WHAT SMART WOMEN ARE WEARING
Useful Hints.
You can make of odds and ends of
accordion-pleated gauze or chiffon
pretty 5 o’clock tea jackets, and here
fashion is most elastic. You can
wear the tea jacket short or long, as
your fabric allows. A flchu-like collar
or a V-shaped vest of lace at the neck
is a charming finish, and the sleeves
can be picturesque, long and hang
ing, or short and puffed to the elbow.
One of the prettiest jackets was
made out of a length of pale blue
zenana. There was not sufficient ma
terial for a full sleeve, so it was
tight to the elbow, cut in scallops,
finished with some accordion-plaited
blue chiffon edged with a remnant of
Valienciennes lace. The collar was
made of white muslin, with insertion
and edgings of Valenciennes, fasten
ing to one side, with a big chou of
palest pink and blue chiffon.
■
Spring Colors.
There is a fancy for the violet tones
In the spring. But there is also a lik
ing for brown. And the four browns
of the year are clear brown, which is
a deep shade, golden brown, chestnut
fcrown which is known to all as a sort
of reddish tone, and Havana brown,
which as almost exactly the color of a
good cigar. These four browns will
furnish the theme for almost all the
brown dresses of the spring.
Charming House Gown.
That Parisian modistes have set the
seal of their approval on the princess
house gown this season is shown by
the number of this style among the
latest importations of French models,
‘/•he chic little gown sketched here is
a Parisian conception developed in a
challie of the palest blue. The grace
fully curved shoulder straps are of
white edged with a plaiting of white
satin ribbon, with the yoke and collar
of a white all-over lace.
The material is gathered under the
shoulder seams, and this fulness ad
justed about the waist and hips by
fourteen rows of shirring. The full
sleeves of elbow length are caught in
with double rows of shirring and fin
ished with a fall of Valenciennes lace.
The graceful lines of this gown
make it equally suited to slender or
to stout figures, and any of the pretty
summery materials, voile, organdy,
lawn or mousseline can be used effect
ively. Challie is particularly good for
this model. It is inexpensive but ef
fective, and falls in soft, pretty folds
from the shirring.
For Morning Wear.
Parisiennes have not yet tired of
the short skirt for morning wear, and
now that the smart little bolero coat
is so fashionable it has made the
tetteur costumes ever more chic. The
skirts should be very full, and great
attention should be given to the jupon
or blouse worn with it, for it must
match in same detail. For example a
frock of blue cheviot with stitched
fronts and bands relies for its touch
of color upon its verdigris-tinted
enamel buttons, the petticoat is of
the same greeny hue, as is also the
cravat.
Ferns in Pots.
Many persons have given up grow
ing ferns in pots on account of poor
success with them. They get fine
plants from the florist and in a few
months they go to pieces. There are
but a few things to know in order to
keep ferns in good condition, and
have them increase in beauty from
year to year, says an authority. They
must be grown in a moist atmosphere.
If kept in a hot, dry room they will do
no good. For this reason they do
poorly in rooms heated by steam or
hot water, unless provision is made
for adding moisture to the air. A
room heated by a hot-air heater which
has an evaporating pan is the best for
ferns. Also the soil must be kept
moist at all times, yet be well drained.
The soil should be made up of peaty
loam, one part, and leaf mold one part,
and a handful of bone-meal to a pot.
Making of Gowns.
The pointed girdle and corselet
bodices need fully developed figures,
therefore the very youthful evening
frocks are still simple blouse waists
gathered into close-fitted moderate
girdles with the pretty 1830 berthas
draping the shoulders and falling
wide over the full elbow sleeves. The
skirts of the frocks follow the prevail
ing mode—wide and round, gathered
or plaited at the waist and trimmed
with ruffles or flounces about the
lower half. Decided favor is being
shown velvet as a trimming on sheer
fabrics just at present, though this
may be varied by ribbon ruffles set on
in rows, waves or scrolls.
Embroidery.
Embroidery is the most effective,
as it Is the most approved, form Just
now of dress ornamentation, and the
blouse or separate waist is a favorite
medium for the display of handiwork
ct this sort. The fashion oracles pre
dict that none but embroidervd shirt
1 waists will be worn during the com
ing summer and this announcement
has stimulated interest in the em
broiderer’s art. The decorative pat
terns are executed both in self color
and in contrasting hues, an Oriental
blending of blue, crimson, green and
gold being much favored by those
who like gay effects. In the accom
panying illustration introducing a va
riety of stitches, the design is carried
out in Oriental coloring with collar
and cuffs to match .the embroidery of
the front.
