After Pinocchio
Hood’s Snronparilln Gave Perfect
Health.
“Since I was 1!) years old I have been troubled
with asthma. Five years ago I had pneumonia.
and this left. me with the asihmn worse than,
before. I tried nanny remedies with only slight
relief. Some nights 1 would get little sleep, and
sometimes i: was
impossible to Lie Down
and 1' had to be bolstered up in feed. t was
very hard for me to breathe and many times I
thought the next brooch would be my last.
Just after one of these spells i noticed a testis
menial of one who had suhorcd like. myself and
had been cured by Hood’s bursa parilla. I then

was gone and shortly I was able to lie down at
night. I have since taken six bottles and never
enjoyed life so much for years. I now out cud
sleep well. and do not have that tired fcehng.

Corduroy in the regulation beaver, gray
and brown shades has reappeared this sea.-

a. variety of colors as silk vclvots and are
really beautiful in tint and texture. They
are much more. sorriconblc for ordinary
wcarthnu velvet, being nnnfi‘octcd by wa-
ter, and are wider and for less costly, but
these virtues are not sulliciont to relegate
them to a. despised ;_n:-;~:ition in the ward-
robe. Velvctecn is often combined with
fine wool goods in iznporto'l street gowns
and is frequently eixiliroid. rod in patterns
for trimming purpns-z .:. Besides the plain
varieties sold by the yard there are a. num-

V’ELVET AXD SURAH COSTUME.
Besides the more subdued
shades for gowns and dress trimmings,
cherry, turquoise, lavender and all the
brilliant and delicate tints now fashiona-
blcvin silk vclvcts may be obtained in -
veteen, although for what purpose these
light colors are utilized it would be hard
to guess, sineo there is tin insurmountable
prejudice against using velveteen in mil-
cry.
As for velvets, the display is dazzling.
Cherry, bright green and purple stand
forth in fashionable prominence, a twist
'or knot of one of these colors being a. fa-
vorite adornment of hats and bonncts.
Prices this year are exceptionally low, and
brilliant shades, which are usually more
costly than dark ones, are now sold at the
same valuation. Silk plushcs have also
come down surprisingly, fino qualities be—
ing offered at less than half the former
price.
Since china- silks came into such unl-
versal popularity surnh has retired into the
background, being used mainly for lin-
ings, and oven for that purpose being of-
ten superseded by glacc changeable silks.
It‘ seems to be regaining favor, however,
as it is seen in many of the new Parisian
designs. Gauze evening gowns are often
made up over undordrcsscs of surah, and
it is now beginning to form a part of more
elaborate costumes.
a. gown the skirt of which is of accordion
plaitcd sumh, Russian green in color. A
second skirt of vclvct of the same shade
falls over it and is caught up on the left
side by a. rosette of ivory silk cropon. A
gathered belt of crcpon surrounds the waist
of the tight velvet bodice, the upper part
of which is covered with a puffed drapery
of empon bordered on the lower edge by
an accordion pluited frill of sumln Sim-
ilar frills pass over the shoulders, forming
epaulets at the top of the balloon sleeves
of crepon. A wrinkle crepon collar finishes
the neck. J L'DIC CHOLLET.

that that they have been so vigorously

of various sizes are shown at nburgnin,
while all sorts of pretty pottery and chino,
useful as well as decorative, are begging
to be bought. One of the most attractive
novelties is a. pottery jar the size and
shape of a. grape fruit, curiously shaded
with ynllow and green like a half ripe
gourd and decorated with gold medallions.
There are also shown some new J upancsc

