progressively and distressingly milder,
the society DANES and damsels were out
with sable borders foot or two deep
weighing and warming the skirts OF
their tailor gowns. l mind me of one
young woman who wore a noticeable
dress of dull red cloth covered with the
fox fur almost up to the knees. Fox
fur, you know, is long and hairy, and
the effect of it used in such a mbina-
ton and in such quantities was most
peculiar. The Russian blouse Of this
interesting individuals costume was Of
dark green velvet, edged with fur and
belted with a silver girdle. Over this
came red cloth jacket, short behind,
pointed in front and turned back with
revers fastened with silver buttons. She
had an enormous bunch of brownish
red and pure white chrysanthemums at
her belt and wore mite of q black vel
vet toque trimmed with fox fur and
loops of red velvet.

NOVEMBER FASHIONS.
What the Early Winter Promises
In Gauds and Gowns.
The Empire Dress Still Extending It's
Sway-Frocks at tho Horse Show
Furs, Laces and Brocades-Dance
Gowns for Thanksgiving.
icoPYRlGHr, 1892. !

tcoPYRIGHT, 1897
People talk much about fashions
cycles and the periodicity of styles, but
it appears to me that fashions are COM
et-like. They move in irregular and
uncertain orbits. The empire dress
was with us so recently that one would
not have expected it for a considerable
time again; but 1t has bobbed up Sc
renely and SO insistently that fort
night ago l was talking about it and
making pictures of it, and am now COM
PEELED to continue the converse ton.
As the season advances the short
wasted dress that SO few people really
like, and yet that now, as before, finds
ways and means to compel it's accept
ance, not only refuses all offers of COM
promise, but adopts devices to enhance
and emphasize its shortwaistedness.
One of these devices is deep hounce
starting from under the arms where the
waist ends, and falling in very full
folds to the hips, perhaps, or below.
The richest and most delicate of lace is
usually the founce material, but this
does not hinder the fashion from prov
ing in the majority of instances clum-
sy one.
Another pet notion of the empire
dress is to cover itself with q jacket, Of
tenest short one, hardly coming be-
low the bosom. and serving no appar-
ent purpose but to mark out moro
strongly tho starting place Of loose
gauzy tunic that envelopes the closer
fitting underdress and falls to the feet
or even sweeps the floor.
The most pronounced of all empire
modes is that which combines with the
short waist or no waist completely OF
Vatican folds in front, these taking a
sheer descent from the veriest apology
for a yoke, and in all their undress
looseness and fullness parading them
selves as evening frocks, and soorning
any proposition to relegate them to the
proper domain of the neglige.
1t is only in rare instances that there
is anything particularly pretty about
the revived empire gowns, but they are
serving useful purpose; they divert
mantua making attention from the long
suffering sleeve. The stream of in
ventive energy begins to flow in other
directions. Here's a bit of advice if
You haven't yet your winter gown.
You have time to finish wearing out
your old frocks with huge sleeve pufs,
but you don't want any new ones made
that way. The doom of the high
shoulder is scaled. The newest dresses

without confinement There is .
quaint little bodice jacket of gold and
rose pink embroidery, very short, and
with tasseled ornaments in front and
behind.
There's not so very much else that
presses to be said except that one of the
daintiest debutante's frocks yet de-
signed is pink chiffon slip embroid-
cred with delicate fern fronds in pale
green. The skirt has a broad velvet
band at the bottom. The chiffon
sleeves are succession of puffs divided
by velvet bands ELLEN OSBORN.

Increased base.runnine would /,

Increased D0Se-runn1ng would not,
however, mean SO many more runs as
to make games seem tedious and scores
look bad, because the distance from the
plate to first base and from fourth base
to the plate is still ninety feet and the
entire circuit thirty feet more than the
present circuit. Thus, while there
would be more base-running on the
short lines, the additional circuit dis
lance, and the long distances between
home and first and fourth and home,
would operate against excessive run
scoring.

Der Of toilets were noted which were
probably as typical as any yet seen Of
the early winter styles. A tan brown
silk stood out prominent in recollec-
ton. 1t had a full bodice with a
pointed yoke trimmed with golden
brown velvet and from the point
dropped gathered length of silk which
fell over the deep velvet girdle. The
skirt was plain but had an uncommonly
pretty sweep and swing to it. A brown
velvet toque was its millinery finish,
with sweeping brown plumes.
Mrs. William C. Whitney wore .
simple costume, but one that should not
be allowed to fall into oblivion. It was
dusky green cloth frock with hints
of brown in its shadows. The skirt
had q deep band of sable fur trimming,
and the bodice had fur revers. The
sleeves had fur cuffs and the hat that
lent point and finish was of black vel
vet with sweeping plumes. It is need
full to add, perhaps, that Mrs. Whitney
was in promenade dress and joined the
little party for five minutes only.
The most beautiful thing the writer
has to show are the brocades. The
richest are furs. The most novel arc
the oobweb gauzes. 1t follows as a
matter of course that brocade, fur and
gauze are combined in a good many of
the Thanksgiving dance gowns. A
somewhat unusual frock that was put
before me in modtste's parlor yester-
day was q white silk figured with
chrysanthemums in silver. The huge
flowers sprang from long stalks that
lost themselves in embroidered isse
founces falling over the skirt at the
foot. The low round bodice had ono
enormous silver chrysanthemum at the
left side, and isse founce dropped
about the shoulders A Vatican plait
sprang from above the girdle at tho
back and was edged with sable fur
where it mingled with the train. Tho
short sleeves were furedged, but the
odd thing about the costume was the
sable that bordered the tiny silver satin
slippers.
Another unique dancing dress just fin
ished is princess slip of pale creamy yell

drapery of lace falling to the feet

Rev. George Dana Boardman, of
Philadelphia, is another minister

theater. In recent sermon he said:
IL an not theater-goer myself. Nor
has somewhat extended observation
raised the surmise in my own mind
that the stage has been any special ally
Of the pulpit or guide into the church.
This question, however, like others of a
kindred nature, is largely a matter of
moral relativeness, or degrees Of Chris
tian propriety. Accordingly, in all such
matters as these, uniformly decline to
play the role of pastoral autocrat
