What H. C. Kennedy Wants Every
Feraon in Harrisburg to Do
When H. C. Kennedy, tho enterpris
ing druggist. first offered a 50-cwt
package of Dr. Howard's specific for
the cure of constijiation and dyspepsia
at half price, and guaranteed to return
the money if it did not eure. he thought
it probable from his experience with
other medicines for these diseases that
he would have a good many packages
returned. But although he hns sold
hundreds of bottles, not one has been
brought back.
To those suffering with dizziness,
headache, poor digestion, constipation
and straining. Dr. Howard's specific
offers quick relief. It is an invaluable
boon to all who feel uncomfortable
after eating, and is to-day the popular
dinner pill in all the large cities.—

THE ART OF DINING
Many Feople Indulge in the Joys of
the Epicure at Small
Expense
Some people enioy all the delicacies
of the season, and some don't. Some
pay fancy prices and some do not. The
jirice don't depend so much on what you
eat as it does on where you eat it.
The same article, cooked in the same
wav. will vary widely in eost at differ
ent restaurants. So after all it's a
simple matter to live well at a moderate
expense. It's merely a matter of se
lecting the right cafe or restaurant.
"When it comes to Harrisburg the selec
tion is easy. The Manhattan solves
the problem! Here is a restaurant con
ducted on an extensive scale, offering
a bill of tare that will compare fa
vorably with others charging two or
three times as much for the samee
cuisine. That is not all—there s hardly
a good thing to eat that is not on the
bill of fare. Ask for what von want
and you get a liberal portion and it is
cooked and served .inst as you like it.
It not only looks and tastes good—it is
good. In the first place the quality is
good—and it ha« lieen prepared and
cooked by chefs who are experts in
their line. The kitchen is supplied with
every modem convenience and is kept
in a clean and sanitary condition. A
clean kitchen adds just as much to the
relish of a meal as a clean tablecloth—
yon get both at the Manhattan. The
meats are all government inspected, the
sea foot! is abundant and high grade,
and the vegetables and other viands are
selected and choice. There is a printed
menu for breakfast, dinner anil sup
per and there is so much on each one
that it would burden your patience to
print the lists and yet with all this ex
cellent service you can dine at the Man
fcattan for as little as three dollars and
lip per week. You can lunch from a
few cents up to any amount you cart
to pay.
The public can get an idea of the
things good to cat at the Manhattan by
watching the show window, which is
tastefully changed every day.—Adv.

early homejfoaiig. They didn't get
: what they expected, thanks, once more
• to Mr. Smith.
; In response to iuvitations issued by
; Commissioner Smith, whose fame as a
host is considerable, about forty of thi»
men who guide the destinies of the city
gathered Wednesday evening at the
! Kit/.-Carlton for dinner, in the ball
: room. They met as men do who look
j forward to a quiet though interesting
evening, with no ladies present. They
: had cocktails, chatted awtiil© apd then
' riled into the ball room,
i About the octagonal l*Me in the
| centre of the room were a .tout forty
beautifully gowned women. As each
man entered thorp was a loud exclnma
tion—<rf dolight. Then there were
more exclamations—sonic of very d?ep
surprise. .Most of them founded about
the same, only the inflection being dif
ferent:
"My wife!"
It then appeared that Mr. Smith had
! forgotten (f) to tell the city official.-,
that their wives also were to be guests.
So it was that Mayor Mitchel found
Mrs. Mitchel there, though she had told
him she was going to a theatre.
George McAneny found Mrs. Mc-
Aneny there. Uiouniii h( had been quite
sure she would spend a quiet evening
at home. Thus it was that Ma.irice
Connolly found Airs. Connolly there. (
though he thought her in Queens conn

