Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?" Replies, to date, have been received from over 60,000 women answering that question- 98 per cent of which say YES. That means that 08 out of every lOO women who take the medicine for the ailments for which it is recommended are benefited by it. Thi9 is a most remarkable record Of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it. Think of.it--only two women out Of 100 received no benefit--98 successes out of a possible 100. Did you ever hear anything like It? We must admit that we, ourselves, an astonished. Of course we know that bur medicine does benefit the large majority of women who take it. But that only two out of 100 received no benefit is most astonishing. It only goes to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for certain definite ailments--not a cure all --one that is made by the most scientific process; not from drugs, but from a combination of nature s roots and herbs, can and does do mora good than hastily prepared prescriptions. You see, we have been making, improving and refining this medicine for over 50 years until it is BO perfect and so well adapted to women's needs that it actually has the virtue to benefit 98 out of every 100 women whj take it Its reliability and recognized efficiency has gained for it a sale in almost eveerryy country in the world --leading all others. Such evidence should induce every woman suffering from any ailment peculiar to her sex to try Lydia K. Pinkham's Y^tretable Compound and see if she can't be one of the 08. Lydia E.

In some respects the most Important of the year, are now fully established, declares a fashion correspondent in the New York Times. But, after all the shouting about spring fashions. It is quieting to see Just what are the things which have been chosen for real and practical wear. There must necessarily be a great deal of surplus style, for the women of America demand a large assortment from which to make their choice, and It Is not always possible to state what things they will decide permanently to adopt as their own. The long coat Is one of the season's best portrayals of fashion. But It is by no means a simple affair. It is embroidered and appliaued and tucked and flounced In/the most surprising ibanner, though (as far as the silhouette is concerned it remains severely straight and plaii\ in line. You will find that there is a" eertaln squareness of appearance about all of the newer coats. Thil effect is gained by means of the cut and by means of the application of the trimming.

Sleeves are put in on square lines, and then they are almost altogether covered with an all-over embroidery, which only goes to accentuatje that blocked Idea. About the bottom of thd coat the embroidery is ngain done in straight and uncompromising lihes, and the collar, though it is severely plain, still carries out that four-sidod Idea. The result Is that, with a gracefully trimmed hat, the costume carries with it all that air of style which is necessary for the appearance of the gowns and coats of the ment any that might appear {OO die frock worif underneath. - Three-Piece Suit Is Smart. Tlie three-piece suit has everything to recommend it for spring wear, for It Is not only about the smartest thing you can wear, but It has so many practical qualities that it Is very much to be desired for this season of the year. Not only does the three-piece suit give every smart line of appearance when it Is worn Intact, but after the coat has been removed It is still a perfectly good costume with everything to recommend It for wear indoors as well as outside. The usual plan of Its making displays a coat and lower section of the skirt made from some woolen material, while the bodice of the dress and the lining of the coat are done from some plain or printed silk, the one matching the other. You will find the fur collar very much in evidence, and when It Is no!t to-be found, there Is usually the little animal with Its head and tall strung around the throat of the wearer of the smart little suit. , On one of these salts, with its short cape, the skirt is one of those' very new ones made in three tiers and bound with ribbon on each of the sections. This dress is made of the same material--a gray cashmere cloth--from shoulder to hem. It If bound with a darker gray tone of ribbon, and the cape is lined with an Interesting pattern of gray and colored print. The girdle of the gown then proceeds to carry out the colors of the lining of the cape, though it is doije In handsome embroidery worked with silken threads. A band of--gray aBd white squirrel fur rims around the edges of the standing collar and gives Just that touch of softness at^tlie throat which means so much to the finish of a costume of this sort. Hats in Great Variety. Hats, of course, are the center of spring fashion concerh. The new spring hat has something about It that Is wholly Individual, and mhny a woman pays more attention to that portion of her atftre, especially at this season, than she does to any other. This year everything has been done to make the hats as alluring as possible-- as conspicuously beautifying as they can be. This does not uiean that In themselves they are of any conspicuous nature, but It does mean that In their own little mojdest way they manage to surround the taces wtn that element of charm for which am woman would drain hor purse. Most of tbe hats have little brims that turn down around the face. There are all sorts of divergences from this ruling, but they are only suggestions of a turn-back portion here and there. As a rule, the hats are rounded In regular lines, and when there Is any exception they become only more rounded at certain points* or n bit more drooping in character. Now, every woman knows that a drooping brim is about the ifrost becoming facial ft;ame that she can manage to adopt. Straws are rather more in ^the minority than* anything else. There are taffeta hats and draped chiffon turbans, and hats made of satin, and those done from all-over embroideries.

