Following the revival of hand em
broidery stars, tacklngs, etc., are used
to embellish gowns of all kinds.
The use ot long haired plain and
mixed goods Is one of the features ot
the season. Among heavy-textured ma
terials there Is perhaps nothing more
popular than the ribellnes.
In trimmings the tendency Is toward
simple effects. The deamnd for braid
decorations is unprecedented. The

A Dainty Ceat.
A smart little coat Tor rny lady to
wear when alio goes a-vlsitlng Is made
of white broadcloth. It is rather
short, with elaborate sleeves. So far
it Is not startling. But over it falls a
little shawl-like cape. This is scal
loped and three-cornered. One point
falls to the edge ot the coat at the cen
tre back and the others come to the
edge of each point. Is this little
shawl-like cave the edgo ot the wedge,
and are our grandmothers' Indian
shawls to be used otherwise than as pi
ano and mantel drapes? A word to
the wise is sufllclcnt. Don't give away
or misuse your shawls.
Attractive Golf Vests.
About two seasons ago an enterpris
ing manufacturer produced the golf
vest. For a time it was received some
what conservatively even by golfers,
but after awhile it became widely pop
ular. Women with an eye to conven
ience adopted It tor all possible occa
sions. Elastic and tight fitting, It set
snugly under the light Jacket as well
as the heavier wrap. Also, some of
the so-called golf vests were so natty
and becoming that It seemed a pity to
waste their beauty on tellow golfers
only, and for this reason they became
the fashion for riding and driving.
The knitted vests of this season are
more attractive than ever, and their
vogue seems on the Increase.
Tortoise Shell Combs.
Tortoise shell combs are coming in
again, and nothing can be prettier
than these dainty, expensive orna
ments for the hair.
Some of them are exquisitely orna
mented with jewels and gold scrolls
In odd and intricate designs.
Some are in the pale yellow tortoise
shell set with diamonds and gold fili
gree work, and others are In dark
hell with scroll designs.
Another novelty is a double spiral
crew pin in tortoise shell, to which
jewelled ornaments of any kind can
be fastened, and which cannot possl
My fall out of the hair.
There are also some apodal curved
combs which will commend them
selves to those who find it difficult to
keep their hair puffed out In the pre
vailing fashion.
Advice to Tired Women.
If the busy woman will- take advan
tage of the following advice, she will
find that youth and beauty will linger
with her past their allotted time.
Every day after luncheon, no matter
how much her time is occupied, she
will bathe face and neck in warm
water, and in case ot unusual fatigue,
specially warm applications will be
placed at the back of tho neck for a
few moments. The tired lines should
next be smoothed out deftly, skin
food should be applied, and then away
to a darkened room for 20 minutes of
complete rest. Tills simple procedure
U so inexpensive and so easily man
aged that It will never be popular, but
facts show that many women have
been wonderfully benefited by the rest
when It is needed rather than after all
the work and hurry and bustle are
ever.
Successful Women.
It has been wisely suggested that
the women who succeed are those who
Co to their work with a determination
bora of courage and positive convic
tions, and whose energies are abso
lutely tireless.
It Is true they are often not so well
paid lor the same work as men, but
thai is one of the mistakes ot the day
that will soon be rectified. We are
avowing wiser, and one of the things
that Is most important for every one
to know is that there is no sex in
brains. Those who fall are usually
those who expect too much and pre
sume on account of their being wom
en. There is plenty of work and
money tor the sharp woman who will
fight every difficulty.
Everybody loves a fighter, whether
It be man or woman; fighters who see
nothing but success at the other end
ot the long road; fighters who believe
In themselves and their efforts, and
who plan their dolly battle as a gen
ral plans campaigns; fighters who
are brave, above board and generous
In the struggle these are the hero
ines of doily life, and they command
success and respect by thoroughly de
serving it. New York News.
Fashion Hints for Winter.
A chief characteristic of the new
waists and bodices is the deep shoul
der effect, achieved either by the
shaping ot the garment or the dtsyo-,
itlon of the trimming.
That skirts will remain close fitting