The dinner was a beautifully ar

w»s surmounted with a bank of spring

IOF INTEREST
I TO WOMEN
A FORECAST OF SPRIRC
AND SUMMER FABRICS
Waists Are Made Severely Plain,
Wblle Skirts Are Full and
Flaring Belts and Peasant's
Basques
Xew York. Feb. 26.
The Spring has a variety of styles
which run the gamut of those we have
had. only in new forms, and those in
spired bv Russia, France, Belgium and
Holland.'
The full skirt, however, is without
doubt, first in style, whether inspired
by peasant skirts or Victorian crinoline.
It may be cut circular, gored with as
many gores as nine, straight pleated or
gathered, the requirement being that it
fin res at the bottom.
The Dutch costumes are particularly
suited to the young girl. They often
have a broad strap over the shoulders,
with a blouse buttoning straight down
the center front. The skirt is full, with
a slight bulging at the hips. Sometimes
these dresses are topped with a short
Dutch jacket. White or Delft blue are
favored colors for this style of dress.
Bolero effects are to be seen in waists
as well as in jackets and will, no doubt,
be particularly smart for summer
dresses. Linen, pique and poplin being
materials which will make up into
stunning little suits with a coat on this
style.
Severity seems to be the strong uote
for waists, but they must have particu
lar style, which is, of course, hard to
attain, although it lies greatly in the
placing of the trimming. Buttons are
all that is considered correct on many
of them.
The Illustration shows a dress with
a plain but smartlv cut waist buttoning
up the front with cloth-covered but
tons. The side pieces of the waist con
tinue on the skirt and form a side
yoke. The completed costume has an
unusual style and charm which is ac
centuated by tan prunella cloth in which
it is made.
An extremely cunning little hat is
worn with this dross, shotvinp a sailor
shape with a rather high crown narrow
inn slightly at the top. It is made in
sand-colored taffeta ami trimmed with
ft single baud of chocolatc-colorod vel
bej ribbon, ending in short streamers in
the back. It has very good style ami
in conservative gocd taste, a quality
which American women demand before
all others.
The second illustration shows a dress
with the ever-fashionable surplice clos
ing waist. The s'-drt is gored with the
stylish flare at the lower edge and the
waist is cut slightly short. The braid
ing en the waist and skirt is done with
the round silk braid, which is having a
vogue even stronger than the soutache
braid.
The separate blouse is made on the
same severe lines of the bodices of
frocks. ! he.v are made of crepe de
( hine arti voile end chiffon cloth over
a thii* -ilk lining. Small cloth-covered

derful standby, ia one of the first sell
ers, together with gabardine. Cheviot
is the novelty, and a very practical one.
Checks in black and white are shown ;
in a variety of materials, also dark blue
and white. A very fine invisible check
is considered very smart, it comes in
many smooth fabrics, like prunella and
novelty chiffon broadcloths or lady's
cloth.
Of the heavier cotton fabrics, a cot
ton gabardine stands among the first
sellers. This fabric has a high lustri
and is very effective. Materials with a
corded effect are used fdmo»t more' than
anything else for dresses of either
heavy or sheer weight. The lightor
weight first introduced by French and
English manufacturers is called "fllete."
And, hence, any fabric with a corded
weave, such as voile or crepe are said
to have a fllete finish. Voile is the most
fashionable of the cotton fabrics, be
cause of its softness and its durability.
Dotted Swiss and marquisette are two
other materials which rank very close
in popularity to voile. Net in black
over white satin or taffeta as well as
white and colored nets are very smart
for elaborate frocks. Pink and blue
nets make delightful evening frocks
and are trimmed with jet.
Tho styles of the summer dresses
make it a certainty that embroidery
and laee flouncing will be used a great
deal in their development. The embroid
ery flouncings have a background of
voile and crepe as well as very sheer
lawn and batiste. Organdy, too) is em
broidered and makes a light and airy
flouncing for summer dresses.
The Belgian lace centers are produc
ing uo lace and the French very little,
so most of the imported lace" comes
from Plauen or St. Gall. Chantilly,
Spanish and Lire laee-are among the
more expensive ones, while shadow lace
may be had in a wide variety of de
signs and prices, and its light and deli
cate designs make exquisite frocks for
evening wear.
Belts and girdles are forming an im
portant feature on the gowns of to-day.
.Some are plain, and of the fabric of
the dress it is worn with, others are
of contrasting material and embroidered
richly. Some of the girdles are ex
tended in to what seems like peasant's
basques, or wide girdles, lacing up tho
back or front, nnd pointed or rounding,
made of contrasting silk or of velvet.
Ribbons, especially of velvet, are
having a strong vogue, as they seem to
belong to the crinoline period from
which so many spring dresses are de
signed.
The hats of the year continue to
he mostly small, although a few largo
ones are to be seen, and very smart
they are, too. This vogue for small
hats has made the veils extremely popu
lar, and they are shown in numerous
styles. The wide floating veil which
comes almost, if not quite, to the
shoulders is very becoming and popu
lar. These are in different meshes,
plain and dotted and usually have
either a bias told on the edge or a nar
row piece of ribbon stitched on.
