on the other with cord ornaments OF
decorated buttOnholes. IS q feature Of
both skirts and nantes. This idea is
used On a handsome but perfectly sim
pie evening wrap OF violet velvet, lined
with pale mauve satin. The garment is
circular and cat without sleeves, but
I here is an opening fro mthe top Of the
shoulder to the bottom, through which
the arm may pass. On each side OF this
are loops Of purple and silver cord and
large velvet embroidered buttons. The
garment IS closed here except for a
sufficient space to allow the arm and
hand to come out. Running from the
shoulders a trimming OF cord decorates
the neck OF the wrap, but there is no
other trimming. The beauty OF the gar
ment lies 81 its form and the material
used.

Fancy Guinlpes

In making the fancy guimpes so much
worn by both adults and children, the
material should first be tucked. or
spaces left for the lace insertion, If any
be desired. before cutting out.
TIE lace can then be basted on either
edge-iat on the tucked materiaI-and
the Fabric cut away from underneath.
Leave about a quarter OF an inch on
each side OF the lace. Turn this back on
the material and stitch on the edge Of
the lEce.
Finish with feather stitching done
with crochet or mercertzed cotton, az
preferred.
This makes a very pretty finish, and
enables the garment TO bear repeated
launderings without the material fray
ing away from the lace. as Il Is apt TO
do in the case Of most ready-made gar

OF this day of interesting things is
the great success being achieved by
Iosteopathy.
There is hardly a day that some
cure which Is deserving of attracting

osteopathy merely aids nature to
cure.
1t is a system Of healing built up
on demonstrable facts.
1t discovers the cause of disease,
and treats It by scientific manipula-
lions in order to correct disorders
and bring about a natural condition.
Nearly all diseases yield to the
treatment and the diseases local to
Paducah do so most readily.
In rheumatism, liver and bowel,
or stomach troubles, chronic head

been very marked.
