Without doubt the equal and per haps tho superior of any medical prliigs In this or any other country. You may say this Is exaggeration. It U not however but tho plali truth, as many people testify.

As to what they will cure fi. H. Pratt, M. D., L. L.

NkV YoitK, April 11. Tills Is colnc-to bo n elite niul volvct letter, for I hnvo ex hausted nil tlio noveltlc.i In other fabrics, nnd I really cannot undortiiko nnotlicr dissertation on bonnets, nt least until my GMI'ItKSS KVKN1NO ClOWN. oyca recover from tho dnzzlo of so many brilliant "confections." Tlicio was n tlmo when n bonnet wns simply n bonnet, nnd a lint n lint, but that tlmo has gone to keep steady compnny with tho duys whon I was n girl. Tlioy nro now confections nnd creations. Tho bon not Is tisunlly tho confection becauso It ts too sweet for nnytlilng, nnd tho hat tho creation, becauso nothing over did or could grow liko it. Dut I started out to talk silks, nnd I am going to do It. It Is certainly not over twelvo years ago that It was not posslhh) to find American silks In moro than ono weave, nnd thnt was tho plain silk in colors or black. It is truo thnt thoy wero practically itulcstructlblo nnd nover acquit ed that very unpleasant glosa that so quickly appears upon even tho best quality of French goods nnd makes n now gown look shiny anil even greasy. This comes from tho fact that French silks nto weighted with glucose, which has tho proporty of taking on a waxy polish with very llttlo wear. Eng lish silks nnd American silks nro pure, and no matter how long they nro worn thoy nover becomo shiny. Thnt fact known, no lady ought to purchaso n i-rcncu biiis ir niio can get nn American ono, for, though tho English is good, patriotic bcntlmcnt ought to count for something; besides, tho American goods nro cheaper. In my wanderings after tho "nowest" I went into nn enormous warehouse nnd found, among thoso manufactured by Americans, thousands of rolls of silks, and I verily bellovo no two nliko, and 1 wish to show that, no matter what n lady's fancy may be, alio can get any thing sho wants in silk tnndo in this country. It is, theroforo, her duty to buy them, and no husband has n moral light to prevent his wifo from being patriotic nnd doing her duty any moro than bIio has to dlctnto whom ho shall voto for. Among theso beautiful goods nro all tho exquisite pongees and India silks with delicate ground in all shades, nnd flowers and foliage in tho most perfect tasto and designs, each design being carried through nino different ground colors. There nro also brocades in which tho ground is dark and tho figures Bmall BUMlTKU dOWNS OF WA8U BILK, and most exquisitely designed and col ored, and others with very largo pat terns consisting mostly of foliago in satin brocado, each having a peculiar metallic luster. Theso aro very rich and somowhat expensive Thoro aro other goods, crapo finish in mat whito, cream, palo pink and bluo with tiny figures and flowers in silk woven over tho surface This latter drapes as soft as crapo and b lovely for vests nnd drapery. Thero is also a full lino of watered silk and moire, of satin stripo silk, and others with dainty llttlo woven figures, others with stripes, ono of rich satin and tho other of in tricato brocadod patterns, plain falllo francalso in ovcry concclvablo color, and all of superb appearance; reps and gros grains, plaid surahs, striped surahs, plain surahs and a sort of silk between surah and satin, overwoven with bro caded figures. This last has a change able ground. Tho arinuro wcavo is a favorite this season and is mado tho foundation for many beautiful combinations, ono being a gray armuro with narrow stripes of moiro in gray, with another set of stripes of graded width in whito satin with black satin stripes between them. Another is of cream armuro with stripes of four sliadcs of gruy satin and a stripo mado up of tiny flowers in two shndes of yel low and two shades of dull green. 