The Eton consists of a smoothly Gtted foundation lining, fronts and I [j back.

When le vests and straight cuffs are of ashable material they caif be made detachable, so rendering laundering a | A LATE DESIGN 1 i m.. eimple matter. Tlrte bolt is arranged Over the edge at back and sides and passed through openings in the fronts and vest to be ctosed beneath. The quantity of material required for the medium size is five yards twenty-one inches wide, three and one-half jrards twenty-seven inches wide, or two 8nd three-fourth yards forty-four Inches wide, with one-half yard of silk for revers and roll-over cuffs, fiveeighth yards of pique and four, yards of banding to trim as illustrated. For Morning Wear. Java linen is used for morning gowns, and pale blue is the favorite shade. It is trimmed with white braid pnd white pearl buttons. The skirt is >wt in eleven gores, with a pleat at each fceam and a tiny shallow rever to simulate a hip yoke. Each rever, folded back from the front breadth, is fastened down by three small pearl buttons. The blouse jacket has pleats back and front, with small revers or '"flaps" over the shoulders; these are fastened down with buttons to match those on the skirt for the depth of a Ihoulder yoke. The buttons are arranged in groups of three. A turnover, triangular collar is embroidered in I Jvhite braid. This opens siigntiy at ibe throat to show the guimpe or ihleld of Java blue linen with plain Seckband. A breast eearf of blue mescaline silk falls down in front like a Jabot below the open guinipe. There is k mnocolinft o-irrlln nt Ihf w.list which I fastens with a silver buckle. The full sleeves nre pleated at the armholes, anil are vertically tucked In a pronp of pleats at tbe lower edge. The tucked pleats produce the exact offeet of a straight cuff or narrow wristband, some five inehcs deep. A strap of blue linen, with a single pearl button, fastens around the lower edge of sleeve. The Latest Skirt*. Trimmed skirts are the rule; the plain skirt an exception. There are flounced skirts, there are tucked skirts, and there are pleated skirts, in all possible and many impossible materials. ^Colored linens are very fashionable, and are often made with sral \ loped flounces embroidered in white. But these linen gowns come in what are known as dress patterns or robes,"1 and require very little making up, while they are often to be bought dt really.low prices. i Veiling is extremely fashionable, cou tlnues Harpers JBazar, ana wime me very latest shades of color are expensive, there are dozens of attractive colorings,. and fashionable ones as well, at very low prices. These ^>wns are charming for street wear, and if light enough in effect they are perfectly possible for house and evening wear. Lace is as fashionable as ever for trimming, and there never were so many good imitations to be bought, and at such low prices. The Black Poodle Handle. The black poodle has appeared on the handle of parasol sticks. He is tnot very comfortable to carry, but so stylish that no single complaint is heard from the possessor. In dullfinished black wood the poodle is a great success. He is not so large as to be grotesque, and his wooliness is reproduced quite cleverly, as is his semishaven aspect. A black poodle handle is seen on one of the emorald green satin sunshades. He is also seen on a black parasol which has a lining of self-color for twothirds of the length, and a deep striped border lining of heavily-barred black and write. Generonaly Trimmed "With Kihhan. Some of the new autumn toilettes of a "dressy" description will'be gener onsly trimmed with ruches of narrow ribbon to matcb. For ordinary antunm wear, however, the. covert coat will be far more generally adopted than it has been for many yeass. New Automobile Cap. ! For the fair antomobillst, says the Brooklyn Eagle, the newest cap is of a heavy grade of khaki, witb peak of Chinese goatskin, in dark greon. flecked with gold. Nine Gored Walking Skirte. The walking skirt that flares with BY MAY MANTON, t rerfect freedom about the feet yet is snug over the hips is a 'favorite ?f the season and is likely to retain all its vogue for a long time to come, inasmuch as it is eminently graceful and becoming as well, as oonifortable. In the case of the model each alternate gore is different, the front, centre side and back gores being plain, while the intervening ones are made in two sections each, the lower portions beire box pleated. All materials suitable for street wear and heavy enough to be made in tailor style are appropriate, linen, the more substantial veilings, cheviot and all the familiar cloth, tafl'etas and the like, but the original is made of brown canvas