m. Wm Gained Four Pounds A Week MRS. LUCY M. COOPER, 79 Carlton Are., Brooklyn, N. Y., Gained Four Pounds a Week, Thanks to DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY “I have used Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey for the past 18 years, and can truthfully say it has cured me on several occasions of the prip, and once of n severe attack of rheuma tism. I gained in st l ength and flesh, gaining four pounds a week. 1 Miove if any one used buil v’s Pure Malt Whiskey they would not have any s< rious illness. It will keep oiF a cold, or cure one. I am sixty-one years old, and don’t h>ok more than 4'J. " 1 have recom mended it to many of my friends, and all say it helped them, and are satisfied with its heneiits. I think it the finest stimulant in tiie world, and would not be without it.” Mrs. Lucy M. Cooper. Mrs. C'Kux'r once rccom ended it to a stranger W HO H AD CONSUMPTION and w ho was seized with a paroxysm of coughing. AY hen ho finally stop}>ed coughing he replied: ‘‘I have tried everything, madam, and have lost all faith in doctors and drugs, but 1 will take your advice.” Several months after this she met the stranger, who said: “Madam, I want to thank you for saving my life the day you told me to take Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. You are the best doctor I ever knew. 1 am now able to attend to business, and my cough has disappeared.” He is now a well man, and goes to his office daily. Sirs. Cooper spoke to him through pity when siie saw his condition, and is glad to know she helped him. DUFFY’S PUKE MALT WHISKEY is invaluable for overworked men, delicate women and sickly children. It strengthens and sustains the system, is a promoter of good health and longevity, makes the old young and keeps the young strong. Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey is the only whiskey recognized by the Government as a medicine. This is a guarantee. ^ , . . , Pure Malt Whiskey exclusively. WOMEN AND SOCIETY. S’FAl K3 H C AM RES.

This later ma terial is considered very smart for the trim walking suit in the Norfolk or “corset” coat style, and the main decoration lies in stitchings, and motifs of plain fabrics, introduced to match one of the flecks in the ma terials. Equally delightful are the looser makes of hopsacks and coarser voiles, which adapt themselves so well to the gauged style, both in yoke and hip piece, and it must be here remembered that close fabrics and strappings are giving way to looser gaugings and textures.