„ oudoir
^Confidences
r •
Lapis lazuli beads are odd and
pretty.
Tablier effects are much in vogue.
Washable belts are very attractive.
It is predicted that colored belts
will have the preference during the
coming season.
Chambray is utilized for some
fetching shirt waist suits.
Checks, in all wool material are
used for smart tailor made costumes.
Chiffon silk stockings represent
the icreasing popularity for the chif
fon finish.
The newest link purses in gold
mesh are in circular shape.
Mohairs, plain and fancy, will be
much worn this spring.
Pompadour designs prevail in trim
mings and laces.
Pigeon Pie.
Choose four pigeons, and having
drawn, cleansed and trussed them
nicely, blanch and mince the livers
with one ounce of beef marrow, four
peeled mushrooms, one-half pound of
veal, some picked herbs and a table
spoonful of fine bread crumbs. Sea
son it with salt, pepper and grated
nutmeg, mixing it all through, and
then put a tablespoonful of the mix
ture in each bird. Line a pie-dish
with some of the forcemeat and, after
putting in the birds, arrange tiny
rolls of thinly sliced bacon and slices
of hard-boiled egg between the layers
with small dabs of butter at intervals.
After this is done cover the pie with
a good paste, leaving a hole in the
center. After baking in a moderate
oven, and just before serving, pour
a gill of clear rich gravy into the pie
through this center opening.
Checks Are Really Here.
It was said last year, that cheeks
had had their day, but if the stuffs in
smart shops are an indication we shall
be checked the coming spring as we
haven't been checked for many a
year.
Every possible fabric has its
check phase.' There are checked taf
fetas, checked louisines, checked cot
tons, checked voiles, black and white
shepherd checks, checks that borrow
the pastel hues of pink and white
and blue and white gingham, and all
those various mercerized checks
which wash and cost the price of cot
ton and yet delude the unknowing into
the belief that you are sporting a
silk frock. It may be said, too, that
the louisine checks in lavender and
mauve are particularly delightful.
Effective Negligee.
A simple but effective negligee of
pink liberty satin falls in straight robe
fashion from the shoulders, with a
ruche of the same material running
around the bottom of the skirt, around
the neck and down the front, where it
opens over a petticoat of white lace.
The garment is slightly low and
square in the neck, and a deep lace
collar falls over the shoulders and
back outside of the ruche. The
sleeves, which end at the elbow, are
Gnished with a ruche.
Beef is the most nutritious of all
animal foods, and can be eaten long

A paraffin tin should always be kept
tightly corked. Unless this is done
the oil will not yield such a good
light as it ought to do.
When color has been removed from
silk by acid it may be restored by
touching the spots with a little sal
volatile or hartshorn.
To clean bronzes rub in sweet oil
and then polish with soft cloths. Not
a particle of oil must be left. Finish
by giving a final rub with a chamois
leather.
Revival of Flower Turban.
For the flower turban one harks
back to the days when every woman
had a violet turban.
This turban is rather large this sea
son. It is pointed in front and is cov
ered as to the top with violets, while
the sides are thatched with leaves.
This violet and green together form a
very pretty combination which can be
made dressier by the addition of a
pink velvet bow, or a series of little
pink velvet bows, arranged around the
crown in such a manner that the little
bows touch the hair.
The gown to wear with the flower
toque is unquestionably a gown of the
same color. A pretty purple, a panc'
colored, or a lavender gown goes bf ■
tifully with a violet trimmed hat. A
one can even essay to wear pink i:
one cares to do so.
New French Blouse.
A fascinating creation which sug
gests apple blossom time is shown in
the accompanying sketch. White crys
tal silk serves for the entire waist, as
cavalier cuffs and stole collar are em
broidered in pastel shades. Narrow
black velvet in a Greek key pattern
gives character to the bodice, and both
of these decorations are novel as well
as inexpensive. Applique, guipure or
the popular spangle can be used Id
place of the embroidery. A bodice
suitable for formal occasions is ef
fected by omitting plastron and cuffs.
Styles in Hairdressing.
A commendable feature of the hair
dressing styles of to-day is the lati
tude permitted maid and matron. Thf
arrangement of the hair that is bes'
suited to the face is the style so fat
as the individual is concerned, and
while the low coiffures is now seen
more frequently than for some time
heretofore the high style is by no
means out of date and it is simply
a matter of choice and becomingness.
For evening particularly is the high
coiffure retained, the prevailing style
of hats being better adapted to the
low arrangement of the hair for less
ceremonious occasions and street
wear.
Lace Frocks.
Be it black or white, a lace dress is
more useful for an afternoon cos.ume
than almost any other sort of gown.
