All Communications to this column should lie addressed to 1*. O. Box 304.1 Our illustration shows u waist of white glace afTeta, with elaborate dec orations of applique on 'ancy sailor collar extending over the tops of the sleeves, which disp’av elaborate trim ming of novdtv blue and w’hite silk braid, diminutive buttons and ap pliques. The waist is in plaited effect, adorned with br»id and buttons, and 14a ' the salient feature is a royal blue Sappho satin neck scarf with fringes f f white chenille. Turnovers of cuffs to match, and belt stitched with Cor- ticelli silk and crossed at the back in oddly-shaped postilions complete this very dainty bodice. The separate waist has by no means met with the relegation to the back ground prophesied for it. By a grad ual evolution from an article of severe lines to one of artistic shaping, it has established itself as a necessity, and is not only constructed in fancy silk, all over laces, and thin woolens, but is also made in materials to match the skirt for general street wear. The shirt-waisc suits ic moire, taffeta and velvet are an embodiment of both style and art. Dark blue, black, and the neutral shades in brown, are the preferred colors for these costumes. Light tans or even creams are con sidered stylish, while the woman who prefers something more quiet, will be most likely to select a medium brown or a prettv blue. Trimmings have been a feature of the past winter gowns and they are to be more so fur th* 3 rnri' g and summer costumes. Lace and silk embroideries will be in troduced wherever there is a possible excuse for them. Still the trimming must never bo over elaborate, (luffs promise to be a feature of all the newest fashions; even the plainest walking gowns are being made with conspicuous cuffs. The collars also display the same trimming as the cuff; they are flat io shape and many are cut low in front. Mrs. Martin Brian, who has been visiting her brother, Capt. J. B. Bell, has returned to Yorkville. * ♦ ♦ ♦ j Mrs W. B. DuPre has returned l from a pleasant visit to Spartanburg. Miss Violet Moorehead is visiting friends in the city. Mrs. Gilbert Wylie has returned to her home in Buffalo section. The many friends of Miss Laura Duff will be glad to learn that she is convalescent, after a most serious illness. Belated Kindness. Mr. Smith (in street car)—Madam, take my seat. Mrs. Jones (who has been standing fifteen minutes)—No, thanks. I get off at the next corner. Mr. Smith—That’s all right. So do I. —Chicago Journal. No Use at All. He (who has offended her)—Won’t you look up at me? She—If I did, you’d kiss me again. He—No; honest, I won’t. She—Then what’s the use?—Life. A Reminder. Dearborn—What have you got that string tied about your finger for? Wabash—Oh, I’ve been getting mar ried, and my wife doesn’t want me to forget it.—Boston Herald. Hypocrisy becomes a necessity for those who live scandalously.—DeFinod. There may be something significant in the fact that oo one has yet dared to construct a verse from the excel lent material in the line ’’Four more for Theodore.” A Startling Tent, To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling test, resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, "a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. I had of ten found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles, so I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first, and has not had an attack in 14 months.” Electric Bitters are positively guaranteed for Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Constipation and Kidney troubles. Try them.

There is one enemy for which the pansy lover most watch like a lynx, and that is a little green worm that seems made on purpose to devour pan sies. Where lie comes from or why lie I should exist at all is a mystery. But | if you find your little plants stop grow- i ing and see the leaves perforated with small holes and your blossoms guaw’cd behold, your enemy is there. Eternal vigilance alone will save you. Your face must be brought to the surface of the ground. Kneel and turn up every leaf. Doubtless you will find the small green monster curled up and hiding, sucking out ail the juices of the plant and so becoming exactly its color, which makes him so difficult to find, and if not checked lie will utterly de stroy it. lie will devour it in a few days. The Hoy. A boy is an odd piece of furniture, but he is the ground and chief ingre dient of the man. Delude not yourself with the belief that the hoy is not all he pretends to be, for lie is a great deal more. He is an incomprehensible fel low to any one but another boy, and because lie will presently grow into the awkward between hay and grass period that separates boyhood from manhood, and to a lumbering idiot then, don’t signify that he is an idiot now. lie never is. But his chrysalis state fetters him and makes him seem like one sometimes. The boy is all right. BANNER 3A LYE the most healing salve in the world.
