"HE wardrobe OF the growing
girl is a difficult problem to
solve. She is either a mass of
''unaccentuated curves
polite way Of calling her shapeless-or
she is all angles and elbows, tall, lanky
and ungainly. In either case she is
more or less unmanageable, and if she
has the misfortune to suspect that she
is badly costumed she suffers silently,
and too often sulkily, a species of tor
ture.
The and we'll being.of a girl
sensitive to a fault are more closely
allied than most parents realize to her
sense of possessing outfit that Is
lust right according to her views
of propriety-for instance, dresses OF
the correct length and of a fashion
suited to her individuality; hats that
are pretty and selected by herself,
frocks for ordinary wear and for
special occasions, made, as far as pos
sible, of new material.
Quite small children accept with
delightful equanimity clothes con-
trived from their elders leftover gar
ments, but the girl advancing in her
teens suffers acutely from this com
mon sense regulation. She prefers the
mo It inexpensive materials bought for
her personal Use to the costly velvets
and silks she has seen paraded about
by other members of the home circle.
She has, usually, no objection t hav-
ing her things turned over, added
to and, readjusted; but she rebels,
foolishly, of course, against losing a
a part of her prerogative as a distinct
and important individual.
There can be no caSt-iron rules in
this delicate matter. Every mother
must make the dressing of each sepa-
| rate girl a law unto herself. As fash
| ions for growing girls are necessarily
| simple-much more SO than for chill
| dren-the materials should be of the
best, and of such textile and color as
can be easily manipulated in case OF
lengthening and letting out.
1t is to be regretted that plaids are
not more popular for girls. They are
eminently distinctive and always
pretty in any weight Or combination
of color. The box-coat. however, ir
velvet, corduroy and cloth, is a fashion
that is especially becoming and much
in vogue. The girl has taken posses
sion of it, and it has been recon
structed to suit her individual type

A Vogue for Fresh Water Pearls.

The more exclusive jewelry shops
are showing ornaments made of fresh
water pearls. There are brooches in
the shape of lilies, orchids, daisies,
p~ansies and all sorts of flowers, many
petaled. In the heart of each orna-
ment is set a diamond, the brilliancy
of which is in striking contrast to the
pure white of the pearl.
Lorgnettes, fan handles, chatelaines.
card cases, coin purses, bar pins.
chains. hat pins, and even shirt-waist
buttons, are TO be seen made of fresh
water pearls.

Beautiful Photograph Frames

Photograph frames, to be acceptable, must be Of
beautiful Workmanship. The newest ones are very elab-
crate, and come in various metals. Roman gold, oxi-
died silver and gun metal are some of the materials
most in favor.
An exquisite one is in rocco style and with Etruscan
finish. 1t is set with imitation jewels composed OF sap
phlres, rubies, emeralds and turquoises. Another one IS
of Roman gold, and has an edge of rhinestones. The
oval is studded with rhinestOnes. and when the light
shines on the frame the effect is quite dazzling.

Cotton Burtap Curtains and Portieres

Curtains and portieres made of cotton burlap were
never so popular. The u~p-to-date way to make them Is
to have 4 band of printed cotton crepe seven inches
wide all about the curtain and about an inch and a half
from the edge. The curtain edge Is finished with a silk
guimpe braid. The burlap comes by the yard. as does
the band also, which Is made expressly for this purpose.
A pair of d~ark-green portieres showed a band of cream
printed cotton, on which was a pattern of pink sprawl
ing roses Another pair OF old rose ones had a band of
cream with a red rose pattern.

Canvas Embroidery in Dogue

The old-fashioned canvas embroidery is in vogue
again. For this purpose the new mosaic canvas is used,
and as its name implies, it is made up of small squares,
about half an inch in size. These vary in color, and
many beautiful combinations are carried out.

CHIEF OF POLICE SAVED.

u Newberry, s. CIV. H. Harris.
Chief Of Police, OF Newberry, says:
S''I suffered for a number Of years with
kidney complaint. There was q dull
aching across the small of my back
that was worse at night and
made me feel miserable all the time.
The kidney secretions were dark and
full of sediment, and lack of control
compelled me to rise a number Of
times during the night. Between this
annoyance and the backache it was
impossible for me to get much sleep
and my health was being undermined.
I tried a. number of remedies, but
nothing helped me until l got Doan's
Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy
according to directions promptly
brought about a change for the better.
After using two boxes the backache
all left me, the kidney secretions
cleared up and the action Of the kid
ueys became normal"
A FREE TRIAL of this great kid
ney medicine which cured Chief Har-
ris will be mailed to any part of the
United States. Address Foster-Mil-
