NISW YORK, Jan. 18. With slcct In the

dumps, fashion linn nevertheless declared
winter to be olTlclally over. Uauzo and

leathern shies of every woman's purso and

on with the cliarmlnn; novelties spread In
overy show window. Sonic of tis aro deeply

forms tho simple skirt nnd body of the
waist. A draped bertha of Imitation Urns
sels lace forms soft and graceful lines about
the shoulders, helped out with straps of
warm red velvet. A glided butterfly of
crimson gauze brings In tho essential touch
of gilt, without which no Woman feels any
of her toilets complete.
Ono of the exquisite new spring shadow
crcpc3 Is utilized In tho making of the
third smart waist of tho trio. Hbadow
silks come from France, where they learned
tho art of casting, upon the pastel tinted
surfaces of line grained Chlneso crepes, tho
sharp ycl dcllcatu black shadows that dec
trie light throws. Tho studies of foliage
forms In gray and black on the faintly
tinted sill; produco Inimitable effects and In
tbh lnstanco a subtlo rosy lllau (lush
spreads over tho crepe and a deeper lltne
liberty tlssuo Is combined with It. A little
laco nnd black chenille and two rovers of
pure amethyst colored velvet held by two
panto buttons nro tho other elements In
this ndmlrablo combination.
Dinner DrcHM.
Aside from tho three designs of fancy
evening waists, which, with their odd sleeves
nnd quaint nrrangcimtits of laco, typify
soino of tbo very newest Ideas In bodice
decoration, a new sleeveless dinner coutumo
from Paris Is Illustrated. At leant this Is
what tho Parisian dressmaker calls n
sleeveless costume, esteeming tho garlands
of roses and straps of velvet as requisite
ornamentation and support. Violet chiffon,
glistening with small pansy faces worked
In gold, Is tho chief fabric and splendor of
tho gown. Down tho front nnd below the
knees runs nn Inset of lace woven solidly
of gold thread, hut In varying opalescent
tone3 of green, yellow, deep gold and pale
lllnc. Ullt tlssuo roses encircle tho arms
below tho shoulders and straps of violet
velvet ribbon run up over them to show
womlrously against tho wearer's white
neck.
Tlio dress la trained In tho rear and Is
very long In front. So long, Indeed, that
tho wearer must lift It a llttlo or thrust
hr foot out cnutlously and push her
from a rosu of gold or silver tlssuo, Is
sot a trlflo to ono side of It.
For tho morning nnd Indoors the head
dross Is slmplo, Indeed. Tho full gypsy
Ido rolls, n white, straight, central part,
couple of long pearl-topped tucking
combs and u soft coll at the rear Is tho
most modish wny of combing one's self for
breakfast and when serving its a luncheon's
hestcss.
In I'arls, whence wo cot our hulr pow

Is not tho fashion to wear hnlr ornaments,
'Hip American woman Is, however, glowing

At tho wedding of Miss Elslo French nnd
Mr. Vnnderbllt u stalwart and beautiful
wedding enko that measured four feet nnd
a half from tho base to topmost flower
was ono ono of tho Interesting features
or tlio bridal breakfast. Tho llttlo Queen
of Holland, although sho doubtless heard
notning about this towering Bunnr c.istlo.
hai broken Its record by ordering one n foot
nnd n half taller. Theso two brides, on
ineir respective sides of tho water, hnvo
therefore set the fashion In favor of loflv
canes.
Tho ono mndo for Miss French was set
upon nn exquisite base of opon-worked
silver gilt. On top of tho plaster and
sugar monument stood n chnrmlng vase of
transparent sugar crystal and from this
flowed down n wonderful shower boquct
of natural ornngo blossoms and snillnx.
Clear or tinted sugar crystal ami natural
ilowcrs aro not tho only materials for dcecr

new wedding enkes. Painted and spangled
satin panels n-o let Into tho four or eight
big faucets of the sugared haso very often,
and nt tho wedding Inst autumn of n well
known American hclrcssi tho wholo cake
was cast In plaster and carried triumphantly
to her now homo by tho brldo nnd set
up under a glass ease to servo nw n monu
mont nnd memorlnl of the bridal day.
Tlio queen of Holland's wedding enko Is
built In six tiers or terraces, on tho shies of
which in sugar her christening, her review
of tho fleets, her opening of tho exposition
her coronation, her betrothal, nnd finally
about tho baoo of tho small sixth terrace
her wedding is Illustrated In high relief,
The likeness of tho queen and her hus

tho fashion nowadays nt our own weddings,
Into tho. loaf a ring, thimble, nnd a gold
henrt aro slipped nnd only tho brldo uud
her maids and ushers and nearest of lln
cat of this cake.
For tho wedding guests It Is still tho
fashion to prepare cako boxes. At Miss
Plerpont Morgan's wedding tho boxes wore
covered with white watered silk nnd on
tho top ot tho enko that lay Inside each
pretty reccptaclo tho entwined Initial of
tho brldo nnd groom were written In whlto
sugar. For this beautiful wedding cele
bration tho great enko was a double-story
whlto sugar tcmplo of tho purest classic
mould, an exceedingly perfect expression o
confectioner's art, but a very costly ono aa
well.

