I ThjH E?I?T? New York City.?The demand for fancy waists increases month by month. The May Manton model illustrated exemplifies the latest features and is suited alike to the entire cos woman's panct waist.tume and the odd skirt. Panne vol- 1 vet, satin sultan, taffeta and still newer panne plush, are all suitable for , the latter, all dress materials for the > former; but as shown the waist is 1 made from soft-finished white taffeta 1 in combination with cream guipure 1 over white and pale yellow panne velvet. The foundation is a fitted lining that Closes at the centre front and should U f -trill . A STORM be carefully boned. The back proper I fits smoothly across the shoulders and \ is drawn down In fulness at the waist i line. The lace plastron Is attached f to the right lining front included in t the shoulder seam and hooks over t Into place at the left. Single bos pleats are formed on the edges of the fronts, 1 a second being invisibly applied at f evenly spaced distance. The trimming t of velvet-edged insertion passes i around the back at round yoke depth 1 and finishes in pointed ends over the 1 pleats in front. Soft decorative straps 1 of velvet In graduated widths hold the 1 fronts in position as illustrated. The < >-s. sleeves are In bishop style, finished < \^.witb pointed cuffs. At the neck is a i stocc collar that curves upward in 1 stylish points. To cut this waist for a woman of 1 medium size three and a quarte- yards < of material twenty-one inches wide, or ( one and three-eighth yards forty-four inches "wide, will be required, with ' three-quarter yard eighteen inches wide for plastron, and two and threequarter yards of insertion and oo'* yard of panne velvet to trim as illustrated. The New Storm Coat. The value of the coat that covers ' and protects the gowD is too completely self-evident to require urging. The exceedingly smart May Manton model shown in the large cut has the merit of being absolutely simple and practical, as well as in the latest style and can be made to serve for a general utility garment, or a wrap to wear 'j? over evening gowns, as well as for storm v weather. As illustrated the material Is waterproof cloth and the* cloak is adapted to damp days; but made from broadcloth and lined with wadded silk It becomes an entirely satisfactory "sortie du bal," and made from covert cloth or other suitable material is again transformed into a Btylish ulster or automobile coat. , i The back is seamless, but curved to the figure with ease and grace and Is joined to the fronts by means of under-arm gores. The box fronts are loose, and lap one over the other in double-breasted style, a generous patch pocket being placed on each side. Over the shoulders fall two circular capes and the neck is nnisuea wua u deep turn-over collar. The sleeves are two-seamed and comfortably snug .without being tight. ; To cut this coat for a woman of medium size six yards o( material r\<2 CA?klinM WI i 1 V^L J1 w 1 forty-four inches wide, or four anil three-quarter yards fifty inches wide, will be required. The Pinked-Out Ruche. Taffeta trims a white gauze flresq for a young girl in charming fashion. A ruching of taffeta with pinked-ou4 edges is put on very full at the hem of the skirt, which it causes to "bouiliouner," as the phrase goes, about ths feet. While silk is used for these pretty ruches. An all-white costume is the proper thing for a young girl in 1 ^on/1 >c cn Tvnrn pv?n 11U1 ill FK. OHUOUU, (IUU ?W ww when it happens slie "lights up"' better with a touch of vivid color. Thi-s Is supplied by means of "floral garni tures," as the pretentious expression goes. A Fine, Flimsy Affair. The single-raesli veil, a fine, filmy affair, is in demand just now in Pari9 and London. It will be right welcome on this side of the Atlantic if it supplants the ornate fancy tissues and fish-net caprices which make for ladies an effectual disguise. 4 A Young Girl'* Dreftft. The correct shade of pink or red cloth worn by young girls at receptions now goes by the name of "pale strawberry." Not a bad descriptive title. i Violets Still Popular. ^ Violets are still the most popular flowers worn; they are tied with gold ribbon, the ends finished with violet silk tassels. Woman's Breakfast Jacket. The breakfast jacket that is stylish and comfortable at the same time has w )ecome essential to every complete vardrobe. The May Manton inoik'l llustrated complies with all the retirements both of fashion and of lie wearer and is smart at tbe same ime that it means ease and comfort. The back is seamless, b'lt, together with the under-arm. gores, curves to It