Fashion Notes


Mems cravats Of bright cardinal,
polka dotted with black, are new.
House gowns OF Henrietta, wool
en- crepe or cashmere are made up
with brocade
For evening wear, skirts just clear
the floor, or have slight demi-train
at the back.
Red cloth Jackets trimmed with
astrakhan or black braids are Lon
don fashion.
In fancy stationery a pale blue
paper is shown, with vague de-
sign OF small swallows In deeper
shade fitting over it.
Large hats, although picturesque
and becoming to fresh youthful
faces, are not as becoming when
worn by those appr oaching middle
age.
The engagement bangle or BRACE
let is pair of bangles connected
with an invisible and secret spring
and studded with balls of gold, set
with jewels.
Vest Innings still remain popular,
and no longer considered fads. They
set of mans neckwear to q very
good effect, and some men put in q
black silk lining (made to order) be-
tween the edge of the white vest and
a white tie. The combination is
very pretty.
The most popular material for q
black house dress is silk and wool
mohair, which is called chrystallette.
These goods are lustrous and SER
viceable, as they do not gather dust
like Atwood goods. They drape
well and are universally becoming.
Gold and silver pointed lace, jew
eled, IS one of the newest Trimmings
and is set with all the imitation
gems. A beautiful new evening fab
ric is of black Brussels net, strewn
with design of double clover leaves,
carried out in gold set with large
milliners' rubies and sapphires.
The neck Of new evening gowns is
very modestly low, and is more often
cut round and square than pointed.
Sleeves of tulle gowns are worn
pufftd to the wrists, and the gloves
have but one button. LIE Henri
Deux bodice, with puffs on the hips
and high frills on the shoulder.
White is the approved choice for
evening gloves, and they are worn
smooth on the arm, barely reaching
the elbow.

Turpentiue's Many U.e..

Turpentine is an article so widely
used in the arts and so easily obtain
ed that it's virtues as a domestic
remedy haye, in great measure,
been overlooked, says the Boston
GloJe.
In the early stages of Group or al
most any throat or chest trouble il
is well nigh a specific. Rub the
chest and throat until the skin 10
red, then tie piece of flannel or
cotton batting over the chest mois.
tened with little oil, and inhale
the vapor. By rubbing on sweet
oil irritation of the skin may be
avoided.
For burns it is invaluable, applied
either with rag or in salve. The
pain vanishes, and healthy granula-
ton soon begins. Its use is first at
tended with considerable smarting,
but the permanent good more than
compensates for it.
Turpentine, in which is Dissolved
as much camphor as it will take up,
is pre-eminently the dressing for lac
GRAFTON, bruises and cuts. It's antic-
ipated action is equal to that Of car
bolic acid, it speedily stops the
bleeding. (Hunter says: at is the
best, if not only the true stypic," a.
lays the pain and hastens the pro-
cess of healing. Few, If any ulcers,
long resist its continued application
AS q liniment turpentine, with
equal parts of laudanum, camphor,
and choloform, is unsurpassed.
Sprains, rheumatic pains, bruises,
and sometimes even neuralgia, yield
TO its magic influence.
AS an inhalation turpentine has
proven of great service in bronchitis,
pneumonia, pleurisy and ether throat
and lung troubles. If you have a
cough sprinkle little on handker-
chief and hold to yopr mouth and
nose for few minutes, breathing
the vapor, and note the relief.
Internally turpentine has enjoyed
for century the reputation Of be-
ing specific for sciatica. Its mode
of operation is unknown, but that 1t
cures stands as proof Of its virtue.
Ten drops three times doy in
sweetened water is the dose.
AS a remedy Of the baue Of child
hood, worms, 1t is well known. A
teaspoonful given in half glass OF
sweetened milk, followed in an hour
or two by full desc OF castor oil,
seldom fails. The practice of our
grand mother in giving it to us on
sugar for coughs and sore throat
was based on common sense.
A bath in a half pint OF turpentine
and two pounds OF sal soda in an or
binary bath tub, quarters full
of water, at 1909 Fahrenheit, will
cure the itch when other remedies
fail. Three or four baths, one daily
are usually sufficient.
Cotton soaked in olive oil and
turpentine and put in the ear often
stops earache of the most painful
kind.
In the hands of the physician tur-
pentine is OF great value in typhoid
fever, and of late is used in yellow
fever with great success
And last it is a sure antidote for
PHOSPHORUS, such as children often
swallow when they lunch on match
heads. Five or ten drops Aoated on
water should be gwen every hour
till the danger is past. No oily or
muciIagious substances should be
taken. If the stomach is unable
to retain it, it may be given as an
enema in double the quantity.
Keep turpentine in your house
