Russian BIouses.

Russian blouses of black, green, brown, bluo or gray silks of various weaves, plain and full across tho fronts or laid in narrow tueks at the top to form a deep pointed yoke, will be worn next season with skirts of faille, cloth, repped wool or some of the many novel ssfaneies' in silk and wool. To the blouses will be added jeweled belts whose setting of semipreeious stones will match or contrast handsomely with tho color of the silk forming it. Many of the new blouse models still open down the left side, while others fasten directly down the front and turn back with wide, short reyers that as rule arc made of tho blouse material alone and not faced with different fabric.
 Odd and pretty models are formed en- tirely of silk braid about half an inch wide made into shape by crossing lines of the fiat braid, forming wide open work block or diamond patterns. These dressy affairs arc sometimes covered with jet nail heads and pendants. They are made little low in tho neck and sleeveless and are designed to slip on over 0 second high neeked, long sleeved silk or satin blouse in oerise, pink, green or some other becoming color.

In place of proceeding like many painters we'll known, and who have become familiar with the la- gunes and ducal palaces, Miss Jessie Allen has closely studied tho Venetian masters, Canaletto and his celebrated pupil Guardi, who have left pictures of an exact touch when Venice appears in atmosphere enveloped with haze. n-San Francisco Examiner.

 Nothing ln the world viii destroy the good looks, wholesoneness, the arniabi1ity. and the usefulness of woman uuicker than disorders of the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity Dr. Pieree's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for women who are ailing in this way.

It cures all the ills and pains too commonly considered an uncomfortable ifl- heritance of womankind. It has been used for over thirty years with an unbroken record of success. More of 1t has been sold than of all tue other medicines for women combined. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V.
