Japanese Mnrninn Gnuns

The Japanese materials-silks. pom.
gees, printed stuffs and tranSparencies
have given us some wonderful
gowns. Many Of these are built in the
kimona style familiar because of the
many cheap kimonas that are sold in
the shops, but otherwise they bear no
resemblance to the cheap variety. as
they are handsome and very expensive.
One can buy Japanese silk and make
it in kimona shape. Then one can en-
broider it down each side of the front
in great sprays of flowers, carrying
the same trimming around the hem,
wide and variegated.
The more elaborate the embroidery
the more oriental the gown will an

the embroidery must be big. brilliant

The broad revers of this style, too, are
often seen, and the fitted lines that
complete the mode, the hip seam and
big pocket flaps have their due share
of representation.
Then there are the designs that are
characteristic of this class of garment
and of no other. Surplice effects are
cleverly managed, revers of velvet in

haircloth that makes them retain their
shape without crushing or curling (this
is a secret culled from Partisan ate.

quite a feature with these surplice eff
fects, and many are the changes rung
upon it.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 31.-(Sps.

county over the cure of the little
daughter of |. N. Whipkey of Rheu.

FIVE or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried Dodds
Kidney Pills. She began to improve
almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other chill

Il am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being

Machine Stitching Favored.

For the dressier gowns this fall
much machine stitching is used. 1t is
an excellent imitation Of hand-work
and when used in a shade lighter OF
darker than the frock gives it a charm
ing decorative note.
The dainty chemisette or dicky is a
noticeable style tendency of the mo.
ment. Very many of the waists
whether for street or indoor wear, are
cut with V neck and worn with a
lace or embroidered chemisette. This
brings the rever into fashion again,
and there are reVers of all sorts and
sizes. There are smart, mannish re,
Vers Of velvet, and also double and
triple revers graduating in size. as
we'll as draped revers, which often
show a touch Of shirring. When the
reVers and cuffs of a bodice are of
velvet, it is quite the fashion to have
the hat worn with the frock of velvet
matching them in color.

be ordained to the priesthood in this

Combinations in Stocks.

Peculiar combinations are shown in
the new stocks. A high stock of
pique is edged with stole in minia-
ture of point de venise, and under
this is run a shirred ruff1e of net edged
with lace. The stock closes in the
front with stiff little bow, exactly
like the one which the tailored girl
wears with her linen collar. Some
stocks are so deep that they fall below
the shoulder line like a bertha. For
this, net and silk ruffles alternate, or
lace and ribbon pleatings rise one
above the other, the finish being a
bow with long loops and ends.
