NEEDN'T PAY FOR COSTLY GOWN
French Judge Decides In Hubby's
Favor and Warns Dressmakers.

New York.-Paris courts have taken
another twist at dressmakers' suits
for extravagant gowns and unpaid
bills. From the French capital comes
a decree that will interest dressmak-
ers as well as women who have a
penchant for running up bills which
they know hubby can never pay. A
fashionable dressmaker in Paris de-
manded $500 for 81 gowns supplied
to a woman within two months. and
sued the woman and her husband.
The French court awarded $4,000
to the plaintiff. pointing out that even
if the husband gives his wife authority
to purchase toilets it must be pre-
sumed that he intends her to be rea-
sonable The court rules that it is
the duty of dressmakers to inquire
whether orders given by the wife ac-
cord with the husbands financial
status.
The court also cautions tradesmen
that they should show prudence and
reserve when orders are offered which
are obviously exaggerated and extrav-
agant.

New Petticoats Are of Satin.

A satin finish, or at any rate a GER
tain amount of sheen, is noticeable on
nearly every kind of material this
season, even on the dress Innings and
under petticoats. A satin finished
material is always more effective than
a dull silk, and for this reason also re-
uuires less trimming decided
advantage. This year things have
been rather reversed, for there are
many reception and house gowns of
lace. chiffon, net and taffeta silks, but
for the evening even the debutantes
prefer satins and satin silks.
With a satin gown an underskirt of
the same shade and having the same
soft sheen is naturally more attrac-
tive than the too sharp contrast of a
dull silk would be, but until just lately
this scheme has seldom been carried
out. Satin has been used for chiffon,
and all transparent textures are at
present being made up over satin fin
ish silk.

New silks and GAUGES.

The gauzes and sheer silks seem to
have reached the acme of develop
ment, for in the latest patterns the
manufacturers have not improved
upon them. They are new from the
standpoint of coloring and exquisite
design, but are without striking inno-
vations of weave or texture. They
are, nevertheless, better than ever
suited to the present styles in cos
tunes, especially ceremonious tot
lettes. When of solid color many of
these silk gauze fabrics are underlaid
with gold tissue, which is never more
regal than it appears under black and
whita.

A Precious Heritage.

Sweetness of temper is a precious
heritage. 1t gives beauty to every
thing. 1t keeps its windows open to-
wards the spice country, and fills the

crown of age. Blessed is he whose
life looks out upon the land of Beulah,
and whose soul is responsive to the
outlying vision. "-Exchange

GosOns of Soft Corduroy
a Speciality of the Season.

Every season has it's speciality, and
this year it seems to be the street
gown of the soft corduroy velvet
velour de chasse, the French call it.
1t really has little in common with
the old-time corduroy, thick, heavy
and practical. 1t is all silk, comes in
the most delicate tones, and may be
manipulated as easily as chiffon
velvet It is generally made up as a
two-piece gown, for it is less formal
than plain velvet, and it seems to be
first choice as a material for dressy
two-piece gowns. A new model made
up in this material is an odd combina-
ton of cape and blouse-that is, the
front of the gown tucks in the belt like
a blouse, while behind it falls from
the shoulder like a short cape. This
is rounded, with the points just touch
ing the waist line, and trimmed at the
shoulders with passementerie orna-
ments which hold the cape in to the
lining The cape is made in piece
with the gown, but as it is half loose
the blouse must be continued all
about. The model in question is set
up in pale olive green velour de
chasse, with heavy cream guipure
forming a fiat collar and cuffs to the
elbow sleeves. A neat little idea is
seen on the front of the blouse; the
sides turn over and are held down
with small passementerie ornaments.
There is a tiny vest of black and
white spotted plush. The belt is OF
black satin with a white pearl buckle.
1t might be remarked here that
mother-of-pearl ornaments are very
modish. The material is used for
bracelets, necklaces, hatpins and
combs, as we'll as for such dress Access
series as buttons and buckles. The
large buttons used on coats are cut
from beautiful pieces of mother-of-
pearl, and are sometimes carved; in
both cases they are beautiful.

