Really it is enough to make ones
head swim, here are furs marked down
TO prices that make it big temptation
to buy, and at the same time new sum-
mer goods are displayed so fascinating,
cheap and pretty that it seems wicked
not to buy some of them, too. 1t
seems queer to be investing in organdie
and fur at the same season, and here
is a bit of advice to steady you a lit
tie. If you really need a fur garment,
get it now and bless your stars that
you have managed to wait until the
late winter prices made the purchase
of fur advantageous. A fur bought now
will serve you for the rest of the sea-
son, and will be in good shape for all
of next winter, and be feasible for, ma
king over for the following winter. If
you need ii, therefore, buy now and let
the organizes wait; but if you don't
need fur, then don't be tempted. Re
member that you take the risks of
storage, of change of style, of loss and
of change in your own dimensions. 1t
is to escape many of these risks
that the dealer is tempting you now
with prices that make many woman
fall into the trap of an expensive econ
omy.
If, however, you are determined on
taking advantage of the current low
figures, there is a collarette in this
picture that will be of interest to you.

LOOKING AHEAD Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t doesn't work miracles !;
but it does what other medicine can't do
and what doctors say can't be done-un-
til they see it done right under their noses
it cures consumption.-Not always; to
say that would be an exaggeration, but
in a large majority of cases F; in advanced
cases which have been given up as hope
less.
The discovery is not called a con-
sumption-cure it is a blood-naker. 1t
gives energy to the blood-making organs
to create new blood, full of healthy red
corpuscles. This rapid supply OF pure,
rich, red blood drives out all diseases that
have their roots in the blood: ConSump-
ton is one of these; scrofula, malaria,
eczema, erysipelas, catarrh-are others.
1t is absurd to doctor them separately as
lung, or skin, or head diseases. They
must be driven out of the blood. You
can rely on the Golden Medical Dis
covery" to do this every time.
1t is not patent medicine. 1t is the
perfected result of 80 years, practical ex-
perience by one of the most skillful ply
sicians and eminent medical authorities
in this country:-Dr. R. V. Pierce, Chief
Consulting Physician to the Invalids' Ho-
tel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.

weekly about a column of matter de-
voted to each church in the city, thus
compelling it's readers to endure

of the cap 1 class Of reading matter.
The twO-year-old son of Mr.. and

cloth, of which the dress beneath it
was made. Muff and collar were, of
course, of the same fur, and the collar,
besides making a handsome framing
for the face, was very cozy. At the
back of the collarette was but little
more than half the length of the front,
so with the open sides and uncovered
arms there was little to be said in IA
vor of the garment as to the protection
it afforded. But fully half of our styl-
ish furs are open to the same criticism,
Stylish capes are not warm, and If
you are determined on securing warmth
go in for a jacket. Persian coats give
better wear than those of any other
fur, and are stylish but not particu-
larly dressy. Electric seal is every
bit as pretty as the real thing, and
wears just as well. Sable does not
make up we'll in a jacket. Chinchilla
trimmings have been fashionable, but
the fur is very delicate, not becoming
except to a good winter complexion,
and may not be in vogue next season.
You see you must have your judgment
on hand if you are going for bar
gain" in fur just now.

BUTTERFLIES PERCH ON WO
MEMS SHOULDERS.

The sleeve of the coming season will
be the butterfly. 1t fits the arm to the
shoulder and there flares into a pair
of pretty wing effects caught tOgeth-
err right on the top of the shoulder as
the loops of Il ribbon bow are caught
by the cross piece of the bow. This
sleeve adapts itself to all sorts of ma
terials, and in gauZe over the bare
arm nothing could be lOvelier. the
lines of the arm being followed in ev-
cry curve. and the beauty of the
shoulder being only set off by the pref
ty butterfly fullness. In winter ma
terial the sleeve is wrinkled to the de-
sired degree of wrist to shoulder,
where it combines with the butterfly
effect.
The entirely tight sleeve of coat pat
tern has not been accepted, and even
the tailOrmade gown has some relief
at the shoulder. For setting off the
shoulders of 4 comparatively simple
dress plcated ruffleS like those of this
picture, or in modification of them,are
serviceable device. These muffs
were of the dress stuff-turquoise blue
crepe de chine. This bodice had fit
ted lining, the fullness of the crepe
being pleated in the waist, where a
plain satin ribbon was tied in 4 bow
at the side. A pretty yoke-like in
sertiOn of Irish guiDure with collar to
match was finished with narrow sill
yer embroidery.

dresses are made double, the outside
skirt slipped down in front, it's upper
edge we'll below the hip line just in
front and rising slightly as the figure
is followed, till at the back the outer
skirt is at the belt line. Skirts are
made all in one 20 give this same effect,
being Set on a sort of yoke which fits
to below the hip line in front and mar
rows up over the hips to nothing at all
at the back. If the spring of the skirt
is immediate and sufficient below this
abdominal line, such skirt is becom-
ing and graceful, but it is not easy to
cut and is trying to any but n very del
icately modelled figure. The effect of
spring to the lower part of the skirt
is perhaps most easily secured by the
row of ruffles so popular. These ruff
fles all droop in front and curve up to
the belt line in the back. Suggesting
these curved lines about the front of
the figure below the waist is merely
preparing us for the draped overskirt,
the most graceful OF all skirt effects
as long as it is popular only in moder-
alton, but which so soon means mere
bulk weight and artificial lines.

