FOR ELDERLY LADIES.
Colors and Styles Suitable for the Gowns
of Mature Women.

Colors and Styles Suitable for the Gowns
of Mature Women.
That "age is honorable" is rather an
exploded theory of late, on account of
the oft-repeated sneers concerning 'old
women" so we can not blame them for
wishing to appear as young as is COM
patible with their appearance and sur
roundings. One secret of success in
growing old gracefully" is to get a
little in advance of Father Time, and
commence at forty-five to dress as you
will have to ten years hence. Then the
change will be so gradual that with
care You may be dressing in much the
came manner at sixty, and the flight of
years remain unnoticed by our dear
friends so ready to detect every wrinkle
on the face or in the basque.
When fifty and over, do not think you
can only wear black, gray and purple;
colors that were once the only selection
allowed an elderly woman. The fash
ionable shades of heliotrope, dark-gree4
warm reds, navy and medium blues, seal
and reddish brown. and white are all
worn and made up in the reigning fash
ion. All of these colors may be trimmed
with black velvet, cord or jet passe-
menterie, steel, jet and steel mixed, or
black cord mingled with dash OF gilt.
A deeper shade of the same color is also
appropriate as garniture, though, in
making over half-worn gowns, black
silk, velvet or Henrietta will be found
convenient materials to exc the suit out
- ID ,,,la m cho 10 hap fO
match you will be safe in selecting
black for the new material or trimming.
A woman of sixty, having silvery hair
and dark eyes, looks doubly attractive
in a gown of dark-red cashmere trimmed
with black velvet ribbon, and with
folds of cream scrim in the neck and
sleeves. Her black silk may have a
vest of black and colored brocade, edged
with fine jet gimp, or the moderately
full sleeve may be of velvet, with col
lar, cuffs and girdle of steel and jet pas
sementerie.
Avoid the jaunty styles, like a jacket
front, and have the skirts slightly
| draped in front, at the top, as advanc-
ing years gives matronly form that
appears better with drapery near the
top than in a perfectly fiat front.
Pointed and round fronts are worn on
the basques, and coat-tail or pointed
backs. VS. and slender vests are in bet
ter taste than yokes, and while the
sleeves are high over the shoulders, it is
in a moderate degree only. Stripes,
brocades, checks and plain goods are
worn, leaving plaids for moro youthful
women. Lace frills should be worn in
the neck and sleeves Of nice dresses.
Select soft, creamery quality, as it dis
guises the fading throat and hands,
where age so soon tells. Never wear a
linen collar after the first bloom OF
youth has departed. White can be worn
at any age, but creamery shade is far
| more becoming than clear or blush
white; also wooden rather than cotton
fabrics Velvet is wonderfully soften
ing to the skin and should be used for
collars and cuffs. Dress gowns are
quantity charming on an aged dame, ii
cut with a wide V-shaped neck and
i filled in with fichu folds of crepe lisse.

man of your position and wealth should
surely marry"
John read it again and again; the more
he read it, the more queer it appeared
to him. True, he had reached a position
IN business that was most satisfactory;
wealth he possessed beyond a doubts
was healthy, belonged to a fashionable
club, was regular "first-nighter' and
enjoyed an occasional toddy with few
chosen friends.
But, marry!
''Bosh, all COMPOUNDED bosh! Hates

steady, Hates only thirty, and quite a
\ superb-looking woman at that. She's a
brunette, l believe, and they weather
advancing age best, It's said. l marry.
Nonsense! It's all rubbish! l hate all
things pertaining to women-al but
jolly old Kate. She's clever woman.
Bright follow I'm tired Of sd clubs and
such; wish Kate would marry. O, I'd
like to have a lot of little nephews and
nieces climbing all over me and fishing
through my pockets for pennies. But
Hates too old, or at least l suppose she
thinks so. Humph. I'm old, too. Five
years older than she. l marry! Non.
sense. Can't think of such step at my
time of life"
John was unconsciously thinking
aloud, and his confidential clerk had
raped three times before he heard him.
Pushing the letter underneath news
paper he said: "Come in"
''The party up in Albany sends let,
ter inquiring about that last lot of hose.
1t seems"
"Sit down, Jackson; sit down and
listen to me for a moment" broke in
John.
Jackson was puzzled. Business be-
fore all other things had always been
Johns motto. Now it seems it is all
something else.
'I'm called good business man, eh,
Jackson?"
I'm glad to say so, Mr.. Warner" re-
piled Jackson.
Never stopped the whirl of business
for sentiment, Ell, Jackson"
Il should hope not"
quite correct, Jackson, quite correct.
Did you ever meet ny sister Kate?"

