While so many arbitrary things are
endured for fashions sake one more
will make little difference with the suf-
ferer, and no doubt corset collars VIII
become great fad. There are many
of the finest chiffon. so gauzy as to be
almost imperceptible, and are boncd to
follow exactly the big arteries and
muscles of the neck. The collar. which
fits closely, goes up under the chin and
up behind the ears, and is attached to
the skin by gum or paste. To women
who are not as young as they would
like to be they are regarded as a great
boon, for at distance they give the
effect of absolute youth. or course. 1t

MINGLING OF TONES.

There has been so much question
about whether or not the hat should
match the gown. 1t has been asserted
that the morning street suits should be
complete in color from head TO heels.
but more latitude was allowed in the
afternoon.
This may be dictate OF fashion. but
In practice one sees the costumes
matching in hat and gown almost en-
tircly.
When sombre colors are used there
Is often n wide dash OF another color in
the hat, which may or may not match
the collar OF the coat. but If this collar
Is in another color from the coat, the
trimming on the hat must match 1t.
In mcs. eases complimentary colors
are used, but fastldious women prefer
mingling different tones of one color.

cided about such combinations to re-
member that most shades of red go TO.
gether. that black can be relieved by
crimson. yellow, pale blue and emerald
green, II these colors are used in very
small quantities.
Violet can be combined with any
other shade of purple or lavender, and
PINK can be touched off with certain
torres of red, always with black. and
sometimes with white, but the latter Is
not very effective.
Black and white is not rs favored a
combination as 1t was. except in GER
tain ways, such us white plume on
black hat, and bit of fine lace ut the
neck and wrist of n black gown.
Green should rarely be touched with
anything except with shades of the
same color. although now and then one
sees an effective combination made
with u touch of white on green, and
black is good for an informal gown.
Gold goes well with brown. but sil-
yer should be avoided. yet silver should
be used on blue and light green In pref.
erence to gold.

SUNLIGHT AND THE HOUSE.

Sunlight Is natures most health Civ
Ing scavenger. A house without sun
light is unhealthy and unsafe for hu-
snan occupancy, and 1t is necessary not
only to have some sunlight. but to
have as much of 1t MS possible. 1t Is,
Sf course, not feasible to admit the d.
rect rays of the sun to every room of n
house: the typical plan of all houses is
square or rectangular, and at least one
side OF the house is entirely beyond
the reach of the sun. The other sides,
however. can receive more or less di-
rect sunlight, and the problem Of the
plan is thus reduced TO arranging the
various rooms that the amount OF sun
light Is adjusted TO their uses, and IL
must be sunlight. for mere light itself
is not sufficient: the rays OF the sun
have curative and cleansing properties
that nothing else has.
1t is generally admitted that south
ern exposure is the best for all houses.

In dwellings OF average size the en-

which any important room opens. but
In large coantry houses the old distinc-
tion of front and back TO n house has

Is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they

are those endorsed by the most eminent

Many years ago, DIR, Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, OF proper
strength, is IA better solvent and preserv-
alive of the medicinal principles rcsid-

more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritiye, antiseptic, and most efficient

Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit

bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent To cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them

The ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
