NEW YORK. Sept. Ill am planning to
tell you about a barn party, and also about
the first costumes finished for autumn.
The barn party shall come first, by your
leave. 1t was given at Ienox, and those
of us who went from New York to enjoy it
found the big, lofty, sweet-smelling barn
full of clover hay piled high on
the mows and hung with draperies of
gay print in rcd and white strips ssught up
with long red ribbons. Bunches of brown
e%attails. oats, grasses, golden rod and
cardinal flowers were placed against the
hangings. IT was q new barn and tho floor
was a fine solid one Of matched pine planks.

terms hung from the ~rafters. Benches and
settees were ranged against the walls and
were covered with fur rugs, buffalo robes,
bright-colored lap robes and gay shawls.
There were colored fddlerg on the little
platform built up in on one corner for the
musicians, and the costumes Of the fresh
faced girls who whirled in the waltz were
notably pretty, perhaps because almost in
yariably simple.
One young girl wore q plain full white
muslin skirt, with waist and short p~aniers
of pink lawn and full white muslin sleeves.
Her straw poke bonnet was lined with pink
tulle and trimmed with pink roses.

aside wholly, even during the hottest of the
summer for the early days of fall. The
prettiest perhaps are those of black cooks

queer enough to be true. They say--they
who al ways speak with such anonymous yet
irresistible nuthority-thatl long gold chains
will be worn about the neck, carried to the
left shoulder, then to the waist and SO to the
watch pocket, after the fashion of many
years ago.
Millinery is not yet shown in any quanti-
ty, but white felt sailor hats are cot in
force, and are trimmed with brown birds or
wings, and with long wells of white crepe,
which come from the back and fold about
the throat most p~icturesquely.
1t is long since there was an autumn with
out a turban, and this autumn sees thou
sands of turbans, all with straight brims,
pointed in front and most with dome
shaped crown. A brown-turban that
was brought out for my benefit this NOM
ing was trimmed with a nest-like bow of
brown ribbon over which lowered a rare
and many-co,ored bird-made from the
pickings probably of several sorts Of poor
dead warblsrs-with diamond eyes.

Do you care for autumn leaves? Up at

and the Fox is still kept open, and Mrs.
Candace Wheeler ana her fellow artists and
literary folk will remain until quite cold
weather. n most homelike sitting-ro O in
one OF the cottages has been glorified this
week by the first of the maple branches that
had turned yellow. and the first of the oak
leaves that have turned red and bronze.
Each leaf has been pressed and spread open
and attached with a little glue to the pale,
creamy brown wall, making a frieze that is
aQlow with color, and seemed the one thing
that was needed to complete the effect of
the open fireplace, the deep window seats and
the dark oak finish of woodwork and furni-
ture. The leaves, the artists say, will last
even through the winter, and will not lose
| life or color or turn dull.
But ] meant to tell you what We are to
wear. Mony of the autumn dress goods are
very rough in texture. They show stripes
and chscks and big startling patterns.

by a young woman who looked like Lillian
Russell. 1t was a white muslin printed with
fall asters in shades of pale purple and lilac
and worn over an underdress of lilac silk. The
muslin was rather oddly founced with a
light e~uipure lace, and this was caught up
p%rettily, if not altogether by necessity. with
~rosettes of lilac ribbon. The bodice was
made of guipure inse ton and muslin.

the southwest corner of tho cellar is the

Could it be that she looked forward to

CHAPTER XII.
5 ALLIE MATCHIN

a LIE NJ n = III y.
Mrs. Harry Trent, widow of the late
diamond merchant and formerly Sallie
Matchin, arrived at the counts residence
late in the afternoon, in order to talk
over the arrangements with him. She
was dressed for the dinner, but wore a
silken wrap over her arms and shoulders.
She was somewhat thinner than when
we last saw her, but not less handsome;
her finely nodded face was of the pure
patrician type. Its expression was i'm
passive, but it was easy to see that this
was the result of resolute training.
There was passion underneath; you
could see the latent sparkle of it in her
black eyes and, now and then, in an IN
conscious movement of the lips. Her
dress was of golden hued satin, set off
with black lace, so az to give her Span
ish look. Whether or not the role she
had assumed for this evening were in
good taste from the society point of view,
she undoubtedly was as well fitted to
undertake it, on the score of beauty, dig
