School Girls
and Headaches
BY MARGARET z. SANGSTER.
Copyright. 1905, By Joseph B. Bowles.)


T seems too bad that young girls al
school, whose duty and privilege II
should be to enjoy perfect health.
should ever suffer from a fiendish tor
ture of an aching head. l have had
no personal experience of the kind, never
having known the misery Of a headache In
ali my life But have seen girls and wom-
en- in the clutches of the malignant demon,
who fastens his fangs in the nerve-cen-
tiers and racks the brain until the victim is
almost exhausted.
/ once said to girl friend Tell me,
Blanche, what is the worst thing about a
headache?' She answered: 1T is all worst
There is the boring of a corkscrew, the
grinding of coffee mill, the creaking of a
buzz saw and the pounding of a. trip ham,
mer, all combined, when have one of my

am wretched, 1t has day of endurance
when | am more dead than alive, and It
has a third day when it is going off,
Poor child I did not wonder that such
an inf1Iction laid waste her life. Probably
few people have this extreme of distressing
agony in the far too common feminine all
ment, a headache. But thousands OF wonl-
en- begin their initiation In the malady when
they are about fourteen. and they never
get rid of II until life ends.

CHAINS OF JEWELS AND BEADS TO MATCH GOWNS

jewel that is now much used. 1t has more
pink and less lavender in It's shades than
the kunZlte, but is not quite brilliant
There are also shown chains OF opals which
shade into pink and take pink reflections
so beautifully that they are most effective
on pink gowns and on dull reds, garnets
and crmsons. The scarlet costume Is OF
course not to be matched by gems, nor do
jewels or beads shading pink or GRIM
son harmonic with it. For those who
wear blue there are wonderful chains, both
IN gems, semi-precious stones and manu-
featured beads. OF the brilliant stones
the blue sapphire has the purest Tone but
the aquamarine. wonderfully brilliant and
exquisite in shade, is rarely beautiful. The
beautlful new aquamarine is now very rare,
and large stones of this jewel are immense
ly valuable. The greenish blue variety is
not so rare and consequently costs some
what less. 1t, too, shades in exQuistely
with blue gowns.
Lapi lazuli has come to the front among
the opaque blue stones. There are two
varieties, the expensive, and the moderate
priced stone the latter having a green tinge.
That which is chosen for the handsomest
necklaces is usually of the pure dark blue
with gray splashes and veins of gold. This
stone Is usually made up IN very large
beads and very long chains for wear with
street gowns 1t Is very handsome for this
purpose and for house gowns for morning
or afternoon, but IL Is not brilliant enough
for the evening. Fewer turquoises are
used than formerly for chains because OF
the great excess in the use OF this Jewel
during the last few years.
1t is in the green jewels perhaps that
one finds the greatest variety. Leaving out
emeralds as almost too precious for use in
chains, there are opals olivenes, Alexan-
drites, green tourmalne and the partially
opaque chrysoprase, also the Opaque jade,
all of which are most attractive and most
popular, although for the moment, as has
been said. the fad is to have the chain
either matching the gown or particularly
chosen TO accentuate II.
Purple has been so very much in vogue
and amethysts have been so popular that
naturally enough they are beginning to
be looked upon as rather commonplace.
And yet what is more beautiful than an
amethyst chain with a lavender or a gray
or @ green Or a tan-colored costume For
d good all around chain, If such thing
must be, the amethyst is perhaps better
than any other. Not so brilliant as the
pink or yellow chain, it harmonizes with
more costumes than either of them Pale
amethysts, though very beautiful, are not
highly regarded at the leading jewelers..
If a pale stone is desired topaz. sapphire
or colored diamonds are chosen. Only the
very dark ainethysts are now made up by
fashionable jewelers.. The bigger they are
the better. Some chains are shown of ame-
thyst beads as large as hickory nuts, while

A S the season advances the demand
~ for new gowns increases, and con-
- sequently new styles are continu-
4 - ally making their appearance. In
order to be gowned according to
fashions dictates there would seem to be
20 limit to the size of the wardrobe, and a
gown for every hour In the day is apparent
~ not thought in the least an extravagant
estimate. AS may readily be imagined,
dressmakers and designers are kept busy
turning out novelties, for the law is that
marked individuality must needs distin-
guish every smart gown.
Far more attention is now paid than was
formerly considered necessary to the gowns
to be worn at the theater, at dinners, in
public places and at home in the afternoon.
In fact the amount of money laid aside. or
rather expended, on this one individual
style is trifle overwhelming at the first
glance. No longer is it possible to be cor
rectly gowned in the evening by the put
ting on of an elaborate waist with any sort
of skirt. in the fond delusion that only the
waist shows and the skirt does not matter.
The well-gowned woman of today requires
that every detail of her costume be COM
plete and that skirts and waists be alike.
To be sure, the gown may have done duty
the season before, smart summer gown,
for instance, being quite possible, but it
must all correspond and must have been,

although, be it understood. this Is the time
OF year when plain effects in rich mate
rails are always thought smart and fashion,
able Lace used in entredeux, in applique
and in medallions, in nounces, in berthas,
fchus and jabots, is also most popular. and
a wonderful variety of designs and textures
there is to choose from. Spangled robes,
as they are called, have been in fashion
for an unprecedented length Of time, and
yet are again to be found In almost every
complete wardrobe. Robe gowns, as are
called the pattern dresses in spangled net
and chiffon in net and lace or all lace,
are offered for sale everywhere, and at
such low prices, in many instances as to
indicate that their reign is pretty well over.
Most of these dresses are not worth buy
ing even at the low prices asked for them,
as the net is imperfect and will not pay for
the making UP. Others, again, are great
bargains and will stand the hardest kind
of wear. They effective and there is
great variety in the patterns and colors.

white to choose from, but all different col

the habit of being well. Still, one cannot
lay the imputation Of mistake, or the re-
sponsibility for Illness wholly on anybody
else, because health and sickness are very
largely In our own hands Nature makes
for health and does all she can to keep us
away from pain and anguish and irritable
nerves and the handiceps that come from

and let me add we disobey Divine Provi-

why we are so often Ill.

or the penchant for candy, that bane of

- OMETHING unique in a chain Is
what the woman whose tastes are
as those of the great Dame FASH
~ ion is at this moment demanding.
Young and old and middle aged,
rich, well-to-do and poor beautiful and
plain, all the divisions of womankind have
gone mad over this form of adornment.
And the occasions on which chains and
necklaces are now worn are as all en-
bracing as the number of women who are
devoted to the necklace fad. No evening
dress Is complete without the delicate
strand of gold and jewels around the
throat. The most perfect street costume

back and on the golf links. And even
there the fad may spread in time.
The very latest edct as to the wearing
of chains prescribes that they shall match
the costume. or at least harmonic in color
with II, with peculiar perfection. A chain
for every gown is almost necessary If a
woman Is TO have the final hallmark OF
