A nav,y Sorge frock is always pretty and dainty. The latest motor coat has a mul- titude of pockets Blouses in net and lace are just as popular as over. Bar pins are made of small hand- made sills. roses. A new fad has arisen for boudoir naps made .of silk instead of lace. Tan, beaver, brown, gray, and black are • the favorite colors far glove. The correct boots for the present time are those with white or fawn - colored tops. The skirts are still narrow, straight and inlet at the side by buttoned over panels. Acordion plaited collarettes of blaok net over white are worn with afternoon dresses. Jabots are very large, with a ruf- fle on each side Made fo a contrast- ing lace or net. Boudoir dresses aro of crinkled silk, with collars and cuffs of hand - embroidered batiste. Long tunic dresses on transpar- • ent fabrics, nicely embroidered, are just new in great demand. Veils are of the thinnest meshes, with shadow designs running through them. Many have a white background, with the scroll in black. A new combination muff and handbag is one which opens with a flap in the front and fastens with a loop and large fur button. It hangs from the shoulder by a long, heavy silk chord. Pocketbooks are shaped like ob- long envelopes and trimmed with a flexible metal edging. Tho cords are long and sometimes of the flex- ible metal. ' Fur scarfs are three yards long and very wide and must be worn around the neck crossed in the back, with both ends hanging down in front. Beautiful little silk aprons of changeable taffeta in black or de- licate shades of color are both lovely and useful for needlework or little household tasks. These are out heart -shaped, round, or pointed. Revers of satin, faille, and some of the new novelty corded silks are much in evidence. Terry cloth, par- ticularly in white, is considered a smart trimming and is being used in the better class of suits. THE BEST MEDICINE. Everyone who goes into a sick, person's room should be bright and cheerful. Siok people are extreme- ly sensitive to the manner of those around them, and any depressing influence has a most injurious ef- fect. Hope is the best medicine. Unfortunately, the sick person's relatives often take the Worst view of the• case, and their anxiety is unmistakably manifested by their looks, voice, and general manner. They even talk despairingly in the room, thinking that because the patient is quiet and dull he does not understand. But his perception of everything relating to his illness is markedly acute. Note the good effects of the visit of a ,cheery doctor. For hours after the patient seems better, and is better. Of course it does not do to be flippant, but if relatives would force themselves to take a hopeful view and show it in their manner, they would in many cases actually save the sick person's life. ELECTRIC OVENS. A recent report calls attention to the tests at the, London electrical exposition which demonstrated that the shrinkage of meat when cooked in a coal range is greater than that of the same, meat cooked in ages nuge, and Qo lsiderably More than when cooked in an electric range. A leg of mutton weighing eight pounds and eight ounces showed a shrinkage of two pounds and eleven ounces when cooked in the coal range, whereas a leg of mutton weighing nine pounds showed a loss of one pound and four ounces when cooked in an electric oven. The shrinkage for the gas • oven was two pounds and four ounces on an eight -pound leg of mutton. SL VITUS DANCE Cured Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Chorea, or as it is more gener- ally known, St. Vitus dance, is a disease that usually attacks the young children, though older per- sons may be afflicted with it. Its most common symptoms are a twitching of the muscles of the face and limbs. As the disease pro- gresses this twitching takes the form of spasms in which the jerk- ing motion may be confined to the head, or all the limbs may be af- fected. The patient is frequently unable to hold anything in the hands or to walk steadily and in severe cases even the speech is af- fected. The disease is due to debil- ity of the nerves and is always cured by Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, which enrich the blood, tone and strengthen the nerves and thus re- store the sufferer to good health. The following is a striking instauee of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do in this trouble, Mrs. Chas, Phipps, Pelee Island, Ont., says :— "At the age of fourteen my eldest daughter, Edith, became much run down, and the trouble de- veloped into St. Vitus dance. First her left arm beoamt affected, then the left leg and entire left side. She grew so bad that she actually could not hold anything in her hand, and could only go about with a sliding, jerking motion. Not- withstanding that we were giving her medicine, she seemed to be growing worse, and finally her speech became much affected. We became so much alarmed about her that finally her father get a supply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and we began giving her these. In the course of a few weeks she was much better, and before all the pills were gone she was again en- joying perfect health. This was in 1906, and as she has not had a symptom of the trouble since I feel justified in saying the cure is per- manent." Be sure you get the genuine pills which are sold by all medicine dealers or may bo had at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 fro MANY WHALES CAPTURED.. The people of Balallan, a village on Loch Lrisort Isle of Lewis, 1n the Outer Hebrides, have had an exciting and profitable experience. Fishermen sighted a. school of fifty- four whales and drove them up the loch until the whales reached the rapids. Than the .entire male population of Balallan formed a bridge of boats across the loch to prevent the whales from escaping and drove the big, fellows into Anil - low wl-low water, where they were !cillled.

One of the most curious facts about meteorites is that they often contain previously unrecognized minerals, although their chemical elements are familiar on the earth. One of the stones that fell in a meteoric shower at El Nakhla, 25 miles east of Alexandria, Egypt, on June 29th, has been analyzed by Professor Stanislas Meunier at Paris. It is pentagonal in outline, about four inches long, an inch and a half broad, and an inch thick. Its composition is peculiar, and Profes- sor Meunier, believing that the mineral of which it consists is an entirely' new compound, proposes to call it naklite. The source, or sources, from which meteorites oome cannot yet be designated, but their customary great relative den- sity suggests an origin in some mas- sive body in space. LIBERAL OFFER.

The girl left the piano, and sticking her head into 'the kitchen, said, "Ma, I wish you would save the dishwater when you get through." Terrible Itching .:Y Got Little Sleep Mr, T.

