bave been gathered to follow the ribbons
and fall carelessly on the train. Brown
butterflies, with golden-spotted velvet wings
and iewel-set bodies, poise above the flowers,
swaying on slender wire fastenings. The
folds OF the heavy silk net line the waist,
with no seams to mark its contour, and
drape the shoulders in 4 simulated sleeve,
which is caught together at the bottom with
a band hidden beneath. More of the velvety
dusky butterflies which nestle against her
white neck poise above the flowers on her
bosom, and gieam out in the wGvy masses Of
her simple coifures.
We are decidedly coming back to the be-
houRced skirt, many of the new French
dresses having fiounce around the bottom,
a thick rose ruche or band of plush, velvet
or fur.
A furry season is predicted BY the know
ing ones. The high fur shoulder cape has
come to stay, at least for the cold season.

We have fallen upon days when custom
and fashion have decided spanking not to
be good form, says the New York World
There was a time when all of us believed
with the French philosopher that "a bov is
the most savage of all beasts" but all that
was very long ago and now we do not even
allow the tiniest bit of corporal punishment in
sny of our. schools, nor in our army or navy.
Of course, the writer, who has looked
somewhat into the subject, does not mean to
say that the habit of spanking has entirely
disappeared, for the most casual observer
who keeps his eyes open, not to speak of his
ears, knows better. But, like highway rob-
berry and dueling and painting the feminine
face, it is diminishing in volume and fre-
quencv. 1t is difficult to gather statistics
scientifically accurate upon the subject, but
little talk among your married friends, oh,
reader Of gentle dispostionl will surprise
you by revealing how many OF them were
spanked in their youth and how very few
now spank their own offspring in turn, The
old jokes about the efficacy OF slipper
training have lost their point, and for many
reasons.
In New York a few strongholds of this
form of posterior punishment still hold out
They are the public institutions where or
phan, incorrigible or destitute children are
reared. That is one objection to being a
poor orphan child in this town-one is al
most sure to be spanked. In an inveshga-
tion in court the other day the manager of
one of the largest New York homes for
children declared that the favorite form of
correction employed was the old-fashioned
spanking system. 1t left no marks upon

strikingly stylish outfit for Washington
this next winter, expense not SO much con-
sideration as good appearance. White will
be the highest fashion for the season, as it is
worn abroad; white wool damassse and
twills for house dress in the cream satin
habit shirts, cherry and turquoise surah
to change, white mouttonee wools for cloak
ings and white velvety beaver and Astra.
khan jackets with rich damasse or embrold-
cred vests for walking. You may vary this,
with utility and appearance both in ques-
tion, by adopting the pale whitish gray
worn by English women OF good style; the
long ulsters OF white-gray cheviot, soft as
camel's hair, pearl-gray plaids, strength
ened by bars of indefinite pencil gray, or
heather brown trimmed by Angora fringe,
or shawl fringe, nearly white. White fleece
Jacket with rose-crimson satin lining, for
Innings tell very much in these colorless
outfits, the fronts faced with damassee rose,
cream and silver; very littls of the light
shades, however.
A SPANISH INNOVATION.
Bonnet of pale velvet, with trimming of
broad, curling ostrich tips, and black and
silver embroidery on crepe lisse mixed
with the velvet loops. Hat of pale felt,
with open work edge. and plumes, crimson
velvet rose attached to the elastic band just
back Of the left ear. This Spanish touch is
one Of the newest points in millinery, not In
the shops as yet. A black velvet rosette Is
substituted by blonde wearers. A cross-over
costume in black damask velvet and ash
gray, miscalled slate gray, with border Of
fleece fringe headed by black chenille,
would be very nice with rose red China
crepe tie at the throat just showing under
the collarette. A Vandyke collar and cuffs
en- suite in white and gold passementerie Of
fine pattern may be worn with different
dresses or a suit in velvet cut-work with
gray pearl beading, which looks so quietly
elegant and forgives the imitation for once
If one must initiate.
For evening dress choose white damasks,
with Japanese Grape, or white Indian shawl
dress, with white satin, big white, soft
satin sash drnped over it; a black lace, EN-
broidered with nasturtiums, shaded from
orange to deep red, with ribbon knots of the
shades blended; thin wool cape, with mar
row stripes Of either white or black velvet,
white satin ribbon an inch and q quarter
wide run on in bayadere stripes from foot to

GLADsToNps FINGER NAILS.

