De rat PROSPECTS, in Kentucky

The registration law of kentucky re-
quires the voter to declare his party af-
filiations when he enrolls his name in
the registry books. Under this system
forecast of the ensuing elections result.
Nearly all of the towns and cities which
gave Bradley and Mckinley majorities
show heavy democratic gains in the reg
istration. Basing their claims on this
exhibit of the party's recuperation, the
regular democrats in Kentucky are
flushed with confidence of victory in No
Vember.

Cure
ScrOfuld

1t ought to interest everybody to
know that the terrible affection
called Scrofula is the forerunner of a
still more terrible disease. Scrofula
is the seed of consumption. 1t is so
~deep-seated and obstinate that not
one doctor in a hundred can cure it.
To cure Scrofula, you must cure the
blood. You must go down to the
roots and reach deep. A Guessing
over with mineral poisons is not
only useless, but makes things a
great deal worse.

New York.-The Casino hops at New
port are much more brilliant than
earlier In the season and are bringing
out the handsomest evening dresses
seen this summer. Mrs. John r. Drexel,
who is one Of the most beautiful of the
younger matrons. appeared the other
night in olive green tulle trimmed with
violets knotted with cream-colored rib
bons. Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll, whose
gowns are almost invariably artistic in
design. wore pale yellow satin with
sequin embroidery on bodice and skirt
seams. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr..
was dressed in white satin embroidered
with small bouquets of lilies of the val
ley exquisitely worked. Mrs. Calvin
Brice wore black tulle embroidered In
silver; some dark red roses on the
bodice gave touch of color TO this very
becoming toilette. One of her daugh-
tiers wore rose-colored satin with trim
mings of pink embroidered chiffon.
Mrs. Elisha Dyer. Jr.'s, costume was
pale blue satin with costly lace decora-
tions. Miss Edith Cushing was gowned
in pink embroidered crepe de chine
edged with a quaint silver bordering. 1t
was noticeable that most of these but
terfly gowns were cutwith square decol-
letage and that the skirts were even
more airily beflounced than is usual
with afternoon dresses.
Avery successful costume for country
wear in early September is of French
gray silk with triple rows of black vel
vet ribbon running around the skirt ut
intervals. Each row is caught with n
tiny steel buckle, The folded bodice
opens over an ivory satin waistcoat
with application of guipure lace and
narrow black velvet. and this in turn is
cut to reveal an undervest of folded
orange-colored chiffon. A big black hat
completes this toilette, and is trimmed
with roses and white ospreys.
Another smart gray dress just put in
commission is of China silk scattered
over with pink rosebuds. The basque

pearances. A charming example Il of
white brilliantine, cut In princess style
and edged along the opening from
shoulder TO ground with q tiny frill OF
dark green ribbons looking out from
under ecru lawn guipure. The same
decoration Is carried round the hem and
about the white zouave. which Is cov-
cred with a jet lattice work. and which
rises Mt the throat in Medici collar. A
dark green velvet hat is intended for
this costume and is trimmed with Grim
son roses and white paradise piumes.
Another demi-season walking dress Is
of green silk with white figures. The
skirt is finished ut the hem with alter
nate frills OF green and white gauze rib
bon, headed with band of green em-
broiiercd gnuze. The fronts of the
folded bodice are edged with bands Of
gauze embroidered in green and black
and open upon a vest of plated white
chiffon. Tight coat sleeves are used
with rufiies OF the silk carried about the
armholes and finished with frillings of
gauzy ribbon. A white Eeghoru hat Is
to be worn with gurlands of roses and
heavy dark green foliage.
The Indications are dresses
for the autumn will be longer than for
several seasons. There has been a revo-
luton in London in this particular:
Last spring walking skirts were much
shorter there than here. bnt now trains
are talkedabont seriously. A somewhat
heavier dress than those before de-
scribed is Of u soft creamy brown cloth
with skirt filings of silk of q somewhat
darker shade. The full bodice is ar
ranged with three rnches of ecru chif-
fon set across from shoulder to Shout
der with up and down plaits of the silk
below. There are rather tight ruched
sleeves. This dress is long enough TO
lie on the ground behind.
The yividness of August colors is mod
flied for later wear. Dark blue and
green will be much in vogue in Sep

still third costume of the same color
is travelling dress not yet quite I'm

September bride. The material is pale
gray moheir. patterned infinitely with
crossing lines of gray satin and azure
blue. The top of the skirt is completed
with folding belt and wide loops Of
blue caught with tilagree silver discs.
The bodice is of sky blue chiffon. ac-

costume worn by matron who is per-

striped with white. Bandsof cream up

blue straw toque accompanied this dress
with decorations of white roses
Quite novel gown worn on the same
occasion was of dark and light blue
foulard, with the skirt made in three
founces edged with deep borders Of
filmy batiste embroidery in cream and
blue. A simulated underskirt, upon
which it apparently opened in front.
was a panel covered half way up with
batiste ruches. finishing to the waist
with puffings and rows of embroidery
alternately. Blouse waist and sleeves
repeated the treatment Of embroidery

,tember. Another combination to be
continued in favor Ia black and white
glace, with either green or light blue
glace at the waist. Reds that tone to
pink and manves that approach to red
will remain among the best worn
shades. The newest reds for autumn
are glowiDgly brilliant but the tints
are yet soft and not trying.
Comparatively light silks will be worn
later than usual this season. judging
from present Indications. With them
and following them checked tweeds are
planning q vigorous campaign. At q
pretty garden party a few days ago a
very correct and dainty toilette was of
black and white striped silk. with mar
row fiounces of pale green silk gauze
edged with white guipnre. The tight
fitting bodice opened in front with
small revers. showing gimp OF green
gauze and guipure. A capote was worn
of black gauze and roses.

striped across with very narrow black
velvet ribbon. There are long sleeves
to match. plain but rather full at the
top. To this costume is added short
jacket in navy blue with small basques
and open in front
Tea gowns are of all seasons. A new
and very attractive one is Of white silk
with angel sleeves. tits drawn close
into the waist. showing n blue sash and
blue plastron worked with silver.
By the way, silk sashes Of three or
four yards in length are good pur-
chase Just now. They are pretty GER
tain to be used all winter as decorative
additions TO all sorts of evening gowns.
