That's the time to laugh at fate,
Snap your fingers in her face
And strike up faster pace.
Get your gait, and keep your stride;
Keep straight OH whate'er betide.

PURE BLOOD.
Blood Impurities of Springtime-
Cause, Prevention
and Cure.

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interesting
lectures he ever delivered was hisrecent
lecture on the blood impurities fspring.
The doctor said in substance thatevery
spring the blood is loaded with the
effete accumulations of win ter, derang-
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, overtaXing the kid
neys, interfering with the action of the
bowels and the proper circulation of the
blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring
fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
ton, that tired feeling, blood thicl<en-
ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys-
peptic and constipated; sometimes he is

in French lines, are the sheer unlined
blouses made with deep yokes of lace
openwork stitch, etc, the yoke falling
low on the shoulders. This idea is,
however, less distinctively Partisan,
and is carried out in host of domestic
models made of coarse materials.
Then We have the sheer blouses
which set aside all pretence of simplici-
ty and run riot in frilis and drapery
and other features which are impracti-
cable in blouse intended primarily
for wear under coat-the Parisian's
only idea of a purpose for separate
blouse.
Some of these elaborate blouses are
charming, and the makers rack their
brains to find new details that will give
individuality. The fine net laces are
and trimmed in tiny bouillonees of silk,
little ribbon ruches, knots and folds Of
soft ribbon, openwork stitching, etc.
Possibly net matching that of the
lace may be the foundation of the
blouse and this is manipulated in all
possible ways by hand, in addition to
its generous trimming of lace.
Crepe is always a good blouse ma
terial, and the heavier qualities of chif-
fon, known as chiffon cloth, wear ex-
ceedingly well.
Bands of corded chiffon or other thin
stuff, are used for trimming blouses
Of crepe or silk, and little bouillonees,
ruahings, bands or plaitings of silk
trim the blouses of chiffon, net, etc.
Bands of shirred tucks in chiffon are
used, as are the bands of corded chif-
fon, upon heavier material, and all
such trimmings are ordinarily set into
the silk or crepe with narrow bands of
lace insertion.
Lace insertion plays most impor-
tant part in the making of sheer
blouse 1t is set in in straight lines, in
points, in waving lines. 1t frames me-
dallions, forms scroll patterns, is Joined
by handwork into yokes and collars
and long mitten cuffs.

weak, nervous and depressed; and again
he may have eruptions, swellings and
other blood humors. Whichever it is.
the cause is the same-effete accumula-
tions in the blood.
Nothing is more certain within the
whole rangeof medicalscience than that
a course of Peruna in early springtime
will perfectly and effectually prevent
or cure this almost universal affection.
Everybody feels it in some degree
A great majority are disturbed con-
siderably, while a large per cent. of the
human family are made very miserable
by this condition every spring.
Peruna will prevent it if taken in
time.
Peruna will cure it ftaken as directed.
Peruna is the ideal spring medicine of
the medical profession.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once TO DR.. Hartman, giving Il
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.

blouseS through window.
In the most exclusive importing es-
Establishments the simple French blouse
is the thing. Simple it is in line, but
it atones for this concession by an ex-
travagance in handwork that brings it's
cost up to distressing heights.
Tiny hand tucks, inset lace, open
stitching, hand embroidery are all law
ishly used, though eccentricity of
Gus by it's absence. Exquisite fineness
of material and extreme daintiness in
needlework are the making of these
French blouses, which are tucked or
shirred on the shoulders and have bish-
op sleeves and transparent collar and
wrist bands.
They are made of finest lawn, mule.
batiste, etc., and the most charming of
them are ornamented by delicate trail
ing vines and flower clusters of hand
embroidery and by real valenciennes
lace and insertion.
There are, too, blouses of the same
description made of fine China silk,
louisine or the new favorite, messaline,
embroidered in silk of the color of the
material. Finest openwork embroidery
of batiste and English eyelet embroid-
cry on silk are made up into blouses
cut upon these same simple lines and
trimmed very slightly with valencien-
mes edging.
The tiny frill on the under Pierrot
ruche at the throat is seen upon some
of the French blouses, and occasionally
a little frill runs down a center opening
in the front, but generally the blouses
open in the back, in order to give un-
interrupted space for the embroidery
or inset lace on the front.

