SOME MODERATE STYLES
For tVhleh Ilenrlette Rohiimh Is Duly
Thsultful—Some Other Gowns of
Bewildering Splendor— Some
Wrap* and Cloaks.
I almost feel like saying, “For •■what
we are about to receive (in the way of
fall styles) let ns bo duly thankfnl,” for
now that the season has really opened
and we eee what we are to wear we find
the fashion so mnch more moderate than
we had feared that there is reason for
thankfnlness. The imported gowns, the
most of them direct from Worth, aro
held up to us as the models from which
all others should be copied. And these
gowns, though in many instances odd
and quaint, are still very pretty and
above all stylish.
One gown more curious than beautiful
to my taste was of corded wool in a snuff
brown, with rush green underweave,
which showed in the folds as a change*
able effect, and had a plain empire skirt.
At the waist line there was a deep, eircu-
great objection to poplin. It is harsh,
and the cleverest dressmaker cannot
make it hang gracefully, and it is not
durable, and it also wrinkles with the
damp and shrinks frightfully if wet.
Every season a feeler is thrown out to
see if women will buy, but we see so lit
tle of it now that we wonder what be
comes of it. Last season there were
some violent plaids. This year the
tones are delicate and all the colore well
choeen, and the designs are good, but
poplin is simply impossible. Thia year
it is called crystal poplin. Lost year it
was French. There are, however, a few
plaid reps poplins, with a generous ad
mixture of silk to bring oat the pattern,
and these are really handsome, and they
look as if they might be free from the
objection to plain poplin. These re
semble the toile da Nord of last winter
somewhat.
In silks we have satins of ail styles,
from the rich brocade to the satin duch
ess and plain faced satin. The satin
dnebess will be the prime favorite.
Some of the designs aro very rich. I
noticed one of changeable green and
wood brown, with two narrow black
stripes set close together andrepeated ev
ery two inches. Sometimes there is a
group of three narrow stripes close to
gether, which, being set two or three
inches from the next group, form the pat
tern. Therearenumbersof designs where
the stripes are alternately black and
white, each stripe as wide as the other.
Theee black and white striped satins will
he very much worn for elegant dinner and
evening gowns, lavishly trimmed with
jet and lsce, principally black.
The taffetas in chameleon colors are as
popular as ever, perhaps more so. One
design called the opal reproduces the
gorgeous beauty of that jewel in re
pose and breaks into wonderful lights
and gleams of hidden fire and color as it
is moved. The Dean do soie in stripes,
tiny watteau designs, is very ricli and

