NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The color this fall
will not be cardinal or ox-blocd, or
elephants breath, or crushed straw berry. or
any other fanciful combination, but Just
plain old-fashioned magenta. Some twenty
odd years ago they called it ''solierino, " and
some of our American cousins have tried o
late to christen it carnot-red, but magenta
is the color and that is what it will be
called, for Mime. Carnot. the first lady of
France, who has introduced the color,
names it so.
The beautiful Miss Willing has dress of
deep gray. 1.-THE color of heavy fog she
says, with big round discs OF magenta
sprinkled all over it. She calls il her "pret-
test dress" and l believe her.
Another style, older than this old color,
which is coming back, is the wearing of
sabots. or wooden shoes. They are
not the old clumsy affairs of yore,
but dainty little things that click
| along the pavements in a way that
is very pleasant. And still another res
direction IS the night-cap. The girls have
put them on, and their only regret is that
the young men can't see how becoming
they are. Not the old-fashioned close af-
fair of white cotton; oh, dear no, the cap
OF to-day is a most bewildering creation of
muslin and lace and tiny bows of ribbon
aud when the fluffy hair is tucked inside
with just few stray ringlets peeping out
here and there, girl is simply irresistible
This is the time of year when the summer
girl is full of trouble. She has got to have
lot of new fall gowns, which are some
times hard TO get, and she has got to pave
the way for Launcelot to approach the
pater, with the very modest request that he
will give up his daughter She tries to
catch the old gentleman In good
humor, and then she sits down
him kitten fashion and begins to
purr. | ran onto such tableau the other

All, these fathers; they seem to forget the
time when they went wooing. Perhaps,
though, they remember all too well, aud
that's why they are so war;.
An awfully pretty girl was sitting in the
shade ot one Of the tents at Asbury park
the other day, keeping as still as a mouse,
while her father, grave old deacon, went
Ut der the flap of a tent near by two dark
eyes under a mans hat watched her. and
the owner OF the eyes beckoned very i'm
patiently. For answer she held up a warn
ing finger, but in moment or two she rose
softly and slipped over to that other tent
The flap was let down and the old deacon
slept serenely on.
Mrs. Marshall o. Roberts is home from
London, but gossip says she will not stay
long, but is gong back to wed an English
husband. We are not informed whether he
is the conventional nobleman with an empty
purse, but if he is. Mrs. Roberts has enough
for both, and she is her own executrix.
The great picture called Eyes or No"
which Is said to have been taken from Miss
Dorothy Tenant, has reused in tue breasts
of American girls who are travelling abroad
an intense desire to be portrayed in SONS
romantic attitude.
For instance, Miss Amy Travers, who is
now in Paris, has been painted while in the
act OF dropping wax upon a letter. An
other New York girl, whose name | won't
give, has been taken in a Recamier gown
that begins nearly down where the picture
leaves off. This is an illustration OF the
beautiful consistency of sweet women. She
holds up her hands in holy horror at
the nude in art, but the nude in
nature seems quite the correct thing. SO
she takes off all she dares and sits for hours
'sublmated by his art" and all that, but to
look at him his appearance is that of an or
binary everyday man. If you tickle him |
think he would laugh, or if you pricked him
he would bleed and if-but forbear There
| are things It's better not to dwell upon"
There is girl at Narragansett Pier this
summer who is attracting more attention
than one girl has ANY business to. She is
called Little Dlcky," but her real name is
Miss Dickinson, and she is the only daughter
of very rich widow who divides her time
between Washington and New Orleans.
Little Dicky" is very much addicted to
surf bathing, and is quite conspicuous in a
canary-colored bathing suit, but she can
wear anything, she isiso pretty.
Another Narragausstt beauty is Miss
Sterling of Baltimore. She has wonderful
Titan red hair, which wasn't got by bleach
| ing. Her complexion is tinted like the in
side of shell, and she is altogether fair to
look upon. Moreover, she is in no danger
of shocking the women who fear the sex is
| growing too learned and independent Miss
| Sterling never talks learned Some ILL
natured person might be ready to say she
couldn't if she wanted to. But that would
be mean, and nobody but a woman would
say it.

prettiest girls at the pier, but they are
bright and stylish and attractive, and each