For one thing a deep lace gown will
frequently do service in the evening
for the theater or when staying tem
porarily at some hotel, besides which
it is the kind of dress which, made up
now, can be worn right through the
year, being equally appropriate at all
seasons.
Now is certainly the best time to
have a lace gown made up, for it will
then be ready for the spring weddings,
luncheons, and "bridge" afternoons,
besides which it is always easier to
get one’s costumes bought and fitted
before the great rush commences.
Blouses of Shaded Tints.
Blouses of satin or peau de cygne
j are made of shaded tints. One no
j ticed in a fashionable shop was shad
ed from the palest fawn to rich brown,
! and was made with a wide box plait
i down the front, on either side of
which were tucks fastened down with
tiny red buttons. The palest shades
of the satin were in the plait, shading
with brown toward the shoulders.
DAINTY KIMONA
No daintier or more useful gift could
be devised for the little guest than the
kimono, which has taken the place of
the sack. It is one of the most neces
sary articles in baby’s wardrobe. The
one. The scallops can be marked
around half of a spool, with a blue
pencil. Three pieces of wash ribbon
are sewed on each side of the sleeve
and under arms seams and these are
shape is so practical, there is no bind
ing of the tiny arms and shoulders, no
trying sleeves to squeeze into, for if
it shrinks a little, and that seems
to be inevitable with all flannels, there
will be ample space for that. The
illustration gives the garment laid out
flat and when a pattern cannot be pur
„>-rj. nn„ v.„ —f>Ut Without
tied in tiny bows to shape the garment.
Any flower that is small can be used
as a decoration, but the violet in white
and the forgetmenot in pale blue or
pink are given the preference. Cash
mere and silk flannel shrink less than
wool flannel and are favorite mate*
rials, and quite heavy enough for the
little wraps.
IN THE MIDDLE AGES
IGNORANCE AND FILTH CHIEF
CHARACTERISTICS.
Poverty, With Its Accompanying Con
ditions, Shortened the Lives of the
People—Leper Hospitals in Thou
sands in Europe.
The home of the laborer in the
nineteenth century contains furniture
and utensils which in the fourteenth
century would have represented the
highest grade of luxury. Employment
for the laborer must have been pre
carious and the pay disgracefully
small. Food was scarce and of the
kind which contains almost no nour
ishment. Tools of labor, even of the
most advanced trades, were clumsy,
inefficient and few in number, as well
as hard to get. if the whole stock of
a carpenter’s tools comprised two
broadaxes, an adze, a square and a
spoke shave, how limited must have
been the scope of his operations. Ag
riculture was a farce, for the yield
of wheat to the acre was considered
good if it reached six bushels.
In the fourteenth century people
lived in mud huts, with a rough door
and no chimney. It was not till a
century later that the erection of a
chimney was considered more than an
indulgence in luxury, a fire commonly
being built against the mud plastered
wall of the hut and the smoke escap
ing through the roof. All furniture
was of wood. Even the nobility had
no glass in the windows during this
time. Cleanliness was not a charac
teristic of the people, and Thomas
a Backet was considered more than
necessarily nice because he had the
floor of his house strewn with fresh
straw each day.
1 he rich in the middle ages con
cealed a want of cleanliness in their
homes and persons under a profusion
of costly scents, and to swarm with
vermin was no disgrace. When
Erasmus visited England in the reign
of Henry VIII. he complained bitterly
of the nastiness of the people and at
tributed the frequent plagues to this
cause. He said: “The floors are
commonly of clay, strewed with rush
es, under which lie unmolested a col
lection of beer, grease, fragments of
bones, spitile and excrement of cats
and dogs, and of everything which is
nauseous.” The densest ignorance
prevailed among the masses. Investi
gation has led to the conclusion that
the average duration of human life
at that period was not half what it is
at the present day. Bad food and
want of cleanliness swept away the
people of the middle ages by ravages
upon their health that the limited
skill of the time could not resist. A
historian of that time states that there
were no less than twenty thousand
leper hospitals in Europe. It is well
to remember when we feel inclined
to complain of the hard times in our
day that such a state would have
been unheard of opulence four hun
dred years ago.—New York Herald.
Physical Examinations Necessary.
The advisability of a periodical
medical examination of the apparent
ly healthy man is considered by Dr.
Alexander MacKenzie in the Detroit
Medical Journal. He sums up his ar
ticle in these words: "Physicians
have a tremendous responsibility in
keeping people well. Only a small
percentage of people enjoy perfect
health. Physicians should educate
people in apparent health to the ne
cessity of a periodical physical exam
ination. This examination, made at
least yearly, should be careful and
systematic, and should embrace all
the approved chemical and microscop
ical tests for the diagnosis of dis
ease.”
