ECHOES FROM JAMESTOWN.
jamestown Happenings Always Inter

After reading of so many people in
our town who have been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, the question
naturally arises: us this medicine
equally successful in our neighboring
towns?" The generous statement OF
this jamestown resident leaves no
room Ger doubt OF this point.
C. M. Foster, SO N. Fourth St., Jam

time I was troubled by kidney com.
plant and was unable to find relief
until used Doan's Kidney Pills. Too
frequent passages Of the kidney Sc
cretions greatly annoyed me and
there was q dull, throbbing pain thru
my back. Doanis kidney Pills went
directly to the seat Of my trouble and

G. "A. sollin. GIT Elizabeth st. Val

have trouble from my kidneys about
five years ago, the drst symptom be-
ing sharp twings in my loins. The
kidney secretions became irregular IN

FOR GOOD FORM IN DRESS
Something In Which q Woman Must
Be Her Own Judge In Most
Particulars.

1t is hardly possible to put the whole
matter OF good form In dress into q
series OF stated rules. for It frequently
happens that over-dress is a. much an
error Of judgment as dress Of too in.
formal character. Therefore. the sense
OF exact proportion. perfect fitness for
the time. place and occasion 10 the i'm.
portant element Of good taste In dress.
There are instances In the life Of ev.
cry man and woman. I venture to say.
when the question Of Just what to
wear was Q more or less perplexing
one. The exact hour: the object; the
character Of the entertainment; tho
manner Of life and ideas of ones host
or hostess: the locality-all these en-.
ter into the matter Of dress-and
while In the great majority OF cases
there can be no doubt whatever. In
others the question must be decided
entirely by circumstances and com.
mon sense. But II should always be
remembered In cases where there Is
the least doubt that full dress Is the
safe rule for an evening affair.-New
York Press.

TOILET BASKETS ODD DESIGN
6oatShaped. and May Be Just a. EIab.
orately Trimmed as the Owner
May Desire.

One OF the prettiest Of the novelties
IN the smaller-sized toilet baskets is a
boat-shaped affair with an exceedingly
high and boldly curved handle. This
basket may be Of the cheapest Of
coarsely woven withes. since on the
outer side it Is draped with fine
French dimity. shirred at both edges
to form close folds which give a puffy
effect that is exceptionally charming.
AT the top and bottom edges of the
basket four frillings Of imitation Va.
lenciennes or Of narrow footing make
dainty finish and similar frillings
edge the top and bottom Of the inner
side. which is lined with plain dimity
and fitted with frill-finished pincush.
ion. soap pocket lined with oil silk and
compartments for brushes and cold
cream boxes. st. Gall Swiss or muslin
embroidery may be substituted instead
OF the dimity as a material for cover
ing and finishing for the basket and
some people like the handle best when
Wound round and round with pink or
blue satin ribbon. but the more prac.
teal fashion is to trim band Of dim.
ity. Swiss or embroidered muslin with
frillings of lace or foOtings as this can
be merely basted over the withes and
easily removed whenever 1t is neces-
sary to have it Numbered.

New Trimming.

A new trimming note on dresses OF
velvet Is rows of tiny white buttons.
These little "pearlies" are simply sewn
on the velvet in lines from bodice 10
hem. but they are much too striking
TO become popular Panels OF white
ratine are being used with good re
suits on costumes of velvet The
skirts are slashed up TO the revers,
or collars to match. finish the waist
almost over these panels, and wide
coats. The panels. of course. are
quite narrow. some having series oil
braided tabs and buttons to hold the
velvet In position.

Mr.. and Mrs. 0'Donald

One of the prcttiest affairs OF the
season occurred last evening when
Mr.. and Mrs. John O'Donald enter
tanned a, cards in honor of Miss Mary
Reynolds. who is the guest of her

beautifully gOwncd in yellow wolfe.
cmbellished with hand embroidery;
Miss Reynolds looked charming in a
handsome gown OF embroidered mar
cuisette over blue satin, and Mrs.
Woods was lovely in hand-embroid-
cred white wolfe over silk.
The house was most attractiyely
decorated with blooming plants, an
e pecial original touch being the use
Of Florida moss as an overhanging
drapcry 10 the lace curtains and por-
tiers.
Mrs. T l. Woods, presided at the
,,unch bowl with such charm that
one instinctively recalled the couplet
from "Maude Muller" "a sweeter
draugh; from a fairer hand. etc. "
Many beautiful gowns were in evil
Cence despite the Indictment weather,
and the yellowed light which suffused
the rooms lent touch of magic TO
the scene.
At the close Of the games delicious
ice cream and cake were served
This, too, was in perfect harmony
with the color scheme of yellow and
white. upon which the decorations OF
the evening We're built.

The Meter Proposition.

The meter proposition of the
Shreveport Waterworks Company
as suggested to the City Council, is
intended to abrogate the flat rate
with which number of citizens are
well pleased. There could be no OBJ
lection to the meter system if 1t
We're left optional with the user of
water. If the Council were to deter
mine on meter system, when users
of water have the flat rate, such
action would be unfair if not arbi-
trary.
1t is claimed that the water meter
is suggested in the interests of the
consumers, which may be accepted
with some degree of reservation,
since the millennium is not visible
or near at hand.

Bryan's Declaration Against Tam
mauy

Tamany is never moved by dem
onstration in a Democratic National
Convention, no matter how exciting
it may be. The Tammany delegates
are never interested by demonstra-
tions, so they remain in their seats
enyeloped in a sudden and sinister
silence, because they are there for
the purpose of making deals and
trades for their own benefit and at
the expense of the Democracy
New Orleans States.
Tammany is in politics for what
there is in it, and it is not surpris-
ing that Bryan has declared that he
will vote for no candidate who re-
ceives the support of the New York
delegation, but Bryan will support
the nominee of the convention.