genblatter. It's impossible; | sounded
the princess, and she deliberately hint
ed she prefers not to have Mrs.
Smythe presented to her"
And now you won't, of course, get
the house for Easter, | said, with
deepest sympathy.
MY dear Marjorie" said Lady Isa-
bel, please do not run away with the
idea that people are always thinking
about themselves am merely consid-
ering Mrs. amington-Smythe-
Il might have known it." I said peni-
tently but why consider Mrs.
Smythe at all?"
We'll, you see, I've asked her to
come to my party tomorrow, especial
" to be introduced to the princess,
and''-she lifted an envelope-"now
I've had this delicate intimation l real
" don't know what to do. You see,
| am giving this party on purpose, and
if / don't introduce Mrs. Smythe she
will be furious, and if / pretend l
haven't had the princess note and pre-
sent the woman it will be worse still.
Whatever shall | do, Marjorie? For
goodness sake, don't sit there staring
at me, but tell me what on earth to
do"
Whom would it pay you best to
please?"
Lady Isabel looked absolutely
shocked. MY dear girl, for goodness
sake, don't be so hatefully crude"
then she added meditatively, "of
course I'd like to please the princess
best"
1t is rather awkward" I admitted.
What a pity they have both accept
ed"
Yes, isn't it; but people only do ac-
cept. as rule, when you wish they
wouldn't"
What will you do?''
Il don't know" she answered, IT
must think it out; in the meantime,
must write my letters, and then we'll
go and have luncheon"
Doesn't she look dear; she really
is quite lovely woman, only l do
wish she'd dress just teeny weeny
bit better said Lady Isabel, lavishing
her usual qualified praise on her es-
pecial guest.
The princess crossed over to US at
the moment, and the qualified praise
ceased somewhat abruptly.
It was crowded party, and Lady
Isabel. radiantly successful, was fit
ting gaily from guest to guest. Sud-
denly saw her face change, and a
look OF establishment and dismay pass
over it like flash, and then recover
ing herself, as l verify believe only
Isabel can, she turned to greet Mrs.
Leamington-Smyth
How are you. dear? So glad you
could come, after all; how very. very
sweet of you, and what a pretty
gown"
I've only just returned to town"
said Mrs. Leamington-Smythe. 1--WE

Many Women at Their
Best at TluO Score.

The old description, 'fair, fat and
forty" is quite out of date, and the
woman of 40 is now generally as
pleasant to look upon and as young
and active in body as the woman of
eight-and-twenty or thirty. Thanks
to tennis and other sports women
keep their trimness far longer than
they used to do, and at 40, instead of
being unattractive, elderly frumps,
are often at their very best. The rea-
son is not far to seek; they have
learned to use all their charms and
gifts in the most effective manner,
and they have no longer the conceit
and arrogance which so often seem
a part and parcel of youth.
BY the time she has reached her
fourth decade woman has rubbed off,
in contact with the world, her rough
edges She is now dfgn1fied and self
possessed, whereas she was formerly
awkward and shy. Now she knows
how to listen as well as to talk, and
when she speaks she has something
to say which is worth hearing, for her
experience has given her the art of
pleasing others, and also a knowl-
edge of men and matters which girl
often assumes only to expose her ig-
norance. In matters of dress, too,
she is more successful than formerly.
She knows more about the colors she
takes care, as no girl would do, that
the cut of her clothes is just right
for her figure.
The woman of 40, if a spinster, is
often far more attractive to men than
her fat younger sister. The fact is
she is better educated, has truer, san
er views of life and it's problems, and
has outlived the time when, il ever,
marriage seemed to her the goal OF
existence. Now she probably regards
happy marriage as the ideal state, but,
knowing how very many marriages
are the reverse of happy, she is thank
full for such joys as she mas, ana
makes the most of them. She is,
therefore, good friends with men, talk
ing to them as simply and naturally
as she does to women, and, Wnlle
accepting any little attentions that
man may offer, she does not look for
any special motive in those attentions.
If she marries, the marriage will prob
ably be a happy one, but it is an IN
likely event, and she no longer trou-
bles to consider her men friends as
possible suitors.
The "fair, fat and forty women are
long-dead, and their successors OF to-
day are among the most fascinating
members of society, and certainly
power in the land.

