To Look "7aintab,e."

When woman wants to look
''paintable," which is the artists word
for picturesque, she wears black vel
vet. No texture holds such charm of
color in its weave as velvet. 1t drapes
into exquisite folds, softens every line
of the body and enhances every con-
tour of the face. A beautiful com
plexion finds its most effective foil in
velvet. Black is the most popular
choice of the picturesque velvet gowns
which are seen on the most stunning
ly dressed women. Next in favor
comes brown with running to seal
and occasionally golden or tobacco
brown. With brown shade of velvet.
kolinsky trimmings are very much
used. The golden brown tones of this
fur merge beautifully into the shadows
of the velvet.

|move the bottle and rinse in several
clear cold waters. Take off the mus
lin and let the lace dry on the bottle.
IL little stiffness in the lace is de-
sirable, dip it in skinned milk. Then
fold the lace in a damp cloth until
ready to pin out.
Lace may be pinned out on an iron
ing board or on wooden drum which
is first covered with cotton wadding
and over that with white muslin. Pin
the lace along its straight edge, set
ting the pins close together and at
equal distances apart. Then pin out
each picot separately. If the lace
dries before it is all pinned down,
dampen it slightly. Use non-rustable
pins, choosing fine ones for tiny picots
and larger ones for heavier laces.
When lace is old or fragile, or very
much soiled. it should be soaked for
several hours in pure olive oil before
washing.

Simple Methods of Cleaning Laces.
Styles for spring, in blouses and
sheer frocks, show a return to hand
sewing and to hand made laces-
known as 'sreal' lace-and thus distin-
guished from machine made laces.
Some machine made laces do not suf-
fer by comparison with the hand made
article and both varieties are worth
caring for. Ordinary laundering is
out of the question for them; they
must be handled carefully. Now that
the touch of real lace is a mark of
style and of distinction in dress for
spring, valuable heirlooms will either
have to be sent to the cleaner or
cleaned ut home, in order to reappear
In milady's outfit for the new season.
Lace should be soaked before it is
washed. Prepare the water for this
soaking by adding teaspoonful or
borax to every two cupfuls of boiling
water used. When the soiled lace has
soaked a few hours or overnight in
this water it will wash easily.
Make lather of hot water and any
good soap. Take the lace from the
water in which it has been soaked and
place it in the soapy water, squeezing
It, as If 1t were a sponge, until 1t is
clean. If the water becomes very dir
ty prepare fresh supply and squeeze
the lace in it. Then rinse in clean
cold water until all the soap is re-
moved. If after this process the lace
still has a grimy look it may be boiled.
To boil lace put it in jar and cover
1t with cold water and pour into this
water a little melted white soap. Stand
the jar in saucepan with water
enough to half cover the jar, put the
lid on the pan and boil for two hours.
Lingerie laces may be ironed by
pressing them under a thin clean mus
lin and finally pulling them out with
the fingers. They must be thoroughly
dried by ironing or they will roughen
up afterward. Ironing will serve for
the heavier and sturdier laces but
some fine and fragile varieties are
washed and dried by the following
process:
Wind the soiled lace round a good
sized bottle, and then cover the bottle
with thin muslin, lacking 1t on. FIJI
a kettle with cold water, shaving into
It q good-sized piece of white soap
and place the bottle in the kettle. Boil
for an hour. Pour Off the soiled water
and add fresh, repeating the process
until the water remains clear. Re

The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. w. BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground In. one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get a flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
Drug, or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation. No
scientist. living or dead, can explain these
mysteries Of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each, seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every.
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache, weakening drains, bearing down
pains, periodical irregularities, pelvic in
fammations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages of life. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made Of
Iadys slipper root, black cohosh root, uni
corn, root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in DR.. Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription they are getting a
safe woman's tonic SO good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
cofic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious, and SO he has
always kept them out Of his remedies.
Send 10c to d.. Pierce's Inyalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, for trial pkg of tablets.

The earliest arrivals in suits and
cOat-dresses are, like the first robins,
appearing in scattered groups and
glimpses, but are harbingers of charm
ing fiocks soon to follow. They are
rather tentative as to line and silhou-
cite, their motto apparently being
''When in doubt choose straight lines"
Therefore there are more stralght-line
models than anything else. Designers
may have been waiting for a last word
from Paris before launching their ear
tfest creations; if so that last word
was the long-wafsted blouse; Paris
ian fancy that results in an oblftera-
ton of curves. Along with it came
heightened TUNES, straight around the
bottom, and a variety of interesting
sleeves having generous and extraor-
binary cuffs. and mostly cut in the
fashion shown in the sleeve Of the
suit illustrated above.
The straight-line suit is safe choice
because women do not confine them
selves to one or two styles or to one
or two silhouettes any more. The
straight-line dress is always smart.
One can wear it with confidence and
assurance, as is the case with Russian
blouse models. There is not a chance
that all the new suits will keep to the
straight and narrow ways of these first

Few American Soldiers Blinded.

According to the Army and Navy
Journal, the Office Of the surgeon gen.

statement that probably less than fifty
American soldiers have suffered total
blindness from wounds received in ac-

record considering the number of men
engaged and the intensity of the fight

were engaged.
