We deal honorably, frankly and fairly
with you and 1t costs you nothing to con-
suit us. There are some diseases which
at certain times no man living can cure.
But there are no diseases which cannot
be benefited and life prolonged with .he
right kind of treatment DR.. Smith has
ever made 1t Il life long rule to be honest
with his patients. If he says he can cure
your trouble he will accomplish It. When
invalids hear these cheering words, IL can
cure you;" that is II they know him, hope
springs into new being within their
breasts and from that very instant a
change takes place which, as rule, brings
them back to physical as well as mental
health and vigor. 1t is this new birth of
hope and confidence in DIR. Smith, an alb
solute faith in his powers and an absolute
belief In his methods which has led hosts
of patients to remark, well, doctor, feel

had this talk with You" And there is q
psychological reason for this statement
which Is much deeper than any one would
suppose. When II patient loses confidence
In doctor, no matter how skilled ne may
be, that Doctors usefulness ceases. The
absolute belief of a patient that he has at

worth more to the doctor than all the

but were cured. From various diseases
the patients obtained relief. and the
sufferers from rheumatism were numer-
oLs, some being terribly crippled.
The phenomena of the spring We're re-
markable and unique. Those who
bathed In its waters felt pleasing cur
rents of the subtle energy coursing
through their anatomy: and when a
cup (Which was chained) was touched
TO Its surface a shock was felt by the
arm which held the cup Marvellous
success came to the sanitarium. and
wealth was rapidly coming to the young
men during the several months that the
cure was In operation, until one day a
party of electricians visited the place
and discovered the secret of the
springs peculiar action. Thereupon,
fearing the wrath of the people, the
young men fled. leaving everything be-
hind.
The visiting electricians. strolling
over the mountain, had found wires,
and these Were traced into the spring.
Beneath the rock bottom of the basin
there was network of the conductors
The secret of the shock obtained at the
drinking place was found to lie in the
fact that the water was connected with
wire. and when the cup touched the
surface a circuit was formed. The dis
covery of the fraud destroyed in many
cases all the good that had been done
by the treatment.

The Marlborough, Old Maid and Gar
den Flower Varieties Are Popular.
Bows are blossoming vigorously this
season over gowns, hats, wraps, in fact
every article pertaining to feminine wear
and use.
The novelty OF the present winter is
called the Marlborough. named, OF course,
after the English duke who captured one
of our american beauties. This charm
ing scheme is simply a revival OF the
old-fashioned bow-fayored by our grand
mothers long years ago.
II has numerous and ample loops, the
ribbon, OF superfine quality, is crisply tied
with several short straight ends.
There Is another choice bow generously
used in trimming frocks. Ii consists of five
loops-ail crushed together and turned the
same way. This original departure peeps
out from the inside OF the sleeves and rests
on the bosom. and 10 make 1t more OF q
coquettish novelty it only appears on one
side of the body and that is the left. Merely
a smart bit of dress furnishing but yet an
exceedingly pretty idea.
There is still another aspirant in dress
decoration for the workers. campaign
That is the prim bow It is very stiff, CON
sisting of two loops, aone runs up, the other
down. and a band across which furnishes the
middle. These dignified loops are sctin,the
extreme end OF short busques In front. and
give to these abbreviated bodies very smart
look.
Butterfly rosettes are,eminently modish.
They consist of q series of fly-away- knots,
caught together and sewed near the waist
line to give fuller effect to very slender
figures.
Ribbon roses Blossom lavistly every where
and the woman makes no mistake who
smartens up dull toilet by liberal use of
some complementary color, which adds
greatly to the general effect.
Bouquets still retain-bo VS. as their special
property. Long streaIners with loops are
also III vogue. and in some instances there is
sinan bow of narrow ribbons which isplaced
at the extreme end OF the bouquet making
a graceful finish.

MEASURES TO TREAD WHERE
THE MISTLETOE is HUNG.
french Figures That Bid Fair
to Become Permanent in
the Cotillions.

