Dresses for Brides
And Bridesmaids
By the Worlds Queen Of
DreSSmdkerS.

In preparing for the unique
event that occasions this announcement.
our representative went to Madame
Havet, whom we believe to have no equal
in the designing of just such dainty
gowns as a bride and her retinue de
mand. We gave her carte blanche to
produce her ideal of what gowns should
be worn by an Autumn bride and four
bridesmaids.
She chose, as a theme, "a Chateau
Wedding" in France. And there TIE
chateau is the mansion-the apartments
of the most wealthy in Paris are u1ere
stopping places for the Winter in the
city. And so the fashionable wedding
occurs at the chateau before going
back to the metropolis.
Today the gowns are on display on
a special stage built out over the Ro-
tunda from the second floor, showing the
bridal party approaching the nave OF
the church for the ceremony.
The picture is full of sentiment The
dresses sparkle with inspiration. II is
one of the years notable achievements
in exhibitions of dress.

OLD AND NEW WAY
i1yomc the Latest Scientific Ciscov-
cry for the Cure Of Catarrh.

The discovery of Hyomei has wrought
wonderful change in the treatment oil
catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
ones ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the i'm
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a bal
samic air that goes to the minutest
cells. eftectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh. 1t enters the
blood with the oxygen. killing the
germs in the blood, and restores health
to the whole system. Many astonish-
ing testimonials have been received
from those who have been cured by
Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs but s1.00, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi-
cient Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that Bowdtch G. Webster and Percy
w. Means have so much faith in Hy-
omei that they sell every package I'M
der a positive guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use of
Hyomei.
