Mrs. Gen. Logan has a room in her
Washington house known as Memorial
hail, in which the mementoes, souvenirs
and books of the late general are pre-
served. The furniture is of black wal
nut aud prune leather, which was brought
from the Prairie avenue home in Chi
Gag. The walls are decorated with
portraits and battle pictures in which
the soldier participated. On G pedestal

fresh flowers are placed every day. One
quaint piece of furniture is an old easy
chair once owned by Andrew Jackson :,
and small tea-table that belonged to
Henry Clay. Dozens of beautifully en-
crossed resolutions cover the lower walls

Her Place in the World.

Mrs. Allen Freeman Palmer, formerly
president of Wellesley college. has some
ideas about women and girls which do
not accord with the prevailing theories.
1.-the influence of the higher education
of women, =" she says, sis to benefit and
improve and idealize the home life. 1t
means breadth of mind. self control,
self reliance, sweetness of temper, sound
health and, above all, womanliness.
The first step must come from the gym
nasium door. There the laws of living
are interpreted: there the woman learns
to know herself, and there is laid the
foundation for mental health, muscular
development and physical perfection.
The time for the whimsical, nervous
woman is past; there is no room for the
girl who lives by her emotions outside of
the sanitarium or lunatic asylum. Good
health, logical training and a correct
ideal will enuoble the woman and raise
the standard of home, which is the basis
of society.

as shown in the engraving. The plas-
tron is in plain indigo peau de sole while
the hat is gray felt effectively garuI-
tured with white silk ribbon coques and
strings. Gray gloves and an indigo and
white parasol complete this altogether
lovely attire. The little miss Is very be-
comingly and originally dressed
in combination of garnet
serge, bordered with white surah
bands, lined with black chenille, or
black and white striped fabric. A black
and white Tam o 'Shanter and black and
white stockings make up piquant en-
semble.
Until the return to town, all classic
jewelry, diamonds, pearls, etc., is alb
soluteIy taboed. You must content your
self with the fantastic such as flowers in
gold. enameled in natural colors, tiny
frogs in emeralds with yellow eyes, white
mice with ruby eyes, guinea pigs, etc.
Each of these ornaments serves some
purpose, one concealing supply of face
powder. and another tiny mirror. Nor
must you fail to have q little ball watch
about the size of q hickory nut fastened
to your neck, wrist, or belt. Your cloak
should be closed with very large agrafe
in old gold, with old fashioned gems,
must these enamels which 1 mentioned
above be wornlike classic jewelry; they
must be half hidden here and there,
holding fold, bit of drapery, or a
brin of lace so that every slight move
ment of the body will be quite sure to
attract the gaze by the sparkle of some
gem half concealed under bit OF gauze
or tulle.
Predictions are rife at this transition
season; one is that sleeves are to be
worn much smaller, raised at the shoul-
ders, but not reaching the ear. In other
words, this Send of the century, rage
has spent its force.
Another prediction is that sleeves of
different material are to disappear this
winter, giving as they do an air of
"shreds and patches. 1t is rather late
to make this discovery, but that's
always the way out of fashion means out
of affection, whether it's bit of stuff or
matter of flesh and blood.

