Ideal of the dressmaker, who certainly
achieves tho last two possibilities. She
utilizes handsomo bla ) poplins In inak

trims granlto gray cloth with blaclc tor
uocondary weeds, so that ber very art Is
a stay and consolntlon in times of grief,
Ulnck poplin being proclaimed this year

usually garnished with bands of lmglhh

of bereavement no longer faces l.er skirt

to be striven after. A picture la given of

cropo and nun's veiling cover tho small

Later mourning these dayn offers a very
tempting opportunity for splendid display
with somo women? oven widows, who wear
full costumes of carefully crcped black silk
muslin, or net gowns encrusted with black
chiffon flowors, the ibeautlcs of which are
often enhanced by an artistic application of
lustcrless spangles and beads. From Franco
they nro sending over u crcpo that, to all
appearances, Is qutto llko tho English or
thodox weed, but Is of a far lighter and
more pliant quality. It Is mado up with
applications of gun metal spanglos, which
Is now voted a mourning material.
In the makeup of somber gowns, for
women whoso pallor and wrinkles nro cru
elly heightened by tho close company of
tho dull weeds, a great deal of justltlnblo
art W displayed. It Is pormlssable, for
example, to open a mourning gown In n
round or square about the shoulders and
fill In this spocn with rucked white chiffon,
or make both yoke and collar, and undor
Hloovcs to match, of white net, dotted with
black .beads or chenille. Under tho not or
chltfon dull whlto silk Is tho lining; and
Just ni often bb whlto over whlto Is uaed
for this purpose, black net or chiffon Is
drawn over whlto and rolloves tho heavi
ness of tho mourning without detracting
from Us dignity or significance.
MniiriiltiK Mpcvo Unmix,
Whllo tho controversy over tho appro
priateness of the mourning sleeve band con
tinues to rugo between Its advocates and
Its enemies the passlvo mass of women are
silently advancing an Irreslstabla argument
In Its favor by wearing it. Porhaps tho
(Hoove strap Is not correct, but It certainly
Is worn, by nil women who go into courtesy
mourning, nud by thoso who aro deep In
weeds, but glad to savo tho heavy expense
of buying a whole new scries of winter

However, popular, the strap may be, it
should not be ndoptcd when mourning for
husband, child or parents is assumed, for
with crcpo a colored wrap Is In ycry bad
taste. One nnd tho chlofest drawback to
tho coat band Is the affectation nnd ostenta

tee that many ovor-thrlfty or tasteless

Miss Elslo French, who Is soon to marry

blcndo and strong abovo tho strength of
tho ordinary fashlonablo young women.
Out of doors tlicro Is no sport in which
sho docs not excel and her zest In exor
cise Is duo to hor upbringing. Unlike her
associates, when a Uttlo girl, a ochool girl
and Anally n debutante, sho never spent
her winters In New York. At Newport
sho stayed tho year round to bo bred a
genuine country lass nud with a boat, a
tennis racket, u horso and a golf club there
Id almost nothing sho cannot do. When nu
tomoblllng became tho fashion at Newport
Miss French carried off tho laurels from

sho loves best and whonover tho weather
permits sho drives herself in tho park, an
interesting nnd conspicuous llguro In red.
Hcd gowns and cloaks and hats aro a pas

waistcd, rosy young woman. For driving
sho invariably dons a splendid red broad

trains out a trlllo in tho renr and is re

If tho air Is very cold she draws on over
tho cloak n hugo capo of scarlet cloth, also
lined with rosy satin. On top of her heavy
golden hair n red velvet toque Is perched
and as her big horses whisk her across the
winter landscapo sho looks llko some
gorgeous tropical bird.
Indoors her gowns also nre chiefly of
this snngulno color, and her red tullo
gowns draped with wrcathH of popples nro
conspicuous at tho balls nnd dinners. Do

color, Miss French Is equally devoted to tho

Though Jowcl8 do not greatly Interest

'tho American queen of tho Irish court,"
nnd In no capital of Europo would her
llnttcrcrs allow that thcro was a woman
who surpassed her In tho elegance of her

daughter of Charles Carroll, had married
Richard Caton, a poor English gentleman
of handsomo faco and presence, who set

