appearance again among all toilettes and the centuries insist that it's popularity is on the increase. The new feature about the empire gown Is that it boasts a tunic this season, or if the tunic is not there in re- ality. 1t is counterfeited by all sorts of clever arrangements of pretty trimmings.
 Appliques of lace are very much in evil dence on these ball gowns, and they are often enriched by being spangled with 6trass or the patterns traced in stones. Chenille and fur. too, play important roles among the trimmings.
 Cloth which holds a preference over velvet or silk this season for the dressing toilettes has even been adopted for the ball gowns. One model that was exceedingly rich was of brocaded ivory cloth with the design darned in n-gold threads.
 Bah Gown
 gown built of liberty satin in a soft new quality called "Oriental' was rather bluish white in tint. The skirt was close fitting at the top and had no fullness at the waistband in the back Around the bottom 1t boasted quite flare. It was covered all over with butter-colored guipure, leaving only pointed yoke of the plain satin. Over the guipure there was appliqued a swirling pattern in chenille. The corsage of the satin was close-fitting. It was covered with a sort or culrdSS or the Sulpure that con- tinued in point over the skirt back and front. In crossing over the shoulders slight points dropped over the arm, giving the ef- feet of tiny sleeves. The ceinture was draped affair of amethyst velvet.
 A ball gown designed for one of this sea- sons buds was minus the usual train. It was built of a very Shimmery quality of pale yellow taffeta powdered closely with tiny dots of deeper yellow. The skirt was composed of three frills Zen forme" of the taffeta slashed at the front and bordered with flame colored chenille. Over the silk were appiqued pale yellow velvet roses with the petals in relief
 The corsage of the silk was plain and close fitting at the back, and at the front was cut away to show quite an expanse of vest. This was composed of narrow bands of tucked pale yellow satin and gufpure entre-deux. Falling over the vest at each side were points of pale yellow satin that gave a sort of bolero effect. These were ornamented with tiny amber buttons and were outlined with narrow gold braid. Two rows of the flame colored chenille bordered each side of the vest.
 Pretty Sleeves
 The sleeves were composed of two snort full frills of pale yellow chiffon. Flame coored velvet was employed for the mar row draped ceinture. There was bril- liancy and air of dash about this gown that suggested a Spanish cenorita. Strange enough it had been designed for Spanish heiress who has made the journey from ChiIi for Parisian trousseau.

eeinture at the front of the corsage and extending over the shoulders were attached to the ceinture at the back. They were ar ranged so as to hide the hollows over the collar bones, and served too as support for the short puffed sleeves that never could have remained intact without their aid. Not that the puffs were sewed to the bre- telles for there was an intervening space of several inches through which the neck was visible The connection was wrought with three small gold chais attached to gold brooches The brooches were caught through the bretelles and the chains with tiny clasps attached clasped the tops of the puffs and held them in place. Along the bust line back and front there was trim ming of heavy gilt passementerie. The ceinture was of pale rose gauge. It was knotted at the left side and the ends reached to the bottom of the gown.
 It is marvellous to see how successfully the couturiers cover glove fitting satin gown with a tight yelling of the sheerest tulle. Trimmed with applique of lase the effect is stunning.
 Satin Gown
 A ball gown after this style was of cream satin. The skirt fitted like glove in the upper part and began to flare considerably about half way down. It was covered plain. with the sheerest tulle Cream guipure was appliqued on in the form of tunic that was cut away at the front. Two full ruches of the tulle followed the line of the tunic and a third ruche gave a finish to the bottom of the skirt.
 The corsage was of the satin covered with the tulle and gupure. It was cut square necked and opened over a vest of gathered tulle. Two rows of the ruching followed the dges of the vest and joined line with the ruches on the skirt to give g princess effect. The ceinture was of broad coral vel vet ribbon. It was ornamented with a Srass buckle at the front and was tied at the back with long loops and ends reach ing to the bottom of the gown. The sleeves were short puffs of the tulle covered satin.

 COLUMBUS. OHIO, April 16, 1897. The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co.,:
 Gentlemen-I have been afflicted with disease, commonly known as Ia grippe, covered. I have tried many remedies without success. This spring was 1n- duced to try bottle of Fortuna. I have now taken two bottles and have re- ceived much benefit therefrom. In fact, all symptoms of the disease seem to have left me. Therefore, cheerfully recommend the virtues of Pe-ru-na.
 Josiah B. Allen.
 La grippe has been justly called "The Scourge of the Closing Years of the Nineteenth Century" This disease runs course of very uncertain duration and ana plorabie condition. It weakens the nerve centers, it impoverishes the blood, disturbs the circulation, clogs up the ex- cretory ducts, and depresses the whole vital system. There are thousands upon thousands of people in this condition as the result of la grippe. Pe-ru-na cures la grippe.
 As to the after-effects of Ia grippe, so with the acute stages, Pe-ru-na is spe- cific. It seems to be thoroughly adapted to this disease in all its phases. A great many letters are received by Dr. Hart man every year in which Fortuna is ex- tolled by the people as being. prompt and reliable cure for la grippe. La grippe is in reality 8 catarrhal disease. It would be properly named acute epi- demic catarrh. A few specimens of the letters received by Dr. Hartman on this subject will be given:
