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
tumnal foliage paled its intellectual
glory in her presence. What is more
beautiful than a beautiful woman beau
tifuliv dressed? | don I know, except it
be another more beautiful woman more
beautifully dressed.
At the same reception | noticed sew
eral exquisite wooden dresses, soft, cling
ing fabrics that round out the figure with
most charming effect. They run to
hawthorne, helIotrope, mignonette and
dark green, and some have narrow fur
trimming which enhances their beauty
greatly, and others are garnitured with
gold embroidery and passementerie of
mock gems, but always in refined taste,
the object being to attain artistic results
by elegance of makeup and richness"0f
ornament rather than by the costliness of
the fabric itself.
A heliotrope cloth dress trimmed with
sable tails was particularly stylish. These
were laid on slantingly at short intervals
around the bottom of the skirt, and there
was also snble trimming on the neck and
cuffs. Still smother costume of terra
Gotta cloth had Il deep trimming of
black, large curled astrachan on the
front of the skirt and the Figaro jacket,
also edged with the fur, had a beautiful
black aud gold applique trimming.
But you IL be surprised when | tell yol
that there is movement on foot to add
still another attraction to these enter
tainments at country clubs, and that this
new feature is nothing more nor less than
n revival of that old sport known as
hawking. No doubt you have read of it,
but no reading will give you any idea of
the beauty OF q hawking costume. 1t Is
the very flower of the graceful and pict-
uresque, as a glance at the beautiful en-
semble pictured in the fourth illustra-
ton. Here you have one of the ladies of

Notes.

Rose Grape is the most popular evening
material.
Good society frowns on starch as 1t
does on perfume.
The Louis NVIIl period fashions are
beginning to achieve popularity.
Fur capes are longer this season and
gathered high at the shoulders.
Pretty party bags, used for carrying
the slippers, fan, ETC., are made of
brocade.
New feather trimming has numerous
sparkling beads scattered over IT.
The latest idea in Boston weddings is
to have the pulpit draped to match the
bride s costume.
A new trimming is q poiuted-shaped
belt of black passemeuterie, from which
falls fringe of drops.
Portiere seems difficult word for some
people TO pronounce. Give the last three
lettses the sound of heir.
If young woman receives an invita-
ton to an evening entertainment with
word ''blue' or .'violet' in the left
hand corner and accepts it, she is ex-
pected to wear gown OF the same
color. This affair is called color party

tremelv stylish afternoon toilet worn at
one of the receptions at the Orange
Country club. 1t consists of tunlc in
white foulard, slightly draped round the
waist and caught up like corsage. The
foulard has insertions of valeuciennes, 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 corn-colored
felt, smothered beneath black feathers,
and has narrow strings of black velvet.
This charming toilet was worn by Miss
de Il. who is lowering between the full
blow and melancholy days. | don {

but it certainly did make her look like u

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

"A suggestion 10 Housekeepe-s to improve
woman's Hour.
Emancipation has come on modified
form to women. and by no class is it
more eagerly sought than By housekeep-
ers. These have for ages preserved a
Spartanlike silent endurance of evils
that seemed irretrievabie, but now @
housekeeper can at least voice her griev-
ance and hope by interchange of ideas
TO find solution for many knotty prob
lens. Like the majority che 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 q 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 q 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, and maids, not matrons, direct
them. The club that would more nearly
meet the demand would be one where
housewives could meet in unrestrained
freedom. / CLUB that gave dinners, not
banquets, where the mem bership 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 spch viands as fit an
everyday table. Let each hostess exert
herself to give variety, elegance and eX-
cellence TO the repast, and after
ward in open session quo star
chamber work., criticise the work
as if it were O. work of art,
housekeeper's conference where various
methods of preparing the dishes are
given. recipes exchanged, and an I'M
embarrassed talk to follow of methods,
perplexltes and ways out of difficulties.
Let each member come prepared to give
new recipe or with new practical sug-
gestion, and u secretary keep full notes.
These notes carefully sifted and COM
piled in book form would be q house,
keepers friend and might be Il source of
revenue to the club. aud its sale give
employment 10 worthy women needing
cid. At the return of each anniversary
each member might be required 10 pre-
pare their speciality Gld the club invite
its friends to share its hospitality.
This kind of association might pave
the way TO u solution of the servant
question, as here would be the organiza-
ton that has been suggested BIZ ladies
writing on this topic. Certain is it that
Il credential from such club of practi-
cal housekeeperS as to the honesty aud
capability of Il servant would be OF great
value, and it might happen that ser
wants would learn to appreciate it and
strive to deserve and obtain it.

