NEW FAD In BLOUSES
LACE GARMENTS THREADEDWITH
SILK OR VELVET RIBBON.
Some Pretty Ideas For Seasonable
Garments In Either silk or Lace
The Effect of a Soft Tie.

The lace blouse, everywhere recog-
nized as marvelously economical still
is kept outside of the range of com
monness by new ideas in it's selection
and treatment. Instead of the over
worked way of bringing it into har-
mony with the skirt by means of rib
bon bretelles and girdle, it now is
threaded with ribbon, either soft vel
vet or with silk cut bias, and hemmed
with the narrowest roll possible
This silk drawn through and either
knotted like tie or having the ends
simply pendant in front is charming
Ia 1t has fringe knotted into them and
any pretty, rich decoration of en-
broidery stitches added. The velvet
is finished off with clusters of loops
like rosettes and sometimes will be
started half way down the back and
threaded over the shoulders, ending
with the rosettes at just that point
on the bust which will bring the long
lire from the shoulder down to the
turn of the figure, now raved over
by dressmaker artists.
Or the soft tie will be set around
under the arms like the finish of a
bolero, drawing it up as it reaches the
front and leaving the ends to hang to
the waist.
Another way is to thread it around
the shoulders in the line of a bertha,
although this only can be done when
there is long shoulder seam. The
largest meshed laces are in demand
for this pretty fashion, another form
of which is carried out with gold rib
bon laid over backing of cloth like
the skirt.
Economical and pretty for evening
petticoats are those of white net
greatly beribboned. They are easily
cleaned and even washable and are
equally pretty to wear with smart
afternoon frocks and any second sea-
son white silk or brocade petticoat
can be easily 'rejuvenated by it's
iowner with flounces of thick net
trimmed with wash insertion to match
or with wash ribbon.
What everybody does not know is
that fallle, the new SILK standby for
blouses will wash with great success
| in the white and if care is taken even
| in the pink and pale colors. An exqui.
site blouse of this silk has shoulder
| tabs and corresponding tab coming
out from under the stock in front OF
the material, edged with real baby
Irish lace an inch wide. These tabs
are embroidered with large disks OF
white silk, which also appear with the
lace on the cuffs of the short sleeves
This blouse, which, by the way, is
copied from famous waistmaker's
model, is tastefully worn by its owner
with white pearl beads and an ex
tremely long bar pin of the same Ro
man pearls, set SO as to conceal all
of the structure and to stand out in
unspoiled Wilderness like the string OF
beads.

Lace Coats for Evening.

Lace coats will be worn for evening
and for day and they assume many
forms. In Irish lace they sink into
the belt of a V-shaped trimming of
velvet, which borders the sleeves Of
the same. straightforward coats en-
tire!y of lace, made after the order of
the paletots, of years ago, three-quar-
ter length, are a good example. For
day wear lace coats are often supple
mented by a good deal of velvet,
which covers the back and the front
of the bodice portion, the lace, as 1t
were, being appliQued on to 1t.

MRS.NELLIE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is q source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, h
blues. sleeplessness. and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains,nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If so,
your nerves are in shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.

new ORLEANS MOLASSES.