Oh, Vernis, charming NerniS,
Dear, because your heart is true,
Just because you laugh and giggle,
And you dance the way you do;
Just because no thought of fashion
Worries you or makes you sad,
And you care no whit for gossip,
Just to know you dear, is glad. 80
Fashion has no claim upon you.
And you bow not down to style;
And most things your sex so longs TOT
You do hold worth little while;
And there's sunshine i'll your presence,
And there's sorrow when we part,
And your laughter, sweetest music,
Warns the cookies of the heart.
You are sweet and unaffected.
You are bonny, dear, and true;
You are careless as to fashion,
Laughter comes so quick to you,
You are full of lifting pleasure,
Full of JOY as you can hold,
Cause you don't know any better.
Cause you're only three years old.

ly of the pelerine order. l
saw few new race coats, and great
deal of lace, l notice, is worn in con-
junction with white and champagne
shades of cloth, with beautifully en-
broidered trimmings.
Perhaps the most striking feature OF
the spring modes is the quantity of
lace used on everything, but especially
on headgear The lace veil or scarf
that drapes the brims of the hats and
falls into a curtain behind has become
an inevitable feature in millinery for
the moment. Some people look very
charming in these lace effects. 1t is
owing to the fact that lace scarfs and
wells forms a complete trimming in
themselves that so many of the new
shapes in vogue are very simple.
The "Shepherdess" shape and the
old Dolly Warden" still continue de
rigueur, while the plain. straight lines
of the old masters, with the addition
of strings in some cases, give evidence
of the excellent taste of the Partisan
milliners. Nothing after all can be
better style than these decisive lines
in beautifully light, fancy straws. Leg
horns and crinolines, rendered soft and
becoming by this drapery of old lace.
The simplest Breton sailor has same
scarf-like arrangement on it, say,
simple twist of gauze in shaded brown
chiffon with broad border, which can
be tackled or pinned on with fancy
pins round the crown and the brim and
allowed to fall over the face or over the
couture at the back, as desired by the
wearer. These wells are peculiarly fas-
chatting, and, if well arranged, exceed
ingly chic; they are tremendous i'm
provement on the old idea of thick
lace veil coming from poke bonnet!
Some of these curtain" effects make
the plainest hat thing of real beauty,
for nothing is more becoming back
ground for either young or old face
than chantilly or gauze. Possessors of
old lace wells have already the essential
mart of the chapeau of today.

OUR LATER FRIENDSHIPS.
When Vanity Departs and We Feel
the Need of Friends True
satisfaction Comes.

People make friends later than they
used to, or at least so it seems to US
probably because they grow old, in
general, later than they did, says Col
lier's Weekly Friendship must
change it's nature with advancing
years, but whatever makes later life
full of activities and new beginnings
causes friendships also to begin at even
the later stages of the journey. OF
two old men, early friends, who had
quarrelled. Coleridge said:
''They stood aloof, the scars remaining
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder."
Such an image, of course, gives pow
erfully the sense of fixity, the opposite
of the. fluid potentiality of youth. Yet
in the same poem We have the hint
that not all is glorious in youth:
"And constancy lives in realms above;
And life is thorny, and youth is vain"
Friendship becomes rid of some van
ity, it becomes more noble and satis-
flying to the deeper thoughts and
ideals, when the roots of it grow back
into long distant past; and if we
can keep the power of making few
new friends in age, as We need them,
to supplement those inherited from
youth, which grow fewer with the
years, but ripper and more select,
friendship should play a satisfying
role far along toward the end of life,
the best role, indeed, of its career, if,
as Emerson thinks, a lifetime is needed
for its completeness, while an hour
or a day is enough for toll or play.
The late friendships of the unmarried,
the childless and the widowed have a
special necessity and pathos of their
own, for mates and children, to a
large extent, at certain periods, natu-
rally take the place of other friends.
