To the World of Women.

Weak, nervous delicate, overworked
women need a strength builder, a tonic
for their nerves, and a cure for that aw-
full internal trouble that is wearing out
their lives. Thousands of women have
found such in DR.. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy. Mrs. Christiana Beal, of jones'
port, Me-, writes that her daughter had
been a great sufferer from female trouble,
and after repeated trials OF doctors pre-
scriptions and other so-called cures, all
of which gave no relief, she used Favor
lite Remedy and it permanently cured
her.
Ifyou have headache, uterine catarrh,
irregular menstruation, leucorrhea or
irregular monthly periods, sickness incl
dental to change of life, or any of the
attending evils that are present in female
complaints. use Favorite Remedy it will
build up quickly the run down constitu-
ton, dispel those tired looks and feelings,
restore the nervous system and perma-
nently cure you. Our daughters grow
up weak and delicate; mothers can
avoid such conditions by giving them

Bonnet and toque strings are dis
pensed with in nearly all fine MILNE
ry.
The newest chiffons are in shot ef-
fects, one pattern, for instance, being
of pink shot with palest yellow.
Another piece has golden green, shot
with violet. There are likewise
striped, dotted, and lowered chiffons,
with colors not at all pronounced,
but in faint shadowy tints, as in
chine silks.
The spangle craze is as universal
as ever, and now that spangles and
paillettes can be bought by the
pound, tits tolerably certain that they
have reached the height oitheir favor.
Still they arenot likely to pass out Of
fashion tor a season or two to come.
Women who have time and patience
can decorate their own gowns and
other articles of dress very effectively
at little cost, using a firm and some
what coarse net as a foundation.
The paillettes and spangles are sewn
on one by one, each overlapping the
other like the scales of a fish. The
net must, of course, be previously cut
the shape required for bands, yoke,
girdle, or what not.
The round waist continues to APP
pear on imported gowns, but some
bodices for youthful wearers are
sharply pointed and fasten under the
arm or else in the back. Velvet rib
bon or fancy passementerie covers
the darts, or the bodice lining alone
has darts, with the outside laid in
soft surplice folds. Shot, lowered,
and other fancy silks are taking the
place of velvet in the making OF
sleeves. These sleeves are mon
strous; this is the word which best
describes their size.

Have You "It?"

Three women were talking the
other day about another woman.

she's amiable," remarked one of
them, "but she hasn't It., That's

about :" asked woman No. 8, con-

explain just what 1t means?" The
sisters smiled. "Well, don't know
that 1T can be explained" said one
otthem finally. "Forif it could be we

may not fully comprehend it. When
we say that a person has IT we
mean that she's attractive, and uni
versally so. She may be old and
ugly, she may be stupid and even
hopelessly bad form, but if she has

different, and that is an equality"
Mirabean exclaims, How can the
men estimate her political worth so
long as we are blinded by her
charms? " when she condescends to
become equal with man." says Lott,
"the race will die with shame" "She

FOR THE CENTER SEX.
Make Over Their Dresses.

There are often good fashions
growing out OF national disasters.
At the time of the French revolution
the style of wearing the hair high on
the head was begun and was desig-
mated as "a la guillotine." Apropos
OF this the fashion of the present has
entirely done away with the idea
that n must appear in a fresh
toilet every time one goes to a func'
ton of any sort. Mrs. Cleveland
and the ladies of the cabinet set the
admirable example last winter of
wearing the same gown as often as
the humor dictated. At the White
house receptions Mrs. Olney, Mrs.
Carlisle and indeed all of the cabinet
ladies have worn the same gown
more than once and have even resus-
cltated the toilets of last year and
subjected them to some Frightening
up and alteration, which though per-
maps not apparent to the ordinary
observer, has not escaped the eye OF
those who know the gowns and the
women we'll. 1t is now quite allow
able for a society writer to state
that Mrs. Blankenblink wore her
most becoming gown" and to de-
scribe the familiar toilet. And why
not !-[Washington Capital.
The New Woman in France
The Pail Mall Gazette has been
gathering the opinions of some OF
the French novelists concerning the
new woman. "In woman | see only
the mother" says Daudet-and this
is exactly what the advanced woman
mas been complaining of. She wants
MIN to see the citizen as well. Dumas

Mrs. Emily Bishop, the wellknown
writer and speaker, in a recent lect-
ure on dress said that the one great
reason for the failure ofdress reforms
IN the past has been their disregard
OF grace and beauty. A clever wom-
an once said to her that any girl
would rather be uncomfortable and
look nice, than to uncomfortable and
appear odd or gawky.

MERELYtA BLUFF.
IL Might Have Worked Had an Explains
tiOn Been Made


Congressman O'Noill of Missouri,
who was i'll the city for week or ten
days recently, has u friend in Washing
ton, Frenchman, who has the happy
faculty of beguiling the hours in such
pleasant manner that tho Missourian
often gets to bed long after tho chimes
of midnight have tolled tho beginning
OF another day. About Il. III. few
nights ago it occurred to Mr. O'Neill
that nature had some claims upon him
of paramount importance with those of
his French friend, and just for bluff
he suddenly broke off tho conversation,
which took place i'll tho lobby of the no.
tel III which tho retired statesman was
stopping, and said to the clerk in loud
voice:
Call me at 6 80. I've got to take an
early trainn ~
The Frenchman excused himself hur-
riedly and departed, and with heart
rejoicing in the success of his strata
gem O'Neill sought his couch and pro-
pared to press it until the dinner bell
should summon him to his days task,
for he had no intention of leaving for
several days to come.
About 10 minutes of o'clock n vio-
lent rapping at his door aroused him
from the sweetest part Of his slumbers,
and familiar voice in the corridor was
heard to cXclaim:
"Pudonnez-moi, Meester O'Neill.
Ect's nearly seek o'clock'-
Hang it!' exclaimed ONeill,
whats that TO me? Go away and let

At this tho pounding at tho door be-
came moro violent than before.
Bud you scd you wanded to gect oop
to catch 10 t-r- ain, and 20 l hat COON to
wake you. Gcet oop, geet cop, or you
will meez re train" and the pounding
continued.
1t twas no use to demonstrate. O'Neill's
friend insisted on making him get up
and open the door. Then he explained
that he had heard him tell tho clerk to
call him i'll time for tho early train, but
as ho had kept him up so late the night
before ho feared that the clerk might
forget, and accordingly he had como to
tho hotel to see that no did not over
sleep himself.
You old muttonhoadr exclaimed
the Missourian. Don't You know that
left that order just to get rid of you
because wanted to go to bed to get
some sleep? Don't you know it was all
a bluff"
"Bloof?" exclaimed the Frcnchman.
