| larly Effective Medicine. William A. Franklin, of the Frank- lin & Palmer Chemical Co., Rochester, N. Y., writes: “Seven years ago I was suffering very much through the (eat Sd failure of the kid- ig Ne BAN neys to eliminate ¥ ee the uric acid from Nh my system. My . Bib back was very lame and ached if I overexerted myself in the least degree. At times I was weighed down with a feeling of languor and depression and suffered continually from annoying ir- regularities of the kidney secretions. I procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and began using them. I found prompt relief from the aching ana lameness in my back, and by the time I had taken three boxes I was cured of all irregularities.” Sold by all dealers; 50 cents a box.

The editor was looking over a poem that had been submitted by the local bard. “I see you bring in an'‘old figure of speech,” he said, “when you describe the maiden as listening to the lover's avowal with ‘eyes of flame.’ Think of the absurdity of it. How can any- body’s eyes b e‘flame?’” “Her’s seem to have been, all right,” contended the poet. “If you will read a little further you will see that she fired him.” ‘ PATENTS.

A Japanese Lawn Party Fully De- scribed—Appropriate Decorations and Refreshments—Simple Weddings Approved. A reader requests full instructions for a Japanese lawn party, and I hope the following will answer the pur- pose: Of course for decorations there must be an abundance of lanterns, and umbrellas may be suspended over booths where tea both hot and cold may be dispensed. In Japan this would be the only beverage, but I suppose to quench the thirst of our American citizens there must be all: sorts of iced drinks, a table for frappe and small tables for cream and ices. Doilies, mats, and a great variety of Japanese napkins can be purchased, also lan- terns in all sorts of odd shapes and sizes. The invitations could be writ- ten upon tiny Japanese fans which are very inexpensive when purchased in large quantities. Another form of in- vitations would be to write them on Japanese napkins and then fold them in odd forms. Those in charge of the affair should wear kimonas and do the hair “a la Japan,” with innu- merable ornaments. The flags of Japan should figure in the decorations, and the small ones should be offered for sale or given as souvenirs, if ex- pense is no object. Over the gateway and porches bamboo fishing poles could be crossed, and from them suspend lan- terns. Burn red fire at intervals from dark corners of the lawn, and a fringe of firecrackers would be orna- mental on the verandas. The Japanese are great lovers of flowers, especially the cherry and chrysanthemum blossoms; those of paper are effective, and they cannot be too much in evidence. As a novelty boiled rice could be served in small blue bowls. Candied ginger coeoanut and pineaple are fa- vorites with the Japanese. An orchestra of stringed instruments would add much to the affair, and the Japs play a game with bean bags which could be suited to the occasion. Yellow should be a predominating color, and bowls of gold fish would help carry out Japanese characteristics. A clever way to fill in a half-hour is to pass papers bearing at the top these words: ‘“‘What we do not know.” For the men here is a sample of the questions, and the hostess will easily see how she may fit more questions to the individuality of her guests. “How would you make out a dinner menu for six persons, your allowance being two dollars and a half? Give items.” “How would you make and trim a lingerie waist?” “What is meant by a gored skirt, and what is applique?” For the ladies give questions like these: ‘What is meant by double en- try?” “What would you do with a draft for $100?” “What would you do if a rich man and a poér man proposed at the same time?” At an informal party of congenia! people this will af- ford much amusement. Speaking of engagements, there is a decided trend toward a marked sim- plicity in weddings, even among the people who could afford all the . ad- juncts. It is now quite the thing to write personal notes to those whom one wishes to be present at the ceremony, and to send out cards for a reception afterwards, or merely to send an- nouncements, giving the bride’s ‘at home” days and the new address. There are still a number of “show- ers,” and pre-nuptial affairs, but they are confined exclusively to the very intimate friends of the bride, and are given in a most informal manner. Many of these affairs are held in the even- ing, so the men may participate in the fun, and the lucky man is allowed to feel as if he was in it, too.