veiling stitched with corticelli silk and trimmed with bands of silk headed by fancy braid. The skirt is cut in nine gores. Those at side front and side back are made with plain upper and box pleated lower portions and at the edge of each plain gore is a narrow pleat which- conceals the seam. The quantity of material required for | ttie medium size IS ien ymw iwcrnjono inr-bcs wide, eijrht and one-fourth yards twenty-seven inches wide, or KIKE GORED WALKING SKIRT. four and one-half yards forty-four inches wide, with two and one-half yards each of silk barding and braid to trim as illustrated. J. \ ? . A SERMON FOR SUNDAY ? i! TT AN ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED, y "REWARDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS." a The Rev. Dr. N. MoGee Water* S?y? That j, if You Would Attain Earthly I'rcsperlty j| Christ Mui-t Be Your Teacher?The it True Prescription For All Scholarship, t; ii Brooklyn, N. Y.?Dr. N. MtGee Wa- js ters, pastor of the Tompkins Avenue Con- tl gregational Church, took as his subject lc Sunday morning, "Rewards of Righteousness." His text was from Matthew vi: k 33; "Seek ye lirst the kingdom of God t) arid His righteousness, and all these things o sjjall be added unto you.-' Dr. Waters o said in the course of his excellent sermon: a Prom the beginning until now man's g search has been for the golden age. Some- n times he named it the Golden Fleece; a sometimes Holy Grail. Plato prophesied u it in a republic yet to be. Bunyan, after ri a weary pilgrimage, found it beyond the S Delectable Mountains. Bacon saw it in ti Atlantis, rising out of the mid?it of an un- si sailed sea. It is always afar off and in the h future. Like the pot of gold at the foot v of the rainbow., it is always over the next h hill. n Jesus also prophesied ?. golden age? a called it "the Kingdom of God," and found |c it in the present time. For a long tune " men went hu. gry, and lo! there was al- w ways plenty in the ground?when they ? "scratched the earth ?ith a hoe it laughed 15 with a har\est." They prized diamonds, and lo! they were always in the river beds " for the finding. They shivered for warmth, v and lo! coal was stored under the hills. a Th'cy longed for some p'ack horse, and lo! c giants were chained ;n every flowing riv- n er. They were always f looking for the e golden age. Jesus raid: "Look within? the Kingdom of God is vitliin yon." *' Men are always expecting the Kingdom v of God to come through some device of a their making. They cry, "'Let us have a ?. better government and a better wage, and r we will have the Kingdom of God; let us 11 toil and hoard a mountain of gold, and ^ "when our barns are filled we will have the Kingdom of i^od. Let us search after " knowledge. . nd when we are wise we will t] have the Kingdom of God. Lot U6 trade our strength for popularity and reputation, d when with the laurel we have bound our a brow we shall be blessed." ^ Jesus says just the opposite: "Sesk the J; Kingdom of God and you will have no labor problem, for you will have . n increased ^ wage; ceek the Kingdom of God, and you will find wealth: seek the Kingdom of ^ God, and you will be enrolled among the * children of immortality." Men say. "Let us get rich ap'cHwe will be content." Je- ? sus says, "Be*, content, and you will be rich." Mc.. sRy, "Let us get wisdom, t\nd we will be happy." Jesus says, "Be hap- a an/1 vnn.-uritt )w TOitip "Mpn MV "Tt \VC ?. can gain all these thing.0, like houses aud > lands, Ave win be the children of the King dom of God." Jesus say?, "EDter into the Kingdom of God, and you wall have all j these things." s ; When will we believe the teachings of e Jesus? He was ahead of ]ms time. We s are growing up to Him, to understand Him ri better than early generations. Ever * say- h ing of His we find true as law and fact, c Take.that saying of Hip. "The meek shall o inherit the earth." Jt was too hard for C His age. But time, the great tester, pro- t nounces it pure gold. The wise man every- J where sees the exceeding reward of meek- t ness. They get who forget. n Jesus said to His disciples: "It is es- C pedient for you that I go away." They s could not; believe that then. But when a h long time hath passed we know that really J death is a benefit, and that great men are a never so.,valuab'!e to their disciples as after <1 they have gone away from the earth. The ii text, "Seek first the Kingdom of God," V etc., is one of those sayings that we have a to grow up to. Generally men have read t it in some mystical way. They have re- a f:arded it as time only in some peculiar re- a igious sense. But it is a literal fact; it is t truth; it is law of the universe. Virtue I' ia the road to fame. Godliness is profit- a able in this world. y "And all these things shall be added." , What things? Christ has just named , them?food and clothes and the material ^ prizes for which men strive. Men are kewayed by motives as trees are by the J1 winds. Tell me what you most love and I will tell you what you.will be. You love knowledge with a passion?the Greek did 'r and he became a scholar; you love power?the Roman did and Rome is yet Jaw r giver for the nations; you love beauty? 