1Mb bons aro mudo to match all tho principal patterns. Thoro Is a superb quality which has a wide stripo of gray satin, alternated 11 wider ono of open work in 'O L I SSIrHr " Mflfl two similes darker. This In ulsfl matched in ribbon Thero is a full lino of this kind lu all tho nowest shaded which grow moro and moro beautiful with each sue-' ccedlng season. Black silk grenadines, brocaded nnd striped, are nlso seen, ns well as black arnim o, falllo, surah nnd rich dull sur face sills for mourning, ua well as a long list of black gros grains nnd glnco silks of overy prlco, though tho prlco of all but fancy grades of American silk is really ipinarkably cheap when their durability Is tnkon Into coil sideintlou. I havo n Cheny black silk thnt has boon In uso slnco 1870, nnd it has been turned and rcmado tw Ico nnd Is still presenta ble It has had hard wear and plenty of it. Thero nro somo lovely, dnlnty Bilks for summer wear which nro Indcbcrlbablo. They havo stripes of satin and chntigo nblo silk, laco work and brocado all to gether, nnd thero nro plain brocades for ovcnlng wear nnd bridnl costumes, nnd nmong the high novelties is n brocado dono in Persian palm leaf pattern In straggling figures over nn ovorshot ar muro ground, cream and moss green In hades. Ovorshot silk in nrmuro and plain weaves nro seen of vlolot and yel low, or vlolot and green, and it Is very beautiful, I noticed also a few pieces of tho mag nificent old fashioned, but over now, chorry silk lu very dollcntely tinted ground work, with largo flowers iu soft natural colors woven in. Tills is dono by having tho pattern printed on the warp of tho silk as it is stretched in tho loom, nnd tho woof Is woven nfterwnrd iu, which gives tho pattcru that soft nn4 Indistinct outllno and vnguoncss which nro its charm. It is only recently that this has been nehtoved in America, tho secret of Its pocullnr manufacture hav ing been Jealously guarded iu Franco. I guess wo can do things ns well as thoy. Besides theso varieties, and many moro that 1 cannot remember, nro somo nr tistio pongees nnd India silks for house hold dccoratlvo purposes. Theso nro usually in very dellcato tints, but I no ticed ono pattern of conventionalized flowers in greens shading into yellow. W STYLISH GOWNS. Thero mo also many varieties of wash surnh, which Is bound to becomo a fa vorlto material. Tho Btripes nro of ovcry perfectly fast color and nono others, and all in pleasing shades nnd combinations. Somo nro in lino and qutto largo checks also. They nro for young ladies for tennis nnd general summer ovcry day wear and for undergarments, both for ladles nnd children, nnd also for gentlemen's summer outing blouses, nnd blouses for boya for very warm weather. Tho goods is ono yard wide, and costs about a dollar a yard. Thoy will bo liko nil tho Cheny fabiics, strong nnd durablo ns well ns pretty. Thero aro other American silks, but tho Cheny silks hero, tho Burton English and Bonnet French are tho only ones worth buying for thoso who want something worth having. I havo chos.cn from many models somo very stylish gowns mado of silks and velvets only, ns representing tho manner of making them up, nnd tho styles aro nil models of quiet elegance Thero is a now material which Is likely to supplant all tho velveteens and tako tho placo of Lyons silk velvet, which it resembles very closely, being of very closo wouvo and short pile It comes twonty-four inches wido in nil tho most fashionable colors, and is called volon Una, Its luster and richness nro unsur passable, and tho colors run from puro mat whito up through cream, rcsada, tabao, rncino and all tho reds to seal brown and a mngnlflccnt black. Tlio serpent, nllo, tullo nnd dark bluo and plum shades nro beautiful. Tlio cost is from 75 cents to $1 per yard. It is usod for skirts to dresses, for bod Ices, panels, trimmings, full walking costumes nnd children's clothes. Tho dark green, bluo nnd black mako suits which boys cannot wear out. and tho goods mako very rich and handsomo nnd dressy robes for llttlo girls, as well ns cloaks for babies, and Is equally hand somo for grandma. VELOUTUJA AND DrtOCADED GOWNS. If I had my way nobody should wear anything Jess beautiful than silk and velvet, nnd after seeing bo many beauti ful ones as I havo this week I uin not to bo blamed; but whero In tho world do all tho worms livo that mako so much silk?
