Every year over 100,000
persons die of consumption
in this country alone. Cherry
Pectoral would not have cured
all these. Taken in time, it
would have cured many.
A Mr. D. P. Jolly, of
Avoca, N. Y., wrote us, a few
weeks ago, that his mother
had regular old-fashioned con
sumption for years, and was
given up to die. She tried
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It
helped her at once, and she
is now completely restored to
health.
We believe Mr. Jolly's
story, because it's only one
of thousands.

for theatre wear and all those occa
sions which mean removing tho out
side wrap. The smart May Manton
model illustrated includes all the
latest features aud Is comfortable at
the same time that it is easily made.
As shown, the material is doe colored
satin-faced cloth, with yoke of darker
velvet and trimming of embroidered
applique, while the cape is lined with
fancy taffeta in light shades, but cloth
of any color, drap d'etc, Henrietta or
peau de sole can be substituted, with
any trimming and lining preferred.
The pointed yoke and high, flaring
collar are cut together, but in sections,
which allow of a perfect fit. The
cloth that makes the cape proper is
laid all around in backward turning
pleats, forming an inverted pleat at
the centre back. Each pleat is stitched
its entire length one-half inch from
tho edge to form the narrow tucks.
The pleats are then laid narrower at
the top nnd widening tow. rd the bot
tom and are pressed and tacked on the
underfold to position. The cape por
tion is attached to a shallow yoke of
lining, over which the yoke collar is
laid. The stitching not alone is orna-

mental, it holds tho pleats in away to
avoid all clumsiness, yet allows them
to flare sofflcicntly for grace, but it
may he omitted and the edges left
plain.
To make this cape for a woman of
medium size six yards of material
twenty-one inches wide, three and a
quarter yards forty-four iuehes wide
or three and a quarter yards fifty
iuehes wide, with one and an eightli
yards of velvet for collar, will he re
quired.
Double-ISrensted Eton Jacket.
Every possible variation of the Eton
jacket is shown amoug the imported
gowns. The stylish May Manton mod
el shown in the large engraving is ad
mirable for both separate jackets and
suits. For the latter use cloth of all
sorts is appropriate, as is velvet, which
is much worn for occasions of formal
dress. For general wear heavier cloth
and heavy Cheviot have the preference,
although black velvet is to have an
extended vogue for visiting and church
wear. As shown, the jacket is de
signed for a costume of soft tan col
ored broadcloth, with bauds of white,
edged with tiny silk ball button trim
ming that matches the cloth. With
the skirt is worn a deep draped bodice
belt of soft silk, which is shown at
the hack, where the jacket slopes up
to produce the fashiouablc short
waisted effect.
The back is seamless and fits with
perfect smoothness; the fronts are
fitted by means of single darts aud lap
one over the other in double-breasted
style. At the upper edge of the right
front are three ornamental buttons
that, with the buttonholes, keep the
jacket closed. At the neck is a stand
ing collar, with double flaring portions
that rest against the hair. The sleeves
are two-seamed and flare over the
hands.
To make this jacket for a woman of
medium size three and three-quarter
yards of material twenty-one inches
wide, two yards forty-four Inches
wide, or one and a half yards fifty
Inches wide, will be required.
The Bayadere Effect.
Wide pieces of lace insertion are
applied in diagonal lines across the
skirt of a taffeta silk gown, thus giv-
Ing It n modified Bayadere aspect
This effect should not be attempted
by a very short woman, as the ar
rangement of lines tends to make the
figure look abbreviated. With such
a gown the same Idea should be car
ried out on the bodice. The waist
should be cut double-breasted across
the chest and fasten on the left side.
This is the best model for displaying
diagonal lines of Insertion on a
bodice.
Modish Fun*. *
The small fans which will be car
ried with handsome gowns show the
cut-out effect of so many other things.
There are white lace flowers on black
net, the net showing only on closest
examination and the flowers standing
off by themselves, conventionalized tu
lips perhaps, or beautiful fleur de Us
with a few silver spangles to brighten
them, set In black handles. Or the
black lace fans will have spangles of
gold and handles of gold and black.
White For Winter Wear.
Pure white toilets aro to be as popu
lar during the winter season as they
have been during the summer, and are
being prepared in cloth as often as in
lighter materials for house and even
ing wear. The white cloth gown and
white felt hat, In combination with
heavy furs, will be a favorite fad of
the woman to whom expense and dur
ability are of no concern.
Sea Gulls on Muffs.
Sea gulls are used for the body of
cliilTon muffs and fancy small cape
collars to match; one gull on cither
shoulder, the heads pointing down on
the bust. Two birds are also used for
the muff with chiffon frills at either
end.

