The pet dogs this winter-that is, the smaller, short-hailed ones-will wear more elaborate collars and more gor- geous blankets than ever. The girls who affect an English indifference to wet weather and go out for their con- stitutional whether skies be fair or not, have provided blankets for their dogs, to be used when it rains, of fleece-lined waterproof cloth, like the quarter cloths worn by high-bred carriage horses, with heavy silver monograms of the owners upon them. A young woman in Philadelphia created sen- sation during the bad weather of the early part of October by appearing on the street followed by her favorite Skye terrier with little rubber boots neatly fitted to his paws. The dog didn't seem to be greatly pleased with this mark of her affection and solici- tude, and when a great St. Bernard went by and stared at his boots in amazement, the little Skye terrier looked as if he would die of mortifica- ton.

The seasons sensation at the Hotel
 del Monte in Monterey, Cal, is the
 pretty Senorita Ysabel Echeguren, the
 richest heiress in Mexico, who will in- herit one-third of her fathers fortune
 of $SO, 1000, ,0o0. The story of Monte Cristo finds verification in the life of Senor Echeguren, who revels in silver mines, and is known as the Vanderbilt of Mexico. The Senorita is a tall,
 willowv maiden of IT, with auburn hair and brilliant, fair complexion. She dresses in Worth gowns, and wears diamonds that would make Sind bad's seem like Rhine stones. The girls all envy her, and the young men all adore, but they have little opportunity to reveal their devotion, for according ,o the old Spanish custom she is in- variably accompanied by severe old duena whether she walks or rides or dips in the surf, and only the most for mal and ceremonious of attention may be bestowed upon her. Could any situation be more exasperating given a maiden with youth, beauty, and Q third

Caught A BallOOner.

ssI used to make balloon ascensions in connection with Warner's circus," said an old and retired aeronaut the other day, ''and one day went up from Pekin, Illinois. The balloon was new and light, and I got much longer ride than expected. I finally descended in a farmhouse yard about ten miles away, my anchor having caught in cherry tree. The farmer was an old fellow, about eighty years of age, and he sat reading on his door steps as came down. He removed his glasses, put them in their case, put the case in his pocket, and then came forward and carelessly observed:
 " sThat balloon?'
 "sYes. Help me pull it down.
 "'Are you a ballooner?
 "sYes. Pull hard.'"
 "We got the air ship down, and I wanted him to take me to town in his wagon. He had none, and l hired rig of neighbor, and was about to de- part when the old fellow stepped for ward with:
 "sI have little bill here, sir
 "sBill! What for?'
 Damage to cherry tree, 9 shillin's; skeering my poultry, 50 cents; skeer- ing my old woman, the same; services of myself, $1. Total, $2.25, which is mighty cheap considerin' the times.'
 "' But won't pay itv l protested.
 "' Oh, you won't? We'll, Pm Justice of the Peace, and I'll issue . warrant. My brother is constable, and he kin serve it. The old woman is out of her fit by this time, and she'll be witness, and I sort O reckon I'll fine you about $25 for disturbin' of tho peace and contempt of this courtv"
 And was made to realize that the best way out of it was to come down with the amount of his bill, and luck lily had it, and a quarter to spare."

Fall Strawberries in Oregon.

R. B. Duncan of Salem was feasting yesterday on strawberries that grew and ripened, unprotected, ill the open ,ir, says the Statesman. His vines are still in blossom, and he has few berries in all the stages, some green and others about matured. The ripe ones were delicious and are only an- other argument in favor of Oregon's climate. Just think of strawberries and Thanksgiving turkies ripening to- gether.-Portland Oregonian.

A very elegant, as well as exceed ingly comfortable garment is the new Paris redingote, which completely pro- tects the chest, covers the dress entirely and yet is light in weight. It is long plain garment, usually of brown or tan cloth, made with revers turning back from little below tue waist to display a fur vest, which is so closely fastened beneath the coat that the cold air can not penetrate it. A comparatively small skin of choice fur is used very effectively in this way, and the sensible novelty is stylish and genteel as well.
 The choice of color for new gown or bonnet, says the Illustrated News, is serious consideration this season, not so much from lack of fashionable hues as from confusing multiplicity of colors. Most of the old colors have been retained, but their assignment to the different de- partments of fashion is very much changed. Green, already in its deca- dence, is less ill request for dresses, especially in its lighter and brighter shades; but the green in the popular tartan plaids is positive and decided color, and emerald green with jet is a favorite combination with milliners. As foundation for brocades and a combination in figured tissues no colors are more used than resida and other dull greens. Old rose has been also relegated to much the same office, the new reds being very deep crimson, light claret, and other vinous shades of brownish red. The favorite grays are of the oxidized silver order, or have touch of mauve or green in them. The most decided partiality is for the deep reds and dark dull blue, heliotrope shades, and browns in their intinitesimal variety are all used.

