The autumn bodice bids fair to be a
thing of variety and splendor, says a
fashion writer. Foremost in the ranks
of novelty is the English corselet waist
1t is aimed to make this conceit, the
corsclct portions buttons or hooks over
Il loose blouse, as quaint and rich look
ing as possible. The endeavor succeeds
so well in some instances that it would
seem as though the corslet was copied
from some old portrait painted in the
medieval times. The idea is aptly il
lustratcd in freshly imported tea
gown. The corselet buckles With a
rich, antique silver clasp over blouse
of pale, sea-foam green chiffon, and is
itself made of hunters green velvet,
wrought curiously with silver threads
and encrusted with cut stones, simu-
lated emeralds, pearls and just sufficient
rubies to lend brilliant color. A fave T.
ite way of making indoor bodices is to
cut the material on the cross and to fiji
snugly to the figure without single
dart. The low cut neck is ruffled gener.
ously with wide lace that narrows and
curves its graceful way into the waist
line. And what u lace season it is, al
grades and patterns are used in lavish
profusion. A new French lace called
Lyons, showing rich silk embroidery
raised on Il stout net, is winning admir-
alton, and will be used extensively or
handsome cool weather gowns. Jetted
lace is the trimming, par excellence, fol

winter ball rooms will be resplendent
with laces, black and white, powdered
with glistening stutfs and studded with

white and pale-toned silk gowns. A
mistake easily made and one that is in
variably frowned upon by the connois

occurs by reason of too much generos

There is Lack of Places Whore Counting
Can BE Done.
Have you ever been in a house where
there is couple courting? 1t Is most
trying You think you will go and sit
in the drawing-room and you march off
there. AS you open the door you hear
noise as if somebody had suddenly
recollected something, and when you
get in Emily is over by the window,
full of interest in the opposite side of
the road, and your friend John Edward
is at the other end of the room with his
whole soul held in thrall by photo
graphs of other peoples relatives.
"O," you say, pausing at the door, II
didn't know anybody was here"
so, didn't you?" says Emily, coldly,
in tone which implies that she does
not believe you.
You hang about for a bit; then you say:
''It's very dark. Why don't you light
the gas?"
John Edward says: so, hadn't no.
ticed it, and Emily says that papa does
not like the gas lit in the afternoon.
You tell them one or two items of
news, and give them your views and
opinions on any current question: but it
does not appear to interest them. All
they remark on any subject is, "Oh,'
''Is it?" Ibid hep" "Yes," and "You
| don't say SOP" And after ten minutes
| of such style of conversation you edge
up to the door and slip out, and are sur
| prised to find that the door Immediately
closes behind you, and shuts itself with
| out you having touched it.
| Hall an hour later you think you will
try cigar on the piazza The only
chair in the place is occupied by Emily,
and John Edward, if the language of
clothes can be relied on, has evidently
been sitting ON the floor. They do not
speak, but give you look that says
all that can be said in civilized COM
rnunity, and you back out promptly
and shut the door behind you.
You are afraid to poke your nose into
any room in the house now, So after
walking mp and down the stairs for
awhile you go and sit in your own
bedroom. This becomes uninteresting,
however, after time, and so you put
on your hat and stroll out into the gar
den. You walk down the path, and as
you pass by the summer house you
glance in, and there are those two
young lovers huddled together in one
corner of it, and they see you and are
evidently under the idea that for some
wicked purpose of your own you are
following them about.
why don't they have special room
for this sort Nf thing and make people
keep to it?" sou mutter, and you rush
back to the hall, get your umbrella and
go out.-Albany Argus.

A CASE OF LOVE.
DR. DinlSs' Diagnosis and Pre-
scribed Remedy Sad Failure.

