Wedding Dresses. Waists, Figured Mate

Chiffon is the leading material for
wedding dresses, worn chiefly, how
ever, by youthful brides, while young
ladies past the budding season or
those more mature, are apt to choose
some statlier frabric, such as Olgo, a
crepe de Chine with high glossy sur
face, or crepe de Chine with a slight
twill, or the genuine material ia its
own peculiar attractiveness, and some
of the most elegant gowns of the
season have been in crepe de Chine
embroidered to order. Satin likewise
remains in style, but is not a fre
quent selection, and the same can be
asserted of lace. Quite pretty and
comparatively inexpensive gowns are
made of fine veiling trimmed with
lace.
TRANSPARENT YOKES
of lace or chiffon or both in combina
tion, appear on bridal dresses of every
description and sleeves are finished
in keeping, angel drapery also being
still in greater favor. The heavier
class of fabrics are sometimes made
in princess style, when a fine figure
may admit the same. Trains are
round and of course vary in length
according to fancy, and veils usually
of tulle, are very long and kept in
position by a garland of flowers end
ing in two sprays at the back and for
such purpose, orange buds and blos
soms lead, though any small white
flower can be substituted, the usual
choice in place of orange blossoms
being lilies of the valley, or 8tar of
Bethlehem flowers. Bridesmaids
sometimes wear lilies of the valley,
and for them any pietty sheer mate-
terial, especially net, is appropriate.
At a recent wedding, the bridesmaids
wore pink net, made low neck and
short sleeves, with picture hats of
roses.
WHITE WAISTS
have opened on us like a swarm of
locusts, devouring before them all
colors in cotton or linen, except a few
infrequent ones in solid colors em
broidered, this in turn bringing about
an immense demand for wash silk
waists in stripes. They are extreme
ly pretty, and notable, girls can buy
the material at a low price and turn
out attractive garments that cost but
little. Fancy materials in floral or
striped patterns, or perhaps both,
are made up in entire dresses. They
are frequent, but after all, through
out dress in general, there is a marked
preference for plain goods embroid
ered, rather than fancy patterns. Of
course the delightful varieties in
mousseline, lawn, etc., must com
mand a place for themselves, and
Challies this year, almost compete
and much thinner than formerly,
with satin stripes, can hardy be
called a utility material. Depart
ment stores have large exhibits of
I
shirt waist suits in checked or dotted
light weight silks and they are com
paratively cheap, because needing no
laundering and very cool. They come
from $12 to about $18, the former
giving something nice. Of course the
home dressmaker can do still better.
In
MILLINERY,
the distinction between utility hats
and those for dressy wear, becomes
all the while more apparent, the
former, masculine, severe, flowers or
anything feminine, an abomination,
the latter delightful embodiments of
all that is soft and lovely; emana
tions, as it were, from gardens of
Eden and the wearers, soft ana iovely
(or endeavoring to be) as so many
ideal Eves. The former, aggressive
exponents of twentieth century ideas,
which impel women to boldly com
pete in the business world as in out
door pasttimes. Sailor hats are ridi
culous, in name at least, since no
sailor could wear the broad head
coverings with high saucer-like
brims, catching every breath of
wind and needing strong pinning t"'
thick coils of hair.
“Dolly V.” Your inquiry in re
spect to the best finish for skirt
edges, at hand yesterday. Y'our best
selection will be the S. H. & M. new
velvet braid, which lies perfectly flat
to the skirt, gives an elegant finish
and is preferred by dressmakers, be
cause it can be put on by one sewing
only. Thus much time is saved and
ladies appreciate the fact that with
its use, they can avoid defacement of
footwear.
“May R.” The choice of a Monte
Carlo coat in cream white canvas,
would be suitable to your youth and
fresh complexion, giving also greater
bnadth to your too slender figure.
Monte Carlo coats are extremely fash
ionable and come in increasing va
riety and lengths. Almost any plain
material is suitable and new ones
show embroidery that is a rage.
“Editor Friend.” Homespun in
brown or grey checks, is the leading
material for sack coats, though serg^
is also in demand. In ties, gray is
the leading color and four-in-band,
the fashionable shape. For outing
dress, a small black bow is worn.

To save a life, Dr. T. (i. Merritt, of
No. Mehoopany, Fa., 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.

GIRL’S TRAGIC DEATH.
•ragged at Top Speed For Half Mila
by Wild Colt
Rome, N. Y.. May 27.—With a halter
rope tied around her wrist and a
frightened eolt running at top speed,
Rena Webster, of Northwestern, was
dragged a half mile over a rough high
way and killed.
Miss Webster, who was 20 years of
age. led the colt out to allow it to eat
in the highway. While tho animal
was feeding -nhe sait down by the road-
8b]*e and engaged in sewing. To pre
vent the animal from getting away,
she fastened the end of the long halter
rope to her wrist.
The colt suddenly became frightened
and ran away. Miss Webster was
dragged headlong into the roadway,
and the horse ran into the village of
Northwestern, dragging the girl at the
end of the rope.
Mr. Joseph Pominville, of Still
water, Minn., after having spent over
$2,000 with the best doctors for
stomach trouble, without relief, was
advised by his druggist, Mr. Alex.
Richard, to try a box of Chamber
lain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets.
He did so, and is a well man today.
If troubled with indigestion, bad taste
in the mouth, lack of appetite or
constipation, give these Tablet! a
trial, and you are certain to be more
than pleased with the result. For
