Artistic Dressmaking Offers Wide Fields for Clever Women. Artistic dressmaking offers wide and varied fields for the capabilities of clever women of taste and education. There is scaictly a single tcsvu, eoun I try district or suburb, in which well j to-do middle -class peope are resident, I where a really expert woman would i not be welcomed and assured of a I good living within a couple of years. ; The very wealthy 'woman who hs 'l clothed by an expensive dressmaker ' getting her models from Paris is fair i ly well catered for to-day; but the 1 average middle-class woman with good taste, willing to pay a fair price for j her dresses, has no alternative to the 1 average tasteless, incompetent dress maker whose sole notion of the art of dress is derived, from the fashion plates, who knoM'S nothing of the law Of line and color and fitness, and cares nothing for individuality and that harmony between dress and wearer j which is the secret of beautiful dress. There are hundreds of women of taste ! who detest the hard tailor-made cos tume, and would gladly and gratefully Bee evolved a graceful, feminine yet eervicable word-a-day dress. The uses ; to which inexpensive stuffs, surges I and homespuns, may be put in the hands of a woman of exquisite taste ; have been shown us. There is simply ! an immense ceauoent here; but the artistic dressrsaker must be a woman of really artistic ideas and feelings, with an unerring eye for color and personality, and she .must be trained. The Hospitable Hostess. There can certainly be little ques tion that never was hospitality more Ireely exercised than now. Viospitahty jomes quite naturally to some, and the ease with which they dispense it adds to its charm. Such hostesses seem to guess the slightest wishes of their guests instinctively; they fore stall their wants, do not force them to do things they evidently do not wish, and have the tact to leave them to follow their own devices. A hos tess by her charm of manner and good Sense prevents any animosity between the guests; she renders their visits Agreeable by her charming conversa tion. She stimulates a natural free dom of manner without constraint in those around her In all these little points lies her power. By affability "she rules." She suggests, yet firmly leads. If, on the other hand, a hostess has all laid down in her house by matter-of-fact rule, and allows her guests no freedom of action, however hospitable she may be, all hangs fire Btill more so if the hostess looks cross or worried or annoyed, not ex ercising her powers of self-restraint, and showing by her manner that she Is bored with the whole thing. This aaturally reacts on the guests, who on their side are equally bored. The Average awsnit. There is nothing more ridiculous than the average lawsuit. Two men dispute fiver a few dollars and go to law. Both are mire to lose. Their neighbors are drag.-ved in as witnesses, and the costs nrnomit to 10 or 20 times the amount in dispcie. Frequently these lawsuits ruin families and start quarrels that last for years. Some men claim it is "prin -i that actuates them in these lawsc.'.s. jt is bullheadcdness. pure and simple. It is nearly always easj to "split the difference." Another bad feature about these law suits is that the county is p'ut 10 con siderable expense, and men willing to work are compelled to sit on the jury. Settle your disputes without going to law. If the, man with whom you are disputing is uot willing to "split the difference." he will probably accept a proposition to leave it to three -neigh bors. Atchison Globe. Advice From a Bntelier. "What the newspapers should do -is to devote less space to describing what people should wear and more to what they should eat." remarked the butch er. "Fashionably dressed women come in here every day who don't know !a;i:l) from mutton or a hen from a roos;er. No wonder men have dyspepsia! I tind that men know more about the quality food stuffs than women do. .Many of the latter don't even know the few simple tests that might help them to distinguish an old fowl from a youu:?, one, and about meat they're greener yet. A young woman came in here the other day and asked for two pounds of veal cutlets I showed her the loin 1 proposed to chop the cutlets from, and she remarked. "Yes; (hut's very nice, hut isn't it rather thick to fry?'" Philadelphia Times. Are you goiiig-next Monday even ing ? S-mthern Fines Musical Institute.

Agony From Inherit ed Heart Disease. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Cured Me. One person in every four has a weak heart. Unless promptly treated a weak heart will easily become a diseased heart. A little extra strain from any cause is sufficient to, bring on this deadly maladv, the most common cause of sudden death. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure will "tone up the heart's action, enrich the blood and improve the circulation. "My trouble began with catarrh and I have always supposed it caused the trouble I have experienced with my heart. I had the usual symptoms of sleeplessness, lost appetite, con stipation, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath and pain around the heart and un der left arm. My mother suffered in the same way and 1 suppose mine was an inherited tendency. At one time I was in agony. I suffered so" severely and became so weak that my doctors said I could not live thirty davs. At this time I had not slept over two hours a night on account of nervousness. The least exercise, such as walking about, would bring on palpitation and fluttering of the heart so severe that I would have to give up everything and rest. Nerve and Liver l'illfi cured me of constipation and heart symptoms disappeared under the influence of Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure. I am in better health than I have been in twelve vears and I thank Dr. Miles' Remedies for it. 1 think they are th --. grandest remedies on earth and I am constantly recommending them to my friends."

Absolutely Puke Plants OF THE Famous Hoffman Variety. On the great berry markets of the. country Hoffman lias for vears been a synonym for the highest excellence in the Strawberry. Owing to its earliness it is always the first to reach the market. Its unrivalled firmness enables it to reach even the most distant market in all the glory of its splendid color. Not only is the berry then red as a ruby, and nearly as firm, but even the cap retains its clear vived green color, adding much to the attractiveness of the berry. Hoffman, in size ranks with the very largest, and on good f-oil remains large to the very last. The qualities render it par excellence the great fancy shir. pins berry. For years it has commanded top market prices. Its plant growth is equal to its fruit. No variety surpasses, if indeed any equals, it in healthlinef r and freedom from rust and disease. It is, of all varieties, most nearly drought proof; dry weather at fruiting' time rarely lessens the yield of berries to any great extern or reduces its large size or lessens irs showy, attractive appear ance All desiring plants of Simon pure Hofi'mun should place their orders prompt ly as the demand will be lajge and the stock is limited. Splendid as Hoffman is at the South we do not recommend it for the North. CONTINENTAL PLANT CO.. Strawberrv Specialists, Kittrell, N. C FOR SALE.
