PLAID SILKS AS TRIMMINGS
Their Use In Collars, GrdIes and
Sleeves Brlghtens UP the Dark
Colored Dresses.

Dark-colored serge dresses in seal
brown, navy and black are often
frightened up by the use Of plaided
silks for the waist, or the introduction
of these bright-coiored patterns for
the collars, girdles and portion of
the sleeves. In some cases, when the
plaided waist is seen the skirt mate
rial extends into the waist section in
bib or jumper effect
Narrow pointed directoire collars
extending in sharp points over the
shoulder are also made of plaid when
the waist is developed in the dress ma.
terial. Robespierre collars, turnback
cuffs and military girdles and sashes
are also made in these fancy silks.
Silk dresses plaided off with yell
low red and green on a dark blue,
black or brown background are used
with buttons to harmonic; for in
stance, amber balls or blue buttons
with red OF green centers. They are
applied in profusion both on waists
and on skirts.

Bran should be available in self-feed

without reason.
When her system is in a do
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructiva work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread Of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
