RIBBON MUCH USED
STILL THE MOST POPULAR FORM
OF TRIMMING.
Separate Waists Formed Altogether
of this Material Are Seen-An-
tique Colorings in Demand.

Ribbon trimming proved so popular
this summer that it is to be employed
to no little extent during the autumn
and coming winter. The nets show
the chief evidence of the popularity
of ribbon as adornment, but any num-
Der of waist house gowns and even
elaborate evening dresses depend al
most entirely upon figured taffeta and
brocade ribbon for the finishing effect.
In truth, many separate waists are
formed absolutely of wide ribbon,
while with some of the prettiest chit
fon and lace skirts are waists solely
of ribbon and trimmed with lace or
chiffon like the skirt.
One immense advantage in brocade
and lowered ribbon is that it fire.
ouently makes certain colors possible
that otherwise would be most unbe-
coming. For example, many women
70 whom ordinarily pale blue is most
unbecoming can look exceedingly we'll
in a gown made UP with trimmings OF
mink or red, and vice versa. Pink,
which can be trimmed with blue oil
the latest shade, is generally pre-
ferred
An exceedingly pretty and effective
afternoon gown was formed complete
w of alternate strips of plain blue and
bright lowered ribbon. The bodice
front and back was a deep shaped
woke of Lierre lace, the silk being
bordered with a fine piping OF black
velvet and where the material crossed
over in front were tiny black velvet
soirettes. There was no added belt,
but the lowered ribbon about the
waist fitted perfectly, fastening across
in front below the lace vest. The
elbow sleeves were finished on with
narrow lace ruchings and little velvet
soirettes. The skirt was. untrimmed.
denending for effect solely upon the
contrasting rows of ribbon. The rib
hon was a large flower design, with
shaded pink and red roses.
This autumn a large number of the
bandsomest afternoon and evening
wraps are trimmed with wide collar
and revers, and turned-back cuffs OF
wide ribbon in green. In most cases
dull colorings are preferred for wraps
although here and there are seen
bright crimson brocades and brilliant
blues that are charming at this time
of year. The so-called antique color
ings are much in demand among the
gay Powered ribbons. For hats rib
bon of all possible kinds and colorings
plays an important role at the present

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia r. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.

lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which

Plajds of Many CoIors.

For ordinary day wear plaid and
striped effects are all the rage. Claret
shades combined with black are in
favor, also blue and green, and gray,
white and black. In some materials
the stripes graduate from fine to
heavy, giving the effect of shaded
stripe. In all designs. whether they
be striped, checked or plaided, the
colors are carefully softened and sub
dued. and so tremendously blended
that no conspicuous color arises.
Browns and greens, blues and greens.
reds and blacks, and plum shades with
black, and all the varying autumn
tints of the trees are favored in these
plaids.

Diamond Ewes.

In the beautiful church of st. Paula

monds set in a rather odd place.
These stones were given to the church
by Isabella H. of Spain. Above the
column of the inner aisles and tram
sept is a row of medallions of all
the popes These medallions, although
they look much smaller from the floor,
are really five feet in diameter.
Viewed from a certain position, the
eyes of one of the popes seem to emit
lightning flashes at times and at
others to glow with a lurid light
Those are the diaEonds donated by
the Spanish queen.

HIGH LICENSE BILL PASSED.
Exciting Scenes in the Ohio Legisla-
ture Yesterday.

Amid scenes of excitement almost UMPIRE
cedented in Ohio legislative procedure the
senate yesterday afternoon passed the All
ken house bill, increasing the saloon tax
from $3.50 to $1,000 and sealed Its action by
voting down a motion to reconsider. The
Hobbies Of the senate chamber Were packed
to suffocation by spectators long before the
hour for the senate to convene.
The advocates of the $1,000 tax went into
the session with only eighteen votes, one
less than a constitutional majority.
The roll call showed eighteen votes for
the bill and eighteen against it. Mr.. Beatty,
who had voted against the btll, rather than
allow the measure to fail entirely immedi-
ately changed his vote, giving it a consti-
tutional majority.
A shout that resounded through the entire
capitol went up from the temperance people
In the lobby. and during the attending ex-
element Senators Berry, Denman, Boehmer
and Lauman also changed their votes, CIV
ing the measure four more than required.
The Aiken bill will go into effect imme-
diately upon being signed by the governor,
or within ten days, should 1t not be signed
or vetoed. The brewers claim the bill will
drive half the saloons of Ohio, or about

He began his experiments in 1892 basing
his researches on the assumption that the
diseases referred to are owing to an infec-

unknown organism. He believes that he has
discovered a cure, consisting of an injection

Home there, was slightly injured recently
while pacticing with the music squad, which
was being trained by a man named Ben

Benbow, 1t was alleged, threw drum
stick at the Mettler boy striking him in

and cutting the lip. Supt. Heller declared,
however, that the stick which hit Mettler
had been used by the director a baton,
and had slipped from his hand by accident.
The trustees after investigation decided that
the mishap was an accident. They will
