You can now get the relief and help that mustard plasters gave, without the plaster and without the blister. MUSTKROLE does it. It is a clean, white ointment, made with oil of mus tard. It is scientifically prepared, so that it works wonders, and yet does not blister the tenderest skin. Just massage MUSTEROLE in with the finger-tips gently.

EARS ARE HI STYLE ARAIR — LIFT UP YOUR HAIR The new style of lifting the hair from the ears looks much nicer if the hair is soft so it drapes around the cars rather than being pulled up in straight, hard lines. To get the best effect in any style of hairdressing, every strand must be fluffy, lustrous and, of course, clean. In washing the hair it is not advisable to use a make shift, but always use a preparation made for shampooing only. You can enjoy the best that is known for about three cents a shampoo by getting a package of canthrox from your drug gist; dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water and your shampoo is ready. After its use the hair dries rapidly, with uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely ' disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its lustre and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth.—Adv. News of Persons Who Come and Go Mrs. Henry C.

OF INTEREST ' TO WOMEN VOILE A FAVORED ' SPRING FABRIC I Trimmings of Worsted Embroidory on Tulle and Chiffon Black Very Popular New York, March 8. The last month has proven that Paris is not napping. The couturieres have supplied fashions for the waiting Amer icans despite depressed conditions, and their openings have been almost as gay as ever. I say almost, for one cannot get over the atmosphere of grief which enters the place when one sees the sup pressed sorrow on the face of a sales woman or model. The mannequins themselves are not less gay, but it is often a forced gaiety. The gowns show less change than heretofore, but what they lack in va riety they make up in artistry. The couturiers have had no heart for the ! bizarre, and therefore have improved I upon what they have had. The Franco-Prussian war closed a j period noted for its extravagance in 1 dress, and following was a time of se verity and plainness which was felt over the entire civilized world. To-day ] has seen another period of extrava i gance closed by a world-wide war, and jwe are now entering upon another i period which bids fair to be one of nat I uralness and simplicity, and a turning from the Orientalism, which brought in the lampshade tunics and the Turkish styles of a few seasons back. The Paris openings show that voile, wool, silk, or cotton is used a great deal in the development of the new gowns. There are separate waists also made of it, usually in sand or putty colors.

Directioai of Value Especially to Women with Every Bex. suit the khaki and field cloth suits i which are the rage of early Spring. | , Simplicity is the mode in these I waists, which button primly down the front and are sometimes tucked singly or in clusters. High collars, soft, and < boned only at the sides, are very popu- i lar. These collars should not tit the , neck tightly, but wrinkle loosely over ( Ml I : A /W § I y Checked and Plain Voile Combine in i This Frock the bones. If at all tight, they have ! lost their style. '. The waists of thin fabrics are by far smarter than those made of heavier ■ fabrics. Chiffon and a voile which is | warranted indestructible and looks more | like chiffon than voile, but with the lat- : ter's durability, is used a great deal for ! these waists, even of the simplest and , plainest styles. Beneath these waists are worn corset . covers of plain white, flesh-colored, or pink taffeta scalloped at the top and i buttoned down the front. Biege and j sand-colored taffeta is also used, to be worn under white chiffon or voile In my illustration is shown a dress of tan voile. The bolero effect in the waist is made of an irregular checked I voile in dull shades of red, yellow and brown. The full skirt is untrimmed. Vqile and other fabrics are being ! sold with borders in contrasting colors, i This helps in the trimming scheme, as it | usually needs nothing else to make the dress complete. A serviceable dress on trim new lines is shown in my second illustration. The The Trimly Tailored Effect Is the Feature of This Frock side-closing of the waist, corresponding with the side-closing ot' the skirt, is both neat and attractive. A high collar with a turnover of white shows the latest whim in collars. Notice the sim | pie belt of the same cloth, even to the cloth-covered buckle. One of tbe odd and quaint novelties in evenirig frocks is made with flounctfa of white tulle edged with pink worsted embroidery. It is unusual, to say the least, and very effective. This worsted embroidery is used on chiffon, net, silk and voile. Silk frocks have embroid ered flowers at the waist, on the end of sashes, as a border to a hem. A blue frock which I have recently seen had a fringe around the bottom of yellow and-blue crewel fringe. In Kurope mourning reigns; it is sel dom that one goes upcfli the street in Paris, or London, or Berlin without passing more people in black, or black and white, than in any other color. This, of course, causes black and white to be favored here. The new silks show stripes of black and of white, with a white flower thrown in relief against the stripes. Black suits are made with Vests of wide-strinedl silk. Checks and stripes play a large part in the trimming of many of the Spring gowns. A stunning suit which I saw not long ago of blue voile was made entirely over a blue-and-white cheek [ silk, the checks being almost an inch I square. A frock of black chiffon was made over a flounced underskirt which had each ruffle finished with a band of striped black-and-white silk an inch and a half deep, the stripes running up and down. Children's frocks change much less in comparison with the styles of their elders, but this Spring finds the short waisted frocks much more popular than the long-waisted ones, although the lat ter have not become passe by any man ner of means. The short-waisted frocks are very becoming to the small child and to the petite girl, but for the tall, or very plump child the long-waisted models are much more becoming The Dutch styles are very much the vogue for the small girl. Theso have plain, but full skirts, usually of one color and blouses of white, verv short; the skirts are usually fastened to the waists with large buttons. These have been called the "Florence Dombey" dresses —probably because some enter prising wholesaler wanted to get a Dickens' name for a small girl to cor respond with the boy's "Oliver Twißt" suit.
