Shortly afterwards she had a bad bilious attack and for this she used Diamond Din ner Pills and was completely cured in a snort time. In January, 1903, she had an attack of Sciatica of which she tays: "I was almost helpless with the Sciatica, but remembering what Dodd's Kidnej' Pills and Diamond Dinner Bills had done tor me before, 1 commenced a treatment of these medicines and in three weeks 1 was completely restored to health. I have treat faith in these medicines for they have Leen of so much benefit to me."

We are not going to attempt to explain just how all the dainty cos tumes pictured by the artist may be made, for there is no need of explana tion, the pictures tell their own story. It is safe to say that from those pic tured may be found some which will be so far above the average as to stamp the wearer as a girl of originality and Gossip of the Winter FasKions ' JH * HIS summer saw the lace t co " ar - that was so very | wide we had to call it a cape. Too universal, it ' seemed everywhere, and its original use altogether too ! 3 popular to be desirable. But j there were other possibilities awaiting the lace cape. 1 saw yesterday a lovely evening coat of pale blue cloth, of which the entire top was formed by a lace cape, the lace, needless to say, dyed the precise pale blue of the cloth. Here is a tip, thought I, for some one with a lace tippet. She can give it to her dressmaker, and instruct her how to contrive with it and some creamy white cloth a most delectable coat. It must be explained that the lace top must be lined with a layer or two of chiffon, under which there should be a warm woollen '.ate."lining, and then, of course, the satin that iines the whole coat. There is, on the whole, no more popular idea than the cream cloth coat, especially for theaters.

It knew it was indlspensa- j ble all the time; and whereas once it was just the black or the silver sequin, we now have the saucy thing in every color of the rainbow and in all sorts of substances. The robe cannot exist with out sequin, and the world of women cannot exist without the robe. The robe has been woman's best solace for the dilatory sins of the dressmaker. With a robe and a maid of average abilities a frock may be called up as if by the wand of a fairy godmother, and no unsophisticated simplicity of a hasty pudding recipe would this be, but something filmy and sparkling and be coming. The eternally useful black frock, for example, is almost always fashioned from the sequinned robe. I saw recently an altogether good black ! sequinned robe, in which the embroi- j deries enclosed appliques of black i Chantilly lace, whilst the bodice pieces were delightfully complete and ample and a frock could be fitted to slip ; on over a black foundation or a white foundation, or over a foundation of | CAMKRON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1903.

A chic whim across the "silver | streak" consists in elaborately brald ing coats with braids of the same color | as the cloth; this identical braiding is : fascinating, and looks so well with fur facings. The short sac coat of a mole colored cloth costume I have seen was ] much braided over with identical braids and faced back with musquash moleskin, the relieving note being found in a waistcoat of scarlet velvet studded with tiny gold buttons. There is infinite charm in this effect of vivid color, gilt studded and just almost out of sight, as it were, or, as one might say, overshadowed, as was this, with I furry fronts.. The note of gold that a year of two | back invaded everything is getting rampant again, and when it reappears in such attractive whims as bullion ; embroideries, or tiny gilt buttons, or i the galons that border toques and en rich coats, we can but give it a smiling welcome. A tailory toque of fluffy cloth (matching one's tailor costume or the blouse therewith worn) border ed with gold galon, and finished with a cockade of the same, is the nicest no tion of the moment for morning wear, and the universal whim just now in I Paris. Such a hat of emerald-green j fluffy cloth with a knitted waistcoat of emerald green looked awfully nice the other day with a black coal ami skirt of severe build. The severe build of tailoring is going to reassert itself, so all the tailory authorities declare, and | these cheery, vivid red and green and j pink, and blue and white knitted waist j coats seemed to have just, timed them selves to the event. If we once again exploit the severe tailor-made, we shall have something better than ever be ! fore, something with such a | cheery waistcoat, and fitting immacu j lately, and fashioned of most pleasing j cloths and tweeds. We shall supplant I with a perfect mould the fascinations j of the picturesque tailoring, and who j shall say the perfct mould is not as I becoming as the picturesque —at least, I where that which is within be shapely | or can be rendered shapely? But I can never see why we should be either only severe or only pictur esque; why cannot the two styles co exist, fulfilling their separate ends—the elegantly severe tailor-made for cer tain uses and the elegantly picturesque frock for social occasions. A frock of velours mousseline that I saw the other day that had a lace pelerine bodice ; pleaded most eloquently the cause of the picturesque; indeed, so persuasive are these picturesque costumes, I can not. sea how we are going to part with them for the gowns of stiffened and ag gressive richness that formerly co-ex isted with the plain tailor-made. We cherish hopes that Fashion will make a new departure, persuading these two extremes to dwell together to the end, | that we may enjoy both. But about j that picturesque frocw with the lace ! pelerine. What a nice notion it was! So suggestive a pelerine like thr-t might be fitted over any last season's frock, and the lace might be either exactly the color of the material or else the j ordinary cream or twine tones. ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDORSES PE-RU-NA. Pe=ru=na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen: "I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe=ru=na and I believe with good effect W. S. SCHLEY. Washington, D. C. ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slight est hesitation he gave this remedy his en dorsement. It appeared on later conversa tion that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is.

The natural timidity which niciiiy people have felt about giving en dorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been will ing to give unqualified and public endorse ments to a proprietary remedy.
