(the BLOUSE WAISTS
tnMMKWmaHMW
New York, Nov. 12. -The greatest |
trouble with any now style that meets
popular taste is that it is at once over
done and everybody wears it in and out
of scasou. So it is with the blouse waist.
From mourning and even tailor made
costumes of the most uncompromising
kind to the lightest and flimsiest of
dancing dresses we find the blouse waist,
and already I see signs of a reaction in
favor of tight waists. Blouses are made
of strange materials when we think of
the loose and baggy effect they have. I
saw in one house a regular Russian
blouse belt and all made of Hudson bay
sable. This had the high storm collar,
the pouched front, the little skirt piece
set on with a decided spring and a thick
leather belt It didn’t look half bad,
though the fur is so thick. Still, there

NEW WAISTS.
is no material, however rich, that can
give a blouse a really elegant appearance.
Stylish and striking it may be, but not
pleasing, to the most refined taste. There
was a whole suit, skirt and blouse, made
of fine black Persian lamb. The skirt
was open in front over a panel of plaited
black satin duchesse, but the blouse was
closed. The skirt to the basque was piped
and faced with black satin. Along the
edge of the storm collar was sewed a
row of finely cut jet beads as large as
peas. The belt worn with the basque
was made of black velvet, with rows of
the same kind of beads at the edges.
The entire costume, hat and all, was
black without a hint of color. It was a
costly and sumptuous affair.
Even the oldest ladies wear the
blouse waist, but one may say that the
blouse of the present day fits closely over
the shoulders and around the bust line,
all the bagginess being massed toward
the front, low down, with the exception
of those blouses gathered all the way
around to stand out over the belt. Even
these are but a very trifle looser any-,
where than a snug waist would be, but
these few gathers are put where they
show very plainly.
There are now many tight waists
seen. Some are cut off short and round
and finished with a piping cord or per
haps a belt made of bias velvet. These
are for the very slender ladies. For
those more bountifully endowed the
pointed fronts and backs are most often
seen or pointed fronts and queer little
postilion backs. One of the prettiest of
the new ideas is the tab in front. This
is becoming to all figures and can be
varied to suit.
Fur will be so very much worn this
winter that one may be surprised at
finding any garment with none on.
Even coarse goatskin is used. Fur hats
i are among the novelties, and some of
them are novel enough in all conscience.
Seal and undyed beaver, mink, skunk,
otter, chinchilla and sable are all seen
on hats, but only those of short pile,
like seal and beaver, are suitable for
making the entire hat. The large pic
ture hats of velvet, with innumerable
featherbone shirrings, are also orna
mented with fur wherever it can be
added. Many felt hats have narrow
bindings of fur around the edges.
For millinery there are the queerest
looking arrangements of stiff feathers
imaginable, and it seems as if the only
idea was to see how stiff and grotesque
'!w i
STYLES FOR THE NEW YORK MORSE SHOW,
an affair it can be made to look. Owl,
hawk, turkey and parrot quills are used ;
so are the long, glossy plumes from the
barnyard fowls. Whole pheasants are
mounted like real birds, and they are
seated upon the top of the hat as if
■ hatching ideas. The preference in these
feathers is for the natural drabs and
light browns, with dashes of black or
white—in short, the feathers which be
long naturally to the large birds. Os
trich plumes are worn and to be worn
as much as ever.

