''LIFE A BURDEN. l"

pr. Radway-Dear Sir: For long time past I have been suffering in the most dis dressing manner from long train of symp- toms which have baff1ed the skill of all the medical men down here and which feared, If not arrested in their progress, would ter minate in the total prostraton of my strength. Loss of appetite and desire of stimulating and artificial means of susten. ance at irregular times, want of healthy sleep and consequent depression on arising in the morning rendered life quite a burden to me. until friend induced me to try your medicine. So I got bottle of Radways's Sarsaparillian and a box of Railways Pills and took them according to directions I soon found relief. I got three boxes and three bottles more and am better in health than ever hetore. l remain your humble servant,

PARTISAN IDEAS IN DRESS.
HANDSOME MODES AT JAMES MCREERY &
co. s TWENTY-THIRD-sT STORE.

James McCreery & Co, Twenty -third-st.. have
exhibited very handsome gowns at the au-
tumn opening of their dressmakng department.
New materials and many varied designs of drapery
show the very latest Partisan ideas.
The gowns seem to be stamped with unusual
significance as they tend to show the signs Of the
times" There seems 10 be odd struggle between
two very pronounced styles of dress-the Louis XVI
and the Empire. Some dresses have the long
pointed bodices Of the former fashion, and many
show the long lines and soft draperies of the En-
pire A singular model combines both, and as II
was built by deft French hands 1t is arranged with
most artistic effect. The foundation Of the dress
is heavy gold embroidered lace. with long pointed
corsage and a train Of pale blue velvet draped
from the middle of the back. Almost all sashes
and trains of these newest fashions hang from at
least six inches above the waist line, matter how
low that line curves in front
Another distinguished looking Empire gown is
made of panne velvet and Cluny lace.
Gold is the trimming most in evidence OF all the
new garntures. It is lavishy displayed in en-
broideries. appnques braids, tassels fastenings,
cords and belts until the evening and reception
gowns present an array that suggest salon at
some imperial court ther than mere usual gown
of the season.
Two models diplomaticaIly posed together serve
to show the impartiaIity Of the department-one is
a handsome dress of black spangled net over White
satin heavily inCruSted with gold. The second Is
most fascinating design of white black and silver.
They termed free gold and "tree silver re-