People said DR.. Dinks ought to mar
w. He thought so himself, but hither-
~ ne had been too busy providing
means for keeping wife to bestow
much thought on whom she was to be.
&ic had decided that the lady must
have good looks, good means and be of
a good position; but, though several
Ladies in Jemimaville fulfilled all these
~cQuirements, his choice had not yet
fallen on any one of them. And, be-
sides, he was not in the least in love.
IT would be imprudent to venture the
assertion that Dr. DinlIs had always
remained Indifferent to the pretty and
agreeable girls he had met in his wan
e1crings; and, being a fairly attractive
fellow. as well as Jemimaville's only
medical practitioner it is safe to say
1hat eyes of every hue had looked upon
him with more or less favor. Oh, no!
He had had his intermittent love af-
fairs. There was Shady Scott, now.
He had loved her to distraction for two
months, when she wore particularly
sweet thing in bonnets; when the bon
met went out of fashion DIR. DinlIs'
love went with it. Again, there was
Polly Grey. His heart in this ease
ad capitulated to the peculiarly fas-
-rinating manner in which the fair
.c9amsel lisped. He overheard her
speak to her brother once. and Bai
ahcse and others were but the idle
lrcamlets of day, and DIR. Dinks
sighed for the genuine article that
wears we'll He excused his seeming
Inconsistency on the plea that love is q
lo4tery, and if one wishes to win one
must at least play So he accordingly
mayed battledore with the hearts OF
7Ihe fair eligibles on his list of patients
and kept his eyes open and watched his
.heart carefully, expecting to eXpe
rience some day that sudden sense Oi

legitimate, and the all-sufficing love

Its all matter of pulsation," the
doctor assured himself. "If you think
you're in love. feel your pulse Cupid''

One afternoon about four o'clock DIR

passed his fingers thoughtfully through
mis- hair, which could not, even in
e0urtesy, be called auburn. He wal

his darling faint, or would she sink
gracefully into his arms and whisper.
"Dear youth, willr' And then tho
consummate delightfulness of IL all
overpowered DIR. Dinks, and suggest
lively hugging the nearest armchair,
he mentally collapsed.
Dressing one evening with the
punctilious care born of long bachelor
life, and with many hesitating doubts
and fears, DIR. Dinks set out on an ALL
important visit to Dovecot house-a
visit fraught with matrimonial inten-
tions. His progress was slow. 1t was
Just after the early tea of provincial
life, and several of his friends and ac-
quaintances were on the street, and
many were the cordial greetings he had
to exchange with them. They after
wards remarked to each other that the
doctor was certainly strange in his
manner, and they hoped he hadn't been
-, and then they paused and finished
with suggestive smile.
All unconscious of his friends levity,
he pursued his way, and as he came in
sight of Dovecot house he felt the by
no-means strange sensation that the
eyes of the world were upon him.
With as martial step as he could
command, Dr. Dinks crossed the gar
den plot and instantly rang the bell
very, very tenderly. He must not, he
thought, alarm his little darling.
81 shall find my way. You need not
trouble to come with me-" he said to
the smiling maid whose duty it was to
attend the door and announce arrivals.
"Miss Grantley, 1 presume, is in the
same apartment?"
"Yes, sir; but please, sir, she's en-
gagged just now"
But the doctor did not hear. Slowly,
very slowly, he went up the soft car
peted staircase, and paused for brief
moment at the door before entering.
His heart had resumed its stentorian
humping; his legs trembled-all, of
course, in joyous anticipation of his
coming happiness Leaning against
very softly, turned the handle and
opened the door But, oh! what did the
sight which met his gaze mean?
Standing in the embrasure of the
window, with his arm about Babs'
waist, was tall and fair stranger! In
his other hand he held small golden
hoop, which he was showing to her.
Isn't it strange, darling?" DIR. Dinks
heard this tall, and fair. and unknown
somebody say to-Babs, has Babs!-
''isn't it strange, darling, that within the
little circle of this ring there should be
so much happiness, and love, and hope
for you and L? You must wear it, dear,
and, wearing it, remember that our
love, like it, is without end. Babsn'
he exclaimed, 'oh! Babs, my darling!-'
DR.. Dinks did not wait to hea" more.
Softly, as softly as he had opened it, he
closed the door, and skunk down the
staircase like convicted felon. Out
side he leaned against the garden wall
and endeavored to pull together his
shattered energies.
Shouldn't l just like to dissect that
fellow, that's ALL" he muttered. But
no, wouldn't he added, in the same
breath. "She-she loves him, and-and
that's something"
And then DIR. Dinks inclined his head
to the angle medicus and felt his pulse,
wondering whether, after all, that
magnificent thrill-that sudden sense
of rapturous delight-was not IuSu,

NEARLY 5000 MILES AT A CLIP.
SIeeping-Car Porters VINO Have Made the
Longest Runs in the World.

