An EXCELLENT COMBINATION.
Successful Enterprise Based on Merit.
THE IMPORTANCE OF INFORMING Til PUBLIC
OF II VALUE OF AN ARTICLE THROUGH
THE LEADING NEWSPAPERS.

The.fe remedies which have attained
to worldwide fame, as truly beneficial
in effect and giving satisfaction to mill
ions Of people everywhere, are the pro-
ducts of the knowledge of most eminent
physicians, and presented in the form
most acceptable TO the humane system
10y the skill of the worlds great chem
lists; and one OF the most successful ex-
ainples is the Syrup OF Figs nlanuia, :
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.
Unlike a host of limitations and cheap
substitutes, Syrup OF Figs is permanent
w beneficial in its effects, and therefore
lives and promotes good health, while
inferior preparations are being cast
aside and forgotten. In olden times If a
remedy gave temporary relief to indi
viduals here and there. it WAS thought
good but nowadays y laxative rem
edy must give satisfaction to all. II you
ha We never used Syrup OF Figs, give it
a trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends or
to any who suffer from constipation, or
from over-feeding or from colds, head
aches, billiousness or other ills resulting
from an inactive condition OF ,heh kid
news, liver and bowels.
In the PROCESS and manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
| California Fly Syrup Co., aud named
Syrup OF Figs. figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste but the medicinal
proprieties OF the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of plants
known to be incidentally laxative and to
act most benefcially. AS the true and
original remedy, named Syrup OF Figs,
is manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only, n knowledge of that fact
will assist in avoiding. the worthless imi-
tations manufactured by other parties.
The Company has selected for years past
the leading publications. of the United
States throu h which to inform the pub
lc OF the merits Of its remedy, and
among them the DIsPATCH is included
as will he seen hy references to its ad-
yerlising columns.

'ha' VIII 20 uOWn IN history as being the
woman who took the fret step to make
New York the centre OF fashion.
II a Modish had the power that Mrs.
Bradley Martin has to make such thing
possible. it would have been accomplish
ed long ago. But, go long as it be done,
what matter who does it?
As an example Of the adaptability Of
the art OF the American dress maker let
me refer to the frocks that Maude Adams
wears as'Juliet. / hear that they cost
the designer many long and anxious
moments to think them out, and it took
months for their execution; but the
time was well spent.
The first gown, which Miss Adams
wears in the ballroom scene, has stole
like arrangement that falls in long
straight lines in the front and 10 the
back, from the shoulder to the foot OF
Miss Adams 1.-the figure. This stole is
embroidered with large pearls in bold
design. So closely is it sewn with the
pearls that it seems to form a soft,
sheepy macs Of jewels. The underskirt
is OF shimmery white Liberty gauze, cut
out and appliqued also in large desig n
on some thin white fabric--I could not
tell just what-but the whole effect is de
liciously dainty and girlish despite its
touch Of regalness which BELTS her rank
as Capulet.
The second dress is cream. colored
Renaissance lace worn over a slip oil
cloth Of gold. The skirt is quite plain
and the bodice has deep band-about
ten inches wide-of cloth.of-gold, that
encircles the waist. heavily embroidered
in turquoise. Above this band the
bodice is Of lace, transparent and color.
less. The sleeves are of lace over the
cloth of gold. and just above the elbow
there is band similar to the band on
the bodice-cloth of.gold embroidered in
turquoise, About her throat Miss
Adams wears a slender gold chain strung
with large turquoises.
The third gown has the same stole
effect as the first, the stole being done
ia white lowered crepe de Chine, lined
with pink and outlined with a gold band
about two inches wide. prefusely studded
with coral. The underskirt is of pink
covered with white net. with a deep
flounce Of point lace.
When Juliet hurries to Friar Laur.
ence's cell she throws about her one OF the
most artistic cloaks have seen in many
a Gay. Apparently it is camel's hair
shawl fecked with tiny spangles. which
repeat the color Of whatever background
they find themselves upon; for instance
a design in blue has blue spangles. de.
sign in black has black spapgles, and &C
on. The shawl is drsped and caughS to
gether with huge antique clasp Of In
dian workmanship. When Miss Adams
throws this cloak about her it falls IN
surprisingly graceful folds and harmon.
ICES deliciously with the pink nj the
dress beneath.
In the last act, when poor Juliet liet
in state, with two candles burning at hel
head, her shroud is Of white chiffon
lined with some soft white etuff that
does not destroy any Of it's clipgingness
The straight, plain lines that suggest 9
winding sheet are most artisticslly con
ceived, and as she lies there the picture
that che makes 90 fills the eye that il
seems indeed thousand pities that she
must awake only to sleep the long sleep
