Buy q secondhand Boat.

When 10y has learned to sail
boGt. and has discovered how very de-
Igiltiul sailing is, he is sure to wish for a
yacilt OF his own; nor is he likely to be
content until the desire for ownership
shall have been satisfied by actual pos
session. The chief obstacle with which
he has to contend, Of course, is the
cost. fer yachts are expensive toys, and
not every one can afford to purchase
them. But careful and patient per-
son may, nevertheless, possess himself
of Il small yacht if he will buy with
discretion and st the right season of
the year, which is the autumn.
Iachtsmen are drou fellows; they
build costly boats. use them year or
two and then sell them for any price
they can secure, often less than quar-
ter OF their original cost. Therefore, /
ssy that the ownership of nice little
yacht is rot beyond the possibilities If

Fashion Notes.

Fancy beaded side pieces and crowns
show tcauti.al designs carried out in
beads and spangles.
Fancy feathers are shown in large
quar- titles and can safely be promised
as good through tine fall and winter
Fine short heads in ostrich tips are
used in elegant trimming effects.
Buckle effects are noticed in jet
and steel, also Rhinestones and
brooches of moonstones are set in ap-
parent diamonds.
White satin or repped silk is suitable
for the wedding dress of bride OF ~
years.

A prospective bride should use the

ported dresses of India cashmere,

Gathered founces. rose ruches, cab

gowns are quite plain.
The fashion journals say that new

woman who can't afford TO have any

Buttons are considerably used as
carniturc. On the skirt they are put
on as obvious fastenings to some JOIN

the basuues and coats in neat rows
with uniform effect
Braid is arranged in a single row Oh

everything. These bowknots are

New princesse dresses for youthful
