USING OLD NIGHT DRESSES.
How They Can Be Made Over Into
 Serviceable Petticoats.

When night dresses become worn about the yolSes and sleeves and are ready to be discarded, instead of tear. ing up the skirt parts for dust cloths and the like, make them into petit. coats for the children or for yourself. Usually night dresses are of two or more widths and there always is ample to convert into at least three petticoats for the children or one for a woman. Bands of insertion may be added, and a narrow ruffle around the bottom, with a founce set on of lace and tucks.
 An effective skirt made from a castoff nainsook night dress had a knee fiounce made of sheer dotted swiss with two bands of valenciennes lace insertion set in, and rufie of the swiss edged with the lace finish. iug the bottom. The under or dust ruffle also was of the swiss and edged with lace, and the effect was delight. fully soft and iuffy. in fact, just the thing for wearing under dimity or lawn dress.
 Children's petticoats now are made SO full that two and half widths of material Is not too much to use for one. Many of the petticoats this year are made to match the little dress with which they are intended to be worn, and the fivecent laces i'll a long felt want for trimming. as they are dainty, effective, and wear fairly well.

Tugs Towing Barge Through Soc
 Locks.

the Suez canal; twice the combined annual tonnage of London and Liver pool, two of the worlds greatest sea ports: and more than 50,000,0 tons in excess of that which entered and left New York,
 If the total amount of grain which was carried last season were made into flour, and to 1t were added the flour tonnage. the aggregate would make 42,936,6S3 barrels. From a bar rel of flour 250 one-pound loaves of bread can be made. Estimating that every person eats an average of one half pound of bread daily. this tre- mendous supply of bread would feed 21,46s, ,341, 800 people for one day: or 1t would supply city of 100000 adults for a period of nearly 60 years.
 Last year 12.00O.000 tons of coal were carried through the Detroit river by northbound boats. Had this quan- tity of coal been transported by one train, calculating 50 tons to the car (which would require the largest cars), 23s,563 cars would have been called for. and the train would have been 2,25s miles in length. And despite the tremendous growth of the last two years, 1t is generally conceded in shipping circles that the increase of 1907 will be even greater. This conclusion is reached because of the food of orders for big ships that has poured in upon shipbuilding com panies during the last few months. Only recently an order was placed by the Lackawanna Steel company. call ing for eight vessels, to be in com mission by August 1. 1907. In point of number. this order may not appear impressive, especially to the railroad man who hears of car construction in hundreds and even thousands, but in reality the results will swell the fig ures of next season. Five of the ves- sels are to be of 7.500 tons carrying capacity each, and the other three of 5000 tons each. In other words. this fleet will earry an aggregate of e4, 500 tons of freight trip. tonnage that would require the use of more than 1900 ordinary cars. or more than 50 trains. And yet this order for eight ships. perhaps the largest ever given, Is only one of scores of orders during the year. And the question which Is facing lake vesselmen is: Will the soo be able to give passage to all these new vesseIsg and if not, the inevitable must follow. There must be . larger soo.

A hundred years ago there were professional beautifers. and though their methods were not quite SO rational as those of today. they wers not without merit, and some of the samples distilled in those days are stiil the main dependence of the beauty specialist The women were rot the only patrons of the beauty shop of the past.

Innovation of Wedding Gowns.

At a recent English wedding the brides gown was of dotted silk net with a richly embroidered satin train, and the six bridesmaids were garbed in different shades of rose pink and forget-me-not blues. two in each shade. and all carried spray bouquets of white flowers.
 At another wedding in St. Marga- ret's, Westminster. the attendants. in empire gowns of cream-colored net over white silk. wore wreaths of pink carnations instead of hats. and car ried bouquets to match.

BLOUSE AS TT SHOULD BE.
Little Things to Remember if One
 Would Be Correct.

The blouse does not blouse so much this year There is less fitness in front, as there is in all bodice models this season.
 Many afternoon toilettes. especially when in velvet, have bodices to match the skirt. Others show the lace bodice with stray or bretelle like ar rangement over the lace and then the coat matching.
 The same careful attention to de- tail, the same perfect fit, and correct lines required in the most pretentious creation are exacted of the separate waist, to be wholly in vogue for the coming season.
 The girdle, too. is an important factor. It is generally made of a soft. pliable silk. is about three inches wide in the back and five in front.

