Bays Hood’s Sarsapar'illa is a sul-
Iing and Valuable Remedy. '3
Mr. E. A. Norris
: Fitchburg, Mass.
A man who has had nearly half a. century of
experience in newspaper life is certainly capa-
ble of judging between the valuable and the
worthless. Hence we highly value the follow-
ing statement from Mr. Erasmus A. Norris oi
Fitchburg, for nearly 50 years editor of Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire newspapers:
" C. I. Hood & 00., Lowell, Mass:
“Gentlemen: In 1887, after a sickness oi
wo years, Iwas given up by our best physi-
cians, who considered my case hopeless, my
age, 65,being against me. But by taking Hood’s
Sarsaparilla I was able to get about and do a
little light work. It seems almost amiraclc, in
my case, that after using Hood’s Sarsaparilla
in the fall, on the first day of January I engaged
for the city of Fitchburg to take the record of
the births. Iaccomplished this with compara-
tive case, being out in the
Unusually Severe Weather
of winter, working each day, and have been
able to do a fair day's work every day since.
Several members of my family have taken
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and always with marked
benefit. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is as staple as
HoodlssaiirCures
flour in our house, and its presence almost as in-
dispensable. I find that nearly every medicine
deteriorates, but Heed’s' keeps up the quality
all these years that I have known it. It is cer-
tainly a'sterling and invaluable remedy. I can
hardly imagine what I should have done without
it." 'ERASMUS A. NORRIS, No. 7 Lincoln St

PRETTY corms COSTUMES.- 'f‘
Duck Suits Will Be 5...... Won. the Com-
ing Season. _
Duck suits are being much worn. Last
' year plain white, and black and white, and.
blue and white stripes were almost the
only varieties to be found, but this season
there are many‘more kinds. Those cos-
tumes are usually made up with a plain
skirt and a close fitting Eton jacket or
DUCK JACKET.
short blazgr and are trimmed with braid
of various sorts or rows of stitching. They
are very uScful, as the goods have substance
enough not to become limp after one wear-
ing, and yet may be washed as frequently
as is necessary and come forth from the
ordeal as good as new. A white duck suit
is very.prctty worn over a blouse of deli-
cately tinted wash silk. W’hltc nainsook
blouses are also worn, having frillings em-
broidered with scarlet, lavender, blue or
yellow. These waists are belted in, and
the lower part doe-3 not show below the
girdle. They are made with and with‘
out yokes, but usually have a ruflic down
the front. Standing collars are more used
than they were last ypar, when turn back
collars and cuffs prevailed. Shirt waists
are also seen finisncd exactly like men’s
shirts and stiffly starehed.
Wide belts are worn this season and have
neat open work Clasps in sterling silver
and silver and gold plate. These Clasps
may al§o be obtained separately and come
in sets consisting of a buckle, hook and
slide. Sometimes asmall buckle for the
neck is included. Woven silk and canvas
belts ’come in numerous shades, and when
it is desired to have the belt match the
gown the firm bodied belting may be cov-
ered with a piece of the goods. This is a
better plan than that of making a belt
over lining material, as the latter is apt to
lose its stiffness and wilt down into an un-
tidy string. ' .
A sketch is given of a. duck jacket in-
tended to form part of a costume. It fits
closely behind, but is straight in front,
where it is ornamented with two rows of
The gigot sleeves have
pointed cuffs, and the standing collar is
flaring. The jacket is conspicuous through
the absence of rovers, which are usually a
prominent feature. It is finished with rows
of stitching. J UDIC CHOLLET.
NEW SHAPES IN STRAW HATS.
Those ‘Vith the Corners Turned Back Like .
\Vings Are Popular.
Among the many shapes in which straw
hats appear this season a few are shown
with the fantastically small crowns prev-'
alcnt a year or two ago. Crowns having
a lengthwise crease along the top similar
to those of soft felt hats are also seen and
are appropriate enough to the coarse braid-
ed straw in which they are made up. A
» BLOCK HAT.
favorite device with small bonnets is to
cut straight into the flaring brim in front,
turning the two corners back likcvwings.
Bonnet shapes are displayed made of gui-
pure stretched over a light wire found..-
tion, and the same process is employed
with beaded and. Spangled not. These
shapes require very little trimming, but
most of the other head coverings seen are
overloaded with flowers, feathers, lace and
ribbons. A very beautiful hat, suitable
for carriage (‘1' garden party wear, was
composed of coarse rose colored straw. It
had a wide brim that. was bent becoming-
ly and was trimmed with large pink roses
and their leaves. Another picturesque hat
. was of fine black straw and was loaded
with curling black ostrich plumes, while
two long ends of wide black satin ribbon
depended from the back. Some of the prot-
tiest hats are those made of wide braid in
which colored or white chip is woven in
with the straw, either natural or tinted.
The blendings are done with remarkably
good taste, and when flowers are used as
trimming the effect is charming. Leghorn
flats, which seem to never go entirely out
of fashion, are fairly well represented this
season, although they are eclipsed by the
new straws already mentioned. The brim
is always more or less bent and profuse
trimming employed.
Double faced satin ribbon is the milli-
ner’s favorite at present and is much soft-
er and richer in appearance than moire,
although the latter is likewise used. A
weave has also been brought out combin-
ing a. satin face and moire back.
Bonnet strings are usually over an inch
wide and are made of velvet ribbon as a
rule. Small black bonnets composed of a
jet crown, with a-frill of black lace for a
brim, and trimmed with a Spangled orna-
ment and a tiny twist of cherry velvet are
much worn. These little knots of brilliant
velvet are an effective way of enlivening
a black hat, but ribbon cannot be success-
fully utilized in the same way, as it at
once assumes a flat and shabby look when
it is twisted.
A sketch is given of a but made of black
rice straw. It is trimmed with SpangledL
tulle and black ostrich plumes and has
strings of black velvet ribbon. A spray
of flowers is placed at the back of the brim,
posting on the hair. J umc CHOLLF’lh'