the figure gracefully. The centre 'ronts are laid in narrow tucks at the lpper portion and fall free heiow ine >ust. The fronts proper are also ucked at the shoulders and are joined to the centre portions beneath the :riinming, which can be embroidered on to the scalloped edge, or applied, as preferred. The sleevees are wellshaped, but not too snug for ease, and the scalloped lower edge flares over the hands. At the neck is a simple turn-over collar scalloped on its free edge, that can be worn with any style of necktie that may be chosen. To cut this jacket for a woman of medium size three yards of material twenty-seven inches wide, two and three-quarter yards thirty-two inches wide, or two yards forty-four inches wide, with three-quarter yards of contrasting color for centre fronts will be required, or three and three-quarter yards, twenty-seven inches wide, three Ip/ if 1BBEAKFAST JACKET. and a quarter yards thirty-two inches wide, or two and a half yards fortyfour inches wide when one material only is used. , 9 , . THE GREAT DESTROYER SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE. A. Hymn itor mo uwriu vuu^icm? jlho I Bartender Doesn't Drink Because He | Known Too Well the Vile Ingredient* of the Liquor He Sells. Gathered from the East and WestIsland, Continent and Zone, Unto Thee we make request, Worshiping before Thy throne: Lord! upon our Congress shine, Bless our work and own it Thine. For the temperance cause we meet, Heart with heart, and hand in hand. In each face a friend we greet? We are one united band: As our fathers were, so we, By Thy help, resolve to be! Give us love, and give us light. Knowledge, wisdom, strength and zeal Courage for unflinching fight With the foes of human weal: In this war is no release, Till the sacred conflict cease! Eirors habits, customs, laws, Making for an evil end? Ailthat checks the temperance cause, Vanquish, Lord, and it defend: May the throne of Bacchus fall, And Thy kingdom rule o'er all! For success old and new, Gladsome praises now we pay, And for greater work to do Arm and aid us, day by day: On our world-wide movement ehine! Speed it, Lord, for it is Thine! ?Dawson Burns, D. D. Why Bartenders Are Teetotalers. When one of our leading candy shops hires a new girl the rule is to say to her: "Now, Birdie, you may help yourself to the best there is in the house. Eat as much as you please. Eat morning, noon and night. Don't mind us. But you must not carry any away in packages." In a short time she is so surfeited that the thought of eating candy causes nausea. For quite a different reason the bartender does not drink. He knows too well the ingredients of his liquors. He is too familiar with blends and compounds. He is satiated with the constant vision of men putting the enemy to their mouths to steal nwoir hrains. The sicht of drunken ness fills him with disgust. I venture the assertion that the most abstemious class in this community is composed of the men behind the bar. The non-refilling bottle is unpopular with keepers of bars because it prevents the barman from putting his own compounds into packages bearing standard labels. One of the more noted restauranteurs in this city is openly charged by a wholesale liquor dealer with watering his whiskies. I dare say they all do it. The ''drinkin' is got to support the eatin'." Dealers in barroom and bottlers' supplies openly advertise essences and essential oils for the compounding of whiskies, just as other merchants advertise coloring matter for making white butter look rich and fit to cat. There are rye whisky essences, bourbon whisky essences, Scotch and Irish whisky essences, gin essences, rum essences, brandy essences, kummel essences and all kinds of bitters essences. A material called "Ageing" is sold for the purpose of "mellowing" and smoothing" liquors. A small quantity will impart to new liquors all the properties conferred by age in a cask. It is soft and agreeable to the palate, and gives not only age but bodv to the blend. When whisky is too dark or too light in color the correct shade is produced by a . "sugar coloring" which is guaranteed not to cloud or thicken by age. It is sold by the gallon. There are other artificial colorings for different drinks?scarlet, red, green, yellow and brown. There are sedative powders for clarifying wines. Other desideratums are glycerine, prune juice, cherry juice, isinglass and gelatine, rrot to forget bead oil, without which no progshop laboratory is complete. With bead oil you put the bead on. You may have heard of the bead on the rye. Full directions with each bottle. And labels.

