SAVANNAH, TENNESSEE, THURSDAY OCTOBER 49, IS

the sunlight with the very effect he
wanted; they looked like wheels of
gold for the nonce, though colored only
With the coarse yellow used by coach
painters. Whence the illusion? Del
aroche caught the idea in moment,
dismissed the facre and returned to
his studio to work out successfully the
effect which for days he had been vain4
ly striving to attain. The yellow OF
the fiacre wheels was picked out with a
bright purple, by contrast with which
the bright but coarse yellow seemed
to shine with golden CLEAN. This
was the whole secret which Delaroche
would have learned from the paintings
of the old masters.
False effects in regard to contour
are also common and strangely
enough deceive the observant more
readily than the unobservant. Look
at medal under ordinary conditions
and the eye at once recognizes the
elevations and depressions for what
they are, but look at the same medal
through a lens which reverses it's
different parts, and because the
shadows really thrown from whatever
source of light Eliminates the medal
seem thrown towards that light, i'm
mediately the elevations appear as
depressions and the depressions as
elevations. This is the case at least
with the observant; but the unob-
servant who have never, consciously
or unconsciously, noted the relation
between the position Of the light and the
direction of the shadows, are not de-
ceived. Knowing what the medal is,
they see it as il is.

EARLY WINTER STYLES.
The Bustle Is Retained But Is Greatl
Modified as to Style.

DuSile 10 htLdlntu Dub Is UTtdtty
Modified as to Style.
The differences in the shapes OF
bodices and arrangements of skirt
draperies that appear from season to
season are very slight, and it is hard
to know where the old leaves off and
the novelty begins. That changes do
occur is undoubted, and it is an actual
fact that dressmakers prefer 10 60
back a few months, or year even,
than repeat style in consecutive sea-
sons.
The most important item of news in
connection with fall and winter cos
tunes is that the hustle is still to be
seen, albeit in a decidedly modified
form. Many women who have elung
with pertinacity to the "dress-im-
proven" thoroughly persuaded that it
fully merited its name, have given in
at last, and promise now to be con-
tent with the smallest amount of
cushion and forswear steels in every
form. Simultaneous with the attempt
to do away with the tournure arose the
effort to restore the empire dress. The
connection between the two is logical
enough. for nothing could be moro in
compatible than an empire dress and
tournure. Imagine them together! A
feature of the empire styles which has
been adopted is the round skirt, fiat at
least on the front and hips. Double
draped skirts have the fullness pretty
evenly distributed all the way around,
except the front breadth of the UNDER
skirt, which is left plain.
The woolens with wide bands of a
contrasting color that are pinked out
in vandycks and festoons may be very
effectively made up in the following
manner:
The foundation skirt having been
trimmed with deep-plaited flounce
made of half the width of the mate
rial, straight piece of stuff at least
five yards long is prepared for the
tunic. This is mounted in a double
plait to the right hip, caught up so as
to show a portion of the fiounce, run
ming then in narrow fiat folds to the
center of the back, where whole yard
is allowed to form deep hanging
plait, and then again in fiat folds with
a second box-plait on the left hip. The
remainder, being plated, reaches the
center of the front, after which the
end of the strip, plated up in its turn
to the waist, crosses over the end with
which the operation was begun, and
thus closes the circle.
| Draped skirts are often combined
with round-waisted bodices worn with
belts fastened by buckle. Some of
the latest jerseys are made so, and
have no basques, or none that are APP
parent. These are for everyday
dresses. Round bodices of smarter
kind have Wristbands, which may be a
stripe, piece of embroidery, some
kind of galloon, or passementerie, or
merely straight folds of the material.
Many gowns will have silk skirt of
their own color, full and softly plated.

H. G. Bunner, editor of Pucb, is
said to command higher price from

either.
Julian Hawthorne has said himself

black blasting powder, Three DAYS were
required for he work, which under the
