There were days when letters came from
my party of friends, enjoying the summer
trip, which filled me with hateful dis
content. Hot days, when the sparkling
waves of the st. Lawrence dashed before
my eyes; when the Thousand Isles rose
out of the mist of my vision, like the
Isles of the Blest; days when the velvet
lawns, the exquisite flowers, the spreading
beech, and the festive throng of Newport,
Knocked me in the distance, and, above
all, the sunny SUBMITS of the White

Coming Styles.

OF autumn modes il is hardly time to
speak definitely, only one thing being as
sured. The promise Of plainness, made
in the early summer, will be strictly kept.
Superabundant flounces and furbclows
viii take an unlimited leave Of winter
wardrobes, and artistic simplicity reign
in their stead. How our weary and over
dressed women have sighed for this
change, theY only are aware; and that they
will hail u G new order with delight is un-
doubted. 1t is limited that the prospective
styles wi require not more than half the
quantity Of the past; but this is dream
that seems impossible OF realization.
1t is not improbable that the newly
modelled garments may have skinny"
appearance, but familiarity will soon ar.
range that, and once accustomed TO it,
weary eyes will be thankful they are no
longer compelled TO wander over vast
fields Of fittings and hedgerows Of head
ings.
Plainness Of fabric, no less than Of
fashion, is to be the rule. New goods,
different from any yet produced, will
soon be shown, and new cOlOrs, or rather
new shades, are imminent. The tints and
double-distilled shades of last year were
so unbecOming to Americans that the dry
goods houses are importing only novel
hues, which it is expected will satisfy the
most exacting.-"Home and Society,"" Serb

in the work Of production, should be dis
tributed with so much accuracy and hon.
esty, and, on the whole, with so much
wise adjustment to the value of each
mans contributions to civilization.
There is one fact, however, which
throws around credit, as around so many
others of the influences by which
our lives are shaped, frightful
mystery Its very strength helps to work
ruin. The more we believe in our fellow
toilers, and the more they do to warrant
our belief, the more we encourage them
to work, the more we excite their hope
fulness; and out of this hopefulness come
"panics" and crashes" Prosperity breeds
credit, and credit stimulates enterprise,
and enterprise embarks in labor which,
about ten years in England, and every
twenty years in this country, it is found
that the world is not ready to pay for.
Panics have occurred in England in 1897,
1907, 1917, 1926, 1887, 1S47, 1857, and there
was near being a very severe one in 1866.
In this country we have had them in 1915,
1885 and 1857, and by panics we do not
mean such local whirlwinds as have
desolated Wall street, but widespread
commercial crises, affecting all branches
of business. This periodicity is ascribed,
and with much plausibility, to the fact
that, inasmuch as panics are the result of
certain mental conditions, they recur as
soon as the experience ofthe previous one
has lost its influence, or, in other words,
as often as a new generation comes into
the management of affairs, which is about
every ten years in the commercial world,
both in England and here. The fact that
this country seems to be only half as
liable to them as England, is perhaps due
to the fact that the extent of our resources
and the greater ratio of increase of popu-
lation make it much harder to overdo in
the work of production here than in En-
gland, and to this must be added the
greater strength of nerves produced by
greater hopefulness. In spite of the
enormous abundance of British capital,
and the rashness of the owners in making
investments there hangs over the London
money market timidity and doubtful
ness about the future which is unknown
on this side of the water, and which very
slight accidents develop into distrust and
terror If this theory be correct, our next
great panic will be due about the year
1877, Immediately after the Centennial
Exposition. Let us hope, however, that
the present slight attack may inspire
enough prudence and good sense to ward
it oH.-Neio York Nation.
