FASHION NOTES.

Narrow leather belts of white, seal,
ian and green alligator skin, and patent
leather as well are to be worn much
next summer.
The prettiest sleeve in the French
gowns have flaring puffs or ruft1es at
the elbow, with lace falling below, and
are quite plain above.
Colored laces are one Of the novelties
in dress trimmings this season, and
brown guipure on beige-colored ma
terial, or green on brown, is very styi-
lish.
The close coat sleeves appear in some
Of the English tailor gowns, but full
epaulets of cloth falling over them par
TALLY disguise the fact that they are
quite close to the arm.
Another sleeve which is seen in the
new gowns is close fitting, either
wrinkled or plain, from the wrist UP
fully six inches above the elbow, and
is finished at the toy with one OF two
short puffs.
Very little change is seen in hair
arranged tresses are still the correct
thing. The knot is placed high at the
back, but not on top OF the head, ex-
cept for evening dress.
Another coat of biue-faced clotn
gown shows a white cloth vest braid
ed in blue, with three straps of blue
cloth below the bust, and full, droop-
ing shoulder pieces over the sleeves
which make it very stylish.
Coat waists are not the only style
in tailor-made gowns, for the pointed
bodice, fastened on one side, is one OF
the new spring models. 1t opens in
front on a full white silk vest, and
turns back in large revers. White
satin ribbon makes the stock collar and
bow.
The useful golf cape of double-faced
cloth or Of dark colored cloth, lined
with silk, is one of the few things IN
fashion which remains and seems like
ly to go on forever. There is no per-
ceptible change in the shape, unless
perhaps the cape is 2 little fuller around
the lower edge.
A smart gown for early spring veal
is made of migonette green cloth Will
a Louis Seize coat bodice and pelerine-
shaped revers, and cuffs Of biscuit-coi-
ored cloth embroidered with brown anc
! gold The bolero fronts cross over g
| little on one side fastening with two
brilliant buttons over a vest of cream
satin thickly braided with gold. Ac'
contemplated cream mousseline dt
sole forms a jabot and trims the cuffs
and collar.

be used with good effect, though it
lacks the rustic Of the silk, and that is
half the gown. The bingham will need
no lining whatever, and will be smart

calls on hot days. A pretty gown Of
this sort is of plain gray Bingham, d
very pale, soft tint, made up with
piaided bingham in co]ors Of rose pink,
black and white.
The skirt is made in the usual ilaring
mode and sets out quite smartly at the
foot. The round, plain bodice has a
short Elton jacket effect of plaid, with
a wide sailor collar Of the plain stuff.
The puff, dropping sleeves are OF the
plain goods, with the lower arm of
plaid. There is q stock baud and mars

3NTith better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper CT
forts-gentle pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you par
chase, that You have the genuine arti-

fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the ef,oyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives Or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
