The fortunate possessors Of old
paste or quaint antique buttons will
find use for them now, failing which
we have some lovely copies in Partisan
paste.
Lovely is the "empre" dress of white
chiffon, with an overdress of gold or
silver spangles. But, with the eXcep-
tion of the jet, no evening dress seems
complete without beautiful berthe
of Old lace.
The most artistic dining room cur
aims are of art serge or linen plush
falling straight from the pole to just
below the sill, without any attempt at
draping or tying back. They should
be edged with ball fringe of the same
color.
In place of the conventional EN-
broidery and stitching on silk waists
there are to be seen on some of the
new ones cloth applications in curves
Icrescents and cabochons of a different
shade from the silk. Cloth flowers
are also set upon mousseline and gauze
waists.
Many little buckles are employed or
the handsome cloth and velvet gowns
to hold down the bands of trimming
A long, slender buckle is used with
good effect on several of these gowns
directly in front and another in the
back to extend the girdle. These buc
kles add considerably to the waist

Black lace should be sponged with

Sour milk added to the water with

MorId,n TOBACCO Uners.

According to recent statistics the
average consumption of tobacco by
each person in the various countries
is as follows: Netherlands, 3,4Ot
grams; United States, 2,11O; Belgium
1862; Germany, 1885; Australia,
1,4OO; Austria and Hungary, 1850;
Norway, 1885; Denmark, LIPS; Can.
ada, 1850; Sweden, $40; France, 933;
Russia, 01O; Portugal, $50; England
$50; Italy, 635; Switzerland, 61O, and
Spain, $50. Since nearly everyone in
Spain smokes, it may seem surpris
ing that the consumption of tobacco
in that country should be so much
less than in the Netherlands, but the
reason is said to be because Span
iards almost invariably smoke cigar
cites, whereas the dutch almost in
variably smoke pipes.-N. Y. Herald

Catarrh has already become a ma
tional curse. It's rayages extend from
ocean to ocean.
More than one-half of the people are
affected by it. 1t has become such a
serious matter that it has passed the
boundaries of the medical profession
and become a national question. SEN
ators are talking about it; Congress
men are discussing it,
They are not only considering the
extent and chronic nature of the dis
ease, but the possibility of finding ma
tional remedy to meet this national ca
lamity.
The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems
to be the main expectation in this di-
rectiOn.
DIR. Hartman, President of the Hart
man Sanitarium, devised the remedy,
Peruna, over forty years ago, and the
remedy as a catarrh cure has been

growing in favor steadily all these
years.
1t stands to-day before the nation
as a thoroughly tested, accurately ser
entific internal remedy for catarrh.
There are practically no medicinal
rivals in the field.
Peruna is not a local application or
temporary relief; it is permanent
cure. Peruna is a systemic remedy.
1t eradicates catarrh from the sys-
TEN. 1t cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. Its cures are radical and last
ing.
Therefore, Peruna is receiving the
Endorsement of the leading statesmen
and history-makers of the day.

on astrology in the Peruna almanac have
been furnished by very competent astrol-
