A Patent Medicine Talk

This meant not only the highest
quality in manufacture, but the very
greatest cconomy-the cutting out
of every wasteful item and every un-
necessary expense.
The remedies when manufactured
were shipped directly from the
laboratory to the retail druggists.
This insured their freshness and
made it impossible for their quality
TO deteriorate. Not only that, but
it also did away with the jobbers'
profit. Here again the cooperative
system added not only quality but
brought about economy.
Most OF our patrons are familiar
with these facts. Most of them are
already acquainted with the for
mulas of Rexall Remedies which are
manufactured by the United Drug
Co., with laboratory and principal
Offices in Boston. Mass. These are
the remedies and this is the cooper
ative company that VIC believe has
done more to bring about change
in patent medicine conditions than
any other element in existence.
Each of the Rexall druggists
know absolutely what each Rexall
remedy contains He has the for
rnula of each remedy on file in his
safe. He will gladly give it to any
one who is interested. There il
nothing secret about any of the Rex
all formulas. On the contrary, we
are thoroughly proud of them. We
want you to know about them.

this. We want to know every case

We want you to get your money

historian AYERS that at fete many
centuries ago one of the ladies wore a
robe signifying water the mirror OF
nature" and another love lurking in
summer haze" and so on. These mar
velous effects were accomplished by
wearing diaphanous materials, one
over another, of various shades, until
the sense of solid color was lost in a
maze of changing melting harmony OF
color. Sometimes as many as twenty
five robes were worn, one over an

Behold a Monkey.

An amusing little game for boys and
girls, one which will produce much
laughter and fun, is explained here.
Let some boy of the party pretend
to be a magician, claiming to be able
to show each guest any animal he or
she wishes to see. The guests, all
save the boy acting the part of the
magician, are invited to leave the par
lor, entering an adjoining room. A
girl assistant stands at the door and
calls one person at a time into the
parlor, closing the door securely again
so that the as yet uninitiated may not
see the fate of their fellows.
On entering the parlor the boy or
girl is asked by the magician;
What animal do you wish most to
see?"
The person mentioned names some
animal, maybe a monkey, whereupon
the magician says: CLOSE your eyes
tightly, please" Then he quickly re.
moves a small mirror from the inside
of his coat and holding it in front OF

more exquisite and important moment
than when two lives unite, but why
brand the bride with conspicuous
costume so that any stranger may COM
ment and observe?
So far this is our custom. Men
rather despise it. They feel that they
would sooner not be on exhibition.
They object to the large ceremony in
the church with its elaborate decora-
tions, its long line of bridesmaids and
ushers and the many guests. They
cannot understand why they should be
on inspection.
And this is what women call society
and give the girls advantages" there
in. Men see through it. They know
that in society man is fair prey. They
recognize the managing mamma" at
large balls and dances, and usually
walk away from the designing" young
women. Since the young people OF
society do not engage in any other pro
fession they cannot logically object to
this game. To marry, men and wom-
en- must meet. So have grown the
games and exhibitions, feasts and
dances, the underlying reason of which
is to bring together young men and
women. Hence it is not surprising
that department called society"
should consist mainly of announce
ments of marriages. All other an
nouncements were but preliminary to
this grand event.
Should women, however, take part
in the work of the world, they would
meet men naturally and rightly, in
working clothes and working manners,
and each will know the other far more
fully and wisely than is possible now.
This will result in better marriages.

A Butterfly Party.

A pretty amusement, much in vogue
among art students, is what we have
to suggest for the making of butter
fly party.
To prepare for this unique enter.
tainment, give a few tubes of oil COL
ors, say, one each of white, crimson,
lake, vermillion, yellow, green aad
blue. This seems like a good many to
provide, but while a great variety of
colors is needed to produce the very
best effects, satisfactory effects may
be produced with three or four.
You will also need palette knife,
two or three paper cutters or fruit
knives and a number Of sheets of
heavy white note paper
Give each guest a sheet Of the note
paper and instruct him to fold it in
half. Then, having opened it again,
colors together on one side of, and
close to, the fold, half way from edge
to edge of the sheet of paper and fold
the paper again down over the paint.
Now, with paper cutter or a dull
edged fruit knife, let him press the
paper over the paint so as to spread
the latter upward and outward to
form the profile Of butterfy's wing.
Then he should press downward to
form the lower wing, being guided in
the work by holding the paper up to
the light now and then to see in what
shape the colors are spreading.
When all the guests have finished,
the papers should be opened and
beautiful butterfly of many colors will
be found in each. If a good deal Of
paint is used, beautiful markings will
be produced, with ridges and corruga-
tions that make the butterfly look
quite natural.
At the close of the work a vote
should be taken as to whose butterfly
is the best, and prize awarded ac-
cordingly.
If it be impractible to get variety
of colors, a pretty effect may be pro-
duced with white paint and paper in
dark tints. The result will be a num-
ber of really beautifully white butter
flies, showing effectively on colored
background.
The butterflies made during the
evening may be taken home by the
guests or left with the hostess as SOU

EXtravagances in the button line
show jeweled effects. Buttons COM
posed entirely of rhinestones vary in
diameter from a quarter of an inch to
an inch and half. The center is gem
orally a good sized rhinestone, with
slender spokes of small, fine rhine
stones radiating from it to an outer
circle of the small stones.
Again, the stones are set so close to-
gether that there is neither mounting
nor dress fabric to be seen between
them. The rhinestones used for these
solid looking buttons are generally
very fine and cut with many faces, so
that the button sparkles, no matter
how the light strikes it. Colored Jew
els are combined with rhinestones ex-
actly as they are used with diamonds
in brooches.
A striking button on marquise lines
shows a large jewel, either turquoise,
amethyst, emerald, garnet, sapphire,
topaz or opal, overlaid with filigree
effect in silver, set with rhinestones.
The marquise is in turn encircled by
tiny rhinestones, and the button meas
ures nearly two inches in length.
These jewels will be matched with the
color of the gown; emerald on a green
dress, sapphire on blue, topaz on
brown, ETC., and they will be used in
all colors on black velvet.
Sometimes the arrangements of the
jewels is reversed. For instance, the
center will be a large, many faced
rhinestone, from which radiate slender
rays of spirals of jewels. These rays
are built of wash gold, set with jewels
to match the color of the gown, and
lar vogue in combination with the
new brown cloths. Opal centers, with
petal effects in rhinestones are used
for velvet dresses and for evening
cloaks in broadcloth.
Pearls, rhinestones and opals form
the centers of jet buttons, which vary
in size from a quarter of an inch to an
inch in diameter. These are not for
use on mourning gowns, as the jeweled
effect is not in good taste for indi-
viduals presumably grieving.

effective on evening coats in white or
Dale colors is of tinted horn, ornately
carved. The button is about two
inches in diameter, and exceedingly

of leaves and blooms and the single
flower through which the cloth will
