US see whether the tn quoque will not
! lie against you. Passing over in discreet
silence your pajamas, bath robe, etc. +,
let us begin with your breakfast jacket
and slippers, then follows your business
| attire for the day; at 3 you are in your
body coat and light trousers to attend
a wedding, at . you make your bow in
your outing suit for a game of tennis, at
we meet you at dinner in evening
dress, at you don your uniform to at
tend monthly drill of your regiment at
the armory, at II you turn up at your
club in negligee suit, and at y you
may be found at your apartments in O
smoking jacket. Within sixteen hours
you have worn q smoking cap, q Derby,
a silk hat, tennis cap, military hat
and straw hat; you've changed your
shirt four times
"Hadn' t we better change the subject
of conversation" he enqured.
To me there is nothing more enjoyable
than to watch q beautiful woman as she
euacts the role of butterfly and bursts
into life every few hours with new wings,
new grace, new glory. First, as she
energies from the write drapery of her
couch, clad in the soft and cllnging
folds of her night dress with its lace and
ton, her saul de lit in thin and vapory
silk family pink like the first blush of
morning, after which, you meet her in
the breakfast room arrayed in charming
simplicity--a white muslin. A deep
pleating runs around the bottom of the
skirt and mounts, cascade like, up the
right side. The waist is finished with the
same pleating, while large jabot collar
ripples down over the bust, and broad
silk sash in two colors encir-
Giles the waist and falls almost
to the pleating of the skirt,
The feet are encased in white kid slippers
with simple floral embroidery. An hour
later my lady appears on the veranda
for drive IN her village cart. She is
attired in white cloth costume, skirt
very straight and plain, jacket of stylish
cut with large pearl buttons, and little
felt hat with the brim turned saucily up.
Upon her return, Miss Papillon again
bursts her shell and appears at luncheon
IN a cream surah, spotted with large
waters in pink, pale blue, slate color and
willow green, arranged in stripes.
Everything is cut bias. The corsage en-
circles the bust like an inclined plane
and the material coils around the arms
corkscrew-like, while pink satin ribbons
ornament the waist, waists and neck. In
the afternoon, Miss Papillion of course |
will drive to the Casino, and now L am |
happy to be able to lay before you three |
of her outdoor dresses. Each is |
a work of art, and in each |
she appears exalted and radiant,

An Expert Woman Operator.

Miss Nelly Kelly of the Ohio State
Journal, at Columbus, is a regular FIRST
wire" operator of the Associated Press,
and receives $50 80 a week, the same
salary that is paid to first wire men. She
is said to be the only telegraph woman in
the country holding such a place. At
$3.50 every afternoon Miss Kelly takes
her seat up stairs in the Journal office.
In front of her is q typewriter, and close
behind her is the eternally clicking first
wire'' of the Associated Press. AS fast
as the receiving instrument clicks Miss
Kelly copies its messages on the type
writer in the shape of neat "copY' for
the paper, taking Is ZOO words q night.
AT 2:30 q. m. she rises from her type
writer beside the telegraph instrument,
draws sigh of relief and goes home,
alone and safe. She has never missed q
night, and the State Journal praises her
work in the highest terms.

Household.

At the risk Of being prosy, indulgence
is asked for a few words upon table
manners, somewhat neglected accom-
pills hmeut.
In recent monthly publication a man
charges women with being q mannerless
sex, and while no woman likes to admit
SO sweeping a charge, still tine way in
which some are wincing shows that sore
places exist. Whatever of truth there is
in it, that there is truth gives reason for
urging that mothers institute a training
school where the sexes may be taught
the gentle courtesies, that which makes
intercourse with ones fellows agI eeable.
The primary department might be insti-
tuted in the dining room, room not de-
signed to be feeding place only, but a
place where civilized people may enjoy
the pleasures that ought to accompany
eating.
1t is well known that children are imi-
tative and their elders are their models.
Many man or woman would give q
handsome sum to uulearn some trick of
holding knife or fork acquired in child
hood or to have been taught table cour-
tesies that in after years others tender so
easily as seems to be natural. Early
training, or the lack of 1t, is never so
apparent as at the table, for there are
betrayed one's early home, its service
and its belongings, and it might almost
be said that three generations back
speak at the table in the manners of
their descendants. If this is true, then
is it not important that children be
trained in table manners, and is the
theory tenable that they will outgrow
boorishness.
At the every day ordinary meal of the
family there should be observed those
little delicate acts of courtesy, that
dainty feeding which is opposed to coarse
ness. No matter how simple the ap-
pointments, how frugal the board, the
ethics of the dining room should be rig
orously enforced. A gracious mistress
at the head of habitually we'll
nered. well-ordered and well-served
table will train all who come within the
scope of her influence so that in after
days, though they sup with princes or
dine with kings, they will everywhere
manifest familiarity with the etiquette
that is not of courts but.of a.well- ordered
home.