gel of silk at the tip. The J apancse artl
ficial flowers sold for decorative purposes
are really wonderful. The blooming cher-
ry branches are especially noticeable for
the fidelity of reproduction. Japanese art-
ists have a pMiculnr fondness for fruit
blossoms, and the cherry is a favorite, be-
ing copied by them more frequently than
any other flower except the Chrysanthe-
mmn '
A great many French and Viennese glass
and metal novelties are imported by estab-
lishments making nspecialt-y of them, and
things may often be found there which
are. never seen at the large fancy goods
houses generally patronized. Some beauti-
ful vases and rose bowls of water green
glass are exhibited, both plain and deco-
rated with embossed garlands in gold, be~
' sides a variety of cupsand saucers, trays
and similar articles of-flnc china sprinkled
all over with tiny roses, pdnsiescr forget-
menots. Also there are marvelously life-
like little birds und animals made of metal
and enameled in the natural colors. These
are most artistically done. ‘ -
A sketch is given of a fancy bag havin
a square bottom and triangular sides, in-
side of which is the gathered bag of silk..
The stiff bottom and sides, which are all
in one piece. and nrobe‘nt into shape, are
covered with silk or plush, and the edge is
finished with a cord. Each triangle has a
sprig of flowers embroidered upon it, and
the lower corners are adorned with small
bows of ribbon. J umc CHOLLET.

Flowered goods are “the thing" this
summer, both with woven and stamped
figures. Satin princess comes in all the
delicate evening shades brocadcd with
small flowers in their natural, brilliant col-
ors. Changeable moircs are also shown
with damassc floral effects, and black
moircs with tapestry flower designs.
Striped ohintz patterns are reproduced in
silk weaves, the stripes being in satin of
delicate tones mingled with tiny sprays or
bouquets. Then comes the vast array of
tafletns arid surahs, having self colored
bands and clusters of flowers and leaves in
a. woven pattern. Those are also shown in
in variety of changeable tints, and in that
case the figure has a different tone from
that of the ground. In addition to these
appear the usual printed india. and china
silks—cool, pretty and inexpensive—for
summer gowns, and yet wearing very well.

FIGURED INDIA SILK GOWN.
Besides the flowered silks mentioned
there are many challics prettily sprinkled
. with floral designs, and, daintiest of n11,
' French organdios in white and delicate
tints embroidered with dots and printed
with nosegays or detached blossoms.
Those, combined with lace, make chann-
lng summer gowns. Of course the popu-
lu'ity of those flimsy fabrics has produced
styles suited to them, involving pufi's, ruf-
fles, pannicrs, draperies and shirrlngs of
all sorts. As usual, these special fashions
favor the slender woman rather than the
plump one, but the latter can always fall
back on the tailor made styles, which are
hers particularly, and which are not only
neat, but simple. Novices often proclaim
that plain styles are more difficult to make
successfully than furbelowod ones, but it
is nevertheless a. fact that a much trimmed
gown badly made looks worse than a sim-
ple one equally badly made, for it has the
additional drawback of protentlousncss.
A sketch is given of a. gown of printed
indln silk, the skirt of which is plain in
‘ front, but slightly draped at the back.
The round bodice is gathered in at the
waist and has n munrc laco yoke outlined
with a silk radio. The sleeves, which have
a puff above the elbow, are tight below it
A velvet ribbon bolt
surrounds the waist, from which depend
two long ends. Four velvet rosettes trim
the bottom of the front of the skirt.

suoufnsns—ON THE SLANT.
The Newest Puflb Are Innocent of Gathers
at the Top.
It is evident that sloping shoulders are
to be the fashion for some time to come.
Sleeves began to come down from their
lofty position ovcra year ago, and this sea.-
son marks another stage in their descent.
The newest puffs are cut in circular form,
so that while they are full around the el-
bow they are quite innocent of gathers at
the top. , A style of sleeve is now shown
in which the upper part is laid in flat
tucks and is sufficiently elongated to ex-
tend completely over the shoulder and up
to the collar. This gives the slanting ef-
fect with a vengeance, and if, it were not
a fashionable novelty it; would be consid-
ered ugly, but- no doubt we shall soon be-
come used to it. It is a suitable mode for
the women with broad, square shoulders,
who, so long the accepted mold of form,
finds herself suddenly bereft of her prefiigc
and under the necessity of simulating the

