sorts of little fancy things can be picked

But maybe you are not bargain hunter,

cheap. in the hope that they will come in
good some time.
Winter ha are 70 be worn way into the
lap Of spring-so we are told, but do not
believe II, unless you are willing to set the
style yourself by wearing your fur toqne
when the spring sunshine is pouring down
upon your head.
LIZ is all very well to talk about wearing
the seasons fashions until late IN the
year. But it is an entirely different thing
TO do so. People are very fond OF novel;
ties and they are anxious TO change from
the old to the new. They like TO get out
OF the winter into the spring, and then
they are anxious TO change 10 midsummer
styles. In the summer they long for the
betoming furs which designate the tall and
autumn fashions. and then the same old
story begins again. and people are the
same all the world over.
The newest STYLES of hair-dressing are
little less elaborate than they were in the
winter, and they are so easy 10 do at home
that the hairdressers are quite discouraged.

She took course of lectures in the simple art of

And she studied up on fabric. from scien-

She bought dozen bonnets just to learn the art
OF shaping,
And her nusbsnd carried bundles till his arms
were out of joint
She got up conversations on aesthetic combina-

That would harmonic exactly with the COM

And she grew So Interested that the house fell
short on rations.
And her husband went to business On a feeble
hunk of pie.
She studied up anatomy to get the proper atti-

And took course OF Delsarte to perfec, her

And while she wss thus occupied her husband
searched the attitudes.
With eye5alls full OF soapsuds, for towel for

She bought whole tons of ribbons and a mile or

But no earthly power could stop her. so her

Dear Sir: | would have written to YOU

awhile and see if there would be any re-
lapse. 1t has been six months since I
stopped your treatment, and. as there has
been no return of former symptoms, am
assured that my cure IS complete. l can
eat kinds of food now that | have not
been able to eat for fifteen years, and do
not remember that my bowels were ever
so regular. / am indeed a thousand times
obliged to you for what you have done for
me. We have used your medicines in our
family several times for acute cases and
always with the best results. l am fully
satisfied that you can cure anything that
can be cured. | shall always be pleased
to recommend your treatment to others,
for to you and your remedies l owe more
than l can ever express. pray God that
you may live many years to benefit others
as you have me. Please accept the graft
tude of an overlooking heart.

bows at the back. Among Mrs. Harrison's
new gowns, which she will bring out later
IN the season, is one of sage-green brocade
with vest ofrose-pink embroidered crepe,
and another of Mrs. McKee's is a steel
gray silk. the waist of which has a tsblier
effect of Irish point.
Mrs. WIlmerding. the widowed daughter
OF the secretary of the navy, appeared on
New Years for the first time at a public
reception since the sad tragedy which a
year since visited the home of Secretary
Tracy and within few moments laid in
ruins not only his hearthstone. but de-
priyed him of his wife and daughter at
one fell blow. Though sadly broken by
the terrible trial. Mrs. Wilmerding
has brayely sfnothered her own grief
and for the sake of her father and child
again assumed the obligations of her
position. Her appearance among the
ladies of the cabinet at the White House
was source of sincere pleasure to all, not
one of whom but fully appreciated the
self-sacrihce of the brave effort. This
made Mrs. Nilmerding's gown Of white
point de sole, trimmed with simple rutfies
Of chiffon, though bespeaking the mourn

sorrow in the eyes of the world.

each an inch wide and are placed both to-
gether, and then there is a broad band of
the plain, soft. delicate gray.
These striped goods are best left I'M

pretty patterns, and the palmer they are
made the more becoming they are. Bias
bands. ruifies and tucks seldom look well
upon striped goods. and the material should
be put together in fashionable way and
left unadorned unless one choose to trim
it with lace and ribbons.
Striped goods are not economical to
make up. The stripes must be nicely
matched in the waist, and this often causes
the material to be cut TO poor advantage.
But then the goods are so pretty that one
can afford To waste an extra yard in the
cutting. For those who are afflicted with
too much avoirdupois there can nearly
always be found the plain goods of the
same shade as the ground work of the
materials, and this viii do for waist
which may then have lapels, collar and
cuffs OF the other.
If you are a bargain hunter. you are
taking great delight now in the reductions
in the winter goods. countertui of
WOODEN material of a very good quality
was ticketed with a card which read, Re
duced 10 ave cents a yard"
The material was of course thin, and per-
haps tribe on the order of what the old
ladies' call "sieezy," but il was as good as
that which sells for p cents yard in the