A. QUEEN MARY STARTS CULT. 'SAVED HERSELF King George's Consort Is a Devotee of Sewing and Needlework. Owing to the incentive of Queen Mary, who is a devotee of the needle, the cult of stitchery prevails in English society to an amazing extent, writes a London correspon- dent, Every other woman one meets is talking of needlework and the craft of the needle; it is a sort of obsession. The mysteries of satin stitch, padded and otherwise, of crewel work, braid work, couch- ing; herringbone, buttonhole and French knots are discussed by ev- erybody. By the time Queen Mary comes back from India and the Dur- bar she will find society as keen on needlework as it used to be on bridge. One of the cleverest needlework - era is Lady Glonconner (sister-in- law of Mrs. Asquith), who makes her own designs and has original ideas for decoration. She is fond of big, bold patterns in vivid colors and has worked many bed -spreads and coverlets in William Morris patterns. There is a splendid speci- mon of her work at Wilsford Ma- nor, Salisbury, on a slender ma- hogany bed of a very olcl type. She likes best to copy old designs and says she considers if women of to- day plied the needle more frequent- ly they would bo less restless in this feverish, hurrying age. Another workwoman who is an adept in her art is Lady West, whose magnificent curtains, sixteen in number, in her drawing -room, are a marvel of needlework. They are part applique and part embroi- dery, in lovely colors of deep blue, green and gold. The effect, ob- tained from old Italian designs, is very full and fine. Lady West is clever beyond the ordinary and has the knack of adapting old Gorman and Italian designs to modern re- quirements. Her ,lourtains are quite unique in their way—nothing of the same kind has been done of recent years, and this cult of the needle is quite a circumstance of the early twentieth century. It may mean a return to the domestic methods of our forebears. 0 Occasionally a man hunts up a loud shirt when he wants to put on a bold front.

A census is being taken up in literary, clubs here and abroad of the Christian names of women who have attained fame in art, science, history, and government. The results so far obtained show a tie, for first honors among Marys, Elizabeths, and Anne: The next favorite, name of illustrious wo- men is Margaret,, and then come Jane. Catherine, Frances, Sarah, Harriet, Charlotte, Caroline, Lucy, Matilda, Emil, and Susan. The Mends, Gwendolyns, Ediths,: Ethels, Hazels, and Roses are not famous enough to get in the hon- orable mentioned class so far. As the census has not yet been com- pleted, there still may bo hope for some of the latter. -New York Press. MOTHER'S MAKE.

Even a woman with a graoeful carriage prefers to ride in her own automobile. It is better for man to do a lit- tle kicking than to deteriorate in- to a human football. Perhaps a man has more tempta- tions than a woman because he knows just where to look for them.

The wind was blowing a bit more than a gale one night, when a be- nevolent old chap stopped to put a dime in the hat of at shivering blind man on the public square. The donor nearly dropped the coin, but the mendicant shoved his hat un- derneath it and skillfully rescued it. "Why, you're not blind," cried the giver, scornfully. "No, sir," tconfessed the beggar, "I'm just takin' a pal's place while he has a bit o' rest. He's blind, sir—been blind from birt'." "Where is he tuking his restl" demanded the stranger, still unconvinced. "Why, he—er--why, he's gone to a movin' picture show."

The created hoaotzin of British Guiana is the only survivor of a certain reee of birds, most of which are now known only as fossils. The boaetzin inhabits the most seclud- ed forests of South America, and its survival beyond its congeners is doubtless owing .to its retiring habits and to the feet that it feeds on wild arum leaves, which gives its flesh a most offensive flavor, rendering it unfit for food. The chief .peculiarly of the hoaet- zin consists in the fact that when it is -hatched is possesses four well- developed legs. The young birds leave the, nest and climb about like monkeys over the adjoining limbs. and look more like tree -toads than birds. The modification of the fore limbs begins at once after hatch- ing, when the claws of the digits fall off and the whole claw-like hand begins to flatten and becomes wing- shaped. Feathers soon appear, and before full growth is reached not a vestige remains of the original character. The adult birds not only have no claws upon their wings, but their thumbs even are so poorly developed that one would hardly suspect that in the nestlings we have the nearest approach to a quadruped found among existing birds. IN MATCIITOWN. Fortunately no Faith Was Re- quired, For She Rad None. "I had no faith whatever, but oa the advice of a hale, hearty old gentleman who spoke from experi- ence, I began to use Grape -Nuts about a year ago," writes an Ohio woman, who says she is 40, is known to be fair, and admits that she is growing plump on the new diet. "I shall not try to tell you how I suffered for years from a de- ranged stomach that rejected al- most all sorts of food, and digested what little was forced upon it only at the cost of great distress and pain. "I was treated by many differ- ent doctors and they gave me many different medicines, and I even spent several years in exile from my home, thinking change of scene might do me geed. You may judge of the gravity of my condition when I tell you I was sometimes compelled to use mor- phine for weeks at a time. "For two years I have eaten Grape -Nuts food at least twice a day and I can now say that I have perfect health. I have taken no medicine in that time—Grape- Nuts has done it all. I can eat ab- solutely -anything I wish, without stomach distress. "I am a business woman and can walk my 2 or 3 miles a day and feel bettor for doing so. I have to use brains in my work, and it is remarkable how quick, alert and tireless my mental powers have become." Name given by Cana- dian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

Pills for Nervous Troubles.—Tile stomach is the centre of the nerv- ous system, and when the stomach suspends healthy action the result is manifest in disturbances of the nerves. If allowed to persist, nerv- ous debility, a dangerous ailment, may ensue. The first considera- tion is to restore the stomach to proper action, and there is no read- ier remedy for this than Parme- lee's Vegetable Pills. Thousands can attest the virtue of these pills in curing nervous disorders. Life has many shadows—but most shadows are due to sunshine.