The rage in smart Partisan salons at pres
ent is the old and graceful dance called
La Pavane, which was in vogue in the
Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries.
The gay Parsians, however, are reyiy-
ing this old measure for the sake OF its
picturesque effects, and the pavane, or the
pavana, is becoming vastly popular in
american ball rooIns IL is Frenchmep,
Emile Michelet, who, in speaking OF this
old dance, adds, - 1t is necessary that those
who dance IL be endowed with beauty
This is all very easily arranged, for all
maids and matrons ARA yed in filmy, diapha-
nous ball gowns are beautiful and the nen-
1t Is the men, above all, who add the touch
OF picturesqueness to the scene, in caps
adorned with long plumes, velvet capes en-
broidered with gold, and precious stones
and swords at their sides, like gay cava-
lers of Louis XIV's time.
To have seen the pavana danced, one
should have lived in the time of Margaret
OF Valois, who was endowed with the gift
of the graces, ''her body, as finely nodded
as that OF Greek goddess, glowed in the
pavana, like Il full-flown flower Of hu-
nianity, swaying in the cytherean breeze"
Princes dreamed of this Partisan dancer in
the solitude of their Kingdoms. King John
Of Austria once came from the Netherlands
10 Paris. He mingled with the gentlemen
TO see Margaret dance pavana. When she
J had retired, delighted, though fatigued,
King John immediately left the capital
for his home, his eye forever daZzled by
vision of lightness and beauty.
Another old dance revived which is per-
haps more in accordance with modern tn ste.
is the passe-pied de la Refine. The steps
have been arranged by dancing master
of the French opera house, and to a
certain extent adapted to modern require
ments. The dance is a kind Of minuet
only brisk and lively, composed OF eight
figures. Two couples are required, and
any number of sets of four dancers can
take part
The leader should open the dance with
his partner, the arm extended and slightly
rounded, and the two dancers not too close
| to each other: by this means the position
of each will he more graceful.
The important figures are second, third
and sixth, as follows:
In the second figure, or piroutte the
cavalier holds both hands OF his partner
having the right one in his left raised
very high while her left is taken with his
right at the usual height, meanwhile Civ

the dancers across the perfect floor OF

dainty hall, the light falling softly through
opaline shades on the silk and satln-clad
beauties anu their attendants.
In the library a huge fir tree lowered
to the ceiling. almost fifteen feet high,
and its ample boughs were weighted with
costly souvenirs from every CLINE. dis
pensed as favors to the dancers by their
splendidly generous hostess. Electric lights
of all colors lit up the shining, towering
tree of treasures. Holly and Mistletoe
were used suggestiyely of the season. here
and there throughout the house. AT ii
clock the dining room was open to all
who cared TO drink the healths of their
friends and Saint Nicholas.
Mr.. Walter Berry led the many intricate
figures of the cotillon most gracefully, in
Producing many novel figures. Those who
took part included the members of the

Of official and residential society.
A supper for which the guests We're seated

This was one of the most perfect functions
ever seen in Washington.
Mrs. Letter was regaliy attired in black

Luncheon Societies Where Repasts
Are Gotten Up for Six Dollars.
A charming Young married woman of
my acquaintance is the trea surer of three
clubs called the Fifty Cent Luncheon Clubs
The c1neaning OF this title is that the cost of
per pretty head. There are twelve women
belonging to each club, the twelfth being the
treasurer which makes her responsibilities
singularly involved and arthmetical, but,
1t is all perfectly clear when you under
stand it.
1t is astonishing, they tell me, what
delicious repasts for twelve guests can he
served for the sum of six dollars which does
not include wines and flowers as those
are optional items with the hostess and
at her own expense.
Here are the dry facts which may prove
useful to anybody disposed to aid a pet
charity in way that has not been done
before.
Each club gives a luncheon every two
weeks. One dollar apiece is paid on each
occasion into the 'treasurer's hands. fifty
cents of which goes to the charity, hence We
get these figures, and fifty cents towards
the individual church, Sc every two weeks
for the charity from each of the three clubs

only meet during the season from November
to May.

who has seen the dance cannot wonder that
all Paris is taken captive by the graceful
passe-pied de Ia Refine, which is in evidence
at every smart dance. At the end of the
evening all the company join hands in the
jolly farandole, which the artist has pic
tured so cleverly: 1t is rollicking, merry
ending to a happy evening.
