The glorletf of the v Inter of ISO ? and the graudeuis of 1SD8 promise to be absolutely outrrvalod by the true magnificence of the season Just clos ing. Silks nnd furs ore the dominant topics of Interest In clothcsland this week , for hitherto nobody could speak with any niithorlty whatsoever on the long or short- bnircd skins. It really Is not uutll the cold winds strike In , and the women begin to put their new furs to' practical uses , that 0110 ran tell what is Binart uud what is dowdy. A decidedly nose reddening breeze whipped out of the north a few days ago end then the fun lu furs began.

That js to say , with a brown Zlhllcne coat \voulii be adopted a full stock of damson red satin or velvet , having overlapping points of rich Husslan fable. Another , n smoke gray coat , ' was topped elf by a stock of cornflower blue velvet and the largo points were of chinchilla. These- points fall well down oil the shoul der and really cover the sides of the col lar , and many of such neck tlxlngs bavo two wedge-shaped cnda of fur , one long and one ; short , that fall out on the chest about e-lx or eight luchcs. A collarotto that an swers to the above outlines nnd a good- A WINTER T13A GOWN. sized muff Is considered effective and per fectly sufficient for trimming , though there is no reason to assert that small capes , shoulder pieces \ylth stole fronts , or in fact any of the good orthodox cuts of fur have lost one whit of their popularity. 1 Smart but Chilly. All the no\v capes , of course , are shawl , shaped , their sloped fronts treated verj often with a graduated arrangement of tails but for warmth these new garments are t pnaro and a delusion. They BCOUI fairly tc invite and hold every 1cy blast. The niosi commendable of the cape family are those rather graceful llttlo fellows of cloth thai only drop to the elbow and have rovers ani n high collar faced with fur. Some of these capes are cut from vorj Rally colored cloth , In warm reds and blue : nnd are satln-qulltcd inside , which add' many degrees to their warmth. With al these wraps exceedingly high collars an worn without exception , and among tin email things In fur arc long scarfs of mink marten and otter , Russia and Alaska sabli that pass about the Inside of a high colla : nt Its base and tie In a double bow kno in front. Such a scarf keeps the collar clos obout the ears and gives comfort to thi wearer's neck and they , more than anythlni else , have delayed the reincarnation of thi long boa. Melon MufTii. Over In Russia the fair empress has give : the ukase on muffs , for it is said that th only fad of that gentle , melancholy woma : is for furs. Just now she prefers a melon chaped muff with street dreuses and good big fellow , at that. 1'he muff is mad of ten pieces of fur , eo braced that the puff up at their broadest point , leavlu ( the center of the hand warmer some twenty flvo inches in circumference , while th orifices at either end nro very small.

For a good , serviceable , ilmplo and tast < ful muff there is nothing better than a b ! fellow oj densely brown or gray cub wo fur , while Persian lamb , mink and Alasl eablo in rcttculo or melon shape are to 1 as extensively used as ever. A very pretty and novel fur trimmed mu is made In the double rctlculo shape i cloth , with the fur applied ln any way di elrcd.

Women to whom money Is no object arc undoubtedly lending themselves to the asclnatlons of the very long fur coat that mttona up double-breaslodly in front and ias long , solemn cutaway tails , but she vho Is wise as well as a lover ot beaut ] will scarcely Invest any capital In the now urtouU , as they are called , for their days of popularity will bo exceedingly short. K s very easy , however , to have to a last year's fur coat small , pretty hip , long cut away tails adjusted , and a lace jabot or a ompleto new front , of bright brocaded satin nd lace Idld on over the bust. There really Is ' nothing that has not been told over and over again to tell now bout the application of fur as a dress trim ming. Hands and bindings of mink ot iroadtall crop out , In accepted style , on landsotne cloth nnd velvet costumes , though n Paris they do cut from broadtail some cry lovely conventionalized patterns ol rult and flowers nnd applique them on velvet.

