The Autumn ImpOrtatiOns.

In spite of the talk about smaller sleeves,
some of the first autumn dresses brought
over from Paris and London have fuller
skirts and even larger sleeves than those
now worn. Harper's Bazaar says: The
skirts are gored rather closely about the
hips, but are very full in the back and
wide at tho foot. They are lined and in
terlined, but fortunately are of lightweight
woolens and are very little trimmed. A
bias satin fold an inch wide, headed with
n narrow band of jet, is around the foot of
very handsome cloth gowns. Others have
merely a fold of the wool, camels hair, or
basket cloth below the edge, between the
outside and lining and held there by three
or four rows of stitching, which give a
neat finish. Three back cores, pointed at
the top and spreading out in fan plaits to
the foot, are on many skirts some of them
completed by the little projecting basque
introduced in the spring with silk gowns.
Bias puffed sleeves are enormously wide
at the top and are caught up or draped by
choux or bows. They taper to the wrist,
but are often left rather large below the
elbow and wrinkled around the arm,
which adds to the effect of great size.
Round waists reappear in many ways
box plated, sashed, with yoke, or with
guimpe of contrasting material, the low
er part carried up above the bust in van
dyke points and edged with jet galloon.
Plated waists have two box plaits down
the back, starting from the shoulders,
where they are 2 4 inches wide, and taper
ing an inch narrower at the waist line.
They are folded in one piece, with the
middle space between plain. A side form
begins under the plaits, so that the only
seams shown are those under the arm.
The fronts are much fuller than the back,
having two similar plaits end full gath
cred plastron.

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 26.
This afternoon, Mrs. Julia A. Woodbury.
of this city was brought before the court on
precept issued, yesterday, for her appre-
hension. The complaint takes the form of
petition, setting out that on June I, 1894 !,
this court, on habeas corpus proceedings,
gave into the custody of Chas. A. Spauld-
ing and wife of Vassalboro, little girl 10
years of age, if the little girl should choose
to 20 with them; that the little girl chose
to live with them, and accordingly went;
the decree further provided that Mrs.
Woodbury., who is the mother of the girl,
should have her child with her at certain
times, but not so as to interfere with her
going to school, and also provided that Mrs.
Woodbury. should make no effort to secure
the child permanently, except by legal pro-
cess. The petitioners allege that they car
red the child to her mother last Saturday
night for visit until Sunday night, when
she was to return home to attend school,
that upon calling for her the child and
mother had disappeared. The respondent
was found at her home in this city today,
and was brought before the court to answer
The charges in the petition. The child has
not yet been found, and is probably beyond
the limits of the State. She has not been
with the petitioners since babe, and the
proceedings last June were an attempt of
the mothet to get possession of her, with
the result above stated. w. II. Fisher
appears for the petitioners, and H. M. Heath
and F. f. Southland for the defendant.
Neither side being ready to proceed, the case
was continued until morning at 80.
