Mrs, Cleveland wore IL we'll fitting

She was milk faced, like recent young

all of common sense order. Her face,

know how she loves music, they shout

in those days was of corn and other
produce. The leases so made were called

Then the late summer tints-bluet and
pervanche, suggesting lilac as well as
blue shades-wil continue to be worn.
Pinks and reds will be assigned to minor
roles, and will appear generally in con-
nection with black. There are also
the genuine purple tints, from the
light wisteria shades to the deep
bishops purple and a still darker shade
known as Radjah. Black will be fea-
ture of the fall gown. Many costumes
will be entirely black, so that our fall
styles promise to be quiet and in excel
lent taste.
The Septem Der and October hat will
family foreshadow the winter styles, and
still suggest the daintiness of the summer
creations. But little felt will be worn,
until it seems quite certain that the cool
days will be continuous. A substitute
for all felt is the braid of fine felt or satin
strands, forming part of the makeup of a
number of the new hats. These follow
the fancy appearance of the summer

sdIu, III reply TO question:
The notion generally held by those
who have given the sub ect but little at
tention, that there is a rapid decrease of
the veterans in number as a result of
death, is erroneous, judging by the re-
ports of membership and the per capita
tax paid, received by me from the several
departments.
while it is true that the number of
deaths is annually increasing, which is
natural, when we consider that the war
ended nearly thirty years ago, there is no
large decrease of membership in the
Grand Army of the Republic. The re-
turns show slight shrinkage, but that
have no doubt, is merely tho result OF
the hard times and consequent inability
to pay dues TO an association which makes
no direct pecuniary return to its mem
Ders."

that the actual cost Of making

that he and the manufacturer ought TO