- most beautiful black velvet jackets.
These range from the eton to three

rich satin, generally black, and either

beads. All have the collars bordered
with Alaska sable fur. They are for old

their purpose. Olive Hm<pkr.
BUGGS AND ME.
Stirring Incidents of a Stirring Friend
and Partnership.
Winter has crept up surprisingly
npm many of us, but not so with Buggs
and me. Dur ng the fruitful seasons,
we have laid away and stored the every
day oomforts, until now we open our
Shutters and as we see the leaves wilt
under the rasping touch of Jack Fiost,
we smuggle our bead deep down in our
shoulders, and sigh that all people do
not have the foresight of Buggs and me.
Through many changing seasons, in
fact since I was very young, Buggs and
I have been great cronies, so it was very
natural that we should be business part
ners when I grew older, for Buggs was
old. Accordingly we opened this
summer our little store just beyond
East Rome, and I carefully traced,
Buggs and Co. on the window lights
where all passers by would be attracted
to our emporium, for I was sure that
my pokeberry sign would be alluring.
During the last few months marvelous
changes have taken place, all for the
better, and we now average more than
two sales a day, and after being in busi
ness four months, I can now sit on a
cracker box, cross my legs, and with a
“two for” cheroot, sending its noxious
fumes in every direction, discuss the
action of the newspapers in starting out
on the Guldensuppe trial in New York,
just like they were going to repeat their
Luetgert folly. Guldensuppe was a rub
ber in a bate house, and his murdeied
Martin Thorn was a barber, so you see
the cause of the indignation aroused
around the store of Buggs and Co.
Buggs says they can kill a dozen rubber
men, and he doesn’t care for we can
get plenty more from India and he gen
erally knows. We had quite a discussion
a few days ago, about collecting thirty
cents a piece for some shriveled fire
damaged derbys that we had sold. I am
some sort of a Bible man, so I argued
that the good book says for us to forgive
our debtors. When I said this, Buggs
looked at me, seriously as if to question
my sanity, then broke out in a hearty
laugh. In hie own matter-of-fact way
of reasoning, he replied that I could go
upon my knees in the closet, and for
give them all, but his side of the house
was going to doits best to collect that
thirty cents. And he did. He said that
I pretended to be such a biblical student,
could I explain to him why God would
create men in his own image, and pre
destine some of them to eternal punish
ment? 1 knew he had me. so I told him
that the devil was the author of such
questionable ideas, and to banish them.
He was quiet for some minutes then we
branched off on the love affairs of the
younger brother of Buggs, whose ama
tive nature is blighted by a fickle dispo
sition. So long as the tender chords
binding his heart to his “bright particu
lar,’’were nurtured by an every day
association, bis devotion and submis
sion to her wishes was deep and sincere,
but as soon as they were separated, the
creep ng tendrils that gradually had en
cased his heart would loosen until that
old theory was proven, ‘ ’out of sight,
out of mind.” Unlike man’s love, the
one upon whom his love had been lav
ished, retained faithfully her dependant
trust in him, thereby causing his indif
ference to cut deeper the furrows on the
fair brow, and to bend lower the justly
proud head. After weighing his merits
and demerits, we decided that we could
not censure him for being unable to
Waft his spirit in sweet imaginations
constantly to her side. Such a nature is
a misfortune not a fault, a feeling in
born, and increate, not acquired, nor
cultivated, With such spice to occasion
ally vary the monotony of our daily
life, we whiled the hours away while
the street oars were stagnated last week.
But crowning the weeks events, and
without the mention of which, this re
sume would be incomplete, was our
taking a preacher. Last Tuesday night,