slenderor type. Many puffed sleeves are
caught up with embroidered straps ex-
tending from the shoulder to the bottom
of the puff, ‘and usually a. berths. or open-
let falls 0‘ .- the top. It is not unsafe
to predict :i gradual return Of the shawl
to fashionable favor unless present tend-
encies are abruptly and. unexpectedly
checked. The new jacket sleeves are full
at the top, it; is true, but the fullness is laid
in a. double or triple box plait on the top
of the shoulder, which keeps it flat there
while allowing a boufi'ant spread below
that point.
Capes are usually cut in circular form,
which causes them to lie flat over the shoul-
ders, although they fall in ample folds over
the back and arms. Very often 'a breadth
of extra fullness isinsorted behind, nota-
bly in a thin black cloth cape, which had
a gathered panel of moire let into the
back. These capes are searcolyas attract-
ive as those made entirely of moire, how-
ever. The latter are often cheapened in
wartime by a. trimming of white lace,"
but when black is used the effect is very
good. Moire is not serviceable for general
wear, of , course, and therefore a. num-
ber of cloth capes are shown, mainly
in black. A sketch is‘given of one which
was made to match a severe walking cos-
tume. It is composed of three graduated
circular capes, very flaring and plainly fin—
ished with stitching. The garment has a

are also sold for children’s wear and are
always pretty and suitable, whether the
scarlet mixture be selected or the darker
ones of blue, green or brown. The red
plaids are soft in color in spite of their
brightness and are very pretty for young

of narrow black velvet ribbon. Little

they Are Very Fetching, and a Sun Um-
brella Goes 'With Them.
Among the light woolen fabrics intend-
ed for serviceable wear, covert cloth is the
first favorite. In fawn, gray and tan
shades it is much used for tailor made
gowns as well as for thin outer jackets
and is a. pleasing change from the monot-
onous alternative of serge or glossy finished
goods, the two materials most in vogue
for the past few years. Trimmed with the

huge carved mother of pearl buttons now
so fashionable—'rwhitc, clouded or irides-
cent—and finished with neat rows of
stitching, these covert cloth costumes are
confessedly “smart, ” as the phrase goes,
and extremely useful for city, seaside or
mountain wear. The stuff is thin and
light in weight, and if it; is simply made
and lined with silk and linen material it
will be found not too heavy for ordinary
warm weather. Sun umbrellas having
white handles terminated by dresden balls
have been brought out to go with these
goods. They are covered with silk woven
in tiny checks of white, with gray, tan or
brown, with sometimes an intermingling
of more conspicuous colors, such as dark
blue, garnet or bufi'. Those umbrellas roll
up into remarkably small compass and are
provided with tight cases of the same silk
and big white silk tassels. ' Plain white
linen collar and cuffs and a hat of mixed
straw commend themselves as adjuncts of
the covert cloth gown,thc wearer of which
mayfcel equally at ease in sunshine and
shower, provided her boots are in no dan-
ger of becoming damp. Boots are an ex-
tremely sensitive part; of a woman’s anat~
omy. One wet-ting destroys forever the
perfection of their fit and stiflens them
into dull unpliability.
Speaking of boots, patent leather retains
its popuhrity and is much worn in both
buttoned and laced boots, but the latter
are nhost invariably cut in the blucher
style. It is hardly possible to find a. fine
laced boot of the once ordinary cut. High
heels have quite gone out for street wear.
Those made of leather lifts are referred
to, for no woman with any pretense to
good taste ever wore the wooden kid cov-
ered heels anywhere except in the house
or in her carriage.
A sketch is given of a. covert cloth gown
having a. plain bell skirt and a. ‘round
waist, over which is a. tightly fitting Eton
jacket lapping'diagonally over the chest,
where it is fastened by three large pearl
buttons. The gigotjslceves have 3130 three
buttonsnt the wrist. Rows of stitching
