New York, April 29.-Short sleeves

Even dressy tailormades have sleeves
reaching not more than half way to
the wrist, the deficiency being atoned
for by long gloves, All thin summer
gowns are made with elbow length
sleeves When the abbreviated sleeve
is not desirable for a dressy costume,
the firm choice is sleeve design that
has an elbow length effect.
There is a general tendency TO di.

the 1880 wraps introduced this spring
are more often obtained by godat or

into sleeve tops than by the bell OF

Artistic fashions in neckwear may
be said to have reached their height
this spring, for it is the opinion OF
many an experienced shopper that thu
array in the stores has never befor'
been half so fascinating, and that tn
future can hardly invent daintier con

An eminent physician says that
70 their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician. but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar TO their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work onp
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
thew can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once tC
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove
Many such grateful letters as the fol
lowing are constantly pouring in.

~ ILKWORMS are not the only silk
spinners. For instance. there are
certain sea shells that are allied
to the common mussel and which,
extraordinary as It may seem. produce
a strong and beautiful quality of silk.
The pinnas (frorn the Latin word signf-
flying feather), as they are called be-
cause OF their shape. possess the power
OF spinning. with what is called the foot,
large forming of threads, In the ag-
gregate forming the cable or byssus by
which they moor themselves TO the par
ticular spots under the water that they
select to occupy.
Gibbon. the historian, tells OF woman
of rank in ancient Rome who wore a
magnificent dress woven OF pima silk.
There Is now in the British museum a
pair OF gloves made of the byssus OF the
giant pima, species that sometimes
attains TIE length OF two feet. and
gloves and purses of the same material
may be bought at any time in the cities
on the Mediterranean coasts.
In the first half of the eighteenth CEN
fury an enterprising and enthusiastic
little Frenehman, NJ. Bon, turned his
attention to spider webs and discovered
what to MIN was a new and interesting
fact, that female spiders. when they had
laid their eggs, Immediately proceeded
TO weave cocoons about them.
