Nowadays our ladies OF fashion spend
go much money on their footwear that
they seem TO have resolved that all this
neatness and elegance shall not be lost
TO the world, end consequently they
have hit upon new way OF raising the
skirts when such an act becomes neces-
sary. They seize both hs s tand the

one side, rather to the front, and thus
succeed in displaying the absolute per-

will be pleased to examine the style and
makeup of such a gown. My fourth
picture will enable you so to do. This
elegant gown Is charmingly set on with
deep cuffs and fichu OF cream guipure
and a front of white silk muslin. The
bottom OF the skirt Is finished with two
narrow fiounces with a pleated heading
of the material.
The tailor-made costumes come per-
sistently to the front at this season OF the
year, In widely different styles, some
times with no basque at all, and then
again with deep jacket basques cover
ing the hips except just in front. The
dress coat style OF bodice, with the
tails varying to suit the particular kind

but the truth was they were the crea-
lions OF her brother-in-law, a we'll
known artist. Designing gown is very
much like painting picture, only your
colors are laid on dry. When Beau
Brummel had created new waistcoat he
felt as il he had conquered new world.
Nor are fashions half as changeable as
the men allege them to be. Take the
gored skirt, for instance; 1t has been
with us now for several years, and the
Russian blouse, which came year ago,
is still in high favor, both as mantle
and bodice. These charming bodices
are usually of different material from
the skirt. In one case / saw very
pretty gown for a young lady, the skirt
being in black and pale-yellow silk, and
the blouse bodice in mastic cloth and
black velvet, and the broad belt OF the
striped silk.
With the deepening OF autumn foliage,
the fashionable woman never fails TO
have visions of coming styles. To some
these new gowns may continue to be
| the unsubstantial fabrics OF vision,
rather than the beautiful stuffs thrown
off by the art looms, yet when woman
| wants anything she generally get 1t,
and so l may assume that the reader is
only waiting for safe counsel before
venturing among the shoals and eddies
OF the whirf of fashion. Foulards
stamped with large flowers, set appar-
emily ON the material without any regu-
larity, are to be much used for indoor
dresses. In making up these foulards.
II Is customary to ornament the bottom
of the skirt with an insertion of white
guipure headed with a little ruche OF
the stuff. The corsage Is pleated in
front, gathered at the neck and set of
with a lace insertion outlining the
corselet. The elbow sleeve is OF
changeable velvet and is pulled as much
as possible at the shoulder.
The initial illustration presents a
back view OF a. house gown in ecru

IT seems incredible that IN rich
and vigorous young city any condi-
tion would be permitted which is
certain to destroy at least 800 human
lives in a year. That summing up
Of fatalities which might be avoided
confesses monstrous greed, an I'M
speakable indifference on the part OF
the public. Railroad trains running
into Chicago kill that many people
regularly, and horribly mangle three
times as many more. Why? Because
to avoid the slaughter would involve
the expenditure of money. 1t is not
in a war Of defense, it Is not by the
volcanoes eruption, it is not by the
swift and fatal flash Of lightning.
They simply kill and bury 300 per-
sons each year rather than elevate
the railroad tracks. They simply
condemn a thousand to misery rather
than spend the money necessary TO
insure the city safety. They know
this number have been killed regularly
for years. They know in all reason
the number will be increased in fu-
ture. Will Chicago continue to MUIR
der her own children rather than
compel obedience from her servants?

This wihtet ladies who take pleasure
in entertaining will dispense their hos
pitality in the guise OF luncheons, which
have this advantage that they serve to
display the beauty of table linen and
service quite as effectually as a cere-
monious dinner, but don't cost half as
much and are a great deal more enjoy
able. AS rule, at these luncheons the
gentlemen are conspicuous by their alb
sence, fact which prompts the hostess
to make the affair dainty, delicate and

the exclusion of all glazing tones and

being finished w tn a ruching and the
corsage ornamented with a deep lace
collar not forming part Of the dress, and
draped in the graceful manner indicated.
The straight collar is also covered with
lace: A broad ribbon sash completes
the dress. The wide empire belt will
be among the next seasons novelties.
1t is usually OF gold embroidery, and
the deep, tight-fitting cuffs are OF the
same material, meeting the very full
upper sleeves at the elbow.

