These are the days when the de-

where youthful figures and youthful
frocks are seen. Not that the older
women are not socially active, for
they most decidedly are; but some
way or other, the debutantes seem to
monopolize the center of the social
stage.

Never were dance frocks for debu-
tantes more attractive. Chiffon, satin,
tulle, lace and tiny flowers describe
nine out of ten of the prettiest dunce
gowns, but there is a vast difference
in the way In which these materials
are combined The clinging little
robe of softest satin with tunic of
chiffon or tulle Is the rule, but even
here there is room for much variety
in the length and lines of the tunic,
the arrangement of the decolletage
and sleeves, the color scheme and the
trimming details.
A good deal of fine gossamer-like
lace enters Into these youthful eve-
ning frocks, appearing in scant or
perfectly flat flounces, In slightly re-
vealed petticoat, In little fichus, etc.
Silver lace plays an Important role,
being far more popular for youthful
toilettes than gold lace. Where the
tunic is of some soft silk instead of
chiffon or white it is quite likely to
fall over a lace flcunce petticoat of
sheer material.
A delightful model of palu green
chiffon was trimmed with sprays of
chiffon roses. The upper part of the
bodice was made of maline lace and
the joining line of the lace and chif-
fon was hidden by a line of pink
roses. The looped-up part of the
panler skirt at the front was held in
place by a trailing vine of pink roses.
Often small silken roses, foliage and
trailing vines are made into buckles,
wreaths, rosettes and clasps of all
kinds One frock of pale blue silk
muslin showed the tunic caught up
at the right side by a large round
circle of pink roses A cluster of
pink roses also ornamented the girdle
at the left side.

Useful Holder to Hang on the Wall
Provides Receptacle for Small
Conveniences.
In our sketch may be seen a dainty
and ornamental holder for hat pins
for hanging upon the w all by the side
of the dressing table. It is, of course,
necessary to keep hat pins where
they are easily accessible, but at the
same time, if they are placed in a
holder or stuck in a cushion upon
the dressing tablt, they are generally
greatly in the way, so that, perhaps,
there Is nothing better than can be
prepared for them than a holder of
the nature shown, which may be hung
on the wall.
It merely consists of a long pocket,
Into which the hat pins may be slip-
ped, and at the base of it a little wood
is placed to receive the points of the
pins. In making it, a piece of fairly
stifT cordboard is cut out in the shape
shown in diagram A, and scored
across With a shiJrp penknife at the
point Indicated by the dotted line. This
board is then covered on both sides
with some pretty remnant of silk, and
the two little side pieces (diagram B)
can next be made.
For them two pieces of cardboard
are cut out in the wadge-shape illus-
trated and covered with silk. The
lower portion of the holder Is best up-
wards and the side pieces sewn in
their places, and it is afterwards fin-
ished off at the edges throughout with
a fine silk cord.
The conventional floral design that
appears upon the front should be em-
broidered in silk of some contrasting
shade of color, and can quite well be
worked from our sketch.
It should, of course, be embroidered
upon "the material prior to covering
the board. A long loop of ribbon with

few drops of perfume and a little gly-

When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation i:; necessary, it of course
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands o£
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their
health has been restored.
These Two Women
Cary, Maine.—"I feel it a duty I
owe to all suffering women to tell
■what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for me. One year ago
I found myself a terrible sufferer.
I had pains in both sides and sucli a
soreness 1 could scarcely staighten
up at times. My back ached, I had
no appetite and was so nervous I
could not sleep, then I would be so
tired mornings that I could scarcely
get around. It seemed almost im-
possible to move or do a bit of work
and I thought I never would be any
better until I submitted to an opera-
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E.
Piukham's Vegetable Compound and
soon felt like a new woman. I had
no pains, slept well, had good appe-
tite and was fat and could do almost

Ckarlotte, N. C—"I was in bad
health for two years, with pains in
bot h sides and was very nervous. If
I even lifted a chair it would cause
• hemorrhage. I had a growth which
the doctor said was a tumor and I
never would get well unless I had
an operation. A friend advised me
to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-

10 Wyona St., Charlotte, N. 0.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a wo-
man submit to a surgical operation without first giving Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others—why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy i'or fe-
male ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa-
mous medicine made from roots and herbs it
has restored so many suffering women tohealth.
