STYLES FOR AUTUMN.
Ladies' Toilets Will BE More Becomi
Than Evar

Ladies' Toilets viii BE More Becoming
Than Ever Before.
| Cashmeres and soft woolens woven in
| diagonal effects are the first choice for
autumn, and brocaded designs are
prominent in all classes of goods Bor-
dered goods have not lost their prestige,
large sized polka-dots being favorite
design for the brocading which forms
the border, the same pattern, in smaller
size, being powdered" over the remain
der of the fabric
Early importations of autumn mill
linery display the same picturesque eff
fects that lent such a charm to the sum-
mer hats. There are the same deep
front brims, short or turned-up backs
and low crowns, and aggressive butter
! hy-bows of satin or velvet ribbon are
poised as lightly on crown or brim as
their prototypes in lace rested amid
flowers during the past season, but the
flowers are replaced by a profusion of
ostrich feathers and tips On many the
trimming is massed on and about the
crown as on the 'crownless" hats, and
others have the greater portion at the
back and extending around one side to
the edge of the front brim; but regard
ing the majority, the arrangement of
the trimming renders 1t difficult
to decide whether the crown is
rounded or fat or omitted alto
gether. Toques with narrow reversed
brims at the sides and turned up high
and close at the back. also various tur-
ban shapes appear; and all these are re-
produced in velvet, felt and the straws
that will be used for the early autumn.
In the latter, black braids have the
preference, with garniture in brilliant
tints.
The favorite black note is contributed
to other materials by jet ornaments in
striking designs, and by black birds and
wings which are very effectively com
bined with ostrich feathers. All-bIack
hats of velvet. ostrich feathers and Jet,
have their somberness relieved by the
addition of brilliant-colored birds.
Black straw toques are trimmed with
bright-colored plaid ribbon, and fancy
ribbons in satin and brocade are used by
themselves or in com bination with other
garnitures.
The new color-cards indicate contin-
ued popularity for brilliant tints. A
rich deep garnet with purplish tint is
the darkest shade OF red, marking the
dividing line between it and purple, and
the shad es pass through var Gus tints Of
cardinal to the brilliant poppy-red; and
there are lava tints that promise to be
very fashionable. Demorest's Maya
zine.

THE SMALL BOYS BEHIND.

With clash, and blare. and boom and beat,
The big processinn marches.
Through the lane OF applause, through the
shouting street,
And under the towering arches;
They march as grand as a conquering host,
With many plume and banner,
As Sherman's army marched to the coast,
And into the streets OF Savannah.
And the sun that giiRts from their helmets
bright
VIII dazzle and CLEAN, and blind
But there follows them, like a string TO kite.
The small boys who tag on behind
The small boys who tag on behind, the small
boys who tag on behind.
The best OF the show, I would have you all
know,
Is the small boys who tag on behindi
rabble that wobbles and tumbles about
Like bummers who bring up the rear,
They iostle and giggle and quarrel and shout
And boot and isngle and jeer;
But watch for the glad ragamufin parade,
For the brave little barefooted bummers,
And leave the crowd for the Boys Brigade,
And leave the ifers and drummers.
March on. my lads, for the route is long,
And the way is hard to find.
There's long march ahead for the brave and
strong,
And small boys who tag on behind
The small boys who tag on behind the small
boys who tag on behind.
Long, long must you tread. through the grim
days ahead.
You small boys who tag on behind

son cloth and gold was on his head, and
beneath this descended the long, silvery
locks that betokened his extreme age.
On the other side of the fire, sat, sur
rounded by her handmaidens, the
Baroness de Courcy, a pale and sorrow
STRICKEN lady of apparently not half the
age of the baron. At last the sound OF
trumpet echoed through the hall.
''It is hei it is Victorl" exclaimed the
Baroness, glancing at her husband.
Victor de Courcy was twenty-five
years old; handsome and well-built
figure, a bold and martial bearing, a
frank and open countenance we'll be-
came the splendid armor he wore
and the military profession he had
adopted.
Father" he said, bowling before the
old Baron, you sent for me, and am
here"
"You are tardy." replied the Baron,
coldly. "You knew the castle was
menaced by enemies"
'"And | have reached it before them,"
was Victor's reply. mother" he
added, rushing to the side of the Baro-
ness, ''you, at least, have a welcome for
your sonr'
"Why did you not come hither soon
er?'' asked the Baron, sternly. Your
presence might have held the knights
of Valmont in check"
Would it have prevented my brother
Eustace from hunting on their lands
from beating their vassals and driving
off their cattle?" asked Victor, haugh-
tily.
"Whence get you these falsehoods of
your brother?" asked the Baron,
fiercely.
From the complaints of the knights
of Valmont before the throne of Philip
Augustus.
do you believe the charges of your
enemies?"
Before the King l said they lied.
Before you, father, l confess that l be-
lieve them true"
"Are you come hither to sustain
them?"
II come hither to fight them. They
shall not touch stone of the castle,
while l remain between them and the
ramparts."
"ft is we'll" said the aged Baron.
There was a silence for some mo-
ments and Eustace, the son of the
old noble by his first wife, entered.
The wrctched young man came before
his father with an unsteady step-his
ewes were blood-shot and his face was
flushed with drinking-he had fallen
from his horse, and his garments were
covered with mud. A flush of anger
colored the pale cheeks Of the old
warrior, but he uttered not word Of
reproach against his favorite but I'M
worthy son.
Hal" exclaimed Eustace. MY
brother here. knew not this. Let
me clasp you to my heart, Victor"
But the young man stood with folded
arms.
''victor!' exclaimed the Baron, stern
ly, embrace thy brotheri"
Victor obeyed; but the ceremony
ended, he called page, and said, dis.
dainfully:
Wipe this filth from my armor. The
purest steel will rust and tarnish II

