Pretty Millinery
ijnHBRR are threfe loading shapes, shown In many modifications and varl
■ atlons, upon which millinery for the fast-coming winter season is manly
» built. A single example of each one Is show*n in our (Illustrations. There
m U»® ®*<l® and the hack roll Btyles of brim, and there Is the smart and
Chic' small round hat or turban. The first style with brim much widoned
•nd crown more or less heightened becomes the picture hat. The back roll
brim Is shown In hats of medium size and the turban Is developed by height
ening the crown Into the “Cossack” and even into the “drum major" styles.
At the very first glance the hats pictured appeal to us as more beautiful
had more becoming than anything vie have had for several seasons pnst. A
Closer study convinces us that our first Impression is correct. The shape,
In the Amt place, fits the head as easily as a man's hat. They do'no envelope
us. fairly concealing tho face, nor are they perched precariously on top of
the head, as If about to take advantage of their wings to fly away. This good
fit makes the wobbly hat a .thing of the past, and once properly adjusted and
pinned to place, we can bo reasonably sure that they will not slip Into an
undignified If not rakish looking poee.
The trimming for each of these hats Is well chosen and substantial to
ApCtn with, elegant and beautiful to end with* In No. 1 the velvet covered
hftt has a brim upturned In the back and what Is known as the “collar
edge” In front and sides. The shape Is of plain velvet. It is draped with vel
vet (the light Paon silk variety) and trimmed with natural wings. These
will stand any amount of wear and are to be had In all colors. A band orna
ment of gunroetal or other beads finishes the decoration. In addition to
fitting well, this hat fulfills all the requirements of good millinery when It Is
well made. It affords a protection to the hend and eyes and it is more than
becoming —lt Is really flattering. It is said that the test of perfection in
millinery la this: the wearer should look better with than without her hat.
In more than nine cases out of ten this model will be found to stand the test.
‘A very elegast model Is shown in No. 2. It is of fine beaver felt with
(rimming of shirred ribbon and a w reath of roses. The ribbon is shirred on
light wires and cleverly draped over the crown. The semi-wreath Is of roses
madie of a very high luster silk and velvet having a metallic appearance.
They are shaded In tones to harmonize with the hat. Every winter we find
flowers growing more popular as a trimming for cold weather headwear.
They are fashioned to look as if meant for wintry weather and if chosen for
dress hats will prove worthy the happy greeting they have received from
Women. Although not as desirable as natural wings and quills, (hoy will
last a sea bo n out. This hat is especially fine In the catawba shades and in
bronze browns and ollvo green.
A pretty Paris turban in which the designer has deigned to take note of
serviceability as well as beauty is shown in No. 3. There are draped tur
bans of many kinds to choose from. This one has a crown of Dresden silk
In which a fascinating play of color is Introduced. The brim or coronet Is
made of velvet which terminates at the left In an irregular rosette or chou.
A big cabochon of jet forms a side decoration. One may have an additional
aigrette or fancy feather. The silk fiber grasses are graceful and a satis
factory substitute where there is an objection to the aigrette. Thiß turban
admits of almost any variety of feather trimming at the side and nothing is
handsomer than throe ostrich half plumes. Unless a good quality is used,
however, a fancy feather is to be preferred. 1
She who chooses any one of the three hats shown here may rest assured
that there Is nothing better in the line of practical and elegant millinery.
The picture hat and the distinctly tailored hat are not of this kind and
ireQulre separate description.
SHAPE FOR AUTUMN
Of black silk, lined with black vel
vet. and turned up at the back. Soft
crown of fine black net.
Three Popular Blues.
Just now three blues that are most
prominent are the deep marine shade,
m brighter Prussian blue and a lovely
color called laplslazull, after the stone
of that name. It Is full early yet to
think of the summer exodus, never
theless the milliners are preparing for
tho departure of those birds of pas
sage who some and go with startling
abruptness la these restless days, aud
are selling traveling headgear of vari
ous descriptions.