"Old age?"
Eyes; she's thirty. Jackson, Kate
advises me to marry. Don't be alarmed
that for moment seriously consider
such a nonsensical idea. However, now
for the business which l detained you
for. Kate's coming to pay me visit;
going to bring along the country parsons

busy to meet her at the train. Jackson,

Warner turned his revolving chair to
the desk, and Jackson left, only to enter
again.
What train did you say?" he asked.
"First freight in the morning"
81 mean what train did you expect
the ladies to come on?"
BE at the Union depot at 4:30-"
''But might not know"
Kate always wears red, very red and
very bright. Brunette and stylish. Oh,
never fear; you'll be sure to know Kate
The door closed and Warner was once
more alone.
"lll be hanged if l will marry. Can't
force us into any such trap as that.
Hates fool"
John said other harsh things about his
clever sister Kate, things not necessary
to speak Of here; all the while he felt
like poor, lonely man about to be am
pushed and led to the slaughter by
smart women.
He hurried out for a lunch, rushed
himself among his papers, books, re-
ports, and the many things that busy a
man who attends in person to his bust
ness affairs. The light was struck in
his office, the clerks separated, and the
night-watchman entered, still John
Warner remained, thinking, thinking,
thinking.
1t was queer life he led Business,
all business; push from dawn till dark,
with but few moments of respite from
labor. Little time for pleasure-only his
"first nights" his short stop at the club
for an occasional chat with few chosen
| friends.
| The door opened and Jackson entered,
looking ten years younger
81 never met a more charming woman
in all my life. Mr.. Warner, l envy you
your visitors. She's the most regal
creature"
"Bosh! Jackson, when man begins
to call woman a regal creature he
shows evident signs of mania. They're
all alike, Jackson, every one of them.
They all want to trap, trap, trap. And
what? Men, nothing but men. Go
home, Jackson, and sleep it off. You
poor old fossil you. You envy me my
visitors? l look upon it as something
fearful TO have a woman fussing about" "
"But this woman"
81 tell you, Jackson, they're all alike
Well, I'm going home. Suppose I'll be
in torrents until Kate goes back. Go
ing, too? tell you, jackson, it'll never
do, never, sir. Never let a rattle
Drained woman break into ones business
affairs is my motto. Here's your car.
You go down while l go up. Good
night"
Fifteen minutes later John Warner
was warmly greeted by beautiful
woman-his sister Kate.
Kate, for heavens sake don't choke
me to death. I'm glad to see you, and
Then he stopped as his eyes fell upon
the other occupant of the room. She
was petite blonde, and had dimpling
cheeks, lovely eyes, and a shy, reticent
air that was innocence and simplicity
itself.
Sometimes love takes years to spring
into existence, but John Warner, the
plain man of business, was enmeshed in

1t is said there are now more
trout in Bonner Lake than ever
before since it was first seen by
white men. This is because of
the many hundreds Of thousands
of small fry turned loose in the
lake at various times. The Cal
ifornians are already busy at fish
Matching at Lake Tahoe and other
places in the mountains. At Sis
sons and other points they have
millions OF young trout and sal
mon. Our people are also doing
their part towards stocking the

Queen Victoria has just had a
picture completed by Lockhart,
which contains 3S7 portraits and
represents three years OF labor,
The completion of the work in

on the Continent in order, to OBJ
tain likenesses, and also compel
ed the artist to hire a town house,
In which to obtain sittings from
members Of the royal family and
other personages whose portraits
could not be otherwise procured.
The total expence to Lockhart
has been many thousands Of
pounds, to say nothing of his COM
pulsory rejection OF other work
while engaged on this commission,
yet the Queen has ordered pay
ment to him OF the paltry sum Of
$4,000 in full settlement Of all OBJ
legations. For the sake OF appear

person will see to it that the pain

A MODERN AJAX

Someone ought to send to
Kemmler, the convicted New
York murderer, a picture Of Ajax
defying the lightning. Long ago
he was sentenced to be killed by a
bolt OF electricity. There seems
to be plenty of the Ajax in him or
his lawyers, for so far he has sue
cessfully defied the tightening.
We do not believe 1t is a good
way to execute prisoners anyway.
On general principles we do not
believe in capital punishment. but
IL it Is to be done, there Is no oc-
casion to add to its horrors. Sitting
victim, on a chair putting one
pole Of battery to his feet and
attaching another to a helmet on
bis head and voting him to death
Is more terrible, if possible, than
any hanging. 1t would be better
to take the person out for a walk
and seat him in a chair that was
placed on a cage, then drop
the cage into a tank OF carbonic
acid gas, leave the gentleman
there about three minutes, then
hoist the cage and he would be all
ready for the undertaker.-Salt

Days were born to US in smiles
In the long ago;
Smiles that Tuned the temples aisles
OF sweet long ago.
When, to liYes and loves, were strung
Dreams to which we fondly clung
In those days when VIC were young
In that long ago.
So, sires Of remoter past,
Ola far ago,
Sires of other shadows past
Since that long ago,
Had fo- them times life pearls strung,
When to them hope fondly sung
In the days when they were young
In that far ago.
Days have dawned for all in tears
Since that long ago;
Tears for joys gone with those years
Of the long ago.
Yet shades from that cherished past,
Still their twining mantles cast
Of heart memories that last
From that long ago,
Soon Times ever changing state
Will, in long ago."
Shroud up and our ended age,
Leave our loved to know,
Then for them that past Will be
But heartfelt memory,
Bridging the eternity

No one DOUBTS that Dr.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy really cures Ca
taTrh, whether the disease be recent
or of long standi0g, because the

with a $500 guarantee, which isn't q
mere newspaper guarantee, but "on
call" in a moment, That moment Is
when you prove that its makers can't
cure you. The reason for their faith
is this: DR.. Sage's remedy has prov
ed itself the right cure for ninety
nine out of one hundred cases of Ca

afford to take the risk Of yoQ being
