Here are two such letters: ' Mrs. Lizzik IIbverly, 858 Mcrrimao St., Lowell, Mass., writes: ' ' It affords me great pleasure to tell all suffering women of the benefit I have received from taking Lydia E.

I was al so troubled with falling of the womb. I could not eat, had faint spells as often as ten times a day. One day a lady came to see me and told me of the benefit she had derived from taking Lydia E. Hnkham's medicine, and ad vised me to try it.

Bretelles are one of the features of the new gowns, suit they are plain, scalloped, cut out in sqnnres, plaited or gathered, as yon like. They follow in regular order the sloping shoulder, which ninst be cultivated now, since they assist in producing tbe desired e fleet, rinln Kklrta Still Worn. Hkirts that are tacked, ruffled, flounced, braided or decked with meltings of lace or material are adrift over the world of fashion, yet the severely plain skirt is not out of style, but appears in graceful lines and with out any marked difference in its gen eral outlines; but, of course, it invites decoration, ns this is so essentially a trimming season. I'ntrnt l.rnthrr Fad, A new belt is of patent leather. The buckle and eyeholes are of brsss or silver gilt and very large. Hat bands of patent leather cume to match, and, of course, the purse must match also. Very swagger is the appearance of girl wearing the newest thing in pa tent leather, especially if her skirt and shirt waist are tlf white duck and lint of plain white straw. With such a costume tnn shoes must be discarded, and as patent leather draws the feet in warm wenther, the shoe must be black kid, heavily trimmed in patent leather, A Revival or the IMaln Hod Ice. Withont doubt we a-e started on the road to tight-fitting bodices once more, and the autumn will see street gowns m n do in this style, which is necessarily the proper accompaniment for the slienthlike skirt that now has a hold on woninn's fancy. Of course they will be trimmed, but the trim mings will be flat and more severe than have been seen for some seasons past. Many of the early summer street costumes were paraded in this style, which, after all, is more suit able for street and shopping weur. Woman's Home Companion. A Woman City Clerk. Mrs. Flora Hays, at Frankton.Ind., is the first woman in that state whose name has been officially placed upon an election ballot. She has been nomi nated by the Citizens pBrty of Frank ton for the office of city clerk, and this year the office heads the ticket. The campaign therefore will be fought out under her name. Mrs. Hays has also thehouorof being thefirst woman to hold a city office in Indiana. Two years ago her husband was elected city clerk, but shortly after his election he died. Hhe circulated a petition ask ing to be permitted to till his place. Hhe was qualified and proved to be as efficient an officer as the city has ever had. Mrs. Kays is 26 years old. Her knowledge of bnsiness is as thorough as that of any man who has ever held this office. New York Tribune. The Mutter of Height. If you are tall and slender how well yon look in thoso 15 flounced skirt, each one edged with the narrowest of black velvet. They all dip a little toward the front, and when "made up" in white gauze or white nilk or gandie they are looked upon as some thing smarter than if built of colors, because tbe craze for black and white is not yet on the wane. Taking it for granted that your choice is white, with black for trimming, your bodice must be gathered into a black belt and your neck be cut out in such a pretty V back andfroutfthetwo narrow flounces matching the skirt will trim it well with full rnching of tulle for heading, the whole giving yon such fine width across the shoulders and showing oft" the lovely Hues of your neck and the graceful pose of the head. Your arras are rather too long and slender un covered, but seen through the trans parent material in mousquetaire shir riugs they are faultless. As you walk across the room your black gauze sash with its long plisse ends in the back and its bnucli of short loops, with a big diamond buckle in the middle, is really qnite a perfect touch. Your golden hair, raised up high on the top of your head, adds to yonr height and you excel in the way you have it waved, and the knot at the top, to gether with jnst the right kind of abort, loose curls, arrauged so becom ingly on your brow. Of course you wear your pearls nobody's . neck is dressed without them and your jew eled ornaments exceedingly choice, and yon never overdo the matter. Philadelphia Ledger. Look to Vour Little Finger. The fact that the hand looks shap lier and more graceful when the mid dle and third Augers are slightly curved away from the index aud little finger is shown by the models in the glove store windows, aud while it is affecta tion to hold the hands in such a posi tion, yet this exercixe, to make the pose natural, should be practiced. Home oue has said somewhere that the number of cultured geueratious back of au individual may be judged by the degree of curve in the little finger. Observation will prove this more or less true. When one sees a person holding a glass or oup with the little finger thrust out and curved until it resembles a hook, a little in vestigation will almost invariably show that the desire for culture has just awakened in that particular fam ily, and in its uewues ' is somewhat overstepping the mark. Affectation is a sign of lack of breeding. feoine of the old painters understood bands to perfection. Long, rounded bands, with ' slightly curved fingers and gently bent wrists, are character i:'i of tbe women whose beauty (bey bare made memorable. Sometimes, perhaps, the beautiful hands were those of some other model than the pictured one; but the painters knew that beautiful hands were as neces sary as beautiful faces in order to make a harmonious pictnre. The people of almost every other nation nave more graceful hands than we have; and those who use their hands moat freely when conversing are by far the most graceful. The hands which make no superfluous