“The Cur Won’t Fight.”
Judge Sylvester Dana, who was for
some years judge of the police court
in Concord, N. H., always endeavored
to smooth over any little differences
between persons brought before him.
On one occasion the charge was for a
technical assault, and it came out in
the course of the evidence that the
parties were neighbors and had been
on the best of terms for some years.
“It is a great pity,” said the judge,
“that old friends, as you seem to have
been, should appear before me ia such
a way. Surely this is a case which
might be settled out of court.”
"It can t be done, judge,” answered
the plaintiff, moodily. “I thought of
that myself, but the cur won't fight.”
The Lily and the Rose.
Only a Rose, this Easter day.
Oil the breast of a maiden fair;
But a storv it tells as the organ swells,
And her head is bowed in prayer.
Only a Rose, in its hushed repose.
As it nestles so close to her heart;
But'its fragrance sweet may a tale repeat
Of two souls not far apart.
And what of the Lily, so pure, so sweet?
Does it speak to the maiden fair?
Of a Love it is telling, all others excell
Jng,
As it rests on the altar there.
’Tis a storv so old, it so often has been
told—
Ever sweet—ever old—ever new—
May this glad Easter day unto all of U3

A Wonderful Discovery.
Broadland, S. Dak., April 17.—Quite
a sensation has been created here by
the publication of the story of G. W.
Gray, who after a special treatment
for three months was prostrate and
helpless and given up to die with
Bright’s Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable, but
evidently from the story told by Mr.
Gray, there is a remedy which will
cure it even in the most advanced
stages. This is what he says:
“I was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and I searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright’s Disease, hoping that I would
be able to find a remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that I should
try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I praise God
for the day when I decided to do so.
for this remedy met every phase of
my case and in a short time I was
able to get out of bed and after a few
weeks’ treatment I was a strong, well
man. Dodd’s Kidney Pills saved my
life.”
A remedy that will cure Bright’s
Disease will cure any lesser Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are cer
tainly the most wonderful discovery
which modern medical research has
given to the world.

The Present Rate Law.
The duties of the present Interstate
Commerce Commission are to correct

If it finds that an unjust rate is in
effect, the railroad is notified. If it
declines to change it, the Commission
can bring suit in Court and if the
Court decides in favor of the Com
missioners’ finding, the railroad must
obey, or its officers may be brought up
for contempt of court and summarily
dealt with.

It is easier to find a thousand re
cruits than one general.
Insist on Getting It.
Some grocers say they don’t keep
Defiance Starch. This is because they
have a stock on hand of other brands
containing only 12 ounces in a pack
age, which they won’t be able to sell
first, because Defiance contains 16
ounces for the same money.
Do you want 16 ounces instead of 12
ounces for same money? Then buy De
fiance Starch. Requires no cooking.
People who are always regretting
the past, are always the people who
are putting the future on the bum.
Why It Is the Best

WHAT IS A BUILDING & LOAN AS
SOCIATION.
To those not familiar with the plan
and operation of a Building & Loan
Association it may be proper to say
that it is in fact a mutual society for
savings, in which every member, pop
ularly styled a “depositor,’ is a stock
holder and entitled to share in the
profits of the Company, the aggregate
savings being loaned to other mem
bers of the Association.
It affords every person an opportun
ity to at any time safely invest sums
ol $1.00 or more and assures him that
whatever interest may be derived
from loaning the aggregate sums will
be divided pro-rata and his share paid
or credited quarter-annually.
All money is loaned on first mort
gage security or on stock of the Asso
ciation to other members, and is re
paid in monthly installments. Hence,
safety is as nearly absolute as possi
ble, and, with common honesty and
with the exercise of ordinary judg
ment, the institution cannot fall.
It is not intended to be as flexible
as a bank, since the State law renders
all securites non-negctiable. There
fore, notice of withdrawal of money
is required, but this is more than off
set by the higher rate of interest or
dividends paid to its members. Per
manency in savings and investments
are its characteristics.
In additon to offering absolute safe
ty for Investments, it also offers an
excellent opportunity to own a home
of your own. Why forever pay rent?
You will assume practically no more
obligation in undertaking to' purchase
a home of your own. It will only re
quire the regular setting aside of such
an amount as you can from each pay
day until you have the necessary mar
gin of cash to put up as security.
Then for a time you pay about the
same as the former rent, and after
that you have only taxes and Insur
ance to pay. For circulars explaining
our plan, address Occidental Building
& Loan Association, 1523 Douglas SL.
