Travelling Gowns.

Gowns for travelling and street wear
made of foulard (Which Is still in high
vogue) are far ahead of those OF bril-
liantine or mohair, as they are equally
durable, more congenial to the touch,
resist damp or salt air and shed dust
as well. For ordinary wear they are
cheaper than any Of the dainty mus
Inns as they do not have to be laun'
dered, and can be worn even on cere-
monious occasions. They are, however.
mostly made on the smart shirt waist
model, and elaborated as desired by
quantities of lace and ribbons, espe-
cially those in the light designs with
plenty of white in the ground, the dark
foulards being selected for travelling.
The old or standard designs (w9'ch
never 20 out of fashion, can be had
cheaper than the new designs.

POEMS WORTH READING.
THE HEART OF THE HILLS.

There's wonderful country lying
Far off from the noisy town,
Where the wind flower swiDgs
And the veery sings
And the tumbling brooks come down:
IT'S land of light and OF aughter,
Where peace all the woodland fills;
'Tis the land that lies
Meath the summer skies,
In the heart of the happy hills.
The road to that wonderful country
Leads out from the gates of care;
And the tired feet
In the dusty street
Are longing to enter there
And voice from that land is calling,
In the rush of thousand rllls,
Come away, away,
To the woods to-day,
To the heart of the happy hills.
Far away in that wonderful country
Where the clouds are always blue,
In the shadows cool
By the foaming pool,
We may put on strength anew.
We may drink from the magic fountains
Where the wine of life d!stllls;
And never care
Shall find US there,
In the heart OF the happy hills.

When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, oisfguring hu-
mours of the skin, scalp and blood,
becomes an object Of the most tender
solicitude, not only because Of its suffer-
ing, but because Of the dreadful fear
that the designation is to be lifelong

mothers of such afflicted children to &C
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications Of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticurs Resolvent, to
cool the blood in the severer cases, &c
all that Can be desired for the speedy
relief and permanent cure OF skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions Of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, scalp, hair and hands, for annoy.
ing irritations and weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

room, they would re-furnish the din

needed at this time. Therefore, the

their friends who contributed to their

MEADOW CITY HAPPENINGS
Last NIGHTS Dance.

A goodly crowd boarded the trolley
cars for the Hot Springs between
5 and $50 O'Clock last evening. There
was some unavoidable delay in getting
started, but finally the first car, full
OF band boys and youthful enthusiasm,
led ont, and the band struck up a two
step.
The big combination car, filed to
Overlooking with a jolly crowd, left
some envious hearts in its wake as 1T
rolled away on its hve-mile trip. The
town people were joined in the casino
by quite d party OF guests from the
hotel.
AS all lined up In the grand march
the sight was full Of promise for a
delightful evening. The time passed
quickly enough. and soon the hour for
refreshments had arrived. Manager
| Talbot had prepared his part Of the
program in keeping with expectation,
and the crowd did justice to the ex-
%cellent repast.
Then the band boys went back 20
their places, and the strains OF a waltz
recalled the dancers to the last half
OF the evenings pleasure. Just before
t"Home, Sweet Home" the thanks Of
the band were extended the dancers
for their presence at this, the boys
first dance. With the hope that they
would overlook the imperfections IN
the music, the promise Of better things
at their next dance was expressed.
A little after 1880 the crowd hurried
down the hill for the choice seats, and
we're soon ready for the homeward
trip. An apparently unnecessary de-
lay taxed the patience OF the party
and when they finally got under way
q few, at least, were thinking how
soon morning would uvertake ant
remind them that life Is real, life is
