The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-11-29

WRITTEN FOR HI SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
In these latter DAYS the young miss is
quite as much a factor in society as are
her elders.
The young scions OF the great social
leaders have their own little coteries.
where fads and functions are conducted
with rigid regard to, all that is correct in
every respect.
They have their little luncheoa 1~arti,s.
their matinee parties. their Juvenile recep-
tons and their dancing cllssa:. all OF
which they attend with just as much 2est
as though they were entirely grown up
and aunched into tie whirl o1 lie social
world.
And in their own little world. a world
i'll miniature, there are as many joys and
sorrows. as many heart burnings and tri-
umpfs, as many failures and successes, as
obtain among the Erown-up p~ersonages
and the serious things of life.
OF curse her wardrobe is an all-absurb-
ing subject TO the future society belle. and
nowadays her needs and requirements, her
fads and fancies are catered to with as
much attention to detail as is bestowed
upon the gorgeous costumes of the queens
Of the stage or the ballroom.
SERIES OF NOVELTIES
FOR HER DELEGATION.
Not only are specia! designs evolved for
the young miss, hut whole fashion pub
locations are devoted to designing a con-
tinuous stream of novelties FOX her delcc-
tation.
And very appropriately, the prime requi-
site in all OF these is that they shall look
simple and girlish in every detail and re-
spect.
The material may be-and. for that mat
ter. really is-far more rich and elab-
crate than what her mother wore at the
same age, but some simple. girlish outline
Is the one thing that is imperative. anu
that every clever mother insists shall
characterize every garment in the ward
robe Of her young daughter.
Dress and the fashions nave always
been large factors i'll woman's life. but
The girl of to-day knows far more of her
own possibilities in the way of good looks
and artistic dressing than her mother did.
Should the prevailing fashion be one
that is not altogether becoming to her she
does not hesitate to modify i; materially
to make 1t meet her requirements. or else
she rejects il entirely.
To-day every girl who knows herself
has; the courage of her own convictions,
and it is her constant aipa-and endeavor
10 make her clothes EXPRESS something of
her own individuality.
Everything is done nowadays for the
rirlish charm. ana right in line with this
idea are tho ver~ dressy and fluffy styles
shown in all IT the new gowns.
SOME OF THE
MOST STYLISH FRILLS.
There are frills and nounces. and puffs
and pipings and pendants. and capes and

sisners have moved the calendar along a
bit and included several little hints aud
scraps which more properly belong to the
era of the late sixties. Thus we see pei
crimes and victorines of fur, showing the
little scant silk plaitings which belong to
the later period.
Although these little silk frills are looked
upon with some degree of favor. there is
a far wider acceptance for the handsome
chenille fringes as a trimming for furs:
and there is a something in the chenille
which tones in we'll with the fur tints and
texture.
In the new fad for moleskin. there has
been produced a chenille fringe which
matches the tint and texture of the fur to
so close a degree that the many pendants
and fringed edges look as though FASH

Hand embrOideries and
dainty stitcheries are at the
height of their vogue. and
buttons have a more promi-
nent place assigned to them
as trimming effects in each
new design.
And speaking of buttons
brings to mind the tremen-
dous liking for anything and
everything which, even re
mOtely, suggests the military
or an army uniform.

lettes and capes. any or oil of
these may be used, singly or
in combination on one gar
ment.
Very appropriately. cadet
blue and gray are the favored
tints for these military coats
and wraps, and the best of
these show a cape set on over
a loosely fitting coat.

Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.

has been a real blessing to our home, and
while it is not liking cure-all"' as some
one quantity puts it, it is a wonderful
medicine In 1901 there was an epidemic
of typhoid fever in this village-two of
our boys (aged and years respectively
were. stricken We gave the Remedy
three times daily, doubling or treblng
the dose when the temperature went be-
low normal No other stimulant was used
Patients were dieted and nursed carefully
and though one of them was very sick, a
physician was called in only four times
in the fourteen weeks. The after effect
was splendid, each patient rapidly gained
strength and within two weeks after leav-
ing his cot, was able to go to the Sunday
school We owe much to Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy.
About four years ago scrofulitis devel-
oped in one of our children (nether of the
above). The childs life was despaired of
for long while, the mere touching Of the
affected limb producing agony. After four
months of lowering, apparently over the
brink of the grave, we began to use Mrs
Joe Persons Remedy with the consent Of
our physician. Slowly the blood began
large as an egg passed down the leg, stop
piRg above the knee. The doctor lanced
the place, then came no more. This open
ing remained for two years, during which
time both Wash and Remedy were daily
used, the boy growing hearty and healthy.
At the end of this time he began to try
to walk Walked on "all fours'' for
year, then on his feet for the past year
But he had grown crooked-pitifully so.
Had him examined by one of Richmond,
Vas best physicians, who said he was
lin splendid condition, and would only
need mechanical treatment- Until / get
him straight continue to give him the
medicine he has been taking" This was
DONE and in January the little fellow went
to the Retreat for the sick, Richmond,
Va, for this mechanical treatment. In
April he returned to Hasty straight. In
all these years not one drop of medicine
except Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. AS a
blood purifier its value is Tin my opinion)
priceless. / cannot, in view of all it has
done for US, withhold this testimony.
