The Luxury of Sickness.

1t is almost worth while being sick to
enjoy the delights OF modern medical
pracucc. Champagne is the top-notch
remedy for typhoid fever. and massage
is the only sure cure for muscular rheu-
matism. For bronchial troubles a de-
lightiul spray OF perfumed antiseptics has
been devised. and for insomnia a learned
practitioner has discovered that nothing
is SO good as substantial meal just be-
fore retiring. The fact that reaches,
spiders. rats, snakes. .snails. oyster shells,
gold dust and feas are used IN the COM
pounding OF some prescriptions don't
matter much to man who is kept on a
champagne diet for about six weeks on a
stretch.

Consulted a Specialist.

Governor Smith returned today from
Baltimore, where he went on Saturday.
His visit had no political significance.
He consulted a specialist with reference
to his hearing. which was impaired by
an attack Of grip from which he recently
recovered. The Governor still suffers
occasionally with neuralgia, but the
twinges are not so severe as they have
been. The rest he will obtain during the
intermission will benefit him.

Dreadths are used for tunic and body.
They tell over here of the efforts
made to satisfy certain wealthy Amer
lean girls whose bridal gowns have
been made here this spring. One of
the stories is of the wonderful dress
fashioned for California heiress. a
sweet-faced girl who wanted some
thing entirely new for her wedding
gown. After long consultation they
finally designed dress with point lace
sleeves and yoke, so delicately joined
at the shoulders that there seemed to
be no seam and no break in the pat
atern of the lace.
~ The body was of white satin, very
plain and tight around the waist Be-
low the waist the skirt widened into
very elegant satin tunic, whose long,
narrow points spread over an under
skirt all of point lace, with long
lace train. Underneath all the point
lace there was the most elegant white
satin lining, making a gown that was
a dream in beauty as we'll as in price.
Little wonder that the cost OF the ma
terials was $4,000.

Miss French, the conturieres say. is not

Charm is the word that describes her.

possesses a beautiful figure. All her
dresses are made with soft lines around
the face to take away anything of hard

are made for that London beauty. Miss

Many of the models serve as sugges-
