The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure IS
the only positive cure now known to the
madical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have 50 much
faith IN Its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that It fails to cure. Send for list OF

Is God Angry?

Perhaps there is no form of child
labor in which worse conditions
prevail than in the manufacture
of artificial flowers. Millions of
American women wear artificial
flowers in their hats and bonnets
with never a thought of the terrible
conditions under which they are
made. They do not think of the
wasted lives represented by these
limitations of natures handiwork.
They do not know that weak wo-
men with strained, tired eyes make
these flowers under conditions
which ought to redden with shame
every American cheek. Their i'm
aginations have not been awaken
ed to the tragedy of artificial
flowers; they do not see the bloom
stolen from children's cheeks 70
paint roses; they do not read on
the petals of the violets how the
light has been stolen from child
ISL eyes.
Frank Hird tells the story of a
little ten-year-old girl who was
taken into the county for an outing
by one of the Fresh Air missions.
When she got to the little cottage
in the country, the growing flowers
excited her curiosity and admira-
ton. She had never seen living
flowers, but she looked at these
with a critical eye, for her mother
was an expert maker of artificial
flowers, and for years she had
helped her mother.
When the mission lady" ex-
planned to her how the flowers
grew, and pointed out the differ
ence between natures han1iwork
and mans poor imitation, the little
girl looked up and asked: Do
yer think as Gawd's riled wifi us
fer maxim them there roses so
bad?" Something of the same
feeling must have moved little
Rosa Gozzola, to whom I gave
carnation one day last summer as
she worked away in her basement
home on Mott Street, to ask,
Would the kind gentleman show
me how to make the flowers so
nice?'
Imagine child Shaving at the
making of artificial flowers without
ever having seen a flower growingl

are once more struggling for supremacy
is certain. They have never been laid
aside In Paris, but the trailing length is
insisted upon more earnestly than ever
this season, and dressmakers urge the
choice OF a long skirt for everything save
the severest morning street suit.
New York women are rebelling, and we
shall doubtless see handsome velvet and
cloth visiting frocks with walking length
skirts, but the dressmaker will curtaiI
them under protest, and common sense
and fashion are definitely at odds in the
matter Of the street skirt. As for the cere-
monious toilet, there we have the skirt
very long all around and with a decided
train in the back.
The train often falls from q shortened
waistline and even in some models takes
on a Vatican line, starting from a point
between the shoulder blades-La Ferriere
has a very distinguished model in black net
trimmed in jet and crystal. which Is made
with one OF these high trains, though the
rest Of the gown IL on princess lines.
Several Of the great makers have sent
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-10-28

over models with trains OF one material
while the front and sides OF the skirt are on
q sheerer stuff. This movement has NOT
gone far and is usually developed IN mono
tone coloring, with chiffon or net and veiVet.
but il may be an opening wedge which Will
lead to artistic use for he wonderful bro
oades which are so numerous and no hard
to utilize successfully.
The tunic and overskirt IDEAS have not
vet succeeded In forcing themselves 70
prominent places on fashions list, though
some graceful exploiting OF them goes on
One OF the smartest tunic skirts we nave
seen was in cloth and velvet OF bronze
green. The underskirt was Of velvet, I'M
trimmed, n over this fell a pointed tunio
of softest chiffon cloth whose edge was
bordered by a cut work design outlined IN
chenille.
Such skirt treatment as hat Of the Worth
evening gov sketched here is occasionally
seen, the overskirt cut far up at the left
front over soft ounce Of lace.
Combination trimmings OF embroidery ana
velvet or embroidery and silk are cry
much liked, and though on the French
models the embroidery is done by hand
excellent applique trimmings OF this char
acter are many. A vine and leaf design,
with one half Of each leaf Of solid embroid-
cry and the other half OF velvet or silk Isl
favorite on sheer stuns, and there are
countless trimmings Of the same class
almost entirely hand wrought and pro
p~ortionately effective and expensive, though
the expense entailed by using such trimming
docs not compare with the expense OF having
the embroidery done to order upon tn .
material.
The heavy band and motif embroideries
upon coarse net are perhaps the hand
soonest OF the ready made hand wrought
trimmings, but there are also wonderful
combinations OF lace and embroidery n
open work stitching which must be seen to
be appreciated, and the chenille and wool
embroideries also deserve high praise.
The use Of frock material for f~ashionins
buttons, froRginRs and other trimmings ID
sanctioned by the highest authorities, and
some stunning ornaments, made by cover
ing very large cords with silk, are used Tor
trimming coats of cloth, velvet or FUR.
Buttonlike ornaments made OF suon neavy,
silk cord with brilliant jewelled or metal
centres are very effective p % velvet or fur
and are used even upon chiffon and net,
when silk is combined with these sheer
materials.
The heavy silk covered cords applied in
| conventional designs are not new but are
still used, and such trimming was the dis
tinctive feature OF a very charming PAnem
model in silver green crepe which figures
among our pictures. Cording bordered
both edges Of a wide band Of dyed Chantflly

