of the valois form and is encircled by a
torsade Of ribbons with a bow behind,
which Is secured by a jet, steel or jeweled
ornament. Blouse jackets are becoming
less and less full, the back being usually
quite CLOSE and plain.
For travelling gowns, the season for

rough plaid woods, covert cloth and cheviot
are employed. They are simply made and
decorated with flat trimming. For wraps
the rough cape of heavy cloaking, unlined,

to make a lining unnecessary, and the
fringe of the goods itself Is usually the
only trimming. An ample hood finishes
the cape. Cloth of plain color on one side
and plaid OF the other is much seen; also
cloth having both sides of plain but differ
ing color.
The illustration shows a neat travelling
costume of dark military blue cloth. The
skirt is ornamented in front by an appli-
cation of blue velvet and black military
braid. The close, plain coat bodice is SIM
ilarly adorned and closes in the middle
with a double line Of black passementerie.

tions at the wrists, and the turned down
collar is faced with velvet. The gray straw
hat Is trimmed with blue velvet and gray

man may have a nerve of steel and a heart
as tender as a mothers.
Of all the specialists in the world, there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment of women's
diseases as DR.. R. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. With
the assistance of his staff of able physi-
clans, he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women. Dr..
Pierce is pre-eminently a sympathetic ply
stefan. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she 1abors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, so long as that care required the
~repugnant examinations" and "local
treatments" insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures in
the privacy of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious "local
treatment" 1t imparts health, strength,
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
feminine and fits for wifehood and mother
hood.