ienne: hat TO match aud gloves in pale
gray. Her companion is dressed in Il
very original combination of pansy vel
vet and white yelling, the sleeves beng
trimmed with pansy and whited striped
faiile and the waist having crossed braces
il same material.
The season for long clOaks will soon be
at hand especially for those who have
the good fortune to be able to keep or
command horses. l saw a long cloak IN
the park the other day which pleased me
very much. 1t was in putty -coiored
cloth finished ell around with double
ruche composed of reddish-brown velvet
upon putty colored silk. This CLOAK
was lined with blue Pekin silk with
broad stripes of reddish brown velvet.
The shapely head of the wearer was
crowned with putty colored felt hat
with broad brim turned up picturesquely
at the back. It was trimmed with Il
velvet bow to match and branch Of
chestnut showing the fruit in the half
opened bur.
A long cloak is an absolute necessity in
a large city where so much dependence
must be put upon the street ear to reach
a concert hall or attend an evening re-
ception 1t should be of thin cloth,
rather dark in color ald ample enough to
cover the dress completely. Consider
able taste may be displayed in the cut
and style of these cloaks. Deep frills
may be attached TO the yoke and little
plain embroidery will not be out of place.
The point is to disguise the fact that you
are in evening dress, hence there should
be no attempt at display, but this plain
ness does not forbid the selection of some
artistic metal fastening i'll old silver.
Speaking of these plain, long cloaks re-
minds me of an Englishman s remark
upon attending a concert at the Boston
music hall and observing the transforma-
ton scene when the ladies laid off their
long cloaks and appeared in evening
dress. Said he: 81 enjoyed it more
than [ did the famous ballet in Robert lie
Dinble. -

Plisse flchus of gauZe kept in place by
bands of velvet and piisse bibs serve ad-
mirably to set off sombre dress. The
Marie Antoinette fichu will remain a
favorite, the material being mousseline
de sole, edged with plisse of the same.
The second illustration sets forth an
other plisse effect. In this case the cos
tune consists of mauve peau de sole,
with an underskirt and shoulder orna-
ment in white plisse silk tulle, producing
a delightfully."- artistic combination. The
sunshsde conforms by being in mauve
silk covered by white plisse silk gauze
The hat worn with this lovely dress is q
pale gray felt with black velvet ribbons
and cherries and leaves. Such costume
IS this deserves to be called the swan s
note of the dying season, and it almost
makes US wish that cold winds would
never come to vex US. But then cold
winds mean furs, and every woman looks
well in a fur-trimmed costume.
There are to be some charming combi-
nations of cloth and silk this half sea-
son. For instance, e fawn-colored cloth
with large revers disclosing red pongee
front; q parchment cloth made with a
Jacket waist disclosing plastron in olive
green; pearl gray opening on black
lace front; electric gray disclosing dove
gray, etc. The revers of these jacket
waists must be long and turn well back +,
and usually have velvet collar. AS an
original novelty some of the vests are of
soft leather, giving hobby and sports
men-like air to the wearer.
There is little change observable in
the CONNECTION of the skirt. 1t still re-

while summer has an eXcitant effect on
social scientists. Autumn gives rise 10
increased activity in the N inds of politi-
cal refOrmers, and winter with its beer
has a disturbing influence on the minds
of socialists, nihllsts, communists ana
anarchists In the world of fashion the
soul of the dying year turns to the con-
temptation of jackets and wraps. Nature
never negiects her own, and woman ls

much of q mental machine to interest
nature any more. You can tell exactly
how q man is going to act, given, OF
course, the surrounding circumstances.
Not so with the dear woman; she still re-
mains the same grown up child, crying
for an emerald velvet dress with waist
opening on q cascade of old lace when
her husband hasn't TWO thousand q
year.
In the autumn nature gives the ami
mails q thicker fleece and she turns
woman's thoughts to some sort of cover
ing for her shoulders. Hence, in the
almanac of fashion read: about this
time look for fine display of jackets
and wraps III sorted colors to suit the
costume. - And, speaking of modish
coverings for the shoulders. l should say
a word about the stylish mantelet which
promises to be such favorlte.
1t is continuation garment, con-
sisting usually of cloth and silk although
plush will also be used III Il color bar
monizng with the dress. The mantelet
is made up of II cloth cape, tucked at the
edge, coming to point at the waist and
furnished with medicis collar. Il very
lot rt.F Of WI
pongee silk, commencing at O point on
the back edge of the cape, are carried
over the shoulders and down the front,
the top tiounce cascading nearly to the
knees. The capuchon has a V-shaped
plastron and pointed yoke, both of which
should be properly embroidered. In
creased elegance is obtained by making
the pointed yoke and plastron of mervil-
leux and embroidering it with gold or
open gimp work. Dark cloth if used
should be relieved by lighter color in
the silk and gayer tones i'll the embroid-
cry All in all, this mantelet is very
attractive little wrap full of chic, and
lust the thing for the fresh October days
when the avenue again takes on its long
missed glory and the stranger mistakes