about the hips and" have the decided
flare at ther lower edge is indicated by
the newest designs.
Quite the smartest coat to be worn
with walking skirts la the loose Nor
folk, with stitched straps and belt of
the material.
The .Empire designs are being well
received for Indoor purposes.
Velvet costumes are certain to en
joy the popularity accorded them last
season.
Blot seams are retained In many of
the latest skirts and appear also la
coats.
.. Lace Boots Correct.
For walking and for general wear
laced boots are still considered the
correct thing, though there are many
maids and matrons who cling to those
that button. The favorite leathers for
these heavy shoes are calf and calf ve
lotir, and the heels are either Cuban or
the broad low flat ones that make
walking easy.
For afternoon dress, where a car
riage will be used, the shoes are ot
sort, fine dull kid, with French heels,
and these are almost invariably but
ton. For Informal wear, full evening dress
requires the duchesse satin slipper,
with a Louis Qtitnze heel. This heel
Is siender and tall, quite three inches.
Tho satin matches the dress exactly.
One lovely slipper shows point de Ven
ise lace en applique all around. It Is
even on the tongue.
As for further adorning, it's a tie be
tween the buckle and the rosette. The
buckle, of finest cut steel. Is this sea
son the first choice. When a chiffon
Is used it is caught with one of
Rhinestones. Colored stones are
Introduced if one desires to indulge In
any particular colored scheme.
For house wear In the day time
many women prefer Oxfords to slip
pers. Calf or kid with patent leather tips
is the correct thing for children. For
dancing school both boys and girls
wear black patent leather pumps,
though at 16 a girl adopts a very mod
erate French heel.
Winter Hats.
Fur hats are too hot for this climate,
excepting for midwinter wear, but
there are some fur toques and turbans
which are so becoming and so smart
that no one could resist them. The
mole-skin, that most fashionable ot
all furs, which is made up in the new
blouses, looks remarkably well In a
toque with stiff cockade at the side;
white and gray Bqulrrel and the fur
that looks like rabbit skin are also
most attractive in hats. Few hats ot
Persian lamb are seen, but those that
are in evidence are so exceedingly
smart that they are unquestionably
fashionable. In spite of the great ex
travagance in dress, there is one
thing about this year's fashions which
makes it possible tor people of moder
ate means to dress well; the fact
that last year's hats and gowns may
be altered satisfactorily into this
year's styles. It will require time, pa
tience and Ingenuity to accomplish
the desired result, but it is possible,
and, of course, it is not sensible to
throw away handsome materials sim
ply because the styles of this year are
different. A fur bat ot last year can
be remodeled by using velvet of the
same shade, a rosette of lace, or some
one of the feather trimmings so fash
ionable at the moment; the velvet
hat may be quite modernized by com
bining with it chiffon, silk or taffeta,
and often when a hat is really so shab
by as to be quite discouraging in gen
eral appearance, the birds which are
so fashionable at present can be put
on to cover the entire bat There are
many new shapes in wire frames or
in felt that easily may be trimmed
with old materials at little expense,
and while there are hats at enormous
ly high prices, there are also hats at
lower prices than ever known, and
such as are worth buying, too. Har
per's Bazar.
Hairline stripes are seen In the
newest veilings.
An odd design in braid trimmings Is
a leaf in two tones.
Evening gowns made entirely ot
fringe are decidedly new.
Pistachio and soft pastel shades are
the green tints approved ot by fash
ion. Straps ot black velvet studded with
silver nail heads effectively set oil a
costume ot black zlbeline.
Camellias, both white and coral tint
ed, ore fashionable in Paris; so, too,
are tiger lilies and velvet popples.
The latest klmona preserves the
characteristics of the Japanese original
but is cut to fit the American figure.
Toques tormed of camellias, violets
and foliage are much worn. For wear
later on are shown toques of sable
with garniture of flowers and foliage.
Opal pearls, shaped like the familiar
baroque, but gleaming with opalescent
coloring, are among the button novel
ties. They are Inexpensive and ex
ceedingly decorative.
Brown toques are particularly fa
vored and a charming type is of mlr

