What Makes Paris Unique.

Other cities have these things In
greater or less degree and number
but Paris has other streets and
squares which come very near pre-.
senting unique features. This Place
de la Concorde stands In the center
OF the rushing stream Of life in Paris
1t is but a few steps from the old
church of the Madeleine, and not far
from the Opera. But 1t stretches
seemingly an Unreasonable distance
off the banks of the Seine. The Egyp
tian obelisk Is In the center, and all
around are gates dedicated to the
great cities of France. Nearest the
gardens Of the Tuileries stand one OF
these monuments bearing the name OF
Strasbourg. This is a pathetic sight.
1t is crowned with mourning leaves
like tomb. New ones are placed
there every year on the anniversary
of the capture Of that city by the Ger.

letters, is the legend "Qui vive? La

THE END OF THE GRIP

Mr.. Newman certainly had n very
tough time with the grip, and it is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts TO eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New.
mans for he had head. heart and stoni-
ach troubles combined with great weak
ness. He recently said:
1.-THE attack Of grip which had eight
years ago left me IN very bad fix. I
became nearly deaf and my head ached
continually and was filled with kissing
aud roaring sounds. My heart fluttered
aud had regular running-away spells.
My stomach was so sore that l could
hardly bear touch on that part of my
BODY. had great deal of pain in the
region of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. My kidneys
nched so at times that I could hardly
stand"
Didn't you give up and so to bed?"
he was asked.
No, / simply wouldn't. My head
and my back ached dreadfully, but
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
what did you do to get relief?"
First l tried doctor, but he did me
no good. Then / took all kinds of nd
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until began to use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as I got them
knew that had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and in three months they
positively cured me. | think was

Other remedies merely drive the poison
of the grip into hiding, but DR.. Williams

For The Linen Frock.

A sheer lingerie blouse adds a con
t-asting note of piquancy and dainti-
ress to linen frock and the gen.
eral effect is better than that of many
more elaborate but less knowing cos
tunes.
Short sacque boleros are features Of
other linen frocks and these, too, may
he severely tailored, but are more Of
fen trimmed with embroidery and
have fanciful short slashed sleeves
showing the sheer sleeve of the blouse
worn under the coat. The embroid-
cry collar and cuffs bordered with
stitched linen bands were an excellent
trimming idea for such coat.

RoIero Remains With Us.

The spring suits are showing the

Quaint silks Are Here.

The quaintest of silks are back
checked and lowered and pin-striped
but in the softest, most "chiffony"
of qualities, and with curious distinc-
lions of weave and design. Some of
them have the changeable effects so
soft, in some cases, as to be subtle
to lose the actual sense Of an extra
color. and instead to give nothing but
a light and life to the silk.

An invaluable help to woman In
dressing her hair is the very short in

They are used to supplement the

only by the girl who has pure blonde

Among the spring suits none are pref.
tier than those in which taffeta plays
an important part. Wolfe skirts--per-
haps one OF the new little checked
voiles, or one that is plain--are
trimmed with taffeta just the 'least
touch OF a shade" darker in color,
and the jacket--a rather short, jaunty
little affairs of the taffeta, tucked
in the prettiest of ways.

Gown May Be "Smartened."

Another smart touch for the woman
who is tired of her early spring cloth
skirt and jacket is to make a set Of
deep turnover collar and cuffs OF
butchers linen to wear on her coat
These sets may be of pure white linen
or of colonial buff. The collar is
shawl-shaped. rolls well down over
the bust, and is braided or embroid-
cred at the edge The cuffs are deep
and round and finished, of course, like
the collar. with braid or embroidery.

Taffeta seems to find it's chief favor
this season for children's dresses. In
black and in colors for street and for
house these gowns are made for chill
dren from to IS years old.
Crimson will be one of the favorite
colors and all shades of brown and
blue will be popular.
This is the regular dressed taffeta.
The different weaves of soft taffeta
will still be used for gorgeous gowns.
They are too expensive for everyday
garments.

Popularity Of Taffeta.

Ever since fashion decreed that
lightweight stuffs should be modish,
fabrics that could be shirred and
draped and tucked, manufacturers the
world over have been working to turn
heavy fabrics into light, stiff materials
into supple, without losing the char
acteristics OF each material.
Nobody thought it could be done
with taffeta, yet soft finish taffeta

Boot Laces.

For walking boots, the best lace Is
of mohair, and 1t comes in two widths,
an eighth of an inch and half an
inch. 1t takes more pains to use the
wider laces, and the girl who must
dress in haste should give the prefer.
ence to the narrower.
simple device for fastening laces
at the top is to draw the loops the
same length as the ends and then
knot them tightly.
