HARMONIOUS DRESSING.
1t Is Not Matter of Matching Shades
or Materials.

a clever woman, according to an au
thority on dress, can wear two appar-
emily unlike and unconnected gar
ments and make the world think they
have been intended for each other
from time immemOrial. In illustration
of her meaning madame pointed to a
skirt and waist which were lying
ready to be sent home.
''They do not seem parts of the
same gown, is it not so?' said she,
and the listeners heartily agreed that
they did not. The skirt was Of to-
bacco brown crepon, fiaring to an u1-
usual degree even in this period OF
flares. The waist was of blue silk,
entirely covered with black accordion
plated chiffon. There was no trace
of brown crepon about that bodice.
and DO suggestion of blue silk about
the skirt. The waist had a high collar
and cuffs of gold braid. But madame
assured her hearers that when the
particular woman who was to wear
those garments donned them they
would seem more harmonious than the
blue serge bodice and the blue serge
skirt, which were cut from the same
piece Of goods.
"And so it will be-" continued ma
dame, "when she wears the bodice
with her back silk skirt or her brown
crepon skirt with the green velvet
bodice. 1t all depends on the woman"
The problem Of dressing effectively
is here made easy for the woman who
is sure to possess that particular form
of cleverness admired by madame.

AUTUMN COLORS.
One Each for Blonde and Brunette
and Another for Both.

The new colors this season are
Franchise red, cornfower blue and
Lincoln green.
Cornfower blue is a very trying
color-only blondes can wear it, and
not all of them. There is a certain
type of blonde, with golden hair on
the verge Of red, and very clear, fair
skin, who seems to have been born es-
pecially to wear this color.
The new red might have been made
to even things off Bit for no blonde
could wear it without looking hideous
yet almost any brunette might assume
it without the slightest hesitation. 1t
is slightly on the magenta tone, but
quite dark. The rumor comes from
England that the prevailing color this
winter will be red. This would al
most induce one to believe that COM
mon sense was invading fashion. For
nothing could be more appropriate for
cold winter weather than nice, bright,
warm red-the red which looks so IN
comfortable in summer time.
There is another shade Of red which
is lighter-almoSt rose pink-and this
is very popular for Frightening up
dark hats or dingy dresses.
The popularity Of Lincoln green may
be due in part to the remarkable run
which the opera of robin Hood has
had for so long. This is a good color
for both light and dark types.
In silk mulls there is a turquoise
blue shade which is running a close
race with cornf1ower, and though it is
quite trying it is becoming to a GER
tain style Of brunette.

Persia, of Chicago formally turned his
back upon the unScrupuIouS a~yrera-

betrayed its principles and pledges
throughout the nation. Even the vet
eran Lyman Trumbull has raised the
cry ''nncleanr' and has fed into the
wilderness of pOpulism to fast and
prepare himself to return to his early
love.
And in the business world the name
Of the new converts is legion. Names
like those of Charles A. Morrill,. the
largest tea merchant in Chicago. or of
Mr.. Hoffman, the brewer, are but ex-
ampleS of hundreds who have deter
mined not only to vote the republican
ticket on national issues in November.
but who have formally proclaimed
their adherence of the democratic
policy of perfidy and announced their
determine ton to cast their lots perma-
nently with the party of protection
and prosperity.
II have always been a democrat"
says Mr.. Morrill,, but | have stood
this democratic administration of .af-
fairs just as long as | can Under it
our business has gone to pieces AS
| am an American and want to see
American industries built up and
maintained. and as | know that to be
the policy of the republican party. I
have concluded it is time for me to
change my politics"
Professor Anderson says: Il regard
the conduct of the leaders of the dem
ocratic party in the United States sen
ate, in the state of New York and in
Wisconsin as so discreditable that 1
do not see how any man who values
the honor of his country more than the
success of his party can vote the demo-
cratic ticket this fall"
And now Mons Anderson, the great
La Crosse merchant and old-time
democrat. has squarely bolted. while
the Mckinley parade in Madison last
week was remarkable for the demo
crafts in line.

The destruction of the Chinese army
ut Iinyang, i'll Corea, and the Grip
ping of their fleet at the mouth of the
1aloO river, indicates that the Japan
csc threat that they will march their
soldiers into Pekin before winter, is
by no means an idle one. The YalOo
river is the boundary between Corea
and China, and as it is now the Japan
csc practically control the country.
The territory of North Corea is very
poor, and the Chinese will have to
bring their supplies of food with them,
If they attempt another invasion. The
Japanese will not need a large army
to keep them out, and they can now
center their forces upon China. Pekin
is by no means hard to reach. The
ground between it and the sea is as
fiat as floor, and if the Japanese can
can be landed on the east coast of the
gulf of Pechili, they will be within a
few days march of the great Chinese
capital. The only thing that prevents
them from getting near it by water is
the big forts at the mouth of the Peiho
river. These are manned with Krupp
and Armstrong guns, and Ii Hung
Chang's army is behind them. Wher-
ever they land they will have to fight
what remains Of this army, but vic
tory would mean the capture of Pekin
and the practical subjugation of China.
Pekin is perhaps one of the least

paid two visits to it and spent a month
in it six years ago. During the pres
ent spring l prowled about it's streets
for days and devoted myself to making
d study of the town and its people.
1t is an immense city. 1t contains
about 100000, but these are scat
tered over an area of % square miles,
and the people, as rule, live in one
story houses. The city is surrounded
by walls which were built hundreds Of
years ago and which must have cost
many millions of dollars. These walls
are in good condition, with the excep-
ton of one or two places where the
floods of last winter undermined them
and carried parts of their facings
l"tJ II 10 uil u W give I'LL tAIucIlcdE
an idea of one of these walled cities
of China. The walls of Pekin are 60
feet thick at the bottom. They would
fill the average country road or city
street, and they are as tall as a four
story house. They are so wide at the
top that you could run three railroad
trains side by side around them, and
they are SO solid that the cars would
move more smoothly over these tracks
than they do on the trunk lines be-
tween New York and Chicago These
walls are faced inside and out with
bricks, each as big as d four-dollar
bible, and the space between is filled
with earth and stones so rammed
down that the ages have made the
whole one solid mass. They are built,
in fact, much like the great wall of
China, and the bricks of the two
are almest exactly the same. | have
before me a brick which l brought
from the wall. 1t weighs about 20
pounds, or as much as a 2-year-old
baby. 1t is blue-gray IN color and it
is covered with patches of white lime
mortar, just like those that 1 saw in
the broken places of the walls of
Pekin.
