possible models both for light wool

Two Stylish Garments.
No outer garment is more popular
than the blouse with Eton effect. The
fashionable May Manton model shown
In the large drawing is suitable alike
to the entire costume and to the sep
arate wrap. The original is made of
Russian blue broadcloth, with l'aciugs
of white stitched with black, under-
Bleeves of white Liberty satin, cuffs
and collar of velvet. As illustrated it

buttons, but can be rolled open to the
Waist when the weather permits.
The fronts tire smooth across the
shoulders, but drawn down in gathers
at the waist line, wuere they pouch
slightly over the belt, which Is applied
by stitching to the lower edge. The
back Is snug-fitting and is joined to
the fronts by smooth under arm gores.
At the neck is the military or Kaiser
collar that can be worn open or closed,
us desired. The sleeves are turned
back to form cuffs, bcueath which th»
puffed under portions of satin, with
wristbands of velvet, are jolued to a
fitted lining that can be used as u plain
coat sleeve.

The low, round neck with fiat collar

gularly effective. The very chui'uilug

attached permanently to the right sidq
and hooked over onto the left. Th«
fancy sleeves are made over a smooth
lining. The undersleeves are gathered
top and bottom and attached to the
lining at edge. The lace cuffs
are faced over the lower portion, and

wide, or one and seven-eighth yards
forty-four inches wide, will be re*
quired, with one yard of all-over laco
and three-quarter yard of mousselins
to make as illustrated.
Straps Arc Smart.
A favorite mode of smartening a
cloth costume is to trim the or a
seam across the chest with a series ot
buttons nnd straps. This is not the
somewhat passe mode of strapping
across an open blouse or a lace front,
but occurs where the jacket is double
breasted, and the little straps are set
on beneath the hemmed edge. They all
have one worked button hole, which
fastens over a button placed in the
blouse. Only an ineh-and-a-.half of the
strap is permitted to show. (Vhere the
straps are properly set ou they resem
ble the rungs of a ladder, which lacks
one upright on the button side.
Satin Plaided Handkerchief.
The new fine nmbric handkerchiefs
for ladies' use are rather more expen
sive than some older fashioned speci
mens, consequently, they are sold by
threes or l>y fours instead of by the
dozen or half dozen. Quite the latest
fashion in monchoirs is the cambric or
lawn which shows a surface cut up in-
tcTblocksTor chequered by satin-plaid
ed lines which cross anil recross the
handkerchief.
The Shoulder C'liou.
The chou, or cabbage-like rosette of
velvet or satin ribbon or loops of soft
silk, has appeared In a fresh direction.
It ornaments the left side of the bodice
worn by the slender maiden. Some
times the chou has two short ends of
ribbon or silk, each terminating in one
gilt spike. Only a thin figure can
bear this ornament successfully. The
plump sister is positively disfigured by
the rotund little chou of fancy velvet.
It cau be worn on or near the shoulder.
Oval liots.
A modish veil now popular has an
oval-shape figure iu chenille on a tulle
ground. You can have black chenille
oval figures on a white ground or vice
versa, as you prefer. The manufac
turer also provides us with self-col
ored chenille dots on white or black
tulle veils. A grayish effect Is pro
duced by placing dots of black very
close together on a white ground. You
can have oval figures, large or small.
Skirt, AV It It Circular rirattd Kloiinre.
Kvery indication points to continued,
and even augmented, favor for the
shaped circular flounce. The latest im
portations show many variations, but
iione more graceful or elegant thau
the May Mauton model Illustrated. The
plain front gore does away with tho
one objection to Vhleh flounces are
open, that of curtailing the height.
The skirt Is cut in Ave gores and fits
with perfect smoothness at the upper
portlou, the fulucss at the back being
laid In an Inverted pleat.

about how two prospectors had saltct

The prospectors had spent their las*

They hadn't sufficient money to bu;
some paying dirt, but they stole thii

sent for.and while one was talkini
about the increasing value of the 'lis

kinds of lead and zinc ore before thei:
astonished eyes. The widows bough
a half interest in that hole in thi
ground for SISOO. The next day then
was no more ore in the shaft and thi

Slnbnd's experience with the mag

strange magnetic properties. On the

island a compass is abijliitely use

New Safety Matches*.
A German named Priester has In

satety matches, which has great ad
vantages over the material now in use.
Its base is sulphide of zinc, which is
obtained by the melting of oxide of
zinc with sulphur. The employment,
of sulphide of zinc does away with the
necessity of using the chromate,
which was formerly held indispensa
ble, and which has the great disadvan
tage of being exceedingly poisonous.
The new preparation lias the further
advantage of igniting very readily on
the prepared surface, and does not
crumble away so easily as a prepara
tion containing other sulphides.

CAPTAIN OF FIRE DEPT.
Capt. H. H. Thomson Advises the Use
of Dr. Greene's Nervura.
This Wonderful Body Builder end Strength Re
storer Should Be Used Now.
CAPT. H. H. THOMSON OF MINNEAPOLIS FIRE DEPT.
No occupation in the world requires more perfect nerve force and physical
strength than is demanded of its members by a modern fire department.
' he members of this branch of the public service must be ready at all hours
of the day or night, and in all degrees of heat, cold or exposure, to answer
the call of the public, and protect life and property. At all times they must
have bodily strength and a clear brain. Without' this we would never hear
of the wonderful feats of bravery and rescue performed by them. Nothing in
the world will build up strength like Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. Captain Thomson's strong statement, which we publish herewith,
carries weight, and is echoed everywhere by tlior ho rely on Dr. GreeneV
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, when disease attacks them, or they get
run down in health • ;hich is so easy at this season o ' the year. There is no
medicine in the worl.l which will ward off attacks of the fatal grip, which is
now so prevalent, and there is nothing which will drive it away so quickly
or reinvigorate the body as well after the grip, as this famous remedy.
Captain Thomson, whose address is 2400 Lincoln St., North East, Minneapolis
Minn., says:
"I am a great believer in the wonderful curative powers of Dr.
Greene's Nervura Blood and Nerve Remedy. It has been used in my
house for years as a body builder, strength restorer and general
family medicine. It never fails to give beneficial results. It
strengthens the nerves and purifies the blood. As a health builder,
I believe there is no medicine equal to Dr. Greene's Nervura Blood
and Nerve Remedy."
Remember that Dr. Greene's Nervura Blood and Nerve Remedy is the pre
scription of a regular physician. Dr. Greene, who can be consulted absolutely
free of charge either by mail or calling at his office, 35 W. 14th St.. New York
City. Consultation is absolutely free of charge. If you cannot call upon him
at his office, write him a letter, telling all about your case, and you can be
treated just as well at home as if you called in person. Remember his advice
is absolutely free.
