Dark and heavy, l said, for outdoor
wear; dark and heavy are yet not the
words, for the sage greens, these rich
and lustrous browns are so crossed and
barred and shot with lighter and elu'
sive tints that, while they seem sedate
enough when farther seen, their near
approach warns and enlivens the dull
tints which, coming at last so close TO
hand, are seen to be radiant past be-
lief.
The modistes have not advanced their
art; the weavers have learned their
lesson letter perfect. Fit and cut
range from good to very bad; fabric at
its best is a study for artists.
1t is not saying much to say that the
seasons colors are green and brown
and yellow; for such yellow, like clear
flame; like the wood pecker's breast,
like canary down, like everything in
nature snd something not, and such
browns, running the whole gamut,
from light TO dark browns shot with
green, and slasned with yellows and
spotted with cream; and such green's,
most splendid IL not most varied OF al,
are there that the primary tints are lost
under vagaries Of blending.
Most splendid are the wraps-still to
| continue talk of outdoor wear, for balls
are yet far of-long and voluminous
and of rich material. Sybaritic plushes
and alluring velvets trimmed with fur,
lined with 1t, perhaps, will vie with
seal for favor. And not all the inter-
national conferences in c~hristendom
have torn, or shall tear, from women's
hearts their idol Of BehrinR sea. Skirts
long and voluminous, shoulders high,
wide, deep and imposing, the new
cloaks with their rich and heavy mate
rails for woman's body to carry, but If

He was eating b~lueberry pie with a
knife; and be was so thin that, In the
light Of the large swinging lamp behind
him, the pieces of pie cast blue shadows
on the tablecloth IS they glided down
the inside Of his neck. With consider

for I had never before seen the human

swallowed some coffee, and this had no

collar button than he spoke.

said he, and put his hand into his
pocket. The bottle which he drow ont
was covered with bright yellow paper.
"Well, l be- darned," he muttered,
staring at 1t, 81 must ha' got the wrong

He seemed about to put it back when
1 noticed a change in the expression Of
his eyes which had hitherto been mildly
despairing as is common with northern
New Englanders. He whispered: "Zim-
rill never know the difference" and
took two pills out Of the yellow bottle.
One Of these he swallowed and the
other be pretended to swallow, but l
saw him drop it into his sleeve. The
trick was done with considerable skill
but l detected It; and be saw that l did.
Instantly he darted al me a look full OF
suspicion.
Don't be alarmed, l said, "Ill never
tell Zimri, whoever he may be-"
He gave an uneasy chuckle, but I
could see that my remark relieved him.
Desiring evidently to show me his APP
probation Of my conduct he presently
became confidential. Leaning toward
me across the table he said in a low
voice:
SHOULD you call this dinner or sup
per?"
We were eating our evening meal on
one Of the Boston and Bangor steamers.
l was thoroughly familiar with the Gus
toms of the line, and so replied without
hesitation:
81 call 1t supper, and q mighty good
one"
"Sho! I'm disappointed" he replied.
"Why?" l asked.
"Well, ye see," he responded, 'the

white stockings for regular wear are
an a~bomination. When they used 70 be
worn il was because the process OF dye
ing was as yet unprotected, and they
were the only thing 70 wear. Besides,
high shoes or very low slippers were
then the rule. With a high shoe the

there while "Der Schatten" was the
reigp1nR sensation, and ''Oi course he
must have seen it," Besides, it was
darklv limited that Mr.. Kendall might
have shown the synopsis he had to his
intimate friend, Mr.. Pinero. And this
is the case against England's foremost
PLAYWRIGHT, whose reputation has been
built up by conscientious effort for
many years, aud whose c~oncededly orig
inaI work is better than anything which
be is alleged TO have plagiarized. 1t Is
unjust I'm the extreme TO condemn I'M
heard a man whose honor is so general
TX recognized. II Mr.. Pinero is guilty
of plagiarism, IL would have been an
easy matter 10 prove 1t.
,,Der Schatten" will be produced
shortly 10 this country by the company
az the Irving Place German theater,
and as The Second Mrs. TanQuersy"
will be the piece de resistance Of MI.
and Mrs. Kendall during the coming
tour Of this country Americans will
have an opportunity to decide the mat
ter inteIligently and upon its merits,
II would not appear that a single play
was worth all the talk that has been ex-
pepded upon this one, but the affair as
sumes a different complexion when it Is
stated that the royalties paid the au-
thor Of The Second Mrs. TanQueray"
amount to several hundred dollars a
week. Mr.. Pinero may console himself
with the reflection that very few per-
sons in New York believe him 70 be a
plagiarist.
How often a bit Of good character
work lifts a small part above the level
OF those intended for the stars! This Is
the case with Mrs. Jean Clara Walters,
who plays the blacksmith's wife in Nat
C.. Goodwlu's production Of in Miz'
zoura." While she is surrounded by an
excellent company, and her star is one
OF the best actors in the world, her
work in this,psrticular role stands out
like a gem.
II s OF course not surprising to see
Mrs. Walters doing good scting. She
has been given to that sort Of thing for
many wears, In fact, ever since she
made her debut in Newark in 1857.
She has in her time danced a reel
and sung an Irish song, played
broad farce and acted Lady Macbeth
on alternate nights and sometimes even
during the same evening. To-day she
is in constant demand, for she is con-
scieptious in whatever may be assigned
her, and she generally contrives 30 get
more out OF q part than it was thought
TO contain. This is where long expe-
rience comes TO her aid.

main material is brown-fall In points
to the bust line, and these are picked
out with embroidery. The wide collar,
the wide pointed lapels are OF lustrous
black velvet with heavy goods, satin
facing with light, and the skirt thereof
spelleth rufles. With this is worn an

This has. az three out Of five English

lace fastened in a line across the bust
and over the shoulders and falling

otherwise was the little gem, except,
perhaps, In its persistent employing OF
the limp, wide upper sleeve, falling
negligently to the clOse-clothed fore
arm.
Sashes are wide and long and prom
inent, which somewhat reminds me that
the hats spoken OF have often ribbon
ties 10 the back crossing 10 the front,
tied in a big bow and falling IN front,
almost unfortunately. Sashed, indeed,
was a more notable tea gown which |
have been admiring. This charming
costume made effective use OF perpen-
dicular lines, without too much offend
ing against prevailing modes, by plated
folds of shimmerlng yellow SILK falling
from the high collar 10 the very floor,
broken only by two little dark brown
bands at the waist, aud aided by the
falling ends of the heavily embroidered
sash. Except across the front plaits the

bands Of brown, and the heavy epaulets
