Catarrh

expelled from the system, there can
be no cure for this loathsome and
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment is thorough course
of Ayers Sarsaparilla = the best of all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
the better delay is dangerous.

A YACHTING GOWN.

It is made of cream-colored Isle of
Wight serge. with bars of darkest crin-
son braid running up from the foot OF
the skirt. The collar, yoke and sleeves
are trimmed to correspond; while below
the bust lire the waist is gathered in a
way becoming to slender figures, and is
finished with soft, folded sash of
crimson wash silk, with anchors en-
broidered in cream color, just above the
fringed ends. The straw sailor hat
has crimson band with the name
of the yacht painted on it in
cream, picked out with gold.
But the most unique feature of this cos
tune is the Redfern sleeveless jacket,
invented at the branch house at COwes,
the center of the yachting world. In
this model it may be of cream, or of
deepest crimson Serge-preferably the
latter. 1t is most desirable garment,
Offering sufficient warmth for those
portions which need some protection,
yet in no way hampering the arms.
Some contrast here, is there not, be-
tween this neat, comfortable, stylish
costume and the dowdy, characterlesS
flannel and serge makeshift dresses
which was all femininity knew of for
yachting purposes until Redfern took
the matter in hand and set himself to
devise something which should in every
way meet The eXigencIeS of the caSep
That he has succeeded perfectly no one
can deny who looks upon such model
as the foregoing.
The maid or matron who is the lucky
posseSsor of such seagOing rig will of
course desire to be equally distingue in
visiting or walking attire. And here is
Just the gown to produce that effect.

The eternal servant question cropping
up in recent conversation with this

educated women of the upper classes as
servants had answered. sit has been

"aud my servants are now always ladies'.

girl, who is the daughter of me- ical
man, and all of whose male relations
are professional men, and who does her
work as thoroughly and as we'll as any
ordinary servant could be expected to

ant to do mental work?" ''NOt in the

that it can succeed), they will know
that mental work does not lower them.
Of course, try to avoid giving them So
called dirty work as much as possible.
For instance, backing CRATES is
very unpleasant work, and very
ungrateful work, too. for the
result is never lasting and never
particularly effective. there,
fore have only CRATES decorated
with tiles as much as possible, and with
the smallest part of iron work requiring
backing. Again, in order to avoid
scrubbing, l have the floors covered
with material which only requires
wiping. A great many arrangements
can be made in this way to make house
work less hard and unpleasant, and If
we, the mistresseS. would only spend q
little more thought on these matters, l
am sure there would be fewer com
plants from and about servants.
''At the same time" the lady went
on, 81 always insist on my servants full
filling every duty they have undertaken
to perform. If they engage to black
nv boots they have to do it, and do ii
regularly and well. But this does not
prevent ME from having them in my
drawing room after dinner and playing
game of whist or any other game with
them. Their lives are even under the
most favorable circumstances rather
monotonous, and where we can put
little color and brightness into them, !

"Then do they take their meals with
you, too?" mo, as rule find tina,
they prefer to take their meals together
separately, and as they have to cook
and serve the meals this is more con-
venient arrangement. But otherwise

We went to the Private View at the
Institute on Saturday, and found rather
a smart crowd there. admired black
clock redingote with three fiat shoulder
cappS, the fronts opening over graceful
folds of white surah. A three-cornered
black hat trimmed with ostrich feathers
completed a tasteful reproduction of the
riding-dress of the last century. Some
very big checks were ''eye-ODeners."
One girl, however, looked very

sleeves, but then her figure was
very erect and pretty. Two tall
and handsome sisters, with beautiful
hair. were much admired in becoming

There seems to be a sort of idea abroad

a bunch of violets and fastening them in
the front of her coat in an unpremedi-

what gown or bonnet she had on. but |
cannot comprehend any woman deliber-

fore a looking-glass that reflects back a
blue or crimson gown. And who ever
heard of woman putting on her bonnet
without looking in the glass!

is too short to spare even the
stormy days.
The true birds of the air always fly
with their own wings.
A shadow is always darker and larger
than the figure that makes it.
Flattery is but the condoling of our
failures rather than true estimate of
our merits.
In accordance with the ancient pro-
verb. he who would accumulate must
spend also.
We might take lessons from child
hood in that enviable art of being east
ly made happy.
If it be true that truth is stranger
than felton," how exceedingly queer it
must be sometimes.
Force may compel compliance for the
time being, but gentleneSs and affec-
ton endure and reign continually.
The one deserving the greatest COM
mendation Is that one whose thoughts
and endeavors are given to others.
One who has wronged another with
malice prepense seems to find it diff
cult ever to show him due regard
again.

