II will be news to you. but its truth you

A skirt in sheer cotton Is ruffed to the

that the skirt Is cut very long. and Is filled
like a sheath above the knees.

There is a new treatment for the white
feather boa. the one that is soiled and a lit

and for this purpose a dye exactly the

In a fashionable restaurant this noon I
saw a girl whose name fills the society

At the appearance of the first symptom
of kidney trouble, Peruna should be
taken. This remedy strikes at once the
very root of the disease. 1t at once re-
Iieyes the catarrhal kidneys of the stag

serum from the blood. Peruna stimu-
lates the kidneys to excrete from the
blood the accommodating poison, and thus
prevents the commissions which are sure
to follow if the pOisons are allowed to
remain. 1t gives great vigor to the
hearts action and digestive system, both
of which are apt to fail rapidly in this
disease.
