with cloth taken from tho Roods of which
tho skirt Is made, or laco will do as well,
nnd to cryatalllzo fi mental picture of this
n tanBlblo picture of tho very newest crea

Tho skirt In this Instance Is of satin
faced cashmcro of an alluring tinge called
creamed coffee, bocaiiso It Is of that pnlo
golden tan that coed coffeo takes when
dashed with genuine, country cream.
Etltchlngs and straps and buttons of gold

Tho walst( which buttons up In tho rear
and which Is pucked In tiny upstanding

Inches of the waist line, Is mnrlo of
creamed coffee-colored Mandarin crepe. A
bolero collar and small cuffs of cream
colored Oenoeso lace, a gilt buckle holding
tho bolero fronts fast over tho bust, nnd a
glrdlo of ooft stein satin arc the artfully
calculated details of this uncrltlclsable
spring suit.
A SprlnK Velveteen. ,
Hoforo tho raw blasts of March nnd on
Into tho flrat bright cynical days of April
It would bo good to wear such a gown as
has been planned nnd sketched for a slim
dchutanto who knows the valuo of pretty
clothes. This Is a figured spring velvctoen
In tapestry bluo of two Hhndcs. Velveteen
no wore rejoicing nil winter, and for tho
lighter weather has been Introduced n very
much lighter weight that takes tho mots
turn like n duck and sheds tho dust llko a
slato roof. The figured portion of tho Bull
referred to Is tho skirt and front and collar
of the captivating tallqil Jacket. Scrolls
nnd dashes and dots of dull bluo on a
emoky blue ground Is what tho brighter
portion shows, while tho deep footband of
tho skirt, tho alcoves nnd body of tho coat
tro In solid dull old cobalt. Tho edges

of solid smoffo bluo cloth upon which rows
of dull bluo soutnehc aro laid and tho lint
of blue felt rolls up nt ono sldo to show
ngnlnst the. hair a knot of radiantly pink
roses.
A Sum in or Coiulilniitliin,
It Is nri unwarranted daring to discuss
even now tho (luffs nnd farthing nils of
Juno, for tho muslins of tho future are
already revealed nnd It Is useless to try
to wlthstan'd tho' temptations of showing
what two n,t least of the sweetest models
nro like. Muslin and very thirl, very glaco
taffeta Is going to bo the most modish
combination and ono of theso Illustrated
prophecies shows How tho nlllancu Is
effected. I'rlmurlly n glittering whlto
taffeta undcrsllp Is used nnd on this is cast
a veil of alternating bands of sheer em
broidered orgundlo nnd tucked organdie.
Tour strips of taffeta extending from tho
wnls down hold tho skirt width of muslin
together nnd servo nlso In some sort ns
extra support for tho six bouffanto frills of
titrtcth that flower out from 'below tho
l&ecR The wilst of this gown Is all mado
o( tucked and .embroidered organdie, with
taffeta rising to tho surface at throat and
Mist and over tho bust, at which point
two tacsolod scarfs hold tho muslin fronts
together upon the tucked velvet.

A fitting companion to this robo fit for

According to our modarn scientific Ideas
as to tho careful treatment of bubles, thoso
of Japan would seem to havo n hard time,
and yot thoro nro no healthier nor fattor

earth. Wo Insist on n fixed temperature, on
sterilized milk and all sorts of Improved

It Is dressed and undrosscd In it frigid

tender Uttlo eyes nro always exposed to tho
full glnro of tho sun ns It Is carried on Its
mothor's back. It Is to bo feared, how
over, that this latter treatment often does
nffect tho eyes of tho children, though thoy
got ovor it later in life.
Tho Japancso nro a very cleanly race
lu all main particulars, but these do not
always embrneo tho Uttlo baby faces, which
nro sometimes qulto smutty. This suits tho
baby nil right, lu fact any baby would toll
you that It was far moro humane than that
compulsory trcntmcnt with unsolicited soap
nnd water! Perhaps this 1b tho reason that
tho Japanese babies are said never to cry.

