Sofa Pillows
The new soft pillows are now being
made of very gorgeous and rather4
mostly materials silk velour and gold
cloth being really the latest thing
These are heavy and wear well so
they pay in the end if one does not
become tired of the same cover Gold
braid is used for finishing and narrow
cordlngs of velvet are frequently used
along the edge The cloth of gold is
dull shade suggestive of bronze and
the design is a handsome novelty but
dot really practical for everyday use
Leather designs are still handsome
for the den and are delightfully dur
able but not at all appreciated as an
article intended to promote rest Ori
ental designs are most attractive and
are quite Inexpensive and are made
with very little work The heavy
linen stamped with odd conventional
designs make up very prettily for a
really useful pillow while the plaid
tinghams and other wash fabrics are
Still holding favor fof the couch which
is used for the siesta
Useful Pin Cushion
The convenience of a pin cushion
which can be hung at the side of a
mirror or in some similar position is
self evident A novel and useful one
can be mare from a large size dolls
parasol To get the best results cue
of some bright colored silk should be
used It must be closed and the cov
er tacked to the stick at each rib
then each of the sections becomes
separated from every other and can
be fitted at the top and stuffed either
with bran or wool wadding picked into
bits When the cushions are slipped
into place they can be tacked firmly
into position and the parasol further
ornamented with bows of ribbon tied
on wherever fancy indicates To
make the best foundation the parasol
should have a booked handle by which
It can be hung but should such not be
obtainable a ribbon loop can be at
tached to a handle of any sgrt
For Morning Wear
Pretty and attractive bouse jackets
deserve to be numbered among the
essentials of life and add both to the

collar that is almost a cape and is

is shown in pale blue cashmere with
trimming of ecru lace The fronts
are loose but the back is fitted so
doing away with any unpleasant sug
gestion of a negligee and the sleeves
are the wide puffed ones of the sea

Beauty in Fine Linen
Fine linen really presents a study
in art nowadays while as to costliness
one might squander a small fortune
on a comparatively meager household
equipment in this line The linen
itself so fine and sheer and silky as
to delight both eye and touch is
adorned with Arabian cluny and
filet laces the antique square mesh
styles being particularly desirable for
combination with this material A set
comprising lunch cloth and napkins
is made beautiful with drawnwork and
W banded round a center of plain
linen Delicate shading is ffected by
means of the drawnwork Here and
there rpon it flowers are tossed
roses clover blooms chrysanthemums
ard tulips These have filmy centers
of drawnwork giving a most graceful
touch of lightness All the decoration
is hand wrought the work of humble
peasants in Germany who surely
must have labored at It for very love
Sectional Petticoat
The petticoat made with detachable
flounce has many advantages It al
lows the use of clinging materials
above the knees where such are desir
able and of silk or any preferred fab
ric below It makes possible the
snug habit back in combination with
a generously flared flounce Withal
it is economical as
one upper portion
can be made to
serve for several
flounces so allow
ing change of color
and appearance
with the minimum
of cost or of sev
eral - washable
flounces to one
skirt the flounces
4635 Sectional
Petticoat
22 to 34 waist
always being the perishable portion
This very excellent model combines
stockinette with taffeta but various
combinations can be made of silk
mohair cambric or any other skirting
material can be used or again the
skirt can be made suitable for the
thinnest gowns by the addition of a
straight flounce of plisse silk or net
over the circular one of silk
The petticoat consists of skirt
flounce and band The skirt is cut in
five gores and is without fulness at
the back Thf placket is made at the
left front seam and the upper edge
can be finished with a belt or cut in
dip outline and underfaced as pre
ferred Both the band and the flounces
are circular the former slightly the
latter generously and at the edge of
the flounce is a narrow gathered frill
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is for skirt 2
yards 21 or 1 yards 30 inches wide
for flounce and band 6 yards 21 or
3 yards 36 inches wide
The pattern 4635 is cut in sizes for
a 22 24 2b 28 30 32 and 34 inch
waist measure
Bridal Fashions
Erides are wearing the plainest of
dead white satin gowns at the altar
These are generally cut en princess
with some beautiful lace employed for
the empiecement and sleeves
Lace veils are more worn than tulle
The flowers for this occasion
white roses and myrtle a sprig of
orange blossoms is generally mingled
with the flowers of the wreath Tliese
are worn rather low on the forehead
the hair being pulled well forward
and pinned here and there over the
flowers to prevent- that heavy regular
ity of the line of white that is some
times so trying to the prettiest and
youngest of faces
Comfort and Economy
It is in the construction of dainty
lingerie that the clever amateur can
show her individual taste and talent
And here it is that sale remnants can
be utilized A length of pretty silk or
satin with a little nuns veiling can be
turned into the coziest bed or dress
ing jacket and perhaps trimmed with
a dainty collar taken from an old
blouse The kimona is a charming
pattern for the flannel dressing gown
and very little trimming is required
on this beyond a piece of cainty em
broidery or lace at the neck and to
edge the wide sleeves
Latest in Sleeves
More sleeves of evening coats are
made with the deep cuff and the full
drooping puff above than in any other
way but the flowing sleeve rather
short filled in with chiffon or lace
ruffles is better There may be a nar
row cuff at the wrist on the broad
hem One of the latest- ideas is to
have a broad hem of velvet seven or
eight inches deep just at the bottom
without stitching or any finish ex
cepting folds or bands of the goods
that fall over at the top
Sweaters With Sleeves
An ideal arrangement to wear under
jackets cold days is the sweater which
has sleeves It comes in all colors and
may be as smart as one wishes