A Novel Clock.
In Oeneva a very novel and useful
clock has Just been constructed. Us
principal feature is a phonograph,
which will reproduce to-morrow and
at precisely the same hour any words
that may be spoken into it to-day.
The usefulness of such a timepiece Is
manifest. Suppose, for example, you
have an important appointment for to
morrow at 5 o'clock In the evening
and do not wish to forget it, all that
Is necessary for you to do Is to take
the phonograph attached to the clock
and say into It: "I have an appoint
ment to-day with at 5 o'clock."
If you utter these words at S o'clock
to-day they will be produced at 3
o'clock to-morrow, and thus you will
have ample time to keep your appoint
ment. As an aid to memory a knot
in one's handkerchlew haB hitherto
proved of much service, but It Is cer
tainly not as useful as this phono
graph clock.

LADY ON EDITORIAL
STAFF OF LEADING
RELIGIOUS WEEKLY
Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits of Cuticura Remedies In the
Treatment of Humours of the
Blood. Skin and Scalp.
"I wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency ot the Cuticura Reme
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. I had a
number ot skin tumours small
ones on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a plnhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, If not
lust right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A. little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. I was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de
termine whether It was a carbuncle
or a malignant tumor.
" My friends tried to persuade me
to consult my physician but dread
ing that he would insist ou using
the knife, I would not consent to
go. Instead I got a Bmall bottle of
Cuticura Hesolvent and a box of Cu
ticura Ointment I took tho former
according to directions, and spread
a thick layer ot the Ointment on a
linen cloth and placed it on the
swelling. On renewing It I would
bathe my neck in very warm water
and Cuticura Soap. In a fow days
the Cuticura Ointment had drawn
the swelling to a head, when it
broke. Uvery morning it was opened
with a large sterilized nuedle,
squeezed and bathed, and fresh
Ointment put on. l'us and blood,
and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous
matter came out. In about three or
four weeks' time this treatment
completely eliminated boil and

" About five or six years ago my
sister had a similar experience. She
had two large lumps come nnder
her right arm, the result of a sprain.
They grew rapidly, and our physi
cian wanted to cut them out. I
would not listen to it, and she tried .
the Cuticura Remedies (as I did a :
few months ago) with magical effect. ' ,
In six weeks' time the lumps had
entirely disappeared, and have never
returned. .
" 1 have great faith In the Cuticura
Remedies, and I beliove they might ,
be as efficacious in similar caaea '
with other people, and thus save)
much suffering, and perhaps life. I
have derived so much benefit from "'
the use of them myself that I ant it
constantly advising
others to use them. Re- M
cently I recommended
them to an office boy for
his father, who was dis
abled with salt rheum, i
The man's feet were .

size, and he had not

of Cuticura Ointment '
worked a perfect cure.

"I am very much in-'
terested in another case t
where I have recom
mended Cuticura just '
now. My housemaid's
mother has a goitre
which had reecbed a"j
very dangerous point ,

that nothing could bo

and waa unable to speak, when her '
daughter, at my suggestion, tried
the effect of the Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Resolvent. Strange to '
say, she waa very shortly relieved of t
me most aistressing symptoms. The
swelling seemed to be exteriorized,
and she is now able to be around
her house, and can talk as well aa
ever.
" It seems to me that I have pretty j
good grounds for believing that
Cuticura Remedies will prove suc
cessful in the most distressing forms
of blood and skin humours, and if
you wish to use my testimonial as
herein indicated, I am willing that
yon should do so, with the furthor ;
privilege of revealing my name and1'
address to such persons as may wish
to substantiate the above state
ments by personal letter to me.".,
