even gone the length of explaining
this by the amount of gas that Is de-

3 pounds and ounces between night

lose about IA ounces before lunch;
that lunch puts on an average Of l

The New Millinery.

The new millinery is always a most
attractive part of the toilette for the
coming season. We have become &C.
customed to AIRY, fairy" hats all
through the winter, often showing
the saving touch of fur, it is true, but
positively summary for all that, keep
ing pace with the topsy-turvy vogue
of lingerie waists worn all through
this cold term. The changes are,
therefore, mostly in the shapes and
in the use of straw in place Of felt
in hats for general wear. Although
some of the winter shapes are simply
repeated in spring and summer hats,
there are many pleasing new ideas
and revivals of picturesque old styles.
An illustration of this is the dainty
little dress hat of white crinoline with
It's long plume, giving an impression
of the Henry II style, with twentieth
century art and chic added.

her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh

She took only few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her to develop
into perfect picture Of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So

using them, and that is why we recon-
mend them to others"

The New CoIors.

Dark smoke gray is very favorlte
shade in new cloths; so are brown,
navy blue and purple. Nearly all the
blouses for morning wear are made
of cloth or fine flannel, the favorite
trimmings being braid and buttons.
Linen collars are giving place to the
very high inner ones of tucked mus
line with outer ones of velvet or silk.
Sleeves strike a note of novelty;
they are very slightly fulled in on the
shoulder, giving a square effect, and
from the elbow to the wrist they are
as tight as is consistent with COM
fort. Very often they have little
turned back cuff of velvet, and occa-
sionally a linen cuff is seen. The
shirts are beautifully fitted, tight at
the back and sides. with a becoming
fullness across the figure in front,
very little pouched and mostly fin
ished with a suede belt held in place
by slides.
Collars are extremely high, and
sleeves extremely tight; that is the
difference between the blouse of the
present and the blouse of the past.
There is no compromise in the mat
ter.
Many smart blouses worn in Paris
are arranged in rather big box plaits.
These are made of linen, and are
nice to wear under very thick cloth
coats. Then quite charming are the
blouses in plaid materials, relieved
with a touch of velvet in some dark
color, and little inner chemisette of
muslin or a white linen collar.

White Trimming for Spring Costume.

White Trimming for Spring Costumes.
Much more often becoming is the
costume with the skirt and fancy
jacket to be worn over a waist of the
same color, or the blouse of lingerie
for that these separate waists of lin
gerie and lace are as popular as ever
there is no gainsaying-and the short
jacket with the slashed sleeves, most
deliberately trimmed and very charm
ingly executed, looks especially well
over an elaborate blouse of this sort.
There is great deal of white notice
able in the trimming of all costumes
for the spring, and this model gives
an opportunity for lot of white in
the waist; much the most satisfac-
tory place to have 1t, by the way, for
there is then not the same danger of
its being quickly solled, and in a
way that cannot easily be made clean,