know you had done this. Life is too

ened caps of the dress goods, each bound
with the velvet and starting from under
another roll of velvet. This droes was
mnch admired for its daring novelty, and
no doubt will be reproduced in several
ways.
Another very handeomo imported
model gown was of changeable twill, nil
of wool and in two tones of heliotrope,
with jnst a suspicion of gold and green
showing as a delicate bloom aa it changed
lights by movement. The skirt was s'
plain empire without gores, moderately
full at the bottom. The skirt had a nar
row flounco all around under a heading
of Persian embroidery, except on the
right side, where it was cut higher to
form n simulated loop. The corsage was
a work of art. The back was cut straight
across, without seam, and piped at the
bottom. There was a white crape vest
in front witl lapping banda of the drees
material. Theee were double berthas,
■ each bordered with Persian work. Tho
•looses were largo gigota. confined by
gathers in the middle.
Heliotrope, with quite a decided crim
son reflection, is often seen among the
new goods, both in wool aud silk, and
black shot with violet is also shown among
the novultioH. Bnt of all the shot silks
and wools that with gold as one of the
colors is tlie handsomest. It is warm
and plsasing. Red end black also mako
a rich combination.
Theso goods aro now being ehown lav
ishlyandna rapidly purchased in epite
of hard times, for women innst dress
and men mist weep in this instance.
Amcng tho latest importations from
abroad there 'are several novelties in
tutted effects. They are woven in
a manner os to reeemble velvet, thongh
entirely of wool. They are two toned,
tbo tufts are of curled mohair in ditto
ent colon, though these are generally
black or vary dark on lighter grounds.
There are many new lines of bask
weave cheviots with tufted stripes, and
these are often seen in the most striking
combinations of colors, which are tonea
down by the tufted stripe. All the
tufted goods, however, are not striped,
for I noticed several where the tufts
bobbed up in irregular spots. They are
aptly but inelegantly styled niggrrhead
tufts and may resemble a lot of wooly
little pates bobbing ,up out of a shah
woven mnch wider than before on ac
count of the manner in which skirts are
now cut. There are many designs of
rich and heavy changeable twilled silks
and armure, tricot or basket weaves
where the two colors show and with the
minute dots or squares of the darker
color thrown up on the surface. There
are some few silks with stripes of plush,
and others with a low tnfted effect, and
there are very heavy ribbed silks for em
pire gowns and rich wraps and cloaks.
My own impression is that there will
he more plaid worn this season than
plain color, with the exception of black.
There ore some plaids so large that a
width of the goods scarcely suffices to
display tho pattern. There are others
more modest, and a favorite plaid is ono
made by narrow dark lines on a neutral
tint ground—for instance, a dark brown
over fawn, tan, biege or mode, or a sort
of mixture combining all the heather
tints. This style of plaid comes under
the head of shepherd's plaid, hat it is
really not atrictly one, as shepherd’s
plaids are always in fine checks, not over
an eighth of an inch, with a thread or so
forming another cheek above that in
larger size.
A tailor finished fall walking gown
shows the best way to make theso plaids.
They ore cat on the straight, whilo the
very large plaids ore almost always cut
bias. The suit I have in mind had a plain
seven gored skirt, with the bock breadth
gathorod at the top. There was no un
der corsage, hat s coat basque took its
place. This was cut foil in the skirt
ext and was tailor stitched around the
xittom, and it was lined with change
able taffeta all through, la front it was
cut away, leaving a vest of the same, fas
tened with black velvet bnttons. Tho
high dollar and levers were of black vel
vet, tad there was a narrow band of the
same at the bottom of the ekirt.
I saw another suit made after thia
model without any other trimming than
tailor stitching. The velvet trimming
was a little raoredreesy, bnt tho neat tai
lor stitching was more stylish. The vest
could bo of ether material, like whito
doth and with flat gold buttons, or it

coutd be turned in and worn with a

yards of goods 54 inches wide to make
the gigot sleevi
I had a private view of two new even-
low pond. The cheviots have run riot I in ? wr £fL intended for opera or visiting
n.i. 1 -...i i a .. where full drees is required. One is of
this season and have overstepped th<
bounds of their old conservative quiet
ness. Wo find them now with rieh
changing tints and all sorts of figures
made by tufted mohair, stripes, checks
nnd snowfla’es, but it makes no differ
ence how a cheviot is disguised—it is al
ways solid rains.
There are serges, too, that are dis
guised under the ubiquitous tnft and the
changeable effect. These are all wool anil
aro very durable. .Formerly the change
able effect was wrought by silk, bnt it
was found that the wool threads rasped
the silk so that it was not durable. Mo
hair is as glassy os the silk snd stronger.
The coast guard serges are excellent for
good solid use and have several new
qualities to recommend them this sea
son. They are is nil tbs latest shades.
Thera is a long list of woolens in solid
colon, and a quantity of plain diagonal
wools in two tonea and in solid colors.
There are some exquisite printed henri-
ettes which Hava flowers so perfect that
one feels like smelling them. The flow
ers are often seen in cheuey silk designs
with that sain* mysterious hazy outline.
There is also another new goods, called
Scot’s doth, in dark colors or neutnl
shades. It is rough, ragged and coarse,
but firm, and a costume of this would be
very stylish and also useful. It is a
species of tweed, and it is said to be rain-
truer. Crystal poplins ore also display-

