Perfume Bags to Put In Every Concoiva-

Sachcts may 10 either waddcd or un-

must always DO wadded. but in many
cases this is not necessary. In either case
tho outside should DO of thin, 1no silk,
through which tho perfume may oasily
escape and pormeato tho garments among
which tho sichot Is placed.
Perfumod powder is sometimes scattered
In tho wadding of padded garments, such

en- fond OF perfumes usually have num-
Dor Of sachets of difforont sizes, largo ones
to be placed among underwear, middle

OF botiicos and tho armholos. .1.f.7
Padded boxes for gloves md handker-
ohiofs are also porfumod with powder

arc therefore by for the most oonvoniont

pleasure palace, Olympia. Tho other night
when was there Mile. Guilbert did not
arouse titho of tho enthusiasm or receive
nearly SO much applause as couple of
perpendicular bnr performers. But Gull
bert receives salary Of $4,000 woek,
and tho bar performers probably do not
get moro than SO, 900 hebdomadally. And
thero can be no possible shadow Of doubt
that Guilbert Is really paid 1900, for the
management of the theater has SO an
nounccd 1t, and any person who may want
moro conclusive proof is probably one of
those skeptical follows who never, believe
ovon circus advertisements. Tho French
woman is, however, worth even tho 81, 900
q week to- tho shrewd Hammerstein, be-
cause her engagement has brought him at
ono stroke tho enthusiastic support Of the
Francomaniacs and that largo class which
worships anything saturated with Euro
pcanism, no matter from what particular
nation it may emanntc. :
If Yvette Guilbert were an American, I
should not hesitate to shy that sho cannot
sing little bit; that sho Is neither pretty
nor attractive; that her low cut costume
is not becoming; that hor murvclously nd
vcrtiscd hnir Is by no means beautiful, and
that shot is awkward to q degree, both as to
gesture ana carriage.
AS Milo. Guilbcrt is tho highest salaried
"divetto" or 'disouse" in tho world how
over, and declares that 81, 900 week is a
nero bagatolle it is perhaps tho proper
thing to say that her diction is perfect, and
that she makes 10 effort ut what is gen
orally regarded as vocnlism, that being en-
tircly too commonplace thing for wom-
an of her transccndcnt attninmonts and
salary to bother her head with. 1t might
also 10 considered all fait to state that
whilo Milo. Guilbert is not strictly pretty
there is an 'undcflnabc something which
makes her attractive. In tho Same vein
sho also dresses bccomingly, her hair is of
that indescribablo tint which Titan liked
to paint but didn't, and her manifest
awkwardnoss would DO transformed into
delightful gatichcrio, or some other thing
which tho average reader might misinter-
pref, and which would still convey tho i'm
preston that the writer was overwhelmingly
orudite.
Tho real facts arc that whilo Mile Gull
bert might DO the remarkable artist that
tho Fronch say she Is, MS far as Americans
arc concerned sho is mediocre Her charm,
may consist i'll tho intonation or infection,
but oven those persons not French born
who think they thoroughly understand tho
language would fnil to comprehend most
OF what Guilbert says because it Is not
usually the simon-pure article. She is not
pretty, but sho is not ugly. She Is de-
cidodly awkward, whether naturally or by
design, and that "1tinn crown of glory
would not voluntarily DO worn by the nv
orago American woman. Guilbert does
not attempt To sing, manifestly because it
would be foolish for her to do SO. She has
very little voice, and evidently approaching
that fact does not do anything which
would sorve to cnll undue attention to her
marked shtrtcoming III that direction

low the little sickness to grow into the
big sickness. They allow constipation to
grow into indigestion, heartburn, dizzi-
ness, headache, insomnia, and hundred
other distressing conditions. They do
this frequently because they do not know
the cause OF their trouble. 1t is pretty
safe rule to look for the source of 9-Ioths
of human sickness in this one simple and
appallingly prevalent trouble. Another
foolish thing that smart people do is to
take some alleged remedy for constipa-
ton and keep on taking it, day after day,
month after month and year after year.
Perhaps it is better to take the medicine
than not to take it at all, but of course If
they stop taking it, their trouble will
come back. This last statement is true

S5O,OOO FIRE IN DANBURY
TUO or THE LARGEST HAT FAC
 TORIES DESTROYED.

Mackenzie X Sons and Davenport & Won
 Gal the Losers-Originated in Alcohol
 Used in the Work-Fire Spread Rapidly
 Loss Nearly Covered by Insurance.
 Danbury, April 22-One of the most disastrous fires in western Connecticut since January first visited this town
 this afternoon and destroyed two hat factories, entailing loss of $5O,0OO. They were owned by Mackenzie & Sons and Davenport & Von Gal, and were
 located in the midst of the hat manu- featuring center, on Taylor street, on
 the line of the Danbury and Norwalk railroad tracks.
 The blaze originated in the factory
 of Mackenzie X Sons and spread With
 great rapidity. The fire is supposed to
 have started from the alcohol used in the work, and in less time than the alarm could be sounded the whole
 building was a mass of flames, the
 burning oil giving off a dense black
 smoke and a foul odor which penetrat-
 ed the whole city.

 out but they could not check the prog
 ress of the flames until they had spread | to the adjoining factory of Davenport & Von Gal. Heroic efforts were made | to save a portion of the goods and machinery in this building, but though | the men worked rapidly but little was | saved. In little more than half an hour | from it's discovery the fire had reduced 1 to ashes the two factories
 | The buildings were about the same | size 120x50 feet, three stories high and | constructed of wood With stock and machinery other manufacturers in the | same business estimate the loss to be from $25, ,00O to $3O000 in each case. With the exception of a small brick stock house apart from the main build- | ing of Davenport & Von Gal the struc- | lures were insured. This building was supposed to be fireproof. It was, how ever completely gutted. One hundred
 hands were employed in each factory, and they will be temporarily thrown out of employment.
 | Later tonight it was estimated that | the loss would exceed $50,000. The Mackenzie building was owned by
 George w. Taylor and was worth s12,- l 900, with an insurance of s4,000. There | was an insurance on the machinery and stock of $20,000 which will about cover the loss Davenport & Won Gal carried an insurance of about $S5,0O0,
 which will hardly cover their loss.
 The factory of Mclaughlin & Co.,, across the tracks from the burning building, caught fire several times, but | the firemen succeeded in extinguishing | the blaze as often.
 Five thousand persons witnessed the confiagration.

BOvinine

Dr. w. E. s. Preston, House Physician of the "House of Rest for Consumptives," of Fremont, N. Y., says, q have never known a case where the stomach has rejected Bovinine. In cases of collapse, so common among con- sumPtives, we always use it." Bovinine being easy to take, and quick of assimilation and won- derful food product, at once starts on its mission of creating strength, flesh and blood. It tones up the vital organs and by thus invigorating them, enables them to throw off disease and gives to the sufferer a new lease of life where such a thing is possible.

Nerves are weak, many people say, and yet they do not seem to know that they are literally starving their nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood can not give proper sustenance - that is why you are nervous, tired, exhausted. The cure for this condition is to purify, vitalizc and enrich your blood. Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and faithfully, and the rich, red blood, which it makes, will soon feed the nerves the elements of true strength they require; they will cease their agi- tation and will resume their proper place = being under the control in- stead of controlling the brain and body. Read Miss Bartley's letter:
