becomes invaluable as an article of diet, and
especially SO in hot seasons when the liver is
more inclined to become sluggish. Another

should not be overlooked is this, it is easy,

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?
Shawl dresses.

Shawl dresses are among the novelties sent
out by French tailors. These have a thick
fringe and wide border of contrasting color
to the main part of the shawl, as gray on
blue, red, or black, and this border forms the
trimming. For instance, the corsage is made
with surplice drapery from the right
shoulder to the left side of the waist, and the
border forms this fulness; two rows of the
border are down the fronts of the long
drapery, with the fringe dropping between,
and another border extends up the back in
the Bedouin drapery which hooks ON the cor
sage back. Velvet collar and deep velvet
cuffs complete the dress.

The new waterproof cloaks are things of
beauty. They are very different from the
ugly old black garments that did not even
have the excuse of usefulness for being,
for they did not turn rain In heavy

are light as gossamers, too. But they are

And said May, ''How wish that we couldr
And old Mr.. Spring, who was fond of a joke,

Just see my poor head; it's as bald as your hand;
Come, why can't you give me your curls!''

As an illustration of the advance OF

This citizen, who was prominent figure

once ran for alderman In the city. His
opponent was Frenchman with fund
OF repartee that broke out on all occa-

the square, the citizen, who will be
designated as Mr.. s., In appealing to the
crowd for votes, said:
"Gentlemen and fellow-citizens: came
