WOMAN AND FASHION. Latest In Tailor Gowns and Jackets A Panacea For the Complexion- My Lady's Perfumed Press. The latest models in gowns made by tailors for traveling and morning wear are simple but elegant in shape. A novel trimming consists of coarse stitebWL // WS- / j \ V ?> fflP'*UP TO DATE TAILOR GOWN. ing of contrasting colors in form of straps, loops or scroll designs Red leather belts and red silk shirts are much worn with the white suits. Blue is a favored color in tailor suits. Recent models illustrated and described in the New York Sun indicate the incoming styles An up to date tailor gown in blue has the skirt trimmed with uneven straps of a lighter shade of the same color The jaunty coat is slashed up on the seams and has strappings of dark blue. The collar, revers and lining of the coat are of pale blue The coat opens over a silk shirt of dark red and a dark red leather belt A second model described has both skirt and coat trimmed with embroidery A unique little outing coat of serge is another subject for illustration.

The Silver Threads. Hair that is really white is beautiful and becoming, but it must not be scanty or of a yellowish tinge, says a writer in ; the New York Tribune, from which the following is gleaned: To obtain the pure white, which is considered desirable, a little bluing in the water that it is washed with is said to be as essential as it is for washing white cottons or linens. Although un doubtedly much more becoming than the dingy color that precedes it, whiteu ing hair is dreaded by most people to a most unreasonable degree, and very j few fashionable women accept the situ ation without protest Thev first begin to pluck out the individual telltale hairs, but as the numbers increase they resort to various so called restoratives that are practically dyes. This invariably produces sooner or later a harsh and unpleasing contrast with the face, wherein the marks of time are not so easily eliminated, and women of good sense, seeing that they cannot restore youth, wisely determine to return to nature, surprising their friends by becoming suddenly gray, their consolation and reward being the complimentary remarks which are showered upon them on every side: "How well you are looking!” "How becoming your hair is!” and the less personal but even more satisfactory ver diet of the world at large, which some how is always repeated to the object of the remarks, "How lovely Mrs. W. is since her hair has become gray!” etc. Panacea For the Complexion. The latest cure for all complexion ills is eaid to be hot milk. If the face is wrinkled, sallow, freckled or otherwise afflicted, hot milk, says the enthusiast over this new remedy, will produce a cure. Converts declare that the face, after being washed with milk that night, feels wonderfully refreshed, while the skin soon becomes soft and white. Some even go so far as to pour a generous quantity of milk in the water for the bath and claim that it is positively magical in removing fatigue. By the by, this is not a new panacea, though so called, but merely one of grandmother's recipes revived. My Lady's Perfumed Pres*. In many modern houses, as The Decorator and Furnisher tells, a press is built off my lady’s dressing room. In this are long, light, easy moving drawers, in which gowns are laid ont full length instead of being hung up. One drawer is made of cedar for trifles, a feather box, an opera muff, etc., for which moths have a fondness. Such a press in a fine new mansion has one drawer lined with sandalwood, in which a ball gown reposes to emerge redolent of the perfumes of Araby.

It’s so strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want thealth. Food makes health. It makes strength—and strength wards off sickness.

A Child’s FROM PARALYSIS AND SIX YEARS OF CONVULSIOIJI Little Fannie Adams, of Umatilla, Cured of a Dreadful m 9 i J A Cure of Unusual Interest—A Reporter Investigates. 1 From the Lake Region, Euetie, Fla. ■

For some time past the Lake Region has been receiving reports from Umatilla, Fla., of an almost miraculous cure that had been effected in the case of Fannie Adams, a daughter of A. J. Adams, of that place, and last Saturday a representative of thia paper made a trip to Umatilla for the purpose of determining the authenticity oft he same. The family live a short distance from the village, where it was found that the people were cognizant of the cure which had been effected, and were rejoicing with the family in their new found happiness. The father, A. J. Adams, is a hard-working honest farmer from east Tennessee, ami the family came to Florida four years ago in the hope that a change of climate would be of benefit to their atflicted child. Much of their earnings have gone for doctors’ bills, whose services proved unavailing. The representative was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom he gained the story of her great trial. Fannie, the youngest child, was bom in east Tennessee, and was seven years old on the third day of February. 1897. When ten i months old she was stricken with paralysis. ; which affected the entire left side. This stroke of paralysis was followed by convulsions, and from the time little Fannie was ten months old until February. 1897. there was not a single day or a night that she did not have spasms of the most distressing nature. Not a single convulsion, but always three or four, and sometimes as high as ten in one day. The family was all broken down with care, and Mrs. Adams states that for one I vear she did not go into her kitchen to super-1 intend her household work. All the fingers of the right hand of the little girl are en-' larged and misshapen, caused by her biting them during the fearful suffering. The ; case baffled the skill of the best physicians, and they were frank to say that they could !