In my 40 years experience as a
teacher and practitioner along hygie

cian I have never found a food to
compare with Grape Nuts for the bene
fit of the general health of all classes
of people I have recommended
Grape Nuts for a number of years to
patients with the greatest success and
every years experience makes me
more enthusiastic regarding its use
I make it a rule to always recom
mend Grape Nuts and Postum Food
Coffee in place of coffee when giving
my patients instructions as to diet for
I know both Grape Nuts and Postum
can bo digested by anyone
As for myself when engaged in
much mental work my diet twice a
day consists of Grape Nuts and rich
creamt I find it just the thing to build
dp gray matter and keep the brain
in good working order
- In addition to its wonderful effects
as a brain and nerve food Grape Nute
always keeps the digestive organs in
perfect healthy tone I carry it with
me when I travel otherwise I am
almost certain to have trouble with
my stomach Name given by Postum

T A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh It
spares no class or nationality The
cultured and the ignorant the aristocrat
and the pauper tho masses and the classes
are alike subject to ia grippe None are
exempt all are liable
Have you the grip Or rather has
ho grip got you Grip is well named
The original French term la grippe has
been shortened by the busy American to
read grip Without intending to do so
a new word has been coined that exactly
describes the case As if some hideous
giant with awful Ghip had clutched us
in its fatal clasp Men women children
After hesitating a man often finds it
too late to act
Prehistoric Remains
An Indian territory exchange says
taere is a ridge of land in the Osage
nation covered with car loads of ante
diluvian remains The collection of
petrified bones covers several acres
and it is estimated that about a hun
dred car loads of the stony remains
of prehistoric animals are lying on the
nogback Most of the preserved
relics of a long past period are larger
than the skeletons of the present ele
phants and several of the bones are
still white A local scientist suggests
that the animals fled to the ridge to
escape a flood and died there
Australian Government Sued
The Australian government finds it
self the defendant in a suit for 5000
on account of the most absurd of de
cisions The new immigration law de
clares that an immigrant must submit
to an educational test in his native
language before he is allowed to land
Not long ago a mate on a ship was
arrested for smuggling When he was
released he was ordered to submit to
the test or be expelled from the coun
try It was found that his father was
a German and his mother a native of
Egypt He was born in Alexandria
It was decided however that his na
tive language was Greek since Greek
is the European country nearest to
Egypt He failed to pass an exami
nation and was condemned to a fur
ther imprisonment of six months Nov
he is suing for damages -with a fair
chance of getting them
whole towns and cities are caught in the
baneful grip of a terrible monster
The following letters speak for them
selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in cases
of la grippe or its after effects

Last spring Lsuffered from la grippe
and was partially cured but tho bad after
effects remained through the summer
and somehow I did not get strong an I

was visiting me asked me to try Peruna
and I did so and found it all and more
than I had expected It not only cured
me of the catarrh but restored me to per

brought a happy feeling of buoyaucy