which piles between the city and

EOPLE who have had the
advantages of wealth and
culture, but who aro not
born with tact, often say
and do things which aro
wearing and jarring to the
nerves of tho naturally tasteful person.
Over and over again you and I have
hurl Rome one with whom we were con
versing pause suddenly in the midst of a
narrative and say, “I hope I am not bor-
jng yen *vith this storyT* or, ^Porhsos
you nre not intereeted in this!” or, “I hopo
1 do not weary yott?”
Now, however bored we may he, wo
aro obliged ont of conventional polite
ness to reply to this idiotic question
with a still more idiotio, “Oh, no, I as
sure yon,” uttered with great animation
and impressiveness, or, “I beg you to
,continue; I am deeply interested.” Any
other reply would bo an insult which
would nover bo forgiven by the ques
tioner. He would bo startled beyond ex
pression were we to say: “Yes, I am tired
of listening to you. Your story boresmo
horribly.'’ He knows wo will assure him
of our pleasure in having him continue.
Then why does he go through the plati-
tudo of asking such n foolish question?
It is senseless and embarrassing. The
tactfnl person knows when he ceases to
interest his listener and adroitly hastens
the climax of his story. The moment
the slightest inattention is observed in
one to whom we are talking we should
have discretion enough to bring the
conversation to a graceful close, unless
our listener insists upon its continuation.
Another similar act of stupidity, and
of oven more frequent occurrence, is to
break in upon a tete-a-toto of two persons
with your presence and the remark, “1
hope I am not interrupting you,” or “1
hope I am not de trop." You know, how
ever unwelcome your presenco may be,
that these people will politely lie to you
and toll yon you are welcome. If it is
necessary for you to Interrupt a tete-a-
tete, os it may bo under some circum
stances, mako known your business and
got dono with, it, bnt if it is not necessary
wait until you are naked by both partita
to join them, thou yon will be sure you
aro not unwelcome. But if yon are de
termined to mako the dnet a trio, don't
add to your possible disngreenbleness by
useless nnd foolish question which
forces two people to tell you an untruth.
If you are admitted to the presence of
professional or business person whom
you know to be burdened with affairs,
do not begin yonr call by saying: “I
hopo yon are not busy. I am always
afraid, of taking your time. I am very
sensitive about intruding upon the pre
cious hours of a person like yon.”
This forces your host to say, "Oh, no;
am quito at yonr disposal; I am very
glad to see yon,” and all that sort of
thing, which has more or less truth in
it, hut which if stripped of politem
would stand forth in naked truth liko
this:
•T am at liberty to give yon a few mo
ments, hut make yonr call short and to
the point. It it is business, get at it and
through with it. If it is social, be ns
agreeable os you can iu as short a space
of time ns possible. Short calls and
speedy exit a make enduring friendships.
I know a business man whose desk is
in tlie room which opens from a pablic
hall iu a large buildiDgonUnion square,
New York. This gentleman has hun
dreds of employees und is distracted
with all tho numerous anxieties of a
growing business. Bnt his friends and
acquaintances from all parts of tho
world, from adjoining towns and cities
and from country placet, are like moths,
gnawing his precious time into rags by
their prolonged calls. He cannot escape
them because of the exposed situation of
his office, rind ont of every ten callers
nine enter his presenco saying, “I hopo 1
do not interrupt you, but I was mar
your office, and I thought I would drop
in and seo you a moment."
Ah. if it were but “a moment,” how
pleasantly that moment would brighten
up the dayl But the moment became
half an hour, and although the caller
eee* messenger hoys and clerks standing
In line before his friend awaiting his or
der* he smiles politely and reiterates his
senseless speech, “I hope I am not tak
ing too mnch of yonr time," and the tor
tured man, loogtngtocry ont, “Yea. yon
are driving me distracted by compelling
me to neglect pressing duties," feels
obliged for old friendship's sake to smile
and say:
“Oh, no, I assure you. Keep your seat.
I will return in a minnte."
If each caller on a busy person could
realize that be is bnt one of scores—that
his interruption is one of many which
break time into useless remnants-all
the annoyance and trouble would be
saved. .
The busy or professional person may
be strongly social by nature and deeply
attached to his friends. He cannot bear
to wound them by a brnsqne or severe
manner or refuse to see them utterly
but all his pleasure in their society is
ruined by their lack of thought on this
matter and their senseless speeches
which drive him Into the utter.,nee of
meaningless platitude*.

