STYLES IN NEW YORK.
Latest Ideas in Waists and
Blouses—New Veils and
Hats—Odd Coats For all
Occasions— The Ankle
Bracelet.
i The abo ~idesipn is dhy The Me"
ompany, New York, Designe:
fakers of McCall Patterns
New York, April 10.
Ankle bracelets have been written
up from Paris, but it is lately that
they have been seen on Fifth Avenue.
The skirt with slashes at the foot
that has been Somewhat worn all
winter is now very generally used
and with the foot and ankle so much
in evidence, elaborate footwear is
the rule. The’ ankle bracelet is of
metal in chain or in some flexible
form and is set with rhinestones or
other mock jewels to match the
buckles used on the low shoes.
Only the silly few who care to be
conspicious are liable to wear these
ornaments, it would seem, but the
ways of women are past finding out,
so it is not safe to prophecy how far
this fad may,extend.
NEW TOPS.
A decided preference is noticeable
for washable blouses this Spring.
The waist that matches the suit in
color is decidedly second in place
for day wear. Very plain models
with hemstitched frills are great fav
orites, and semi-tailor types as illus-.
trated, developed in cottons as bro-
caded crepes are reckoned especial-
ly smart. Now that belts are so loose-
ly worn there are few curves at the
waist, the break in color between
skirt and blouse is not bad as it
was. Still the over full figure looks
best where the color is continuous
from top to toe, though the mater-
ial of the waist is usually of ligetest
texture. Net oyer net is both fash-
ionable and practical for such
waists, as the white lace or net
foundation wears much longer than
a thin silk lining, and the net or
chiffon cloth veiling, to harmonize
with the snit in color, is especially
pretty over the transparent figured or
elaborately trimmed foundation. Bro-
caded silk crepe waists in Charmeuse
of white or cream continue
to be worn in the same class
with wash fabrics. In fact they
do wash as well as cottons if care-
fully done.
LONG SHOULDERS AND YOKES.
Longeshoulders and yokes are first
favorites as shown in cuts, while the
little touches of color contrast de-
manded on all garments this season
are given by buttons, tiny reverses,
turn over collars, vests and sashes.
These are often made of the bro-
caded ribbons now so faddish. Color
in Bulgarian ‘mixtures is introduced
on many of wash blouses in wash-
able trimmings, though many women
prefer the all white waist to which
they can add a variety of color touch-
es, in bows, pins, buckles, oi at
pleasure.
MATERIALS USED.
Never was there such variety of
materials for choice as now, when it
would seem the limit has been reach-
ed in pretty cotton: dress fabrics.
Those marked ‘‘Bontex’’ on ‘the sel-
vage are first favorites with clever
buyers who know that this mark
is never found on leftover goods,
but stands for the latest and most
approved styles of new cotton weaves
of all varieties and is a guarantee of
quality, so that colors don’t fade
and the materials wear as they should
so give satfsfaction.
EXTRA COATS.
Coat blouses of colored linen or
cotton with white skirts that some
times have the color repeated in
their trimmings, but are more often
in complete contrast, promise to ri-
| val the the yogue o. odd silk coats
colored skirt are espec-
stvle. The
gs
girls wear blouse coats wiih the
belt dropped low on the bias made |
on very baggy lines, with older
women are wearing half or three
quarted length draped. coats that are
equally voluminous in cut except
at the bottom where they hug the
figure closely. Moire ribbon, and
silks are decidedly smart.

THE OLD-TIME COWBOY.
Reminescenses of an Old-tlme Cow-
boy is the first title in the Sports
Afield for April, and the writer treats
of the real cowboy as many of us have
known him in dctual everyday life,
not of the stereotypedistage or mov-
ing picture conception—all hat and
‘chaps’ and six-shooter. When you
have read this first article you are
started on a trail which ends over on
the advertising pages, after affording
easy and pleasant going all the way.
Frederick Wortman has a long de-
scription of life and sport in the South-
land, but one does net realize its length
as he reads. The fact that this same
remark applies equally well to the
offerings of its other contributers, will
perhaps explain why Sports Afield
has attained its present prominence in
years and popularity. The School of
Sportsmanship, by 8. D. Barnes, is
another example of a long article that
is undeniably too short. It should be
read by all boys and their parents or
guardians. Some Snipe Notes and
Experiences will prove seasounable
reading, even in #*those states that
protect the Wilson snipe on his spring
flight, Rough Carting in Honduras
carries us to hunting grounds not so
well known to American sportsmen as
they deserve to be, and Old Crip of |
Tamaulipas calls attention to other
promising grounds equally unvisited,
although more readily accessible.
The Loghead Sea Turtle is a valuable
contribution to the literature of Nat-
ural Hist..»y, and there are a dozen
other articles of interest to the hunter
angler or sportsman-tourist, in addi-
tion to the usual offering of fiction by
well-kno'. n writers. Your newsdealer

DEAFAESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of thejear.
There is only one way to cure deaf-
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies.
‘infiamed condition of
this tube is inflamed youjhave a rum-
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf-
ness is the result and unless the in-
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for-
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing’ but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir-
culars, free.

versary of her birth. Mrs. Albright
received many beautiful and valuable
presents in honor of the event, and
then the dinner that was served, a
feast fit for the gods, the nectar and
the ambrosia of the Greeks paled into
insigniflcance, compared with this
symposium, and then the delight and
joy in che great family reunion, which
shall be remembered throughout life.
This family event will not be forgot-
ten by her'in whose honor it was held,
and will be remembered by all who
were present and participated in this
family" function. The following are
thenames of those who were present:
__ Mr. and Mrs. Ross Albright, Linken
Albright, wife and daughter; Mrs.
Ellen Kuhn and family, Mrs. George
