with books OF similar editions to those he
possessed. The books that Washington left to
Bushrod Washington were afterward sold to the
Boston Athen@um. This accounts for the small
number OF his books now at Mount Vernon
Odd pieces OF furniture that belonged to him,

A COLLECTION OF PORTRAITS.
DIR. Thomas Adds Emmett recently presented
the association with a collection of sixty por-
traits Of Washington and the generals of the
revolution that add greatly to the interest of
the collection at Mount Vernon. The collec-
ton Is OF historical value from the fact that it
Is made up to great extent OF portraits issued
as private" or "club portraits" of which there
were very few impressions issued before the
plate was destroyed. 1t would be almost i'm
possible to get another set together which
would be as complete as this is, in containing
the authentic likeness of every general where
portrait Is known to exist. For years DR..
Emmet was engaged, with others, in tracing out
the descendants OF these men with the object
OF having their por traits engraved vheneyer a
likeness could be found
Another handsome present was from Mr..
samuel r. Avery OF New York. 1t is an enamel
p pan on copper Of Gen. Washington, from
life for the Marquis Of Lsnsdowne, Philadel-
phia, April, 1876. On the back of the enamel
painting Il the inscription, 'Geu. George
washington, PRESIDENT OF the United States Of
America, de-, London. May, 1925. Painted
by Henry Bone, RIA, enamel painter to his
majesty and enamel painter to his r. H. Duke
OF York, &C., after the original by Gabriel az
Stuart in the possession of - Williams, ESQ.
Of Finsbury Square, London"
Bone was one Of the most noted enamel
painters Of his day, and painted from life many
OF the celebrities Of his time as well as MANY
copies OF celebrated paintings. He was born
in l776 and died in 1884. This enamel was pur.
| chased by Mr.. Avery In London in 1873.

NEW YORK, Oct. Is, 1S90.-TSpecial cor
respopdence of The HERALD New
gowns, new bonnets, and one might almost
add new faces-for many are so bronzed by
the summers outing-are beginning to
strew our avenues and thoroughfares
'.Thick as autumnal leaves that strew the

and again it seems as if it had never been
before, when autumn suggests warmth of
color and richness of tone In all that is
new there is decided touch of French
grace and originality, and yet it is claimed
that American women are not half as keen
about French fashions as formerly. that
they are growing more English in their
dress every year. However. to dress well
it is necessary to ''feel the pulse of fash
ion,n which means to know what French
people are making and selling and wearing.
Undoubtedly the aorta of the whole arte-
rial system of fashion is located in Paris,
and every pulse thro5 is felt throughout
the universe.
To be fully convinced Of this fact, one
need only to pass behind the scenes of
any of our large importing houses, and in
spect the the novelties from the leading
Paris designers, and which can be desig-
mated by nothing less exalted than ''crea-
tons"
Elaboration is carried out most extern
sively in tea gowns or house-gown which

They are so graceful and hide so many de-
ficiencies. One beautiful example among

is tea-gown rich as regards materials, but
quite simple in shape. It is an old rose

to match in color. A girlieh gown in white
crepe is festooned around the hem with q
wreath of white rose petals, and the bertha
and sleeves are trimmed in the same way.
The newest model of bridal gown made
by leading couturiere abroad, is simple in
design yet eXquisitely elegant. AS usual
with bodices, no fastening is visible; the
train which follows full and gracefully, is
hooked on to the corsage at the back, and
the corsage in fl ont is finished with drap-
cry of lace. The sleeves and Medici collar
are also of lace, and a simple cluster Of
| orange blossoms nestles at the throat-for
the long sprays and chatelains of flowers
are nc longer the height of fashion. Two
volants, or fiounces of lace are headed with
orange blossoms. The veil is arranged not
to cover the face.
With gentlemen tits the fashion to wear

turn in the right direction.
The new grape iewelry recently intro

To look at the display Of handkerchiefs
upon the shop counters and in the estab

and from the back is brought down to form
strings. SuiUez moi plumes are ARRANGED at
the back.
The quaint little hats, which resemble an
inverted butterladle more than any thing
else, are becoming more and more popular.
They are generally covered smoothly with
velvet, edged with feather trimming, and a
few birds or bunch of small tips pose at the
back. One little shape of brilliant red vel
vet is edged with black, and upon the front
brim is arranged design in cut let. while
a jet dragon-fiy nestles among ''Prince OF
Walesn tips at the back.
Another is made of velvet in the new
turquoise color, which is vivid and a most
trying shade to the complexion in the day-
light. However it is charming for evening
wraps, and should ever be combined with
gold. A complete costume in this brilliant
turquoise blue was recently imported from.

It is of olive green cloth and is bordered
all round with narrow roll of black lynx
fur The trimming consists of five straight
rows of black velvet, upon which is braid
of gold and black cords. The 1aring col
lar is lined with black velvet, and there are
braided and velvet trimmed epaulets on the
shoulders. The hat is the iauntiest of tur-
bans--black velvet braided with gold, with
standing ostrich plume over the
crown. The bodice beneath this cape is

day dress in the new turquoise color. The
material is crepe de chine, and the skirt is
plain, save for flounce around the hem.
A zouaye of gold and turquoise stones sets
off the bodice, and there are high, pulled up
sleeves.
A fitting accompaniment to the new and
dainty muffs are the snowy embroidered
mouchoirs of crepe lisse. They are in all
possible shades and are embroidered on the
edges in floral designs, like the one illus
trated. Strong contrasts are the rule, such
as border of purple pansies on a nastur-
tium-pink centre, heliotrope upon pale
green, mignonette on old rose, and the like.
