TSHE woman who travels continually.

ly hazards her health. The nervous ex-
citement Of catching trains, hurrying here and
there, sleeping in cold beds and hastily eating
lily prepared meals will even break down the
health of the strongest man. The highly sen
sitive organism Of woman needs much leisure
and quiet, plenty of sleep and the proper nutri-
mept or the debt will be paid by continual
menstrual suffering and early grave.
There are thousands of women like Miss
Marion A. Gibson of Al Hoyt Street. Brooklyn,
N. Y. who go into business and travel a great
deal of their time. These women know full
well the trials they undergo. Out on the road
they do not have tho opportunity TO for
themselves they would have at home. Miss
Gibson uses Wine of Cardui and keeps in perfect
health despite the Inconvenience and dangers of
travelling. She is the secretary of the Metarie
Literary Club of Brooklyn, N. Y, and her letter
is the experience of highly intelligent woman
and will be gladly received by her unfortunate
sisters who need the competent advice she
gives. She writes:

THE ROYAL ROBES.
Historic Regalia Will Be Worn by Ed
ward VII.

One of the most picturesque features of
the coronation of King Edward will be his
appearance in the coronation robes of Ed
ward the Confessor, his famous predecessor
on the throne of Great Britain. They will
be worn by him during the impressive
ceremony Of amounting and crowning. and
the administering of the holy communion
to the king by the venerable Archbishop of
Canterbury, Frederick Temple.
The state regalia will come into play in
the same features of the function. The
large crown used is that of st. Edward.

Confessor by Sir Robert Vyner, royal gold
smith to Charles IL. 1t is the official crown
of England. The orb of dominion, bearing
the jeweled cross. is the emblem of the
world dominated by Christianity, and is
borne by the king as defender Of the faith.
The sword of state is next in Importance,
and is a venerable weapon. Next is the
royal scepter, surmouuted by the Maltese
cross of the crusade. The ampulla, or
sacred ointment jar, surmounted by a gol-
den eagle, contains the cream with which
the king is anointed, and the long gold
spoon which bears it from the ampulla to

Flounces and Tucks.

F1ounces are made in various ways. Some
times they take almost the form Of three
skirts; occasionally they are narrow and
relegated to the hem. Many skirts are
trimmed with box plaits all round. bodice
and skirt alike.
Tuckings are fashionable treatment and
are employed both horizontally and per-
pendicularly. A very smart effect is pro-
duced by colored chou introduced on to
the front of the bodice. On neutral tinted
dresses this gives very desirable touch
Of color.

The Wash Petticoat
What a vast amount of admiration,
needle work and hard money Is being
spent on the gay wash petticoat. The white
underskirt with its pretty embroidered
flowers, is not nearly good enough for the
hundred and one women who want color;
consequently we had counters full of ging-
ham, percale, lawn, pongee, wash madras,
wash mohair and dimity petticoats, rang
ing in price from one dollar and a half to
fifteen, twenty-five and thirty dollars.
Those at the first mentioned price are good
enough and pretty enough for a queen.
They are tucked and abundantly fiounced
and well cut: the expense of the others lies
in their shaped fiounces of imported French
gingham, encrusted with motifs of Irish
point, or they are hand made, and the
fiounces are decorated with flights of hand
embroidered butterflies and trails of field
flowers in their natural colors. Such skirts
are for use under duck and linen gowns
and for all but evening costumes The
wash petticoats have routed the summer
silk skirt. In the evening, when the col

white lawn affair is assumed. or a sweet

the starch beautifully and form the most
buoyant foundations for silk, muslin or
lace gowns.
For Fashionable Babies.
Again we see welI-dressed little girls
wearing white stockings with their plain
cotton and linen gowns. Evidently there
are mothers who approve Of this mode,
though not yet do we see any but the
merest babies who wear the white hose

foot covering for little maids in short and
very much frilled skirts. Wide fringed
satin surah and satin taffeta sashes are the
girdles most esteemed at summer afternoon
parties whereat embroidered Swiss muslin
continues to be the most modish toilet. A
captivating needleworked muslin tea party
frock is illustrated. The yoke of the waist
is spangled with white dots and the base
of the yoke and edge thereof, the edges of
the 1ounces and the sleeves, are enriched
with a needleworked finish in Louis XVI
pattern, instead Of plain scallops.
Quite the most recent outburst of infantile
gorgeousness is evinced by the costly and
beautiful white embroidered Swiss muslin
