ONE-PIECE EFFECT "
PROVES POPULAR :
i
The 1909 one-piece effect will be
achieved with long lengths of-fabric
fitted to the figure; .not-in -the facile
manner of last season, when, a blouse
and skirt were combined -under a belt,
a 'panel being Added in front to sug
gest a one-piece effect. ; ,
The 1909 dress is a much more se
rious proposition . for the inexperienc
ed dress, maker to, undertake, for it
must fit apparently without fitting, and
only the master hand can accomplish
this effect without bungling.
This fancy for one-piece frocks
amounts to a veritable efaze in Paris
.Every couturier is vying with all the
others to turn out a model so indi
vidual in style that it shall make a
talisman 'of the name-behind it.
In linen there are particularly pret
ty one-piece dresses; one charming

This Is not to be doubted, if we are
to judge by the history of fashions

Rumor has it : that ' a certain relief

described as a perfectly unornamen

pleated into the most perfect of
frills.

Belgian Girls Prepor for Their An

,i ' BRUSSELS, April 2 7. The matri
monial breeze is blowing " over Bel
gium. The maidens of Ecaussines; In
the province of Hainaut, have issued
their annual invitation "to all avail
able bachelors in the world" to come
.and marry them. . 1 .
A party will be given' to such bach
elors as accepts the invitation on Whit
Monday and an opportunity will be
given them to make a choice among
the feminine youth andt-beauty of the
village. This yearly party at Ecaus
sines was organized seven years ago
and has proved most successful. All
the members of the original committee
have long "been'j married to bachelors'
who came from " distant '.. places ahd
their advice to' their sisters is to go
and do likewise.
This year the. festival will begin , on
Whit Monday, at 10 o'clock, when the
maidens will meet arriving bachelors
at the station and take them to the
town hall to sign the golden book. In
the afternoon there : will be in the
market place a pageant of bachelors,
who will be addressed, by the presi

BE ATTRACTIVE ?
ON RAINY DAYS.
Even on inclement days the girl of
to-day wants to look her best. She
does not wear any old hat and frock
for fear of the rain, but she dresses
herself from head to foot in a cos
tume built for the weather.
It is now her custom to save her
good and expensive fish net veils for
dry weather, so on wet days she
wears a close face veil of deep rose
pink chiffon and over this a thin
veil of gray sewing silk.
These are snugly pinned over her
hat, covering the trimming and
neatly tucked into place at the nape
of the neck at the top.
BRIGHT GIRI, CHEMIST
MAKES A DISCOVERY
A girl who has learned all sorts of
queer things in the chemistry class
says that one can make electric light
globes look like frosted glass with al
cohol and shellac. -
Take a little white shellac, thin with
alcohol, dip the globe into it and
hang to dry.
It is a good imitation of frosted
glass.
If a color is desired, gef egg dyes
and dissolve the mixture in wood al
cohol and mix it into a little shellac.
Dip the globes into the mixture, and
yo-j get a pretty shade.,
If at any time you wish to ,have the
clear globe again, the color can be
removed by soaking the globe in wood
alcohol. i
This is a clever ideaA for coloring
globes when a color scheme is desired
during a party or special entertainment.
LINEN TURNOVERS.
Embroidered linen turnovers and
Dutch collars of linen or lace are here

lies In rnneentratme your mind on
what the person who is talking to you
is saying. You must appear engross
ed, almost enraptured and hang on
every word. Did you ever see an absent-minded
person who could keep
that up long?
"No, indeed! Her mind wanders,
and yo'u see it in her eye. Now, if there
is anything more insulting than to
talk to a woman . who wears that ex
pression I would like to know what
it is; that's all! No wonder the absent-minded
lady is unpopular!"
PROTECT YOUR EYES;
j HOW TO SAVE THEM.
If you want good eyes never read

ered on a moving train, while you are
rocking, when you are weary and
hungry nor. immediately before dusk.
Don't use your eyes when they
smart; smarting means that they are
calling for rest.
Beware of a dazzling sunshine or a
high wind on a very dusty day; even
if you boast of strong eyes, under
such conditions better protect them
with glasses.
Don't squint; it weakens the lids.
Neither must you wink uncon

All these precautions are
your control, and will repay
heed them.

On the other hand,' the bachelors of
a neighboring village, Ronquieres, an
nounce a similar fete for White Sun
day and all maiden ladies are invited
to attend. Whitsuntide in Belgium
seems to offer special opportunities to
any one in the wrold who wants to
get married. The only necessary for
mality is to send in one's name to -the'
president of either organization before
May 15, and an invitation will be
forthcoming. .

This simple operation pernjits the

bridal toilet. It was made up in sort white satin. The skirt, opening
over a panel of! point lace, is slightly draped at the waist and sweeps far
behind the wearer in the conventional bridal train. A. ' long . strand of
orange blossoms at the side conceals the closing. The high point of the

The bodice and tipper sleeves are cut in one piece and made of the point

ELEPHANT'S FOOT
FOR ROOSEVELT.
.
LONDON, April 27. While Colonel
Roosevelt is in Africa he will have
an opportunity of tasting that delicious
dish,, baked elephant's foot.
The Elephas Indicus or Elephas
(Loxodon) Africanus walks on his
toes and the balls of his feet. The
real foot of an elephant extends .up
some distance, from the ground. Like
the "trotter'" of the hog, the foot of
the elephant is full of glutten, and
the flesh, if properly baked, is very
tender, tasting something between
pork and chicken. From a freshly
killed elephant the foot is cut off at
the ankle and baked in a hole in the
ground which has previously been
heated with hot stones.. The hole
must be real hot and a few heavy
stones left In the bottom. The foot
having been put into the hole, which
is made just about big enough to re
ceive it some natives line the hole
with green leaves sand is shoveled
over it and left to cook. One must
not be, in a hurry for his dinner. When
taken out and the thick skin peeled
away a delicious morsel awaits the
epicure. ;

Rheumatism.
More than nine out of every- ten,
cases of rheumatism are simply rheu
matism of the muscles, due to cold or
damp, or chronic rheumatism. In
such cases no internal treatment is
required. The free application of
Chamberlain's Liniment is all that is
needed, and it is certain to give quick
relief. Give it a trial and see for
yourself how quickly it relieves" the
pain and - soreness. The medicines
usually given internally for rheuma
tism are poisonous or very strong
medicines. They are worse than use
less in case -of chronic and muscular
rheumatism. For sale by R. JI. Jor
