Miss Alta Abel, of West Baden, Ind,
says: Il was a complete wreck, al
ways tired, wornout and nervous. I
had to spend about one-third of my

and iron tonic, was recommended, and
it has done me more good than all the
medicine ever took in my life. That

strength, until feel like another per-
son."
Vinol is the most efficient strength
creator for such women. 1t is the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
contained in Vinol, aided by the blood
making and strengthening properties
of tonic iron, which makes it so far
superior to all other tonics to build
up health and strength for weak,
tired, ailing women. It contains no
oil and has a delicious taste.
We give back your money if vinol

that she is a woman Of moderate

Mrs. Boyle is a very estimable lady
and no doubt you will both profit by

to hear Of the result. 1 can assure you |
that no use will be made Of your let |

Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter. which is my
reason for doing so. and you will be

YELLOW MALINEs IN ORDER
Material Extremely Popular Just Now
and Bids Fair to Remain in
Fashion Some Time.

The yellow malines girl promises TO
be a feature of the world OF fashion
for the next month at least. Fashion
is so fleeing that longer period of
popularity can scarcely be promised
her. But surely this much Is certain,
that the tint of yellow between ecru
and corn color, brighter than the first
and lighter than the second, is IN
vogue, and is denoted on costumes by
maline net accessories.
For the girls hat 1t is used in
ruches and folds. For her neck 1t
spreads butterfly wings in bows and
floats over her shoulders in a light
scarf for the evening.
This tint is used with white I'd
such an extent as to lead to the coin
ing of the phrase, 'the summer daisy
girl The tart little bow Of stiff
malines, yellow Of course, twisted
about the handle of her parasol with
three or four large white artificial
daisies, helps to make her in keeping
with this name.
A word more is in order about the
scarves of this flimsy, slimsy mate
rial They are made Of the widest
goods in the tint to be had, and are
cut very long, full two yards and
half, sometimes three yards. The ends
are cut straight and left unhemmed,
and the scarf is worn over the
shoulders or within the cloak in as
fluffy mass as possible, not crushed
down. The result is rather ethereal,
wrapped.in-the-clouds effect
Flesh tints are also popular for
these scarves, and some other shades
are used as we'll. The dampness OF
sea nights is fatal to their loneliness,
but for those elsewhere they are
wearable and charming.
