Fashions, Fads and Fancies % the
Early Autumn Days.
NEW YORK, Sept There is
paragraph which is still going
the rounds of the press which appeared
originally in these columns on the evolution
in shape Of women's shoulders from the
extreme slope of the young beauties of the
court of Queen Anne to the
square the very square model
of which the Princess of Wales and Mrs.
L4ngtry are exemplars and which is the
present ideal Since that item first saw
daylight, dame fashion catching at the
suggestion of a possible change, has been
playing tentatively with the notion of a
reaction, and has half made up her mind to
decree this autumn the abolition of spanlets
and of sleeves gathered full or pulled high
on the shoulders, leaving the way open, if
womanklnd takes pleasantly to the notion
for return by degrees to the droop of our
great grandmothers' day. There are OBJ
vluus reasons why a REVIVAL OF sIoping
shoulders would tie possible caprice lust
now. Women let their arms hang pendent,
depressed their shoulders and held their
heads high on swan-like necks for well nigh
200 years. Girls were Sht to co. slider
sloping shoulders elegant, to hold them
so was perpetuated race of
women the line of whose arms seemed but
continuation of the line of the neck and
shoulders. The Princess of Wales. John
Tenniel, of Punch, and Du Maurier inaugu-
rated the change. The Princess of Wales
has high Muscovite shoulders. Other
women hoisted theirs at once in imitation.
Tenniel went in for the antique and found
square shoulders on the classic torsos; Du
Maurier absorbed himself in the SQUARE
shouldered medieval danes of knight
errantry, and the sketches Of the two ar
lists lent a powerful aid to fashion. Mrs
Langtry helped along the craze on this side
OF the water. The training of women in
athletics counted, among other things
Nov, then, behold. The Princess of Wales
is getting elderly. Mrs. Lsngtry is no

in wells and in hairdresSing we rushed to

Venetian dresses are dominant and the
models from which they are taken were
made for women with sloping shoulders.
Dame Fashion has an itch that way and
the time is very possibly ripe for change
There have been fashions on fashions in

as far as we are likely to 60, would be as
aesthetically desirable as the present high

The Throat Telephone.

2 The Lowth stittic-telephone halls from
Chicago, and is combined transmitter
and receiver. A hollow extension about
four inches long is attached to the re-
ceiver, from the end of which a small
button protruded slightly. This button
is placed against the throat near the
vocal cords, and the receiver is held
against the ear in the usual manner.
When the operator speaks the vibra-
tions of the throat are transmitted, with,
it is said, distinct clearness. The in
strument is operated by the muscular
vibrations that accompany the utterance
of words.
The inventor, James Lowth, is said
to have been experimenting aud work
ing on this instrument for over ten
years. When he first applied for pat
tent, three years ago, the authorities at
Washington thought him crank and
refused to Issue one. He attached the
instrument to wires in the office and
asked over it. "What do you think
nowl" Back over the wire came, II
give in, it works perfectly"
The Electrical Rcrie,r, says it has been
successfully operated between Chicago
and milwaukee,, aud in Pittsburg it
worked over line seventy-fiye miles IN
length, ON which were twenty five Bell
instruments.

How window smasllers Work.

Breaking store windows for the pur-
pose of robbery has been reduced to a
system of which few people are aware.
1t is bold piece of work. and requires
a man of nerve. The old method was
to smear molasses or wax on the window
pane, cover it with paper anil force in
the glass The sticking material pre-
vented the pieces from falling and
making a noise. The large plate glass
windows now in use necessitate another
mode of breaking. The sharp end of n
three cornered file is inserted between
the woodwork and the lower end of the
pane, and quick turn of the file splits
the glass. The broken piece is quickly
pried out without much noise. Some
window smashers carry an iron plate
having handle like shield on one side
and sharp, projecting iron rod on the
other This is pushed against the win
dow, breaks in the glass, and leaves an
opening large enough to secure good
grip at the contents exposed for show
