FEMININE FRiLLS.
New Notions That Are Noticed In the
Latest Costumes for the Ladies.


Latest Costumes for the Ladies'.
The modistes have not planned for
amateur workers this season. Pufiings
and shirring and fine work on chiffon
are to be seen in everything. The
necks of some gowns are filled in with
the finest shirred chiffon and chiffon
ruf1ies are ruf1led again with chiffon,
or finished with little double putfs. A
pretty reception gown of silk has chif-
fou sleeves putfed the full length, and
a tiny double ruffle or puff edges the
front panel and runs around the bot
tom of the skirt. The chiffon appears
on the gown in no other place. These
little finishes of chiffon are very
pretty around the skirts of gowns.
There are few kinds of trimming
that are not to be seen this year, and
much of the trimming runs around
the skirts and bodces bayadere fash
ion. Embroidery is always charming,
and a pretty little gown of white chif-
fon made over white silk has rows of
embroidery in white around the skirt
and the little, full, round bodice, alter
mating with tiny ruflles of the chiffon,
and covering it entirely. 1t is very
girlish and pretty.
A striking gown which brings out
the popular chenille and the polka dot
effect has big chenille dots on a gown
of pretty pattern of coarse, white
net. Black and white are seen on a
gown which has the white for Il fOun-
dation, some pretty, thin material, the
skirt ruffied half way up and the re-
MIL rrraIna+a +aI
bands of black velvet ribbon perhaps
two inches wide at the head of the
ruffles and growing smaller gradually
up to the waist, where they increase
IL width again up to the lOw-cut cor
sage.
Entire gowns of yellow and orange
are seen for evening, and these colors
form parts of other gowns. There is
more embroidery to be seen in yell
low gown, over which is white chiffon
with tiny yellow flowers embroidered
upon it in soft silk.
The bias bands of velvet lend them
selves to the crinlled ruffled effects to
be seen in so many things. In one cos
tune the overskirts and panels are
outlined with bias bands of velvet ruff
fled on, or, it may be more appropri-
ately said, held a little full in the sew
ing. so that it has the effect Of a very
scant ruffle set into the edge.
The tiny rutlles of chiffon. which are
not finished with ruffles, and even
some which are, are edged with tiny
bands of ribbon or velvet. On a pink
gown the many ruffles of chiffon are
edged with narrow pink velvet with a
soft and attractive effect.-N. y.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot feac~
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that IS
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
t,is tube gets infamed you have a rumDlng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it i
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

AT THE FAMILY BOARD.

Don't bring worries to the table,
Don't bring anger, hate or scowls;
Danish everything unpleasant,
Talk and eat with smiling jowls.
II will aid your own digestion,
If you wear a smiling face;
1t will jolly up the others,
f you only set the pace.
Knowing something funny, tell 1t;
Something sad, forget to knell II;
Something hateful, quick dispel 1t
At the table.
Cares domestic, business troubles.
Ills of body, soul or BRAIN
Unkind thoughts and nagging tempers,
Speech that causes Others pain,
Public woes ard grim disasters,
Crimes and wrongs and rights defeat
Let them all go to the wind
When you sit you down to eat.
Knowing something funny, tell It;
Something sad, forget TO knell it;
Something hateful, quick dispel it
At the table.
You may breathe pious blessing.
Over viands rich and good;
But blessing with long faces
Won't assimilate your food;
While a meal of bread and herring,
With a glass of water clear,
Is a feast If It's accompanied
With the blessing of good cheer.
Knowing something funny, tell II;
Something sad, forget to knell IT;
Something hateful, quick dIspel II
At the table.