.A’MOMENT OF SWEET RELEASE.
It Comes ‘Vhen a. woman Don‘s Street
Dress For Dressing Gown. \
A woman may declare as much as she
likes that her ordinary costume does not
cause her any discomfort and may thrust
both fists up under her bodice to prove
that in spite of its wrinkleless fit it is too
large for her, and the skeptical observer
may be staggered by this feat. But Dr.
Charles Reade exposed the fallacy of that
demonstration long acre, and the woman
feels, although she doesn’t admit it, that
the moment when she exchanges her pub-
.1 . . A?
ROSE comuub DRESSING GOWN.
lic attire for her dressing gown is a mo-
ment of sweet release. It has been confi-
dently stated for many‘ycars past that lit-
erary ladies wear their dressing gowns all
day, afl'd although this is not known posi-
tively to be a fact it is safe to take it for
granted that if a woman is the author of a
particularly meritorious article, poem or
novel she wrote it under the fostering in‘
fluence of the dressing gown. '
Thin wrapper flannel is the most suita-
ble goods for this garment. It comes in
plain tints, stripes, plaids and figures,
through the entire gamut of colors. Deli-
cate tones are usually preferred, both for
dressing gowns and for the comfortable
little breakfast jackets so much worn. The
latter are made with a fitted back and loose
front, and when they are trimmed with a
fluff of lace around the shoulders and a
knot of ribbon here and there they are as
pretty as anybody need desire.
Pongeo is a. good material for asummer'
dressing gown, although it is better to
have a flannel one at hand all the year
round. The pretty blue and white japa-
neso cottons are also utilized for this pur-
pose, madc up in the fashion of kimonos.
These have the additional merit of being
washable, and they are certainly pictur-
esque.

STRIPES FOR SUMMER.
French Chambrziy of All Colors \Vill Ba
Popular This Year.
A number of pretty cotton fabrics are
shown this season in a variety of dainty
colorings and delicate designs, and cm-
broidcry may usually be found in the
general stOck to go with them when they
. are not specially accompanied by such
trimming. A great many stripes are seen,
a pleasing example being a yellow and
white thin French elmmbra-y. These chain