FOR WOMEN FOLK.
News and Gossip from Far and
 Near for the Fair Sex.

Another novelty among Paris bon- nets is the Compton d'escompte, a small, elegant affair, with 2 tiara of jet in front, and showing all the hair be- hind. Perhaps the most unusual thing about it is its name, which is out of all lTnno-tson to the size of the bonnet. The origin is supposed to be that some said it was without fond, and this de- scription clung until it was recognized as 8 name.

French women seem to cling to gants de Suede, and a wonderful novelty has been brought out, viz, purse inserted in the palm of the hand. A semicir- cular incision is made i'll the palm to which is then attached metal rim ]; this opens, showing white kid lining forming complete white purse. A better purse could hardly be invented. This is certainly turning to clever account somewhat vulgar plan of carrying money in glove. These par ticular gloves are mousquetaires, eight button length, but fastened with a couple of buttons at the wrist. They have only just come out, and are great ly in demand. The leather cases for watches, hitherto attached to bracelets, are now adapted to hang at the side as chatelaines, not so safe as the wrist, but nicer looking. If you are so mind- ed, you may carry your money or your watch in the top of your stick or um- brella; indeed, ornaments are now turned to useful account and useful articles converted into ornaments.

Who is the popular woman of to-

Who is the popular woman of to- day.
 She is the one who wears well-tit- ting clothes and never minds telling the name of her dressmaker.
 She is the one who sees the possibll- ities of a bashful young man and cul- tivates him when everybody counts him bore.
 She is the one who may believe in Christian Science or mind cure, or a special way to remove freckles, or the Turkish bath, or in not wearing cor sets, but who doesn't give dissertations on these subjects and insist on convert ing you.
 She is the one who never makes you conscious of the amount of money she has or her lack of it.
 She is the one who, when you are a guest in her house, makes you feel that she has simply been waiting for this opportunity to be happy, and that you are the honored guest. She is the ono whose hair doesn't come down, or whose frock doesn't tear when she is some place where it is not easy to fix it.
 She is the one whose children art seen but not heard.
 She is the one who doesn't tell peo pie unpleasant things, and if she has { bad opinion of anybody sums it all b, saying, ssI do not like her," and give l no further explanations. | She is the one who knows that biz hats were intended for the street ant little bonnets for the theatre. She is the one who is loyal to hel friends, ignores her enemies, and love- | her husband and children. She is the best type of the American | woman.

Dy-the-by, among the other classes for the improvement of the feminine mind, is one to teach letter. r-wri,ing. With the telephone and the telegraph, the average young woman is very slip shod in the missivcs that represent her. Dates she has the utmost contempt for, regarding them as forbidden fruit. She has way of not putting the names of the people to whom she is writing, and when there arc two or three letters to be posted, it is never marvellous if she mixes her babies up. She doesn't realize that questions are asked because an answer is wished, and so she never refers to the letter received. Her spelling is not immaculate; woman who ought to know better spelled "price" 'prize" in a note the other day, and wasn't as clever as the old Duchess of Gordon, who used to say, "You know, my dear, when I don't know how to spell a word 1 always draw line under it, and if it is spell ed wrong it passes for a very good joke, and if it is spelled right it don't natter" It is to be hoped that the class for letter writing will accomplish what it desires.

The recent brilliant debut of Miss Wanamaker of Philadelphia, the daughter of the Postmaster General, is another proof of how the aristocracy of trade is rising to the level of all other aristocracies, such as birth or wealth. Miss Letter, the daughter of one of the great dry goods merchants of Chicago, has for several years been a leading belle of Washington, New York and Newport. Whether Miss Wanamaker will dispute the honors with her remains to be seen, but she has chance.

A very Frenchy little cape or mantle. called La Trinitaire, probably because made in three pieces, forms part of new serge or cashmere suits, and is made of the same material as the dress. The dress must be very plain to be really perfect, and braiding or trim ming may be used only on the sleeves and collar. The cape, which is simply a large hood reaching just below the waist and gathered up into a frill to form a high collar about the throat, has revers that turn up all round and are trimmed with a simple row of braiding or passementerie correspond ing with that used upon the dress. The hood meets at the throat, but folds back sharply toward the shoul- der, and two long wide ends start from the fastening, cover the chest, are slightly adjusted at the waist, and fall nearly to the hem of the dress, It is very chic and natty,. but only the delft fingers of French mantuamaker could presume to fashion it.