movements, which nppenr to obey readily and easily their owner's will, whose movements are free, rhythmic and gentle, are the really graceful ones. -Woiiiau's Home Companion. Hummer Fana and Hat IMns.' Fans to match every costume are what the fashionable womau must uow provide, There is an immense vari ety to choose from, so this should not be a formidable task. With the slight increase in thn size of the present style or fans, the os trich feather fun lias again returned to favor. Almost every woman has one of these handtome fans stowed carefully away, and now is the time to bring it forth. Ostrich funs are peculiarly graceful, and make a hand some adjuuet to the most elegant toi let. A late fancy is the violet, fun. In the shops these are very expensive, but the girl with quick fingers and artistic eye can easily manufacture one at home. The foundation is a white silk or sntiu fan, with rather long, plain sticks. Medium silk vio lets are cfiosen and are glued carefully on. They must not look stiff, but as if they had fallen cr.relessly npou the fan. The fan is laid tint while the violets are fastened on, and is then pressed with a heavy weight until thoroughly dry. It is uot intended to close, but hangs as an ornament from the side. Other small flowers, forget me nots, heather or lilies of the valley, are used in the same way, ami the flower fans are among the pretti est of the season's novelties. More gorgeous are the Ittce fans, embroidered with spangles, 'villi jew-1 eled sticks, fans of this variety are very eoBtly and very frail. More dainty and varied than ever are the Jnpaneae fans. They nre truly the friends for hot weather. A num ber are quite handsome enough to be carried with fashionable gowns. The summer home is not complete without a large assortment of every size and hue. Flies, bugs and creeping things nre most popular for hatpins. There is a huge bumble bee enamelled iu its own brilliant colors, with jeweled eyes. Dragon flies which sparkle in the sunlight are very pretty fasteners for the dainty summer millinery. Long green lizards,the bodies studded with emeralds and the eyes of rubies, make costly and coveted hatpins. Butterflies, too, come in for a good share of popularity. Both in genuine and imitation brilliants they are shown in every conceivable variety. Very chaste are the pins of huge American pearls rising from a chalice of finely cut rhinostoiies. Jade is a novelty for bntpins and is being used , extensively. The judo stone is con sidered a tuliHinnn against evil. Here again is noticed the craze for military buttons. Mounted aud burnished, they are woru iu pairs, one on either side of the hat. A cheap, flashy hutpin will spoil the appcaranco of the most expenivo hat. The sensible woman buys a solid gold , or silver pin with a handsome aud substantial head. The purchase, proves a good investment in point of looks and durability. Ban Francisco Ex aminer, Fashion Note. Bracelets aud bangles are again in vogue. ' Soft hats will take the place of the derby for wheel wear. Children will wear tan stockings aud shoes with their summer attire. Brown and tan stockings will be the proper color with shoes of a like color. Batistes with colored grounds will be covered with loose floral designs. Small checked ginghams in all colors are finding favor with the fashion ables. Faucy hosiery still coutiuues popu lar, judging from the sales at the stores. The wool golfing stockings are giving place to the silk and cotton ones ot summer wear. s Bed chambray with black embroid ered desiguB will be a favorite deeigtj for summer wear. Black cotton hose, with fancy col ored silk welts, are selling well this season for golfing. Plain black hose will be worn much this season by those who do not care for fuuey footwear. Black dotted Hwiss gowns are made up over color aud trimmed with rows and rows of black lace insertiou. All the light tints will be in vogue this season, and will be elaborately trimmed wjth lace and embroidery. The English walking hut still holds a place in fashion, and is often pro fusely trimmed with plumes aud jet. Among summer hats a chip with white inousseliue tie aoie and sweet peas will be a chio headdress for young women. Bailor bats will be worn with low crowns and nurrow brims this season. A fashionable trimming will be a fold ed scarf wouud arouud tbe crowu slid tied at the left side. Tbe woman who wears chiffon would do well to use moii'seliue de soie iu its place this summer, for it is b nearly iudestructible as a pretty, soft material can be. It w ill stand pack ing well aud dampness does not ruin it. But every womau who does hei own (bopping with care knows that. riotd Flb. In a store where horns aquarium sup plies are told there are, besides the usual varied assortment of glana globes, a number ot larger tanks of va rious shape and sixes, In which stock Is kept for sale. The tank themselves are, of course, sold If there Is a de mand for them. Lying across the corner of the largest ef these tank Is a little net, the hoop no more than five or six Inches In diam eter, and the handle about a foot long. This Is to scoop up the gold fishes when they are sold. When a new out fit Is sold complete the fishes are de livered In the globe or tank. It often happen, however, that tbe person al ready owning a globe wants to replsce Bah that have been lost, or to add to Ms stock, and he goes to the store where such things are sold and' buy one ot more gold fishes, just ts he would buy any merchandise, except that Instead of sitting down at a coun ter to make his selections, he bends over a tank and Indicates among the fishes swimming about the ones lie wants. As be makes his selection the dealer scoop them out with the little net, and as likely as not the purchaser carries the fish he ha bought, a single fish or half n dozen, or whatever tlis number may be, right away with blui In a tin poll. Little gold fish of tbe commoner kinds ran lie bought for a few cents apiece. Some of the rarer varieties cost dollars. New York Sun. A Long Tramp' Flack. Smith Pshaw, man.
