In the park of an afternoon, if you
take the trouble to go there. when it is
raining little, you will see that the
pretty turnouts and the fair drivers
who are out on the bright days have not
permitted the stormy weather to keep
them indoors. With the driving cloak
outtoned tightly around her, and n soft
felt hat upon her head. tho woman who
mas been facing the sea spray, and who
mas known the dash of the foam all sum-
mcr' IS not dismayed by the downfall
OF the fresh, clear October rain, and Is
out us usual taking her afternoon drive
with even moro enjoyment in her face
and buoyancy of manner than on the
clear days when the elements are not
considered disturbing to womankind.
or course the driving cloak is Mack
intosh, but no one knows that, because
it is so beautifully disguised. The out
side is of striped material, which looks
exactly like tweed, and, indeed, if the
Macintosh be of the most approved
order, it is really tweed with the water
proof cloth underneath. The collar
and the tie which are SO trim and snug
about the neck, arc likewise of Macl1in-
tosh-Macllintosh cloth, made and
fitted after this fashion. The hat is one
OF the soft shape SO popular this fall
and is trimmed with band of cloth
and a bow of the same.
Upright upon one side of it there
stands a bit of plumage which bears
the weather we'll. 1t does not become
draggled under even the smartest rain,
because it has been accustomed TO
showers and has been wet so many
times that it's native clement is water

. The driving gloves are very impor-
tant part of woman's dress. Prince
Plcss, who is to marry Miss Corvallis
West, is SO proud of the hands of his
fair fancce that lie has presented
her with four dozen pairs of the hand
soonest driving gloves, beautifully
stitched up the back and of all colors;
so that Miss West may wear different
pair each time that she goes out to
drive, and in that way she may vary
the monotony of set costume which
might otherwise become more or less
monotonous.
Of at-home gowns there is surely no
end, and indeed there should be none,
because, since home is woman's sphere,
it is fitting that she should put more
taste and thought upon the gowns that
she is to wear at home than upon those
which sic is to wear elsewhere. With

Wings beatin' through the air.

"Of sinnin' weary grown,

Never forth such notes, nor told
Hours so blithe in tones so bold.

GooD News. We want every mother
to know that Group can be prevented.
True Group never appears without a
warning. The first symptom is hoars-
ness, then the child appears to haye
taken cold or cold may have accom-
panied the hoarseness from the start.
After that peculiar rough cough is de-
veloped, which is followed by the Group.
The time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse; a few doses of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy would prevent
the attack. Even after the rough cough
has appeared, the disease may be pre-
vented by using this remedy as directed.
The only safe way is to keep 80 cent
bottle of the Remedy in the house for
use whenever symptoms of the disease
appear. For sale by Jos. I. Bennett.