Child and Nurse.
It is a perpetual surprise to any ob
serving mind that well bred parents
leave their children to the continual
companionship of persons with whom
they themselves would not think of asso
ciating. An eminent scientist has stated
tljijt a child learns more during the first
five years than it does all tho rest of its
life. Yet that most receptive period,
when every impression is a lasting one,
many children spend almost entirely
with a servant. Tho trouble does not lie
in the fact that sbe is a eorvant, bnt that
servants are, as a rule, ignorant and
superstitions, uncultivated In mode of
thought, conversation and customs. The
moat honest and trustworthy of the ig
norant class will unavoidably inoculate
the child with unmannerly forms of
speech and unrefined habits, every one
of whioh has to bo painfully extermi
nated at a later stage of growth, while
many hired nursee nro not even humane
to their charges.
It is no uncommon thing to see in tho
public parks a nurse dragging about by
tho arm a young child, raining blows on
its ears and face and threatening it loud
ly with battle, murder and sudden death.
Is it any wonder that tho llttlo creature,
buffeted thus early nnd taught by exam
ple all tho violences of ungoverned tem
per and the crooked means of explaining
away unpleasant consequences, learns to
strike, disobey, speak falsely and utter
uncouth phrases? It is through tho im
itative faculty that a baby begins to
learn, and if its first examples are serv
ants the resulting bad manners anil
coarsenesses are the fault of the parents
who leave it-exposed to snch iufinences.
The owner of a valuable horse would
not think of lending it unless positive
that tho borrower was in every respect
worthy to be trusted with it, but fathers
aud mothers band over their children to
the night and day companionship of a
foreign peasant without a qualm of un
easiness. Parents who will neither take
tho trouble to Becuro a gentle and re
fined woman to take ciuirgo of their lit
tle ones or givo np a part of their own
time to that duty deserve to have dis
agreeable and ill bred sons and daugh
ters, and usually receive their desert.
Bat it is cruelly hard on tho children.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
I have no pre.lmlnarlea to offer, no
explanations to make. I was appointed
to investigate the beat known man In
America, a man known professionally
through his miraculous cures and dar
ing feats from Nova Scotia to the
Golden Gate, from the Hudson Bay
to Cedar Keys, almost us well as In
bis home. I refer to Dr. B. C. Flower
of Boston; who has not heard ut him?
Many cases are on record of Dr.
Flower being called to the deathbed
wnen tile was vanishing or tne patient
supposed <o be dead, when, almost by
a magical feat, the change is stopped,
health entaranesl Itsctf, the cure
made. How he does these things he
does not say, but he docs them, and
Is doing them all the time.
Personally Dr. Flower is very popu
lar. He has more friends than any
body I ever knew—everybody who
knows him likes him. and to knew him
Is to like him. He is 43 years of age,
entering bis prime. He is young in ev
ery sense of the word, und under all
circumstances Ms large, full face is
radiant with a smile. He Is a man of
remarkable faith, and lives in the at
mosphere of hope. He believes In the
brightness of the rising sun rather
tlnui the setting sun; In tne twilight of
dqwn rather than the twilight or night.
He Is faorewd and Keen to an extreme
degree, btgniy educated, a nature
highly poeuetd and a most fascinating
conversationalist. The late Edwin
Booth used to say: "He la the- most
magnetic man 1 ever knew, and <le-
ligucfully so; you can’t resist him, and
you don't want to.” True, he has bitter
enemies (Ur .ugh you never hear him
say a word uguinst tnem.) Un tne otner
hand, look at his friends. Let it be an
nounced that Dr. H. C. Flower can be
consulted at a certain .date at any city
or town in the United State* and on
that occasion crowds gamer to see
him. His snesnlcs are me Jealous ele
ments in ths profession; bis friends are
me people, wno gamer around him
like birds to the water courses.
Dr. Flower averages upward of 13,-
000 patients under his core all the time,
and over 13,000 cases yearly. He treats
ohrmlc.case* exclusively; but when It
comes to treating cancers, tumors, con
sumption, nerves, heart, kidneys ana
the digestive functions, I speak ad
visedly when I say I don't believe he
falls In one in fifty of these terrible
maladies, when given up by the general
practitioners to die.
In this branch of practice Dr. Flower
knows his business. In this field
HE IS KING.
Dr. Ftower In no way interferes with
the practice of other physicians. He
only seeks the patient* others cannot
curs. To use hi* own words; "I don't
want patients other doctors can cure. I
only want the eupposed Incurables, as
I have every facility and means on
this earth for helping them.”
Ur. R. C. Flower’s special work In his
large practice is the examination qt
patients and connultattbn with hi*
snctaite*. This is all he hna done for
years, but thia Hi the key lo the most
wonderful practice of the age. Hls
examination* are most wonderful phe
nomena. He never usks Che rick nun
to tell him anything The moment too
paitlent comes into his presence he wifi
tell him hls trouble* in de-alt better
than the stek min can tell 'him—abb-
to read the interior condition of a rick
man without asking a question, the
doctor Is not likely to doctor him for
the wrong trouble. On the other baud,
lie is sure to doctor him tor Che right
titling. Most of Dr. Ftaweri* patient*
are treated at their home* Dr. Flower
always has from ono to three stenogra-
phera (short band writers) wt.h him.
He has the history of every csss Uken
down In short hand and written out In
full and put on Iks In bis ofllce.
In -che East Dr. Flower Si a power

