A Whiting Costume.

A smart walking costume, made of a
serviceabe, yet fairly substantial, mater
ial which can be trimmed prettily on the
bodice, is a necessity, and here is charm
ing and very novel design possessing all
these advantages. The material used is
faced cloth in a pretty shade of fawn, and
the skirt, which is in the very latest fash
ion, has a shaped band round the hips,
which extends to the hem of the skirt in
front, and is covered with several rows of
machine stitching. The rest of the skirt,
which is gored at the top to leave only a
little fullness to gather into the shaped
band. is lined through with soft silk or satin
of delicate shade of turquoise blue.
The coatee, which can be made like a
bodice, with tight-fitting lining and loose
fronts joined in at the shoulder and under
arm seams, has a vest of pale turquoise
blue silk, with ecru lace insertions on the
yoke, and points of handsome lace are
turned out Of the edge of the coat fronts.
The sleeves are tucked all the way down.
except at the elbows, where the material is
let loose, and points of creamy lace are
seen at the wrists. The drawn waistband
Is of black panne velvet. The stylish hat
which completes this toilet is made of
tucked glace silk to match the dress, and
is trimmed with turquoise blue rosettes and
black and fawn ostrich feathers
This charming model could be carried
out equally we'll in cloth of any other color
and also in black. 1t is also suitable for
serges, coatings and other autumn ma
terialS.

bows of liberty satin ribbon. or lat aral row

bows of liberty satin ribbon. or lat eral row

the little waist can be very sweetly cut

big bow knots of ribbon. or any fancy that
widens the shoulders with wing-like eff
feet, is smiled upon, though the high necked
and long sleeved little girl and the girl
with the f1uttering sash ribbon of pastel
tone is as frequent figure at the dancing
parties as those in grander toilets.
Boys, meanwhile, for festive afternoon
gatherings, have adopted smart little black
suits made of soft faced vicuna, the trousers
long, the coat cut short in the tails on the
Tuxedo pattern, and its shawl revers faced
with black satin. A white low cut waist
coat of fancy silk, fastened by gilt buttons,
is worn over white stiff bosomed shirt
that is topped by tall collar and white tie.
The whole toilet, in fact, is a miniature
copy Of that the older men wear to infor-
nal dinners and the effect is quaint and
not at all unbecoming to the peachy cheek
ed little fellows who feel very manly and
dignified in their grown UP toys and ere
in consequence far more gallant and formal

GOLD IN MILLINERY.

Will Be Conspicuous. but Not in the
Present Popular shapes.
From the Millinery Trade Review.
In the short space of a month a very
decided reaction has taken place with re-
spect to one form of gold trimming, name
ly. the gold woven gallons used to tie about
crowns. Such an easy method of decora-
ton was bound to become popular imme-
diately. and, therefore to be avoided by
milliners of repute. The gold buckle, how
ever. still maintains its position but steel
promises to run it close this winter, while
some of the latest productions, in chased
gold buckles and other kindred ornaments
are set with colored stones Instead of
wide gallons, narrow gold brafds are being
! used for making rosettes, but probably
these will, before long, share the fate of
the former. Bands of black or white tulle
worked with gold and filigree, and orna-
ments in relief. will continue in demand,
| and also Luxuiel and other lace made up
of gold lace braid or merely with the open
portions worked in gold twist. These WILL
however, be restricted in their use to hats
and toqucs suited to special occasions, such
as weddings, and to evening wear. EN-
broidery of gold cord white velvet or
| cloth is applicable to very smart day mil
linery. Among the prettiest models / have
seen in these lines is a toque consisting of
crown and rolled brim, covered with white
tulle. About the crown is arranged a tor
SADIE of tulle. filling up the space between
the rolled brim, covered by a broad band
of net richly embroidered with gold A
rich gold clasp fastens the end of para
disc tail to the left side Of the brim. An
other toque similar in shape, is draped
with gold-worked Luxuiel lace of a pale
yellow On the left outside, against the
brim, Is placed an "hour-glass' rosette of
deep yellow yelvets clasped by a gold
chased ring slide. "A third. also Of the
same shape has its low crown entirely

stamens. The brim is first covered loosely
with tulle. over which is placed band Of

The American child deservedly maintains
a high reputation for tasteful costuming.
Sometimes our young idea of the feminine

decorations of velvet, to coats of solid cor

From the Press, Utica, n. Y

The following is plain Straightforward state

rheumatism was cured. The words ring true, but
story easily investigate it for it is related by
Mr.. H. L. Burns Of "A Brinkerhof ave, Utica n.
Y, of the best known grocers of that city.
When at his store at the junction of Park
ave- and Mary St, Mr.. Burns said:
six years ago this month began to feel n
slight pain in my hips and legs and the pain
grew worse. it extended to my feet. They swelled
all out of shape and the pain dreadful
Finally my feet began to grow numb and could
barely hob5le about. One day when 1 had come
down to the store got to the steps and could go
no farther. tried for several minutes, but could
not raise my feet Finally passerby helped me
into the store and at once put myself in doc

lief; in fact, the feeling in my feet far
gone that scarcely felt the full force of the bat

'One day Miss Kernans, a member of the fam
lily of the late Senator Kernans of this city, told
me about Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and asked me to try them. 1 said would give
them fair trial, 1 bought ten boxes. In my
opinion the majority Of people are not willing to

FUR TRIMMINGS.

ri Winter Millinery.
From the Millinery Trade Review. "S
Feverish activity reigns in the millinery
world of Paris, and 1.-The past month has
been rich in Innovations Before noting
down the latter 1t is necessary to saw some
thing about furs and their application tn
millinery purposes; but these will be prin-
rank. Chinchila will be very fashionable
this winter for the trimming of costumes
and dresses, and so will marten and skunk
and therefore all three will be used for
millinery purposes; but these will be prin-
cipally chosen when it is desirable to buid
up a hat suite with the toilet with
which it Is worn. When this Is not the
case, preference is given to sable. which
harmonizes with almost any color. Ordi-
narily sable and marten skins are. OF
course. in greater demand than Russian
sable, but where expense is no object the
more rare and costly fur is chosen. and
the first milliners make point of adopting
this only, as 1t is more likely to become
popular, and for this reason fall out of ia
vor with elegantes of the first water. Here
are two models In which Russian sable
plays more or less the chief part In their
composition. The first is an elegant tooue
made by Nine. Rebaux for Russian lady
of my acquaintance. The fur is used to
cover the shape entirely. which is that of a
small hat with a brim and low crown the
former curved upward at the sides and
back so as to give somewhat the effect of
a tricorne. On the left side. against the
upturned brim. is a large cluster of white
chrysanthemum blooms of the Japanese
kind, composing large pouf of disheve.ed
petals. The second model, also a large
toque, has a full crown Of creamy-white
velvet the narrow brim is lined with sable
brown velvet. its upper side concealed by a
Russian sable skin, the head and forepaws
Of which rest behind the left ear. The skin
is twisted twice on the right side so as to
