A Night Attack.

Last night the little daughter of Mrs.
Brown, as she sweetly and peacefully
slept in her little bed near the window
was attacked by adeath-deallng demon
known as Group Whooping Cough,
and but for the timely use of Kennedys
Laxative Honey and Tar, which she
always keeps handy, the life of the
little one might not have been saved.
Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar is
different from all of the old time cough
syrups and is best for children be-
cause it acts on the bowels, is harmless
safe aud certain. Contains no oplates.

The coats for th is small sister are Of many
kinds-pique. linen, swiss, cloth, mohair,
cashmere, faille, peau de sole, tafeta,

A group Of coats slzetched for the central
cut will illustrate some Of the best Of the
seasons ideas, and the Russian box plated
coat, with deeply pointed collar Of open
work, blind and buttonhole embroidery,
represents a type Of coat considered par
ticuIarly smart this year.
Open work embroidery on cloth and
silk as well as upon linen and heavy oottons
enters into the new coats, and there are
deleotable coats Of allover open work en-
broidery, or swiss or fine lawn and trimmed
in valenciennes. Shepherds checks, with
trimmings Of plain bright color and SOU
tache, are made up into cunning coats for
little tots, but are hardly 30 attractive as
re plain woollens.

lingerie hats with Tam crown and full brim
are more popular and moro beautiful than
ever; and as a concession TO the open work
embroidery fad one sees many hats Of linen
or pique with nat Tam crown and nat, plain

The crown Il ornamented with open
work buttonhole embroidery and the
brim has a border Of this embroidery and
scalloped buttonhole edges. Soft silk is
folded around the crown and <notted at

hrims Of these rather severe little hats
are faced With shtrred lawn or overlapping
frills Of narrow valenoiennes. Lingerie
hats in this shape but formed entirely Of
Valenoiennes drills on ruined dginEs are
liked, and there are some pretty shapes In
corded mule and lawn.
The variations Ting upon the poke bon

these than IL has been In many seasons.

there are charming variations upon the
lingerie coats and the rage for br0deriC
Anglase-the popular openwork or eyelet
embroidery-fnds expression in many OF
these lingerie coats. China silk in white
OF pale tint is used to line most of these
lingerie coats, but even that does not make
them desirable for wee babies, and for these
there are the usual coats Of corded or p ain
silk, cloth, cashmere nuns yelling and other
light weight woods.
The little girl who has laid aside her first
short frocks has more variety In dress
although here, too, detail has more to do
with the variety than has general design.