For a house Party.

This is the season when weekend parties are enjoyed; this novel amuse- ment was provided by a clever hostess for a jolly house party which she en- tertained from Saturday to Monday. After the dinner, which was prolonged beyond the usual time allotted. the men all being SO glad to get away from the hurry of the city. they went into the large living room and the six mascu- line members of the party were given boxes containing cut calico strips and told to find the girl whose aprons matched their material: the young women had worn the aprons at dinner and greatly excited the curiosity of the other ser.
 The hostess gave each one q thim- ble, coarse thread and needle. saying that she was greatly in need of rugs and the man who first sewed his al- Iowance of rags into a neat ball should be rewarded by being made head waiter of the castle" and serve the following refreshments:
 
 One congiomerated compound circle
 One cup of communicative cordial
 One cup of Chinese cheer.
 One cup of choice churned cream
 One cider cured cucumber.

To refute the many falseu and im9li-
eious attacks, bogus formula ana other
untruthful statements published concern
ing Doctor Pierce's WOrld-famed Family
Medicines. the Doctor has decided TO pub
lish all the ingredients entering into his
7FavOrite Prescription for weak women
and his equally popular tonic Alternative
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Hereafter every bottle OF
these medicines leaving tn3e great LaDQ4
ratOry az Buffalo. n. Y, will bear upon II
a full list Of all the ingredients entering
into the compound. Both are made
entirely from native medicinal roots;
The ingredients of the oGolden Medical
Discovery" being a non-alcoholic extract
Of Golden Seal root, Queens root,
Black-cherryb Mandrake root, Blood
root and Stone root, preserved by chemi-
cally pure glycerine.
DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
being made Of native medicinal roots, Is
next TO Nature and is the best tonic you
can use. IL fills the blood with rich, red
blood corpuscles. 1t gives you feeling
Of strength, and it puts sunshine into
your system as no other remedy can.
That is why DR.. Perce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has been such a favOrte
for the past forty years. No man or
woman can be either healthy or hand
some who has impurities in the blood,
for it will show in pimples, boils, and
eruptions, in the dark circles under the
eyes and in the sallow complexion. After
taking rGolden Medical Discovery" you
are bound to have pink cheeks and a
fresh complexion. The muscles get the
good, rich, red blood that puts on
strength. 1t is flesh builder, but not a
fat builder.

So Many Varieties That, AN Tastes
dHt may Pc spit%l}l5{

AS long as the shirt waist survives,
belts must remain in fashion, and
every year the variety appears new
and unlimited. Just now general at
tention is conferred upon belts for linen
and silk suits.
In white kid there are many novel
ties, and all are more or less ornate,
at least so far as the detail work is
concerned, for the general effect is
sufficiently plain to go with tailored
suits. But the soft kid is tucked and
shirred and treated in marvellous FASH
ion, as though it were so much white
satin ribbon. Sometimes when the
pliable leather is quite wide It is
drawn through a smaller buckle, with
in which the surplus fullness is drawn
into the narrowest possible corded
tucks. Again the leather is ornament
ed with a delicately tinted floral de-
sign In silk embroidered applique. In
all these cases there are two buckles,
one front and one back. These are
usually not ornate for ordinary wear.
Chamois and undressed suede are
also used for betting in natural colors
with plain gold buckles, and in the
elastic ribbons bead trimming is also
used. Taffeta ribbon belts to match
the tie are also perennial favorites,
and are always in good taste with the
linen suit
A woman requires several belts for
summer If she wears tailored suits at
all She should have one to match
the suit, and one elaborate jeweled or
handsome silver celnture. For her
white linen suits and ginghams she
may add as many more as her fancy
and her pocketboOk dictate.
The short-waisted frock has by no
means done away with the need for a
belt or girdle. It's position is shifted
upward, but wide belts or girdles Of
satin ribbon with large buckles are
a feature of many of the modified en-
pire modes.
