Dyspepsia The Chief Cause OF
Consumption.
FACTS WITH WHICH FEW u T.

Dyspepsia or ordinary indigestion - sci
dom regarded rs a dangerous disease, Yet
doctors now realize that any disturbance of
the digestive function is but a stepping
stone to the most dangerous and fatal OF all
dseases-dread consumption.
This apDears very clear when we consider
that consumption, as the name implies, Is
but a consuming of the body's substance.
Weakness and emaciation naturally result.
That part of a person which does not prop
erlv digest food undergoes wasting, and you
may safely assume that every pale, thin
person of yuor acquaintance is not proper

words, the substance of the body is being
consumed and when the cough puts in an
appearance they will be regarded as COM
sumptives.
The symptoms of consumption and those
arising from certain forms of Indigestion
are practically identical. Therefore ~

be affected. First try to repair your
stomach and put il in order This is best
done by very harmless though very imge-
nious remedy-the shaker Digestive Cor

This product, prepared by the shakers of

almost certain to effect a cure All drug

TIE DINNER HOUR ABROAD.
To Dine Late Is Wholly English-Si1
O'Clock Is the Continental Hour

The English stand alone rs to the lato-
ness of the hour at which they dine, and
foreigners can hardly understand this
preference given fer so late an hour for
eating the chief meal of the day. The
queen sets tho e, Implo by dining at 9
o'clock; the loading nobility follow it by
lining at $50, Eight o'clock, however,
S the very general hou: IL London society
at which to dine, and very fow people with
any claim TO be considered fashionable dine
earlier except those who wish to adhere to
tho early hours of their younger days ana
insist upon dining at 7:30. At continent
oil courts, on tho contrary, the fashionable
dinner hour is not later than and at
some courts earlier in tho summer months.
Society dimes at tie same hour, and all
things considered, weighing advantages
against disadvantages, foreign society is
certainly the gamer by the adoption of an
earlier dinner hour The o'clock dinner
hour enables society to take life more
quietly. Dinner can DO eaten leisurcly
and theators leisurely attended, and balls
and receptions do not make an immediate
claim upon the after dinner hour. Plenty
of breathing time is allowed.

Table Hints.

The following hints are given concern
Ing certain points in table etiquette by
Tho Ladies' Home journal:
Grape seeds are removed from the mouth
with tho fingers. On leaving the table, the
guest for ono meal only does not fold her
napkin, but leaves it just beside her plate
The coffee spoon is only used occasionally
to stir tho coffee; the coffee should be TAX
en- direct from the cup. Jelly is usually
eaten in connection with game, and o
small quantity of it is taken On tho plate
beside the meat. In eating chicken it Is
not necessary to take the bone in tho fin
gers, although it is permitted with very
small birds. 1t is proper to eat from the
side of spoon. A banana is eaten from
the hand, the skin being almost entirely
stripped off. Fruit knives are used for re-
moving the peel from peaches or apples.

time and the dressmakers must assist In
deciding.
One new feature in lovely French gowns
is short skirts severely stiffened and formed
into three narrow plaits instead OF gathers
at the back.
Blouses are seen by hundreds. All are
tight fitting; there is nothing loose or Hop
DIV, and most of them are of silk or velvet.
Chine silks are much used for bodlces, ana
also for parasols, and are lovely for both
The colors and the designs are pretty, dell
cate as paintings on china and equally
lovely in view.
Sleeves are huge. One is vaguely certain
that yards and yards of material are alb
sorbed in every pair which meets ones eye.
They have but little lining or stiffening,
only quantities of stuff to make them the
big balloons that fashion DEGREES ones
arms should be engulfed in.
Hats are perambulating flower gardens.
Never has such profusion of flowers been
worn, and never has such a confusion OF
colors been massed together on a single fe-
male hat.
Although Paris dressmakers arranged a
clever attack with their charming confec-

gown, the latter presents SO many substan-
tial merits that its popularity wanes not,
and, whether simple or elaborate, in skill
full hands it gives its wearer n certain style

makers dress.
Besides the ever favored coat and skirt
there are attractive new tailor gowns with
n close fitting bodice, displaying shirt
front of checked silk, finished at the neck
with small rundown collar of lawn and
lace and cuffs of the same.
Collars and cuffs of various fanciful de-
tails, by the way, are to have certain
vogue this season, it is said.
All skirts flare at the bottom and are cut
very narrow at the top, but later on, when
very light materials are used, they are like
ly to be gathered ga lapaysaune, and the
popular width will probably be about five
yards at the bottom.
The cut shows one of the many stylish
novelties in capes. This is of black satin,
sequin embroidered, with mousquetaire
revcrs, handsome ornamental buttons, etc
The hat is of green straw and violet ribbon
in two shades making q large bow across
the top.

The Decline Of the Sleeve.

The sleeve is declining, which is far from
saying that it is any less an important and
imposing feature of the costume than here
tofore. On the contrary, it requires more
material and receives if possible, more at
tention from the modistes. No gown is Il
success which does not achieve something
decidedly "chic" in its sleeves.
1t is merely intended to remark that the
newest sleeves droop more and more toward
the elbow and are not raised at all above
the shoulder. The cut of the latest NUT
ton leg sleeve for day dresses is very wide
above the elbow and quite close below it,
the effect being that of great puff, some
times caught down in the center.
Sleeves for evening gowns take on many
charming forms. Usually they leave the

The Engagement Ring.

There is no positive rule in regard to the
giving of the engagement ring. A young
girl may be engaged two or three months
without either receiving or wearing her
engagement ring. There would be no i'm
propriety in a man asking his fiancee what
kind Of ring she would like. Usually
tho engagement ring has precious stone
Of some sort set in it. When money is no
object and the lady has not decided pref
erence for some other gem, the conven-
tional ring is fine solitaire diamond.