all signs point to an open winter, and il
may be that fur garments will not be

nary severity the long Russian jacket
will no doubt be greatly in vogue. 1t is
made either with fiaring or turn down
collar, and is somewhat shaped to the
figure. 1t is double breasted and has
very large buttons covere ed with tie ma
terial. This Russian Jacket is more sty-
lish than The REFER, so popular last win
ter. With it will be worn the jaunty
tourists hat in French felt, trimmed
with ribbon and set off with one or two
rakish quilts, making up very fetching
outdoor costume.
The ever popular pelerines come in
well for October wear. They are
made both double and triple and also in
one piece, falling in graceful folds from
the collars. The double form is usually
made with a yoke which is pointed at
the back, and is trimmed with velvet.
The material is cloth and the modlsh
tones royal blue and gray. These little
garments have great deal of style
about them. when trimmed with cord or
galloon. The ordinary cape is now
made with an under part which fastens
nearly the whole way down and thus
renders this style Of garment much
more satisfactory for cold weather.
This additional underpart may be OF a
material In a different shade, thus In
increasing the attractiveness of the
cape, which should be so cut as to hang
straight around the arms in order not to
increase the width of the figure. A very
pretty combination for one OF these gar
ments Is cinnamon-bro cloth with
dark brown plush for the underpart, or
velvet may be substituted for the plush.

A Friend In Need.

How often we find that when mis-
fortune befalls us we are deserted by
many whom we imagined were our
most devoted friends, and upon whom
we had strong claims for sympathy
and help. From those we know little,
we naturally expect little or nothing.
But here in the animal world we
have an extraordinary example of
disinterested friendship in the time
of need. A poor sparrow by some
mischance had lost the sight of both
eyes. Few people have much to say
for the sparrow, he eats the young
seedlings just as they are coming up
in the garden, so the gardener prose-
cutes him, and the farmer hates him
because he makes raids on the corn.
Now this poor blind bird would have
had a very poor chance against the
world; without his eyesight he must
speedily have come to grief but a
hen, upon whom the sparrow had no
sort of claim, took upon. herself the
full charge of him, guarded him jeal-
ously under her wing, brought him
food, and protected him from his
brother sparrows, who would soon
have killed him. We may learn a
good deal from this hen, we who are
only too ready to turn away from sor-
row and misfortune, because when we
ourselves are prosperous and happy
they might cloud and disturb our
peaceful horizon for a time.

consists Of four mauve ribbons starting
in front and ending at the back with
bows and long ends.
Lace garniture will continue to be
very popular for indoor gowns, not only
as Just described. but also in the shape
of tiny flgaros and broad collars, as
shown in my second picture. This
charming garment, which Is In the
nature Of tea or reception gown, Is in
yellow satin, front and sleeves of white
crere, and ribbon ruching to correspond
with the satin. The skirt in front is
edged with a double fiounce CT point
d'esprit tulle, and the corsage is set off
with deep collar Of cream lace.
The prevailing modes this fall and
winter will undoubtedly continue to
draw inspiration from the early and late
French epochs. For young girls moth
ing could be more becoming than the
empire gown somewhat modified 10 suit

Henry ii. collarette, plastron and upper
sleeves in four puffs, will be much af-
fected.

The Board on Magazine Arms of
the United States army, after a
-tharauuh. examination and test of al,
existing types Of rifles, has recon-
mended the Krag-Jorgensen gun as
the best small arm for. use by our
troops. Fifty-three guns in all were
tested by the board, and there eau be
no doubt that the result of their ex-
animation, reached, as it was, by a
unanimous vote, will give to the
American army the best rife now to
be had in the world. The Krag-
Jorgensen rife is Of course maya
zine gun. 1t carries five cartridges,
is capable of very rapid fire, does not
get overheated readily, and has a
cutoff which renders it available for
use as single loader. This last is a
most important point. The official
weapon of the United. States army
for twenty years past has been the
old Springfield rifle, wonder in its
day, but now entirely out of date.
1t was high time our troops were
armed with something better. 1t
seems a pity that the best gun is not
now, as 1t has been so often in the past,
the product of American ingenuity
and skill, but our Magazine Arms
Board was right in adopting the best
weapon obtainable regardless Of its
nativity. The new gun is of small
caliber, like most of the recent
weapons. These rifles have proved
more deadly in war than those OF
larger caliber, notably in the Gillian
civil war last year. The Krag-
Jorgensen is about four and hall
feet long and five feet four inche:
with bayonet. 1t weighs, with the
bayonet, nearly ten pounds. Gen.
Grant, Acting Secretary of War, ha:
approved of the findings of the board
and the work of obtaining the guns
will go on as rapidly as possible,
Our army is small, and it does not
often have to engage in hostilities,
but we all want it to be ready, II
actual War should come, to do the
most effective possible service; an6
to this end it is necessary that il
should have the best rifle to be haC
in the world.

