NEW IDEAS IN EMBROIDERY
Double Motive in Working Of Designs
Upon Taffeta.

Women who like to embroider can
get up some very pretty designs using
the new embroidered silks as patterns
One woman made up a very pretty
brown taffeta in a medium shade, and
upon this she marked out little cir
cles, diamonds and arrow shaped silk
Of precisely the same shade as the
background. 1t was a great deal OF
work, but the effect was indescribably
rich.
It has been discovered by some one
that the working of designs upon tat
feta not only improves the general ap-
pearance of the silk, giving it very
expensive look. but it also makes the
taffeta wear better, which is much in
it's favor. Taffeta that has been
strengthened by the working of little
silk figures all over it will outwear
two or three times the taffeta that is
made up plain. But the working OF
the figures certainly is tiresome, call.
ing for lots of patience and good eye
sight,
It looks just now as though brown
would be worn a great deal and the
shops are laying in some very hand
some things in brown satin, brown
taffeta, brown velvet, both light an6
heavy, and all the other brown fabrics
cloth, serge, ladies' cloth and broad
cloth. One can do so much with
brown, and it is a. color that is Away:
son ladylike and: appropriate. 1t is
hard to go wrong, in dress matters, ii
one clings to brown. +. 49,.
One of the loveliest> Of. brown tat

NERVOUS COLLAPSE

sinking Spells, Headaches and
rheumatism all Yield to Dr..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 Co.
dar street, Quincy, ILL.,, says: Ever
since I had nervous prostration, about
7hirteen years ago, I have had periodical
spells Of complete exhaustion. The doc
ior said my nerves were shattered. Any
excitement or unusual activity would
throw me into state of ifelessness.
At the beginning my strength would
come back in a moderate time after each
tttack, but the period Of weakness kept
.engthening until at last I would lie
helpless as many as three hours at
stretch. had dizzy feelings, palpita-
ton of the heart, misery after eating,
hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu-
matte pains in the back and hips. The
doctor did me so little good that gave
up his treatment, and really feared that
my case was incurable
"When I began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills my appetite grew keen,
my food no longer distressed me, my
nerves were quoted to a degree that T
nad not experienced Tor years and my
strength returned. The fainting spells
left ME entirely after I had used the
third box of the pills, and my friends
say that I am looking better than I have
done for the past fifteen years.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are recon-
mended for diseases that come from I'M
poverished blood such as annmia. rheu
matisln, debility and disorders of the
nerves such as neuralgia, nervous pros
tration and partial paralysis. They have
cured the most stubborn indigestion.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills agree with the
most delicate stomach, quiet all ner-
yousness, stir up every organ to do it's
proper work and give strength that lasts.

MISTAKE MADE IN FURNISHING
THE HOME.
overcrowded Rooms Are Not Things
Of Beauty-Gaudy Ornaments
Out Of Place and in s.
the Way.

With the simple life New Workers
are practicing simplicity in their
house furnishings as we'll as in their
diet. In this they are emulating a
condition that has long existed in Eu-
rope. OvercroWding homes with fur
nishings and concentrations had here
tOfOre been regarded.as an American
ism, so. seldom are the houses OF our
cousins across the water thus treated.
The great French salons and the
prominent London drawing rooms,
where wealth abides, are elegant
through their simplicity. The homes
of the working class are simple and
gaudy ornaments are seldom seen.
Some women have absolutely false
ideas of economy. This is nowhere
more apparent than when they buy
household furnishings.
Everything in the house that does
not add something to the convenience,
happiness or education of the family
or some member of the family is an
extravaganza.
The woman who would expect her
relations-in-law to fly at her with ham,
mer and tongs if she were to buy
six dollar pair of curtains would calm
ly and with no thought spend that
amount Of money buying six vases at
one dollar each merely that she might
have something to set around to fill up
the bare places and empty corners.
Don't fill up the bare places Don't
try to fill up the empty corners. Homes
are too full of useless bits, unneces-
sary filters.
they never mean anything to anyone
in the family; they make work, for
they must be busted and kept in place,
and they make a mess of the room
that might, without them, be tidy and
restful to sit down in. Besides, they
do cost money in the end, even though
the original cost is only ten or Is
cents.
10 be sure, every house needs "a
vase or two for flowers, but so many
OF the vases one sees are too fancy
for use and are good for nothing but
to stand upon the mantel and be dust
ed.
Often a really beautiful picture is
not noticed because it is surrounded
by a number of cheap, unattractive
prints that have been hung on the
walls as alters.
Many times the beauty Of rare
piece of glass is unobserved because
of the filters that are grouped about
it,
1t is not uncommon to see a hand
some piece Of furniture pushed into
corner while the room is crowded
with commonplace rockers The
beauty of the good piece of furniture
is lost sight of because the filters con-
ceal the good points.
If there is anything good in a room
;,ive it chance. Don't spoil it with
filters.
The money spent for filters would
in time: buy something really worth
while, something worth having. To
save money On little things to spend
for big things is economy, when
house is to be furnished.-From What
tc-Eat
