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 fetas in fancy plaids, stripes and OKT® ENJOYS Both the method and results when 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.

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.” LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

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.” Mrs. J. M. Hatch, Etna, New Hampshire.
