“ Gentlemen— For some years past my health
has been very poor. I have had liver trouble,
and my old disease, . alt rheum, which I had
when a girl, broke out again on my head and face.
I Have Suffered Terribly,
and for along time doetored without any relief.
My stomach trouble was very painful, my food
causing great distress. But my sufferings from
salt rheum are almost indescribable. The itcfm

my hair fell out. My face was a pitiable
sight, and I was nearly broken down by the loss
of sleep and on account of my stomach trouble,

CHANGING WEDDING FASHIONS.
(Mango Blossoms No Longer Necessary and
the Veil Sometimes Omitted. ‘
The traditional wedding custOms, like
many other old Observances, are rapidly
disappearing, whether banished by the uni-
versal skepticism or the times or neglected
because the age is‘too busy to allow any ele-
ment that is not eminently prosaic and prac:
tica1,it would be difficult to say. A bride may
still occasionally unconsciously advertise
the novelty of her position by a collection of
rice among the ribbons of her bonnet, While
the groom’s but sometimes falls a victim to
the too accurate aim of :2. Well meant slip-
per, but the. symbolic rites from which these
cflccts result are usually performed by chil-
dren and are regarded as a juvenile freak. ,
Orange blossoms and myrtle are often re-
placed by rosea lilies, violets and other
flowers, equally appropriate to any occa-
sion, While the veil Is sometimes entirely
omitted. The wedding cake has in par-

BRIDAL TOILET.
ticular degenerated most lamentably. Far
from cutting it herself, the bride seldom
even sees it, and it is brought from the con—
fectioner’s in the form of small slabs already
packed in white and silver boxes tied with
white ribbon and so delivered to the wed-
ding guest after the bridal couple have de-
parted. '
The custom of dressing the bridesmaids
in white is also falling into disuse, and with
some Show of reason, for it is. entirely suit-
able that white should be left for the bride’s
toilet solely. Delicate pinks, blues and yel-
lows not only set off by contrast her snowy
apparel, but lend a superficial checrfulness
to the bridal procession, which it is well to
encourage in the modern wedding, usually
almost as melancholy an occasion as a fu-
neral. « . .
To be married in traveling costume is a.
convenient and oflfhand method, but as the
white regalia is one of the few poetic sur-
vivals in an age of hard facts, and a woman
can array herself in it but once in her life,
it seems rather a. pity when she does not.
wear it on the one occasion. A sketch is
given of the bride’s gown at a recent Paris
wedding. It is of ivory white satin mer-
veilleux and has a bell skirt with piped
seams and a round train. The bottom of
the skirt is trimmed with a fiounce of gui-
pure festooned with pique-ts of orange blos-
soms. The round bodice is slightly draped
in front'and has a wide guipure collar,
while. the large sleeves consist of a. puff
reaching to the elbow, where it is finished
by a licence of lace. A tulle veil is worn,
secured by an orange spray. . .

Black Is Much In Evidence In the New
Spring Headwear.
Hats are of medium size this season, and
bonncts are small. The combination of
black vith rich carmine shades claims as
prominent a place in spring millinery as it
has held all winter. Black ismuch in evi-
dence in all the new headgear. almost every-
thing displayed consisting in part at least
of some blackmatcria]. llack lace is par—
ticularly popular, and much jet and many
spanglcs are used.

of skeleton arrangement of steel or gold
and black beads, while the tiny brim con-
sists of a frill of plaited lace, and the trim-
ming is made up of some bits of black vcl—
vet, the two inevitable mercury Wings in
steel or gold and an aigret of one or the
other metal. Birds’ bodies and wings are
very little seen, and as they are easily de-
faced and always in bad taste it is to be
hoped that they have permanently retired
from popular favor. Ostrich tips are much
used, and with jet and velvet are the pre—
ferred trimming. a . ' . ' .
Some fine lace straws have been brought
out in black and colors, butvblack lace hats
are most fashionable at present and a num-
ber of them are shown. The lace Used is
mainly of the fine, light quality or is jetted ’
or Spangled—the plain, heavy guipure .so
much employed of late is losing its prestige.
Moire piece silk is utilized as atrimming
on many of the spring hats, out on the bias
for bows or gathered to form a soft crown,
and the effect is rather good. The low
crown of one lace trimmed hat was quite
covered by a broad silk bow set flat upon it.
Beside the Spangled mercury wings before
alluded to, some pretty ornaments are
shown composed of balls larger than a fil-
bert, also 'made of overlapping spangles.
These are placed on stems and mixed with
metal aigrets, or are twisted in with the
trimming and are a pleasing novelty.
' iA sketch is given of a hat the brim of
which is composed of black lace embroid-
ered with jet and black spangles. The soft
crown is of black moire, gathered together
in the middle of the top by a jet ornament.

HOW FASHION
Vagaries of Hairdressing Often Seriously
Handi‘pap a Pretty-Woman. '
A woman who does not dress her hair. on
the top of her head should never wear a
crownless bonnet. The only excuse for the
existence of such a paradoxical sort of head
‘covering is the display through the open
crown of a. pretty arrangement of. the hair“
. filling up the empty space. Even in that
case they are‘not suitable for anything ex-

conceal it. ._
Nothing external so much affects a wom-
an’s appearance as the arrangement-of hex