turning guests OF some gay fete.
Plisse effects still remain very modish.
The lady of the initial wears an extreme
ly stylish white wooden jacket with
revers and cuffs in olive green satin, EN-
broidered with white roses aud green
leaves. The skirt is made of q stripes
faille to match the jacket. In this cos
tune there is a fine loose plisse effect
gained by having a vest of black pongee
which is generously displayed by the
open hang of the charming jacket.

ARKANSAS WANTS PEOPLE.
Less than One sixth OF All the Lands in the
State Under Cultivation.

Less than One sixth of All the Lands in the
State Under Cultivation.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Mr. Fl. L.
Renoniel of Newport, Arkansas, ex-sec-
rotary of immigration for that state, is
here. He SAYS that Arkansas Is the first
state in the Union in the combined pro-
duction of hard woods and. pine. In her
magnificent supply of timber she has a
source of enormous wealth. The value
of yellow pine exported from the state
this year will equal S23 900, 900. She is
also third in the production of man
ganese. Less than one-sixth of her
80 600 200 acres of land is under cultlva-
ton.
Said Mr.. RenouieI: 1--WE are growing
fast, have the finest crops ever seen, and
if we cohld only elect Republican
state ticket the benefits that would follow
cannot be estimated. L am straight
cut Republican, and am as free to eX-
press my sentiments vote nv ticket
in Arkansas as | would be in Massachu-
setts.''
The statement that the salvation of
Arkansas lies within the power of the
Republican party may well be doubted,
but it ls refreshing to note that Mr.. Re-
noniel completely refutes the generally
accepted idea that free ballot and fair
count is impossible in the slate or Akan-
sas.

Sad Results.

A lamentable case of softening of the
brain has come to the knowledge of a
few society people, says the Louisville
Post, and it will result sooner or later IN
the confinement in private asylum OF
beautiful young woman who has been
favorite in fashionable circles. She has
for several years been addicted to the
dangerous practice of bleaching her halr
by means of certain powerful acids, and
her mind has become so seriously affected
therefrom that her physicians regard her
case as incurable.

Happy. But Not Popular.

The idea of being popular with every
one Is a mistaken one. The man or
woman who can please every one never
has nor never will live. If you try to
be popular with every one you will soon
find you will have to go more than half
way to become friendly with them, and
become deceitful by treating people
friendly with whom you have no desire
to associate. Go the way your natural
inclination and affinities lead you and
you will be-not popular in the sense in
which that term is used-but happy.

Chat on Fashions.

That women love pretty things is not
to their discredit, neither is it so very
serious grievance that surly philoso-
pher defined her ian animal loving

cnbulaTy means garments and her critics
are the first TO cry out against unbecom-
iuEness In these. Usually the becoming
ness hinges on their being stylish, a word
that is not easily defined, and one that
few men can understand. A woman
knows what the charm of novelty is and
recognizes that social boycott is the re-
suit OF being ont of the fashion. For
these reasons she scans closely all fashion
items and does rot consider that the time
spent in selecting costuming suitable for
various occasions is misspent. If she is
woman of good taste she has learned
that one dress does not ft all times and
seasons, and if she is sensible woman
she has learned TO change from one dress

or dinner dress with celebrity

here TO say that the American young
lady's English cousin Is her superior in
this respect, and her example is worthy
oil imitation.
Another mark of good breeding that
has fashion on its side is that no FASH
ionable woman is permitted to be uutidy.
The fashion is to be neat-exquisitely
neat-and from skin to the smallest ac-
cessory Of the costume. neatness is the
law. No missing button, no frayed
edges, no torn gloves or mussy frills-all
must be trinity neat. but removed from