OF Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead Headache, backache and
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women of to-day, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for a bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. If they would just get
a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take
them regularly every night for time,
all their trouble would disappear, as
these pills regulate the organs of the
feminine system. The same dose al
ways has the same effect, no matter
how long they are used.
Brandreth's pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

Saved by a Soma.

A boy was amusing himself by
watching the birds that were flying
around him. At length beautiful
bobolink perched on a rough Dough of
an apple tree near by.
The boy picked up stone, and got
ready to throw it at the bird The
birds throat swelled, and forth came
the song: "A-link, a-link, a-link, bobo-
ling, bobolink, a-no-sweet, a-no-sweet,
| know it, | know it, a-link, a-link;
don't throw it, throw it, throw it."
And the boy did not throw the
stone, but dropped it on the ground.
why didn't you stone him, my
boy? You might have killed him and
carried him home"
The little fellow looked up and re-
piled, Couldn't COS he sang so."-

The Need Of Grit.

I believe many chicks die during
the summer because they do not get
enough grit, declares writer in Farm
and Home. The past summer my sup
ply of grit ran out and an unusual
number of chicks died of bowel
trouble. AS soon as I began to feed
grit again not nearly so many died.
l make my own grit. secured a
supply of limestone and crushed it to
the desired fineness and it gave excel
lent results. l am a great believer in
charcoal for chicks, and, indeed, older
birds are all the better for having free
access to it. During the past summer
have had excellent results from
using only dry feed.

GOOD POULTRYMEN.
Some of the Ways in Which They May
Be Known.

1t is never difficult to Judge a poul-
tryman by the conditions which exist
around the yard and houses.
A good poultryman will keep every
thing neat and clean and provide
warm, and comfortable houses, with
nice scratching sheds. He will keep
only pure breeds, and these he will
select carefully and Gull out all poor
specimens.
He will feed carefully a variety of
fDods-never too much or too little
and will at all times see that mites do
not get any Roadway in the houses.
He will provide separate house for
the pullets and will never allow them
to- roost in trees or on fences.
All in all, everything will tell at a
glance that he is the man who will
make success.

Cases Of rheumatism.


when was boy of SIXTEEN says
Mr.. Otto H. Rose, a retired grocer, Of
1926 Lexington Avenue, Indianapolis.
Ind, II met with serious accident
which injured the bone Of my head
over the right eye. l recovered from
the accident to all appearances, but
not many years after began to have
intense pains in the injured bone,
which came on every year and would
last from few days to several weeks.
II consulted the doctors who told
me that / was suffering from neural
gia. The sight of my right eye was
affected, so that at times / could
scarcely see out of it, while both eyes
watered constantly. During these at
tacks I was often dizzy from the ter
rible pains. The pains came on every
morning and passed away in the after
noon. / never suffered from the pain
at night.
Il tried without success to get re-
lief until a friend told me to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills. When l had
taken q few boxes / felt the pain
growing less intense and in a much
shorter time than / had hoped for
was entirely cured. / have recon-
mended the pills to several persons,
who have used them with good results.

Meat Famine In GERMANY.

The Farmers Tribune notes the fact
that the meat famine continues with
out abatement in Germany. The de-
crease for the second quarter of 1906
from the slaughter of last year
amounts to 225,000 head. Not only
are the animals not increasing in pro-
portion to the population, but the re-
strictions placed by Germany upon the
importation of American live stock
and meat supplies have greatly ag-
gravated the situation.

They will catch practically all the

or. a basket can be placed on the floor
directly beneath the opening between
the boards, and with hoe the drop
pings on one board can be showed off
into the basket and pulled forward
into the other. Having two boards,
and these loose, remarks Farm Jour-

How handy it is to set the lantern

not, you are an exception; and, any

will hold the lantern even If is does
