AMERICAN BEAUTY SHADES.

Immense hats or little toques and
bonnets, such as they wore years
ago, are to be worn this spring The
milliners assure one that American
beauty rose shades are the greatest
favorites among tints and colors, and
then they show one the socalled
American beauty shadcs-all tones OF
rose and red from crimson through
the magenta shades of palest pink.
As a matter of fact in Horticulture,
the American beauty rose has but
one set Of tints, and these all verge
on the purple; it is pink In which
there is a great deal Of mauyc, and
the edges Of the petals are never as
pale as the shade of red which we
commonly call pink" The rose is
distinctly "pastel shade although
not as pale as many of the tints that

BLUE SERGE FASHIONABLE.

Blue serge that NEST faithful ot
materials, is to he fashionable again
this season, and it is not only TO be
found in the big department shops
made up in the inexpensive costumes,
but at the more exclusive private es-
Establishments, where high prices are
asked There is blue serge and blue
serge. and consequently there is n
wide range of choice in the different
weaves of the material as we'll as in
the different styles. The rough welt,
or cord is very smart, but looks al
most too heavy for summer wear.
However, it is being made up into
yachting costumes and into the short
walking gowns that are so fashion
able for the moment.
The closer weaves with cheviot or
camelshair finish are made into the
more elaborate costumes, with
strappinss of cloth bands of taffeta
or MORE ribbon or with quite
elaborate braidng. Short and most
fanciful Jackets or blouscs and Nor
folk Jackets are the fayorite styles
for this sort Of gown, the long tailor
coat of the more severe order being
thought quite inappropriate and yet
there are some few blue serge gowns
of this sort of serge made with the

CAUSES OF HAY FEVER.
HYomei the Only Core Gives Change
Of Climate IN Your Own Homo.

Fifty years ago hay fever had not been
named, but undoubtedly people suffered
then as they do now with storms Of sneez-
ing. profnse watering OF the eyes, Excess
sive running at the nose, intense smartiDg
and itching and stufted-up feeling in The
head.
The direct causes appear to be heat,
dust and the pollen Of flowers. Although
hay fever may occur at any season 81 the
year, It is most common and severe in
August, and preventive treatment should
be adopted some weeks before the time
the disease Is due.
Prior to the discovery Of the remarkable
effects following the use Of Byomei, the
only treatment that gave relief to hay
fever sufferers was change Of climate
The use of Hyomei enables any one to
breathe air at home which IS like that Of
the Adirondaeks, the White Mountains or
other health resorts where healing balsams
Gil the air with natures germ-destroyer,
ozone.
Those who are subject to hay fever
should begin the use Of Hyomei at once
and thus prevent the disease. An ounce
Of prevention Is worth more than a pound
Of cure 10 the treatment Of hay fever.
Rickert & Wells have seen the good
effects following the use Of Hyomel in all
diseases Of the respiratory organs and
they are willing TO sell Hyomei to any hay
fever sufferer with the understanding that
| if it does not give satisfaction the treat
ment viii cost nothing.