0 jonn jveats am ana ne-Decame a poet, j' Among the motives that sway men's daily Jives, we may put firat these three?the pursuit of wealth, the gaining of knowl- r edge and the winning of fame. How can , these things best be won? According to i Jesus, by a deep hearted search after the v Kingdom of God. , * Wealth?the laws of wealth are the laws | of righteousness. Knowledge?the king- >. dom of knowledge is the Kingdom of God. r Fame?"the Lord knoweth the way of the "t righteous, but the ways of the wicked shall rot." ' Let us look at the world of wealth. The t savage has no prosperity; it io only the t civilized man who grows rich. What is y wealth? Emerson tells us it begins "with r a tight roof that keci)3 cut the rain and a j. goou pump that yields sweet waters, and horses, or a loeomotive to cross the land, j and a boat to cross the sea." But whence j come the rcof and the Tiump and the ship ^ and the locomotive? Man did not invent a them; he cnlv discovered then. They are j, the laws of God dressed up in clothes of j Wood and steel and stone. The laws cf v wealth sr? the laws of righteousness. Men f go toward prosperity as they find the laws f cf God. -y Again, hew do wc get wealth? There 1 arc three possible ways. A man nay beg t ii:, he may steal it, or a :ran may earn it. t Hut neither pauner nor beggar increases 1 the wcalLli cf the community. Only by I the laws ci industry and vision can wo in- <] crease wealtn. But the laws of labor and I vision are the laws cf the Kingdom of C*id. li Barbarism he. been, with its poverty, de- 1 fned as "society without the command- a mentr." Contrariwise, then, civilization, a wi.h all its houses and lands and stocks r and bonds, is ccciety with the command- r, ncnta. Violation oi' tho Iaw3 of God in n rvery age means bankruptcy. Obedience s to the laws of Cod in every age makes for c prosperity. Ifictcry writes down the tale j: of empire?. When slio writes do'vn "Py- r ramifls" nml "Pnrf-Vipnnn" .otifl "TTnncrinnr \ Gardens," *he expresses their desolation 1 by saying over their ruins, '"These people o forgot Cod, ai d hence their waste places." a She writes down "London," "Chamber of o Commerce," "Shipyards," "Temple," "Li-" brary." and expresses their glory by say- g ing, "These have remembered Gcd--hence t their prosperity." t The liible pronounces "Anathema" v against those who "make haste to get o rich"?that is, they who, despising the laws g rf God, take a short cut to prosperity, t Their wealth i- poverty; their gain is loss, b The mistress who holds back the just h wage from tnc maid; the borrower who re- ii fuses to return to the lender; the govern- ii ;..ent that debases its people with debased j coin, may temporarily gain; but such wealth destroys the possessor and is like p the wrecker's handful of coin, gleaned from the beach to which he has beguiled an argosy; is like the camp follower's bundle of ^ags i.tolrn from the breast of men slain in battle; it like the coin of Judasonly blood money paid to buy a potter's n field wherein liberty and justice and pros- ii perity shall al last be hurled -n the grave a of dishonor. Way back in t!ie Old lesta- p ment we have Moses saying: "Thou shall 'i not have diverse measures in thy sane- tl tuary." The words call up for us a scene tl from that far off time. There are booths ai with baskets of figs and grapes and golden wheat and bottles of oil and 6ilks and k cloths, and the merchant has two sets ot si scales?oue scale, with a large pan, in k which he buys the grapes from tiie hus- A bandman, and another, with a sunail pan, A __.L * I.

And the King begins to pay his w men in debased coin, and honesty and in- In legrity and jnstiee are being exterminate V fid, and there is growing up a people with ui lying King and lying merchants and false r! words. The old prophet rises in his anger ti and says: "A false measure is an abum- of ination unto the Lord." Any falsehood in fo commerce at last poisons the very foun- sa dation of civilization. The city and the ra nation and the individual man who have forgotten God and Hk laws do not stand st cor a long time in the world of commerce, cc 1 . ? The laws oi -wealth are the laws of ighteousness.

