displayed in one Of the illustrations. A russell
silk, shot dimly with red, was the material OF
the long rediHgOte, embroidered with russell
and gold and rimson. About the waist
and at the foot was deep russell silk fringe.
There was long V-shaped plastron out
lined with crimson velvet ribbons tied In

and fell in peculiar cascade point on either
side. The back had a V OF embroidery

there were crimson and russell velvet BOWS

One of the autumn brides appeared In
matrOny dignity in slashed, trained skirt

of hydrangeas. The train ran out IN long,

past seasons. panel of black lace was let
in at one side of the skirt, and on either

SLEEPING LIFE AWAY.
The SOmH0ltnt Disease That Carries OF In
habitaltS Of Africa

An interesting account, descriptive of the
"sleepy disease" peculiar to Africa, is given
in the journal Of an American cruiser. Per-
sons attacked by this singular malady are
those who take little exercise and live prln-
cipally on vegetables, cassoda and rice.
Some observers ascribe it to the casSoda,
which is strongly narcotic. Not improbably
the climate has much influence, the disease
being most prevalent In low and marshy re-
gioDs.
Irresistible drowsiness continually weighs
down the patient, who can be kept awake
only for the few minutes needful to take a
little food. When this legarthy has lasted
three or four months death comes, but only
in the form of deeper slumber T1e author
of the book mentioned in the opening tells
of a member of the royal family of Luakaka
who was aft cted with this curious disease.
81 found the aspect of Queen Maumee's
beautiful granddaughter inconceivably at
fecting. 1t was strange to see her so quiet,
in sleep from which it might be supposed
she would awake full of youthful vigor,
and yet to know that this was no refreshing
slumber, but spell in which she was fading
forever from the eyes that loved her.
This young girl was but IA years of age
With some difficulty she was aroused and
woke with frightened cry-,a strange
broken murmur-as il she were looking out
in the phantasies of a dream. Her eyes
were wild aud CLASSY; rolled wildly In their
sockets for second, then Immediately sunk
into the deep and heavy sleep i'll which we
found her. The girl had been suffering for
about three months-n0, not suffering, for,
except when forcibIy aroused, there appears

or rather Of combination of colors, about
which there is really very little brown at
all. Beige, yellow and pale brown spots
are strewn irregularly over tawuy ground,
and the fabric is used occasionally for street
dresses but more often and more appro-
priately for bands of trimming.
One Of the best liked designs for bodice
is seen in an Illustration. 1t is long and
tight-fitting in the back, being plated in
three hollow plaits. while the front is plain.
1t is full on the shoulders, buttons at the
waist and opens over lighter cOored
plastron. In the original the color c0mbl-
nation was chamois and heather brown.
The long clOaks for winter seem to be out
a good deal on the model OF the princess
polonase. The finest ones have fur grdles
and shoulder capes and sometimes fur hoods
and long fur cuffs reaching to the elbows.
The cloak dress have deep bands Of fur
about the hem.
Deep-skirted walking coats are going to
be as popular as they are inartistic in de-

81 In the face of the prejudice that there
exists against gambling, that is gambling as
a means of making living. the author mas
prepared and presents 10 the public book
in which he upholds what he calls 'legi-
innate gambling" according to the doctrines
of chance. He presents lengthy argument
on the point he has taken and sets up the
claim that the world, business and the most
important functions of life are the result OF
chance. He holds that so long as the
world shall exist and the people live there
on there will be gambling in some form or
other, and he advocates the abfogatl0n OF
all prohibitory laws. and the placing OF all
games Of chance under the supervision OF
the police. Whatever may be thought OF
the argument advanced by the writer III
his book, it has many original Ideas and
shows the result of great deal OF research
in order to present many matters therein
contained. The work is unique and worth
reading for the arguments advanced.