And, to give you further proof of the
fact that there is nothing new III the
world, that dainty cap is but the top
and visor OF au ancient helmet. In the
olden time heroes enoased themselves i'll
steel, but silk and wool are good enough
for our dear boys, who kick, row. run,
bat end bowl. Possibly Caesar would not
care for them to lead his legions into
Gaul; but give 'em German to lead
and they ID cut much finer figure than
Cpsar's men ever did. While on this sub
ject of headCear, let me call your atten-
ton TO one of those delightful creations
N felt, feathers and velvet now go
modIsh. Possibly it has an lend of the
century, dir about it; but some faces
call for eSaggeratiou. They don't look
natural when too natural. Someone de-
scribing a very plain looking but withal
stylish woman, remarked: "Every-
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 encircies the
crown may harmonic either with the
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 earnitured with gray and
delicate pink velvet flowers. Some
faces look very piguant with felts turned
sinartly up the back; while the "pointed
urban 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 felts trimmed
with ribbons IN two and even three col
ors. For instance, q black Angola felt
trimmed with satin ribbon in three
shndes-moss green, azslea and
corn color: or brown felt
with tan, linden green and brown.
Although this rough felt is more suita-
bic for chlldrens' and misses 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 q
felt with is something quite new. For
Instance, a beige colOred felt ia bound
with gros grain ribbon to match aud en-
circled with creamy Grape, two straight
tawny feathers being set stvlishly in the
puff at the back. Pearl gray felts which
are fiat il front but turned smarty up
behind are sometimes trimmed with
torsads of white Grape and two plumes of
white feathers in a very effective man
ner.
The third illustration pictures an e1-

followed. Always guard against having
the front drawn too closely, by holding
it full in mounting to the belt; and try It
sitting as well as standing before adding
the drapery. Fit over the hips By taking
out small cores rather than by laying
plaits, If very smooth fit be necessary.
A celebrated modiste has adopted the
plan of gor!ng the back breadth to do
away with fuliness at the top. This
is done by 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
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 skirt portion of lace or net, end
ing on the bottom in q fiounce headed by
bands of velvet ribbon. The corsage to
this also opens over guimpe of the lace
with collar aud girdie of velvet. Old
rose silk, lichen green velvet and black
lace is an odd combination noted in
dressmaking parIor. The back of the
cor sage was of the velvet, the front of
the silk, nearly covered with lace.
All bodices are cut to give a slender,
long wasted effect, and to this end side
form seams are straighter and reach al
most and sometimes quite to the Shout
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 fiat 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 subduad 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
princess is arranged in plaits and fastened
to waist with large cloth rosette.
Again q princess gown of solid color has
one front made of a figured fabric, the
same being tastefully arranged else
where.

West Waynesboro Company.

At a meeting Of the West Wayneshoro
Company ON the 18th, Geo. c. Maslin
was elected General Manager. This
means active business and successful
termination. Already stimulus has
been given to the sale of stock, and al
most without effort: one-half of the
shares on the market have been taken.
By Saturday night it is expected the
books will be closed.
The location of these lots is one of the
best in that beautiful section of country.
The property adjoins the town of
Waynesboro, borders on the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad, and will be traversed
its entire length by the proposed street
railway. There is not foot of the land
that is not available for improvement,
and one lot is as desirable as another,
except as to location. OF course there
are preferences in this, but not so mate
rial as to cause much difference in value.
In fact there is no property in Or
around Waynesboro that is not desira-

The Cemetery Road.

The fact that the appropriation of
81 900 for the construction of ma
cadamized road from Staunton to the
National Cemetery is now a fixed fact,
has heretofore been mentioned. Several
suggestions have been made to us about
the course the road should take. To put
all these at rest we will state that the
survey was made before the amount was
fixed, and the amount named to meet
the estimates of the engineers. The
present road bed of the old Waynesboro
road, has been adopted, and it will be
upon that line that the road will be
built. The engineer who made the
survey some time ago, was assisted by
Maj. Jed Hotchkiss, and the whole case
was determined after careful scientific
examination. So it may be taken as
unalterably settled that the cemetery
road will be constructed along the old
road-follow the Waynesboro road bed.
as the most direct, economical and pro
per route to adopt. 1t will start at the
stone bridge at the Valley Depot, within
the corporate limits, and follow a
straight line, as nearly as possible, to the
cemetery
