Every little while all brooches, rings
and such things that are in constant

brush that has been dipped in eau de

of fourteen is of blue voile with full
skirt shirred half a dozen times at
the waist and again half way to the
knees. The shirred waist has fancy

the sleeves deeply shirred at the top
have fancy cuffs like the reveres tin

When Ihe small maid shows a ten
dency to outgrow clothes, instead of
letting out the hem of the skirt, when
making the dress cut the waist two
or three inches longer, then lengthen
the frock by changing tlie belt.
Coquetry in Fur Stoles.
Stoles in every sort of fur still con
tinue to encircle fair, slender throats.
It makes little difference from what
animal the soft, delicate covering is
taken, and whether it lie black. gra\.
brown or white. Neither does it seem
to be a matter of great Import wheth
er the stole is long or short, broad
nr narrow, if it be of the rircle form
that is the chief thing In regard U
this bit of modishness for the fair
one's toilet.
I he next thing considered Is the
way that it shall be worn. Twice
about the swan-like throat is the stole
wound and then coquctlshly one end
is thrown over the left shoulder.
Homely Refreshment*.
Perhaps It. is because this is to he
an economical season and many are
not entertaining as elaborately as in
previous years, or perhaps because
fashions change a great deal in a
short time; but many of the dainties
served now at dinners arc of simple
and homely description.
One of the most popular is the
school girl delicacy known as fudge,
broken up fudge and cream candy are
frequently served in place of French
bonbons.
fable decorations are very simple,
and green and silver are the favorite
combinations. There is very little
show of elaborateness In any of the
entertainments. The predilection for
home sweets lias wrought havoc
among the confectioners and caterers.
Smart Trimmings.
Fringe trimmings are considered the
smartest mode of dress embellishment
this season. Particularly effective are
the fine silk fringes made to order
with knotted headings; those of the
sewing silk and twist variety are also
greatly In vogue. Large fringed tas
sels are seen on many of the new
model skirts and are a popular means
this season of garnishing the elabor
ate oveniug wrap. Narrow strips of
fringe Insertion are attractively em
ployed as piping at the edge of large
tucks, and also in adorning the cors
age. This style of trimming is com
monly known as the "Tom Thumb"
fringe, and when in white or delicate
shade is especially chic and pretty
for the embellishment of evening
frocks.
Worth Knowing.
A good housewife will never allow
anything to go to waste. Instead of
buying dusters or window cloths she
w ill make use of her discarded pocket
handkerchiefs, scarfs and silk petti
i'^ats, and will find she has some
thing better than she could buy any
way.
There is very apt to he a draft at
the head of a brass or iron bed, and
a little curtain of some pretty cre
tonne and will add to your comfort
ami improve the appearance of your
room.
Use dark green blinds in a bedroom.
It will prevent the glare so trying to
your eyes.
Bedroom Hangings.
Nothing is prettier or more dainty
tor bedroom decoration than the up
holstery dimities in the old English
style. They can be got in many pat
terns and launder beautifully, so are
more durable than a flimsy fabric.
They may he used in the entire decor
ation of the room for bedspread, can
opy, window hangings and dressing
table covers.
At the windows it is prettiest to
hang the curtains straight down each
side with a full vallance across the
top. Cushions for chairs and corner
seats can be made to match too.
Wear of Wedding Veils.
Wedding veils must be put on now
so that nearly all of the hair shows,
and give a long, narrow look instead
of spreading at the sides. One of the
most effective lately seen was a scarf
about a yard wide and three and one
half yards long, edged with a little
real lace, fine yard of it was turned
back at the top to make a short veil,
with a long one tinder it. This was
caught on to a half-wreath of orange
blossoms, which is now the proper
finish. Two very small ostrich tips
are sometimes seen.
Butter for a Bump.
While mothers’ kisses are supposed
to take the soreness out of all sorts
of hurts and bruises, even this sov
ereign specific will not keep a bump
from turning black and blue. If a
bump Is well buttered soon after it is
made, the skin, it is said, will not
change color. A woman who did not
believe it, hut tried it. all the same,
says her children have been saved
many ugly marks by means of this
simple and Inexpensive remedy.

HOW TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ESCAPED
DREAD CATARRH BY USE OF PE-RU-NA.
Catarrh Robs Women of Health and Beauty.
Pe=ru-na flakes Women Healthy and Beautiful.
Miss Amanda Johnson.
Miss Amanda Johnson, Fairchild, Wis., writes.
‘•I write to tell you how much Peruna benefited Tie. Fm
a number of years I had pain in my head around my eyes,
and I thought It was because my eyes neodod treatment
so I went to an oceulist and had glasses fitted to my eyes
and wore them for some time, but felt no relief whatever.
In fact, I felt worse than before, and camo to the conclu
sion that the trouble was not with my eyes, but with my
bead and that it must be catarrh. As so many of my
friends had used Peruna with benefit for this trouble, I
thought I would try it. I was not sorry that I did so, for
In a short time I began to improve, and in four weeks my
eyes were in splendid condition, my general health was
much improved and all the catarrh of the head was gone.
I was glad to get rid of this trouble and am glad to endorse
such a good medicine as Peruna.”—Miss Amanda Johnson,
Miss Flora Ilausar, 1033 S. Mow
Jersey Street, Indianapolis, Ind.,
writes:
••I think I must have been trou
bled with catarrh ever since I was
very young, aggravated each time
/ caught a cold. This did not
prove sufficiently serious to be ob
noxious until last winter. Then
my head and nose were so stopped
up that I felt I must do something.
Peruna was recommended to me by
a friend. / used It for tour weeks
and found to my relief that It cured
me. I have not bad a bit of trouble
since. My head Is clear, and / can
safely affirm that Peruna cured
me. ’’—Miss Flora Hauser.
Hundreds of Women Cured by Pe-ru-na
of Annoying Catarrh.
DR. HARTMAN has probably done
more than any other physician
toward popularizing a mean# of
escape from the facial deformities, such
as watery eyes, twicted nose, offensive
breath, dry cracked lips, due to the rav
aging effects of catarrh.
He has made chronic catarrh a li/e-long
Study. His remedy, popularly known as
Peruna, is the most famous remedy for
cat'rrh In existence.
Probably there Is not a man or woman,
boy or girl, within the bounds of the
United States that has not heard of Pe
runa. By far the largest majority have
used Peruna.
The multitude of people that have been
cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna
can never be known.
t Miss Flora Hauser.
Many a girl has regained her faded
beauty, many a matron has lengthened
the days of her comely appearance by using
Peruna.
Peruna produces clean mucous mem
branes, the base of facial symmetry and a
perfect complexion.
The women have not been slow to dis
cover that n course of Peruna will do more
toward restoring youthful beauty than ail
the devices known to science.
While it is true that Peruna cures ca
tarrh wherever located, yet It Is advis
able for everyone to use Peruna os a
preventive and not wait until catarrh
hr.* fastened itjelf In some part of the
system.
Peruna acts quickly and beneficially
on the Inflamed mucous membranes
lining the different organs of tho body.
Thus it will cure catarrh wherever
located.
If you do not derive prompt and saMsfac
torv'results from the use of Peruna .write
at once to I)r. Hartman, giving a full
statement of your case, and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.
