There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed that I)r. Kilmer's SwampRoot. the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability now,

to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it. or bat! effects following use of Uqnor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get np many times during the night to urinate. The mild and tbe extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root ta soon realised. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the mo&t distressing case*. If yon need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cento and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mention the Saturday Evening Mail and •end your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Tbe proprietor of this paper guarantees the genuineness of this offer.

Twenty years ago tbe best dinner table talkers in England were thought to be Lord Chief Justice Cockbarn, Queen's Counselor Jadab P. Benjamin, Mr. Gladstone, Cardinal Manning, Lord Bosebery and Dean Stanley. Twenty years before tbat Macanlay and Carlyle beaded tbe list. In Dickens' time be ranked as tbe best after dinner speaker, and Sala enjoyed tbat distinction for a few years before bis death. Tbere is now rather a dearth of talkers and speakers of tbe first luster in tbat coantory.

NEW YOBK,

Sept.

13.—If

what does she deserve who makes two distinct and different gowns ont of the same material, each as pretty to look at as the other? Verily I think she deserves more than tbe man does anyway, for the horses eat tbe grass, and then where is it? Bnt the gowns last a whole season through and delight many eyes. These very sage reflections came through my looking at two jaunty cycling costumes. They were made of the same material, waterproofed serge, or cravanette, as it is called. One had a short skirt, divided in the back and with "knickers" underneath. A norfolk jacket was tightly drawn in by a plaid belt, while a tie of the same plaid was worn under the turndown collar. A Tam O'Shanter cap of thrf same staff there was. "Tarns" and bakers' caps are great favorites with the pretty bicyclists. Tbe color was a dark smoky gray. The other gown was of cadet blue and had a skirt at least six inches lon^ ger, and, by tbe way, they say that all cycling skirts will be longer than they were. It is a natural reaction. This bine skirt was bnttoned down both sides of the front. There was an "awfully cute" cutaway jacket in Napoleonic form, with lapels buttoned back in regulation style. There was a white silk blouse, with a wide plait of dark navy satin. The lapels were two shades lighter than the dress, and tbe little facings on the tail of the coat were of the same. There was a crushed "Tam," with a saucy little brown feather.

There aro so many new devices in blouse waists coming out everyday that it is useless to try to mention them all, but there is one novelty in that line that commands especial attention. This is a blouse made of broadcloth and designed to take tbe place of a walking jacket. It has the blouse droop in the back as well as front and closes in a highly novel style, with one lapel and two great buttons. There are battlement tabs around the waist, and they and all the rest are tailor finished.

The wraps continue to develop. There are capes and mantles, basqnes and Louis XV coats and empire jackets of every imaginable variety. The newest is tbe blanket shawl cape and mantle. These are of the thick, rich, rough plaids, where part or all is woven in bourette tufts. Wide, old fashioned looking collars, bordered with thick woolen fringe, finish these.

Speaking of fringe reminds me that I have seen several dresses and wraps trimmed with what nsed to be called "moss fringe." One black peau de soie gown bad three rows of this fringe put on tu shawl points. Several other gowns have tablier fronts of different color or

KKW WRAPS.

material. One very dark bine taffeta had tbe whole front breadth in a tablier of very pale blue. In the corners of this was sewed light and graoefnl ohantilly appliqne in black.

Tbere is a sort of moire poplin which has been persistently pnt forward recently. The thread is coarse. The colors are all new and some of them beautiful, and with the moire weave it looks very well on the counters, bnt in a very short time it coarsens and finally looks more like an old moreen petticoat than anything. It is very poor economy to purchase this stuff and foolish, too, when thefe are so many valuable stuffs to choose from.

Who shall dare mention bats and bonnets? They are too much for me just but I will tell of some of tbr

trimmings I saw today. There wen velvet violets, tbe most beautiful thing? imaginable, and there were plume.* made up ready to go on the new littlr "dip" hats of the season. These an usually in white, pearl, pale gray and pale blue felt There is a great rosette of ribbon or re 1 vet to match in color. Then from this start two plumes, one white and one black, made of fine cock's plumes sewed to a drooping foundation. They hang over and down much like the

military hats of the Italians. Feathers are in for it this season, asd not

only ostriches, but turkeys, ducks, geewe and roosters moat yield

IN FASHION'S DOMAIN

FAU. AND WINTER HATS, WRAPS AND MADE UP GOWNS.

Some Startling Combinations of Color. Tbe Bayadere and Roman Stripes. Capes and Skirts—Floonoes Are More

Than Ever Popular—New Dress Goods.

[Copyright. 1897, by the Author.] Hats, wraps and made np gowns as well as the new materials for the development of gowns and garments for fall and winter are now literally poured ont before ns so rapidly that it almost takes one's breath away.: I find among the very latest arrivals numbers of gray staffs, silks, thin goods and woolens of all grades of thickness. These gray stnffs form an admirable background for tbe bayadere stripes so suddenly offered ns. Tbere are woolen goods of all varieties, with stripes of almost every conceivable width and color, to say nothing of their weave and design. Some of them are in onrled, raised mohair effects, others flat and satiny some of velvet, and others of the same material and color as the dress itoelf. only that where that is of armure, cashmere, cheviot, serge or other snch stuff, the stripe is woven crosswise and has besides other designs in swivel weave npon it The effect of this is refined and charming to the artistic eye, particularly so in contrast with the brilliant dyes seen on so many other gar* ments. On some of them we find red and pink, the pink for tbe gown itself and the cherry red in form of aooessoriea The gray comes mostly in the very lightest shades, except where the new feather boas are concerned. These are in light pearls, and then in dark stone gray. There are no intermediate shades.

