Paris Again Gay.
Some of the recent first nights in
Taris have been signalized by the
wearing of exceedingly good clothes.
This was particularly true of the
premiere of Jeanne d'Arc, a work new
to Paris, though not to London. "Half
toilettes," which were only to he dis
tinguished from the ante-bellum eve
ning gowns by the aforementioned use
of a film of tulle, were worn by all the
women ; and many of them appeared
in interesting and unusual head
dresses. Paris seems to feel the neces
sity of headgear with a semi-evening
fro(*K ; hence the introduction of nil
sorts of amusing arrangements. Orien

In tin- street, the Parish-line still
champions the frock and coat, or the
"''oat dress." All winter, satin has
been a favorite material for outdoor
tilings, interlined, of course, for
warmth, and simply slathered with
fur.
Satin will continue in favor and

signers and manufacturers equally
well, will he featured.
There really ought to he few wom
en with "the face" to knit in colored
wools for their own adornment, in
fliese days of crying demands from
the army and navy. But the slip-on
garment without sleeves lias taken
such a hold upon our affections that
it is difficult to think of abolishing it
altogether. Nor need we do so. Amer
ican designers, anxious to serve their
soldiers arid sailors in this vital mat
ter, have had the cleverness to offer
the same type of garment In mate
rials of which there is, ut present, iio
such pressing need.
Vests of flannels, of heavy shan
tungs and other rough weaves of silk,
even of satin, made almost exuctly
like the sweater vest of last summer,
have been made up and are being of
fered to women whose patriotic inten
tion might weaken if these novelties
were any less attractive than they
are. Jersey, both in wool and silk, is
another favorite material for them.
Jersey Weaves Taken Up.
In fact, jersey weaves have not in
the least diminished in popularity.
Tin* first wool Jersey woven in this
country was rather too reminiscent of
Fm-le Josh's red underwear to have
a success with fastidious women. But
the weave lias greatly improved.
As for the silk varieties, there is a
heavy sort, of vegetable fiber, which
is immensely satisfactory. It is heavy
and lustrous and not too stretchable.
It hangs in the rich, long folds that
cling to the figure and lends itself
particularly well to strictly one-piece
frocks or coats which hang from the
shoulders in an Oriental effect. Such
material is never lined, but it is worn
over a lining of some sort made espe
cially for it.
Paris is using tiiis heavy kind for
outdoor coats, some of them of the
slip-on over the head sort, which have
failed to achieve success with its, but
which site still fancies. Our hotels,
restaurants and houses are still, in
spite of threatened coal famine, so
wi Il-heafed, for the most part, that v.e
have retained our habit of slipping
off our outdoor garments at the

does not appeal to us; neither does
tin* French woman's way of getting

Cardui : "I was ... 1 -uffered with
n pain In my left side; could not sleep
at night for this pain—always in the
left side. My feet and legs were ter
ribly swollen. 1 was almost in bed.
My doctor told me to use t'ardui. I
took one bottle, which helped me, and
lifter my lmby came I was stronger and
better, but the pain was still there.
I nt first let it go, but I began to get
weak and in a run-down condition, so
I decided to try some more t'urdiii,
which 1 did. The last Cardui I took
made me much better, and, in fact,
cured me. It has been a number of
years, still I have no return of this
trouble. I feel it was Cardui that cured
me. and I recommend it as a splendid
female tonic."
If you feel weak, tired, worn-out, or
suffer from any of the ailments pecul
iar to women, try Cardui. the woman's
tonic. It must he a good medicine for l
women, for many thousands have vol

DENTIST'S IDEA OF HUMOR
Seems Mean to Invite a Man to Lunch
and Then Fix Him So He
Can't Eat.
It wan noon when we dropped into
the dentist's office. The doctor greeted
us cordially as we fell into His chair
and prepared to submit ourselves to
torture.
There was the usual clatter of in
struments on the white tray ns we
opened our juws and the dentist peer
ed into them. This time his object of
attention was the cavity from which
lie had recently extracted a tooth.
"What are you going to do after I
get through?" said the doctor mildly.
Between his fist and his mirror we
blurted out something about lunch.
"Go to lunch with me. will you?"
We nodded our assent and then it
happened. Something that felt as big
us a crowbar is and was as sharp as a
now safety razor blade is supposed to
be went tip into the roof of our mouth.
When we landed down again on the
chair and tlie pain had cased off a
trifle we started to laugh.
"You're good," we exclaimed. "In
vite a man to lunch, and then fix him
so he can't eat."—Detroit Free Tress.
