New styles are chosen in quite an
odd way. The fashionable drcssmal1
ers bring over, twice a year a selection
Of costumes, from which their custom
ers choose what suits their fancy.
They cannot buy the gown they see
that is not always, but from the mod
el shown there .,an be ordered a gown
made to fit the particular figure.
Sometimes the blending Of colors does
not suit the taste of the purchaser,
who then chooses what she prefers,
guided, of course, somewhat, by the
taste of the dressmaker, who is an &C
knowledged aut )crat, and refuses to
allow too much latitude Of choice.
When a costume has sufficient origin
ality Of design to mark 1t as distinct
i've, it Is certain to be copied, and in
this way all new fashions make their
debut.-Harpcr's Bazaar.

Many physicians, according to a lee
turer on dietetics, are ordering thin
bread and butter for delicate patients,
especially those suffering from dyspep-
STA, consumption and anaemia, or any
who need TO take on flesh. This thin

persons to eat much more butter than
they have any idea of. 1t is e~xtraor-

that lures them to take 1t without re-

has another advantage equally as great
