NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
Various Items of Dress That Are Now
In Favor Among the
Ladies'.

1t Is rare, indeed, that any material
comes to the front with as much rapid
ity as linen has done during the past
Few seasons. From occasional indul-
eence it has become regulation ma
terial and is likely to increase in favor
as it's admirable qualities become
known. A few women have always in
dulged in linen dresses, notably two
CT three who for years have not been
without summer suit and house
dresses made of Barsley linen sheet
ing. This fabric is so deliciously COM
Portable in feeling that those who have
worn it express themselves with the
utmost enthusiasm. Linen of all
grades, colors and weights Is used,
among the latest invasions being the
employment of heavy striped linen for
useful skirts and bicycle wear. There
is also an extremely heavy twilled
linen that makes the most perfect
suits imaginable. AS fabric for skirt
and Elton Jacket or blazer there Is
nothing that gives greater satisfac-
tion than this heavy twilled linen.
Carefully made up with regard to the
grain of the cloth, they may be laun-
dered until there is scarcely frag-
ment left of them. In days agone some
practical women made all of their
small boys suits of this goods. It
washes as easily as an old handker-
Chief, and, while it fades-or, rather,
leaches-it grows more lustrous and
beautiful with age, and the last wear
of it is more satisfactory than the
first,
Efforts to popuarize overskirts do
not seem to meet with any marked de-
gree of success. The trimmed skirt Is
greatly preferred, and the general
opinion is that it will take year or
two at least to bring the overskirt into
prominence. Some of the most ar
tistic models made up in this way have
fallen completely fiat and can find no
buyers at any price. Especially is this
the case with those that have any
marked peculiarities.
Among the new styles In shoes are
patent feathers with very fiat. broad
tees. The first sight of them gives one
n sort of shock. so different are they
from the pointed toes to which we
Lave become so accustomed.
Neck dressing is ultra-ela borate.
Yards and yards of lace are put into
some of these dressy accessories. and
ribbon, chiffon. silk, muslin and othe,
materials are in great demand for this
purpose.-N. Y. Ledger.

DOING UP CURTAINS.
Those of Lace Must BE Carefully
Washed and Handled or They
VIII Not Last Long.

There are many and bitter complaints
of the poor wearing qualities of lace
curtains as compared with those that
Blasted for years in the times of our
grandmothers." Complainants often
insist that the quality has deterorated.
and that there are no such goods made
as those bearing date of 40 years ago,
many of which are even yet in more
presentable condition than our own,
that have passed through perhaps two
or three cleanings In as many years.
The reason for this is, more than
any other one thing, the difference in
the process Of cleaning. In localities,
where the modern professional curtain
cleaner is unknown, 1t is altogether
probable that the curtains last as long
as ever. They are carefully washed
under the personal supervision of the
housekeeper or by her own hands, and
are put upon the grass to bleach, and
when sufficiently clear are rinsed and
starched, not too stiff, fer that might
cause them to break, but just enough
to make them look new. They are
then neatly and regularly pinned down
upon the parlor carpet and left to dry
with locked doors, to keep out in
truders, and open windows to let In
the air.
When taken up they are almost If not
altogether as good-looking as new, and
have suffered little if any injury during
the process. Treated in this way tam
boured lace curtains will last until the
owners are wearied with seeing them
around and get new ones for variety.
The modern process is very different.
The curtain is put into large caul-
dron, with scarcely water enough to
cover it, and boiled in the strongest
bleaching chemicals. 1t is slightly
rinsed and stifiy starched If it is
torn or the threads are broken, a Sec
ton of net lace is dipped in thick
starch or paste and laid over the
broken spot, which has been partly
closed by being drawn together with
very fine thread. The. net Is then
pressed upon the curtain with such
force as 10 unite them like one fabric.
The curtains are then dried, folded
and sent home to be put up. There is
sufficient strength in the starch and
threads to hold the material together
while the starch remains, but when
next it is necessary to clean them they
will be likely to drop apart by their
own weight as soon as they are thor
oughly wet. Very few curtains will
bear the third cleaning of this sort.
1t has, therefore, become one of the
breads of the housekeeper's life to have
the notwithstanding season come
around. 1t is much better to have this
done at home if possible, as really
good set of curtains ought to last at
least until they are hopelessly out of
fashion.-Decorator and Furnisher.

THE DREADED CONSUMPTION.
r. A. SLOCUM, M. c., THE GREAT CHEMIST
AND SCIENTIST. WILL SEMI FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED, THREE BOTTLES
OH YDISCOvEREDREM-
EDIES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.


EDiES TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more JOY to the afflicted,
thanzthe offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of
1888 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make its great
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this 'new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be durable disease beyond any doubt,
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes-
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late Address
7. A. Slocum M. c., 9S Pine street, New
York, and when writing the Doctor, please
give express and post office address, and
mention reading this article in The Mid
land Journal.

