Sashes and Unit Itlbbonn.
sasnes ana riair ribbons are
bought from the same bolt of ribbon
since all fashionable ribbons are of
soft chiffon texture, and the hair bow
must be of ample proportions to be
smart. Plain or "warp print" rib
bons that can be had with any flow
er or in any color desired, are equally
fashionable. Some ot tho prettiest
frocks seen recently had sashes or
beltings of velvet ribbon, black or
brown, run through embroidered
beading about four and a half
inches in width; tha velvet ribbon
finishing in double cravat bows with
out snda at the center back.
Roots to Match.
Undoubtedly the smartest boot for
f.no wear matches the costume. For
a plum-colored or navy-blue costumo
in broadcloth the ideal boot lr made
of finest leather .(patent, shiny or
mat, as one prefers), with the tops
to match. Whatever the color worn,
this holds good, and it isr good style
with gray or white. Cheaper, yet
smart, are gaiters to match the
dress. White ones are affected with
black velvet dresses, whilo mode and
gray are generally worn. It is smart
est to have them match the dress, ex-
1 cept the light ones are worn In har
monious contrast.
A New Lace.
motion Dram commingled witn a
coarse type of soutache goes to the
fashioning of the newest lace, which
Is known as Irish cord point. Elab
orate hand stitchery fills In the In
tervening spaces, and in the form of
complete robes, trimmings and
blouses It Is certain to be largely in
demand. It harmonizes beautifully
with linen frocks. Motifs of white
cotton braid, chiefly In the form of
marguerites with solid crochet cen
tres, adorn many of the lace boleros
and blouses which are being pre
pared for wearing with corselet
tkirts.
Value of a Correct Walk.
A woman who leads a very active
life has a theory that the preserva
tion of a good figure depends to some
extent on the manner of walking,
Many people, she Bays, as tbey ad-
I vance In years allow themselves to
I walk heavily and without elasticity,
1 so that the whole weight rests on the
I lower part of tho limbs at every step,
1 the only effect of exercise being wear-
! iness of the legs and feet. Instead
of this the body should be held erect
and poised so as to have a perfect
balance; in this way the muscles are
braced and strengthened throughout,
the lungs must of necessity be well
expanded.
About Now Braids.
Quantities of braid are used on all
the dresses this season, and cos
tumes of deep purple cloth, fash
ioned with cape boleros and adorned
with black and silver or black and
gold Russian braid, will represent
another very Important feature of
spring wear. Smart black and white
checked cloth costumes, which are
equally popular, are trimmed with
guards' red cloth and broad black
silk fancy braid. A notioeable point
about the new trimmings Is that the
wide plain braids are usually over
laid with narrow braid with a thread
of gold or sliver running through it,
this being maneuvered into circular
motifs or Into a variety of different
designs.
Floating Summer Veil.
About three yards of material are
required and tbe colors are a pale
cream, a soft gray, a light pink, a
pastel blue of some one of the lighter
shades of green. The color rhould,
In all cases, be light and should har
monize with the gown if It does not
closely match it, Tha material . had
best be chiffon, which is, after all,
the most desirable of materials. The
veil now covers the ears closely and
shuts out one's sight and it, conse
quently, requires some pinning. With
two small pins it must be gathered
back a little at the sides and secured
so that It does not obscure one's vis
ion. It holds on tbe hat well, but
does not cover the cars quite as
tightly, nor does It obstruct one's vis'
Ion as it did before. This is one ot
the neatest and prettiest of ways ot
wearing the new automobile or wind
veil. It holds the hat on forever, In
the teeth of any gale, and It gives a
woman, consequently, that dash she
needs.
Too Many Good Looking Girls.
In their efforts to discover the rea
sons for the declining marriage rate
some ot the seekers after truth find
certain explanations which sound
very strange. The latest Idea on tbe
subject 1b that there are too many
good looking girls. Young men did
not always have the same selection
as they have In our day. There were,
of course, pretty and beautiful girls
In all ages, but they were fewer than
at present. Athletic 'exercises and
Intelligent care of the body, assisted
by higher education, have evolved a
race of girls which Is, as a race, tar
superior to the generation to which
our grandmothers belonged. "What
splendtd girls one sees everywhere!"
is a common cry nowadays. Well,
having such a feast of prettiness, so
to speak, the young men have grown
exacting and want still, more. They
are constantly on the watch for
something better still, and so they
'V
wait, and wait, till they either be
come confirmed bachelors, or reach
middle age and marry a young wom
an for other charms than beauty!