Marie Edouard Vaillant, Socialist, one of the Deputies for the' Department of the Seine, moved a resolution calling upon the Government to prohibit the manufacture and eale of all alcoholic liquors pro-/ nounced "dangerous" by the Academy of Medicine. The resolution was aimed at absinthe, the consumption of which has nearly doubled in France since 1891, and now stands at 10,000,000 livres annually. TV.T Vaillnnt nrifl nthpro HpnniinppH the spread of absinthe drinking, and laid stress upon its ravages among the population. "The increase of consumption of abBinthe," said the mover of the resolution, "marches arm in arm. with the increase of cases of driveling insanity, which will end by becoming a national malady." The Chamber adopted the resolution unanimously. A Wise "Woman. "To-day is pay day and I'll be away from home," said the wife of a man lately converted in Grace Church. "And why are you away on pay day?" I asked. "Well, you see my husband knows that he will have extra trouble in keeping from the saloon when he gets paid, so he has asked me to come down and meet him at the door of the factory cach pay day, and go home with him." Wise man and wise woman. Result* the Same. The name given to strong drink in Africa is "Bhame water." The Maoris of New Zealand call it "Waiporo." or "rotten water." The American Indians'speak of it as "fire water." Thus, without scien* tific knowledge, these children of nature Viavp hv Tnicprnhlp pmeripnpe. arrived at the truth as to the real nature of alcohol, which modern science defines as "a cerebral narcotic poison." The Medical Point of View. If you can help it, don't onerate on a man who is drunk, especially if he appears to be a habitual drunkard. Drunkenness certainly seems to favor the occurrence of sepsis, owing to diminished resistance of the tissues, and shock occurs very readily. Besides this, delirium tremens may come ' on to complicate matters.?Journal of Inebriety. The Crusade in Brief. Wine unsettles the judgment. There are 104,636,404 gallons of whisky now ripening in bond in Scotland?an increase of more than seventy per cent, over the amount held five years ago. A man or woman who abstains is healthy and safe. A man or woman who indulges at all is unsafe. A man or woman who relics on alcohol is lost.?Sir B. W. Richardson, M. D. Resorting to the use of stimulants to secure strength is like placing a mortgage on one's property. It provides ready cash for the present, but sooner or later the mortgage must oc ioreciosea. More drown in wine than in water. A temperance restaurant has been opened in c<fhnection with the Jerry McAuley mission in Paris, and a religious roof garden, with daily and Sunday prayermeetings, has been inaugurated in New York. Lord Wolseley, of the British army, pleads with the English people not to treat the soldiers with liquor when they come home from the African war. The advice is good, and applies to Americans as well. Light wines?nothing so treacherous!

I Ornithologists have been much inter- I ested during the past few weeks by the appearance of the quail in Done- t gal County, says the Westminster Ga- " zette. The bird has been unknown in that part of Ireland for many years. | The disappearance of the quail from c Ireland is one of the standing ornitho- c logical puzzles of our islands. In the - early part of the century It was rainy plentiful, and no satisfactory ltasot I has been discovered for its departure. 1 Numerous attempts have been made Dj to induce it to return, but the imported ~ stock which has been turned out has [ always gone away within the season, y If quails should not come back of their ~ own accord we should have an omith- ? ological mystery of the most interesting kind. | "These are hard lines," mused the ghost as he read the inscription on his . tombstone.

The fatigue of body and mind disappears entirely while I all the muscles are strong and the nerves absolutely calm. Sleep ia the indication given by ature as a guide to numan plans to restore health. It shows that there are inherent in the wonderful human organism powers of recuperation which must have opportunity to assert themselves. Based on this clew demonstration, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy was constructed by Dr. Greene to help Nature combat the ills that attack men and women. What no amount of powerful drugs could possibly accomplish, can be successfully and promptly effected by healthy blood and nerves, the kind of blood which flows in strengthening flood to every portion of the body, the condition of nerves which permits awakened Nature to seize its opportunity to restore to perfect health.
