A SEASON OF LACE.
Such Charming Little Jackets Are
Offered To-Day-The Various
Styles and Laces.

AS this is season of lace, the lace
department is OF particular interest.
Among the many charming novelties
shown are the little lace jackets which
promise 10 form an important feature
OF the seasons toilets. These are
shown in real French and Irish lace,
combined with batiste and hand en-
broidery, with graceful little quarter
sleeves. Others are in baby Irish and
heavy crochet, with half sleeves and
slashed up the back. The same style
Of jacket is shown in their batiste
and Wal" combinations. Collars and
chemisettes, with cuffs and half sleeves
to match, in all the fashionable laces,
are another feature of this department,
and there are some beautiful speci-
mems of the new Point d'Auvergne.
One may select from a large variety
of beautiful white waists here-and
practically all waists are white this
season. One attractive model was
Of accordion plated chiffon, with
handmade German Wal" insertion,
three large German medalions form
ing the yope. The short sleeves and a
girdle were OF white satin. Another
model was 70 all-over net, with imi-
tation Irish insertion and perpendicu-
lar tucks, forming a pointed yoke.
The short sleeves were finished with a
ruffie of net and the high neck with a
ruching Of German "Val." A charm
ing china silk waist had tucks and
German val" insertion Stimulating a
bolero jacket. The sleeves were
trimmed with bands of perpendicular
insertion. with cuff of insertion, and
small rufIles of china silk.
The summer suits and dress fabrics
show a striking predominance Of
gray-bride's gray, princess gray and
small black and white stripes, checks
and figures, giving the gray effect. In
the foulards and figured India silks,
which they make speciality of here,
this color seems to be particularly at
tractive.
Gray also appears in hosiery, but
white is the predominating color in
this department, as elsewhere. Lace
hosiery is a leader again, but the en-
broidered hosiery that was in such
demand last season is seen no more,
except in a few special designs. In
the same way, the highly colorei
stripes and plaids that were consid-
cred correct in mems hosiery last sea-
son have disappeared, being replaced
by the plain colors and black.

WAS WEAK and DIZZY
Or. Williams Pink Pills Restored the
Patient to Perfect Health
And StrenQth,

Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. 576 South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mass, has
passed through all experience which
proves that some of the greatest bless.
ings of life may lie within easy reach
and yet be found only by mere chance.
A few years ago while she was employed
in the mills she was suddenly seized
with dizziness and great weakness. 81

came so dizzy that it seemed as if the

The secret of the power of DIR. Will

such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact
that they make new blood, and every or
gan and even every tiny nerve in the
body feels the stir of new tide of
strength.

druggists or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, 30 cents per box, six

No Permanently Rich.

1t is quite unnecessary in this coun-
try. says DR.. Charles w. Eliot, of Har-
ward, in Worlds Work, to feel alarm
about the rise of a permanent class
of very rich people. To transmit great
estates is hard. They get divided or
dispersed. The heirs are often unable
to keep their inherited treasures, or
If, by the help of lawyers and other
hired agents, they manage to keep
them, they cease to accumulate, and
only spend. This is one of the natural
effects on his children of the very rich
mans mode of life. With rarest excep-
ton the very rich men of to-day are
not the sons of the very rich men of
30 years ago, but are new men. 1t will
be the same 80 years hence. The wise
rich father will try to put his sons
occupations which have strong intel
lectual and moral interest, and in
which pecuniary independence is
distinct advantage. Such are the pub
lie service in elective or appointive Of
fees, the ministry, scientific reasearch,
social service, and the management of
charities and of serviceable endowed
institutions. Inherited wealth enables
young men to devote themselves early
to these fine employments, which are
not pecuniarily remunerative, but yet
possess the highest sort of interest and
offer all the rewards of beneficent in.

Whenever a spectacular fire paints red

Intimate friends and sweethearts
often exchange gifts on May day, the
little tokens being concealed in a box
or basket of flowers. In this busy
workaday world, it is good thing to
remember all these special days that

being crowded out and the revival OF
these old world festivals is one of the
most hopeful signs of the times. Ma

to look up the history and romance

Health of School Cbildren.

Proper attention to the health Of
children is an excellent civic invest
ment. A great part of the diseases
which develop as chronic in after life
could be obviated by closer medical
superstition of children's health. Es-
pecially defects in hearing, eyesight
or teeth can be checked in early life,
while in later years they become too
confirmed to yield to treatment. The
investigation of the board of educa-
ton have shown that a majority of
the school children have either de-
fective eyesight or tendency to bad
vision. 1t is now proposed to ex-
anime the school childrens teeth al
so. This experiment has been tried in
Germany, where attention to the
teeth has improved the eyesight and
the hearing by improving the diges-
ton of the children treated. 1t is as
necessary for a child to have sound
senses and good bodily health as men
tai development. In the majority of
the occupations at which the present
school children of the present will in
future years earn their livelihood,
sound health and a good physique will
be OF more value than education frills.

Nav Day Doings.

The old custom of keeping the first
day of May is being revived, especially
by people who live in the country, who
make practice of sending baskets
filled with wild flowers TO their friends
who are so unfortunate as to be de-
barred from gathering them personal
ly The city people observe the day
by sending baskets of fruit and flow
ers to the sick, or TO their friends who
may be in sorrow, and the children
have revived the English method of
hanging May" baskets on the door
knobs of their friends and then run
ming away before the ring is answered.
These baskets may be made at home or
may be of an inexpensive kind pur-
chased for a trihe. They should con-
tain preferably wild flowers, fruit, a
simple gift: and one young hostess de-
livered her invitations in this novel
way, hanging the baskets to the door
by loop OF ribbon.
For a center piece at a May party,
have pole some 30 inches high, sup
ported on a firm, fiat base about II
inches across. Fasten inch-wide rib
bon of the delicate pastel shades at the
top of the pole. Give these a few
twists and then carry them to each
place, where they are tied to the ham
die of miniature baskets bearing the
name of the guest, also holding the
sailed nuts.

tainment scheme the hostess may have