That does not mean that beauty
never gets a chance of marriage. Not
at all! Yet It results In a decreased
number of marriages. In addition to
tho fact that some men bDco.'.in bach
elors, there is the parallol fact that
the young women who have had to
wait often decide to remain single
and retire, for all practical purposes,
from the field. They would have
been prepared to marry In the earlier
years, but they are standing oft In
their mature days, Just as the young
men did In their twenties, says Home
Notes. This is a curious theory, but
we do not venture to say that it '.3
entirely without foundation.
Shopping I'Hiqm-lte for Wo:uon.
Etiquette among women seems to
bo forgotten when they en'cr the
shopping district. How many women
engaged in the life and death strug
gle of gaining a $2 shirtwaist for
$1.9S remember their ladyhood when
their best, friend holds a waist which
they covet? 'Were it not better a
thousand times that a third woninn
should bear off the uncertain prize!
than that friends should come to
grief in a primitive fight for posses
sion? However, primitive as it moy
be to struggle over bargain counters,
it Is also a waste of energy, and tho
woman who has cvoluted furthest
obtains what sho wants in a subtler
fashion. She sees that there Is Just
one wniBt which sho wunts In that
sale, and that it is in the hand of her
neighbor. Does she snatch it from
her? No; she selects an inferior one
next to it, stndies It absorbingly, in
Cuires the price, and seems about to
purchase. Such is the psychology ot
woman that the neighbor drops the
one waist to observe the other, and
she nor any one else is the wiser
when the former is borne away , in
triumph. Is it trickery, then, that
is coming In vogue? Well, even so.
it Is better than pitched battlss, and
the modern woman who thinks finds
that courtesy pays. Shopping is
woman's fetich, but let her elevate
the worship with consideration, and
remember that saleswomen are not
automatons, wound up in the morn
ing warranted to run all day. They
are the shopper's best friends or
dearest foes. The les3 she takes o
their time and endurance the pleas
anter will be her shopping excursion.
Here are a few hints which will help
every woman better to appvectate
these much-tired sisters:
When you are Just "looking" do
not disturb the clerks. You can get
all the Information you require by
keeping your eyes open as you walk
through the shops.
Never start to buy an article until
you have money in your purse or In
the bank. It Is a keen disappoint
ment to a clerk to work up a sale and
then have It spoiled by the customer
suddenly remembering that she can
not buy "to-day."
Then again, do not be sharp or dis
agreeable if the clerk is indifferent.
She has become accustomed to shop
pers who are gleaning ideas by which
to make their summer wardrobes at
home. She doubtlees pieces you in
this class, bo that it will pay you to
tell her at the start that you are
ready to buy In case you can find Just
what you want. Washington Times.
Even the bathing suits are hand-
embroidered this season, usually in
large, striking designs with coarsa
cottons.
The latest in veils is the "flirta
tion," three yards long, made ot
washable chiffon and wondrously
hand-painted on the ends.
One of the advantages of the
corselet skirt is that when the Jacket
is removed it Is far more complete
than the usual skirt and blouse.
Small dainty clusters of lilies and
moss roses are selling well. Many
other combinations are shown, but
these two are about the best.
If designs not too large ere chosen
one can make very pretty collar-nnd-
cuff sets with the shadow embroidery
on fine lawn. Use plenty of lace to
soften.
Long scarfs of wido gauze printed I
with lurge floral designs are shown
for the neck, but it in doubtful if they ,
will be used in any Quantity for that I
purpose. 1
Wide gauze motal ribbons in both
silver and gold are shown, both in
plain effects and with printed floral
designs and a few are exhibited with
small broche spots.
This rage (ur the monochrome in
dress has brought out Innumerable
new tints and shades for every color,
and made permissible the use of al
most as many different materials in 1
combination.
Pansles are In favor and are l
shown In all the natural colors from
pale mauve to deep purple. Pastille I
colors In violets, cowslips, hyacinths, I
forget-me-nots, anemones, acacias
and lilacs are all good.
Foliage of all descriptions Is in
good demand, but the most flavored ,
has a slight frosting In pastille tones
to blend with the colors of the flow
ers with which It Is used. I
Some of the most fetching crea
tions are those in which silk, velvet,
cloth, ribbon and perhaps even chif
fon, lace and mousselloe in different
shades are blended carefully. But
there Is the point. They must be
cleverly blended, else a crazy-qullt
effect Is produced, and for that rea
son tbe home dressmaker should
wisely select soma other styla upon
wnicn 10 try her prowess.

