eented in illustration No. 4 10 blue
cripilli de aoie laid in plaits, with in
sertions of pale blue embroidery on
satin; draped belt and collar of bluet
satin two shoulder ruffies with border
Of embroidery falling over sleeves which
ere large puffs of the pale blue satin tied
with rosette ct the elbow.
Almost endless are the styles OF separ-
ate waists which have been devised to
lend variety to day and evening toilettes.
Many OF the evening waists are wholly
or partly of transparent materials, as
those in the group illustrated. One
model shown is OF light green moire
gauze in bayadere stripes. 1t is mounted
quite full, and has very ample sleeves,
which are draped. The garniture ia
deep vandyked lace collar which fsatens
at the back. A very dainty blouse is OF
white mousseline de sole mounted over
yellow silk. The neck is ehcircled by
shirred puffs, terminating in ruffle
embroidered in mauve and yellow. The
part below the yoke is mounted very
full and the blouse is fastened at the
back. The dropping thr, quarter
sleeves terminate in ruffis mined
with yellow ribbon rosette, and other
rosettes stud the full collar. A third
waist shown is of yellow chiffon over
satin. 1t has an open square neck. At
the middle OF the front and back is
full plastron with crossrows OF shirring,
and narrow black lace beading between
the puffu formed. Deep double bretelle
ruffles frame the plsetron, meeting in
point at the waist. The halt-long
sleeves droop over the elbow.
Waists in great variety as to cut are
also displayed and they are made short
or long, seant or full as the fgurs OF the
wearer requires, and of silks as well as
cloths. The round waist fourishes yet
in great glory, and it is really the ehape

end for the beautiful evening dreeaes for
debutantes, butthere are SO many waisis'
with short points, postillion and coat
backs and basque effects for those who
are inclined to stoutness.
The plan of joining glove fitting
bodice to closely gored foundation
skirt and then erranging slight drap-
cry above this (the draperv hiding en-
tirely the joining OF skirt and bodice) is
still very favorite style of dress with
women Of ample figure. and is adhered
to in day as we'll as evening toilets, and
in fabrics both light and heavy. The
results are always most satisfactory and
the style of the skirt draperies may be
greatly varied. The foundation skirt is
made 70 fit the figure ss closely and
smoothly as possible.

For the dancing dreases of young
women guests at house party a full
skirt of white silk or satin will serve as
the foundation of various toilettes. A
girl returning from Paris brought four
waists to wear with single white satin
skirt. One of these was OF pink chiffon.
another of miroir velvet of palest tur.
quoise blue, a third of chine silk in
which Nile green prevailed, and fourth
entirely of white chiffon. All OF these
except the latter were high in the neck,
with three -quarter sleeves.
For evening wear the new silk gauze
with satin stripe of different shades, is
seen very much, and is called ''gsze
Fedora" Then there is the inevitab BILE

clinging around the hips.
Several collar and belt arrangement
are illustrated. which serve to give a
dressy touch to an otherwise sim pie
bodice. In one example shown the col
lar is OF eeuze OF becoming shade, and
the belt of velvet to match the goods OF
the waist. Each is studded with two
rosettes of velvet ribbon to match the
belt, with at the center OF each rosette

A NO-TO-BAC MIRACLE

An oid-Tlmer OF Twenty-three Years

LAKE GENEVA, Wis, May 7.-Spe-
cial The ladies of our beautiful little
town are making an interesting ana
exciting time for tobacco using hus'
bands, since the injurious effects OF
tobacco and the ease with which 1t can
be cured By a preparation called No
To- Bac have been so plainly demon
strated by the cure of Mr. f. c. Waite.
In a written statement he says: Il
smoked and chewed tobacco for
twenty-three years, and am sure that
my case was one of the worst in this
part Of the country Even after went

only killing me, but my wife was also
ailing from the injurious effects Two
boxes of No-To- BAG cured me, and ]

days my wife is we'll, and we are in
deed both happy TO say that No-To-
Bac is truly worth its weight in gold

The cure and improvement in Mr.
Waite's case is looked upon az mira
cle-in fact, it is the talk OF the town
and county, and it is estimated that
over thousand tobacco users will be