what style of coiffure best suits her face
and then keep to it permanently without
regard to the vagaries of fashion. It is as-
tonishing what a fright a woman w‘ill some-
. times make of herself for the ébke of being 1
in the mode. If heavy fringes are in vogue,
the woman with the 10w Greek forehead
cuts off her front hair on a level with her
eyebrows, thereby concealing gher chief
beauty. If pompadour fashionslrule,‘-fore-
heads that would put the portraits of
Shakespeare to the blush are unblenching-
1y exposed, without a curl to soften their
boldness. In fashion,as in love ‘and war,
discretion is the better part of valdr. '
The favorite hairornaments at present
are small swords with plain, jeweled 'or
enameled hilts. They are 6 or 7 inches long
and are used also as hatpins by persons who
do not object to the havoc made by the
blade. They may be obtained in beth sil-
ver and gold. Bands and bows of velvet
and ribbon are also worn, although prettily
dressed hair really requires no decbration
other. than itself. Anillustratlon is given
of a. graceful coiil’ure intended to accom-
pany a. full dress toilet. The front hair is
curled, while the back hair is waved and
rolled over ina twist at the back of the
head. It is then secured on the crown in
two loose puffs surmounted by an erect
loop, and the ends are allowed to escape in
short curls. The ornaments are pearls,
which are twisted in with the puff arrange-
ment. J UDIC CHOLLET.

Fashions of the First Empire. .
The taste for all that recalls the time of

upon interior decoration. The rigid forms

isr. But the revival has stopped at the
verge of the dominion of dress, and there
seems to be no prospect of the adoption of
the empire gown in its genuine short waist-
ed form. .The prevailing influence is shown
only in subordinate ways that do not ma-
terially affect the stiff corsaged mode to
which we are accustomed. Not only is the-
empire fashion a trying.r one for many wom—
en, but the eye has become so used to the
long bodice contracting below the bust that
it refuses to recognize the beauty of the
high girdle. ‘
For influence, in the novel ball costume
illustrated, an empire flavor, as it were, is
given by the full drapery across the bosom
and the cut of the t0p of the sleeve, which
allows it to fall below the point (if the
shoulder, but the tight modern waist is rer
tained, which at once robs the gown of any
historically distinctive character and leaves
the field open to the free play of fancy in
regard to the other features. The skirt is
bell shaped and is made of satin soleil. It
is cut in deep slashes, which open to display
a. flounce of mechlin lace over cream satin.
Chains of pearls are festooned around the
skirt, fastened at the top of each slash by
an amethyst cabochon surrounded by bril-
liants. The top of the skirt is caughtup
in‘ front by a cabochon and forms pannier.
like puffs over the- hips where it'meets the
bodice. The lower part of the bodice is of
lace, while the balloon sleeves and the
drapery across the bust are of liberty velvet.
The corsage, like- the skirt, is ornamented
witha garniture of strings of. pearls, secured
at the bosom and on the top of the sleeves
by cabochons.
Sleeves are seen on all the decollete cor-
sages and show no indications of diminish-
ing. If there is any change, they are be-
coming morc ample. The shoulders are
usually finished with butterfly knots of rib-
bon, or wide berthas trimmed with lace are
gathered full' at the top of the sleeve and
allowed to fall over it. Bretelles and rosettes.~
are also used on evening tbilets. Brilliant
eifects are sought after just now; hence the
popularity of satin and moire and the adop

as plain velvets are, thus used with excel—
juncts are cunningly contrived so that they
are adjustable and may thereby serve their
turn with several different gowns. Heavy
- black or white lace is also seen, laid in lint
bands on the goods, or perhaps over a ban:

is gathered to form abouifnut corsage trim-
ming.
The English do not seem to take as kind-
ly to light and airy effects as do the Amer-
icans and the French. Redfern shows a
spring design which seems severely simple
after the frills and f urbelows of the gen-
erally prevailing mode. It is made of fawn
colored vignone, fine and of light weight.
The bell skirt is plain except for the wide
facing , of vignone which is stitched on
around the bottom and the four stitched
straps of spinach green cloth which adorn
the front just above the facing and are
fastened down at the ends by fawn colored
crochet buttons. The bodice, which is ex-
tremely long and tight in the usual Eng-
' lish style, has a rather short basque, and a
strap of green cloth follows the waist line
above each hip and is buttoned in place.
The revers of the fawn colored corsage ex-
tend t6 the waist and display an open waist-
coat of green cloth that parts over a green
plastron which, with the standing collar,
is embroidered with fawn colored cord.
The bouffant sleeves have flaring cuffs of
green cloth, and a green velvet toque com-
pletes the costume. J UDIC CHOLLET.
TOILET-S OF CEREMONY.
IiIoire Leads In Popularity Both In the
Plain and Striped Varieties.
Silk stuffs are much in vogue this spring
for gowns intended for afternoon receptions
and other occasions of ceremony where full
dress is not admissible. Moire leads in pop-
striped varieties, while satin, peau do sole
and bengaiine are also worn, but plain
appeared from the fashionable wardrobe.
Elaborate costumes made of line woolen

BROWN AND MAUVE PRINCESS COSTUME.
1y. There are a certain number of novelties
put out every season that for some reason,
good or bad, do not hit the fashionable
fancy, and so the shelves of the shops are
clogged with them.
There are occasionally, on the contrary,
other novelties that at once spring so unex-
pectedly into popular favor that dealers find
their stock of the goods running out during
the very height of the demand for it. As it
takes about six weeks to order and obtain
goods from manufacturers in the other:
hemisphere, establishments are often timid
about sending for another lot, fearing that
by the time the second consignment ar-
rives the popularity of the material will
have waned.
Sleeves of different material from that of
the gown are still seen, especially on elabo-
rate toilets. Rich fabrics, of Which a. Wide
variety is shown this spring, are used for
this purpose and are also employed for the
bertha or the front of the corsage and ocean
sionally to form a panel in the skirt. Fine
brocades and damasks are thus utilized,
and both plain and embroidered velvets,
while the body of the gown is of silk or
wool goods. A charming costume made 'of
hazel nut brown drap dc sole is cut in prins
cess form and closes invisibly in front. The