brays come in pink, blue, green, holiotropo
and buff, embroidered with black as well
as plain, and are much used for tea. gowns.
For the sliecrer fabrics a great deal of va-
lencienncs lace is employed as trimming.
Dotted nainsook, mull, figured organdic
and linen-lawn are made up into extreme-
ly pretty gowns thus decorated, although
for linen goods fine torchon lace always
seems preferable. Linen makes an ideal
summer gown, and although it is more
expensive than cotton fabrics it wears re-
markably well and looks npw as long as it
lasts. It is also much used for morning
jackets, which are elaborately frilled and
puffed. .
The flowered organdies already men-
tioned, which come in all delicate shades,
are often made up in as costly a fashion
as higher priced goods and in such a way
as to preclude laundering.
Dotted. muslins, formerly to be found
only in white, come this season in various
colors, scarlet included. A muslin gown,
of this color may be prettily trimmed with
knots of black velvet ribbon, while for
paler colors black or white lace is employ-

of the vest extends in long ‘ sash ends be-
low the waist. There is a yoke shaped
trimming around thoshoulders, consisting
of a. double frill of lace headed bya'flat
band of the same, and bretellw of satin
ribbon are carried down on each side to
the ribbon belt. The sleeves have a bald

below the elbow they are tight and are

MANY YOKE‘SV FOR WOMEN.
They‘ll-ova Displeasin‘g, however, For
They Are of Lace and Ribbon.
Changeable silks and velvcts have by no
means retired from public favor. Some of
the new velvetecns are shown with a
changeable effect, and even twillcd worst-
ed dress materials of this season often
show the warp and woof of different colors
similar to the style of goods prevalent last
year. The fashion of making up black net
or lace over changeable silk was a short
lived one, although there seems to be no
reason why it should not last as long as
the separate materials are still popular.
Net, howcvm‘, is not so much used as it
was, and the kind most favored is heavy
and has a coarse iesh.
A great many yokes are worp, not only
separate ones of lacc'and ribbon used as
accessories of plain toilets,but yokes form-
ing a part of the bodice. They may be
round, square or pointed in shape and are
' often covered plainly with guipure, the edge '

being outlined by a bertha or some other
sort of trimming. Sometimes the bodice
has jacket fronts opening over a vest made
with a yoke. The present fashion of trim-
ming the cor-sage with a bcrtha of lace or
~ other material gives the yoke effect to even
an otherwise plain bodice and is a style to
be ’ avoided by short, stout women, ‘as it
broadens the shoulders and decreases the
apparent height. The same cfl‘cct of short.
ness is produced by the double skirts now
insidiously creeping into favor. They are
clumsy and heavy, moreover, but are des-
tined to ultimately supplant plain skirts,
although the latter hdld their own as yet.
Sometimes the overskirt is only simulated
by a line of trimming, but more often it
is real. It may be draped, or it may ‘fall
straight, allowing only a small portion of
the lower skirt to be seen. A separate
skirt or peplum is sometimes worn over
a plain skirt, giving the overskirt effect,
which may be dispensed with at pleasure.
A, sketch is given of a costume com-
posed of old rose and blue changeable vel-
vet and old rose peau dc soic. The front
of the peau dc soie skirt is cut in an irreg‘
ular point, showing an undershirt of ye]-
vet. The edge of the silk skirt is embroid-’
cred with gold beads, while the bottom of
the gown is bordered with a velvet ruch-
ing. The round-velvet ,bodicc has a plain
back, but in front it is gathered in at the
waist and has a deep silk yoke outlined
with a velvet rushing. The sleeves have a
full 1111‘ of velvet from shoulder to elbow,
but t 0 lower part is close fitting and cov-
ered with a wrinkled arrangement of peau
dc soic. The bodice hooks invisibly on the
left shoulder and under the arm. _

New Fans, New Gloves and a New Colfl'ure
\Vith a Dragon Fly.
A number of beautiful folding fans are
shown this season. There is a 'return to
the watteau fashion of delicately painted
medallions depicting rural or country
scenes, and the body of the fan upon which
these medallions are set is of gauze or lace
decorated with ornamental patterns or
adorned with small spangles of gold or
silver. These and fans, difl'ercnt in style,
but similar in dainty elaboration, seem to
be obtaining the ascendancy over the large
ones made of curling ostrich plumes,which
were not long ago the reigning favorites.
Among the pretty things shown for the
neck are adjust-able yokes or wide collars
composed of alternate lengthwise bands of
lace insertion and satin ribbon. They are
pointed back and front and are trimmed
with frills of lace around the edge. The
feather boa is still imported and ofl‘ercd
