HERE'S STYLE FOR you.

silks tnat had been made into nightshirts
for five railroad magnates whose names are
as well known to you as your own. Delicate
stripes Of heliotrope, skyblue and old rose
repeated the yacht Of race colors Of their
owners, and these charming garments were
made for only $28 apiece. Well, man
wants some such things in case of fire, you
know, but these were modest comfort to the
nightshirt Of white moire trimmed with
point lace made by the same house for an
elegant benedict this year. This is
not imaginary, for the bills and
specifications for these things are
written in choice Parislan-English on
the books of well-known firm
not far from the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The
embroidered shirts in patterns so fine they

showed the scraps Of silk nightshirts had
turned them TO use In making these sachets,
setting particular store by one which COM
bined the Gould, LorilIard and Vanderbilt

ferring them.
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
D. II. H.-Better go to wholesale drug
gist's and buy pint of tara1acum extract
and mandrake, which should not cost over
81 %.
DR.. J. q. D.--The loofa is the fiber Of an
African gourd which softens in water, but
regains its crispness and form when dry, and
is valued for friction of the skin in place Of
flesh brush.

be very gentle to drive wrinkles from the
face. Put on vaseline and strike the lines
of the wrinkles lightly to work It into the
skin. 2. To enlarge the bust, sing, breathe
deeply, rub the chest with sweet oil at
night, and use light upward friction after
bathing in the morning. Set the elbows
akimbo, clench the hands and wrench the
shoulders from side to side, bringing the
point of the elboWin front of,the chest at
each turn, an exercise which develops and
throws out the breast, sending the blood
in full play to nourish il. Battle
the chest with cold water when warm,

recommend any arsenic walters. 4. To keep
your hair from falling out, I advise internal
treatment and change Of diet. It you can
as you say bathe every night, walk six miles
day, and sleep nine hours, and yet have
bad complexion, the fault is in the food.
Try the taraxacum and charcoal treatment,
eat coarse bread and cracked wheat with
each meal, don't eat liver or bacon or pork,
made gravies or pastry, and continue in
your hearty contempt for made-up faces.
Let me hear from you again.
Hodon: To turn your gray hair snow
white, plaster it with the yolk Of an egg as
often as you can take the time, leaving Il on
until it begins to dry. This is safe appli-
cation for bleaching the hair, but I cannot
recommend any more rapid process To
darken the eyebrows permanently use de-
coction of walnut juice and nutgalls.