that had befallen them In the loss of valua

there Is a bathing pool which last summer
was liberally patronized by the ladles.
Around tho pool aro a number of dressing
rooms, and In ono of theso two ladles pre
pared themselves for a swim, ono going Into
the water beforo the other had disrobed. As
tho second lady was ubout to leave tho dress
ing room s'ho discovered her companion's
pocketbook lying on a bench and forthwith
alio reproached her friend for hor careless
ness. A Uttlo later the flrst lady went Into
tho dressing room nnd lying by tho sldo of
hor friend's clothes sho found a sack of dia
monds, such ns rings, pins and brooches,
whoroupon lu turn sho upbraided hor friend
for u worso ploco of carelessness than tho
affair of tho pocketbook. "But I havo no dia
monds," eald tho first lady In astonishment,
and almost nt onco thcro was a great huo
and cry from a dressing room nt the further
end of tho row, from which a woman soon
mado her appearance, claiming to hr. r'o been
robbed. It wns tound by eome mysterious
means thu diamonds had been transferred
from ono dressing room to another. Al.
three of tho ladles nro prominent and above
suspicion, No ono entered cither of the
rooms oxcopt their richtful occupants. No
one else was at the pool. Neither could
have entered n room without being seen by
the others.
And tho relation of this story brought out
an even moro mysterious one. There had
been tomo burglars lu town nnd ono night n
prominent gentleman warned his wife that
sho had better hide n very valuable diamond
which alio owned. Acting on this advice, tho
lady plnucd the diamond (o tho inner side of
her nlghtrobo and went to LcJ. In the morn
ing the diamond wns gone and since then
no traca of It has been found. It wns Impos
sible for burglars to have entered tho room
without leaving n trace. Tho husband Is
such a good man, so rich and so loud of his
wlfo that ho cpunot bo connected with tho
disappearance. Tho only possible solution
Bccms to bo that tho woman, nervous over
the fear of, burglars, had hidden tho Jewel,
whllo In n stato of somnambulism, so care
fully that It cannot bo found.
Tho third Btory wna odd rather than mys
terious. A woman had hung n diamond ring
on n nail In her kitchen while engaged In
somo household task. It disappeared and
no amount of search availed to reveal Its
whereabouts. Tho hired girl said Bho had
burned up a lot of sweepings nnd the nshes
from tho Btovo wero thoroughly Blfted. At
Inst the girl rcmemborcd a box of wet saw
dust which would not burn nnd which she
hnd emptied behind the house. Aftcrwnrd
this eawdtist had been shoveled to nuothpr
part of the yard around tho roots of a tree.
Tho womnn went down on her hands nnd
kncc3 and pawed over the heap and was ro
warded by recovering her diamond.

The Glory of
A Notable Present-Day Instance.
, BY MARGARET L. BItf GGS.
(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.)
Ouo lins to rend ti few of tho grntoftil letters from women to realize hoi
strong nru tho bonds of pympatliy which unite Mrs. ritiklnim to ttic hertrts oV
American women.
Just think of it, Mrs. IMnklmm hits been steadily ndvlsltis women about
their health day after day for twenty years. There Is siareely n hamlet ho
remote that It tloes not contain ono or moro of her friends, and more and more
in every walk of llfo the actual, real, permanent KnHl that Mrs. rinkham Is
doln;; is belnj: understood. Her medicines aro used by all classes and conditions
of women; lier advice is given to the humblest and tho richest without charge.
There Is no guesswork about Mrs. rinkliam's advice, as It Is the result of her
wldo experience. Xcarly every letter that comes to Mrs. I'lnkhani from women
she has cured refers to her advice as "kindly," as "good," as "thorough," nud
they prove how good It Is by going on to state that they have tried all other
means within their reach and appealed to Mrs. I'lnkhani as a last resort. Is
it any wonder that .Mrs. I'lnkhani lias a good name among such grateful hearts?
Is it not surprising that so many women will still persist in trying to battlo
with their Inllrniltles without her aid? Hut tho women who do this nre the
women who do not understand, and seemingly cannot be made to understand
how much better than any other way Is Mrs. l'lnkham's way.
Tho movement she Is making for tho henlth of women Is n movement on
a largo scale, l.ydla K. I'lnkliam's Vegetable compound has already cured
more cases of female troubles than any other medicine In tho world. There
can bo no doubt of tills; its uso Is wide-spread, tho help It brings unmistak
able, tho women who aro cured by It become Instantly enthusiastic over its
sterling worth.
A glorious thing Indeed It Is to havo a name associated with so much
health and happiness, to havo the absolute conlldeueo of such n multltudo of
women. Success in curing ono woman, or ono thousand women, or one hun
dred thousand women, acts merely as n spur to constantly Increased and
greater efforts' for other women who need It. And there Is nothing so impor
tant to the women of our country as the preservation of health which nlono
will enable them to sustain tho responsibilities which aro being forced upon
them In every way. lu every walk of life woman's duties aro becoming more
arduous, her responsibilities aro multiplied, the working classes aro demand
ing as necessary things today the very things which a few years ago wero lux
uries and absolutely out of their reach.
The sentiment of advancement carries with it nn enlarged Held for women.
It Is perhaps because of the widening out of women's lives that tho develop
ment of diseases of the feminine organism Is on the Increase; nt any rale,
this is an Incontrovertible fact, and women uro being awakened to It. And
so the Held of Mrs. rinkliam's work Is stentllly widening, and everywhere you
go you see how thorough her work it.
A woman is naturally timid about announcing herself as in need of Mrs.
I'lnkhanrs medicine; this frequently prevents her making uso of Lydla H.
I'lnkliam's Vegetable Compound until the nbsolute necessity for radical steps
Is forced upon her. Thus It Is that In most cases, where Mrs. Pinkham's
medicine is used, the woman who Is cured is doubly grateful because sho hud
about lost hope. It Is then that' the generosity latent in every woman's heart
prompts her to Join, In so far ns she reasonably can, In helping others on the
way to health.
Tho woman who Is well, who never had an ache or pain In her life, is so
'fortunate and so proud of her health that she tloes not understand the en
thusiasm of the women who havo been cured by Mrs. I'lnkhani of serious ills.
Hut there is a vast army of women who know how sympathetic, nnd kindly
nnd clllclent is tho nld which Mrs. IMnkham gives to sulTerlng women, nnd it
Is among theso women and their friends thnt Mrs. l'lnkham's namo stands
built around with a wall of thankfulness.
Tho women who are accustomed to speak slightingly of Mrs. l'lnkham's
medicine are abashed into silence when they come in contact with one of
those, her grateful friends. No woman ever had a personal friendship with
so many women. No person ever rendered women such useful service.
