WOMEN AND SOCIETY.
[All cormnuhlrutinnH to this column should

For early spring wear the tailor
made idea still prevails, the gowns
on the whole showing a far greater
simplicity than has been the case for
the past few seasons. Our illustra
tion show* a gown of dark blue zibe-
iiue, the Eton showing a very novel
effect in the way of stitching. The
jacket is cut without a collar and the
revers a ay be either of striped silk
or trimmed with straps. The skirt is
cut with a yoke below which are wide
rucks stitched down with white cor-
ticelli stitching silk.
(ju'te a new material is the double-
faced linen which wil! undoubtedly
arrive at the height of popularity
during the summer and will be em
ployed to evolve some very fetching
gowns. Very little trimming is re
quired on them as the reverse side of
the linen will answer admirably for
this purpose. A wide latitude is
given tbe skirts, although tbe funda
mental principle—flaring at the hem
—is still adhered to. This effect is
gained in different ways, either with
curved seams or with a flounce, and
is sometimes still further increased
with clusters of tucks, or with small
inset panels at the nera of contrast
ing material and color. It stands to
reason that heavy goods like home-
spun, tweed and mixed fabrics in gen
eral will make up much more satis
factorily in a plain, gored skirt.

How it 1* Done.
The first object in life with the
American people is to “get richthe
second, how to regain good health.
The first can be obtained by honesty,
energy aud saving; the second, (good
health) by using Green's August

sufferer from any of tbe effects of
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Appen
dicitis. Indigestion, etc., such as Sick
Headache, Palpitation of the Heart,
Sour Stomach, Habitur.l Costiveness.
Dizziness of tbe Head, Nervous Pros-
iratioo, Low Spirits, etc., you need
not suffer another day. Two doses
of the well known August Flower will
relieve you at once. Go to Cherokee
Drug Co. and get a sample bottle free.

been most satisfactory.
