For less ceremOniouS wear was brown
cloth suit made with e-quarter length
coat, cut in close-fitting shape, with fur
trimmed pockets on the hips and furred
lapels. The plain skirt was ornamented with
several straight bands of fur beginning at
the waist and extending downward toward
the hem. With this costume went brown
velvet bonnet frightened with gold.
4 couple of days spent in Baden Baden
this week revealed the fact that this most
popular of German watering places is none
the less popular for having grown much
less wicked. The days Of public gambling
are over, but the great saloon OF the Con-
versatiOnhaus, the Flower saloon" the
Trinkta!le, where the waters are dispensed,
the beautiful pleasure grounds and
the thronged Lichtenthaler Alice over
flow this season, as all seasons, wi ii visitors,
German, French, Russian and English
in smart costumes and making babel
OF tongues. The gay little town is wonder
full contrast to tie quiet rustic valley in
which it lies, and after the drive along the
Oosbach, where peasant women In quaint
costumes are gathering the grape harvest
and guiding yOkes OF cows fastened to
strange, old-tlme wagons. one rubs ones
eyes at the spectacle presented under the
shaded avenues of lines and oaks, among
the flower beds and by the fountains, where

tresseS, and trained silks sweep the grass

In the Trnkhale one morning a young
Russian Countess displayed the most dash
ing Of Casino gowns, which a group of
FrrnchwOmen openly envied and an Eng
lfSh girl looked on with wonder and truly
British disapproval. 1t was cream tSffeta
with a deep flounce about the hem, pinked
in points. Over this founce was an outer
one Of tule embroidered with flower SPRAYS.
and at the head of the volant encircling the
skirt was a band Of white feather trimming
looking like fall of snow. The skirt dra-
perry was of heavy white tulle finished with
Il hem, through which was run broad
white ribbon and above which WAS a second
band of the downy trimming. The corsage
was crossed in front and behind with
feathery ruches, and a whit. cOlafette was
tied al tie back with long ''fol0w-me-
Of crcam-Whi;e ribbon. AS she Sipued her
glass there were murmurs Of admiration and
whispers of q husband and scandal, wills
pers which grew no fainter when the fair
Russian drove with n young officer to the
races at IffeZheim in the afternoon wearing
second gown, this time OF gray poplinettc
sprinkled with silver, which was too pretty
to lie quite compatible with German ideas of
virtue.

1t was the Princess who set Patti the
example of cOlOrins her hair like the daugh-
tiers of Titan, and now the same lady
penchant for butterflies bids fair to deck
out all womankind with the gauzy-winged
creatures on their dresses, in their
hair. all over their giddv persons. Her
hats are famous, and one in which she ap-
peared yesterday afternoon driving in the
Bots de BnulUgne may interest here and
there reader. 1t was a large pale gray
felt, with wide brim in front ard an odd,
almost a lver-shaped, indentatiOn behind.
Under the brim and curling across the fore
head was a long ostrich plume shaded from
deep violet to palest lilac. Other feathers
in the same c0lorings s0ftened the outline OF
the crown and dropped low, almost touch
ing the shoulders. Chez les grands c0u-
turiers the orders of the Princess are not
always altogether welcome. for she has the
reputation of being more than commonly
''fuSsy" especially when the idea to be car
ried out is one of her own and meant to
offer to ennuied Paris new sensation.
Two toilets, however. have been completed
within Il few days. One of these was of
pale gray cloth dotted with pale green,
edged with a deep border of large blue bach
elOrs' buttons with their SilveTy green fOll-
age. This border was so arranged that the
flowers radlated from deep pale green
edge of silk about the hem. The corsage
had a tuft of bachelors buttons rising from
the waist and spreading over the bust up to-
ward the pale green collar band. A small
bonnet of twisted bands of green silk was
trimmed back and front with tufts of bach
elOrs' buttons to accompany this autumn
carriage gown.
The other toilet was delicate gray blue
satin for evening, embroidered with steel
and trimmed about the hem with ruche set
with pink roses. Mauve and crimson is one
of the autumn combinations. Another is
yellow and brown. Brown is also combined
much with cream; with different shades of
red, with black and with the whole range of
blues. A pretty street toilet is in checked
brown and dark blue cloth, cut on the cross.
1t has fiat sleeves OF brown silk fastened at
the wrists with blue buttons. The corsage
is trimmed with fchu folds in brown silk
edged with fringe. With it goes hat of
brown felt trimmed with large bows of blue
and brown plaid ribbon doubled to half its
width to give an air of stiffness. Also
pretty is a polonaise gown of reddish bro wn
serge. braided in black cord and worn with
brown felt hat covered with black feathers.
There are several raw and bright shades of
straw berry III the autumn woolens. which
when toned down with black seem to suit
the Parisienne.

looked very well in dark brown and cream
with bonnet 10 match, driving with most
stately dOwager. There was ienneSe
beauty in a shot silk of rose color and pale
green, with hounce aud labots of black lace
thrust through here and there with deep
crimson flowers There was pretty actress
in white wool striped with mauye, with All
immense capeline hat covered with enor-

cosmopolitan, which means, of course, rich
yonng American, in black spotted gauze, the
bodice pointed back and front with pink silk
covered with black embroidery, and the
skirt 10 front edged with several narrow
pink frilS. There was Jeune dame from
st. Petersburg in n dress of dark bronze and
white striped surah, with deep flounce
about the skirt, showing bands OF white roses
embroidered on the bronze. Her BONES
was bronze velvet, with diadem of ivy
leaves and two cocks feathers behind.
There were English girls in light dainty
dresses with which their stiff sailor hats re-
fused point blank to harmonic. There was
an nll-varied panorama of watering place,
which is at its gayest in September
The Saturday night ball in the grand sa-
loon was masquerade, majority of the
ladies appearing in Swiss or German peas
ant costumes. Many of these were very
effective, notably the black skirts, black
velvet bodies and white cheniscs with sill
yer chains worn in the Bernese Overland,
the huge black ribton head-dresses seen
about Strasburg, and the short-waisted
green bodiceS, black petticoats and broad
brimncd straw hats with black and red ro-
settles, of the Black Forest region.

