MRS. ELvA aARRER TOWARDS

There are three critical stages in q
woman'S life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood. or the change from
care free girl to budding womanhoOd,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each Of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another OF these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
ceSsfullv than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons. two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

PETTlcoATs OF THE MOMENT.
Different Styles and Materials Have
Their Admirers.

Pongee p~etticoats with embroidered
flounces are much worn and liked, be-
cause they not only give good service
and do not soil readily, but also may
be washed whenever they need be.
For the heavier hard skirt
mohair is still the usual choice, though
various part silk or mercerized stGffs
have put forward claims.
A mohair nounce for wet weather or
rough wear may be attached to the
silk top Of one OF the adjustable
founce p%etticoats, and mohair flounces
are sometimes joined to the wool or
silk jersey skirt tops which are the de-
light Of many women who want per-
feet fitting ~petticoats without the
bother Of having them made. Silk
hounces are, however, the usual thing
upon these jersey tops and it would, be
hard to find a petticoat more satisfac-
tory for general service than one OF
these models,

ways associated with dainty petticoats

Never overlooked a Chance.

When Bishop Talbot, now OF the
central Pennsylvania diocese, was
''the cowboy bishop" of Idaho and
Wyoming he never overlooked an op-
portunity of securing contributions
for the missionary work in which he
took such delight. On one occasion,
while attending a meeting of church
dignitaries in st. Paul, he was chatting
with some other clergymen on the
steps of his hotel when several no.
boes came along. One of them ap-
preached and asked for aid. Bishop
Talbot took him aside and after a
short but earnest conversation the
other tramps saw something pass
from hand to hand, What did he
give you?" asked the other hoboes
when they all started away, Didn't
give me nothing" vas the disguised
reply, Il gave him a dollar for his
blamed new cathedral in Laramie"

Evening Gowns of Brocade.

The younger as well as the older
matrons, those recently married as
those wish young daughters making
their appearance as debutantes, show
this season a preference for brocades
for evening gowns. There Is much to
be said in favor of b~rocades. They
are rich, d~ignifed, require little or no
trimming to make an effective ball
or dinner gown or to adorn an opera
box; they wear well. outlastlng a
dozen perishable chiffon and tulle
creations, and they are handsome and
a be had in many designs and col
orings.
This season brocades having a satin
background, broken by leaves, flow.
ers or designs in a different shade OF
heavier satin, are more worn than
other brocades by fashionable women

Those who were the recipients of
the following invitation were excited
almost to the point Of spontaneous
combustion before the night indicated

bundles and a bird cage or two, not
forgetting band boxes. Linen busters,
wells and caps, listers and old-fash-
Toned shawls added to the comical ap-
pearance of the guests. They were

Proper Accessories Needed if Get-Uk
Is to Be Correct.

1t cannot be doubted that a woman
is much more fastidious and much
more careful of her appearance if she
has the proper belongings on her
dressing table.
To have to rush around looking for
pins, to let the hair go half falling
down because no hairpins can be
found, to be unable to see the back of
ones gown because a hand-glass is
missing will result in a careless get-up.
1t is every woman's business to look
well.
1t is her duty to be a rest for the
eyes of men in general, men who are
tired of locking at ugly things.
So while a woman need not make
her toilet the work of her life, she can
easily make it a success.
The quickest and best way to do
this is to furnish the toilet table prop.

For present wear, it has been fash
Toned of all sorts of materials from
cheviots to broadcloths. silks, chiffons
and velvets. The guimpe is self-color
or harmonizing with the frock and OF
a dressy material as silk, net lace or
chiffon.
The trimming employed on the
gown is often used on the jumper, but
it is always individualiZed by some
distinct touch. The sleeves may be
of the fashionable kimono or Mikado
genre, Sling" or just merely Gaping
the shoulder or. extending to within
an inch or two of the elbows. Or the
sleeves may be shaped circular or
gathered full, falling over the guimpe.
Again there are no sleeves at all,
merely a wide fold outlining the arm
hole.
A strikingly pretty little jumper
gown was recently made for general
utility as the wearer expressed it.
The material was a fine, black
cheviot; the skirt plated about the
hips and stitched fiat several inches
below the hips.
The bottom of the skirt was finished
with a deep hem. The jumper waist
was laid in three wide tucks that ex-
tended off the shoulder line, and three
little gilt buttons extended dlagonally
from the shoulders. The top Of jump
err was cut in a deep U outlined by a
bias band of plaid taffeta with scarlet
perdominating. Directly in front was
a little band eli finely plated silk with
fan-shaped ends breaking the monot-
ony of the pfain band.
The guimpe Of plaid taffeta was
laid in fine tucks, an inch wide band
outlining a wee chemisette of bebe
Irish lace, finished by a double fold
of the silk. The sling sleeves were
bordered with bias bands of the taf-
feta.
The little jumper waist Of chenille
and velvet illustrated is n of the
prettiest of fancies seen in this line.
Quite striking Is the skeleton jumper
of the black velvet forming bretelles.
The plaid jumper shows the very lat
est idea for bodice with Japanese
blouse and sleeves. :

There is no more perplexing trouble

cases, especially in women, in which
there is no acute disease but in which

to be half blinded with pain. These
spells would often last for over an
hour. My blood seemed to be in a
very poor condition and my hands and
feet were like ice. I seemed to be
growing weaker and weaker and could
not get around to do my work In

and the least excitement would bring
