Fashion'S Fanc!es


A soft cerise satin sash is often a
smart touch.
The latest Paris blouses are button
ed at the back.
Fluffy white net is used for girlish.
evening gowns.
Black and white chantilly laces are
strong in favor.
The sleeves of the newest blouses
are set with beading.
The narrow ruching is another fin
ishing note of the season.
Many of tho smartest afternoon
frocks have girdles and sashes of vel
vet and satin.
Belts of patent leather, soft moroc-
co and suede are all modish. They
are rather narrow.
Another smart combination of silk
and lingerie is found in the short tunic
style, where the tunic is of t~affeta,
richly embroidered or lace trimmed.
With all light suits, white topped
and taupe topped shoes are the more
fashionable. They are worn together
with bright colored silk stockings.

Baby's Afghan.

A pretty summer afghan for the
baby's carriage is made of strips of
handkerchief linen held together with
inch and a half wide cluny lace, which
also edges the cover, says the Phila-

pink or blue silk, and ornamented on
the outside with a large satin bow.
This makes a dainty protection, and

Patttico5t Pocket

A novelty of the season which will
be received by many women with
gratitude is the petticoat with peck
cts, which has been made in a really
practical manner, with two ample
pockets, n on either side, for the
accommodation of treasures too pre-
cious to trust to the handbag, says the
New York Herald. Especially will
this be useful now that the season of
travelling from place to place is about
to set in. The petticoat is made of
satin and the pockets are equipped
with flaps SO that they will be entirely
safe.

VOGUE in Outer Garments

According to the Dry Goods Econo-

featuring wraps of charmeuse and
satin. The best sellers are the me-
dium-priced numbers retailing from $40
to $50. These are usually attractively
lined in some bright color, giving a
pleasing contrast Lace collars and
cuffs are often used as a finishing
touch and T very effective, while
white lace is used largely for this pur-

Some ancient mariners were sitting
in a seaport tavern relating their ex-
periences Of fogs.
"Ah!" said one old salt. "1've seen
some pretty thick fogs in my time.
Why, off the coast of Newfoundland the
fog was sometimes so thick that we
used to sit on the. deck rail and lean
against it! W. were sitting one night
as usual, with our backs to the fog,
when. suddenly the fog lifted, and we
all went flop into the sea. A bit thick.

Hint for EmbroIderv

When you are em~broidering with
silk floss or handling silk of any kind
you will find it difficult to stop it from

your fingers with vinegar. This will

that you can work much faster and

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY,

This is the age of research and experiment, when 81
nature, so to speak, Is ransacked by the scientific for
the comfort and happiness OF man. Science has IN
deed made giant strides during the past century, and
among the-by no means least important-diS
coverieS In medicine comes that Of Therapion. which
has. we understand. been used with great success in
the French Hospitals and that 1t is worthy the atten-
ton of those who suffer from kidney, bladder or
nervous diseases, chronic weaknesses, ulcers, skin
~eruptions, piles, &c, we think there is no doubt. In
fact it seems evident from the big stir created
amongst specialists. that THERAPloh is destined
to cast into oblivion all those questionable remedies
that were formerly the sole reliance of medical men.
II Is of course impossible TO tell sufferers all we should
like to tell them in this short article, but those who
are interested and would like TO know more about this
remedy that has effected so many-we might almost
say-miraculous cures, have only TO send addressed
envelope for FREE book to Or. lie Clerc Med. Cor
Haverstock Road, Hampstead, London. Eng. and decide
for themselves whether The New French Remedy,
"THERAPION," is what they require and which
they may have been seeking in vain during a life Of
untold misery, suffering, Ill health and unhappinesG