Among the wholesome foods which
the pure food law will, or ought, to re-
store to Northern tables is pure New
Orleans molasses. In the years 'before
the war" it was in general use all over
the Northern States, as we'll as in the
South. 1t was staple in cookery and
was asweetener for griddle cakes. Chill
dren grew fat and kept healthy on
luncheons of bread and molasses. There
was nothing like the New Orleans arti-
Gle for making molasses candy. In the
State prisons cornmeal mush and New
Orleans molasses was standard ration;
and prisoners throve on it quite as well
as they do now on bill Of fare more
costly than that of the free common
laborer.
But with the close of the war, and
before the harried sugar plantations of
Louisiana were restored to their former
productivity, came the era of glucose
and various kinds of manufactured
syrups. To enable their product to
compete with these in the excepting
qualities" now demanded by Northern
dealers, the shippers of New Orleans
molasses adopted the mistaken policy
of "doping it" with preservatives
These ruined its fitness for the human
stomach, impaired its value for candy,
and with the cheapening of glucose
products, finally brought the demand
down to a figure SO Insignificant that
the Louisiana planters took to feeding
their molasses to stock, using it for sur
facing roadways, or even throwing it
into the rivers to get rid of it.
But the food value of the real arti-
Gle" of New Or ems molasses remains.
If it should now be reintroduced, in its
purity, to the Northern market, and
people should test its qualities, it would
quickly re-establish itself in favor. 1t
will not keep" as long as some syrups
now on the market, but the dealer who
keeps himself supplied in quantities of
barrel or two would, after advertising
the fact, find little or none of it spelling
on his hands. Says an article in Health
Culture:
''Molasses and buttermilk are the beau
filters Southern beauties depend upon.
Molasses, though 70 per cent carohy-
drates, does not overWork the liver and
render it torpid as does sugar and
starches when eaten too freely.
Molasses is cleanser; it acts as mild
purgative and has healthy effect on
the mucous membrane through the d.
gestive tract 1 regard it as very bene-
fetal to patient with constipated
habit
The famous French beauty, Nine.
Recamier, is said to have been fed when
a girl largely on diet of molasses and
brown bread. Jamaica negroes, famous
for their sturdy. good health, are great
consumers of molasses. Its introduce
ton in large boarding school for young
ladies is said to have been followed by
a remarkable improvement in their
health. Just why it can be more freely
used without impairment TO the diges-
tive functions than sugar. we do not
know; but in this respect it is similar to

METHODS OF THE NATURE FAKERs.

From the towering shoulders of stur-
dy John Burroughs dilletante nature
students who formulate flamboyant
fancies to amuse the children have
been enabled to take their spectacular
flight into enyiable literary notoriety.
They constitute the new school of nat
ural history, They gather their woody
characters around them, give each a
doll name, and having invested them
with transcendental attributes and ma
tional faculties, assign to each its part
in the sylvan vaudeville, and operate
them like marionettes. They make
them think and say and do clever things
which in reality are but reflection of
the story teller's own personality. By
thus personifying grade creatures they
win the sympathy and the applause of
the ductile crowd; but this is not natu-
raj history, any more than a havoring
extract is the essence.
Yet this so-called.new school affects
to minimize the old. 1--WE are they
who ought to speak," and the loud
voiced have their inning But the nat
uralists of the old school, the only real
school of natural history, who have
been wont to hobnob with the forest
enizens for decades, elect to be where
practical woodcraft plays an heroic
part rather than silly vaudeville.
Commend me to field naturalist who
is as able to apply his woods lore in
emergencies as to explain why the tip
of skunk's tail is white and that of an
ermine black. Let the writer's of the
so-called new school. if there is such in
actual existence, work out new varia-
lions on the basic theme. But let them

One of the chief advantages to be
gained from liberal education is the
removal of narrowing barriers and the
uprOoting of home prejudices. The pi-
GUS and selfish old soul who prayed
that his immediate own should be guard
ed and cared for in the following
words:
"GOd bless me and my wife,
My son John and his wife
Us four
And no more. Amen"
That narrow old soul stood for the
prejudice of ignorance and the conceit
of provincialism.
Often in scanning the town or city
columns of the family newspaper we
find the correspondent has told all
about the goings and comings and do
ings of those who are of his own name
and kin, of those who belong to his
church and his lodge and his Grange;
and while meaning we'll by so doing, he
has been very unjust to all who do not
move in the charmed circles of the cor
respondents personal knowledge. Ed
ucation gets us out of these confin.
ing ruts and makes US cosmopolitan.
And in our studying, let us study ear
nestly to get away from provincialism
and parochialism.-Bangor Daily News.
