Our Frenchwomen flock to the

will be seen gowns of rare design and
beauty.
A lovely black gown recently seen. de-
signed by Redfern, Is Of black vote en-
broidered with silver. Velvet is used ex-
,ensively on mousseline and tulle gowns,
ard embroidery in all the splendor OF
ancient eras gives beautiful decoration
10 these stage gowns. A Greek play mas
brought the graceful dignity OF Athens

can we'll afford to listen to the voice

styles of the coming season.

With the double blouses of chiffon and

Petunia color is a new shade for street

One Of the striking evening wraps seen

heavy white silk embroidered with col

of the wrap, while rows OF narrow
bands OF white fox were used on the

completed this lovely manteau.
Black or brown chantilly lace wells
are fashionable. White wells are no
longer worn by Partisan women who
keep in close touch with the whims of
fashion. Champagne-colored wells of
very large and usually unbecoming
meshes are displayed in the shops.
Veil-pins are worn, and those who at

CURES ECZEMA
Why SaIves Fail While a Simple Liquid
Has Accomplished Thousands
OF Cures.

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authori-
ties that eczema is purely skin
disease due to germ, and cur
able only through the skin. It is
not blood disease at all; in fact,
thousands of people suffer with
skin disease and are perfectly
healthy and otherwise, and
thereby prove they have no
diseased blood. -. -
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not pene-
trate the skin. The only way to
reach the germs in by means of a
penetrating liquid.
Such liquid can be obtained
by simply mixing ordinary oil of
wlntergreen with thymol, glycerine
and other healing agents. This
compound, known as D. D. D.
Prescription, stops the itch
instantly-and the cures all appear
to be permanent. In fact, it took
thousands of cures, case after case,
before the best scientific authori-
ties were convinced of the absolute
merit of this remedy. D. D. D.
Prescription kills the germs in the
itching skin. Its effect is seen
within one minute after the first
application. We especially recon-
mend D. D. D. Soap in connec-

Nashville, Tenn, April 2S.-Isaac S..
Morse, a young business man, was
shot and almost instantly killed by
Gertrude Douglas in the Office of the
American Dry Cleaning company. In
the excitement that followed the
shooting the young woman escaped
but was arrested an hour later in the
office of physician. At police head
quarters Miss Douglas said: like
Morse deserted me after he had been
going with me for the last nine years.
He couldn't throw me over and live.
We met in this city nine years ago."
There were no eyewitnesses to the
tragedy. Two colored porters were in
the rear of the store and saw Miss
Douglas talking to Morse for ten min
utes before the shooting They heard
the shots fired in time to catch Morse
as he pitched forward and to see his
assailant leaving the office by the
front door.
