EAUTIFUL SILKS I
.oiisaiiils of Yards of The
ts Most BeadtifJl.
THIRD SHIPMENT COMES
*
And in Spite of Rain the Sales
Have Begun.
I quit my “continued sto
j” on yesterday, while in the
silk department, but the villian
still pursued her, and today, in
spite of war or rumors of war,
and though municipal adminis
trations are changing and the
yain is falling and the Masons
fire gathering in Rome—why I
propose to pick up the silk thread
of my story, waste no further
time in skirling about and re
sume the narrative.
“To have paid your respects
to this department,” remarked
Manager Sam Powers, as he
stood in front of an ocean of
folded billows of silken beauty,
“would have been easier on
Saturday than it will be today,
for we have this morning open
ed up a shipment of the justly
famous shirt waist silks, which
adds scores of patterns and thou
sands of yards to our big stock
of silks.”
And while he piled down a
dozen of these beautiful patterns
before me, he continued talking.
Said he : “ Every fashion mag
azine for the past three seasons
has opened up with an article,
the object of which was to rele
gate the shirt waist and sepa
rate skirt—but all in vain. Dame
fashion has not yet succeeded
in routing a combination in
woman’s dress that is so happy,
blending economy and beauty,
comfort a.id dressy effects.”
The shirt waist and separate
skirt has come to stay, seems to
be a verdict from womankind in
spite of the biased charge of the
judgess, Old Lady Fashion.
itecogni'/ing this as a condi
tion and not a theory,Bass Bros
& Co.,have prepared to meet the
emergency.
“This is the third shipment
already this season,” said Mr.
Powers, and all the time he was
doubling, folding, catching to
gether and otherwise arranging
the blend of beautiful colors to
catch and captivate my mascu
line eye.
These new arrivals were taf

Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant
and refreshing to the taste, and acta
gently yet promptly on the Kidneys,
Liver and Bowels, cleanses the sys
tem effectually, dispels colds, head
aches and fevers and cures habitual
constipation. Syrup of Figs is the
only remedy of its kind ever pro
duced, pleasing to the taste and ac
ceptable to the stomach, prompt in
its action and truly beneficial in its
effects, prepared only from the most
healthy and agreeable substances, its
many excellent qualities commend it
to all and have made it the most
popular remedy known.
Syrup of Figs is for sale in 50

gists. Any reliable druggist who

checks, and rangedin price from
39 cents to $ I.
Worn with these the swellest
development of the season is the
ruffled taffeta skirt. They are
marvelous creations when view
ed on a fashion plate or grace
fully gliding—they are made in
colors of every hue, though the
most popular is the solid black.
In this department 1 found
also a mo it elegantly entrancing
line of black brocaded silks with
gros grain grounds and rich sat
in figures of a conventional de
sign, also the same style of
ground with vayadcre satin
stripes. «
There can be nothing richer
for an entire costume or a sepa
rate skirt, and the money figures
are equally interesting, being
built on a rock bottom ground
of 75 cents, up to a
$ 1.25 stripe.
Mr. Powers showed me a big
line of changeable and solid col
ors in taffetas. In the profusion
of colors the “Burnt Orange” is
said to be the most popular,
closely followed by the Ameri
can Beauty, a color that came
out late last season and became
so popular.
For handsome calling or street
costumes, the most popular this
season is the silk grenadines.
These are made up in scores of
combinations, in solid black,
colored figures and stripes, over
color or black silks and trimmed
with lace, ribbons or passemen
terie.
(Not finding that last word in
the wardrobe of my silk vocabu
lary, I asked Mr. Powers to spell
it for me and therefore have it
right.)
In making this story “to be
continued” I want to advertise
you to look out for the next
chapter. “Kash.”

In the glorious dawn of a
spring Sabcath morn the noble
spirit of Mr. P. H. Hardin took
its flight into the Great Beyond.

came his loved ones and friends,
though deeply grieved, were not
surprised.
Mr. Hardin leaves a wife and
one child, a son, Mr. Sam Har

And with their grief is blend

The funeral occurred from the
First Presbyterian church this

Dr. Goetchius. g
The remains were conveyed to
Myrtle Hill through a deluge of
rain and were laid to rest, tem
porarily, in the Battoy vault.
They will be interred in Jthe
family burial lot later on.

After Others Failed.
“I was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long r.fter this, a
scrofula sore appealed ou my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores c line on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became gr-..t running sores. My
face looked r > bad tl.at Home of my
neighbors could no; bear to look at me
and advised me to wear a bandage, but I
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So 1
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with a case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time I saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu
ralgia in my head was better. In a few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
I have never had any symptom of scrofula
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affliction. The neuralgia is also cured.”
