THE CHARM
 OF MOT KEIRHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
 cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- 1derstands how to properly care for her. self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unftted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children and indeed child birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, asmost valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

The blouse gives cheInl,, sette effect which is exceptional and attractive, yet the dress is closed at the back in simple and child-likc style. There are great many materials that can be treated in this way with success Everything with the crepe finish IS especially well liked and here, one ol the new wool crGpes is trimmed with pialn material and with dark banding: Serge or eabardine could be made in the same way and such wool materials would be pretty with trimming of plaid or strlpcd talfcta, or, for the more dressy 1rock. plain taffeta would be pretty trimmed with plaid, for the plaid silks are very charming and eminently cillldllke. Wool poplins are good and we never have had more attractive variety or stripes and plaids that were suited to cb;Idren's dresses. The blouse is really T very simple onc 1t IS cut out at the front and arranged over a little ehenl.. sette portion to give an effect of real novelty. The skirt is perfectly straight and laid in box-plaits.