Some years ago there were In Paris two papers, the Razor and Jhe Scorpion. which were always attacking each other. Every week people bought the Razor to read how it cut at the Scorpion and then purchased the Scorpion to learn how It stung the Razor. A certain philanthropist, feeling pained to se£ such animosity displayed, Invited the two editors to dine In the hopje that ove^ a good fare he could make peace ^between them. At the appointed tirtie one lean, melancholy man presented himself and was ushered In. After an interval, as no other guest appeared, the host demanded : "May I ask, are you the editor of the Razor or the Scorpion?" "Roth." said the sad-eyetf Sheffield (Eng.) Telegraph. Platform Wit.

They liHTe au ulr of tostume of the most graceful variety Of lines. They should really be worn' with the plainest of gowns, because they carry so much trimming that ore cannot afford to mix with their adorn- Felt Hats Hold Favor Felt hats are to be seen everywhere and they are just as smart for spring as they were all through the winter. Their shapes have changed a trifle, but they are eminently satisfactory for wear with the rather more tailored type of suit and with anything that In any way approaches the sport style of dressing. • Straw hats, after all, are perishable things and they are being kept for "Summer for wear in any, large quantities. When It comes to the broadbrimmed hat of light weight, then, of Course, straw Is the only thing to be considered, but until the time comes for that one may wear any sort of hat built of any sort of material so long as It conforms in Its general character with the prevailing mode. Lace hats for dress occasions are going to be worn in great numbers, and while some of them merely show trimmings of lace draped gracefully about their shapes, others are made entirely from motifs or strips of lace, and they are trimmed with fruit and flowers, also with ribboris^n great profusion. This does not mean that any large quantity of trimming is applied to any one hat, but It does mean that mixtures of ail these trimmings In subdued quantities can be applied to the decoration of any one hat and with the utmost of fashionable effect. The combination of printed and plain fabrics continues to be a feature. One prominent dressmaker uses this in a most interesting way, combining black serge with printed crepe liiarocain. She makes a plaited skirt of black serge, trims it with Mack soutache ornaments and then adds a full blouse with, girdle and yoke collar of brilliantly printed crepe tnarocain. She adds flaring gauntlet cuffs. The result is excellent. Short Sentence Responsible for Fact That This Man Was Not in the Millionaire Class. Heard at the dance: "See that woman over there?"

French Millinery. v Many of the newest French hats have veils and laces "for trimmings. Sometimes Just a tiny lace edge shields the eye. in other.cases straw crowns are used -with the tiniest of lace ruffles for brims. Other hats have a iaVe sash over the crown that hangs in a long streamer on each side. Variety of New Ideas in the Paris Apparel No one thing stands out more prominently in the French collections than the use of printed stuffs, despite the fact that .these were the new big features at the end of iast'Summer, notes a fashion writer in the New York Tribune. The French printers have produced such a beautiful lot of patterns that the dressmakers have been persuaded to make them a dominant note in their present collections. To keep his models exclusive, I'atou has confined certain patterns and colorings to his line. His choice runs to red in prints, just as that of Agnes emphasises green. Patou has used wonderful taste In the selection of hi9 patterns, for while colorful they are not bizarre, %nd he has managed to combine them most artistically, usually w'th navy blue or with white or beige. It is in afternoon dresses particularly that one sees printed stuffs, which naturally fall more to the lot of day wear than evening gowns. But' the taste for colorful effects leads Patou into the choice of wonderful erahroileries as an embellishment for th|i more dressy afternoon gowns and for his dinner gowns. So original are tbe prints and so exquisitely wrought are the embroideries that it is often difficult to distinguish between thein. The embroideries seem to be a part of tbe surfaces they covet-, while the prints are so cleverly shadowed anil outlined that they seem to stand out in relief.
