with teasing the girls, but one young man
seized Miss Dwight, and, believing he really
had burglar beat her almost to death. She

HER ELEGANT CAPE.
NOV ONE WOMAN MADE A SAYING
OF $3.50.

Hints FOR Those Who Like to Dress Well
No Need OF Looking Shabby, Even
Though Times Are Hard-The Secret
Told by One who Knows.
Those fashionable capes with triple col
lar are looked at with longing eyes by
many woman. But times are hard, and
economy is both virtue and necessity.
One woman solved the problem most sat-
isfactorily by coloring her old drab circular
a rich, handsome brown with a package of
diamond dyes, thus actually getting a ten
dollar cape for ten cents.
The druggists report a greatly increased
sale for diamond dyes this fall, and say
they have completely superseded the old
fashioned methods with logwood, fustic
indigo, etc. On each envelope is printed
full directions, so plain and explicit that any
one can use these dyes with perfect success.
For nearly score of years diamond dyes
have been helping women to dress well at
small expense, and it is natural that their
great success should have brought many
short-lived limitations upon the market.
These would claim to make fast colors, but
the light fades them; they adulterated their
dye TO make the package look large, but
actual use proved they could color less than
half as much as the diamond; and Offering
large profit, they secured agents or ped
dlers to sell them, but woman never
bought them a second time.
Diamond dyes come in nearly fifty colors,
specially prepared for wool, silk, and cot
ton, ten cent package coloring from one
to ten pounds of goods No other dyes are
30 strong, nothing else so simple, and none
so fast and true in color No woman can
afford to risk her goods with limitations, es.
pecially when the original diamond dyes
are admittedly far superior.
