Old rose and several other of those
soft tints are offered, and will make
up beautiful dresses. One model
gown in a beautiful tint between old
rose and terra Gotta had the skirt
trimmed with three rows of garnet
velvet ribbon an inch wide. These
extended down each side of the
front Of the skirt and around the
bottom. The waist was a blouse,
with diamond shaped insets of
white linen, edged with narrow lace
down the front and down each side
of the sleeves. The belt was pointed
and covered with white kid. There
was furnished with this a boa of
delicate gray ostrich tlues and felt
hat, bound with garnet velvet.
There was round boa of the same
kind of feathers about the entire
crown. This is quite new fancy,
but one that is bound to take from
its oddity. MANY hats are now

One of the novelties for September
is smooth and fine mohair in
checks of gray, and black and white.
The checks, or rather squares, are
almost as big as those of the check
er-board, and, of course, the gowns
made of this fabric are striking.
From fine and almost invisible
checks to very large ones the range
in checks runs. The woman who is
stout selects the tiny checks, while
the woman who is slender takes ad-
vantage of the opportunity and looks
her very best in the large ones.
Blue and white, brown and white,
and green and white are quite as
modish as black and white, though
the combination of black and white
has for a long time been thought
more elegant and, as matter of
fact, it is.
Many of the checked gowns will
be combined with plain cloth. For
example, a brown and tan cloth will
have vest, cuffs, revers and wide
bands on the skirt of brown cloth
this often deliberately braided or en-
broldered. A black and white
checked gown. has such flnishings OF
white mohair braided in black and
silver.

WHO'LL BE THE FIRST TO GO?

] look around on the loved ones
BY the freside's ruddy glow,
And / ask my heart in whisper,
Solemn and soft and low,
When the angel shall come to grleve us,
And one must surely leave us,
Who'll be the first to go?
Across deaths darkened portal
Some step must falteringgo,
Some face must lie in its shadow,
Some pulse must tlutter low.
When the angel shall come to grieve us,
And one must surely leave us,
Which one will have to go?
OF all that unseen glory
Some face will catch the glow,
Some heart find first the healing
Where the restful waters flow.

And one must surely leave u.s..

gia Conference, gives his experience in
the use of the tablets:

She Was Not Concerned.

Lately several ministers, in COM
pairing notes of their work, were tell
ing of their ill success in preaching
personal sermons-thOse which are
supposed to be general, but really
are directed against the known
weaknesses of members of their con-
gregations.
One of the clergymen, in illustra-
ton of his position, told of an Eng
lish rector who thought his parish
toner's were getting 50 wicked that
he must tell them what would be-
come of them if they did not mend
their mays. He preached severe
sermon on the eternal fate of the
wicked, and afterward sought to
Improve" the lesson by personal
admonition.
Meeting one day an old woman
who was noted for her gossiping dis
position he said to her:

in your mind. You heard what /
said about that place where there
shall be wailing and gnashing of
teeth?"

dame, "if as anything to say. it be

The
Ri8htRenledy

The disastrous effects of potash and
mercury, which the doctors always pre-
scribe for Contagious Blood Poison,
should convince anyone that these are
not the proper remedies for this horrible
disease. Instead of forcing the poison
from the system, and getting rid of it
forever, potash and mercury only bottle
it up, and by driving in the outward
appearance of the disease, induce the
patient to think he is being cured. But
he sees his mistake before long, when
his joints become stiff and his bones
ache-often his hair will fall out by the
handful and if he follows the doctors
advice and continues to take his medi-
cine, his finger nails will drop off.
There is a cure for this destructive
disease, though no doctor has ever yet
cured it. Ofco1rse they may pronounce
a patient cured, but The disease has
never failed to return, with increased
severity. SIS. (Swilt's Specifc) is a
permanent cure, and is the only remedy
free from harmful Ingredients. 1t is

Xoman,a Devotion.

Here is a true story of woman's de-
votion: A wife, older than her hus-
band, awOke to the conviction that
she was more and more addicted to
snoring. She was confirmed in this
conviction by thoughtlesS remarks
of her husband. A sensible woman
she knew that she was not cOmely,
and she suspected him of marrying
her for her money. She was piteous-
ly fond of him, and she fought for
his love. She went quietly to ply
stefan. He told her the snoring was
connected in some way with a catar-
rhal trouble and recommended an
operation. She suffered incOnven-
fence and pain through the remedy
ing, but she was rewarded when her
husband said: whats the matter
with you old girl? l haven't heard
you snore for week"
All this happened a dozen years
ago. The husband, a heavy, injudi-
cious eater and drinker, snores at
night and even in his sluggard's
chair after dinner. He snores 50
vehemently that guests wake in
alarm, although they are a floor
above. The wife listens without re-
monstrance. She loves, adOres He
is her husband, and when her Sis
ter, visiting said: Louise, don't
see how you stand it," she flushed
with anger and replied: He is my
husband, and 1 know that he is near
me. Boston Journal.

as if the brOcading was done in silk,

Notes.
The apron form of putting on trim
ming will be one of the popular
modes.
The Victorian sloping effect will
hold sway over the shoulders of
evening gowns during the coming
winter.
Grecian effects seem to have taken
new hold on feminine fancy.
The silk gown will find a place in
the wardrobe of every woman who
can afford it.
Boas of white and gray feathers,
and those of gauze, will be con-
sidered very modish worn around
the neck with evening gowns.
Some of the gauzy bOas are made
very wide and very full, the ends
tapering down. These boas are not
long, being designed to throw care
lessly about the neck and to just fall
over the shoulder. The ends may
be finished with bows and stream
ers of ribbon or punches of flowers.
BOas of tulle are spangled or jeweled
and though quite inexpensive and
easily made, are quite elegant in
appearance and greatly add to the
richness and becOmingness of even
ing toilets.
We are going to wear spangles
again, both in jet and colors, al
though the former will be especial
ly fashionable, says a New York
fashion letter. Jet bands in span
giles and cOlored jewels are very
effective, and jet edgings and passe-
menterIes will appear on many cos
tunes. Steel and jet in cOmbina-
ton is one of the new garnitures
and blouse fronts of black net en-
broidered in jet and colors will also
be much worn.
Both in texture and construction
the new fashions are decidedly more
becoming than for some time past
Soft plating, draperies and folds
are the order of the day, and the
variety of material is endless. The
colors also are much more soft and
harmonious, the neutral tints being
greatly in favor, the brighter tints
being merely employed to relieve

The new silks are Of more brilliant

Not only are the changeable silks
still with us, but those of this sea

color combinations possible t.

all running lengthwise, are yer!

Illuminated black woollen goods for
