VIOLET ALL THE RAGE.
Tt Is the Perfume of the Season, and
Many Women Have Their own
Special Formula

Violet is the perfume OF the season.
From the tips of her fingers to the
heel of her kid boot the well-groomed
woman suggests this flowers sweet
ness.
IT is quite common for dainty wom-
en- TO have their own individual per-
fume formulated as they fancy it should
be-for there are yioIets and violets.
Some like ONE combination and others
another, 50 ii is easy to take ones per-
fumer into ones confidence and have
secret formula agreed upon. Ever
after that perfume is known by it's
owners name and no one else can steal
its sweetness.
For the bath, dainty femininity has
violetwater, and atfertherubbing deli
cately scented violet powder is used,
and there is violet in the tonic for the
hair. Violet tooth washes are used,
and there are even perfumed bonbons,
while tiny rouge pencil for the lips
is violet scented.
From the walls of a womans ward
robe hang tufted pads breathing BIOS
som whiffs of violets, and every least
nook for feminine finery holds a sug-
gestion of violet fragrance. Tiny
snchet bags are tackled here and there
in the frocks, perfumed flannel goes
in strips into the tailor-made gowns
and in hat Innings, while violet tablets
are tucked into Ascot ties and the glove
palm and loosely thrown into coat
pockets.
Real violets are favored for the cor
sage, and later will be seen on muffs
and boas. A New York perfumer has
so cleverly initiated the Parma violet
that it is really almost impossible to
tell the artificial from the real, and it
is quite good form to wear them.

REJoICED AT Wires DEATH.

The following sent out from New
York recently shows to what extent a
beer and wine drinker will let his pas
sions and prejudices run:
despite the objections OF the mem
bers OF his family, Henry Michael, an
east side merchant, has celebrated his
silver wedding, two years after his
wife's death. It is said his two daugh-
ers appealed to the police, who refused,
however, to interfere.
According to Michael and his
friends, his married life was not hap
py one, so that he decided to celebrate
tbs anniversary in his own way. Eight
hundred guests gathered in hall
rented for the occasion. Seventy-fve
kegs of beer, 1850 bottles OF wine. and
enough chickens, turkeys, fish, soup,
ETC., to satisfy everybody present, we're
served as fast as they could be consum-
ed. and Michael footed the bill OF sew

QUESTION ANSWERED,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought OF using
anything else for Indigestion or BIZ
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the ner-
vous and organic action of the system,
and that Is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses OF
Green's August Flower in liquid form,
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