Many a slave un* luglit and unthinking has lived and died 1 the sight of the Parthenon. Knowledge i greatness. Knowledge always makes lie difference between Kpictetus and his nvlv brother. Knowledge is power. What in knowledge? llow do we gain nowledge? There sits Thomas Carlyle, he lonesomest man in England, and one f the poorest, feeding his shaggy intellect n French revolution, storm of modern ges. When he speaks we call' him our reateBt prophet and scholar. And his lessage is: "1 have found God reigning mong all peoples.7' He writes down for s ine jaws 01 uivinu ituiuuuuu un through" the nation. Like'the old candanavian Titan that he is, he drinks he liquid fire of divine wrath out of the kull of perished empire. And he smacked is Purita/i lips as though it was savory rine. Knowledge is finding out divine tws. There is Charles Dickens. He is ot satisfied to meet people on the street s we do and shake handd with them and :arn their names. But, looking into their j earts and homes and haunts and sins j rith sympathy, with pathos and with rar- I st humor, he writes his books. These | ooks become a sort of Bible of the sub- | lerged tenth of society, and in them we ! nd written down the great divine laws I rhich govern action arid conduct and cbarcter. He is the poor man's prophet, beause he found on thtf heart of the poor )<in the handwriting of God. All knowldge is revelation. Seeking the way God made the stars go, lepler became an astronomer. Seeking the 'ay the world was made, Wallace became scientist. Seeking the mysteries and as- j rets of the human soul and Clod's doing j herein. Kant became a philosopher. Seek- j ig to find out how God wrought upon hit' j tan nature, Shakespeare penetrated into I he soul depths of Iago, Hamlet, Desdejona, Richard.

Here is the prescripion for all scholarship: /'Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness \ nd all these things shall be added unto ou." In every age men believe that fame can ie bought for a price, and so they tear town their warehouses and build larger !o they multiply their fleets until their fhite sails cover every sea; so they get for heniselves houses and lands and stocks nd bonds. When they die the market [rops down for a day or a week and then he world goes on. You do not know the lames of any rich men m Athens or Rome r Thebes?or Babylon. You may know the lame of some orator or some scholar who iad wealth, but you do do not know the lame of any man who had nothing but wealth. There was a man who laid the oundation of his fortune in the days of he Stuarts. He was a powder manufac- J urer. He drove his coach and four and ived in a palace. He built silken nests or his children. He had been an ardent loyalist, but when the Revolution came, ie said: "There is a tide in the affairs oi aen, which, if taken in its flood, leads on o fortune." And he cut off his powdered urls and left off his jeweled sword. He ven sang psalms. IJe turned Puritan. He I urned his back on the cathedral and went o worship in a Puritan conventicle. He tad his reward. lie got the contract for i naking powder for Cromwell's army and | iccame a multi-millionaire. And when the j estoration came he grew again his Van j )yke beard, he again wore bis velvet doub- : et. he acain went to church with prayei j took and crucifix. He even stood uy ana i pplauded when Cromwell's bones were | lung up to dry on Tyburn Hi!]. He quick- | y became a cavalier and he had his re- I I'ard. For lo! Charles made him a Knight j if ihe Garter and he still had the contract or making powder for the English Army. I Vhat was his name? You do not know. I \Tobody knows. You cannot find it tfrit en down in any book. But in that same I ime there was a poor man who was a Juritan under the first Stuarts, who?was a 'uritan secretary of commonwealth unler Cromwell, and who was a Puritan j ilind and poor, an exile threatened with lis life under the returned Stuarts. He I lad the pen of a ready writer and the Stu- j rts offered him gold to make the worse ppear the better fjide. He said: "Nay, lay, I will live m'hunger and I will hear uy children cry for bread, but I will not ell my honor. 1 care not for parties. I trive only for the truth of the Kingdom if God." And everything he ever said in irose or in poetry is still remembered. Hislame was John Milton, and every school loy knows it by heart. Seek first tke kingdom of God and fame will find you ut. Always the pathway to greatness is long the line of loyalty to the Kingdom S God. Seek the Kingdom of God, that is the reat thing. Any man who seeks wealth or wealth's sake will always te poor, hough he be clad in purple. Any man .'ho seeks first and always the Kingdom f God will be rich, whether he live in a arret or a king's palace. It is the law of he universe.

I suffered much from my first menstrual period, I 1'elt so weak and dizzy at times 1 could not pursue my studies with the usual interest. My thoughts became sluggish, 1 had headaches, backaches and sinking spells, also pains in the back and lower limbs. In fact, I was aick all over. " Finally, alter many other remedies had bean tried, we were advised to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am pleased to say that after taking it only two weeks, a wonderful change for the better took place, and in a short time I was i* perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of life, and found all work a pastime. I am indeed glad to tell my experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for it made a different girl of me.
