 Gray has been distinctly favored for the bedroom walls. One stunning pattern with light gray ground shows the long stiff stalks and the leaves of the chry- santhemum in deeper gray. At the frieze each stalks blossoms out into huge pink chrysanthemum. For those who wish a quiter paper. there is the gray chambre with colonial garlands united by tiny medallions of pink roses. The English chintz design is very forid, but effective with plain hangings and scanty wall decoration.

For court functions, levees and evening state par ties, the court dress is of either black silk velvet or dark colored cloth, either mulberry, claret or green, but not black or blue. The velvet court dress con- sists of a coat of black silk velvet, with a standing collar and single breasted. The fronts are cut small and cannot be but toned. The cuffs are plain but gaunt- eted.

HAIR REMOVERS
 ARE DANGEROUS
Physicians Say; "D0n't Use Poisonous
 DepiIatories."

The extravagant claims recently made by interruptions manufacturers of hair removers in sensational adver- tisements unquestionably justify phy-- sicians in cautioning the public against the use of this class of depilatories. How many people have been enticed into using these dangerous prepara- tions, with consequent injury to them selves cannot be estimated, but only guessed at.
 The preparations above referred to are invariably in the form of creamy pastes which are to be spread upon the skin to remain until they dry. These contain Sulphide of Barium, an unsolu- ble chemical which cannot be dissolved; {; therefore cannot be absorbed by the skin. The very fact that you are told to leave these pasty compounds on the skin until they dry and cake and then lift off with knife Is proof positive that they are not absorbed. If they are. why do they still remain on the skin? The most they can possibly do is to remove the surface hair, which in consequence will reappear stronger and thicker after each removal
 There is only one logical and scientif- ic way to remove hair and that is by means of a liquid containing soluble ingredients which can be absorbed by the skin. De Miracle, known all the World over as the only real superfluous hair remover, is just such a prepara- tion. It is easily and quickly absorbed and after you have used 1t you will note there is nothing left on the skin. It 1eaWes the skin free from irritation and what is more to the point it is ab- solut<ly poisonous: therefore, 1t WI! not produce eczema or blood pois- %ling. Remember, no matter what claims are made eto the contrary, no tpoisonous, pasty compound or so-ca1led RTiuuid cure" ever did or ever will kill. single hair root, and we can prove 1t. Beware of the fake free advertisers and others who by wording their ad- vertisements. try to give the impression that newspapers and ~other reputable publications endorse their worthless preparations. Don't be deceived by them. De Miracle Is the only prepara- tion which is so endorsed
 De Miracle is sold at all good stores including Golfers Drug Go.
 No honest dealer will offer you a substitute on which he makes more profit.
 We will send you 52-page booklet containing full information concerning this remarkable treatment, as well as testimonials of prominent physicians, surgeons. dermato1ogists. medical jour nals and the principal magazines and newspapers. You should read this booklet before you try anything. Write to the De Miracle Chemical Co.,, Dept. 77. 1905 Park ave.