ON ACcUMULATING MONEY.
The lest Place to Begin, Mr. GOzzle-
by Thinks, Is Right Where
Man Is.

why, say" said Mr.. Gozzleby, the
more | think of it the more. | think
that the place for q man to begin is
going west, or going south, or going
any other place, is going to-keep him
unless he's got it in him. Even in fast
growing places with a tremendous
boom on, the bulk of the people work
for days wages, just as they do here;
the people there don't all get rich, by
long shot, and the comparatively few
that accumulate wealth get it by the
exercise of the same qualities that
command wealth everywhere, namely,
ability to recognize opportunities and
promptness to seize them.
Opportunities exist everywhere,
but the number of really great oppor-
tunities is always proportionately
small. and these are always taken up
by the men who have not only brains
but courage. Luck may strike man
occasionally, but the chances are mil
lions to enc against it, and it never
strikes man who waits for it. Money,
of course, gives man greatly added
power; the rich man can seize oppor-
tunities that the poor man can't
touch. But pretty much all the rich
men in this country were once poor
They made the money themselves, as
every man has the right to do for him
self. 1t may be put in here that it is
mighty good thing for man to have
few hundred dollars laid by; it may
come handy any time. Get ahead
little.
"As to the place to begin there is
none any better than right where a
man is. He sees the difficulties there,
familiar as he is with his surroundings,
but it's just the same fifty miles or
thousand miles west. There, where
everything is new to him, the condi-
tions might seem easier and more ia
vorable, but in reality they are just
the same: the great majority of men
there are plugging away for mere en-
istence, and here. as in his own town,
the men who are making the money
are the men of brains and courage and
enterprise and frugality.
I'm other words, 1t is not the place,
but the man himself, that counts.
Any place will do; the great thing is
to make the beginning."-N. Y. Sun.

TRUE CHIvALRY.
The Real Hero of Chapultepcc, WILL
liam s. Walker, and His Mag
unanimous Act.

The war with Mexico is a part of
our martial history. Taylor and Scott
and Davis and Lee came out of it i'm
mortal. The epic of that great strug-
gle was the storming of Chapultepec.
That frowning fortress was the Glib
raltar of Mexico. Its massive walls
seemed impregnable. But American
daring halted at no obstacles, and an
intrepid band of volunteers was chosen
to scale and assault it, says the Chi
cago Journal.
Among the first of the daurtless few
who braved their way through shot
and she'll 10 the fortress on that dread
full day was young Mississippian,
handsome as Alcibiades, proud, con-
fident and thrilling with patriotic fer
vor. He was among the first, if not
the first, to scale the wall, and, sword
in hand, dashed along that storm
swept rampant in advance of all his
fellows to cut down the waving flag
of the enemy and reap the immortality
of the deed. He was the first to reach
the flag; his sword was raised, when
he heard swift footsteps behind him.
He paused, turned and saw his COM
manding officer, to whom he was ten
DERBY attached and deeply obligated.
And thea this gallant Mississipppian.
without moments hesitation, with
the bow of a Chesterfield, lowered his
sword and with the point at rest stood
aside while his friend and command
ing officer cut down the flag of Mexico
and was bulletined for the laurels of
that splendid day.
In the history of battles there was
never more gallant, more chivalric
deed than that. And the real hero of
Chapultepec, MANNED and gray, but
glorious still, sits just before me here
tonight in the person of my noble and
beloved friend. Gen. William S. Walker,
CT Atlanta.

Gen. Grants Bakery.

When Gen. Grant was quartermas-
ter in Mexico during our war with that
country he distinguished himself by
establishing a bakery, which not only
furnished wholesome bread for bis
command, but added materially to the
regimental fund. Gen. Brooke, at
Camp Thomas, has followed this illus
trious example, and established a
bakery which has an output Of $4,000
loaves every "a hours, and employs $50
men night and day. Since the bakery
has been in operation every man at
Camp Thomas has received loaf of
fresh bread every day. The bread Is
of very fine quality and wholesome

In making frills out of goods that

every figure running the same way;

HOW TO MAKE AND ARRANGE
FRILLS.

If you do rot care to head them with
lace, hem the top and bottom, making
the top hem much the narrower, and
gather. Gather them with the fingers
and stroke every stitch. This makes
&hem much daintier than being gath
cred by machine. Divide the frills into
four parts, sticking pin at each quar-
ter, and treat the skirt or waist in the
same way. Sew quarter of the frill
on to a quarter of the skirt or waist
and you will find that when complete
the gathers will be evenly distributed
and will set gracefully upon their
foundation.
Frills put on In fancy design can be
treated in the same way and. after this
method is once tried, you will never
vary from it.