trimmed the bodice, running out over the
shoulders and down each side OF a

authorities. Is not too expensive and alto
gether has distinct merit.
The marquisette gown in question had
on the usual full skirt, which fell from a
semi Empire waistline, a deep flOunoe Of
point applique and on the bottom Of this
sounce was q band Of white radium inset
at intervals with oblOng medallions Of Irish
and gold lace. Soutache embroidery de-
sigma framed the ends Of these medallions
and q soutached band OF radium headed the
nounce.
The bodice OF marquisette and lace was
trimmed in silk embroidered in soutache
and in lace; and posed on the left side Of
the corsage front was a tiny cluster OF
with a knot Of gold gauze, the whole held
6y q handsome jewelled ornament.
This model. modified by omission Of the
ornate skirt medallions and trimmed sim

make a smart and not too expensive dinner
frock. AZ would its companion frock In
white chiffon cloth with surplice drapcry
and long sash ends Of soft white silk en-

be obtained with one Of the delicate applied
embroiderieS and a drapery much like this

cuffs Of gray cloth to show that despite their
indie pendence they belonged to the cloth
gown.
The combination Of plaid and plain ma
terials is another fashion note which should
interest those who have frocks TO make
over, and the sleeves Of the season, though
often intricate of detail, are on the whole
smaller than those Of last year, so that even
IL no new material is introduced into them
they can usually be successfully developed
out Of old sleeves.
II the old silk frock can serve no better
purpose it may at least make a foundation
for a frock of semi-transparent material.
We have seen one delightful gray frock
OF new wolfe made up over a foundation
furnished by an old gray silk frock and
trimmed in bands OF gray silk. also provided
by the old frock. The girdle was Of he
voile with bands OF silk at top and bottom
and the only new trimming was the net and
lace OF which the shallow guimpe and under
sleeves were made.
This dainty guimpe, by the way. had at
the collar top a narrow edge Of dull silver
lace through which was run a strand OF
coral chenille, and a cluster OF tiny silver
balls dangled from coral chenille strands
at the base Of the throat in 'front.'.
Such little touches upon guimpe, cut,
girdle, &c, often give a distinctive and
smart air to a very simple frock, and the
French understand in perfection the small
detail. Small dangling ornaments of six,
chenille or metal are being used again,
and often with happy effect. Beer has
combined long chenille drops or pendants
with chenille lace in the Natter blue velvet
rrock which il pictured in the central
group. and the ~fringelike effect is very
successful.

She can turn out a delightful frook for q

making goes on under a propitious star this
season.
Given any one Of the soft sheer stufrs so
popular for house and ceremonious wear,
a smart skirt should not be a very difficult
problem. OF course the elaborate models
often show intricate skirt details, but on the
other hand many Of the very best French
frocks have soft skirts falling in very full
folds from the waistline n held down by
heavy trimming on the bottom-a wide
band OF bands Of velvet, silk or cloth, braid
ing, lace or embroidery.
Upon the heavy nets so much used rather
wide bands OF velvet ribbon matching the
net form an excellent finish, and a cut out

times used with good effect. Soutache

When a deep border or hem Of contrasting
material finishes the bottom Of a sheer skirt

whether straight or irregular, is usually
matched by inset or applied lace, braid,