They Are of Fine Color and Size and He
Takes Good Care of Them.
A London manicure says Gladstone 5
nails are particularly good, of fine color
and size, and nicely kept. Handsome nails
nearly always 60 with well-shaped hand.
Mr.. Gladstone's hands are rather large and
the fingers are large in proportion. The
skin is very soft, and the lines, although
numerous, are not remarkable.
Among the best-shaped hands of public
men is that OF Sir Frederic Leighton. He
has large, well-shaped and firm hand, and
the nails are in proportion large and
rounded and well-trimmed. Mr.. Spurgeon,
on the other hand, has fat, straight nails
with a large and flabby hand. He doesn't
patronize a manicure.

I the "spankee and yielded favorable re-
suits.
Quite the reverse was the testimony of
the mother of eight well-behaved and de-
lightfully hammered children. "1t is not
becoming in me-" she said, ito boast OF my
girls and boys, but they certainly are little
ladies and gentlemen, and have never laid
hand harshly upon one of them. There is
a certain indignlty about the form of pun
ishment known as spanking that should
never be put upon high-spirited children. 1t
debases their natures" So much for the
testimony of one good "homey" sort of
woman, testimony that was borne out by
many others. And the moral of it all, if
there be moral, is that it would be good
idea for children to cut this out and paste it
in their mothers hats.
The Medici muff is the latest addition to
muff shapes. 1t is flaring at the ends and
small in the center, and is usually made of
cloth to match the costume, and trimmed
with fur, or of fancy material to match the
bonnet or hat.
House Jackets show little change from the
styles employed through last winter and
summer, the sleeveless Toreador and all the
notifications thereof remaining in the
richest colors and materials which may be
found for them.

How Photographer Bell Was Asked to
Favor a Congressman Once.
Speaker Reed has a queer double in
Washington, says Frank G.. Carpenter
This man is named Bell, and he has pho
tograph gallery on the avenue, not far rom
the Capitol. He was sitting in the theater
one night at just about the close OF the ses-
sion. when Western Congressman, who
wanted to get building bill up before the
House. came to him, between the acts and
whispered that he wanted him to recognize
him on the morrow.
"Come in and I'll take look at YOU through
the camera"
-. The man looked as though he thought the
Speaker was crazy, and he hasn't to this day
made out the reason why his bill was not
brought up before the House.

ate an interesting aneedote on this point.
He is known as an actor Of extreme nervous
force and sincerity and to see him on first
night an audience is led to believe that he Is
thoroughly absorbed in his part and has NO
remem mbrance of the ordinary world tha
studies him.
"I am not sure about myself" said this
actor; there are certainly moments when I
am carried away entirely by the force and
the reality Of the situation I am trying to
represent, but as rule I believe I keep
every part of the stage in my eyes and an
ticipate every word am expected to utter.
But let me tell you of an experience I had
with a certain leading woman of great
physical beauty and wide professional repu-
tation. The rehearsals were gone through
in the usual mild and perfunctory way, and
it was not until the first nights performance
that I discovered the peculiarity Of the
stars artistry.
AN ARTIST IN HEART.
Before that beautiful woman had bestowed
upon me half the caresses that the play de-
manded she had made me believe she was in
love with me. After getting into my street
clothe. presumed to wait in the wings
to says a goodnight word to her. She came
out Of her dressing room looking as pale
and stately rs queen. I advanced and
congratulated her, with some embarrassment
of manner, upon her apparent success.
well, hope the house like me-" she
said with perfect complacency. I feel in
debted to you, for carrying several of the
scenes so effectively. And now am going
to ask favor of you. You wore q false
beard tonight. Now, I can not abide such
thing. 1t was very painful indeed Tor
me to perform the kissing business owing to
that beard tonight, and if you will kindly
leave it off believe shall be able to instiil
into my part far more naturalness. Please
take no otfense, sir; only want to get
everything as pleasant and real as possible.
''She bowed a polite goodnight. and I
knew instantly that the woman was an un-
common artist. Every time I played with
her was made the victim OF ardent caresses
but during my entire association with the
actress never got to know her except as my
employer and professional coadj utor. I
really think that she was an artist in heart
as we'll as education.
A VISIT TO CARMEN SYLVIA.
Pertinent to the subject of women's de-
meanor have had letter from the Queen
of Roumania. Well, not directly from Her
Majesty, you know, but from Emily Faith
iuli, who had just visited her. And it had
a favor of interested exploitation, too. for it
was addressed to the President of the Soro-
sis, and it squinted toward boom for the
Queen in this country. She writes books,
under the name Of Carmen Sylvia, and she
would like to have them published and
read in America. In her letter Emily
Faithful says:
Before had we'll crossed the threshold,
the kindly nature and ready tact of the
Queen was revealed. There were but six
stairs between my sitting room and the