GARNITURES IN TWO FORMS
Beed Pearls Worked Upon Chiffon or
Insertion—Valenciennes Lace
Is Liked.
One of the very newest garnitures
consists of seed pearls, pearl beads
and tiny clear beads worked upon
chifTon all-over or insertion. The in
sertion is $lO a yard and one of the
pearl collars costs no less than sl6.
Its richness cannot be appreciated un
til one sees tho material itself. The
smallest clear beads Imaginable are
used on milky white chiffon, tnero be
ing Just enough glitter to make the
trimming very rich in appearance.
Valenciennes lace again comes to
the fore in trimming of satin over
skirts. In many instances it is slightly
gathered, especially where there are
loops and graceful curves. The ma
terial is cut from beneath and this
softens the skirt very much. M*any
lace pieces are used ou the corsage to
define more closely the cuirasse
bodice, which is a handsome feature
of the season's best dresses.
The Leather Belt.
According to notes from Paris, the
simple leather belt is going to come
into its own again, &b soon as ever
there is visible a waist line which it
may Inclose.
FREED AT LAST
From the Awful Tortures ef Kidney
Disease.
Mrs. Rachel Ivie, Henrietta, Texas,
isys: “I would be ungrateful if i did
not tell what Doan’s
Kidney Pills have
done for me. Fifteen
years kidney trouble
clung to me, my ex
istence was one of
misery and for two
whole years I was un
able to go out of the
bouse. My back ached all the time and
I was utterly weak, unable at times to
walk without assistance. The kidney
secretions were very irregular. Doan’s
Kidney Pills restored me to good
health, and I am able to do as much
work as the average woman, though
nearly eighty years old.”
Remember the name—Doan's. Sold
by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-
Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. T.
HAD ONE GOOD POINT
Young Guest —It seems to me that
you don't object to the mosquitoes
singing In your room.
Old Guest —You bet I don’t. Why,
when the mosquitoes are singing I
can’t hear the glee club practicing on
the piazza.
He Bit.
Ex-Police Commissioner Bingham of
New York said of graft at a recent
dinner:
“The grafter isn’t so easily caught;
he Isn’t quite so naive as an old fellow
they used to tell about in Andover.
“This old fellow was suspected of
tampering with the church collections.
A couple of clumsy traps that were
set for him failed to work. Then one
day a young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse.
" 'That’s a fine horse, deacon,’ the
old fellow shouted. ‘Did you buy him
at the fair?’
'* ‘Yes,’ said the' deacon. Then, as
the other came nearer, he added:
“•’I bought him with my pickings
out of the collection plate.’
“The old man looked horrified.
“’Good gracious!’ he said. ’l’ve
often taken enough myself to buy a
hat or a pair of trousers; but, deacon,
in takin* enough to buy a horse ain’t
ye commutin’ a positive sin!”’
And There Are Others.
The cook had been called away to a
sick sister, and so the newly wed mis
tress of the house undertook, with the
aid of the maid, to get the Sunday
luncheon. The little maid, who had
been struggling in the kitchen wKh a
coffee mill that would not work, con
fessed that she had forgotten to wash
the lettuce.
“Well, never mind, Pearl. Go on
with the coffee and I’ll do it," said the
considerate mistress. “Where do they
keep the soap?”
Proper Love for Wife.
“When a man really loves his wife
he ought to combine all his nicest
sentiments toward other women into
one big sentiment for her.
“He should show her the respect he
feels toward his mother, the polite
ness he shows other women and the
responsibility he feels toward his sis
ter.
"To all of that he should add the
great love lie should feel for a wife.”
FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
a Dyspeptic.
It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep
sia and can’t eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
"My husband's health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything I could
get for him, it seemed.
“He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up In a
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
"Tired of everything I had been able
to get for him to cat, one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, I
got some and tried it for breakfast the
next morning.
"We all thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asktal for Grape-
Nuts.
It was the same next day and I
had to get it right along, because when
we would get to the table the question.
Have you nny Grape-Nuts' was a reg
ular thing. So I began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
"My husband’s health began to im
prove right along, i sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something I
thought he would like for a change,
and still hear the same old question,
‘Have you any Grape-Nuts?’
“He got so well that for the last
two years he has hardly lost a day
from his work, and we are still using
Grape-Nuts." Read the book, “The
Road to Wellvllle," In pkgs. “There's
a reason."

HISTORIC VIRGINIA HOMESTEAD
House Where George Washington's
Mother Lived and Died at Fred*
ericksburg Still Standing.
Washington.—Not many tourists
visit the house in which the mother
of George Washington lived and died
in Fredericksburg, Va. The Washing
tons, or the branch of that large
Washington family which played so
great a role in American history, left
the Pope's Creek's farm, later called
"Wakefield," in Westmoreland county,
about three years after the birth of
George Washington. The family re
moved to another Washington farm In
Stafford county on tho north bank of
the Rappanhannock river, opposite
Fredericksburg. ’lt was there that
much of the boyhood of Washington
was spent. It was there that the
mythical exploits of chooping down
Where Mother of George Washington
Died.
the cherry tree, etc., were performed.
After George Washington and his
brothers had left this farm and after
the marriage of Betty Washington to
Maj. Fielding Lewis of Fredericksburg,
Mrs. Mary Washington bought a cot
tage in Fredericksburg, close to "Ken
more,” the home of her daughter, and
resided there many years. She died
in that cottage August 25, 1789.
The cottage Is a plain two-story
frame dwelling standing at the corner
of Charles and Lewis streets—two vil
lage streets deep in dust or mud ac
cording to the weather. The bouse Is
heavily shaded by old sycamore trees
and Is furnished with Washington
and other Virginia relics. It is owned
and cared for by the Society for the
Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
The superintendent is R. C. Beals,
who, with his wife, occupies the house.
Tho big living room on the ground
floor and to the left of the entrance
is that In which Mrs. Washington
died- As nearly as possible it la pre
served as Mrs. Washington kept it. A
rare old mahogany tester, bed stands
on that part of the floor where stood
Mrs. Washington’s bed. The original
bed is owned by a member of the
Washington family. The walls are
lined with steel engravings which be
longed to Mrs. Washington, and some
of these were her property when she
was Mary Ball, before her marriage
to Augustine Washington, and came
from her girlhood's home, “Epping
Forest," In Lancaster county, about
thirty miles from Fredericksburg. The
room In the rear of this living and
sleeping room was the dining-room,
and the same table around which the
Washingtons ate stands in tho middle
of the floor. The dining-room is bare
of carpets or rug 3 and was In Mrs.
Washington’s time. The furnishings
are plain and simple.

Bullfrogs a Campaign Issue.
Howell, Ind. —Bullfrogs are a live

We know of no other medicine which has been so suc
cessful in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so
many genuine testimonials, as nas Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women who
have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files con
taining over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is made ex
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.
Minneapolis, Minn.:—“l was a great sufferer from female
troubles which caused a weakness and broken down condition
of the system. I read so much of what Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound had done for other suffering women, I felt
sure it would help mo, and I must say It did help me r nder
fully. Within three months I was a perfectly well woman.
“I want this letter made public to show the benefits to bis
derived from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.”—
Mrs. John(jt.Molilan, 2115 Second St.S'ortli, Minneapolis, Mlnn.
Women who are suffering from those distressing ills
peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts
or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound to restore their health.
