gerle or Severely Tailored.


To show the unsettled state OF the
fashions just now, one authority an
nounces that this Is to be a season OF
the lingerie waist par excellence.
while another equal in authority says,
with the crepes and thin cottons, ex
quisite mulls and dainty foulards that
are shown In charming combination Of
plain colors lingerie gowns are to be
rather out of the running"
However, one thing seems to be as.
sured. There is to be no halfway
business. The waist must be very
lingerie" or It must be severely
tailored.
For the former, French valenciennes
handmade Irish and Cluny laces, and
fine hand embroidery are used in al
great profusion as ones time and
purse will allow.
Morning waists of the tailored va
riety are mostly OF white shirting liner
or striped madras, fastened down thu
front with pearl buttons.
Often the white ones have Cluny
lace set in down the front on each side
Of the middle plat, and in the turn
over collar and cuffs.
The colored ones are usual,
untrimmed, except for lengthwist
tucks of various widths.

who had addressed the body in its
native tongue. Spanish.
Miss Peck has had her eye on Mount
Huascaran since 1904. and a little later
tried to scale its sides with native
guides. 1t was not success.
Four years later, accompanied by
two guides Miss Peck left New York
for the Huailas valley. After arriving
in South America there was a 9O-mile
horseback ride into the interior. A
start up the mountain was made on
August 6.
Snow had to be melted to make
soup and tea. The trip was not sue
cessful, and after ~ days the party
returned. Natives in the village at the
foot of the mountain thought that the
party had perished. Arrangements
were made to send out a searching
party. The appearance of the Ameri-
can and her guides caused more ex-
citement.
The next trip was started on August
2S. There were many vicissitudes.
More native porters made progress of
the party speedier.
Miss Peck reached the summit on
September 2. and the next night, while
she was descending with her guides,
all lashed together with stout line,
the leading guide slipped and fell into
crevasse. carrying her to the very
edge There were numerous slides
and narrow escapes, but each time the
guide behind braced himself with his
alpenstock and saved her and his fel-
low countryman.

Normal school there got a degree in
the University of Michigan in 1878
For time she taught mathematics in

She climbed the Mattcrhorn In 1895
and. Popocatepetl and Orizaba two
years later. Miss Peck was the first
woman to ascend the latter. Then she
tackled Funffingerspitze in the Tyrol
in 1900. There was the climb ur
Mount Sorata in Bolivia, some 10000
feet, in 1904.
Miss Peck was the official delegate

No other medicine for woman's ills

icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely

thing that perplexes the average
housewife. who must always replace
buttons after the return of the week s

THE CRACKING OF pA.rr.
Prspsrty Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen-
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out OF ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
houseowner should know in a general
way. when a surface is in proper con-
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require. and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide. includ-
ing a book Of color schemes, specih-
cations for all kinds OF painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
terations in painting materials. with
directions for using it, can be had

memory of the Indian Chief, Corn

House yard several years ago, next

Saturday to the cement pedestal in
the center of the Court House square,
where it will remain permanently.
Capt. c. F. Hess has manufactured
and placed four cement markers on
the supposed spot where the remains
of this noted chief are resting, which
will be of much interest to those who
know the sad fate of this once friend
of the white man. Now We want

than we do to tell US something about