Last summer tho prldo of pompadour

nro owing chiefly to tho prevalence of

If ono Is wearing nn ovcnlng dress cut
frankly on tho pattern that prevailed In

folding bed In n Louis XVI boudoir. Tho
propor arrangement, with tho aforemen
tioned typo of gown, would bo a colffuro
pinned rather low upon tho back of tho
head and a straight around coronet of blos
soms and delicate green form foliage.
On tho other hnnd, for tho proper adjust
ment of n squash hat and tho framing ot
an oval faco tho hnlr must bo rolled for

(ALL IllOUTS UESEUVED.)
Mis. Plnklmin'at offoflu in liolmlf of miiVorliijr wonifii Is flnutiftorlXftt liy
deep sincerity. ,
This Is it fnot wliloh niUHt lie pluln (o nil wonien stilllt'Iotilly Interostetl In
lliolf own woli'iirc nntl In lie wolf nre ttf other women to follow tlio course
of -Mrs. l'lnUlinm's work. That she Is tlolnj.' n Kient wurl; nml n piotl one
for Hie wonien of this country U true beyoml nil itieslloii. .Morover, the
work tint t she l titling renelies Into the niltlst of out- families nml sheds it
brighter nttllnnec around many llreshles.
It Is dlllleult for the woman who has not iiersonally tested .Mrs. l'lnklianrs
exiierlence nnd skill to realize Hie tleei jnitltudu of those who have. Most
of us linvu been educated by our iudlu'eronee to look upon Mrs. I'lnkliam as
an advertisement nnd not as a reality. The fact. Is that Mrs. l'lnklmm Is a
living, brontliltiB person who hits devoted her life lo the eurlii, or distress
ing ailments of women. Women front every corner of our country write to
lierj the corerspondenee therefore Is voluminous, but It Is sacredly coiillden
Hal anil women only see ami answer the letters from women asking ad
vice nbotit lienltli. This one fact alone lias made Rival numbers of women
write to Mrs. lMnkliam, who could not place the family physician In posses
sion of the necessary details about their condition.
To those women who need Mrs. rinkliam's counsel, how shall It be made
plnln that they may seek It safely, If not tliroujih the testimony of women
who have sought It before them and found the help they so much needed?
The most dlllleult cases come to Mrs. I'lnkliam, because, as a general thing,
women exhaust the resources of the family physician and perhaps of several
other physicians before they make application to Mrs. Plnkhnni for her ad
vice. It Is not strange, then, that the women who ilnd the means of cure
through Mrs. I'lnkhant's help should be grateful beyond any words to express.
Illnesses of women are real troubles; they creep upon women unawares
many times through their own Ignorance or disregard of Indications; once
they come, however, they stay. This Mrs. I'lnkliam has understood, and no
one has done so niucli as she to help stllleiiiig women. Why do the palo
cheeks appear so early In life? What brings about that hopelessness whleh
makes so many women's lives dark and dreary? Surely the mainspring of
discouragement Is In some distinctly feminine III.
It Is dlllleult to realize what a great help Lydia K. l'lnkham's Vegetable
Compound has been to the women of America, unless you are suillclently In
terested In the matter to make diligent Inquiry among your friends; It will
surprise you then to llnd that every woman you know has either been helped
by this medicine herself or knows some one who hits. There Is absolutely
no question about the etllcleney of Mrs. l'lnkham's medicine for femalu
troubles. It Is a perfect safeguard against the development of diseases aris
ing from Irregularities or from any displacement of the organs of the genera
tive system. Why, then, will wonien who know they need help, who have
evidence all around them of lives that have come to discouragement and
hopelessness, hesitate to ask for the aid whleh .Mrs. I'lnkliam oilers. so freely?
There Is no trap beneath Mrs. rinkhnm'H offer of free advice. It Is quite
true that Mrs. I'lukham will recommend In nearly every case the taking of
Lydla 13. l'lnkham's Vegetable Compound, but she will give those instruc
tions about Its use whleh will be a material aid to the working out of the
best results. Furthermore, the cost of the course of l.ydla K. rinkliam's
Vegetable Compound Is Inslgnlllcant compared with that whleh will be pre
scribed by any local physician. The vital thing about this, however, !s the
unalterable fact that In using Mrs. l'lnkham's medicine for any of the ills
of women you are using the medicine that cures.
There are great numbers of wonien today who do not realize how sick
they are, who believe that they have to struggle through with their back
aches and the wearying, draged down .sensation, without comprehending that
they must get help for those things or their lives will be spent 'in misery.
These nre not idle statements. If any woman doubts them lot her look
around among her friends and inquire.
are. who believe that they have to struggle through with their backaches and
the wearying dragged-down sensation, without comprehending that they
must get help for .those things or their lives will be spent In misery. These
are not idle statements. If any woman doubts them let her look around
among her friends and Inquire.
The helping hand of Mrs. Pliikhiim Is .outstretched to all such women.
Her advice Is the safe advice of the person who knows. It Is impossible that
any case can come to her so radically different from those that have pre
ceded It that she will not know how tfi give counsel. The diseases of women
are an open book to Mrs. Hnkham, and her pronounced success, unvarying
for many years, shows the virtue of her medicine and value of her advice.
