cd waist is worn with this skirt and
beltcd in with one of those arrange
ments in kid, which is properly called
girtlle.
A dress that is simple but decidedly
jaunty withal is of homespun in red
russell brown. The skirt is plain, with
n deep hem around the bottom. The
bodice is yoke waist and fastened on
to the skirt. There is deep collar of
fine Russian leather, the cuffs arc
turned back and are of the leather, as
is also the belt, which is perfectly
plain. A brown felt sailor hat and
Russia leather tramping shoes COM
pletc costume as pretty as it is unique.
Another gown which is like unto this,
although somewhat different, is of
darkest navy blue. 1t is made after Il
similar model and is supplied with n
sailor collar and cuffs of white Bedford
cord. In place of n girdlc, the skirt
is gathered upon a very heavy white
cord, to which the blouse waist is also
sewed. This makes light and jaunty
suit, and is one which will be n favor
lite with women who wish to go upon
cruising tours and wish n gown which
is light, comfortable and pretty withal.
Bedford cord is more popular than
ever. Ribbed goods come in the hand
soonest materials and bid fair to rival
the habit cloths They are in all colors
and in figures and stripes, as we'll as
the plain ribbed material of last sea-
son. These figures look especially well
made up in gown that has n coat eff
feet.
A frock with decidedly chic air
about it is of gray Bedford cord, so
closely resembling corduroy that at a
glance it is difficult 20 discover the diff
ference. The habit skirt is perfectly
plain in front, with not even fold to
mar the severe effect; while in the back
it is arranged in full, soft plaits, and
extends just far enough to allow for a
short-a very short-train.
There is blouse shirt-waist of pom
gee, made not very full and belted in by
broad silver belt; this is plain with
not even buckle for ornament. Under
the collar of the blouse, lsnotted loosely,
is a fourin-hand tie of pale blue surah.
A blazer of Bedford cord completes the
costume.
Another pretty fall toilet is combi-
nation of brown and tan. The skirt
and coat are of brown Bedford cord.
The coat is close fitting in the back and
has deep rcvers in front, showing a

even the shape of the coming hat is I'M
decided as yet. The manufacturers are
cndeavoring to initiate the summer
hats in felt, but it is uncertain whether
they will be able to get the little flutes
and angles which were produced in the
straw.
So keep your old bonnet and make up
your mind to wear it month longer.
Freshcn it up by altering the trimming
little. If the flowers have become
faded and soilcd, replace them either
with wings or birds; change the ribbons
slightly and you have a fetching fall hat
and one you know is becoming.
A bunch of poppies and wheat
brighten up brown straw rough and
ready; or the same hat, with few rib
bon and velvet bows, and a brown
pheasant, make pretty symphony in
browns. A dark blue chip Is renovated
by bit of blue velvet and bunch of
small white tips or wings. If you have
Il white felt hat or one of pearl gray,
even if it has seen service during the
summer, bring it out and trim it with
black.
If the hat is one of the large, soft felt
ones. put two black birds on it; if it is
small, use for your only trimming n
black ribbon band, and a large jet
buckle. Small bonnets are always pop
ular. They remain with us season after
season, and bid fair to be worn more
than ever this autumn. Most of them
are not much more than small bunch
of flowers, but they fulfill the duty
which is required of them-they are
comfortable and the y are becoming.

Keep tho BED Dry.

1t is not everybody who can make q
bed well. Beds should be stripped OF
all belongings and left to air thorough
ly. Don't, however, leave a window
open directly upon the bed and linen,
with fog or rain prevailing outside.
1t is not uncommon to see sheets and
bedding hanging out of IL window with,
rain perhaps, not actually falling, but
with ninety per cent of humidity in the
atmosphere, and the person sleeping in
that bed at night wonders the next day
where he got his cold. A room may be
aired in moist weather, but the bedding
and bed must not absorb any damp

closc-fitting waistcoat. The waistcoat
is tan broadcloth; it extends but short
distance below the waist line, and is
fastened by large brown buttons. The
neck is left open little to show IL col
larctte and Il four-in-hand tic of brown
surah The rcvcrs arc tan and form
the collar OF the coat proper. With this
gown is worn hat of brown, coarse
straw. IT is trimmed with wings of
coarse embroidery and loops of brown
and ccru ribbon; these with small
brown bird almost cover the crown of
the hat. The gloves arc heavy walking
ones, and arc OF the same shade of tan
to match the dress.

lcopYI,IGur. 1891. !


In these cool, delicious fall days walk
ing, or rather tratnping, is the favorite
exercise.
1t is necessary to have n walking cos
tune, and one appropriate to the sea-
son. 1t will not do to don the mountain
dress or boating suit that has seen hard
service during the summer. The froclz
must first and foremost be suitable for
what you want it-no frills, no furbc-
lows, no material that will not bear
wetting or is easily soiled.
Cheviot, serge or some light but warm
wool fabric is best liked for such Il
dress. Russct brown, wood brown,
green or blue make mp prettily; checks
are occasionally used, but the solid col
ors have Il decided preference.
The skirt is plain, but fuller than the
present style, is simply hemmcd and
just escapes the ground. A loose, plait-

A Row on North Alabama Street.

