The NEW BABY

Opens up newe world to the loving
mother. If it is strong, healthy baby
that new world is world of happiness.
If it is weak, fretfu1 child the new
world is full of anxiety. 1t has been
proven in thousands of cases, that the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton makes all the difference between
strength and weakness in children
Healthy, happy mothers have healthy,
happy children. vFavorite Prescrip-
ton gives the mother strength to give
her child. 1t makes the baby's advent
practically painless and promotes the
secretion of the nourishment necessary
to the healthIu1 feeding of the nursing
child.

scriptlon and can say it is just what you adver-
tlse it to be-" writes Mrs. Victor !. Hadin, OF
Leonardsville, Riley Co, Kansas. RI began
taking it just two months before baby came
and was greatly benefited by its use. The doc
tor who attended ME said l did about well as
any one he had seen las sick only about
three hours, and also that your Favorite Pre-
scription was one patent medicine which he
did have faith in. We now have a darling baby
boy, strong and healthy, who weighed nine
pounds when born. During this month he has
gained three and one-ha1f pounds. Have never

The house once owned and occupied
by Washington Irving at Irvington,

Jr. The place has changed little in
appearance since Irving occupied it..
except that three-story brick house
has been built on the premises. The
grounds consist of nine acres, run

aqueduct.
On each recurring anniversary of
the death of Lord Byron an 'In Me-
noriam" notice commemorative of
the poets demise is printed in the
London Times. 1t appears that a fem

queathed a sum of money have a
wreath of Marechal Mel roses placed
at the foot of his statue in Hamilton
gardens each year and to pay for the
annual insertion of the advertisement
referred to until such time as the au-
thorities of Westminster Abbey shall

scrlbed in the poets corner.

Opera cloaks and, in fact, evening
wraps OF all descriptions, are gar
ments that appeal most strongly to all
women who love beautiful materials.
rich laces, furs. etc. for in these same
cloaks and capes there is an opportun
ity not to be found elsewhere to COM
bine the most superb of brocades with
priceless laces and rare furs. There is
positively no limit that can be placed
as to the cost, but the beauty Of color
ings, the luxurious and regal effect
goes far to reconcile even the econom-
ically minded individual with the sum
that has been expended. Dame Fash
ion holds out one loophole as regards
this particular garment by not laying
down any rigorous law as to what
material shall be used, and from year
to year there is not the same changes
of style as In any and every other de-
tail Of the feminine wardrobe. So