BRAIDING FOR FINE FIGT1REs

GRADING FOR FINE FIGTTREs
Inc newest models of tailor gowns are
nttde closely and are made elaborate nv
pralding. A very stunning design
SHOWS bodice which in front has the
erect OF being a series of straps that
button together a little to one side of
the front. Each strap is braided all
| around its edges, and the under nor
ton OF the bodice, over which all these
straps fasten is bright scarlet silk
rms scarlet merely glints between the
EDGES OF the straps which when all
fastened give an unbroken contour IN

duce the Jaunty military effect so much
In vogue just now for folks with hand
some figures.
This effect is in such favor that II
extends to other than tailormades and
1t is tasteful example of this use of
1t that the accompanying picture pre-
SCENTS. The gown was black cloth for
the SKIRT which was trimmed near the
mem with two bands of velvet, and of
white cloth for the jacket bodice. The
latter was fitted, had short fitted
basque and hooked invisitIy in front
where both edges were bordered with
heavy silk cord. Military frogs and
olives of the cord were added 1t was
finished with a short collarette of the
white cloth braided and appliqued with
black cord, with a wired applique COL
lar Deep applique cuffs ornamented
the sleeves, and a ribbon belt had long
sash ends.
A new skirt that promises to become
very stylish lies in small folds and
flares at back and sides. It fits obso-
lutely over the hips and does not flare
bit in front. Thus it fits the figure
exactly, in that most trying of all lines
which follows the contour of the form
below the belt. The required spring
is given to the skirt, so that a little

BILE epaulettes of black satin capped
the tight sleeves, and a band of the fur
edged the skirt hem.
For woman whose complexion is
seriously marred it is a wise plan to
shroud the face in very fine tulle or
gauze, over which comes a coarse mesh
large dot veil. At little distance the
tulle does not show, and yet the COM
plexion is much softened by it. A few
wells are shown with black mesh
sprinkled thickly with coiored dots
When the dots are becoming and har-
monte with the coloring Of the hat the
effect is good.

Vaccination against typhoid fever
seems to be an assured in the
var on disease. Two professors con-
lected with the Army Medical School at
Netley, England, have elaborated a
process of antityphoid vaccination.
Cultures of the bacilli are used in the
process. Observations were made up
on a number of persons, mostly medi-
cal men, with satisfactory results. A
medical journal says the vaccinations
can be practised without risk, and their
adequacy, also, can be easily controlled
by examinations of the blood. Persons
exposed to the risk of typhoid infec-
ton may secure immunity through this
process if the present degree OF suc-
cess is maintained.

financial question by a successful bus

Mr.. Holland admits that all of his
prephesies have been unfulflled and
says that our condition has been worse
than imagined and the recovery will
take longer than was supposed. One
great truth, it seems, has come to him
an illumination from on highland
that is that all business and manu-
factue depends on the farmer" He
truly says we are a debtor nation and
our Indebtedness is held all over the
world. Did it ever occur to Mr.. Hol-
lane that SO long as we permit u ma
tlonal creditors to fix the prices Of u
products we will never be anything
else but a debtor nation? Will he on
suit What is called the index number
tables, which show a constantly de-
creasing range of the prices of average
commodities, in which our interest
charges abroad are paid, and tell us
how we are to cease to be debtors if
this continues?
~England's annual tribute from
America in interest equals at least
$500, 600 zoe, which may all be oxactcd
in gold. We do O. produce 10 per
cent of that quantity of gold which is
available for payment, and must pay
in commodities at England's price. If
Mr.. Holland had a note due in his
bank, and his bank knew that he could
only pay in stoves, what power would

banker was a good business nan') to
enhance the price of his stoves?
There is much truth in Mr.. Eol-
lands statement of conditions, but the
circular is remarkable in THAT there is
no suggestion of a remedy. He does
not tell us to have c~onfdence;" he
breathes no word of hope of better
times from tariff legislation; he does
not advocate the retirement of the
greenbacks. We car infer from his
leafet that there is no remedy unless
1t be the discovery of a cure for hog
cholera. ~Singularly enough, however,
in enumerating causes for conditions
he specifies in the same paragraph and
as concurring causes the increased ca
pacity for production of wealth by
electric devices and the destruction CT
wealth by hog cholera. Now, Mr.. Hol-
land, let us not burst in ignorance.
Please, please, tell us whether the in
creased production of wealth due to in
vention or the destruction of wealth by
hog cholera is the cause of our trou-
bles, or do both conspire to put us in
this miserable plight?