of the shaggy, jaunty
gown which a striking
lady wore on the
promenade these sunny
days, yet SO curiously
interviewer are the
threads of the cloth, so
soitened by the dark,
rough hairy stripes
which appear upon it,
that its effect is rich
and elegant, rather than
brilliant, says the New
York Sun. The skirt
fits closely about the
hips, where the pleats
which form the slight
fulness at the hem are
stitched fiat. The bod
ice and sleeves are
loosely folded, save
about the waist line,
where the corsage effect
is given, and at the
wrists. Passementerie.

THE AUTUMN DINNER PARTY.

coming pack TO nome usageS ana my
readers own feminine usages, let me tell
you that, II you intend to give a swell din
ner this autumn, You must devise original
effects. For instance, you must issue invi-
tations for diner d'automne and trim your
dining room with autumn leaves OF the
brightest hues obtalnable. Then in the GEN.
ter OF your table you must place huge
epergne, which you must load down with
fruit set off with leaves; and at each of the
four corners of the table you must place
large silver or china candelabrum, about
the arms of which trail white, black and
purple grapes. Festoons OF these grapes
must reach to the cloth and end at the base
of the epergne. No flowers must be visible:
all leaves and vines in the rich tints SO
plentiful in October and November.
Your sorbets and ices must all simulate
fruit of various kinds. For boutonniers
make use OF colored leaves, and Tor fayors
distribute pins of enameled leaves to the
ladies and grains OF yellow corn set in
guise of scarf pins to the gentlemen. Dinner
cards should have a spray OF autumn leaves
with some kind of iruit painted in the cor
ner, and your guests should be requested to
use vines and leaves in trimming their din
ner toilets. A figure of the goddess Ceres
should be prominent on the mantel and be
appropriately hung with vines and festoons
OF tiny apples and nuts.
THE sEMI-ANNUAL MIGRATION.
We are all literally or the move now.
October is only second TO May In its process
sions of loaded vans, express wagons, one
horse trucks and hand wheelbarrows bearing
our household goods to new temples. Twice
a year the spirit OF change holds sovereign
sway, and this professional tribute goes
through the streets in token OF our loyalty
to its commands. Only those who own their
houses are exempt from the calls Of this
spirit and even they are coming to town

took of the carpet hammer fills the air. But
if you consider the dust as SO much cloudy
incense ascending to our household Lares
and Penates, and the tick-tock the echo OF
dancing feet of invisible home fairies-why,
you will be like all the rest Of us, immensely
jolly in this monstrous moving time.
MEN LAST THE LONGER.
Why. oh why, do our city fashionable
women go to pieces so early in life, while
our men, even if they do get fat and bald,
still look neat and dapper, and have q style
about them until overtaken by the seventies?
Take New York debutante of the Neal
lister set, dainty and delicate as miniature
on ivory, with teeth like pearls, skin like
the petal of q rose, eyes full of warmth and
feeling, figure ravishingly beautiful and
her whole being breathing intelligence,
sympathy and spirituality. Yet at % with
a married life of two or three years, they
begin to fade; at 80 the bloom is gone; at 35
they are passe; at 40 they are old women.
But not so the man about town. At 40 he
is still erect as fashion plate; at 30 his hair
and teeth begin to go, but not so his spright-
illness, his interest in things, his elbow
touch with the spirit of the times. In a
word, as he grows old in the flesh, he seems
to brighten intellectually, and that, mind
you, is the secret of his perennial bloom.
His breezy, CHEEKY way deeeives you. He
acts like man OF 80, and as lis rotundity in
creases, he wraps his toga tightly around
him and straightens up like boy of 49,
He is as constant to his bath tub as he is to
his sweetheart, and speaks as affectionately
to his tailor and barber as if they were his
own brothers. He is careful what he eats,
and when he eats it, drinks sparingly, sleeps
nine hours daily, and is as neat with his
hands as girl. He is regularly manicured,
pedicured, and massaged. All this costs
him Il heap OF trouble, but egadl he gets his
reward. CLARA BELLE.
