FOR THE LADIES.
TENDENCY IN DRESS FASHIONS.

There is a decided tendency towards
second skirts, and slight skirt draperies,
knife pleatings, long kilt pleatings,
ruches, draped founces, and narrow
frills still appear on many of the newest
and handsomest gowns, but on other
models there appears a very faring
skirt, extremely full in the back, plain
around the bottom. and.yith three frills
set on as waist trimming, and 10 this
simple skirt is invariably added much
decorated bodice and full-frilled sleeves.

II commenced using Brandreth's Pills
over ffty-fve years ago. I first bought
them in London, and have continued
using them since I came to this country
in 1886. am now over rs years old,
hale and hearty, and attribute my wonder
full health to the persistent use of Bran
dreth's Pills. Occasionally have a bad
cold or severe attack Of rheumatism, in
digestion or biliousness, but four or five
doses of Brandreth's Pills always cure me.
Whenever my children have been sick
with scarlet fever, measles, acid stomach,
disordered digestion or costiveness, few
doses of Brandreth's Pills restored their
health at once"

Gifts they sent her manifold,
Diamonds, and pearls, and gold,
One there was among the throng
Had not Midas touch at need;
He against sylvan reed
Set his lips and breathed song.
Bid bright Flora, as she comes,
Snatch spray of orange blooms
For maiden's hair.
Let the hours their aprons fill
With mignonette and daffodil,
And all that's fair.
For her bosom fetch the rose
That is rarest-
Not that either these or those
Could by any happening be
Ornaments to such as she;
They'll but show when she is dressed
She is fairer than the fairest
And out-betters what is best.
