GOWN MUST HAVE SOME COLOR.
All Black, Even with Lace or EN-
broIdery, Not Enough.

No ordinary black dress. except for
mourning purposes. is good enough
for the present fashion. no matter
what lace and embroidery may be
used thereon. Some color must be In
troduced either in the lining, which
shows through a wolfe or chiffon dress
skirt, IN the bands of the sleeves
or in the belt. Sometimes this bit OF
color IL used in ribbon bands which
extend across the corner OF the yoke
of the dress. One gown OF the kind
was made of black crepe de Chine,
the only touch of color being two
pieces Of soft taffeta ribbon, one Of
brown and the other Of palest sage
green, laid in folds and placed dag
onally across the black lace yoke.
Another black dress of chiffon cloth
was trimmed with brown chiffon,
used around the waist to form a sort
Of bolero. and again appearing at
intervals on sleeves. belt and collar.
A black cloth mourning dress was
made with mikado sleeves, split to the
shoulder and held in place by gradu'
ated bands Of narrowest. brightest
green velvet, and the same was used

Troussaau Gowns.

''Trousseau gowns are lovelier than
ever" says a fashion writer. but as
they have increased in beauty they
have lessened in number. Very few
brides OF to-day, no matter how fash
ionable they may be. order a trousseau
consisting of a great number OF cos
tunes. The reason for this Is that
fashions change so that It is necessary
every little while to have a new-style
gown II one is to keep pace with the
capricious modes.
The bridal princess gown is a style
which will be In fashion for a long
time TO come. One can wear IL as
long as the material lasts by merely
changing the sleeves to meet the re.

is the advice of an old eminent
authority who says rheumatism

and also tells what to do in case of
on attack.
Get from any good prescription
pharmacist one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce
Compound kargCn. three ounces
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla.
Mix by shaking in a bottle and
take a tedspoonful after meals and
at bed time.
Just try this simple homemade
mixture at the first sign of rheu-
matism, or if your back aches or
you feel that the kidneys are not
acting Just right. This is said to
be a splendid kidney regulator,
and almost certain remedy for all
forms of rheumatism, which is
caused by uric acid in the blood,
which the kidneys fail to filter
out. Anyone can easily prepare
this at home and at small cost.
Druggists in this town and vi

tion, stated that they can either
supply these ingredients, or. if our
readers prefer, they will compound
the mixture for them.

No Chances With Weather
This Year,

The management of the Interna-
tional Western Live Stock Expo
sition, which is to be held in Den
yer, January goth to 25th, is tax
ing no chances with the weather
this year. In previous years con-
siderable dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed by the visitors that there
was no proper place in which to
show the animals. This year, a
big pavilion, capable of seating
between 1000 aad 1900 people,
has been completed at the Union
Stock Yards. The pavilion is
covered and is heated by steam SO
no matter what the weather is,
visitors to the stock show will be
comfortable and as well protected
us they would if seated in an opera
house. The show ring in the pa
villion is large enough to permit
of fancy driving of horses, and to
exhibit the cattle, horses and sheep
to the best advantage.