Buggs and I were awakened by a terri
ble commotion in our back yard. A cat
aclysm of omniDuses, or a Scalchi con
cert, lulls us to sleep but this racket
startled us so that the chattering of our
teeth sounded like hail on a tin roof.
Buggs and I filled hands and pockets
with weapons for offensive, and defen
sive warfare, the first things our hands
tell upon, and by the ruddy light of a
candle, that the wind blew out before
we reached the back partition, we sal
lied forth with chivalric tread and an
tagonistio mien. Coming from the re
gion of our poultry yard, the most ago
nizing cries of distress pierced the mid
night dullness, and upon closer inspeo
tion we saw that the death watch was
at the door, and that our chicken feath
ers were counted, The preachers advent
had cast its shadow before, and alarmed
our fowls. The armament which we
hastily gathered consisted of cakes of
THB BOMB TRIBUNE. SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 14. 18»7.
SHINING SHOWER
SpF- STARS TONIGHT.
The astronomers look for the next
great meteoric shower on the morning
of November 15, 1899. They calculate
that the earth will then pass again
through the center of an immense swarm
of meteoroids, as they are before
combustion. There great “Lenoide
Star Showers,” as they are called, oc
cur at intervals of every 33 years and
one day. The great shower of 1799 oc
curred on November 12; that 1833 on
November 14, and, consequently, a re
petition of the next wonderful pheno
mena is expected on the morning of No
vember 15,1899.
In the meanwhile, however, as the
aggregation of meteoroids is of immense
length, one end of it will encounter the
earth in 1898 and the other in 1900,
making, as Professor Lewis wist, the
distinguished astronomer of Rochester,
N. Y„ says, considerable showers in
those years also. Not only this, but it
is stated on the same authority that
many forerunners of the great shower
may be expected to come within the
earth’s atmosphere on November 14,
1897, because many of the meteoroids
are always considerably in advance of
the main cluster. Professor Swift says
“the thickness of the meteoroidal
stream is 100,000 miles, and the dura
ion of the shower is equal to the time
of the diagonal passage of the earth
soap in our pockets, tin pithers, towel
racks, candelabra’s and various bric-a
brac, with which the room of two old
bachelors is ornamented in our hands.
But our preacher was a lovely young
fellow, clean shaved, slick hair, and
having a sweet, pleasant address. We
had family prayers, and he questioned
us like we were catechumen, and
succeeded in making Buggs feel
like a regular loggerhead, but I
stood the catechising scathless. An air
of his sanctity has made us breathe easier,
and few households can boast of as fer
vent and prayerful a pair of sinners as
Buggs and me. I heard a low monotonic
mumble on our back porch last night
stfortly after supper, and I listened.
Buggs had been silent in reveries all after,
noon, and I tried to rouse him, but he
seemed to be either brooding, or as Shel
ley would say, “Music, when soft voices
die, vibrates in the memory.” The gentle
pong-ponger, pong pongei of a church
bell nearby called the worshippers to a
communion preparation service, and, as
its notes of immaculate sweetness melted
on the twilight evening, I stood enraptur
ed as I heard Buggs slowly, somewhat
sadly, repeating Thomas Moore’s lovely
poem—
Those evening bells! those evening bells!
How many a tale their music tells
Os youth, and home, and that sweet time.
When last I heard their soothing chime!
Those joyous hours are passed away,
And many a heart that then was gay,
Within she tomb now darkly dwells.
And beats no more those evening bells.
*>
And so ’twill be when I am gone—
that tuneful peal will still ring on;
While other bards shall walk these dells,
And sing your praise, sweet evening be Is,
His sweet low voice lulled me into un
conscious bliss, and I thanked him f< r
the transition. More next week.

