Thoie Shown In the Xerreat Spring? Gown Models. Plaited and gathered skirts are made over entirely plain separate linings, hut those skirts which are simply gathered at the hack or plaited there are lined in Uie usual manner, the lining being attached to the inside of the skirt. Silk is the most expensive and lightest lining, hut not the most serviceable for ordinary wear, as it soou cuts through and tears easily. There are many substi? tutes made of cotton which answer the purpose, but light weight moreen is prob PRINCESS GOWN. ably the best and most durable of any lining for woolen gowns for general use. Of course silk or elaborate cloth cos? tumes require n silk lining. Skirts cut in the circular style are aban? doned. The circular flounce is still worn, but the newest gown models have the skirt cut in breadths, and the hack is laid in a single or double box plait or iu stitched side plaits. In thin summer goods it is often gathered. The picture shows a princess gown of mastic cloth. At each fide of the tablier are three plaits, and the back is laid in two box plaits. The fronts of the bodice are triple, corresponding with the three plaits of the skirt. The revers of the middle vest are of pink silk; those of the other two brown velvet. The chemisette is of pink silk; the belt of brown velvet, closing with a chon. The sleeves have three revers at the wrist, corresponding to the revers of the front. A pink ntons seline cravat is worn. The hat of mastic straw is trimmed with hrown velvet, a jeweled ornament and white feathers. l*ink flowers are placed under the brim, JVDIC CltOM.BT.

JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energizer. is the greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. U comes as a rich blessing from heaven to the " worn out." the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor ana despondency which arise from badly nour? ished nei ves, from thin, vitiated blood and an anaerfed body, vanish as if by a magic spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the spring? time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and r.erve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness' generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve, tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it makes rich, red, honest Mood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith? ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to treat Salt Rheum. Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the speciftc germs of the disease. But in this way. every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth? ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru? lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed and destroyed. It of:en seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de? cay and death to seme vitai organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION 1 Every particle of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and vitalizer of the blood. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex? haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals, and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is the life." Good health means pure blood. Ths old and reliable remedy. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov? ered. This fact is now established beyond question cr cavil. BLOOD POISON CURED BY JOONSTOX'S SAZgAFARILLA. Byron, Mich.. October 31. ?694.
