Trimmcd and Trained slkirtx

The fact is well established now that long trailing skirts are to Do worn with house gowns. By house gowns are meant evening gowns, reception gowns or any gowns suited for house wear. As yet we have not gone back to long skirts for street wear, although even walking gowns have the skirts long enough to require holding up in the street. Many of the long skirts are extremely graceful. There is one style which is made with very little goring, fitting quite sheath like, with the fullness laid in small plaits, but cut to flare out at tho end of the train. In soft silks, satins, roplins and cashmeres this is very attractive, for the lines are so graceful. The plain look is broken by bands of trimming either down the seams or around the foot or else with patterns of embroidery and cut work put on the front breadth. There is evidently an intention of re- storing drapery, for some very smart skirts have the front and side breadths long enough to allow of draping just a little back Of the hip and showing a glimpse of an underpetticoat of differ ent material. This is becoming style Of skirt and looks especially we'll when the back breadths are long enough to train. n.-Harper's s Bazar.

Garters In Plaids.

Garteis have come out in Roman stripes and plaids ilKe everything else. The new garter buckle is a four leaf clover under crystal like those which both men and women have been wearing fot watch charms and chatelaines.
 The sentiment against round garters is growing stronger as the athletic in- terest spreads It is simply impossible to endure the stoppage of circulation when one is taking violent exercise. Hence the up and down style grows in favor. Folks who have buckles intended for the round style can put them on the strap just above the fork of the garter.
 A striped pair of this kind has a rosette of Roman. stripe ribbon where the garter forks, and the straps which form the fork are also made of ribbon A four leaf clover gold buckle is set on above the rosette, and the clasps which fasten to the stocking are also of gold. The same style may be had with silver buckles and clasps for $3 50.

OF physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,. and ST. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me TO submit to a re-

This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good. and even
their resorts TO the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only

age she was purchased by the Con-
tederate agents in Europe and fitted
out as a cruiser in the Confederate
service, primarily to disperse and des-
