the prelude to the actual life and gayeiies
that will begin in November, for the care
free denizens of swelldom have not come TO

The proper caper at Tuxedo is to hunt
Grouse and deer abound in the five thousand
acres that belong respectively and collec-
lively to the owners Of Tuxedo Park.
This is the first year, however, the hunt
ers have been allowed TO take a crack at the

numbers that now there will be some lively
chasing.
Newport and Saratoga are still lively

Edwin Stevens, San Franchises favorite
comedian, Is rreSIstibly funny in Indigo"
which is now on the boards at the Casino.
He Is King Indigo, and his thin, Intellect
ual, quaint and cOmIcRl cOuntenauce sur
mounting a tremendously big front OF I'M
meuse giTth is beyond the power Of pen to
describe. His thin, mourntul 'el-egleS'
(which are his legs OF course) add TO the
laughably imposing makeup. He is gorge
uusly clad in light-blue satin aud velvet,
ana skips around with his old-time light
ness, sings in the same Teeitatiye way and
Is tue same winsOme old wag that he ever
was. Indigo Is rather blue. 10 tell the
truth, Stevens and Pauline FAllemand are
Of course the chief attractions. The spec
tacuar effects are delightful and the color
lug exquisite. The Casino is a very gem Of
~ tie tie. You all know Of the lovely roof
garden, up to which one may steal with all
uue proprIety entr' actes and sit beneath the
stars-the stars of heaven OF course-and
listen to the stringe1 band play popular
tunes or old operate melodies, charming be-
cause Of the pleasant memories they recall.
Mr.. james c. Bangs is at the Windsor
Hutel, and is eloquently holding forth upon
ported to say that 1.-THE olive industry Is
Just now one Of intense interest to all farm
rrs Of California" He gave a charming
history of the method of growing the olive,
which was printed in full in Tie Evening
Telegram here. 1t reads like the story OF
the planting, sprouting,
BLOOMING AND FRUITING
OF the magic seed OF an Indian juggler-
but, of course, l can say with perfect truth,
My friends, 1t is true-true as Gospel,

Dressmakers are coming in squads from
abroad, and they are having sorry time of
it with the Custom-heuse officers. They are
like honest Isabell in Howells' story ('rhelr
Wedding Journey }; they don't want to lie
about their goods. but they want TO get out
of II some way without telling tue truth.
One buyers TREASURES that were a delight TO
behold, ami that one could only make
narticulate gruuts and obs and abs of appre-
citation over, had some charming gowns.
This one is pretty enough to tell about. 1t had
a erfectly plain, long, beli-shaped skirt of
deep brown silk, ribbed with threadlike
lines of velvet. a coat basque with long
side lapels that reached to the knees and
were finished with narrow bias fold Of
deep brown silk edged with a narrow piping
of gold made the dress exceedingly stylish.
4 vest Of white lady'S cloth is set in the
basque and finished with plain high collar
Of the same. A eutaway Jacket effect Is
given TO the front, and the edges of the
jacket are finished on the button side with a
trimming of gold balls, and on the button
hole side with gold loops. cuff OF white
lady's cloth peeps out from under the full
plain sleeve, which is made of the same ma
te7ial as the skirt. The coat was lady's
cloth of 2 warm shade OF cafe au lait.
Here's point to comfort fat danes and
make thin ones think. Sleeves of a differ
ent material from the dress have tendency
To make ones arm look smaller This was
utuau hr arfiStp Whn has mazda q lfa-lOnU
study Of the needs Of the fat and thin Sis
ttThOOd.
A lovely long picturesque wrap was made
of deep shade of old rose lady's cloth. 1t
lay on the floor an inch or two, just as the
modern dresses do. 1t had a cape that
looked like big fluffy rufile. The cape was
edged with light shade If old rose and the
top edge Of which was finished with
CORD OF GOLD.
At the waist line from under the side seam
came TWO stTeameTs of the cloth, edged with
the old rose silk to match the cape. These
may be crossed loosely or tied closely in a
bow. The coat looked for all the world liks
a lovely saeque wrapper. A big hat with
five or six beautiful plumes Is to be woln
with this pretty coat. The young woman
who wore it looked sweet enough to be
framed and kept that way ever more. The
sleeves were full plain ones, finished as the
cape. That is the very latest style from
Paris, and l hope this description will in
spire as many who want it to 90 right off
and get one made. and be pictureSquely in
the height OF style.
One enchanting hat was Of gray velvet
that looked as if it had the fuzz of n peach
on it. Il was lined with hunters dark
green velvet. 1t had four lovely soft gray
plumes from the ends Of which peeped out
gray-white plumeS as airy as thistle down.
a TOsette of very vivid nile green satin rib
bon gave the genteel tnts just the touch of
brightness they needed. There were other
hats-but l can't stop to tell you about them
Today.
Oh, yes; they are wearing those jaunty,
mystlcally made looking bolero jackets
again for evening. One made of white silky
looking lady's cloth and embossed with sill
yer and lined with white satin is rayishingly
dainty. They just come to the middle OF
the back in one piece without seam or dart;
are slashed at the bottom and curve low at
the neck. and swerve off in front in scroll
Ike curves, and are sleeveless. of course.
That description may be worthy OF man q
pen-but every feminine lover of dainty
cuts in fashion knows what bolero jacket