Such a statement Is an exaggeration of tho
truth; whllo they nro good-natured abovo

It would be lmposslblo to find a moro fas
cinating sight than a clean Japancso baby
n Us fresh robes. These aro mado of cropo
of tho brightest and gayest design and
color. In winter tho Brnnll head Is covered
with a worsted cap of tho same shades.
Tho bright black eyes look out of a round
face which has the most rxqulslto coloring
of brown and deep red, nnd tho black hair
Is cut In all sorts of fantastic wnys, Just
like tho hair of the Jnpnncso dolls Imported
Into this country. Tho whole family tako
tho deepest prldo In tho baby, and espe
cially the father and mother, who arc often
foolishly Indulgent. Somo parents seem In
capable of denying their children anything
nnd many Is the household ruled by a small
tyrant of a girl or boy. In this way thcro
aro often spoiled children In Japan.
The babies of tho lower classes aro gen
erally carried on tho back of tho mother
or Uttlo sister; sometimes tho small
brother Is obliged to bo tho nurserymaid.
Tho "kimono" is mado extra largo nt tho
back, with u pocket largo enough to Blip
the baby In, and Its round head reaches
tho back of tho neck of tho person who Is
carrying It. It Is not an uncommon sight
to sco children who nro barely old enough
to toddle themsolvcs, burdened with a
small brother or sister sleeping peacefully
on their backs. At first you open your
eyes In horror and expect to sco tho small
ono stagger and fall beneath tho weight,
but apparently none of Its movements nro
Impeded and It plays with the other chil
dren as unconcernedly as If not loaded
down with another member of tho family.
At Nagasaki, amongst tho women coalers
who coal tho ship, you sco many with
babies on their backs In this way. Tho
mothers work all day In tho rain, or tho
sun, or tho snow and thero baby sleeps
Indifferent to everything, tho top of Us
head alono visible, whllo tho movements
of the mother' do not seem In the least
hindered nnd sho accomplishes as much
work as tha men. It seems as If tho babies
of this clnss wero born stoics.

seen one or two such women In their lifetime. The lives of such women are
short; they are herolnm pure and simple while they live; many of them never
utter a complaining Word, from one year's end to another; they have their
duty to perform, and they do It all and more. These women are martyrs;
they leave a hallowed memory, but thoy make their children scltlsh. Such a
woman Is always running upstairs to get her husband's overcoat when he ought
to go for It himself, she Is losing sleep at night to allay some trilling ailment
of some member of the family when she, herself, Is lu far greater distress, or
she Is doing some other uuseltlsh thing that ( Is but making her own life
shorter.
It Is this real silent sufferer, whose devotion to her household la so com
plete that she hides her own miserable health, who goes through her round of
drudgery every day ami llnally succumbs to the Inevitable.
If these women would but realize that It Is their lives anil not their deaths
that Is needed! Ciiimot we whisper n word of caution to them and gel them
to take heed to themselves? Can vu not convince them that however heroic
their daily life, It Is a mistaken and short-sighted heroism? That the time will
surely come, probably when they are needed the most, when the tension under
which they have lived will relax and utter collapse will follow' This history of
the heroic women whose experience has been Just this proves this state
ment. IVrhaps the silent sufferer will steal away quietly and consult a
physician; she may keep her medicine hidden-she may be milking quiet effort
to keel) herself braced up to her duty, but If she Is suffering from somo fe
male trouble she will not get help in this wny; the doctor to whom sho applies
may not understand her case.
The real help for such a woman Is in Lydla K. I'iukhain's Vegetable Com
pound. It has a famous record for curing distinctly feminine ills. Not only
this, but the woman fwho Is sick and doesn't want others to know it, because
she thinks they will' worry about her. can get perfectly safe nnd contldcutlal
advice by writing to Mis. l'lukhaui.
The trouble Is that the silent sufferer who has battled with her troubles so
long, and, as she thinks, so successfully, will not make this effort for herself.
She has been thinking of others all her lire and taught others to rely upon
her. She takes a llerce sort of satisfaction In using up her life in the service
of others, "but all the time she is going from bad to worse. A full conception
of her duty would show this woman that after she had sacrltlccd herself sho
will leave her work Incomplete. Sho has taught others to lean upon her until
they cannot stand alone, and what will become of them If her health Is ne
glected"; Is there no one who will speak to her tho convincing word nnd make
her understand that sho can get tho health ami strength sho so much needs
from Mrs. I'lnkham's medicine; It has done so much for other hard working,
earnest women, and 1,1 can do the same for her.
Wo cannot afford to lose such women, we need them among us. We need
their heroic example or self sacrllice, and wo need them not broken lu health,
but strong and well. Wo need tholr example of forlltddo, and wo urge them to
tako the. stop lu time which will preserve IliJjlr health and lengthen their lives
of usefulness.