LORD TENNYsoN Is DEAD.

of Great Britain, died at his residence,
Aldworth, Surrey, at an early hour
Thursday morning. A slight cold taken

Alfred Tennyson was born at Somers-
by Lincolnshire, England, in 1909. His
father, the Rev. George Clayton Tenny-
son, was the rector of Somersby and
vicar OF Bennington and Grimsbv, while
his mother was the daughter of the Rev.
Stephen Fytche, vicar OF Louth. He
was the third of family OF twelve chill
dren. The talent which gained for him
the title OF Poet Laureate OF England
began to develop itself in his early
youth, for when IL years old he, with
his brother Charles, who afterward be-
came vicar OF Grasby and assumed the
name of Turner, published small
volume entitled Poems by Two Broth
ers." The poems attracted some atten-
ton, those signed "A. T." receiving the
highest praise, Coleridge declaring that
they alone of the selections in the vol
ume gave hopeful promise OF a coming
poet.
In 1850 there appeared anonymously
what was probably the purest and truest
poem Of that period, Tennyson's "In
Memoriam," series OF 129 brief poems
all wrought together in grand pathetic
tribute to the memory Of the poets col
lege friend and companion, Arthur
Hallam, who died in Vienna in 1888.
For seventeen years Tennyson had
borne the sacred grief Of his friends
death, during which time he composed
the elegies contained in the volume In
Memoriam." November 81, 1850, Ten
nyson was appointed to the honorary
place OF Poet Laureate OF England. sue
ceeding Wordsworth. OF the poems
written in that capacity there have
been few that have been considered by
critics as works which are to take rank
with others OF his poems, notably the
"Ode on the Death Of the Duke of Vel.
lington, and the "Charge OF the Light
Brigade at Balaklava." Both OF these
were included in his volume entitled
MAUD and Other Poems, published II
| 1855.
The residence OF Lord Tennyson has
been on the Isle of Wight for severa
years, near Freshwater Gate. He owned
there commodious stone house, will
a pleasant library, where he spent thu
most of his hours of literary work, sur

The separation of the young min
eralogist, Verhoeff, from Peary's
north pole party, and his supposed
death, has given rise to much gossip
and surmise, and is likely to develop
into scandal such as manages to at
tach itself to all recent arctic expedi-
lions. The next thing will be the or
ganlzation of a party to hunt Yer
hoeff. While on the way it will sue
coed in losing or killing one of its
members. Then another scandal will
arise, and so on indefinitely. For all
the good they do, the public could
well afford to dispense with such
expeditions. Certainly, it would
gladly be rid of the apparently in
evitable petty gossip that follows
each one.

THE interesting information comes
from Cambridge, Mass, that new
series of experiments in the difficult
art of photographing the heavens Is
being made at that place. The in
strument used is the so-called Bush
Photographic telescope, manufactured
especially for the Harvard Observa-
tory, and the north star was selected
as the first object upon which to test
its powers. The apparatus used for
stellar photography is exceedingly
delicate and complicated. There are
four photographing lenses, two feet
in diameter. In front of these is the
spectrum for photographing stars.
Its thickest edge is three inches and
the thinnest seven-eighths of an
inch. The lenses are Of the finest
optical glass. Their average weight
is 100 pounds. The bed plate Of the
telescope is 10 feet Al inches and its
breadth is 6 feet. This swings on a
steel axle 10 feet long and weigh
ing 2,200 pounds. The wheel to
which the clockwork is attached, reg
ulating the movement of the instru-
ment to the motion Of the earth, is
