black satin, velvet and lace. a six-inch
band of lace trimmed the short velvet skirt
and a narrow breadth Of black velvet at
tachod To a wide velvet belt by four hand
some buttons, two on each side, hung
straight down the back, falling free. The
short sleeves of a lace chemisette, cut tr

turn back in sharp revers, revealing the
whole front of the chemisette-a charming
fashion for a spring costume. The revers

There is more Catarrh in this
section Of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease and prescribed local
remedies and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catsrrh to be a consti-
tutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactur-
ed by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. g., .r.gs.f ar"
