Softly b-autiful is the typical wed ding gown. Materials are dreamy in their own peculiar refinement and in many cases, two of different character are combined in a maze of intricacy that to the average onlooker, seems an impossible combination. Such is the case in regard to lovely Presses of silk net showing effective dots at rather long intervals and combined with Irish point. The two are made over chiffon that again lies over silk and as may be divined great softness is the result. Some net gowns are trimmed with narrow ribbon shirred; velvet passementerie is also used and chenille may add a rich adornment Liberty satin or crepe de chine are chosen frequently as bridal fabrics; chiffon cloth, a comparatively sub stantial variety of the well known material and lace in elegant entirety, are other favorite materials. Orange blossoms are often now combined with tiny ferns and as a rival to the conventional flower, may be men tioned iillies of the valley or very small white roses. FURS, as presented by 0. C. Shayne, are even more attractive than formerly, since adventitious finishings give peculiar elegance. Such are hand some passementeries with drooping pendants and rare fringes and equally novel are revers or yokes of silk show ing rich embroidery. A wide leap has been made from high collars to ooilarless garments, for which doubt less the transparent yokes of the summer were a prelude. Women with characteristic adaptability, seem capable of any performance or any deprivation in the cause of fashion, hut for those who must have throat protection of fur, unusual assort ments of small accessories with styl ish stole fronts or otherwise, are seen in numbers. Sometimes the gar ment is provided with a shoulder cape that may if desired, be removed to add warmth. Small neck pieces which can be folded like a gentle man’s tie, are among new presenta tions. In SHAPE, new fur garments show much variety. Some are long and fit closely in coat shape ; others are loose in box con tour or much choice is given in short garments belled in with blouse fronts. Persian lamb or broad tail are very fashionable, but not to the exclusion of seal that in its sott, rich brown, remains attractive as ever. Mink and squirrel fur are seen, but chiefly as long, flat boas, accessories on muffs that this year have assumed really huge proportions. Most of them are finished with ermine and p^eenente^e sod tn general, the finishing of one fur on another gives peculiar dressiness. Shayne offers remarkable bargains in every depart ment this year, in view of great en largement of stock, consequent on the anticipated completion of his new ten-story addition, by which bis pres ent imposing quarters will be en larged to a still greater extent. evening dresses: It is evident that spangles are to play aq important part in evening gowns and beautiful examples are fairly showered by glittering addit ions in all new colors on delightful combinations of the same. As purple is a leading color for day wear, its reflex is seen in amethyst for evening and one of the most captivating dresses noted at an important exhibi tion, was in a pale pinkish purple, profusely finished by spangles on the same order. It is worthy of note moreover, that among twelve exquis ite concert gowns to be worn by Mme. Patti, spangles were prominent and a beautiful example in pale pink chiffon was richly spangled. A de lightful finish was given by pink chiffon in a brighter shade, made into fuchsias that almost formed the very short sleeve and were pendent on the corsage. The neck was low round and the skirt tight around the waist with moderate train. “Mrs. O.” Angel drapery remains very fashionable for evening sleeves. Generally speaking, there is much liberty regarding sleeves for evening, some being merely a strap with pen dante; again the sleeve may be a puff nearly to the elbow or may show a completion of long, floating drapery below. Lucy Carter. STRONG, VIGOROUS MAN Liable to Break Sure to Down—Pe-ru-na is Restore. ffon. Frank Dunn, Alderman Twenty-Fourth District, writes from 232 East Fifty-Eighth Street, New York City: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: ' Gentlemen: ••There Is no remedy for a broken-down system that 1 know of which will so effectually restore health as Peruna. ••Whenever 1 am overworked or suffer from the consequences of a cold a few doses of Peruna builds me up again more quickly than anything 1 ever tried. I find It especially valuable for catarrh.

A TONIC Is a medicine that gives tone to some part of the system. There are different kinds of tonics, but the tonic most needed in this country, where catarrh is so prevalent, is a tonic that operates on the mucous mem branes. Pemna is a tonic to the mucous mem branes of the whole body. It gives tone to the capillary circulation which con stitutes these delicate membranes. Peruna is a specific In its operation upon the mucous membrane. It is a tonic that strikes at the root of all ca tarrhal affections. It gives tone to the minute blood vessels and the terminal nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long where Peruna is used intelligently. Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid den parts of the body. Paul Landrum writing from Atlanta, Ga., says: “In January last I began the use of your Peruna and Manalin for what was termed organic heart trouble. At that time I could scarcely walk to my place of business without stopping to rest and on arrival felt completely exhausted. Had severe pains in my heart and general dizziness. After using the first bottle of Peruna I liegan to improve and today I feel that I am a sound man and I work fourteen Lours a day without any had feeling.”—Paul Landrum. A. M. Ikerd, ar crry ’oyeo of the C. B. A Q. It. It., Wes* Burliiivton, la., writes: “I had catarrh of the stomach and small intestines for a number of years.

I could hardly stand it, it was so offensive. I could not eat anything without great misery, and I gradually grew worse. “Finally I got one of your books, and concluded I would try Peruna, and thank God, I found a relief and a euro for that dreadful disease. I took five bottles of Peruna and two of Manalin, and I now feel like a new man. There is nothing better than Peruna, and I keep a bottle in my house all the time.”—A. M. Ikerd.