MurHh'K Stonr. It was a few days after the great Santiago fight , about July 10 , that my sister and I heard ono morning that the steamer Breakwater - water was in , nnd the sick nnd wounded were being taken to the camp hospital. Wo had already offered our services to the surgeon In charge , but had been told that his orders from Washington prevented his having any women nurses In camp. So this morning we wasted aio time In for mal applications , but went round to the A FRENCH LOUNGING , TOILET. having sable points and cravat ends. A charming coronet hat is the finishing touch. Another model shows the treatment of a small black velvet capo with mink tails and , the muff that accompanies the capo Is a melon-shaped comforter of alternating dark and lighter stripes of mink. A reticule muff In two compartments ap pears with the third figure , which Illustrates the uses of the bow boa , while the fourth fashion pinto displays a coat of broad tall , or Astrakan , or Persian Iamb , trimmed and recut in harmony with the new laws. How the rich chined and embossed silks' 1 and satins are made up in reception and 'tea ; gowns la elucidated in the two single cuts ' of figures. The larger model Is that of a costume wrought out from kilted crepe llsso and moire decorated In floral patterns. The > llsso. front ot skirt and body is white , made over pale yellow silk. The moire train nn < l ' body are white , hlso elaborated lu corn . flower and clematis pattern , while the i shaped ruffles down the front of the skirt > and the little Romeo cape and cross pieces ' are of cornflower blue satin. 1 Tea gown number two Is a rosy lavender > satin bearing closely embossed velvet figures i in a rich violet shade. Where the folded ' oversklrt opens at the foot a glimpse is : given of rose-colored tulle sprinkled with big . purple silk balls. Tulle to match falls in a I full front over the waist line , nnd appears 1 again on the sleeves. A high collar ot laven. i der satin wrinkles close about the throar i and Is crossed by a necklace ot big black left'of'the camp where guards were few , 'Tlicro ' wo found a 'yoimrvolunteer1 ; doctor , ; with' moro cleverness than respect for au thorities , and ho took us Into Iho camp ami set us to work. For the next ton days we were the ouly women nurses In the camp , and as all the men felt more comfortable when there was a woman about , wo did what wo could for the whole GOO. It was during these first days of rushing around that we found ourselves nicknamed "The sunshine of the camp. " Some of il\o Michigan volunteers were gallant enough lo originate that tjtlc. Going ono day to look for one of the men nurses who was not nt his post , I found that ho had developed a mild form of insanity , cud was to bo sent to the asylum. I wont to set ) if I could do anything for him. Ho lumped to his feet when ho saw me , saluted tad said : "Llko two ungels of light ye de scended upon us. Goodby , goodby ! I'm goIng - Ing homo to ride my new white bicycle wjyi my monogram painted on It. " I concluded ho was at least happy , and left him to the t'so hospital stewards who had him In charge. Scattered through all the tents were a few of the colored troops , and wherever I found ono I found gentleness and good humor and natlenco ; and all the men agreed to the ver dict ot an old Irish sergeant when ho said : "An thlm coons kin fight ! There's lots of us wouldn't be hero now If 'twasn't for thlm. " Ono of my men told mo that as bo lay wounded in the trenches another man calnc to him BO covered with blood that he could not tell whether he was black or while , nmi asked htm if ho coufdn't do romethlng to help him. "No , man , " 'replied my patlbnt , "you'd better go and have something done for yourself. " The other man wiped the blood from his face and said : "Now , look , and tell mo what's Iho matter with me , " and ho told him ho had been almost scalped by a plcco of shell. " 0 , well , " was the woundeJ man's answer. "If that's all , I'll go see II icme of the other men don't need help , " and oft ho went , stopping nt the wounded nnd the dead , and finally finding down the line n uoundcd man who consented to bo carried back to the doctor , whereupon ho promptly took him on his blood-atulned shoulders and carried htm to the hospital , In ono of my own wards I had n little colored private , very black , with popped eyes that blinked continually , and an Indescrib able accent , whoso one prayer was "Le'mc git back to my company. Please , miss , gll me well an' son' me back. " Ono day I askeSl him , "Peters , why d < you want 'to go back. Aren't jou comfortable - fortablo hero ? " "Vea , miss , " ho answered , "but please miss , Ic'nio go back. 1 wan * kill some mori them Spauyuts ? " "But why , Peters , don't you think you'vi killed enough ? " I Insisted. "No , miss , no miss , dey done kilt mj cnptun , and den wo cotch dc man wha dona It , an' when I see ' 1m I start to Mm , an' I eay , 'Now I'so got you , nov I'EO gwlno servo jou llko you scno mj cnptun. ' An' my lieutenant ho grab mo bj er shoulder an' ho say , 'You , Peters , yoi git back whar you belongs , don' you novel let mo even hear you talk bout klllln' : prisoner ; ' but 1 say , 'You Just le'mo git holi my carbecn , an' see whether I kill 'Im ci not. Yes , miss , I sutcnly