BITS OF HI

The large leg-o'-mutton shape still ap-
pears upon some of the newest and hand
soonest French gowns.
AS was predicted recently, a feature of
many OF the new costumes will be the con-
trasting bodice, sleeves and skirt being of
the same material.
Golf capes are much worn for autumn
carriage wraps and for travelling They are
half-long circulars, with either a double
cape or a hood. The imported ones, of
Scotch reversible cloth. are the most fash
ionable.
One OF the coming novelties will be the
tulle collar with long accordion-pleated ends
hanging straight from either side of the
neck and broad accordion-pleated wings at
the back. 1t suggests the becoming ruff of
ancient times.
The Cleopatra colors In bronze, tawny
brown, golden tan. chestnut, Havana, a
and nasturtium dyes will be in high vogue
this autumn season, and French ateliers
ana nlanuIacturers nave added TO these
the new india pink that is merely a
much-softened magenta.
One Of the new sleeves on dress toilets
the "Fforentine" model-is tight from the
wrist to several inches above the elbow.
The upper part is very deep, full puff band
ed at the lower edge. This puff is often
made OF two contrasting fabrics, in, for
instance, velvet and satin, and the long
forearm portions of a third material, this
being very frequently small-patterned bro

ent SAVIOR strongly of extravaganza no
small amount Of interesting economy is
observable. For instance, the woman who
has this autumn made a handsome black
satin, striped silk MORE, or armure silk
skirt OF the latest cut and gracefully hung,
can, by the aid of smart bodices, vary her
appearance most charmingly with small
outlay.
The old style tailor dress was a load of
cloth that only the strongest could carry
conveniently. Now a lady's cloth suit Of
three pieces weighs considerably less than
a mans summer suit. To supply the neces-
Sary warmth in cold weather, channels
vests are ordered for every outfit. These
underjackets are worn under the waist
coat. They are high-necked, long-sleeved,
giove-htting, wash like a rag and cost $40.
There are not a few very bright-colored
wraps in vogue this season, and it il well
TO remember when tempted to purchase
that these arment call for certain gowns
and headgear. and il is we'll to keep in
mind the fact that color harmony is de-
lghtful, good contrasts equally so, but
color discord is most objectionable. Again,
if one likes repatterned dress fabrics, and
bonnets or hats which are Kaleidoscope,
then a dark self-colored wrap should be
CHOSEN. on the other hand, IL the dress
and head covering are In low tone, or,
better still. self-colored, investment can
safely be made in an out-of-door garment
which will impart a Frightening effect to
the tout ensemble.

This sunny spray-it is the goldenrod;
i think earth never wore a flower so fair
Welcoming June. You know the green
bank where
In summer days we lay upon the sod
Watching the dreamy. willows sway and
nod
At the pools margin? Now rich blooms
are there,
And all the place is changed and seems
aware
OF strange feet following where summer
trod.
The path threads weedy thickets. tall and
rank-
Ironweed, and bramble, and pale touch

Through which the soft lights tremble, or

Lik shards of morning, and upon the

The golden rod has filled a chosen spot
With all the mellow sunshine of a year.

The END of II All.

The proud man, fat with the fat of the
land, .
Dozed back in his silken chair; str
Choice wines of the world, black men to
command,
Rare curios, rich and rare,
Tall Knights in armor on either hand
Yet trouble was In the air.
The proud man dreamed of his young days,
when
He toiled light-hearted and sang all day.
He dreamed again of mis- gold, and Of men
Grown old in his service and hungry and
gray.
Then his two hands tightened a time; and
then
They frightened. and frightened to stay.
All me! this drunkenness, worse thai wine!
This grasping with greedy hold!~
Why, the poorest man upon earth, / opine.
Is the man that has nothing but gold.
How better the love of man divine,
With Gods love, manifold!
They came to the dead man back In his
chair,
Dusk liveried servants that come with
the light;
His eyes stood open with a frightened stare.A
But his hands still frightened. as a wise
is tight.
They opened his -hands-nothing was there,
Nothing but bits Of night.

The summer roses bud, and bloom, and

Yet done with striving and foreclosed

Kindness.


A smile, In kindness bestowed.
May light some dragged, darksome road,
Ger which a pilgrim tolls along,
And turn his weeping into song.
A word may kindle, in some heart,
The dying sparks which, glowing, start,
And blaze, to men and God above.
The warmth Of faith, and hope, and love.
A deed, though trivial it seems,
May waken him who sits and dreams,
Unmindful Of the great worlds fight.
And fill his soul with conquering might.
A life of smiles, kind words, kind deeds,
This is the life which always leads
The sons of men to higher plains,
To broader strife and richer gains
And, though 1t perishes obscure,
Its memory shall still endure,
In lives made sweet by what 1t brought,
And hearts inspired by what it taught.