great. This is seen in the legislative
halls. In burinwa and the avenues of
finance. 1 never knew suoh love an 1

out any benefit. There was soa.-ce.ly
anything I could eat; I could not sleep;
my nerves ihad broken down. The doc
tors gave me only three month* more
to work. I wus in a state of despair
and hud riven up. My wife had a
friend. Mra Dr. Wing of Elkhorn. WIs..
whom Dr. Flower had cured of a terri
ble disease, wtho urged -her to have me
go to the doctor. To please my wl>
l went, though I bad no faith. Imac-
itie my surprise when Dr. Flower began
telling me my troubles In detail with
out asking me a question and without
knowing who I vrno better than I oould
have told trim. This gave me consid
erable confidence. ‘Can yon do any
thing for me?' I asked. ‘I can cur*
you' woe Ms calm reply. I put myself
under hi* care. In n few moulds I was
cured sound and well. I have been In
perfect health ever since. I bavu known
of many of Dr. Flower's cures Chat ire
wonderful. 1 consider," continued Mr.
Morrison. "Brat Dr. R. C. Fiower is ons
of the most wonderful physicians and
men that ever lived, ssvd one of the
beat men. He Is doing an Immense
amiutit of good in tfris world, and will
oontlnsm to do so.”
The Toledo Blade recently published
sn account of several of Dr. R. C.
Flower’s seemingly miraculous cures.
Among these were H. D. Posey, 415
Chestnut street, RvemvUle, Ind.. of ocn-
sqqtption of Mood, of etesnaeri and Mr-
you* prectratlon; Mr*. Jdhn D. Decker,
103 Jabhu street. Evamsvrile, Ind., ol

Coryaoii. Ind.. of ’.surge mind advanced

tumor; Mrs. Edward Riley. Roseville.
Ind.. of imranmua, Ixturt trouble, with
nervous prurtrtation; Mrs. Henry Clap
per, Bcaflvld, Ind., of large fibroid tu
mor of cancerous nature. By special
investigation I have verified the accura
cy of these statements.
It Is not overstating tire facts to say
that Dr. H. C. Flower has been for
years the moat highly Indorsed physi
cian In this e-untry. and these contin
uous flow* of eulogies from hi* grate
ful patlenu are not from some local
section, but from all part* of the United
States, from the Sierras to the pineries
of Maine. One cannot Investigate ths
great work of this ttmn and listen to hls
patients tell ln their plain and simple
manner of how be cured them when
given up to die without believing that
Dr. Flower ha* mastered the worst of
chronto diseases, and that under hls
care the m at despairing can tak* hope.
Dr. Flower was seen at the Orand
hotel yesterday, where he wss
thronged with patients waiting to •«*
him. He stopped tong enough to say
that he was on a professional trip
through Indians. Michigan and the
Northwest. . ,