Is got to kll oomo more Spanyuts. " After 'things ' become more systematize and moro women nurses were employed I only had two \varde , about sixty men , mosi of them regulais , who had "soldiered" foi years , and thought the climate ot Cuba nose so bad after that of Nebraska. Ono day an old cavalry corporal asked to what regi ment the men In a neighboring tent be longed. I told him they were all member ! of a well known volunteer regiment. "Ah sure then , " he icplled "tho poor buoys need rale good nilrsln' , for raany's the time down to Santiago I've seen , "cm como tc mornln * sick call , suffering wld sunstroke which Is dangerous when you contract li at night ; an' thlm that didn't have sun stroke had cold feet ! " A sergeant of infantry in ono of mj wards was a great joy to visitors whc wanted to hear ot hairbreadth escapes , foi he had been graced by a mauscr bullel across his whole body , beginning at his loft arm and going all across his chest to his right arm. His real wound was a bad one In the thigh , but ho valued above every thing the flannel shirt ho wore at Santiago With Its'eight holes , all made by the same bullet. It was In the Hist part of August that a nrw man , an Illinois volunteer , was brought Into my ward from Porto Rico with fever. 'He ' was not very 111 and as I put him to bed and made him comfortable , 1 said : "How do you think you caught this fe\er ? I thought Porto Rico was a healthy place ! " Ho was nothing but a boy , and he burst out crying , as Jio bald : "I don't know anything about Porto 'Rico ' , miss. I never landed. 1 got sick on the transport , and they sent mo right back here ; and all the other fellows Is there now. " HP was In the "blues" for several days , till hla mother carao to Icok after him , and I thlnK her content at having him safe and not with 'thi' other fellows" rconcll.-l hi n , for ho went on furlough in a week or two looking happy. The very best of the men nurses were two Armenians. One had been the son of a minister ot the Armenian church , and had Been hla father , mother and sisters killed by the Turks. He told of it one day , very quietly , but with a look In his eyes which mada me thing that stray and unprotected Tutks had best avoid him. Both of the Ar menians were wonderfully clean , endlessly patient and as gentle as women. The men grew very fond of them , and called them "John" quite regardless of their Intricate names , which sounded just as they looked , written In Armenian characters. Only a day or two before I left the hos pital I went Into the diet kitchen and found the chef dancing- with rage and almost speechless. He ran toward me as I came In , and when I could understand anything ho said I found he was begging me. "Splk for me ! Splk for mo ! Tell the dootalre ! " I said I would speak to anyone ho pleased if ho would only tell mo what he wanted , and then he waved his hand solemnly to ward the stove and Bald : "Look ! lieholdf Hero are ten gallons of milk I hat put to sterilize , and they hat curdl curdle ! " O , but ho was a Jewel , that cook ! He had been chef at the Whlto House for years , and then at governmsnt house In Jamaica ; and the "light diets" he used to send down Into the wards were a treat to see. I shall never forget his milk toast. It would have been a dainty dish to set before the king. When the war broke out this chef wanted to do something for the soldiers , and so volunteered to oue of the relief associations , which sent him to our hospital. They paid him about what his board coat , so ho prac tically gave his cervices , and that meant a great deal. Finally , about the end of August , my sister and I said goodby to our men and FURS AND HI71 COLLARS I t I- II I n , i h i- ii i ONE TRIAL BOTTLE THIS OFFER ALMOST SURPASSES BELIEF , internal Tonic Applied to tlie Skin Beautifies It As by Magic. - OF t . A WOMAN WAS THE INVENTOR. Thousands have tried from tlmo Immem orial to discover come efficacious remedy Cor wrinkles and other imperfections of the complexion , but none bad ytt suc ceeded until the Misses Bell , the now famous ' ous Complexion Specialists , ot "S Fifth avenue , New York City , offered the pub- tic their wonderful Complexion Tonic. The reason so many failed to make this dtsco\ery before is plain , because they have not followed the right principle. Balms , Creams , Lotions , etc. , never have a tonic- effect upon the skin , hence the ( allures. The Mlss.es Bell's Complexion Tonic has a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle , absorbing nnd carrying off all Impurities which tup blood by its natural action Is constantly forcing to the surface ot the skin. It Is to the skin what a vitalizing Conic Is to the blood and ucryes , a kind of uow life that immediately exhilarates and strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic effect is felt almost Immediately , and It speedily banishes forever from the skin , freckles , pimples , blackheads , moth patches , wrinkles , liver spots , roughness , olllncss , eiur-tiona and dlscoloratlons of any kind. In older that all may bo benefited by their Great Discovery , the Misses Bull will , during the present month , give to all cull- left the camp , which was by that tlmo pro vided with plenty of contract nurses , who are paid $30 a month and their board.
