The rag carpet, after many

again fairly popular, and the
rags that for a quarter of a cen

since, if they are of woo), they
are almost worth their weight in
gold. Why the rag carpet ever
did go out of style it is hard to
determine, and its reappearance
in society is not difficult to un
derstand.
Properly put together and
mads of a good assortment of
rags, it is exceedingly pretty,
and withal easy to manufacture,
all the knack needed being the
•kill necessary to cut the rags
into strips, sew them together
in lengths and wind them into a
ball. For a small sum the rag
carpet weaver does the rest.
Bath room and study rugs are
the chief uses of the rag carpet
of today. It is not so much rag
carpets, in fact, as it is rag car
pet rugs, The rag carpet rug is
Uot large, as a rule. Six feet by
three would be quite an extra
ordinary size. The idea is to
have quite a number of them,
and these much smaller.

like iron. These facts especially
commend them. Then, too, there
is much sociability in their mak
ing. A rag carpet party is a jovial
*vent. and a “function” that,

a gain once more. The girls meet

especially asked for this hour,
begin to drift in, and there is
afternoon tea. It is the modern

well as an amusement.
PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
Everything must be sacriticed
to harmony. The yachting girl
has her leather spyglass case to
match the color of her gown.
A dainty.dressing gown is of
narrow striped washing silk with
large collar of tucked muslin,
edged with lace and a wide sash
of same tied in front with long
ends.
A pretty ruching is made in
two colors of narrow ribbon,
whipped together, the thread
joining drawn tight enough to
give a full pucker to the ribbon.
Young women with slim
waists draw the wide black lib
erty satin sashes twice around
the body, knot the streamers
once and pin with a jeweled
brooch. The knot may be placed
at any point on the waist line.
“Have your skirts lined with
the softest of silk ; the rustle is
no more to be heard,” is consid
ered good advice.
In Paris the latest idol is the
silken scarf, twisted in the coils
of the hair ;it needs to be ad
justed by the hands of an artist.
Cherries on hats, on dresses,
on parasols and in the hair are
one ot the fashion’s latest
whims.
ONE WAY OF GETTING THIN.
The glory of having discover
ed away of getting thin and ol
keeping in good condition when
one is deprived of the usual
means of exercise must rest with
I the wife of an English officer in
i India, so says Harper’s Baaaar.
As sometimes happens after a
long illness and its subsequent
confinement, this lady found
herself, when able to move
about again, almost twice her
normal size. She could not walk,
nor was she able, through ner
vousness, either to ride or to
enter outdoor sports. One day
she thought of the skipping rope
of her childhood. After a few
weeks’ practice she begin t
gain in health and to decrease
in size.
She makes a daily record of
600 skips. As she exercises sev
eral times a day, her record rep
resents the sum total of her
day’s work. Iler custom has
been widely followed. Women
accustomed to outdoor exercise,
and made wretched by confine
ment indoors, or to a limited
area, use the skipping-rope
Practiced with prudence, no
other form of exercise, it is said,

wonders in reducing flesh

If life were one long summer day and itg
journey through a garden of flowers, it
might be possible for people to be careless
of their health without fearing evil results.
Unfortunately, since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of Eden, life has
not been a toilless journey through a garden
of flowers. Man must earn bread by the
sweat of his brow, and woman must bring
forth children in pain and suffering.
In both cases the curse is multiplied
many times over because both men and
women neglect their health Man's toil is
rendered a thousand times harder by the
added burden of ill-health. The woman is
a still greater sufferer. She suffers in si
lence untold agonies from weakness and
disease in a womanly way. Motherhood
becomes to her a menace of death, and her
babes are born with the seeds of disease
already implanted in their little bodies.
There is but one unfailing remedy for wom
en who suffer in this way. It is Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that bear
the brunt of maternity. It makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and elastic.
It allays inflammation, heals ulceration,
soothes pain and tones and builds up the
tortured nerves. It fits for wifehood and
motherhood It does away with the trials
of the period of apprehension and makes
baby’s advent easy and almost painless.
Thousands have testified to its marvelous
merits
