weaves are the principal fabrics in
drab. Mouse beaver and undyed seal
are also new colors, but they are all
somewhat OF the drab shades, though
lacking the purplish tint in the Quaker
drab.
Novelty goods in brocades of silk and
wool, mostly in Persian patterns, will
be used quite extensively, particularly
for trimmings and corsages. The most
refined taste would suggest q sparing
use Of such material. Many Of the drab
materials Will be made with no trim
ming other than folds, stitching and
drapery. Ore very ladylike tailor gown
of drab ladies' cloth had a peculiar ar
rangement on the skirt, three deep side
plaits being let in the front under pocket
straps Of biscuit cloth, fastened with
oxidized buttons. The belt and collar
were arranged in the same manner.
The waist was laid in similar plaits,
and the sleeves were laid in plaits so
that they fell in q looped puff on the
outer side Of the arm. About the whole
dress there was not one point of color,
but it made a dressy toilet.
"A gown made Of moss green camel 3
hair, with a russell bloom, was made
with five plaits on the right side Of the
skirt, in form of a panel, and on the
left side the skirt was slightly lifted un-

large balloon puffs made by gathering
the goods very full under narrow line
of jet trimming The front Of the waist
was a full plated vest of chameleon
silk, red. green and ivory There were
stiff bretelles made of lace over founda-

There is no diminution in the width
OF the shoulders. There are some few
ladies who do not like such wide effects,
but the fashion remains the same. Some
of the new models are almost ridicu-

slider rather impressive, but which is
really only dignified and self contained
So much for Mrs. Williams appear
ance. Of her character only those who
know her most intimately can judge her
most accurately. One of its noblest and
most attractive features is that she never
speaks harshly of any one, and that she
resolutely shuts her ears against idle
gossip. If she knows aught to the credit
of the absent, she will say it. If she
cannot truthfully say anything good,
she will say nothing at all.
OF Mrs. Williams work her many
readers will doubtless judge for them
selves 1t is a rather curious fact that it
is only within a few years that she has
turned her attention to story writing, in
which branch of literature her success
has been marked and rapid. Her style is
crisp and sparkling, brimful of native
wit, but betraying withal an undercur-
rent of feeling that betollens her deep
sympathy with and keen knowledge Of
humanity. Her characters are always
well defined, and though frequently ir-
rational are ever intensely human. Her
love of the south and her thorough IA
miliarity with the complexities of ne
gro life and lore render her southern
sketches peculiarly entertaining.
A versatile and busy writer always,
Mrs. Williams enters into whatever
work she may undertake with equal
earnestness. She composes directly upon
the typewriter but with extreme care
and precision, never revising or rewrit-
ing and but rarely ever reading her work
after it is once finished. Her newspaper
articles are exceptionally bright and in
teresting and find ready acceptance,
while her poems dainty or vigorous, as
the mood may demand, are always deli
cate in phrasing and perfect in rhythm.
But no sketch Of Mrs. Williams work
would be complete without mention Of
her essays. Prose poems they may well
be styled, for they rank among the best
productions of their kind among Eng
Iish speaking nations, betraying a sub
tlety of feeling and an originality of
thought and diction that amount to posi-
tive genius.
A collection Of these delightful little
essays, published a little more than a
year ago, is among the gems of modern
literature. In these delicate pen pictures
of woodland life, which could have been
written by no other than daughter of
Gods country" Mrs. Williams shows
herself to be sincere and sympathetic
student of nature, possessing the power
to portray with her pen more faithfully
than many artists with the pencil Es-
sentially a child Of nature herself, she
has lived so near to natures heart that
she has learned, perhaps unconsciously,
to echo its pulsations. Her story, 1.-THE
Overton Claim" is considered one of her
best works Of fiction by the lady herself,
and it promises to further enlarge her
steadily widening fame.

Allen drew Dare to him and led her
out into the fresh, dripping morning
As they crossed the threshold where
their fate had so strangely eliminated
he said, looking over his shoulder at the
rigid figure they left behind:
