1T IS feared the democrats have gone all
to pieces In Arkansas and that their disc!-
pliue and morale are conditions of the past.
At the recent election there, even according

things overcome us like summer cloud

And, to give you further proof of the
| fact that there is nothing new IN the
world, that dainty cap is but the top
| and visor of an ancient helmet. In the
| olden time heroes enoased themselves in
| steel, but silk and wool are good enough
for our dear boys, who kick, row. run,
bat and bowl. Possibly Caesar would not
| care for them to lead his legions into
Gaul; but give 'em German to lead
and thev' d cut much finer figure than
Caesars men ever did. While on this sub
jeot of headge'r, let me call your atten-
ton 10 one of those delightful creations
IN felt, feathers and velvet now SO
modlsh. Possibly 1t has an send OF the
century" air about it; but some faces
call for exaggeration. They don't look
natural when TOO natural. Someone de-
scribing very plain looking but withal
stylish woman. remarked: tEvery-
thing turns up about her, even her
nose.''
The stylish hat which is materialized
by the second illustration is in ecru felt
and the velvet bows are in darker
shade of mulberry, and the beautiful
feather trimming which sncircles the
crown may harmonic either with the
felt or the velvet, or be black. Or, you
might vary the arrangement as follows:
Let your felt and velvet be in seal brown
and the feathers black. Silver grays
and pearl grays are very popular, and
they may be garnitured with gray and
delicate pink velvet flowers. Some
faces look very piquant with felts turned
smartly up the ba x; while the "pointed
turban" does better for others. These
turbans are often quite small, and call
for refined and tasteful trim
ming. Velvet ribbon and feath-
ers are much used for them. the
velvet being dotted over with cut
steel. / have noticed some fsIts trimmed
with ribbons in two and even three col
ors. For instance, a black Angola felt
shades-moss green, azalea and
corn color; or q brown felt
with tan, linden green and brown.
Although this rough felt is more suita-
BILE for childrens' aud missed hats, yet
you see them on older heads great
deal and they look well, too, especially
when IN brown or beige, trimmed with
pink or blue. The use of Grape to trim a
felewith is something quite new. For
instance, beige colored felt is bound
with gros grain ribbon to match and en-
circled with creamy Grape, two straight
tawny feathers being set stylishly in the
puff at the back. Pearl gray felts which
are fat in front but turned smartly up
behind are sometimes trimmed with q
torsade of white Grape and two plumes of
white feathers in very effective man
ner.

Rose Grape is the most popular evening

followed. Always guard against having
| the front drawn too closely, by holding
| 1t full in mounting to the belt; and try II
sitting as well as standing before adding
| the drapery. Fit over the hips by taking
out small cores rather than by laying
plaits, il very smooth fit be necessary
A celebrated nodiste has adopted the
plan of gorlng the back breadth to do
| away with fuliness a. the top. This
is done by Il sloped seam in the
middle OF the back. Fifty-four inch
goods is sloped to twenty inches in the
two back breadths. Tive remainder of
the skirt is straight half-breadths of the
cloth separated down the front and on
each side by panels Of cloth of con-
trasting color, each panel about ten
inches wide. The top OF the back
breadths are laid in pleats in the middle
next to the belt, while the fronts are
gathered and carried very far back.
A plaid skirt cut bias is worn with a
solid colored position basque. Lace and
silk, as we'll as lace. silk and velvet, are
also combined into dressy gowns for late
autumn wear. The silk skirt is gathered
full in the back, opening wide in front
over q skirt portion of lace or net, end
ing on the bottom in a flounce headed by
this also opens over guimpe of the lace
with collar and girdle of velvet. Old
rose silk, lchen green velvet and black
lace is an odd mbinatIon noted in q
dressmaking parlor. The back of the
COZ sage was of the velvet, the front of
the silk, nearly covered with lace.
All bodices are cut to give @ slender,
long wasted effect, and to this end side
form seams are straighter and reach al
der seams. For the same purpose the
back seams of the side cores are placed
as far back as the figure will allow,
which gives roundness to tat figure
and makes the waist appear more slen-
der. Shoulder seams reach only to the
tips of the shoulders, and are made to
appear even shorter by having the full
ness of the sleeve caught up over them.
Combinations of two materi ais are still
in high favor. The subdued tones of
the new rough mixtures and plaids min
gle very neatly with some plain shade.
A dress for the street is of navy blue
camel's hair, with one-half of princess
bodice, the front of skirt and sleeves of
blue plaid striped with grays and black.
Small black crochet buttons trim the
skirt, waist and sleeves. The back of
to waist with q large cloth rosetts.
Again a princess gown of solid color has
one front made of figured fabric, the
same being tastefully arranged else
where.

HOUSEHOLD.
A Suggestion TO Housekeepers to Improve
Woman's Hour.

| uggestion to Housekeepers to Improve
| woman's Hour.
| Emancipation has come on q modified
| form to women. and by no class is il
more eagerly sought than by housekeep-
| Spartanlike silent endurance of evils
| that seemed irretrisvable, but now q
| housekseper can at least voice her griev-
snce and hope by Interchange of ideas
| to find solution foc many knotty prob
lens. Like the majority she Is prone TO
seek redress through the printing press, ,
| and while it is powerful force In
moulding public opinion she is liable to
overlook the fact that many evils COM
planned of could find remedy in har-
monious action among women them
selves.
This is the era of clubs. Women have
caught the craze, and there are clubs
literary, art clubs, clubs musical and
social clubs, but not one of these quite
fills housekeepers' want. If house,
keepers club could be successfully en-
gineered it seems as If it might con-
tribute much towards smoothing over
rough places in domestic lie. Cooking
clubs haye not met this need, because
usually they are social rather than prac-
teal, aud maids, not matrous, direct
them. The club that would more nearly
meet the demand would be one where
housewives could meet in unrestrained
freedom. club that gave diuners, not
banquets. where the membership was not
too large nor the dues excessive. Let
each member in turn prepare club din
ner not to cost more than a stipulated
sum, sum that shall be sufficient only
for the purchase of such viands as fit an
everyday table. Let each hostess exert
herself to give variety, elegance and ex-
cellence TO the rspast, and after
ward in open session (uo star
chamber work., criticise the work
as If it were work of art,
housekeeper' conference where various
methods of preparing the dishes are
given, recipes exchanged, and an uu-
embarrassed talk to follow of methods,
perpleXlties and WAYS out OF difficulties.
Let each member come prepared TO give
new recipe or with a new practical sug-
gestiou, and a secretary keep full notes.
These notes carefully sifted aud COM
piled in book form would be house,
Keepers friend and might be source of
revenue to the club, and its sale give
employ ment to worthy women needing
aid. At the return of each anniversary
each member might be required TO pre-
pare their speciality and the club invite
its friends 70 share its hospitality.
This kind of association might pave
the way to a solution of the servant
question, as here would be the orgaui2a-
ton that has been suggested by ladies
writing on this topic. Certain is it that
a credential from such club of practi-
cal housekeepers as to the honesty and
capability of a servant would be of great
value, and it might happen that SER
wants would learn to appreciate it and
strive to deserve and obtain il.

tremelv stylish afternoon toilet worn at
one of the receptions at the Orange
Country club. 1t consists of tuulc in
white foulard, slightly draped round the
waist and caught up like a corsage. The
foulard has insertions of valeDcienues, as
shown in the illustration, and the same
kind of lace is festooned around the bot
tom of the skirt, producing an effect of
extreme style. The hat is quite lend
of the century, 1t is a corn colored
felt, smothered beneath black feathers,
and has narrow strings of black velvet.
This charming toilet was worn by Miss
de B., who is lowering between the full
blow and melancholy days. I don't
know that the costume would look
equally well on less Junonlan beauty,
but it certainly did make her look like
real daughter Of the gods. 1t is needless
to say that bold hunters of the Orange
club forget the quarry when chatting
with her, and that the beauty of the au-
tumnaI foliage paled its Intellectual
glory in her presence. What i. more
beautiful than beautiful woman beau
tifully dressed? 1 don't know, except it
be another more beautiful woman more
beautifully dressed.
At the same reception I noticed sew
eral exquisite wooden dresses, soft, cling
ing fabrics that round out this figure with
most charming effect. They run to
hawthorne, heliotrope, mignonette and
dark green, and some have a narrow fur
trimming which enhances their beauty
greatly and others are garnitured with
gold embroidery and psssementerie of
mock gems, but always in refined taste,
the object being to attain artistic results

CHAT ON FASHION.
American Women Hug the Russian Bear.

American Women Hug the Russian Bear.
Helps to Skirtmaking.
With all an American g boosted scorn
OF royalty and satirical hint that q cat
may look on king. quite number of
American pushes looked on De Joinvllle
and more are preparing for sly peep at
the young Russian czarowitz, who is said
to be coming shortly. This doubtless
has its effect on winter fashions and
populariZes furs on garments that have
now the Russian cut. 1t seems with SO
much Fourth of July blood in the veins
Americans ought to be independent or at
least manifest common sense that would
restrain them from wearing furs in q
climate where the mercury seldom drops
below sixty, but instead of furs and
roses, fans and boas are to be seen in
incongruous juxtapositiou. One thing
has not been introduced from that coun-
try of unoleanness, physical, moral and
intellectual, and that is personal habits.
Fashion still says ''be oleanly and you
will be wholesome, happy and beautl-
full. -
Apropos of what has been said,
astrachan and beaver are fashionable
furs, and jackets and tea-gowns are
favorite styles. One OF the latest pieces
of prettiness 10 a fur-trimmed luncheon
coat. 1t is of cloth, out long and to be
taken of on entering, even though the
bonnet is retained. It ID usually made
double- breasted. tapping in point at
the left brsast--the skirt front caught I'D
as Greek apron. Please imagine this
coat Of light pink and silver brocade.
A handsome plaid dress cut on the
bias impressed me a. being anything but
pretty, and In disasctinR Il the fault was
found to DO in the ont OF the skirt. The
front was drawn tight and like the deool-
lete dress, disclosed too much. Much
prettier is one Of dark blue ladies cloth,
with trimmings OF black braid and astra-
chan. The skirt 10 plain and closely
draped; the front and back draperies are
joined on the left side With ornaments ON
the braid. The jacket ID lined through
