Green jewels, and silver embroid-
cred lace about the shoulders and
arms, are the decorations for a gown
of green satin messaline.
All kinds of net, coarse and fine,
are employed to make corsages and
to trim them, but it is the tulle filet
that is the most fashionable.
Instead of silver toilette articles
many women are selecting ivory or
imitation ones on account of the ease
with which the latter can be kept
clean.
The light or faille silk is being
made up into evening gowns. These
are all silk, but the heavy ribbed
weaves have their filling of wool or
cotton.
The long corsets, to wear under the
seasons gowns, are not so barbaric
as they look at first. The bones and
steels are clipped off not far below
the waistline.
Velvet, for awhile set aside by
corded silk, now seems to have re-
turned to it's rightful place in head
gear, and is more seen in facings and
crowns than silk.
Instead of running the initials to-
gether in monogram, the latest idea
in marking ones note paper is to use
the three initials in Old English, each
separated and followed by a period.
The skirts are in many cases pleat-
ed, differing very little from those
worn last year, and the coats are long
averaging three-quarter length
the fronts cut away to display vest,
but straight up and down.

DO STRAWBERRIE
GIVE YOU FEVER?
IF So Ycu Need Not Worry, Be.
cause the Medical Men Say the
Maiady lsn'G Fatal.

Strawberry poisoning has tenn
porarily disabled several citizens of
New York and hereabout, for as the
season for the luscious berries comes
to a close cumulative effects Of their
use are being observed.
There are some persons, although
very few, who get cold snivers when
approaching a strawberry festival and
Zee from the face of danger. There
are others equally susceptible who
will consume strawberries wild Or
domestic to capacity and then be af-
ficted by urticaria until they can not
see straight.
1t might be considered by some
small boys as worth the trouble of
being strawberry poisoned just for
the fun of surrounding the delightful
fruit, but the effects are not pleasant.
The skin is covered by rash, the
temperature rises to fever heat and
the patient is uncomfortable for days.
II the afflicted one has equity o. rheu-
matte tendencies, he is racked by
twinges in the joints of the arms and
legs.
Physicians and experts in dietetics
differ in accounting for the pains.
The strawberry contains one per cent.
of free acid, which, by increasing the
acidity of the blood, is supposed to
produce the discomfort
On the other hand, so eminent an
authority as the London Lancet has
declared that this action seems hard
ly probable, for the reason that
strawberries also contain various
chemical salts which should soot.le
persons OF rheumatic tendencies.
Covering the eruption with baking
soda is recommended, and the pa
tient, if he can bring himself to such
self-denial, is advised to stop eating
strawberries.
strawberry poisoring,' said Dr.
w. H. GuilfOy, Registrar of the Board
of Health, does not result fatally.
1t is due TO a personal idiOsyncrasy.
Certain persons. although there are
very few OF them, take a kind of
fever from eating the berries. The
usual explanation is that the un-
pleasant effect is due to the increase
in the acidity Of the blood. New

WASHING LACE.

The old-fashioned way of washing
lace on a bottle still meets with ia
vor. The bottle is covered with
clean, white flannel, and the lace
tackled evenly around it. 1t is then
filled with hot water and placed in
basin of warm lather, where the lace
is gently washed by hand. A more
modern way Of using the bottle is to
take a wide necked one, and fill it
three parts full of lukewarm rain
water, with enough soap jelly dis
solved in it to make a lather. In this
the soiled lace is put. The bottle is
corked or covered at the mouth with
a cloth, and churned vigorously till
the lace is clean; the result will be
obtained more quickly if it has been
STEPPED in cold water for several
days. The lace may then be poured
out of the bottle and we'll rinsed, to
get rid of the soap. Even chiffon
can be satisfactorily washed in this
way. To stiffen lace pass it through
cold water to which gum water has
been added. Half teaspoonful to
pint will be enough for fine lace; for
chiffon, make it about eight times as
strong. Domestic Science Cook

SILK GARMENTS SPLIT.

Many complaints are heard over
the counter to the effect that silk gar
ments, some of which have been worn
very little, seem to split. The very
worst thing for silk is heat, and Oft
times a wardrobe is built where a
chimney runs right back of it or a
radiator is too near, so the silk crum-
bles. Many wholesalers have holes
drilled in the walls for ventilation in
winter, if their silks are near any ex-
cessive heat, and manufacturers that
have a heavy stock in summer always
place it in cold storage. Cereain COL
ors are more perishable than others,
but it is we'll to take precaution for
the protection of all.-Trenton True

Bryan'S Speciality,

William Jennings Bryan has a
habit, when speaking, of addressing
his arguments to some one man in
his audience. In this way, he claims,
he can concentrate his thoughts
much better. Of course, he does it
IN a manner indirect enough not TO
be embarrassing to the victim. Once
during one of his campa' gns he ad-
dressed himself most particularly TO
an old farmer, who, he observed, fol-
lowed all he said with marked atten-
ton. Bryan was much pleased. At
ter the speech was over the candidate
sought out that old farmer.
"What was it that struck you most
particularly about my speaking?'
he asked.
"Wal," began the farmer, and
paused, seemingly embarrassed. But
Bryan urged him to explain, so at
last he cleared his throat and re-
marked:

er l ever heard whose whole set OF

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered
from coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak, and irritable.
My wife and | both loved coffee and
thought it was a braceT." (delusiol)
Finally, after years of suffering,
we read of Postum and the harmful
ness of coffee, and believing that to
grow we should give some attention
to new ideas, we decided to test Pos
tum.
when we made it right we liked
it and were relieved Of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, sturdier nerves,
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued
to drink and enjoy Postum, and we
lost the desire for coffee.
Many of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg, until it was dark and rich they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's

MISS AND MRS.

A number of unmarried English
women, who have reached an age
about which it would be ungererous
to inquire too closely, have been COM
planning in the papers OF the rule
that all married women shall be
called Mrs" and all unmarried
women Miss" no matter what their
ages may be. They point out the
fact that a boy, who is Master" il
his early life, becomes Mr." by the
mere lapse OF time, whether he mar
ries or not; but that a girl, who be-
gins as Miss" continues to be Miss"
until she marries. This was not al
ways the case, as the curious may
discover by looking up the history
of Miss" Mrs" and Mistress. :"
The Englishwomen maintain that the
title by which they are called, as
spinsters, is not conducive to the
Difference which is accorded to mar
ried women, and which they demand
for themselves. The remedy they
propose-that all women be called
Mrs" after reaching the age Of forty
would be of doubtful efficacy. Men
would go on calling their women ac-
ouaintances Miss" until they re-
ceived what the newspapers call of
fetal" notice that the age limit was
passed. The old "darky" woman
stated fact of general application

son is an old maid when she has quit
