I dreaded from one time to another so much that I almost wanted to die. “ Our family physician did everything he could for me, but I got no relief.

How the Woman of Modest Means Must Plan—Correct Outdoor Dress and for Social Functions. Never was there a normal woman who did not wish to dress well. What dressing well means is determined by each one for herself. In the early stages it probably meant unlimited fig leaves, and a little later a new pelt from this or that animal or a new style in a garment woven of the bark of trees. t • 1 Such simplicity has unfortunately come to an end. The point has been reached where a woman cannot dress as she pleases, but must please to dress like the majority of women. It Is a blessed dispensation that she usually likes to be in the fashion, or somewhere near it, and feels it no hardship to conform to prevailing modes. In fact, she usually likes it. Her chief difficulty is how to manage to conform when she has not enough money to do it on. Appropriate dressing should he an easy matter for the woman whq has a generous allowance for her \Vard- robe. Then It la her own fault if she does not have suitable costumes for every emergency. Appropriate dressing is also without complica tions for the women who never go anywhere except to church, and whose needs are supplied by working frocks and one gown for best. Even such an one doubtless thinks she has her troubles, but they are as nothing to those of the woman who must, so to speak, serve two masters—or who, in other words, must fill moie func tions than those of the housekeeper and church goer, and must dress for these other things without exceeding a comparatively small sum. Such a woman finds dressing well more or less of a problem—usually more rather than less. To women like this the fashion of separate skirts and waists has come as a positive boon. In the days when one must have a whole gown of one material, dressing was more complex even than now. Every one whose memory goes back to those times ran recall how the waists gave out before the skirts and left one with a supply of the latter In tolerable order and a painful dearth of the former. Now, when one has a skirt of which the body part Is worthy, a shirt waist can he made to take the place of the outworn garment. Even with this expedient It Is still possible for women to make mistakes In their dressing. One of the chief of these they commit when they buy conspicuous clothing. (I am speak ing now of the woman who must wear one gown a long time.) The striking effect may he charming at first, but before the frock or the hat or the coat is half worn out the wo-, man who wears it and the friends! who see her wear it are tired to; death of it. Another blunder that women make sometimes is in buying articles of ap- 1 parel which will not go together well. We all know the woman who has bought a snuff colored gown and a drab jacket, or a dark green gown and a hat trimmed with a blue that makes a discord of tints that set the teeth on edge. The woman who must economize on her clothing must buy things that go together well and ever piece of her attire must be se lected, not for its beauty alone, but because it will harmonize with the rest of her costume. Simple styles should also he cho sen by the woman who can have only a limited wardrobe. Extremes in fashion should be avoided. There is the same objection to these that there is to the startling effects to which I referred a moment ago. More than this, such a woman should study well what suits her. Because a certain garment looks well in a fashion plate or on a figure in a show window, it does not follow that it will do as much on every woman. One would not believe the blunders which women will make, did not one see illustrations of such “breaks” on every side. The stout women who wear light fabrics of large and flar ing patterns, the slim “slanky” wo men who adopt styles with long, se vere lines, the short dumpy figures that cut themselves in two in the middle by conspicuous belts or by a glaring contrast between the hues of the stuff of the skirt and the waist, encompass us about on every side. The tailor is the best friend of the woman who must be economical about her clothes. A tailor made gown, if the style in which it is fash ioned is carefully chosen, is likely to suit almost any figure. Its simplicity disarms criticism and renders It ap propriate for nearly any occasion ex cept one where full dress in required. The woman who has a tailor made skirt and jacket of good cut can let her fancy go a bit in the matter of shirt waists. She may have them plain and serviceable for morning wear, dressy and frilly for calling or the theatre or small social affairs, and she may seek a compromise be tween the two for a waist to wear to church or lectures. And with each and all of them there may he worn the same skirt and no one will com ment upon the persistency with which it appears, so long as the waist is what it should he and the skirt it self is not startling in color or in style. Black