Wednesday night about p. IN. some
excitem ent was created on North Ala
bama street by l.. N. Bunch entering
the house of Mr.. C. Il. Collins while
under the influence of liquor and rails
ing considerable disturbance therein.
Sergeant Frier was sent for and arrested
and jailed Mr.. Bunch. who on Thursday
morning confessed judgement to viola
ing section 10 of the town ordinances.
for which he was fined S. and costs by
Councilman Thomas I. Preston, acting
in the absence of the mayor.
Later on Mr.. Bunch was brought be
fore Magistrate Weber on warrant
sworn out by A. Is. Collins. charging
him with "unlawfully entering the
dwelling house OF the said a. Il. Collins
on the night of November 4th and max.
ing an assault upon Mrs. r. n Rmnch.
accompanied with threats to kill the
said Mrs. l.. n. Bunch" To this charge
he confessed Judgment, and, after
few words of advice from the magis-
trate, was fined $3.50 and costs, which
Mrs. Bunch paid.

brown or II green, and you cannot go
amisS. These arc the colors that are
going to be worn. They como in many
shades and in all kinds of materials, so
you will he able to suit both your com
plcXion and your purse. You may have
your gown made of different shades of
the same color, or of contrasting colors.
Green and Il dull Indian-rcd make
pretty contrast; chestnut brown with
the red also makes IL good combination.
BE careful in combining different col
ors to avoid glaring contrasts. Do not
aim ut striking effects. The uuobtru-
sive gown is the swell gown, one that
fits perfectly and is made to suit your
particular style. Black still holds its
own. Black Bedford cords are more
popular than ever, and come both in
plain ribs and in fancy stripes.
y gown which appears light and airy,
and yet is heavy enough to be comfort
able, may be made of black Bedford
cord. Very deep cuffs may be fash
toned of embroidery and fitted on so
that they arc tight to the elbow. The
front of the waist may be also trimmed
with embroidery. A deep rufIle of some
kind of black goods-surah makes a
very graceful ruffling-is fitted to the
lower edge of the bodice and also
around the bottom of the skirt. Fes-
toons of the surah are used as head
ing for the surah ruffling, and the skirt
is trimmed with long, diagonal slash
ings, let in of the same surah.
Black wooden goods are made up with
some bright color, either with another
dress material or with jet or passemen-
terie trimmings. Black and red, black
and gilt, black with little, very lit
tic grccn-any of these harmonic we'll
and make Il decidedly pretty gown
Discretion must be brought to bear,
and whatever color is combined with
black gown should be used in moder-
alton.
A very little of vivid red or bright
gilt goes long way. BE little care
full; have the sombcrness of your black
froclS relieved by the bright bit of
color, but do not allow it to have the
appearance of a gypsy costume.
Blue is on the decline; that is, the
dark shades that were worn during the
Summer. Porcelain blue is the new
shade; this is clear bright blue, some
what llBhter IMAM nerlnO. 1ncre Is
decided tendency towards the lighter
shades of gray and coral. A combina-
tion of Henrietta cloth in pale coral
and heavily corded with silk makes n
handsome dinner dress. A pale French
gray in cloth and bengalinc makes a

The QUEEN TOASTED.
Ths American .Conamissioners Enthusi.
aeticalIys Received.


LONDON, July 29-rThe luncheon to the
foreign committee Of the Columbian fair
commission was most gratifying Ia the
evidence Of cordial British interest in the
fair. The British guests included host
Of celebrities, and every member OF the
royal commission was present Major
Butterworth presided. The president of
the United States and the queen were duly
toasted amid great enthusiasm.
Major Butterworth and Messrs. Peck
and Handy spoke in grateful terms of the
hospitality with which the COMMITTEES had
been received, and explained the object of
the fair
Minister Lincoln, who was frequently
interrupted by applause, related how cor.
daily Lord Salisbury had met his over
lures on the subject Of a proper represen-
tation Of Great Britain at tho fair. He
was authorized to announce that any pro.
vision Of American law bearing adversely
to alien importations that might be con
strued TO operate against exhibitors would
be amended in such a way as to remove
any such objection, and every facility
would be extended TO foreign exhibitors.
Chicago, he said, had never yet failed in
any public undertaking, and never would.
The most significant speech of the even
ing was that Of Viscount Cross, member
Of the cabinet, as well as a trusted per
sonal adviser Of the queen. There Is no
doubt that the viscount spoke with au-
thority from the cabinet He said he
wished to assure the committee In the
strongest terms that Great Britain was
heartily and entirely with the United
States in this celebration, and that every
thing within the ability Of the govern.
ment would be done to insure the best pos.
sible representation Of the United King.
dom, OF India and OF the colonies. He
promised the heartiest cooperation Of the
government. This utterance evoked great
enthusiasm.
Cunliffe Owen said he was convinced
that the Chicago fair would excel any
previous undertaking OF the kind There
fore the Society Of Arts was resolved TO
see Great Britain properly represented
Sir Richard Webster promised the hearth
est assistance Of England
Mr.. Gladstone wrote to Major Butter
worth.
II cannot doubt that the exhibition will
tend TO materially advance commercial
intercourse between nations, aRd there
with those sentiments of friendship which
are the usual result. / hope that those
who come after me will SEQ the industrial
glory Of America freed from every fetter,
and her unparalleled national resources
turned TO the best account"
Chauncey M. Depow wrote, wishing ev.
cry success to the committee, and express
ing every regret that he could not be
present.
Mr. Owen said that the importance OF
the presence and speech Of Vscount Cross
could not be overostimated It meant
thatthe queens government gave its full
weight and influence to the fair. The
committee will proceed to Paris in the
morning, where various courtesies will bo
