SMART HAIR 'ORNAMENTS.

Some of the best known milliners in London are selling head-dresses as well as bats and bonnets, which proves that headgear takes a foremost place in the adorament of the modern woman. Some of there are simply bands of velvet swathed round the head and finished with an aigrette, but, simple as this sounds, it is an adornment impossible to arrange at home, needing skilled and experienced hands. A crownless pork-pie hat is an- other, with a white osprey at the side, the hat itself swathed with crope-de-chine. Little mob caps of guid tissue bung with fringe are among those displayed; and others are lace capa rimmed with "pearls and diamonds." Glass Gspreys are-also-novel, and are certainly prefer able to those stolen from the bird at the cost of much suffering. At the Opera last week a gold cap was seen with diamond at each intersection of the braid of which it was composed; over the ears fall long fringes of gold and diamonds, the latter of course artificial, but very clover imitations of the costly stone. It entirely covered the hair except for few fintly plastered curls on the fore- head,

exclaims, the man who has read what physicians and their patients say about the wonderful achievements of Sauatogen--the food topic with lasting effects.

He has read the reports of physicians, ringing with praise of its value, the opinions of leading authorities, convincing beyond words, and the personal experien ces of famous men and women who by the use of Sanatogen have obtained new vigour and health. He has read how it is composed of the two life-giving substances-pure milk-proteid and organic phosphorus -how scientific and certain is their action upon a Artisticdebilitated nervous system.

A well-known pretty countess wore a pork-pie hat at Ascot, and this has caused! a demand for this more curious than beautiful style of hendigear. milliners tell their customers that the style of hat must depend for its success upen the kind of coiffure, and this is even more true of the pork-pie than of other shapes; unless the hair outpasses it in the whole of its circumference the little hard round looks as though it had alighted by chance on a position which it by no means adorns. The turban, on the other hand, can be adapted in shape to any coiffare. Its folds are swathed

Another reason for the pork pie looking insignificant and even ridiculous is its contrast with the spreading brims of the moment. The enormous hat is ab solutely larger that ever, and though there is no denying that it makes a very becoming frame for the face, yet its in- convenience is su great not only to the wearer, but to those seated next her in crowded conveyances, un grand stands at races, at the recent Horse Show, and slee. where, that a distinct opposition has bo- gun to be felt towards it, not only by women, but by men.

The revivifying, strength-giving effects of Sanatogen are most remarkable in cases of convalescence after Malaria, Dysentery, Enteric Fever and other exhausting tropical diseases. Here is a case in point :-

Mr. Thomas Lyan, c/o Presidency Post Master, G.P.O., Calcutta, writen:-'I had been a martyr to Malaria for four years, becom ing weaker and weaker, with the natural run- down condition and brein fag, nervousness and Dyspepsia. Sanatogen was strongly recom mended by a friend, and I am delighted to say that only two bottles have made an extra- ordinary difference for the better-nay, for the best. I shall always highly recommend Samatogen everywhere I go."

ABOUT SUNSHADES.

the

Season

The sunshade of this season is varied indeed. Some are of the Victorian shape, others are larger than any that has been seen for several years, but the latest is the lamp shade parasol, hexagonal, with a flat top, and mounted on a long stick. One of these, in cherry-coloured taffetas, has the owner's initials carried out in carbuncles: Some of the sun shades seen at Ascot had wonderful jewelled handles, one lady in particular, a beautiful young Marchioness, display ing her monogram in diamonds and tur quoises, the sunshade itself being white lined with palest, bine chiffon, very convenient kind of parasol is that which has the handle-usually a large- sized crook-emerging from the top, the long-pointed stick having the ferrule at its end. Many of the sunshades are frilled round the edge with silk, and some with fringe, but the latter has an Lexusperating way of catching in the hist trimmings, becoming entangled in the grapes so often used, or in the flowers and foliage.

A PASSING FASHION.

A

It is so much the fashion to cover the collar and lapels of the coat with a lawn, crochet or lace collar, that those who de not follow the rule have rather a dingy and unfinished lock. It is a style that, for some reason, never lasts very long, and a friend just returned from Paris tells us that some of the best-dressed. women seen in the Bois and on the Champs Elysées have already abandoned it, wearing only a perfect bloom of either rose or carnation in the left buttonhole. The fact is that cheap imitations of ex- quisitely embroidered lawn and lineo have become so common as. to discredit the mode, and no one takes fright sooner at this state of things than the well-dress-

ed Parisienne.

Little dogs are in again, as the fashion- there is much emulation about the jewel- able accompaniment of smart women, and lery worn by these small noisy creatures. Bracelets even are pressed into the ser vice, and one wonders what the little animals think of their precious adorn

One of them was noticed at a

As it was com posed of sapphires and diamonds set in an expanding trellis of gold, the owner showed some annoyance when her atten. tion was directed to this very natural performance.

A representative of The Observer found it to be a small octavo book of 120 or 130 Sir William Tite, once its owner, pages. had the little book handsomely bound and its well-preserved pages edged with gift. From its title-page we see that it is:-

The Hon. Mr. Justice

Robertson,

Judge of the Supreme Court, Lahore, Punjab, writes:-"My experience with Sanatogen has been very favourable, I took it for some montius during the most trying season of the year, and found it a great strengthener,*'

Sir Charles A. Cameron,

CB, M.D., etc. writes:-- Sanatogen is a substance of the highest nutritive value, contain ing as it does a large amount of organic phos phorus, in exactly the form in which it can be eaally absorbed. It is an excellent nerve food."

Mr. Shirley Tremcarat. Editor of "Capital," 8, Clive Street, Calcutta, writes:-* I cannot speak too highly of Sanstogen, it not only kept me up during a sharp attack of fever, but afterwards re- stored me ouve more to full vigour. In fact, I was better and stronger after this coure of Sanat- ogen than before the attack."

The Medical Times" saya: There is no doubt whatever that the nutri tion of patients taking Saualoges Improves won- derfully, due, in all pro- bability, to its being cusz of assimilation and to the organic absorbable phor- pliorus which it ́ ́con- Laits,"

Sir Gilbert Parker, M.P the popular Novelist. writes: ", Carlton House Terrace, London, S.W.I have used Sanat- ogen with catraordinary benefit. T1 is to any mid a true food tonic, feed- ing the nerves, increasing the energy, and giving fresh vigour to the over worked body and mind."

Prof. Dr. C. A. Ewald,

of Berlin University, writes: I bave used Samotogen in a number of cases, mainly of a nervous or neurasthenic origin, and have obtained excel lent results."

We are also assured that it has been "Carefully collected for the benefit of all dealers that shall have occasion with any of them; directing them at the first sight of their name to the place of their abode.”

It was printed in London, in the year 1877, for Sam Lee and sold at his shop in Lumbard-street, near Pope's Head- alley, and Dan Major, at the Flying Horse, in Fleet-street."

In the reign of Charles II. books had to be licensed, just as plays have to be at the present time. Accordingly, on the page facing the title, we read:

Each page contains some twenty names and addresses, the former being printed in clear black Old English type and the latter in italics.

There were many odd names amongst the merchants of London three hundred years ago. Those beginning with "0 may be taken as typical:-
