Next time you hwra disagreeable cough, don't let it wear you out. Get a box of Zymole Trckeys ; they loosen the cough and stop the irritation.* The appended fashion notes, up-to-date, should be of interest to our feminine readers: — Colours in women's costumes drop in and out of fashion with extraordinary rapidity, and the range of those suitable for outdoor wear is curiously limited. Navy blue is the exception, for it is the standby of many, and its popularity never varies, summer or winter. But in the paler shades, blue has its ups and downs. For example, blue is announced as the season's colour, but only the colder tints are permissible. So sky, nattier, cornflower, Wedgwood, and all other varieties of the neutral tones are in demand. A year or so ago we were all for bluey-green turquoise, and would not look at any other shade ; but now turquoise is taboo, 3xcept ir narrow ribbon for threading underwear. Pink is another colour that has to be chosen with discretion. In the "faded" and "old tints" it has a fairly good daylight effect, especially in linen or Shantung silk, but as affording a note of contrast it is usually a failure, and the full, rosy tones are always best avoided. Last year purple hats, sunshades, belts, shoes, and handbags were the feature of most toilets with which this adaptable colour could be blended, and this year it is fairly certain that the winter fancy for bright green will last. At all events, therj is no doubt that, when properly chosen, it strikes a most effective note. Yet vivid green only looks well in velvet or in the glossy mr.kes of rilk. Woollen material and dull silks, such as glace or Japanese, are commonplace, and even ostrich feathers should be shunnad unless they are of exceptional quality. The blending of white and black for gowns and hats is even, more popular than ever, but to be successful it must be always white and black not black and white. There are prophecies that yellow will see the bright light of day again, but that is not at all certain, for this hue needs an artificial light to be becoming. Still we aro open to conviction, and it is said that a rich shade of amber, known as "paJo ale," is having a tremendous vogue in London and Paris. TTTAAT ITTAAT
