when the lowe. Are Di-ordered

No time should be lost in resortlng to n
suitable remedy. Hostctter's stomach Bit
tors is the most reliable and widely es-
termed medicine of its class. 1t removes
the causes OF constipation, or OF undue re-
taxation OF the intestines, which are usual
ly indigestion or a misdirection OF tho bile.
When it acts as a cathartic, It does not
gripe and violently eyacuate. but produces
gradual and natural effects, very unlike
those OF q drastic purgative; and its power
OF assisting digestion nullincs those irritat-
ing conditions OF the mucous membrane OF
the stomach and Intestinal canal which
produce first diarrhoea, and eventually dys-
entcry. The medicine Is, moreover, an
agreeable one, and cminently pure and
wholesome. Appetite and Tranquil nightly
slumber are both promoted by 1t.

"Why, should put it plainly to him

But wouldn't he be very angry?"
asked Kate, anxiously.

"Oh. that's easily arranged, dear"

And having made up his mind to his

quiely slipped out of the house. so that
no one was ware that he had been at

over almost in silence; but when the
servants had Quilted the room Kate for
titled herself with an extra glass Of
port and opened the campaign.

Kate literally gasped at this. She had
expected anger, censure, remonstranco

took her breath.

short, will full basques and broad re-
vers that turned back to show a cream
silk sweater.
The cuffs and revers we're Of buff
pique, with straps of brown silk braid.
Being fashioned Of such light material,
a kilt plaided skirt was none too heavy
for this practical little travelling suit.
Worn with this gown was big, rough
straw hat of golden brown, trimmed
with big bows of green and cream
striped ribbon.
1t is interesting to note how pros
porous the shops that cater to the chill
dren's gowns have become. Mothers
enjoy visiting therefor what mother
but thinks OF daughters-and young
women drop in because they often
catch a style that, while intended for
child, is very becoming to grown fig
ure, giving it more youthfulness Of out
line. And in Paris the fault of the
modistes is the old figure given to all
women, young and old. A girl just
passing young maidenhood is laced and
padded into the big hipped woman of
many seasons. For that reason the
girls dress is becoming.
One very pretty dress intended for
girl of IL will be worn by young
woman of two seasons in society. 1t is
dress with an independent skirt. The
skirt is full and round. Over it there
falls polonaise opened at each side to
the waist. The front is gathered at
the waist line and the back is gathered
in the same way. The polonaise hangs
plain otherwise. The material is a
lowered cambria and the underskirt is
old rose to match the flowers. The fig
ure is given slender, immature look
very becoming to a girl who does not
want 10 get past her first two sea-
sons with too much suddenness.
The childrens ribbon waists with
ribbon run through batiste and tied un-
til the waist fits, is another model liked
by grown girls.
A belle whose gowns make her the
talk of Monte Carlo and of Nice and
Newport, each in their own good sea-
son. has dull, coffee brown batiste ar
ranged with flaming scarlet ribbons.

straight one, with the one careful work
done in the fitting of the sleeves, which
are set in the shoulder seams in the
most fashionable way.
Around the neck, which lies low upon
the throat, there runs small scarlet
satin ribbon tied demurely at the back
of the neck. Three inches lower upon
the throat there runs another ribbon
also tied in little rosette at the back.
There is a very slight fullness in the
batiste that lies fiat under the ribbons.
The waist has three rows of the scar
let ribbons. the upper one extending up
well towards the bust The lower one
marks the waist line in an easy way
and all are secured with rosettes at the
back. The sleeves have ribbon around
the wrist. Each ribbon is finished with
rosette, giving the upper part of the
hand and arm very neat appearance.
With a dress like this it is almost ne
cessary to have maid unless there are
kind-hearted people in the family that
will tie the ribbons carefully after they
are strung in the waist.
There is nothing prettier than rib
