskirt is simply
draped and is generally of light cloth ol
camers hair, finished with machine
stitching on the edges.

Cause and Effect

The main cause of nervousness is in
digestion, and that is caused by weak
ness of -the stomach. No one can have
sound nerves and good health without
using Hop Bitters to strengthen the
stomach, purify the blood, and keep the
liver and kidneys active, to carry off all
the poisonous and waste matter of the
system. See other column.--Advance.

Tho ur;to,r, oreen color of the vepe-

The uniform green color of the yege-
table world is due to chlorophyll. This
substance, however, exists only in mi
mute quantity in plants, the leaves of a
large tree containing perhaps not more
than 100 grains. 1t appears TO be di-
rect product of the action of the sun
light upon vegetation, rs it does not
exist in plants kept in darkness. The
changes in the color of leaves in autumn
are supposed to be due to the oxidation
of their chlorophyll.