shower of Leonides everv November,
we know that there is a vast ring formed
by the cmiet’s tail, and that the im
mense s''oal in one portion is the pro
duct of the exploded comet itself, and
through which we pass once ev, ry 33

The meteoroids are dark bodies, and
it is only when they pass into the earth's
atmosphere that they are ignited by
friction and btcome visible for a few
seconds. The stream makes a

by consequence the earth passes thro’ i

miles a second, yet it takes it two year
topass the earth, so that when it.-
hinder part is still with us its advane
ing side will have reached the orbits cf
Jupiter and B‘turn. Notwithstanding
this extent, it is but a fraction of the en
tire orbit-. Prof. Swift says: ‘‘This
great cluster will reach the earth’s or

will not have arrived there then, bu.
i will be due nearly six months later

The English and the French.
It has been the writer’s fate to live
a good deal on both sides of the English
channel, and nothing is more amusing
than to hear the absurdities that are
gravely asserted by each of their neigh
bors. To an Englishman a Frenchman
will always be “a tiger or monkey” of
Carlyle, while to the French mind Eng
lish gravity is only hypocrisy to cover
every vice. Nothing pleases him so
much as a great scandal in England,
and he will gleefully bring you the pa
| per containing the account to prove how
i true is his opinion, it is quite useless
' to explain (as the writer has often tried)
to the British mind that Frenchmen do
not all pass their lives drinking absinth
‘on the boulevards, and as Englishmen
i (asMaxO’Rell says) seem to leave their
[ morals in a valise at Dover when off
i for a short visit to Paris, to be picked
up on their return, it would be time
lost trying to make a Gaul understand
what good husbands and fathers they
are.
These two great nations always seem
to stand in the relation to each other
that Rome and Greece held. Our Eng
lish cousins are the great conquerors of
the world, the great colonizers, with a
vast capital in which wealth and mis
ery jostle each other in the streets; a
hideous conglomeration of .buildingsand
monuments, without form and void,
very much as old Rome must have been
under the Caesars, enormous buildings
without taste, and enormous wealth,
while the French s6em to have inherit
ed the temperament of the Greeks. The
drama, painting and sculpture are the
preoccupation of the people The yearly
exhibitions are almost the unique sub
ject of conversation in drawing room or
club The state protects the artist and

Greco-Turkish Strategy and Football.
The strategic position of the Greek
and Turkish armies in the late cam
paign was out little more complicated
than rhe strategic position of two foot
ball teams when they are lined up for a
scrimmage When the game began, the
Greeks had possession of the ball, and
they rushed it into Turkish territory,
where they lost it almost immediately
on a fumble, and after that the Turks
drove them rapidly down tbe field, go
ing around their ends and breaking
through their center very much as they
pleased.
Tbe Greeks were outnumbered three
to one, but there are many people who
think that they would have run away
even had the number of men on both
sides been equal There is, however, no
way of proving that they would have
done this, while it can be proved that
they were outnumbered and were near
ly always for that reason attacked as
strongly an the flank as in the front.
This fact should be placed to their cred
it side in summing up their strange
conduct If an eleven from Princeton
played three elevens from Yale at the
same time, one can see that the game
would hardly be interesting, and to car
ry out the simile still further and then
to drop it, it was as though this Prince
ton eleven was untrained and had nt
knowledge of tricks or of team play,
and absolutely no regard for its captain
as a captain.—Richard Harding Davis

Rheumatism,
Oh the Pain!
-The aches and pains of Rheumatism
become a constant companion to all who
arc victims of this disabling disease.
Much suffering could be avoided if the
first warning pains of Rheumatism were
heeded and the proper treatment at once
taken. But the people generally are
not acquainted with the cause of the
disease, though thousands know its tor
tures. Those who use liniments and
ointments cannot understand why they
grow worse each winter, and find them
selves gradually becoming unable to get
around as they once could; yet they
know that their trouble came on at first
as little aches and pains, which hardly
attracted their attention.!
Everybody should know more about
rheumatism; they should know* that it
is a peculiar condition of the blood upon
which all the liniments in the world
can have no effect whatever. The
best blood remedy is needed—one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease, and force it out. Swift’s Specific
(S.S.S.) is the right remedy for Rheu
matism, because it is the only blood
remedy free from mercury, potash and
other minerals which intensify the dis,
ease, causing stiffness of the joints and
•citing of the bones.
Swift’s Specific being a real blood rem
edy never fails to cui e Rheumatism. It
reaches even the worst cases where the
doctors have made cripples with their
prescriptions of potash and mercury.
Mr. D. R. Johnson, an extensive lum
ber dealer of Blackshear, Ga., writes:
• My wife was for years a sufferer from
Rheumatism, and was treated constant
ly, but could obtain no relief. The pain
was first felt in her left shoulder, and
extended in all directions, increasing
in severity. The doctors said the dis
ease was liable to strike the heart at any
time, in which event death would be
inevitable.
“Every kind of treatment recommend
ed for Rheumatism was given her,
including many blood remedies, but
none dialler any good. She was grow
ing worse all the while, and was reduced
to a mere shadow of her foimer self.
“It was at this critical period that
Swift’s Specific was given her; the med
icine seemed to reach the disease
promptly, and she at once began to im
prove. One dozen bottles effected a
complete cure, and she has had no touch
of the disease since.”
Every one afflicted with Rheumatism
should take a remedy which can reach
their trouble. S.S.S. will cure the most
aggravated case of Rheumatism,Catarrh,
Cancer, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof
ula, Eczema, or any other blood disease.
