Fur for Winter Wear.

Woman's thoughts are now turn
ing naturally toward the coy
warmth of furs and fur-trimmed
garments; consequently there is a
lively interest in the discussion as tC
which furs promise to be most IA
vored this winter. Sable, the rich
est of all furs, will lead the way,
closely followed by sealskin, which
in point of fact never is out of fash
ion. There are to be countless com
binations not only Of different furs,
but cloth, lace and iewelled en-
broideries. Sable used in conjunc-
ton with seal is destined to be first
favorite. Mink, Persian lamb and
seal are among the popular trim
.mings for outer garments. Furs are
becoming much employed in con-
junction with brocades and velvets,

The Childish Holiday.

Children alone of human beings
have the capacity for unadultrated
enjoyment. Their childhood there
fore should be the holiday of life.
Its slave day will soon be upon them,
and then farewell forever to tn g
merry world without a responsible
ty, fear, or care which is their
rightful abiding place until borne
out into the tumult and the strife OF
the world!

Dealing with Children.

Dealing with ones children, GER
tainly she is the wise mother who
knows when TO be conveniently
blind, says an experienced mother.
There can be no hard and fixed laws
in regard to the management of lit
tie ones without doing them a cruel
Injustice. Sometimes a child is sick,
nervous, unstrung, and the fault
that another time might be punished
should be ignored. Indeed one is
tempted to say that too much man.
agement, too many rules, cOntin-
ual reminding of little breaches Of
manner or grammar, are worse than
no management at all. There has
always been a wistful pathos in the
story of the little boy who thought
his name was Johnny Don't"
"But that is impossible" urged some
one. ut is what they call me at
home," persisted the little fellow in
all good faith. Perhaps this kindly
cultivated virtue of timely blind
ness is only another name for tact.
1t ignores all that is unpleasant and
wisely judges of the appropriate
ness of time and season. When we
come home tired and worn, it is
blind to the fact that we have
thrown ourselves on the best sofa
and deposited our hat on the floor.
When we are absorbed with grief or
worry, it does not see the brusque-
ness with which we may have an
swered question. There is no
other quality than this convenient
blindness which makes so much for
Observation-Disclosures.

styles in Brief.

Moire poplins and moire velours
are to be worn again this season.
Silk fringes, especially in the mar
row Widths, are used for dress trim
ming.
Crepe de Chine trimmed elabo-
rately with black Chantilly lace in
applique, makes charming dinner
dresses.
Pink is the leading color for even
ing gowns, and If it is combined with
violet you have the latest within of
fashion.
The noticeable feature of dress
trimming is a floral applique, made
of silk gulpure and braid. Jet, too,
is very conspicuously mixed with
embroidery.
One of the latest novelties in gold
trinkets is a little fan chain, fas-
tened at the side of the belt, from
which a very small fan is suspended
Light cOlOrs in cloth are the cor
rect thing for afternoon and recep-
tion gowns, aud all sorts of jeweled
embroidery on bright velvets are
used, as a trimming.
Lace is universally used this sea-
son on both light and dark gowns,
We have lace vests, lace cravats,
lace bows in our hats, and lace
everywhere that it can be arranged
with good effect.
Plaid hosiery is attractively dis
played in the shop windows, and
every conceivable mixture of colOrs
is represented in this article of dress.
There are silk and wool, silk and
Isle, all wool, silk, and cotton to
suit every shade Of temperature.
Pear-shaped pearls are the fancy
of the moment, and, of course, they
are rare and expensive, having in
creased in price in proportion as they
became in demand. The pure white
ness of the pearls Is best preserved
by constantly wearing it or keeping
it in the sun. III.
Lace gowns of every sort and kind
are fashionable. White Brussels
lace il very simple design, made
over with white taffeta and plainly
hemmed ut the bottom, makes one
of the pretty new evening dresses.
1t has long transparent sleeves and
a fichu trimmed with Brussels edg-
ing draped around the shoulders.
French women claim credit for a
clever device for decreasing the APP
parent size of the abdomen by fas-
tening their stocking supporters on
either side of the corset steel di-
rectly in front. This holds the cor
set down and well in place, and has
the additional advantage of doing
way with the strain on the hips

Smart Homemade Gowns.

