 The trained fingers nave disappeared. and through modern competition GUS toners are no longer willing to pay the real value of genuine hard work. This superiority of Eastern craftsmen over their Western fellows was recognized centuries ago. first by Portuguese, who were in the habit of sending satin to India to be embroidered by the natives after European designs. a fashion which at times renders somewhat pug zling the classification of the marvels of handiwork.
 The French followed suit, since the majority of the Louis XVI court sets. including coat, waistcoat and brooches in satin, velvet, plush or corded silk. so exquisitely adorned with delicate sprays and admirable borders wrought in satin and tambour stitches, are due to the skill and industry of the Chi nese, who have reproduced the French devices with floss silk in such lovely and fast colors, which still appear in all their beauty, with a mel1owness im- parted by time, which further adds to their charm.

 much more simple and effectual than approximations with the man. or threats to apply to a policeman.
 Another point of which the women who go about alone have to be caro- full Is the style and color of their cos
 tune. One may safely and comforta- ply wander about town after dark if one Is handsome, young. and graceful.
 But if one is conspicuously or richly dressed one had better stay at home. This is one of the fixed laws with the
 women whose work calls them out af- ter nightfall. Their raiment is of the darkest and simplest. and. moreover,
 certain styles are summed by them. A
 trained skirt Is not to be commended.
 nor anything lacy or fiuffy. A lady of my acquaintance told me that she had
 once possessed a box coat when that
 garment was in fashion. and had to
 give up wearing it in the evening be- cause she was so constantly spoken to and followed. Dark clothes, simple and
 neat, are the correct uniform for night travel To realize this, one has only
 to ride on any of the surface cars from six to eleven and note the preva- lence of black in the clothing of the
 unescorted girls and women.
 Where a prejudice does still exist
 against the nocturnally unprotected fe-
 male Is in the restaurants. No good uptown restaurant will allow one or
 more unescorted women in after six. You may go there for lunch. and you
 may go there for tea. but for dinner that's another storyl It is really more
 in this question of meals that the lone
 woman feels her solitary state than in
 any other. Outside Purseli's and some
 of the hotels, there is no good restau-
 rant in New York where a woman may comfortably and unconspicuously diae alone. Down town, round the bohemian
 quarter, there are a good many queer
 foreign table d'hotes, where this can
 be dona. but the dinner is generally
 bad. ana one runs a risk of having 8

 stranger resents as much as you do.

BEWARE OF PIE
 AND SINKERS
HurTy-Up Lunches Pave the Way For
 Years of Suffering.

Doctors have preached against it, Brit ishers have written scathing articles about it, wives and mothers have crusaded against it-and yet the deadly "hurry- up lunch marches on.
 The fascinating doughnut, the alluring "sinker," the irresistible triangle of foundry pie, washed down by gulps of cold milk or hot coffee or iced water, continue on their deadly way to the stomachs of thousands and thousands of America's hustling, capable, wOrld-con- qucring business men.
 In all probability we will be unable to wipe out the hurry-up lunch for many years to come, but we can at least combat the evils wrought by the practice. Our recipe is simple, economical and effective.
 Buy 8 package of Rexall Dyspepsia Tabletsg carry them in your pocket; and as the last gulp of milk chases the last chunk of refractory pie down your esophagus, swallow one tablet.
 Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets prevent and cure stomach trouble by supplying the one element, the absence of which in the gastric juices, causes indigestion and dyspepsia. They enable the stomach to digest all kinds of food and to quickly convert it into rich, red blood.
 Our proposition is not merely to sell you dyspepsia tablets, but to sell yo1 O ears for your dyspepsia and indigestion.
 If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets do not effect this cure, we give you back your money. That shows how much conf- dence we have in this new remedy.
 Price 95 cents per large package. Sold only at our store or by mail.