days, have gathered up my. dress be-
hind. only to have that petticoat hang
out behind in the mud and rain. When

only around one leg at time, and
thus leaves me one leg always free to

variety of type and more originality
than are to be fnund anywhere else in
the world.
To an artist the finest of all profiles
is the Greek. The celebrated Psyche
in the museum at Naples is one of the
perfect examples existing in Greek art.
In some respects it is superior to
the Venus de Milo OF de Medici;
it has more dignity. and its
chief characteristic is the continue
ton of one direct line from the
forehead down the nose without varia-
ton of the angle. The accent at the
end of the nose is not a curve, but two
planes that more nearly approximate
angles. The curve would be indicative
of the Oriental race, which is not as;
highly bred as the Greek. In Greek
sculpture the mouth is little open.
The best examples Invariably indicate
the lips a little apart. The chin is!
heavy, as rule, and the eye is rather
deep-set. l mention these points in

cite, is i'll town now taking thorough
course of massage for the face, in order
to learn how to give the treatment to
mistress. 1t is really extraordinary
how the face massage fad is spreading.
Ladies go now to have the muscles OF
their cheeks pinked, rubbed and
kneaded quite as much as those OF the
body.
There is good bit of sense in the
idea. Instead of plastering the face
wife powders and balms and blooms,
the fashionable dame has a thorough
course of massage, which strengthens
the muscles and brings back the tinge
of health to the face. Then, certain
perfumed oils, creams and lotions are
well kneaded in to render the skin
plant ann flexible. Madame goes from
the experienced hands of the specialist
looking like rose.

two styles most prevalent for everyday
wear are the full graceful coil of braids,
which covers the back of the head from
the crown to the name of the neck. and
the long English chatelaine of
braids which hangs low at the
back of the neck. The
front hair is generally dressed in a very
slight, light bang, curved up little at
the sides, and curl is sometimes care
lessly arranged in the center, where the
face will bear it. In the evening the
hair is worn very high, in full loops in

the drapery. The greatest danger in
the new dress arises from the tendency
of silk to cling and the excess of dra-

A lady gives the Tribune an amusing
description of being wound up in her
skirt while crossing the footpath of the
Brooklyn bridge. There was a stiff
breeze blowing, and she suddenly found
herself entangled in her winding skirts.
Every effort she made to walk added to
her embarrassment. She finally settled
down to the belief that she would have
to wait till the breeze Gained, but after
long struggle she reached land with
crimson cheeks and a conviction that

girl did not wake up until late. and
then, in trying to get to the kitchen
window IN the dark, she upset some
water OH the kindIing wood; it was the
water the mackerel was soaking I'D,
and it was on chair. and the wood was
under it, and then, because the WOOD
was wet. the fire wouldn't burn. and
the other wood we ordered the day be-
fore hadn't come, and the neighb0r IN
the next fiat hadn't any either. and the
girl hal to 90 to the store for some, and
she was a good while getting there. and
then the St0rekeeDer told her she
needn't bring it. cause he would send
it around before she got back, and
cause she didn't know him she be
flieved him, and when she got back the
wood wasn't there, and 1t was long
time before it came, and then 1t was all
wet from the fog and rain. cause
he didn't cover it up. and
when we tried to start the hre
again it wouldn't burn any better than
the first time. and then nanny hurried
down to our kind neighb0r in the next
fiat to get the use of her stove, but they
were getting their breakfast and we
could only use one hole at time. and
our kettles and pans wouldn't fit their
stove. and we had to wait till some OF
theirs was cleaned, and then mamma
tried to cook some oatmeal so | could
hurry and get to school. and then the
baker didn't come and the girl had
to go. out for bread while |
dressed Sally and Johnny and
Mamie. and then the baby woke
and began to cry hard as if he was
hurt, and mamma hurried up stairs to
see what was the matter, and. while she
was finding out. the oatmeal burned,
and we had to wait until the kettle
could be cleaned and some more cooked.
and when that was done | hurried and
ate little so l wouldn't be late to
school, and had just time to get here.

and had to wait until mamma could
