Neuralgia,
Nervous Breakdown
NURSE HALL, c/o Mrs. Bassett, Commercial Place, Landport, Portsmouth, Eng., writes: "I was suffering from nervous breakdown with Internal Neuralgia, when I began a course of Phosferine. After having taken it for three or four months, I felt better than I had done for two years previously, and consider it the best tonic I have ever tried. As a remedy for all nervous disorders I think there is nothing to equal Phosferine, especially as I was given up by more than one doctor previous to taking Phosferine, and can now say I am perfectly vell and strong, and have taken nothing else.”
other medicine has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary Properties in restoring Shattered Constitutions, and in giving back to the

AN IDEAL INCOME,
THE LITTLE MORE AND HOW
MUCH IT I81"
FINANCIAL DREAMS; :
Whenever you indulge the dangerous habit of dreaming about an ideal income an income that would, you think, supply you with all those comforts of life which are supposed to make luxuries superfluous -you almost certainly secall the classical maxim on this matter, pronounced by the high priest of worldly wisdom, Disraeli, long ago; he informed the Victorian world that ten thousand a year, and the world to think it was only five thousand" con- stituted perfection in the way of wealth, says The Times. A
*WEALTH "YESTERDAY AND TO-DAY: Wealth indeed! Happy Victorian age that counted ten thousand to be wealth! Nowadays those who have it will inform you that it goes simply nowhere," and that they find it necessary on such a sum to be for ever thinking of ways and means, and laboriously reducing expenses There is a good deal, certainly, in that reserva- tion about the world thinking it only five thousand; for if the world, or the Chancellor of the Exchequer, once gets to know how much exactly you have the task of administering it and keeping it will grow more difficult than ever. But still, as things are now in this expensive age, ten thousand a rear, even if everybody thinks it is only five, is not to be carelessly called wealth. An eminent authority has just declared that nobody deserves so much-nobody earns it. These are Utopian speculations, People of this world are willing to admit that you are worth what you have. And if you have
ten thousand a year you have enough to live upon comfortably, that is about all that can be said for ten thousand.~*~ At once, as we say this-or, rather, as they say it who have ten thousand a year -the small financial fry raise their heads and clamour that such talk is simply disgraceful. Anybody with anything between five thousand and ten thousand knows perfectly well that ten thousand ought to be enough for anybody, More than that means only more bother and more taxes. Ten thousand is the ideal income, undoubtedly to those who have only eight,
FASHIONS AND FANCIES,
The idea of a fruitarian wedding was, in the case of that last week, both novel and pretty. That cherries should have been chosen for the bride's coiffure was a children since the world began have de happy thought. How many girls and corated themselves by stringing twin cherries in either ear? An incalculable number, truly. The other becoming fruitarian bridal coiffure would certainly be nats with a few of their pretty pointed leaves, filberte, or hasel nuts for choice with their varied tones of brown and green. Peaches are too large and their exquisite complexion might outvie that of the bride, which would never do Red currants, white currants, raspberries or strawberries would be very ebarming."
WEDDING
WEDDING VEILS.
Graper of either colour night safely be would not be amiss. There are, in fact, prosen, and “vine-leaves in her hair" endless possibilities in the fruitarian idea. The truth is, the bridal veil has become much too cappy, as worn at present, gathered in round the face and covering almost all the hair. A change the texture of the veil, it is unbecoming is badly needed. However filmy may be in the masses in which it is now worn close to the face. This is, too, quite an innovation, for the veil is no longer one, as such. Before the cappy arrangement came in, the bride's face was covered as she approached the altar, and the soft folds of lace or tulle gave her the proper bride-like aspect and also enhanced the beauty of her hair and the soft tones of her complexion. We have every reason to wish the fruitarian weddings all
success
TAILOR-MADES.
Tailors have again reverted to moire silk for suits and coats. A favourite colour for these is blue in a rather deep tone, a sapphire tint. These and other tailor-mades are usually relieved with tulle and lace on the bodice, only partly scen under the coat of moire or taffetas. Many times in three tiers, sometimes in four, or of the taffetas skirts are flounced, some even five. This echo of Victorian modes is contradicted by the narrowness of the skirt below the flounces and the scantiness of the flounces themselves,
MODE ABOUT THE CAPE.,
The cape came from Paris, and London tailors are vying with each other in pro ducing it in new materials and in various forms. If the collar met in front the cape would be very like the circular cloak we all knew very well some twenty years ago, but the collar now stops at the sides of the neck, and the cloak itself is not so ample as our old friends. The umbrella shape still prevails, so that there is not too much fulness round the shoulders, while the folds wition out below. A very Pretty cape is made of dove grey crêpe-de-
But, meanwhile, those who have five or six have been looking all their lives upon sight as the perfect figure. With eight if you have five or six-you can just do the little things you cannot quite afford to do on what you have. There will then be the other car for the little place in the country, and a possibility of extending the garden, and the further possibility please cbserve of increasing 80-and-so's little pension or of doing something for Somebody Else; since we all know do we not that helping other people is part of the fun of being fairly well off. As it is, with only five thousand, we cannot do these exquisite other things. As it is, the income is accurately adjusted, as decent chine lined with rose-petal pink and husbandry ordains that an income should bordered all round the outlines with gald be adjusted. There is little or nothing and pale pink passementerie. A smail, left over for the unexpected. It is simulated hood at the back is trimmed to enough, no doubt; it is not that we com-match, and appears to cross the shoulders plain exactly. It is enough; but more and end in revers in front. is wanted another two thousand for perfection.
A** WALKING BUNDLE OF DESIRES.??
And two thousand or so in, we find from casual conversations on this matter, the amount or that is invariably wanted by everybody who has an income of over four figures. For those who have smaller incomes the dream and the income
dwindle, it will be not another five hundred a year or so, in order that everything they want may be well within their ranch With such small suns the dream sometimes comes true. Everything they wanted they now have allow us, for the moment, this supposition. But immediately they begin to want other things as well-things, now they have a thousand, that were clearly out of reach when five hundred was all they had. What is man, indeed, but a walking bundle of desires? Do not his wants, his reachings forth his stretching out of hands, to this, that, and the other glimmering toy ahead of him, actually provide him with the stock of energy he needs for his own and the world's better. ment? Without such pursuit of more he would surely rest and sit by the fire, as Pascal advises him to do. And, in that fireside world of small fixed incomes, where would be life," the busy thing we know? Thus, as his income grows grow his expenses, He wants a little more than he has. It is the definition, the descrip- tion, of Man.
CORD TASSELST.
The inevitable cord and tassel are in pale gold on this cape. The most practi- cal form is that made in one with a waist coat, which is all front, and serves to keep the cape from dropping off the shoulders Bat this is more suitable for warm materials than for thin summer
fabrics. Prepared for Ascot is a cape of gold and black lace lined with thin gold silk. It is long enough to reach well. below the waist Gold cords and tassels fasten it at the neck, falling from a handsome gold and black clasp at either side.
