A woman's headaches may come
from several causes. She may have
j headache arising from seriousness,
or from digestive disturbances. Nine
cases in ten, her headaches come
from disorders peculiar to her sex.
1t may show itself in the symptoms
which are characteristic OF q dozen
disorders. Thousands Of times
women have been treated for the
wrong disorders. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription was compounded
for the sole purpose Of relieving
womankind Of these ills and pains.
Thousands Of women have testified
that after taking treatment from
several physicians without benefit,
the "Favorite Prescription" cured
them completely and quickly. 1t

my symptoms were drowsiness in the

ELOUNCES HAVE REAPPEARED.
Their Revival Is Assured ard They
Are Seen on All New Gowns.

II is perhaps a little premature to recon-
mend fOunced skirts. Several have been
made. but ii seems not yet quite certain
whether the idea will take or whether it
will remain enc among the many expert
mentS tried and dropped every spring. This
IS word to the prudent and having spoken
1t the conscientious writer may go on to
describe what the dreGemakers say will be
the great rage in the spring.
The founced skirt is in three stages, or Il
may be five. If the material is thick the
hounces are cut in g0dets, that is to say, in

to an innovation in this gown. Little flaps
of velvet not more than two or two and a
half inches deep are added on below the
belt, carrying the blouse down with the
suggestion Of q basque. They are sewed to

SOME NEW COSTUMES.
HANDSOME CREPONS ARE STILL IN STYLE.

NEW YORK, April 22.-To those
who thought that crepons were out
of style for at least another decade
may say that there are still crepons,
and such lovely fancies in those pretty
goods that they are practically new.
There are printed crepOns where the
figure seems to have been printed on
the stuff before it was creped up, and
this gives the pattern a sOftness of
outline as pleasing as it is curious
Then there are soft crepOns in one
solid color. almost as soft as the
japanese Grape. Another kind has a
sort of shot effect.
1 saw one street dress made of this
latter kind of crepon, the body of the
color being a soft pale heliOtrOpe and
the folds giving a hint Of messy green
in them. This dress had a plainly gath
cred skirt which hung heavily from
the belt after the fashion of crepon.
The waist was single French one,
with a Swiss belt and collar of darker
purple surah. The sleeves were made
with one full puff reaching to the ell
bow, with q band of ribbon around
them there and a deep fall Of the
same, shorter on the front than the
back of the arm. This crepon gown