is a boon to the woman who can afford only one or two new cos tumes a year. She must buy good black in the first place and then, if she takes tolerable care of it, it will look well always. For the women who object to black, (and there are such women) there are dark blue, dark green, dark brown and the other indeterminate shades or mixtures that are plentiful. With one good tailor made gown of heavy weight for winter wear, another of lighter material for spring and fall, and shirt waists, plain and dressy, at discre tion, a woman may feel provided for, even if she goes out a great deal. One sensible woman of my ac quaintance makes it a rule not to have more than two ordinary gowns on hand at one time. As soon as the first one begins to lose its original freshness, she buys another and takes number one Into service for second best. By the time this is wholly past worthy the second gown is ready to retreat to a more retired position and to yield the field to a new costume. The only objection to 'his In tailor made frocks Is that the jackets are likely to accumulate until there are more on hand than on * can wear out. So It is as well to break the sequence by an additional skirt. All this is for the plain house or street dress. When one comes to evening dress the matter is more complicated. Even here the separate waist comes in as a respectable makeshift. I know a woman who considers herself fortunate in own ing a handsome black broadcloth gown, which she wears on state oc casions, at receptions and teas When she goes to a dinner where full dress is essential she exchanges the thick broadcloth waist for a low- necked bodice of chiffon and crepe de chine, but the black broadcloth skirt is still worn. If she could, she would indulge herself in a heavy silk skirt, hut as she cannot, she relies upon the combination I have described. The same spirit of compromise must be practiced all through the wardrobe of the woman of slender means. The woman who is able to ride in her own carriage or to sum mon one from a livery stable when ever she goes out to dinner or to the theatre may treat herself to a long light wrap to throw over her dinner gown. But she who thinks herself lucky If she is able to allow herself a new winter coat once in two or three years must restrain her desire for such pomps and vanities. Her cold weather outer garment may be long, but it must he dark enough to make It suitable for street wear. If she chooses to follow her fancy in the matter of dainty linings, well and good, but the outward appearance of the cloak must be sober and sub dued. After all, one of the best aids to appropriateness of dress is found in consistency. A woman does not wish to order her clothing on the princi ple of the tramp who when asked what were his needs in the line of dress, replied, “I kin get along with out a clean shirt, hut I’m dyin’ for want of a buzzom pin.” There is something almost ludi crously out of place in seeing a wo man in very elaborate street dress , when one knows that, her home cos tume is woefully untidy and shabby, A light or dressy picture hat is not in its proper locality on the head of a woman who must wear the plainest or ready made costumes. Above all it does not pay to put so much money into dress that one must neglect cer- tain things which would benefit the body that the dress is to clothe. A woman must keep well before she can look well. If she must choose be tween a new evening gown and the means to induce her to take out door exercise she makes a big mistake when she decides for the finery and lets the other thing go. I he body is a good ileal more than raiment and there is more to a good woman who has trained her body and improved her complexion by athletic occupations—by long walks, by horse back riding, by bicycling, by such game as golf and tennis, and has known enough to take cure of her health after she gets It, is pretty like ly to look well if she must dress sim ply. Bearing this in mind, she will | come to the conclusion that she makes a better Investment when she buys the right sort of an outing suit than when she puts money into a party gown. What such an outing costume should be I will try to tell next week. Genius has always received more applause than it has money. MBS. CECELIA STOWE, Orator, Entre Nous Club. 176 Warren Avenue, Chicago, III., Oct. 22,1902. For nearly four years I suffered from ovarian troubles. The doc tor insisted on an operation as the only way to get well. I, however, strongly objected to an operation. My husband felt disheartened as well as I, for home with a sick woman is a disconsolate place at liest. A friendly druggist advised him to get a Dottle of Wine of Cardui for me to try, and he did so. I began to Improve in a few davs and my recovex y was very rapid. With- in eighteen weeks 1 was another being. Mrs. Stowe's letter shows every woman how a home is saddened by completely that sick- female weaknes and how completely Wine of Cardui cures that sick ness and brings health and happi- suffer- ness again, ing.