The gray silks, satin and soft woolen stnffs are trimmed with white or black ohantilly edging and insertion. Chantilly is the most fashionable of the laces, and the white is almost as light and filmy as the old style blond. All the light silks and all the thin dresses

intended for evening are trimmed more or less with white chantilly flouncing. Some of the combinations of oolors are almost startling. Others, thongb brilliant in contrast, are yet well ohosen. Black and saffron color are put together with good effeot, particularly where the blaok is of lace or other transparent stuff. Pearl gray and violet, gray and orimson, gray and rich aprioot yellow, are all among tbe new color schemes, and tbere are many more. Among tbe new colors are apricot, straw, terra cotta, seasbell pink, spinach green, fire red, emerald, sapphire, oorn, saffron, sky blue, parma violet, mauve, lilao and no end to the browns from the lightest tan to seal Another rich color is called "salmon roe." This when in cashmere is very beautifnl Where the material of the gown has no stripes woven in for trimming, velvet ribbon in graduated widths is employed. So is satin ribbon, and it is plaoed in dusters from top to bottom.

Certainly not every gown shows tbe bayadere stripes, but many da Some of the handsomest peau de soie has borders along in Persian or cameo design, and these borders are to be cut off and sewed around as bayadere stripes.

Roman stripes in all their rich colon are produced in tbe taffetas and light •ilka for home wear. Tuscany stripes are also shown. They are rich and brilliant without being vulgar. This is owing partly to the introduction of fine white lines between the green, bine, red and yellow stripes in the designs.

The plaid silks are unusually refined and elegant, owing also to the admixture of white, which tones them down. Another thing very noticeable is that nearly all tbe clan plaids are produced in miniature. These plaid silks, it is expected, will be used for the blouses now so very popular. There are besides tbe

half capes fastened on the shoulders. The oollar is high, and the trimming consists of rich black passementerie and sometimes feather trimming. Feathers, by the way, are having qnite a furore just now. Not only are bats covered with plumes, but many of them are three-quarters of a yard long. Some hats have full boas for sole trimming laid aronnd the crown. Gray, natural and black ostrich boas are to be worn by every one who can afford them. The ends are tucked into tbe belt There are also small shonlder capes complete ly covered with uncurled ostrich flues. I noticed two of them with tbe oollars of cnrled flues.

The new woolen goods show several new effects never before attempted— that is, that covert cloths and cravanettes are produced in every fashionable color and in all grades of weight. They are also reversible, having one side of tbe regular goods and the other in som& rich tartan plaid. These make fine golfing and bicycling snits and are also very good for street wear.

The blouse waist is one of the most popular garments of the season and is and will be made with a degree of care and ornamentation never before given to what has been up to now considered but a loose and easy separate waist Those now shown are marked by all tbe characteristics of fine gowns, but as each differs from its neighbor it is impossible to describe them in detail. The point of resemblauce always is the full and drooping front A few of them are made to droop all around. Lace, braid and narrow velvet ribbon are all lavishly used to trim them with.

Nearly all the skirts, even the tailor made, show some sort of trimming, the style being optional. A new fancy is to have lace insertion, black over light colors and white, ivory, butter or champagne color over the dark. Cbantilly, as I said, is first favorite. Next come the lierres in new designs. For handsome blaok silk or wool gowns tbere are wide bands of chantilly insertion to matoh the flouncing. Flounces are more than ever popular, and so are sun plaited skirts, particularly for tbe danoing dresses now being shown. There is

a line of white and black, ivory and oream silk muslins embroidered with colored flosses in various designs. These will be worn for ball gowns. Fine net, crepe lisse and tnlle are all sewed with wax pearl beads in lovely opalescent colors. These hang loosely in little clusters, and there is fringe of beads 18 inches long and 4 inches deep to go with these dresses. This is intended to cross the bust at tbe top or diagonally.

must not omit mention of the new blaok goods, which are of exceptional excellence and beauty this fall, particularly the cheviots. These are in all tbe standard weaves, wide and narrow wale, diagonal, eto., but with a firmer feel and a rioher luster. The curled camel's hair has a regular weave, with white hairs all over it almost as close as zibeline in some cases and with •oft little mohair curls close to the

used for cloa kings. Capes reaching near ly to tbe kneee are made of it, with high oollars and rich brocade lining. Short pelerine capes of gray astrakhan are made with long tabs and fluted oollars. The collars and deep border to the capes are of gray monfioo. These, too, are lined with brocade Tbere art jackets, too, and cloaks, but those I will leave until later. Hmom BOCSSKAC.
