It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba- go, frequent desireto urinate, often with a burning sensatiou,-.the flow of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between thenavel and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing, small quantities being passed with dif- ficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments.

Like the popular pique this materlal may be obtained in the very deep shades of bright colors as well as in white and medium shades. Black jeans is a summer novelty which is scarcely like- -1 y to prove as popular‘as black piq ue,he~ cause of the broWnish tint which is al- ways seen upon it, even while new. In the. lighter shades of gray,‘ blue, rose pink and reds the satiny finish beecmes an especial attraction.

There is an allowance at the bottom of this garment for a six-inch hem. The position for the trimming, which consists of double folds of dotted jeans stitched at the upper edge of the skirt, is marked upon the pattern. The folds havea further finish of white cotton braid stltched flat upon the edges Where desired this trimming scheme may be reversed, and the braid made to cover the stitching upon the top of the fold. The folds should be made of bias material, and care should 4 be ex- ercised in fitting the points in back and front of the gown and of the collar.

BIRMA'N, 7 taller and contempt": Jane: 33 45.41% Street,- The bodice is a kind of bloused' 'back, with but the merest suggestion ofgatherin'g in the centre at the waist. The front is slightly full, andeven sug- gests a pouch; but where this is not desired the material may be drawn smooth, so that the small flaring revers will just meet the band. Iuthe original design these began above this point, as may be seen in the illustration. The collar is a dainty development of the sailor-shaped neck garniture. The revel-s and collars are edged with bands of the ootted naterial outlined with braid. This jacklt may be worn with blouse. Or-chemisette, as may be preferred. The front meets just below where the col: lar points converge, and a fancy tie. of ' u hich a pattern is included with the costume, is .tied in a sailor-knot at this point. This tie does not pass around the neck of the bodice, but is attached just under the points of the cellar. It i may be trade of taffeta, mousselinm or ; of bright Persian silk, The sleeve is large enough to admit of wearing a thin under-blouse sleeve if desired. They are box-pleated at the shoulder, and finished at the wrist with deep turned-back cuffs edged with Cotton braid. The design is one which would be effective if treated in blue. flannel for yachting purposes, or in such light- weight black or colored material as Henrietta cloth or cashmere. This costume will require 121} yards of pique or jeans to make it as repre- sented in the illustration. “Nu LUNG Walls.
