KING LEOPOLD.
An Able and Active Man and Decided
Iy Able Statesman.

Iy Able Statesman.
King Leopold H., King of the Bel
gians, is an able and active man, though
not an emiently popular one. For some
reason, not easily explained, he has just
missed the general favor and this in
spite of the fact that he is one of the
men who know how to say the right
thing at the right time, and who never
forget face they have once seen.
One day his Majesty was on the pier
at Ostend, walking quietly about among
his subjects like simple citizen. He
saw Brussels burgher, and accosted
him.
"Eh 6etn, and how are your orchids?"
"My orchids, sir?"
"Yes. those you exhibited two years
ago."
The flower amateur had himself for
gotten that past hobby, others having
meanwhile engaged his attention; but
the King never forgets.
This King possesses the precious art
of finding the proper point of view from
"hlou w roBaru ali oldSSeS VI uen' WIS.,
iting large mandatory in company
with the Shah of Persia, he approached
group of workmen, and said, shaking
them by the hands:
"Never forget, my dear fellows, that
we must all work. We are all workmen
in our respective spheres"
His habits are simple, his activity
great, and his ability as statesman un-
questioned. AS it has often been de-
clared, if he had been bornin the burgher
class, he would greatly have distinguish
ed himself. According to his actual
destiny, he is merely one OF many Kings,
and not one Of the most popular -

What Stylish Women Will Wear in III
First Days of Autumn.

What Stylish Women will Wear in the
First Days of Autumn.
Gray undressed-kid ties, with gray
Suede gloves and silk stockings of SINH
lar tint, accompany great variety Of
rich summer costumes.
Beautiful toilets of white silk, striped
with rose or silver, are made with full
skirts, full blouse vests of lace, and open
Louis XI. bodices, with large lace col
lars and frills at the edge of the open
sleeves.
The Lady Stanley shoe is perfection
In its shape and elegant in style. 1t is
of black dressed kid, of the finest, most
glove-like flexihility. 1t is lined with
pale corn-yellow satin, cut open on the
arched instep, and laced with plain
black ribbon with tiny satin edge.
Very fine qualities of faced" cloth in
shades of fawn, dragon-green, hello
trope, biscuit color, doe color and fish
ermen's blue will be used for stylish
coats for autumn. A few of the special"
models, as they are termed, are much
longer than the familiar tailor Jacket.
but an opposite extreme is reached in
the vests, which look like braided bibs,
and are short to absurdity.
Toby ruffles, Josephine fraises, Medici
collarettes, and mousquetaire collars are
the rage, also capes and antique ruffs,
modified replicas Of the huge Eliza
bethan ruffs certainly, but still ruffs,
these latter decorations, however, ap-
pearing only upon grand summer fete
toilets of most expensive and elaborate
character. Much narrower ruffs of lace
are everywhere worn, finding great
favor among the hot-weather gowns
where the collar is dispensed with en-
tirely,
The all-round ruff, however, is not
universally becoming. Sloping shoul-
ders, slender throats, surmounted by
well-shaped heads, and features of a
certain cast combine to make the ruff a
becoming article of dress. Women who
do not possess these personal character
istics do we'll to avoid fashion that
tends to make short neck look still
shorter, besides producing the effect Of
unnsturally high shoulders.
Fine lace-straw passementeries are
used on Paris-made toilets of black net,
lace, and lace-striped grenadine, in the
guise of girdles, sleeve and collar points.
Pretty jaunting costumes are made OF
white and blue plaided camel's hair or
French cashmere, made everywhere bias
of the goods. The bodice is in close
cuirass fashion, with Highland scarf
folded from the right shoulder to the
left hip. The scarf ends are long enough
to do duty as light shoulder wrap in
case of blow on the water or a fall in
the temperature on the cars. Some of
the new plain wool fabrics have rich
Roman borders, others finely colored
palms on black or green ground, and
still others have odd Tartan borders, in
which the Campbell plaids and colors
are prominent-N Y. Post

If vhas to lif my life oafer again I
