LATE STYLES IN UNDERWEAR.
New Ideas Are Evolved from imported

Some of the most striking, as well

brought out for the summer trade by
domestic manufacturers. Each season
designers from the largest American
plants visit the markets abroad to
look over the new ideas and fashions,
after which it generally happens that
these are taken up and improved
upon. The single piece garment, made
OF nainsook and comprising drawers
and corset cover, has been evolved
from foreign fashions, but changed
somewhat to meet the American idea.
These are serviceable, comfortable,
and do away with extra skirt and
bulk around the waist, besides being
cooler for summer wear. American.
made silk underwear is also meeting
with more favor, and some OF the
latest novelties now shown in the
market are meeting with such success
that manufacturers find 1t difficult to
take care of the orders. In mems gar.
ments sleeveless shirts and short
drawers are now being turned out in
either all silk or mercerized fabrics.
These suits are not expensive, as they
can be purchased at prices ranging
from two dollars per suit up. Light
colors are coming into fashion, and

range through shades of>blues, pinks.
grays and light tans. Manufacturers
of sweaters are looking forward to
what they believe will be the largest

women will now find no trouble in
getting garments that fit and look
attractive when worn.

experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed OF
some of the most efiicacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
OF the human system as require tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase OF catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis.
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc.
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature Of
the disease. Tho only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure

inspection of the critics.

GOOD MANNERS AT HOME.
Formally Unnecessary, But Gentle
Courtesy Should Rule.

"Politeness in the home is like the
straw used in packing china; it saves
brealage and prevents crashes, y
writes Lillian Bell.
II everybody would take this to
heart there would be many happier
homes than there are now. 1t is an
absurd excuse TO make that one must
be ones self before home folk.
One needs good manners just
among those people more than among
outsiders. The man who treats his
wife as though she was a comfortable
piece of furniture is not satisfactory
to any women. 1t is not possible for
her 20 keep from drawing comparisons
With the way he treats other women
when they are at the house.
A woman who hasn't the first idea
of manners when her husband IS
around, should not be astonished
when he prefers another woman who
is always well bred and gracious in
his presence.
Formalties are unnecessary and
foolish. Conventional politeness is
not wanted. II would stiifen the at
mosphere and take away from the
home likeness.
But there are all sorts of gentle lit.
tie courtesies that should be shown
by every one to everybody in the
home, and they certainly do prevent
a great deal of crash and breakage.