Sleeping gear Porters VINO Have Made the
Longest Runs in the World.
The only employees of the Canadian
Pacific who are with the express trains
all the time between Montreal and Van
couver are the sleeping-car porters.
They travel nearly three thousand miles
without break and are on the road for
nearly six days. 1t is pretty hard
life, but at both ends of the route the
porters have an opportunity to rest,
though even then they hardly geS suf-
ficient recuperation. For two or three
nights the porter is not likely to get
over three or four hours sleep night
and he is lucky if he gets that. He is
his own conductor, and collecting the
sleeping-car tickets and accounting for
them adds considerably to his work.
Leaving Montreal at $40 p. IN. he is
certain to have n busy time at Ottawa
shortly after midnight, and then he has
his boots to black, and he is lucky if he
gets wink of sleep before two or
three a. IN. He takes pillow and lies
down in the smoking room when no
passengers are there, and catches cat
maps if he can. He is likely at any
moment to be aroused by bell sum-
moning him to one of the berths, and
the bell is sure to be kept busy after
day break.
After leaving Winnipeg he has a
comparatively easy time across the
plains, though he is compelled to be up
after midnight both at Regina and at
Calgary. At all important stations he
has to go to the telegraph Office with
a statement of the accommodations un-
occupied in his car, so that the station
agents ahead may dispose of berths
He has busy time through the noun
tains. AS rule he loses nearly his
entire carload Mt Winnipeg, and it fills
up there at once with passengers from
the south. He loses his passengers
again at Banff, and their places are
supplied by tourists who are going on
from that pleasure resort; then many
of his passengers get off at Glazier and
others come on, so that nearly all the
time he has much to do in the way of
keeping his accounts, besides his duties
as porter
At Vancouver he lays over for two
days, and as rule he sleeps in the car,
occupying it all the time for the round
trip. When he returns to Montreal ne
has been away fourteen days. Then
he has a longer rest. He is off duty
for five days, except that he has to take
his turn reporting at the depot at night
to assist the outgoing porter in taking
care of luggage. His five days rest
puts him in pretty good condition foI
| another two weeks siege

trying, but that there is nothing like
getting used to q thing. The company

AN UNSEEMLY SPECTACLE.

Already the men who are anxious
to fill the Senatorial vacancy oc-
casioned by the death OF George
Hearst, are in Sacramento dicker-
ing for votes.
1t is in no way question Of fit
ness but purely a question of
money. Ofthe men who are schem-
Ing for the position not one is
fitted in any way that any body
can mention.
The unseemly scramble has be-
gun while the remains Of the dead
Senator is still above ground.
The clash of sacks has already
begun at the Capital city of Cali
fornia. De Young, of the Chronicle
has already openly announced
that he would spend $500, 900 for
the place. He must be simple
minded ass II he ever made such
an assertion. If he won after this
announcement the office would
make him ridiculous instead Of
honorable.
No man who spends a dollar for
votes in sacramento for this office,
will be any thing more than by
word and laughing stock among
his fellow men. He will be on the
same level with the fools in Eu-
rope, who purchase titles and
Goa Of Arms for coin.
1t would be a great thing for
California, if the press united on
some man who was poor and able,
and who was not scheming for the
office, and call for his election.
The Democrats paid the Eram-
liner q compliment, and a well de-
served ole, by electing its owner,
George Hearst. Let the RepubI-
can press insist on being repre-
scented on his successor, and center
on W. III. Mills, editor and mana
ger of the Record Union. He is a
man who would make his mark in
the U 8. Senate
If he ever got the floor once, he
would be listened to ever after
wards whenever he rose to speak.
He is one of the clearest headed
men of public affairs in California,
and one OF the smoothest and abb
lest debaters in the country.
He has never been subject to
the big head, and is manly, hard
headed sensible fellow, whom no
man ever meets without being inn
pressed with the fact that Mills, by
appearing as his natural self, can
command attention and respect.
He never needs to assume or pose
and never does on any occasion.
Such a man would give this
Coast a live and able representa-
tive, and the APPEAL believes that
If the Republican press of Califor-
mia unite on him he can be elected
without intimidation or the use OF
Doodle.
