The Lady says That woman is ready to sacrifice everything co the Moloch of fashion is proved hy the fact that she has now consented to sacrifice her waist to it. The dress which has created a new type of femininity, known in Paris as ‘la femme tube,’ is hnilt straight tip and down, with only the merest indication of a waist. It is designed on the lines of a soutane or cassock, and its distinguishing mark is the: rigidly severe line of buttons which fasten it, or appear to fasten it. A few years ago, if such a dress,: unblessed by the priestess of fashion, had been brought to an ordinary woman of the world, she would have laughed at the idea of wearing it. “Why, it has no waist, ” she would have exclaimed, and by that exclamation would have considered that she had disposed of the garment. Even now English women are not taking to the waistless fashions with the same fervour as their French sisters. Yet the •spirit of compromise only brings disaster.” BOILS. This is the season of the year when boils are' troublesome. _ When they appear, and exhibit persistency by daily enlargement and increasing pain, suppuration should be pro- , moted hy warm poultices of bread and linseed meal, to which a little oil should be added; or warm and stimulating embrocations, exposure to the vapour of hot water, or the application of stimulating plasters may be adopted. The diet may be full and regular till the discharge Of the matter, when it should be'lessened, and the bowels kept in natural operation by the regular use of IMPEY’S MAY AP r PLE. Where there is a disposition in the constitution to boils, Impey’s May Apple should he used right through the Bummer months; this is a certain preventive, as those who have used it can testify. Boils or other eruptions cannot exist whem the blood is pure, but in order to keep it pure tho stomach, liver, kidneys and . bowels must perform their natural functions. When they fail, or refuse to act properly, a few doses of Impey’a May Apple will bring about Hthe desired result. Price 2e 6d.
