In the course of dinner at the country

the Spanish, to whose court he once was
minister. For valor, intellectual ability

he said enthusiastically, the Spaniards rank
with the best people on the top of the earth.
Apropos of the honesty of thu common
people he told this anecdote: When he Left
Madrid aud went 10 London he brought
with him q man-servalt who bad attended
him for some years AiterwaId the servant
gave Me- Lowell q sum Of money, with the
reuues! that it he forwarded to his brother

offered receipt, but tie servant seemed
to be psined by the proceeding Ond to con-
elder the tender of the parer reproach
"Why," said he, drssiug himself no VI

abseucs Of the paper to cheat you, Senior. "
BAT you do not understand" said the
Ex.mipister. "Tbir is simply business
affair. The paper will protect your inter
eats.
No; my interests are protected"
But your brother, then. he would like
to see the money accounted for"
my brother is an houest man too.
We'll, thee, would like you to take
the receipt for my own cs:isfaction."

FASHIONS FOR Fab ONES

.
Moro New Fabrics for Autumn and Via
ter Than Cuts and trimmings.
There are more new fabrics for autumn
and winter fashions thus far than there Is
change in the cut and trimming Of dresses.
MANY of the Partisan houses have made
efforts to bring out novelties. but nothing
particularly new has yet been displayed.
An imitation Of Astrskhan fur is plentiful.
1t comes in various dark shades. is soft and
light, but the curly raised texture is not so
deep as in for. 1t makes comfortable au-
tumn and winter dresses. Moss and bronze
colors are already seen in rich fabrics and
numerous combinations of brown and gray
are also shown.
Some dark plaid fabrics have been
brought out with checks that can scarcely
be seen. They are very suitable for travel
ing dresses. The rule for making these is
to reserve the fancy goods for the over
dress, which may be pleated and open on
the si6e over a plain velvet skirt. 1t is
fastened where it opens in seVeral folds
under large buttons. The small velvet
Jacket matching the underskirt has pias-
iron and reverse Of plain goods. The waist
NAV also be of velvet snd.button straight
down the centre. In this case the collar
aud cuffs are Of plaid goods. A gray felt
hat to.match this suit is trimmed with velvet
in the color of The skirt.
Many of the new winter fabrics are more
beautiful than ever for walking and house
wear and chow delightful graduation from
the grave to the gay and q variety too nu-
merous TO mention. A choice few are
Queen Anne serges, Roman stripe fr;eze,
boucle checks ard figures, locped yarI'
cloth, tinsel underwear, ehenille-worked
tsiils, header mixtures. elk and wool hit
or miss" wool chenille embroidery, velvet
stripes on wool, trico:s and flannel cloths.