A Little Indulgence of Fancy in Re- gard to Women Who Prefer Certain Scents. Women’s characteristics and weak- nesses are betrayed by their perfumes. There are few who do not use a scent of some kind in their toilets. Some of them throw a few drops in the bath; others place sachets plentifully about their rooms and a modern no- tion is to place sachet pads between the mattress and the sheets. A violet-scented atmosphere _ be- tokens a woman of lovable nature. Such a woman is always fond of vio- lets. The dainty, neat woman has a pref- erence for heliotrope. She dislikes fuss or notoriety. Imaginative, warm-hearted women use rare perfume. They are apt to be extravagant. Lavender will probably be found in the home of the woman of high aims, who loves exactitude. Strong perfumes are used by the ambitious and strong-willed. The woman who delights in musk and kin- dred perfumes will probably be mean- spirited. Hot Water and a Cold Cream. Don’t try to put cold cream on a cold skin or the absorption will not be thorough. Nice Toilet Water. Elder flower water. Distilled water..... -2 ounces rich laces are inserated between ef- fective bits of needlework. Other materials which figure in the prettiest of the white blouses are plain mull, embroidered Swiss, batiste, dim- ity, etc. The model of the hour, as far as simplicity goes, is infantile in es- Sence. A slightly gathered blouse but- toned at the back, with elbow sleeves, and a high unlined stock, is the form favored. The full, short puff of the sleeves ‘is very coquettish, the various trimmings used being always put on in some charming way at the bottom. The elbow sleeves may even be trimmed over the entire length, if the model is a specially dressy one, and with Irish lace and embroidery narrow Valen- ciennes will provide the finishing touch. With the handsomest coat gowns in cloth, veiling or silk, these lingerie waists will be worn, and to accord with the tailor genre of the costume there is now a new style of collar for some of the blouses. This is a stiff turnover of plain or embroidered linen which fastens with a. manish tie of fine Swiss trimmed with narrow Val- enciennes, but in this case the waist is generally colored. Apropos of color, there are some very charming shirts or more tailor genre in straw, old-rose and blue linen. These are provided for black gowns, and a very smart wrinkle, if the ma- terial can be had, is to have the wide girdle in the same material. Some imported shirts seen had wide match- ing belts, even the huge, square buckle of the front being covered with the linen. The collars of these were all of the high, stiff sort, the same em- broideries which were used upon the bodice and upon the cuffs of the sleeves, which were long in this in- stance, being used upon the turnover. Such shirtwaists are turned out by the French entirely for practical wear and the moment one takes to fancier touches it is called a blouse. The more inexpensive of the blouses are those which are machine made, though even upon these will show hand em- broideries. The sleeves of these are long, a full puff fitting into a long cuff, upon which the embroidery shows. Very pretty and quite cheap white bod- ices are made over silk of plain and spotted nets, with cluny or torchon trimmings.—Chicago Chronicle, COLLAR AND CUFF SET. The Neckwear Is of Much Impor- tance—Stamps a Costume Perhaps More Than Any Other Detail. We are showing a set of pretty lit- tle collar and cuffs, which skillful fin- gers may make from very fine lawn. If of the latter the most expensive kind be chosen a great outlay will not be necessary, as such a small quanti- ty is needed; indeed, one-quarter yard of 22-inch material would be more than enough with which to fash- ion two sets. Observe that the cuffs are deeply pointed to accommodate themselves to the deep sleeve cuffs now in vogue. é The design should first be enlarged to the size required to fit the neck, which in most cases would measure DAINTY AND TRIM. from 12% to 13% inches long, and for the sleeves from 7 to 8 inches. Outline this firmly and clearly in ink upon paper, then place the lawn ‘or muslin upon it, and trace through a pencil. For working, use white embroidery cotton or filoselle washing silk in a dainty shade to match the blouse with which they are intended to be worn. The center circle is outlined in tiny feather-stitch, also the line heading the worked border. The _ scalloped edge is, of course, done closely in buttonhole-stitch, and the tiny dots are formed of French knots. When all the details are finished carefully cut away the lawn from the button- holed edge, and complete by sewing on a double band of lawn to them to go inside ithe neck and sleeves. Drink Lots of Water. Don’t neglect drinking water and plenty of it. Many a woman suffers from an ugly, blotched complexion who could remedy the trouble by drinking plenty of water and eating fresh fruit. ‘ When Eyes Are Tired, A handkerchief wet in undiluted witch hazel and placed over the closed eyes while lying down will take away all tired feeling.

Mountains, ; | One of the \ Shot Big Mountain Lion. seen in Oklahoma for years, measur- ing over nine feet from tip to tip and weighing 175 pounds, was killed in a cave in the gyp hills, near here, by George Steubenvilie of Okeene. He came upon the lion unexpected- ly, while exploring’ the cave with a party of friends, and was armed only with a twenty-two calibre revolver. It had been known for some weeks that a marauder of some sort, presumably a mountain lion, was playing havoc with poultry and calves. It had been seen disappearing in the darkness sev- eral times, but no one had gone near enough to get a shot at it. Steubenville was the only one of the party who was armed at all when they came upon the beast, which was evidently prepared to put up a stiff fight. The cave was dimly lighted by a lantern carried by the exploring party, which made good marksmanship difficult, but Steubenville was fortu- nate enough io hit the panther in the eye, killing it instantly.

I come dot Mexico thru.” Time to Quit. “Now,” shouted the socialistic street orator, “let us ask ourselves calmly, “What is the question of the hour with the working man?’” “Usually,” replied the observant cit- izen, “it’s, ‘I say, is it near knocking- off time yet?” Feminine Charity.
