NEW IDEAS IN EMRRoIDERIEs.
Silver, Gold and Black Threads Used
for Establishment.

Lovely embroideries are carried out
IN floss silk, alone or combined with
silver, gold or black threads or with
bugles and beads, or both velvet and
mousseline.
The embroidery is seen on the most
luxuriant of the evening wraps and
gowns and exquisite silver, gold and

tant frocks.
Gold and old silver tissue and net are
employed as the foundation for both
mousseline and beautiful overdresses

displayed in the shops.
Heavily sequined black evening
gowns are again very fashionable, also
those of net and lace, relieved with
application of velvet and chenille,
either in self tones or in contrasting
colors with the design outlined in Jet.
Embroidered Irish, chantilly and
point de Venise lace are also success
fully introduced on many of the black
evening gowns.

Velvet embossed ribbons in wide
widths are the best possible choice for
rearranging damaged gown, and
give the speediest results, leaving no

that could not be said of the old-fash
icned way Of wearing the veil. 1t is
queenly from the direct front, it is eff
fective from the back and when seen
in profile it imparts distinct charm
to the white robed figure of the bride,
There is this important point for the
prospective bride to bear in mind
when she is deciding upon her bridal
costume. She will be looked at from
an entirely different point of view
than when she dresses for an ordinary
social function. Her part in the wed
ding picture will be one viewed in
perspective, and her costume should
be arranged accordingly A few inches
added to her height will be all the bet
ter, and the lines of her gown should
be the long, dignified ones which
characterized courtly danes of oldeD

COLLARS OF sHIRRED CHIFFON
Velvet Foundations for Trimmings Of
Various Designs.

The finest collars are mounted on
featherbone frames Some are Of
shirred chiffon, with lace insertion
placed around or in vertical lines
down the stock All of these collars
are beautifully trimmed with lace and
ribbon jabots. Some of the chiffon
collars are finished on the edges with
4 wiry like braid which can be twisted
into miniature ruffies to give the fluffy
effect.
Velvet foundations support lovely
trimmings Of oriental braid in colors
and tinsel effect, though the jabot por-
ton will be found of something sheer
and mingled with heavier fabrics.
Many fine white satin collars are inn

work of foreign peasants. The en-

NEW WEDDING VEIL
LATEST FASHION CHANGE IN
BRIDAL COSTUME.
"coronet" Idea Has Proved Very
Popular-Arrangement That Adds
Height to the Wearer-6etter
Than Old Style.

One of the latest fashion changes Is
seen in the arrangement of the we'd
ding veil to make 1t a distinctly be-
coming feature of the bridal costume.
Heretofore wells have been worn in
rather set style simply because it
was the way they had been adjusted
for years. But the new coronet veil
is proving a great success with almost
every type of bride. The idea of the
arrangement is to give height to the
wearer. The soft outstanding putfs Of
tulle add two or three inches to the
brides stature, and they also impart
an added amount of dignity to her
orange-crowned head.
Tulle is used for these wells as it is
much softer than lace and much more
becoming than heavier meshes, unless
the lace happens to be ivory tinted
with age. Besides, tulle is far more
easily draped than heavy lace. First
the veil is put on over the head in the
usual way, then the front ends are
caught in series of outstanding puffs
that encircle the front of the head,
These are confined to the hair by
small wreath of orange blossoms worn
like a coronet. The traditional flow
ers do not dominate the head dress
but form a delicate finish as they lie
half shrouded in puffs of tulle.
The coronet veil arrangement is be-
coming from all points of view, thing

SAVE THIS ANY WAY.

Here is a simple homemade mix
ture as given by an eminent authority
on Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement in New York daily news
paper, that it will relieve almost any
case Of Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Brights disease. He
states that such symptoms are lame
back. pain in the side, frequent desire
to ulinate, especially at night; painful
and discolored urination, are readily
overcome. Here is the receipt, try it:
Fluid Extract DandeIion, one half
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces; Compound Kargon, one
ounce. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A we'll known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed al home
by shaking well in bottle. This
mixture has peculiar healing and
soothing effect upon the entire Kidney
and Urinary structure, and often over
comes the worst forms Of Rheumatism
in Just little while. Thir mixture is
said to remove all blood disorders and
cure the Rheumatism by forcing the
Kidneys to filter and strain from the
blood and system all uric and foul de.
composed waste matter which cause
these affections. Try it if you aren't
well. Save this prescription.
