FASHION NOTES.

The Langtry il the name of the newest

silk pocket books, hand-painted are
the newest.
Turtle-dovc color is one of the new
shades of grey.
Raw silk shawls with red borders are
used for carriage wear.
The newest lace-pin represents a pug
dog with eyes of diamonds.
Fashionable jackets this winter will be
made of the finest broadcloth trimmed
with sealskin.
A copper-colored satin dress and bro
cade tunic, with bonnet and parasol to
match, are heavily loaded with white
jet.

he raised in all conceivable ways, but
that draperics are to form simple and
elegant lines. Some dresses have many
plaits coming from below the waist and
gracefully fastened, and others have
straight ends falling down the back like
redingote.
Black lace dresses have full waists and
jet belts, which form perfect coats of mail
and so covered with jet work that not a
piece of the goods can be seen. These
belts have either large buckles in the
same style of jet work ,or are fastened on
one side by means of small hooks and
eyes. When belts are W | the tunique

but never basque with a seperate
skirt.
Black straw hats are trimmed with
white crcpon or embroidered muslin
scaris. Fine costly laces are TO be extern
sively used on bonnets, Capotcs are
covered with black gauze tightly drawn
over the frame, with rich black lace over
the gauze also sewed on plain. The brims
are bound with cordings of narrow vel

of lace. Winter ball dresses are also to
be trimmed with a profusion of lace.
A rather eccentric novelty is a jacket
with very short basque in Louis NIL.
style, with pufIcd chcmisctte taken
around the waist and left to fall below
the jocket. This is pretty model, but it
it difficult to have it properly made, as
the putting must have a certain fullness
and depth or the effect is lost. Sorsc
jackets are open and have vests with
double fsonts, both opening over a Mol

cloth jackets are trimmed with gilt braid.
They are worn like jerseys over fancy
and light-colored skirts.

A bright light in the home is 80 absc-

of its roads il can be estimated by the
light in its dwellings. Dimncss, degre-

parts Of this continent, in the heart of
the Blue Ridge he is as stationary as a

owns the land on which his neat little
whitewashed hut stands in its little patch
of corn and potatoes; nor does he aspire
to own it. lie generally has COW and
a few pigs, many hens, few turkeys,
lots ef dogs, and perfect cloud of merry
little children hovers about his home ;
and all are very happy-healthy, too. OF
course, they are ignorant, and must Pc

down in little dimple of the earth, I'M

negroes gathered and passed greater
part of the sweet September day swing
ing each other, laughing, chatting, sing

and Arcadian way. The old Virginia
gentleman assured me that they are good
at heart, fairly honest, reasonably in

"Had we no governor, them" he asked.
"Oh, ycs,' we said.
"And who was governor if the marquis

And we told him, Ben Rutler. He was

BOONR'S DEATH.
A Newspaper Obituary Published sixty
Years Ago.

Newspaper obituary Pubitshed Sixty
Years Ago.
Mr.. William +. Spottswood, of Peters
burg, Va, sends to the Louisville Couri
er-Journal a clipping taken from the
st. Louis Gazette of Oct. 81, 1920, an
nouncing the death ofCol. Daniel Boone.
II is as follows:
DIED]-At Charrcttc village, (Missou-
ri,) on the 26th September last, Col.
DANIEL BOONE, the first settler of
Kentucky, in the 9Otb year of his age.
He was native of Bucks county, Penn
sylvania; he left that State at is years
old and settled in North Carolina.
He was one of the few men of our
country whose enterprise led him TO
search into the wilderness for the best
tracts of land for man to inhabt.
As early as the year I775 he removed
with his family and settled on tho Ken
tucky river with the loss Of his eldest
son, killed by :he Indians) at a plain
now called Boonsborougb, then an Indi-
an country, where he remained until the
year l799; during this period of time,
although most of his life had been spent
in agricultural pursuits and he had been
frequently honored by his countrymen
rs member of the Virginia Legislature
and lived at the close of the Revolution
ary war, in peace and plenty, yet such
was his delight in hunting, such his de-
votedness to it, that in the year of 1893,
with humorous train Of followers. he
removed from Kentucky and settled
on the Femme Usage river about ffly-
six miles above its mouth, then Wild
erness.
The year afler he discovered the Boone
Lick country, which now forms one of
the best settlements of the state; in that
year he also visited the head waters Of
the Grand Usage river, and spent the
winter upon the head waters of the Riv-
or Arkansas. At the age Of So in rom-
pany with one white man, and n black
man, whom he had laid under strict in
junction to return him to his family
dead or alive, he made hunting trip to
the head waters Of the Great Usage,
where he was successful in the trapping
of beaver and in taking other game.
Col. Boone was man Of common
statue, of great enterprise, strong intel
lect, amiable disposition and inviolable
integrity. He died universally regretted
by all who knew him, and such is the
vencration for his name and character
that both houses of the General Assem-
bly, of this State, upon information Of
his death being communicated, resolved
to wear crape ON the left arm for twenty
days, as a token of regard and respect to
his memory.

Sabsou, addressing his wife, that We
have beea married twelve years to-day2"
at did not occur TO me-" she replied,
until you spoke, but | suppose it is true.
The time seems very long though, and
when look back it appears wonder
that have lived through it ALL"
"Why, my dear" rejoined Mr.. Sabson,
turning with an air of annoyance, "you
do not regret that we were married do
you?"
"In, no, FOR it is a woman's province
to get married and the 'ppncr tlc duty
IL performed, the sooner has she begun
the life for which she is designed
Il suppose then that love did not enter
very largely into tlIc arrangement
ut did at first"
But the woman always discovers her
mistake suppose2"
ayes, more or less"
81 am sorry to hear you speak ~. All
along have cherished the idea that you
married me out of regard"
"And have given me very little upon
which to base a hope that your mar
riage was acuated by the same high mo-
tive"
"Ob, now here. You are just trying
to pick a quarrel with me. What have
done?"
"Thats what | want to know. What
have you done?'
"Confound it, haven't | made you a
living"
"A sort of one, but haven't lived any
better since we we're married"
Haven't | helped You in all your
troubles"
"Not all"
Didn't get mp the ,thcr night and
hold n teaspoonful Of parcgoric over the
lamp chimney"
"Just once"
"Wcll, I'll declare. mans Kindness
is never appreciated. Give me spoon
and I'll hold IL over the lamp till it
melts."
'No use to talk that way. You know
you never think of me-"
Didn't bring you whole armfuI Of
goods last night, and didn't you go out
the other day and buy a whole cart-load
of stuff. Talk about not thinking of you,"
and the annoyed gentleman arose and
left the house. He was troubled rs he
walked along the street. and when he
turned towards home he felt heavy and
cheerless. "If ! could only take her
something he unused. There was a
time when her eyes frightened at my
approach. | did not have to take her
anything then. ri reproduce one of
those early visits if can"
He plucked rose that hung over
fence. A very common rose, but he car
ried it tenderly.
When ne entered the room, his wife
sat rocking one of the children. He
spoke softly and she looked up. lie
handed her the rose and the light, once
so charming, came hack into her eyes.
she put the child o the bed and blush
ingly approached her husband.
You do think Of me. don't you?" she
said.
- always think of you"
Let me put the flowers in vase
The yard was full of beautiful flowers,
and she could have gathered basketfAl
but in all the grand floral array thers
was not one so full of sentiment as this
common rose that grew in wild place
and hung over the fence. II is the little
remembrance that a woman prizes and
a true wcman's sou! is not made of love
for fine dresses and gorgeous display.