Gordon pleats and mounted upon a yoke
of passementerie of gold and lilac silk OF
different tones. 1t is particularly
"grand dame'' in Its STYLE
Hats will be feather-ladeu all the win
ter as they have been flower-laden all the
summer. Short ostrich tips in wreaths
around the crown, in huge panaohes, in
prince of Wales cluster, in ruches, and
in fat bandeaux are already worn. and
will be fashionable throughout the
winter.
A bonnet spring-a band of metal
which passes around the front and sides
of any headgear-has been invented g,
which gives the wearer q sense of abso-
lutte security against any amount of
wind, and does away with the use of q
hat pin. An Englishman has made the
device and patented it.
Large plaids combined with plain ma
terials are very much the fashion. Plaid
silks are also largely used as liuIngs for
travelling cloaks and coats. There is a
new seaside Jacket lined with q bright
plaid silk that can be worn in three
distinct ways. 1t looks prettiest worn
open with the bright silk revers turned
back.
A novelty in wedding dresses is q rich
white silk, brocaded with daisies, and
has long transparent sleeves of clear
tulle, banded with silver passementerie.
The Medici collar is of stiffened tulle,
embroidered with silver. At the back of
her head, around the Grecian low oiled
knot of her hair, the small fat wreath of
open orange flowers is 10 be placed and
tulle veil thrown over all.
For ulsters and long cloaks used dur
ing the winter diagonals and shaggy
cloths will be much worn. The capes on
the listers will be longer and fuller than
ever, while some tailors are trying 10
introduce the pilgrim hood, worn some
time ago. These, instead of being lined
with silk, are lined either with the same
material or cloth of a lighter shade.
Broceded silk for weddings is revival
of this season g choice. pearl white
satin brocade has the train and corsase
in an exquisite design of wild roses. The
front of the dress is draped With Irish
lace. The veil is tulle worn over
wreath of orange blossoms. Pearls and
amethysts are the ornaments, and the
bouquet is of white and pale lilac or
chids.

as if she knew that the eyes of the world
were upon her, which they are.
a woman's world is smaller than q
mans, but it calls for just as much
thought.
The first illustration after the initial
sets forth a very effective dress in silver
gray peau de sole, with gold and silver
embroidered galloon. The front portion
of the skirt is in very finely pleated silk
crepe of the same delicate gray tone.
The hat is early French in shape, and
serves to accentuate the delicate contour
of face and head. 1t will be noted that
the sleeves of this dress, as in fact of
each of the three costumes worn by Miss
Papillou, are not very bouffant or set
very high on the shoulders. II is point
to be borne in mind, and may be conf
IDENTIFY accepted as hint, from one who
knows, that the days of the exaggerated
bouffant are numbered.
In the second illustration this ardent
but intellectual devotee of fashion wears
an extremely elegant dress-a comDina-
ton of heliotrope peau de sole with fcelle
silk guipure. The guipure is applied in
a very original and stylish manner, and
the sleeves are finished with great taste.
The hat which is ficelle straw, is trimmed
dark violet striped surah ribbon.
In the third and last illustration, Miss
Papillon bursts upon our gaze in a cos
tune which merits in a high de-
gree the epithet original. But that orig
inality doesn't prevent the dress from
being charming creation, all the same.
1t consists of combination of white
pongee silk, black velvet and gray peau
de sole, as shown in the drawing. The
effect is not at ell loud or startling. On
the contrary, it is an ensemble OF live
illness tempered by the minor key of the
gray.
In nothing does woman show her
good taste so quickly as IN a casino
toilet. 1t is no place for lace or diamonds,
but rather for that elegant simplicity In
material, cut and harmony of color
which always characterizes the we'll
dressed woman. The we'll dressed