A Few Dress Notes J0tted Down
in the Gay Capital.
Some Toilets for Princess Christian-What
They Do to Amuse Themselves at the
Ex-Wicked Baden Baden.


HrARIS, Sept. 9, 1901 do not know
ESe that in these days of leveling, the
ES*S toilets of royalty are apt to be as
well worth describing us those of other in
diyiduals, yet may, in passing, mention the
fact that Worth has been making some
pretty dresses for Princess Christian of
ENGLAND. l understand that the autocrat of
gowns abates nothing of his despotism
when designing costumes for people pos
Sessed of high and mighty titles, and that
in this instance things came almost to an
open clash over some of tie garnitures, the
Princess expressing wish for certain ar
rangements, which preference was some
what uncerem0niOusly brushed aside In
the end, however. compromises were nego-
tiated. which partook of the nature of the
one so often described between the Scotch
man and his wife, who compensation
the mans way.
An evening dress of white satin was one
of the most effective shown. Over the
glistening material was draped costly black
lace caught up in wide shallow festoons
about the bottom of the skirt and held in
place by jet pendants, The corsage was of
heavy yellow brocade draped with straight
pieces of the lace, with short sleeves of lace
and brocade.
More picturesque was a costume of stone
gray plush. with hat of gray velvet and
feathers, and. most interesting of all, per-
hapS, as indicating the drift of present fash
ions, was toilet Of pale green silk, with
sleeves nearly fiat and trimmed both on
skirt and cOrsaGe with succession of small
squares of black embroidery very open in
design and fastened together at the corners
with small Louis XIV knots, these being re-
lunches of three or four small feathers held
by minute buckles.

LESSONS IN AIR.


The Fort Worth and Denver Trainmen
Going Through a Course of Sprouts.
Since the Fort Worth aud Denver be-
came part of the Union Pacific system
the boys all along the line, from brake
man up to engineer, including station
agents conductors, fremen aud all others
have been going through new school of
instruction. In fact they have been
learning the business from Union Pacific
text books, and they have to learn them
we'll. It was only short time ago that
they were furnished with book of Union
Pacific rules aud by dInt of hard study
all were enabled to pass good examina-
lions. They thought this would end the
business, but they were mistaken. Their
studies had just commenced.
There is now in the yards near the old
Denver Offices an ''air car" that
has been sent down here by the
Union Pacific management as
school of instruction for all train men in
the service; and the boys have been
taking daily lessons in the air line from
competent Instructors, who are in charge
of the car The car is simply an old
passenger coach that has been fitted up
with complete air appar atus, which
shows every detail OF the working of air
in handling railroad trains. With these
details trainmen must become so
thoroughly acquainted as 20 be able to
register so at least in their examination,
which viii soon take place, before they
Will be given cards emitting them to go
out on their runs.
The car is a perfect curiosity in its
way, and is 50 arranged as 10 show a full
train equipped with all air appliances
now in use on all first-class railroads
This step on the part of the Union Pacific
Is in view of the fact that every train on
the road from Fort Worth to the other
end of the system will be equipped for
all time with the air appliances, and in
order TO hold job on the system man
must be full of airy Information.

agent of the Cotton Belt, was in the city
yesterday.
General Freight Agent E. H. Hinton
of the Texas and Pacific spent yesterday
in the city and was full of business while
here.

drink artesian water in Fort Worth.
Mr.. Gould fed Dallas on taffy, and
Dallas paid for it by surrendering an en-
tire street in order that the Texas and
Pacific could lay another side track.
Contractor Dan Carey came down from
Wichita Falls yesterday, and reports
work progressing satisfactorily on the
Wichita Valley road. Track laying, he
says, has reached the twelve mile point
and is still going ahead.

Through Trnffic not Affected.

The Texas and Pacific road announces
that the breaks in the Mississippi levees
at Morgauza and Point Coupee, Louisi-
ana, will not in any way affect through
traffic. Arrangements have been made
with the Southern Pacific company to
run solid trains between Cheynevilie and
New Orleans, aud this will enable the
road to handle all through freight and
passenger trafio without interruption.
There is a small portion of the line, how
ever, for which the road temporarily is
not receiving freight or passengers on ac-
count OF the overflow. This extends
from Port Allen to Rosa, inclusive, in
Guiding Baton Rouge Junction, and en-
braces the following stations: Rosa,
Palmetto, Mellsville, Raveuwood, Fer
doche, False River, Wheelock, Marin
Rouin Sinnall g, Rosedale, Trinity River,
Crosse Tste, Choctaw, Baton Rouge
Junction, BrusIe Landing, Cinelaire,
Port Allen.
The road, therefore, will not receive
freight or passengers for these stations
until further notice, but will continue to
receive freight and passengers for
Plaquemine, Louisiana, and points south
thereof, as heretofore.
