NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.

Few Hints on the Latest Additions to
Dress.
Birds and birds wings and breast
feathers are largely used on autumn
toques, turbans and close French bon.
nets. r.. /
The autumn wraps have nearly all OF
them wide sleeves shaped to 60 on com.
fortably over the full sleeve of the
gown. Some of the coats themselves
are made with a bishop sleeve gathered
into deep Cromwellian cuff of fur or
velvet.
Fine French flannelette in gray,
cream or ecru makes admira BILE night
gowns for children during the winter;
and the combination garment, though
not so pretty as muslin trimmed with
embroidery, is of greater benefit, and
requires little care beyond thorough
washing.
Costumes of fancy wollens with very
light grounds, gray, ecru, mastic, mush'
room color, amber-brown, ETC., crossed
with the silkiest of shaggy bars in
mixed colorings-often scarlet, green
and gold-or in checks, stripes and
blurred detached patterns, are made up
in jaunty styles, many of them too
fanciful for any but youthful wearers.
The reign of every sort of vest is pro-
longed by permission of the taiIors,
who still introduce blouse-vests beneath
loose-fronted coats. Vests are even
worn with riding-habits, but in this
case are severely cut, and do not allow
of variation at will. Black, blue and
green self-colored cloths are not the
only colors permitted the equestrian.
There are blue cloths figured with tiny
shaggy dots, which are a charming va
riety.
Felt hats in shaggy camel's-hair ef-
fects, also felt notified, heather-mixed,
shot, and ombred, are brought out, to
be worn en- suite with tailor costumes
of similar pattern. The sailor hat is
again among the list, also the familiar
Alpine shape with it's dented crown
considerably lower than formerly. A
neat and very becoming modification
Of that old prime favorite, the English
walking hat, has appeared, less narrow
on the front, and not rolled closely to
the crown on the sides, making it more
than ever becoming to slender-faced
women, to whom the shape, like tho
Frech turban. is always boon.
Some very pretty laced boots, with
an extra-high Spanish instep, are made
ready for late autumn and winter wear.
These are graceful in outline with a
moderately high heel, and with room
enough in the shoe for it's wearer to
walk normally. Many women are ig-
norant of what constitutes really
beautiful foot. So that it is small, they
suppose that there is nothing more to
I've desired. The new laced shoe has q
slightly projecting sole, which is a
| feature of many of the new models.
The wide sole eventually gives the foot
narrower appearance than that which.
wanting in width, allows the sides Of
the foot to crowd over, and very soon
the whole shoe loses its original out
lines and the feet look distorted in con-
sequence. 1t is always we'll to select a
shoe little longer than the foot; it inn
parts a look of slenderness and grace,
which short, stubby shoe never does.

PETER has stepped into Senator Ingalls,
shoes with a vengeance. Not content with
taking Ingalls, place in the senate. Mr..
PETER has had his predecessors committee
room assigned to his use during the three
months which he will spend in and near
the capital city while converting this Sec
tion of the country to fiat money and gov
eminent loans on real estate security. The
trict of columbia may be best described as
an ''iridescent dream of politics." Senator
Ingalls, had it constructed a few years ago
to suit his own ideas. The space inclosed
was once the main corridor Of the senate,
and part of it was occupied by the post
office. Where the letter boxes were is now
n handsome marble mantel, s~urmounted
by a rich mirror. A fire of hickory wood
burns on a pair of cleaning brass irons.
The great chandelier once ornamented the
White house. Over the Brussels carpet is a
great Turkish rug of the finest texture. and
about the room are easy chairs of the most
comfortable description. The day before
Senate Ingalls, term expired he reduced
his clerk to the a of messenger, and mp
pointed his son as clerk Mt 80 a day, and

Enlneror of the stage.

New York Recorder: No actor, not even
Edwin Forrest or Joseph Jefferson, ever
trod the stage who is SO generally beloved
and venerated by his professional associates
as is Edwin Booth. Unlike the generality
Of stellar lights, he never put on frills or
airs, and if an actor made mistake in the
business Of the play OF shook in his lines
it is not his custom to fly at him like an
enraged lion the instant he caught him be-
hind the scenes. Carl Ahrendt, now with
Thomas w. Keene, tells good story Illus
trative Of Booths kindness in this respect
On one occaiion he was playing Joseph to
his Richelieu, and in the first act forgot a
cue which called out speech from Rich
elieu which invariably evokes a hearty
round of applause. Turning his back to
the audience, Booth threw him that needed
cue in an undertone. Then Ahrendt gave
it and Richelieu made his needed point.
When they got behind the scenes Ahrendt
apologized, saying: "Mr. Booth, I'm very
sorry. / can't for the life Of me explain
how forgot that cue." III can, \ was the
tragedian's rejoinder. "The fault was
mainly mine. Don't you remember |
skipped couple Of speeches and carried
you by, as it werep DON'T worry about it.
It's all right now. Those who saw Booth
at Billy Florence's funeral breathed many
secret prayer that he might long be
spared, sfthe Emperor of the Stage, as Fa-
ther Brann ftly termed him.

PORTLAND, Dec. 21.-The Bowers Dredg-

and is getting along well with the job Of
filling the long trestle Of the Northern
Pacific below town. This will be completed
about New Years, and then the dredge
will be moved up to below the Madison

Portland. The owners of a large number
Of blocks have already contracted for fill
ing them, and present indications are that
before the work is through about the whole
bottom will be filled. Then the East Side
will have a chance to come to the front in
every sense. The water along the East
Side will be deep and wharves and ware
houses can be built there, and the appear
ance Of that part Of the city greatly I'M

Side will begin to approach in value the
blocks on the West Side when they are
