These costumes are made of voile
or similarly lightweight srring-like
material and trimmed with cloth Of,
the same color. The coats, which are
part of the costume, are made of the
cloth which trims the gown. The ar
rangement is not only very smart, but
very sensible as we'll because a cloth
coat worn with so thin a gown Is
more suitable weight for spring than
a three-piece cloth costume, which Is
generally much too warm, or a three
piece voile costume, which may on oc'
casion lack the necessary weigh.
These coats or jackets to be worn
with afternoon costumes are sleeve
less, and the elaborate sleeve of the
waist, which usually is composed
largely, if not entirely, of lace and en-
broidery, is thus saved from being
crushed. There is a remnant of the
kimono sleeve suggestion in the
straight line from the neck of the
coat to the armhole, and the armhole
is finished with q shallow cap, which
is quite full, so that it does not crush
the undersleeves and gives graceful
finish to the under garment.
These Jackets do not close In front.
They do not nearly come together, so
that the front of the bodice is dis
played, giving the effect of a waistcoat.
The most effective trimming consists
of bands of embroidery or braid put
on in an elaborate design, confined
within straight band. Many of the
quaint old designs in braiding are
now used for this purpose.
Chinese, Japanese and Italian en-
! broideries, in colors as we'll as those
done in the same shade as the coat,
are popular.
The coats are made of silk as we'll
as cloth to match with gowns which
are trimmed with silk. There are also
silk frocks trimmed with cloth which
have cloth jackets.

THE DOCTORS GIFT.
Food Worth Its Weight in Gold.

We usually expect the doctor to put
us on some kind of penance and give
us bitter medicines.

acute indigestion and biliousness, be-
ing allowed to eat very few things.
One day our family doctor brought me
a small package, saying he had found
something for me to eat, at last.
HE said it was food called Grape
Nuts, and even as its golden color
might suggest, 1t was worth its weight
in gold. l was sick and tired. trying
one thing after another to no avail,
but at last consented to try this new
food.
"Well! it surpassed my doctors
fondest anticipation and every day
since then l have blessed the good
doctor and the inventor of Grape
Nuts.

indigestion had disappeared. In two

FREsHENINe UP CLOTH SUITS.
Damage Done by Rough Weather Not
Hard to Put Right.

About this season the sunshine and
the lengthening days disclose the dam
age done ones street clothes by win
ter's storms. Until tried, one fails to
realize what an amount of freshening
up little strapping with well-select-
ed braid will do on a cloth suit, espe-
cially on those with plated skirts
where the plat edges are looking a
wee bit shabby, and the coat seams
correspond A braid of half-inch width
means but half the labor of soutache,
for two rows of the latter must be
sewed on for any good result or to
properly conceal the threadbare look
at seams. If the skirt is in wide
enough plaits, say, for instance, from
three to five inches at ending little
above knee, the half-inch braid can be
chosen. This must he put almost at
the extreme edge and sewed on both
sides to look like the work of tailor.
Just above where the stitching stops
and the plat stops turn the braid
sharply toward the back of the plait
and end it in a neatly-shaped point at
two-thirds the width of the plait. If
the plaits are narrow, use two rows
of soutache very close together, and
get the very narroy, fine kind the
tailofs put on their gowns. These can
be combined in a button effect and
placed where the braid ends, for other
wise the soutache would look too
skinny if taken across the plat.

AGAIN THE SAMPLER STITCH.
Patterns of Long Ago Favorites for
Modern Fancy Work.

The dear, queer old sampler stitch
is "in" again for fancy work. If you
have one of these monuments to
ruined eye-sight tucked away in the
storeroom, do get 1t out as a model.
Pillows, cushions and little holders
are worked in the old-fashioned trees
and triangles over which our grand
mothers pricked their fingers and
worked so assiduously in the days
when the world was much younger
than now Far more taste is, however,
shown, as rule, in the choice of
colors, and the rainbow tints are neat
Iy blended in very artistic patterns.
There is something wonderfully fas.
cinating in taking up the old styles
over which these dear souls found so
much interest. There is little wonder
that the granddaughters and great
granddaughters take SO much interest
in what was just as fascinating, per
laps, to those who made the original
sampler patterns.

WHlskeY For RHEUMATISM.

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is very effective: "To
one half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Root compound and one
ounce of Syrup of Sarsaparilla COM
pound. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retiring"
ToVjs Root Compound is a product of
the laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Dayton, o.
A prominent druggist states he fills
this prescription often and has seen
its good results. 1t is surely worth
trying by anyone who may be cfflicted.

BIsBEE FIRE-sWEPT AGAIN
Arizona Town Burned For Second
Time in Two Years.
loss in Property is Estimated at ST.
O,OOO--Fifty Acres of Houses
Destroyed-Dynamite Used.

Ell Paso, Texas. For the second
time in two years the town of Bisbee,
Ariz., has been swept by fire. The
loss is estimated at $1,000,00O Fifty
acres of the town were swept clean.
The fire started at the Grand Hotel
and spread rapidly. The Angelus
Hotel was dynamited in an effort to
stay the flames, but a strong breeze
was blowing up the Canon and the
fire was rapidly carried forward. The
Opera House, the Women's Toggery,
the big Fair Store and many other big
business houses were burned.
Bisbee is built at the junction of
Tombstone and Brewery gulches and
the houses extend up the sides of the
mountains surrounding. Owing to
the floods this summer many water
pipes were broken, the firemen were
powerless and the fire had to be
fought with dynamite.
Scores of volunteers were overcome
fighting the flames and many women
and children had narrow escapes. 1t
is believed that number of persons
lost their lives in the work of dyna-
hitting, as many are unaccounted for.
Coming when the Bisbee copper
mines had been operating half time
for many months and when the city
was staggering under a heavy finan-
cial load as a result of the flood dam
age and the fire of less than two
years ago, this fire may result in the
city abandonment for new site on
the plains near by