A surprising number of the we'll
dressed women you meet are arrayed
in costumes manufactured by their
own hands. Some of the smartest
cycling costumes worn are "hOme-
made as are many handsome street
and evening dresses. Yet so well
and so cleverly are they constructed
that there is never hint of "home-
madeness" about them.
1t used to be, much more so than
at the present time, that those who
could not afford the services of a
dressmaker were the ones who made
their own clothes. Indeed it was
not unusual to hear woman boast
fully remark that she could not
thread a needle or sew a straight
seam, so ignorant was she of sewing.
Nowadays many well-tO-do women
consider i. great accomplishment
to be able to BIO independent of dress
makers. They have learned how to
sew, how to cut and fit and drape.
Their sewing rooms are fitted with
modern appliances. There is a form
over which skirts may be hung and
justed. A bust form, over which
corsages may be draped and arrang-
ed, is one of the necessary adjuncts.
Where the home dressmaker has not
supplied herself with system"
she is guided in her cutting by pat
terms"
1t is the woman of limited means
who derives the greatest benefit
from knowing how to sew well, for
oftentimes the expense of dress is
not in the material, but in the max
ing. Therefore she who makes her
own may afford two dresses for the
price of one.-Katherine Worden in
Woman's Home Companion.

Here is case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the fortunes
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. ]. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 27o
Snodgrsss street, Dallas, Texas, writes ::
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. II
gave him great deal of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
cater much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but l thought it was the
only hope for my hoy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many REM
edies without relief. and finally upon the
advice of friend decided to try SIS.
(Swift's Specihc), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was a permanent one, for he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had sign of the dreadful disease to re-
turn"
S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seaed obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc.
1t is the only blood remedy guaranteed

A Delicious Omelet soufiie.

For an omelet souffie separate six
eggs, measure and sift three table
spOonfuls of powdered sugar. See
that the oven is hot and have every
thing in readiness. Beat the whites
of the eggs to a very stiff frOth.
Beat the yolks of three eggs; add
them to the whites; add a grated
rind of half lemon, the sugar and
tablespoonful of lemon juice; mix
quickly. Heap into baking-dish
dust with powdered sugar, and bake
in quick oven for five or eight
minutes. Serve hot and as quickly
as possible.-Mrs. s. T. Rorer.

An Unfortunate.

The person who has nothing to do
is unfortunate. We were made to
work. For that reason there is joy in
achieving. Our reward is not meas
ured by the pay we receive. Our
satisfaction is in the success we
have in beholding the results of our
endeavors. In the church the same
rule holds. Some good people are
spelling for the want of good works.
The spirit languishes unless it re-
news its strength in the service of
the Lord. Spiritual achievement
and spiritual vigor go hand in hand.

The ShOrtness of Life.

The shortness Of life is bound up
with it's fullness. 1t Is to him who
is most active, always thinking,
feeling, working caring for people
and for things, that life seems short.
Strip life empty and it will seem
long enough.

have failed to give satisfactory results, and
IL there is u person to be found who has
used them without benefit we want to know
who he Is and where to find him. They
never fail to cure kidney and bladder trou-
bles and affections of the genital organs

Being the only remedy ever compounded
that fully meets the logical physiological
conditions OF the human system, IL is no
wonder that they give results unknown to
medical scieLce. No matter III the doctors
and all remedies have failed, try the
Tablets and be convinced that they are SUI

on the nerve centers Is complete surprise
to physicians who have used them. Cases
that have batiied the skill OF best physi-

Rains Fiji the LaIses-FaII Season
Opening.


Sanford. Fla. Sept. H.-The frequent
and heavy rains of the past two weeks
have had a wonderful effect upon the
lakes which are now higher than they
have been for several seasons. OF course
the rains damaged streets and roads to
some extent, but our real gains by them
far exceed the losses.
This is Sanford's opening day of the
season, as 1t brings to one wharf the ele-
CANT passenger steamer City of Jackson
vile, in charge Of Capt. William A.
Shaw, the veteran commander of the st.
Johns river line From now on we shall
have a steady stream of river travel as
we'll as the passengers of seven railroad
lines, which center here from various
points.
on Saturday the Sanford house will be
opened by Manager A. Robbins with a
ball, which promises to be great social
event. A handsome band stand has been
erected on the lawn and the Cornet Band
will furnish music.
Rev. j. S. Geiger, of Bronson, has be-
come pastor of the Baptist church, and
gives it part of his time. The Congrega-
tional church is still without pastor but
have occasional pulpit supplies Father
Fox of the Roman Catholic church is
home, after visit to Newport, R. l., and
the other pastors are on duty.
All our industrial concerns are prosper
ing, and have entered the business season
full of hope for the future The same is
true of our merchants, many of whom re-
port that the new clay roads are bringing
additional trade to their counters.
Reports from all neighboring towns
show that there will be few if any vacant
houses this season. Many families that
have paronized hotels in the past have
concluded that it is cheaper and more
pleasant to keep house here in the win
ter, and this has made a good demand for
all kinds of residences, mostly however
in suburban towns within easy access of
Sanford and Orlando. This class of win
ter visitors promises to be unusually
large the present season, and is always
profitable to our retail merchants.