defend its master"
The Baron was preparing to make an
angry comment on this speech when a
trumpet again sounded without the
castle, and he rose with an effort to his
feet, and thus addressed Victor dc
Courcy:
"You are summoned home, sir, for s
double purpose. In the first place, to
guard the chateau against the menaced
attack of enemies, which / am too
feeble to repel and chastise; and in the
second place to be present at the nup-
tials of your brother"
Eat the nuptials of my brother?"
Eyes, Victor" stammered Eustaoe,
swish me JOY"
"And the lady?" asked Victor.
"You will know her soon enough, I"
said the Baron. with smile of peculiar
meaning.
At this moment the folding doors at
the lower part of the hall were thrown
open, and, surrounded by pages and at
tendants, beautiful and richly attired
lady entered.
Blanche de Montreuilr' mutteied
Victor, as his eye rested for a
moment on her features, this is too
much"
This is marriage of my making"
said the Baron, leading Victor forward
to the lady. "Have I not been happy
in my choice? Lady Blanche, this is nay
second son."
The lady gazed for an instant on the
young knight; and then, with faint
cry, sank back in her chair. Erminia
bent over her and then motioned to her
husband and sons to retire.
1t was midnight-a wild storm was
bowling over the turret of the Chateau
de Courcy. Victor. in whose breast a
storm of passion, fierce as the strife of
the elements without, was raging,
strobe up and down in lonely corridor

Victor soon regained the bedside Of
his father. beside which his mother was
seated.
"Father motherr' cried the young
man. II have returned to bid you
adieu. Perhaps, if in the rude and peril
Gus career to which have devoted my
self my life may be spared, at some fut-

'Of what avail is it?' asked the
Baron, coldly. Depart and leave me

asked Victor. in tones of deep sorrow.

chicks of different ages. The cracks on
sides and back of house are stripped with
lath; the inside of house is lined with tar
paper, and the roof and front PAINTED
with cheap mineral paint, which rem
ders the house waterproof as the boards
are tongue and grooved. This makes 1t
warm enough for almost any latitude.
For the south the strips and tar paper
might be dispensed with. The slant O.
sash Is sufficient to shut out the perpen-
dicular rays of the sun in summer and
food the whole floor with warmth in
winter.
An outside door and gate in the par
tition make the whole house of easy &C
cess. The small doors for fowls are
made on the trap door principle, and
opened and closed by cord attached to
the fastening bolt, which is heavy enough
to fall into place when the cord is slack
ened. Sufficient scrap pieces will be left
to make feed, dust and nest boxes, and
the inside arrangements can be made to
suit the owner. The floor is earth,
packed hard and covered with gravel
ON top of which, for young chicks, scat
ter grass.
1t will readily be seen this plan can be
extended an indefinite length by the ad-
dition of three posts every ten feet to
support the roof.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
The South Forging to the Front as
Steel Maker.
Manufacturers Record.1

During the last ten years, while the
South has been forging ahead SO rapid
ly in iron production, It has constantly
been urged that this section could never
make steel, But in the past few months
this fallacy has been exploded. The
Manufacturers RccorA has held all
along that the South would lead the
world in steel making; that it could
not be otherwise with our innumerable
deposits of itch steel making ore and
exhaustless supplies of coke making
coal. We have the satisfaction this
week of announcing that a contract
has been signed for the location of
basic steel works, with capacity of
800 tons day,to be built Immediately
at Middlesborough, Kentucky. The
contract calls for the investment Of 81, =
900, 900 in furnaces and the steel plant.
Last week we reported the organization
of a million dollar company to build
at Greensboro, N. c., Bessemer iron
furnace, to be followed by Bessemer
steel works. And, as stated some
months ago, the Southern Iron Com
pany, which owns seven or eight fur
naces and several hundred thousand
acres of mineral land, will build large
steel works at Chattanooga, work to
commence about January 1st. This
will be basic plant. In connection
with this plant at Chattanooga, this
Company proposes to construct a tin
plate mill, as the quality of steel it will
make will be admirably adapted to
this kind of work. Bessemer pig iron
is being made at Talladega, Ala, and
it has been satisfactorily tested at Car
negie's works at Scranton, Pa, at
Chicago, H., and elsewhere. These
are the signs of the times. They tell of
a steel-making future for the South as
bright as the record already made in
pig iron production.
