Fantastique. In it's first issue he pub

ished by two months Imprisonment
and fine of 200 francs. This was the
short road to success. He became ia

leader in the group of poets who called
themselves the "Parnassiens. In 1868
Mendes married Judith Gautier, the
daughter of Theophile Gautier, but the
marriage did not prove happy or per-

such errors almost laughable results
pended upon costly fabrics. Artistic
makers know that when a certain de-
gree of elaborateness has been passed,
the need of trained eye in adding
further trimming is positive. Take all
the ornamentation that was applied to
the first bodice shown to-day; unless it
had been applied in the incest balance
the finished garment would have looked
overladen, and what was intended as
proof Of discriminating taste in the
wearer would have accused her Of
nothing less than vulgar display. The
gown was ecru linen over nile green
taffeta, and the bodice was very freely
trimmed with appliqued guipure, lace
braid and insertion. Narrow valen-
ciennes frills bordered each side of the
skirts front breadth, and the sleeves
were shirred from top to bottom.
Epaulettes Of linen edged with lace and
taffeta, and taffeta belt with large
bow at the side, completed the garni-
ture.
Plaids and plaid effects are just now
very popular, and 1t is small wonder
that plaid ginghams are being made up,
even though it is rather late in the sea-
son. They come in just the checks and
plaids Of silk, and make up every bit as
prettily as silk. When a woman gets

HIVE Headaches.

About eighty per cent of all head
aches are due to defective eyes and are
cured by glasses. In eye-headaches the
pain is in the eyeballs, across the fore
head, and at the back Of the head, in
one or all of these situations. The
headaches are usually worse toward
night; after USING the eyes closely; at
ter shopping; after attending public
gatherings; after looking out of moving
vehicles. They. are usually relieved by
rest and sleep, though not always.
Headaches which are only temporarily
relieved by drugs are usually eye-head-

amined when school life begins.-Dr. Fl,

with the type, and to Mrs. Hunts sur
prise little 5-year-old Vernon, who can
neither read nor write, was soon able
to set up all the typewriter "copy."