DEATH IX D.IRHER'S CHAIR.
Only forty city barbers in London have
certificates of cleanliness. It is optional
with them to take out license. This
proves that the average Londoner doesn't
care much about the birbcr shop lie
visits. Testimony in a colonel's court in
Ka-t London last week brought out that
in 1005 only twenty-one city barbers had
certificates, and that the number was in
creased to forty last May. The incmcst
was on a man who died of blood poisun
ing afer a barber had cut bis chin. A
Bellcvue Hospital physician tells me that
at least ten men a year die in New York

BLOATED WITH DKOl'SY.
The Honi-t Was Badly Affected When
the Patient Uegnii I'slng
Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415
West Fourth St., Olympla, Wash.,
says; "For over
three years I
suffered with a
dropsical condi
tion without be
ing aware that
It was due to
kidney trouble.
Theearly stages
were principal
ly backache and
bearing down
pain, but I went
along without worrying much until
dropsy set In. My feet and ankles
awelled p, my hands puffed and be
came so tense I could hardly close
them. I had great difficulty in
breathing, and my heart would flut
ter with the least exertion. I could
not walk far without stopping again
nnd again to rest. Since using four
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the
bloating has gone down and tbe feel
ings of distress have disappeared."

and attention to detail characteristic
of the firm In nil its undertakings.
As the new building Is said to be the
most complete and convenient of niiy
ever built for a commercial house iu
tbe United Htutes, so were the expres
sions of appreciation by the many per
sons who visited It for Inspection sin
cere and of a highly congratulatory
nttture. -
T,lie dedicatory program included
open house from 11 a. 111. to 8 p. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches
tra and the presence of a Boston
caterer to attend to tbe wishes of nil.

He digs into that, makes money, grows

Sho Was Told Tbst an Operation Waa
Inevitable How 8h Eeoapsd It.
When a physician tells a woman suf
fering1 with serious feminine trouble
that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of tvomen coming
for just such operations.
There are cases where an operation
Is the only resource, but when one Con
siders the prent number of cases of
menacing female troubles cured by
Lydia E. PinUham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first, trying the Vppetable
Compound nnd writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free.
Miss Marprrt Merkle.y. of 27S Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
Doar Mrs. Pltikhnm:
Loss of strength, extreme ii''rvoimnns,
shooting pains through the ;olvir niymui.
bearing down pains nnd cramps coii-.h-IIih1
me t seek medical advice. The dnctnr. after
making an examination, said I bed n femaln
trouble and ulceration and advised an opera
tion. To this I strongly objected and decided
to try Lvdia E. Pinkham a Vegetable Com
pound. Tbe ulceration quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared nnd I am
once more strong, vigorous and well."
Female troubles are steadily on tho
increase among women. If the- month
ly periods are very painful, or too fre
quent and excessive if yon have pain
or swelling low down in tbe left side,
bearing-down pains, don't neglect; your
self: try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.

The bork agent was showing the oM
farmer one of the ".six best sellers."
"A wonderful book," said the agent,
as he turned to the first chapter, "Jttt
listen to this plot: 'There's an ominous
cloud on the sire's brow when he sees
the lightning fl.-.sh in the determine 1
eyes of his beautiful daughter.'"
"Great shoats!" ejaculated the old fai
nter, his jaw dropping.
"Then comes the shower of tears. "Bur
liark ! The hero is thundering'"
The old farmer jumped down 110 i
the fence and held up his hand.
"One minute, niiMer." be drawled.
