Consumption Curative,

Since the fact that consumption is both

lung. scrofua. Like many other diseases
this formidable one grows out of impure
blood, and this, in turn, from diseased liy-

pains in chest, the inflamed lungs, and all
the symptoms of fastening consumption, all

The history of the Metropolitan Opera
house is not long enc, but may Justly
be considered brilliant. The house was
opened in October. 1853, and has always
been conducted on the basis that high

happy she is, as she takes the bill to her
over-burdened father, to be able to tell
him, 81 made it all my own self, only

Her half grown sister wears pretty

ton when nothing looks well long. Her
hair is tied only in the neck, leaving the
ends to flow free in loose mass of curls
in the back.
There was yard and some scraps left
of sisters dress, and this was made into
cunning Gretchen guimpe for little g.
year-old. The waist at the top is fin
tshed with a little neat embroidery in
cross stitch, done by the deft big sister,
and a bit of ribbon tied at the shoulders
forms sleeves enough over the white
surah guimpe. Just little bit Of goods
and very little labor, and you have as

Among the English and a great many
French and some few Americans there
is fancy for short stockings. and they
certainly do look pretty, particularly for
little boys, but it is not a safe fashion to
follow in this variable climate, and
children should not be allowed to wear
short stockings after 4 years of age. For
those who like them there are this sea-
son pretty little stockings, Of which half
Is in dark narrow stripes, with the other
half flesh colored. The newest hosiery,
however, Is in tartan plaids to match
the new plaid goods now so popular, but

stocking is so refined in appearance as
the black one. These are now shown in
very thick and close weave in plain and
fancy ribs, with the knees and heels
quadrupled in thickness.
A pretty little gown for a girl of s or
