It's sufferers know pretty well
when TO expect the next attack.
Its permanent cure depends up
on the correction Of that habit

hold at Vienna in September, 1892 He
says: a special effort Will BIZ made to
have as the principal figure of this ex-

Duchess Trouble.

The duchess of Fife is one of the
most quiet and retiring of all the
king of England's daughters. She
takes the greatest interest in the
bringing up of her little daughters.
Some years since society was very
much disturbed by the case of lit
tie child of high birth, who was ac-
cidentally found to be covered with
bruises inflicted by a brutal nurse.
The duchess of Fife said to lady
who was visiting her: mo nurse
would be able to systematically
bruise my children's bodies, for not
many days go by that I do not battle
them myself" The lady misunder-
stood and remarked: "Do you trou-
BILE to stay in the nursery to watch
their toilets?" 81 did not say I
watch" said the duchess, emphatic
ally. 81 said battle them myself

There it commences to grow, by put
ting out innumerable delicate roots
that look like small streams of pitch
flowing down around the tree trunk.
When they reach the ground they be-
gin to harden and spread wider and
wider, throwing out side branches,
which run together and unite, until the
whole tree is bound with series of ir-
regular living bands. The bark be-
tween them bulges out and tries to
overlap, but the clusia prevents this
by making its roots more numerous
and wide.
AS the tree becomes more tightly
bound its leaves begin to fall, and
finally it is strangled to death After
a few years ii rots to the ground, leav-
ing only the clusia's column of tangled
roots to mark the place where it stood.

Increasing Popularity
of Taffeta SIX,

90 MANY taffeta silks are being
- made up for summer wear that
they promise to be the common.
est thing in the whole realm of fash.
ion, and the women who are ever
looking for something out of the or.
dinary are seeking newer and less
common material that will answer
the same purpose as the taffetas.
That does not mean that taffetas
will cease to be fashionable before
the season is over. Such thing is
not possible, for Dame Fashion has
ceased following the caprices and
whims of few leaders, and caters
more to the favor of the many, and
the many, very many, will wear taf-
fetas.
For early summer wear black taf.
feta is proving a leader, and gowns
of this are very much in vogue at
the present time. They are either
tailor-made or in more dressy vari-
cites, one of which is tucked so that
the tucks meet in points on the skirt
above deep circular founce tucked
down vertically a few inches from
the top, and finished with fancy
silver and black silk braid. Pointed
| lines of tucks meet at the seams in
the Eton jacket, the edges are fin.
ished with stitched band and the
collar and cuffs are trimmed with the
braid.
Some of the little silk jackets are
slashed from the bust down on either
side of the front and laced across
with black silk cord. Another fea
ture of the seasons jackets is the
little cloth bolero to wear with the
foulard silk gown. Although II is
very short it is considered suffi.
cient wrap to wear with this kind OF
gown, and the cloth must match the
prevailing color in the gown.
There are boleros without end
both for indoor and outdoor wear,
and some of the latter show the
round military collar. Black ant
white foulard gowns trimmed with
lace insertions are very stunning
with either a black or a white clott
bolero. SARAH DAVIDSON.