Clint in Fashion

If one were seeking position in which
there was no chagrin 1t would not be that
of a writer on fashion. After preparing
an article for the delectation of readers
under the trying conditions of mercury
among the nineties, when it reaches print
the tickle fluid so appropriately named
has dropped down to fifty or whereabouts,
Is not conducive to happiness. There is
left, however, to the writer that COM
psuy misery loves in the merchant, who
with bills due in ninety days, are sweat
ing under a window exhibit of wool and
camel's hair dress goods and all which
serves to make q winter temperature
comfortable. After last week. IS expert
ence the writer has determined to leave
the weather clerk to his freaks and write
only OF fabrics and fashions that ought
TO be seasouable.
In accordance with this fixed purpose
attention 10 directed to wraps. The long

| his reply, 'but l met the jacket last
winter in Paris, at the Chat Noir.
So far as / can learn queen fashion
intends to take leaf from the book of
nature this autumn. She-queen fash
ion, not dame nature-has made great
discovery, a discovery which is almost as
startling as that of the Bourgeois Gentll-
homme, who was so astonished to learn
that he had been talking prose all his
life. Well, this discovery of queen
fashion is that animals wear their fur all
the year round, and now she is asking
herself why shouldn't we do as they dol?
Hence, you may look out for an early
appearance of all kinds of fur trimming.
1t Will no longer be & question of weather
put simply of taste as to the kind and
manner of using it. Several autumn
dresses have a strip of fur at the bottom
and a neckband of fur. The only OBJ
lection to the early use of fur about the
throat is that it will render that already
dreadfully impressionable part of the
body still more susceptible to draughts
and changes in the atmosphere; but such
q little matter as that must not be per-
mltted to stand in the way of our follow
ing the fashions. Said celebrated
Greciau statesman and lawgiyer: elf
the same blind obedience with which
women follow the fashions of the day, l
could govern the whole world as easily
as l now govern Athens.
1t is predicted that costumes of velvet
and plush trimmed with fur are to be
very popular the coming season. The
plain tight skirt calls loudly for fur
borders, just as it did for frills, fiounces
and pleatlngs during the summer. Fur,
too, will no doubt be favorite garniture
for cloaks and wraps this fail. The
Medicis collar has already made its ap-
pearapce on fur capes and it imparts
great deal of style to these garments.
Long wraps will be much affected, and
these will have the Overcape which adds
SO much to such garments.
Turning tor q moment to headgear, l
may say that the small capote is to main
tain its vogue this coming season. Gray
and dark blue will be favorlte colors for
these tiny head coverings, made up in
velvet with the Indispensable pouf set off
by small birds IN piquant and bizarre
attitudes. The domed capotes covered
smoothly with velvet are very becOm-
ing to some heads. These are also
made of cut jet beads of the olive shape,
arranged in squares and lined with black
lace, little bOuillonne of pink, tur-
quoise blue velvet running around the
edge and black bird or sheat of black
aigrette in front. The dull pinks, citron
yellow, Pompeian brown, jay blue and
nickel gray will be modish colors for
headgear. The vigorous protests of the
Audubon society only seems to whet the
taste for birds on our hats. Even the
wise and solemn owl has been pressed
into service and will glare from the heads
of our women at such men as may ex-
coed the limits of discretion in their at
tentions to ladies in public places. The
owl ought to become a very great favor
tie with the Boston girl, being the chosen
bird of Minerva, goddess of

frivolous New York woman might

sufficient oricle. The fighting sparrow
would naturally serve as an emblem of
the rugged and self-assertive English
maiden, while the maybe might be ap-
propriately adjudged 10 the noisy and
conceited Frenchman, and the wise and
contemplative crow be assigned to the
philosophical German. Nor will 1t be
possible to do without jet in the making
of these elegant and refined bonnets, not
only in the shape of network, but also as
wired jet lace or jet ornaments. Jet and
chenille will also be intermingled, but no
novelty will be strong enough to push
the ostrich feathers out of fashion. They
will be arrayed IN puts of small tips and
f1owerlike ponpons, set in front or on
either side. To sum up, although the
bonnets of the coming season are to be
small, they will be expensive, for never
before were the materials SO artistically
fashioned and of such a high order of
excellence.

1t is not generally known that the east
shoes which have become muddy is with
vaseline. A little ''swab'' of flannel on
the end of stick is good for this pur-
pose. Even if the vaseline touches the
hands 1t forms a coating over them, SO
that the task is not so unpleasant as it
otherwise would be. Such a dressing as
this is sufficient for some fine kid shoes,
but others may need a coat of polish. If
the polish is put on after coat of vase
line it is not liable to crack the leather,
and it lasts much longer. Rubber over
shoes, especially, look much better and
last much longer if cleaned in this way
than if they are washed with water.
