HOW TO WEAR EYEGLASSES.
They Must BE Mounted in Gold and
Jewels.

Lorgnettes massive with gold and brilliant
with gems have shown their influence in the
recent designs Of eyeglasses. 1t was not so
very long ago that fashions in eyeglasses
were never heard of. Eyeglasses, as far as
the observer could discover, were as alike as
50 many peas, and there was no hint of vari-
ETY. IN thousands of patterns, which differed
from each other in no perceptible degree.
The newest glasses, however, correspond to
the newest fad and are an interesting study
apart from their beauty and value.
me newest pair of spectacles, the design
OF which has just been evolved by a popular
JeWeler, IS muchs in favor among elderly
women, who wish as far as possible to avoid
the appearance Of age. There are to be no
more slender gold bows resting on the elderly
Woman's ears. This method of attaching
spectacles is henceforth to be reserved SOLELY
Tor the superannuated. According to the new
Iancy the spectacles are very heavily mount
cd IN deliberately chased Roman gold. and to
them Is attached aslong, equally elaborate
goid handle. They are then held before the
eyes precisely after the fashion Of a lorgnette.
This fashion is hardly more striking. how
ever, than others which concern themselves
with the mounting of single glasses. These
DAINTY little affairs, first cousins to the much
rlo1culed monocle. are set in all manner OF
pretty styles, the glasses themselves being
oval or square or round, according to the
preference OF the owner. Weak eyes are no
longer considered in the light of an affection,
Dut as an opportunity to decorate ones self
with these intricately pretty badges of up-to-
dateness.

Which are embroidered true to nature.
The foul sides of the pillow have a
twist Of green stems and artificial vio-

ing Of the pillow may be the violets

This pillow is closely duplicated In
roses, with rose-leaf filling. Still an
other pillow is similar to the former,
being a ho~dge-podge made of ali sorts
OF MOWERS and leaves as filling, with
Easter flowers embroidered on the top.
One of h hos striking novelties in
pillows is designed for the smokers
den, being worked on art ticking in the
new shade of yellow. The bunch of
cigars, tobacco pouch. and pipe all
nave places on this head rest. They
are done In reds, browns and yellow,
and the inscription is worked in bril-
liant red letters. The edges are fnish-
ed with a heavy silk cord in shades of
brown n yellow fiecked here and
there with touches of red.
Perhaps there is no pillow that will
be more appreciated than the one de-
signed for the bicyclist. The founda-
ton is white liner duck, having a huge
bicycle wheel in the center, ennBroid-
cred in Delft colors throughout the
tire, while the spokes at intervals are
cards with autographs of different cy-
cling friends done in outline. One of
the most effective pillows is designed

plainly.
On a foundation Of chamois one may
place a pretty reminder of spring in the
form of a flight of swallows, painted
true to their own ~cOloring. The tops
of a telegraph pole and church spire
should be in the background. The
skies are finished with a full ruche
OF brown silk with frayed edges.
FOr the cabin of the yc ing man who
has a yacht, there has been designed a
pillow in Delft coloring with a sailing
vessel as the principal feature. The
nigh waves, too, are reproduced. The
edges are finished with three double
ruft1es of India silk in the Delft blue

waist crossed in front and fastened
with a small gold buckle. The gown
was simple. but very elegant.
Among the most fashionable colors
Of this season is found graz in all the
shades known as French. 1t is diff
ficult to describe wherein French gray
differs from any other, but there is a
decided difference. I think most
women know it. There are several
shades of that tint from quite dark to
a shade so nearly white that it is only
when placed beside pure white that it
is known. These grays in grenadines
are exquisite when trimmed with black
lace and maybe a bit of black velvet
to pick it UP. There are many colors
which, added to gray, enhance bot its
and their own beauty. I noticed one
street dress of a rather dark shade
Of gray. This was trimmed on the
skirt, sleeves and simulated figaro with
very narrow black soutache braid. The
turret laps to the collar were also
edged with 1t. The waist was gathered
at the neck, and at the waist line 1t
was drawn across in surplice folds IN
der a wide, draped belt of ruby velvet.
This was fastened at the side by a
rhinestone buckle. The stock collar
was also mad of ruby velvet. A toque
was made of the velvet with a fancy
cocks plume of green feathers. The
dress was made of broadcloth.
One Of the prettiest reception dresses
that I have seen his season was of the
new pimpernel pink. This is between
coral, rose and salmon and is very
rich, yet delicate. 1t was of heavy
satin duchesse, the skirt plain, but full
and admirably adjusted. Around the
hips were three narrow rows of ac-
Gordon plating, headed by a piping Of
the same. This is quite a favorite
fancy in the trimming of gowns now.
The bodice in front had a series Of
puffs n narrow plaitings from the
draped belt to the throat. This belt
was very pretty. It was smooth and
to a point in front and all around the
back. At the right side it was draped
and drawn across and up to the bust
line on the left side, where 1t finished
under a bow. It was made OF mordore

owy figures and tints that make the
cheney silks such visions Of elusive
charm. These are really lovely, and
no woman can see them without long
ing for one from the depths of her
heart.
A home dress was made for n
young lady Of n of the checked pop-
Inns, where the lines were white drawn
over a blue ground, that while blue was
still green in some lights. The skirt
was cut in five cores, the front one un-
usually narrow. There was a blouse
waist of rich dark blue faille. This
blouse was opened across the chest and
outlined with a design of chenille en-
broidery and narrow gold cord. The
open space was filed in with a smooth
piece Of the poplin. The sleeves were
made Of the dark faille, with the wrists
trimmed with the gold braid, as also
was the choker collar. A narrow belt

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The bill for
the representation of the United States
on any international monetary con-
ference that may be called occupied
the senate today almost exclusively,
and was finally passed by the triumph
ant majority of 46 to 4. II authorizes
the president to appoint five or more
commissioners to any international
conference with a view to securing
nXlty OF relative value between gold
ana silver as money by means OF
common ratio between the metals with
Tree mIntage at such rates; and 1t also
authorized the president to call, in his
discretion, such conference TO assemble
at such point as may be agreed upon.
The debate on the bill was long and
interesting; but by far the most i'm
portant speech was that made by Mr..
Roar (Rep. Mass) He took the fround
that very large majority of the peo-
PIE of the civilized world were in favor
OF the double standard Of gold and sill
Yer. He quoted two distinguished
French Observation-Disclosures. Fongerol
and Meline-as strongly in favor of
DImetalliSm, and said that a resolu-
ton introduced in the French assembly

support of 357 out of $50 delegates, or

There was never a remedy SO emf

beyond all competition, as Paine's Gel
cry compound.
Paine's celery compound effects mar

When other remedies miserably fail,

there Paine's celery compound is
found curing disease, making people

disease liver complaint, stomach trou-

every other name you could think of.
When L was in Portland, Ore, I had
enlargement of the liver, and the doc
tor thought all the troubles came from
that severe spell of illness That
was II years ago, and l have done
nothing but doctor ever since. l have
had the best physicians examine me,
and see if they could do anything for
me. For months at a time my stom-
ach and liver have been so sore that
l could lie in bed only in misery, and
with such severe pain in my back, and
so weak that l could hardly talk
After l had bad night 1 would
send for the doctor, and he would
leave me a small box of powders and
one or two other medicines, and it
would cost me 81 every time I had one
of these spells. I believe l have taken
more medicine than any other living
woman.
Last March I had a call from a
lady friend of mine, who asked me.