Ladle*' Morning; Jacket.
A simple breakfast jacket makes an
essential part of every wardrobe.

a shirt waist is irksome, and nothing
takes the place of n jacket that is per
fectly comfortable and easy, yet does
not degenerate into the negligee that

only. The tasteful May Manton mod
el shown is suited to flannel of various
weights and qualities, from the fine
French to the simple outing, and all
washable stuffs. As Illustrated, it is
made of the Scotch sort that contains
just enough cotton to allow of wash
ing without harm, in cream wlittc,
with stripes of blue, and is trimmed
with fancy blue braid about the scal
lops.
The jacket is fltteiS toosely at the
front, but is snug enough for neatness
and style. The backs are cut in
French stylo with a curved seam at
the centre and are joined to the fronts
by broad tinder-arm gores that are
shaped to give a graceful outline to
the figure. At the negk is a deep turn
over collar that can be worn with a
simple ribbon tie. The sleeves are
two-seamed, snug without being tight,
and flare becomingly over the hands.

I grow disconsolate!

Have proven fruitless cares,

A PRINCE AND HIS COOK.
The Ruler of Ritlgnria Drove a Hard Rnr-
Kftln wltli Hi* Chof.
"The Trince and tlie Cook" is the
theme of a rather amusing story In
which the ruler of Bulgaria and his
former chef play the leading parts.
About 18 months ngo the prince en
gaged at Vicuna the services of a chef
named A'aniczec for a term of two
years, on the following basis; The cook
was to receive 110 wages, hut a sum of
10 francs a day for providing dejeuner
and dinner for the prince, his family
and the members of his court and
household. In addition he was to re
ceive 10 francs (which Is a little less
than $2 a day for each Invited guest
who happened to take dejeuner or din
ner under the prince's roof. As, a
guarantee of his observance of the
terms of the contract, the chef was
compelled to deposit with the prince's
treasurer a sum of SIO,OOO.
Before the cook had been very long
at Sofia he found that ruin stared him
in the face. The demands and require
ments of the prince, in a culinary sense,
were such that the dejeuner alone
which his Highness required the cook
to supply cost more than 10 francs a
head, so that the price of the dinner
virtually came out of fhe chef's own
pocket. When the chef asked for an
Increase be was told that he would
have to stick to the terms of his con
tract, and when he struck work and de
clined to continue any longer, the
prince coolly confiscated the $10,(K)0
which the chef had been called upon
to deposit as a guarantee.
The chef thereupon instituted a suit
against the prince, demanding the re
turn of his SIO,OOO and the payment
of an additional sum of s,'looo which
he showed by vouchers that he lmd
spent out of his own resources over
and above what he had received from
the prince In order to meet the hitter's
requirements. The courts gave a de
cision in favor of the prince.
But the cook lias got even at last, for
he has opened at Budapest a great res
taurant In the ultra-fashionable An
drassy street, the place bearing the
title of "Prince of Bulgaria" and
adorned with the hitter's arms, while

the one and the other in a ridiculous
and contemptible light, the consensus
of opinion at Budapest being that the
prince would have been wiser to pay
his cook.—Washington Tost.

The Most Important Period in a
Woman's Existence. Mrs. John
son Tells How She Was Helped
Over the Trying Time.
Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand ap
proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very
annoying, and sometimes painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills,
as if the heart were going to stop for good, are only a few of the symptoms of
a dangerous nervous trouble. The nerves are crying out for assistance. Th
cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life.
The three following letters arc guaranteed to be genuine and true, and
still further prove what a great medicine Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is for women.

Compound, but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around the
house. The aching in the lower part of womb has left me. The most that

day. lam not discouraged yet, and shall continuo with your medicine,

April 13, 1900.
44 1 send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sick for
about nine years so that I could not do my work. For three months I could
not sit up long enough to have my bed made. I had five different doctors, and
all said there was no help for rae. My trouble was change of life. I suffered
with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, back
ache, headache, and dizziness. lam well and strong, and feel like a new
person. My recovery is a perfect surprise to everybody that knew me. I owe
all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 1 would not do without
your meaicine for anything. There is no need of women suffering so much if
they would take your remedies, for they are a sure cure."—MßS. CHARLOTTE
JOHNSON, Monclova, Ohio.
When one stops to think about the good Mrs. Johnson derived from Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine, it seems almost beyond belief; yet it is all,
true as stated in her throe letters published above at her own request.
As a matter of positive fact Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of
letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period
44 Change of Life." Mrs. Johnson's cure is not an unusual one for Mrs. Pink
ham's medicine to accomplish.
