der nine who live more than two and

and (4 excepting children over four
teen whose services are required for

GOWNS TELL LOVE OR HATE
Dresses symbolical Of Emotions II an
Idea Bred Of the Ancient
H. Times.


Psychological gowns" said . MILL
nsr to Newark News man, were worn
By an actress In piece that recently
fell nat. The gowns were called psyche
logical because they symbolized things.
and the idea OF such symbolical gowns
was thought to be quite new. tits. how
ever. - old - dress itself. The actress
in her play, to symbolize uciousness, at
tired herself In scarlet. She wore de-
licious sky blue In love scene to SYM
holize urtuous happiness between
swesthearts. But her garb was yellow
when she mixed the poison to extin-
guish her unfaithful lover. All this was
considered new and clever. What,
though. could have been olderf Consid-
or the bride a. she approaches the altar.
Doesn't her white gown symbolic In
nocence and her white veil maiden mod
estyf Consider the widow In black.
Aren't her inky and lugubrious robes
symbols Of her desolation? Consider
the maid In white who Is about to take
the veil. Does not her snowy robe SYM
bolize the purity Of her hearth Dress.
in fact, has always been symbolical. The
South Sea island women wear their
shells and feather with much psycholog-
zeal significance. The women Of the
Congo arrange their scanty draperies
and ornaments, in ways that mean: I
desire husband I am rich and twenty
other things. All these forms Of dress
may truthfully be called psychological
forms. Hence don't understand why
this actress with her varied gowns gave
an idea of novelty"

ing their homes. All they have to do Is
to write to the Doctor, stating each
symptom from which they are suffering,
aud he will answer their letter, explain

what the trouble is and what to do to be
cured He gives the greatest care and
attention to every letter, and tells the
cause of each symptom 80 plainly that
patients understand instantly just what
ails them And all this costs nothing.
1t is a SPLENDID opportunity for those
