paratory to being hauled to the surface. In

Fur with rich green Lyons velvet,
lined with old gold brocade. Fur in
huge rolling collar, in strip down the
front on each side, in the tails and
paws used as trimmings.
Fur with jet, velvet, passementerie
and lace, all in one garment!
Winter will be worth while that
shows us NIL these wonders of the
street. Surely never before was a ma
terial so dignified and rich as fur used
in combinations with such perishable,
delicate fabrics.
Is "silver-foX" offered? | have read
of Il dealer who says that less than two
hundred silver foxes are taken in all
the world in a year, and that all these,
practically, go to Russia to be worn by
princesses. A single skin is worth one
hundred and thirty to three hundred
dollars, and a fox is absurdly small.
But dealers are enterprising What
will they do if the fur seal really be-
comes extinct? Can the characteristic
fur of this long suffering beast be imi-
tated? doubt if it has been yet, and
for this reason seal is pretty safe fur
to buy.
Green is good rich color, not quar-
relsome against others, and key to
strong combinations. A chrysanthe-
mum green cloth walking dress have
seen which is a dream. The deep.
square collar reveals bit of mulberry
velvet at the throat. The edging of
the collar and of the cuffs is sable fur,
and tho tails ira ,vor1ra1 into tho front
of the bodice The buttons are of sill
yer repousse, the skirt is lined with
mulberry satin. The toque is of green
cloth and mulberry chenille, vel
vet roses of the mulberry hue, and an
osprey's ravaged plumage. 1t is the
very soul of somber autumn, glowing
at heart.
What gown that would be for an
autumn brides trousseau! The au-
tumn bride demands her share of at
tention and perhaps little more. In
actual wedding gowns there is-well,
the merest trifle of change, hardly no
ticeable at glance at the big sleeves,
the medallion front, the long, plain, or
lace edged train. The going-away gown
and the brides reception and dinner
gowns are quite otherwise, and usually
represent the latest breath of tickle
fashion. Certainly this is the case
with going away costume which
have been admiring in a friends trous-
seau. The loose, plain bodice front
buttons with big buttons, the skirt is
plain, the material of all n smooth
gray cloth. Over the blouse bodice, and
over the big sleeves falls almost to the
waist triple cape with wide. euhroi-

tainly has returned.
should have said that this fashion
able in the extreme garment was
crowned by hat which can only be
described as an hour glass crown on
very wide brim, with huge plumes and
bows, all in black. The steeple crown
is robbed of its full effect by the wide
brim, reminding one of the contending
and mutually nullifying principles of
Orlnuzd and Abriman.
And speaking of hats, it may be well
to add that the steeple crown, though
quite advisable, is to be by no means
common. Far more usual is the hat
with no crown at all, or the mere faint
indication of one, scarce rising from it's
enormous brim.
For the brims are enormous. A tiny
close-itting crown, shallow as as aucer,
insecurely supports a structure two
feet wide over all and with an enor-
nous sail area. Cocks plumes, ostrich
feathers, steel or rhinestone ornaments,
velvet and satin Dresden ribbon are in
favor as garnishes.
AS to the bodies of these aspiring
creations, count felt and chenille in the
lead, and add that velvet is favored
material in millinery, as it is with
dress and cloak maker and even with
the furrier.
There is absolutely no change in the
kniclerbocl1er situation. Plenty Of
moral, intelligent and good-loolsing
women are wearing bicycle bloomers,
but have yet to hear of one society
leader following the Paris pointer
The bloomers may be none the worse
for that. ELLEN OSBORN.

Hobbies, the English writer, otherwise
known as Mrs. Craigie, has just secured
a divorce because she was miserable in
matrimonial life. Gossip now has it
that she is going to marry George
Moore, the novelist, with whom she has
collaborated in several stories. One
would think that she was leaping out
of the brambles into the briers doing
this, for two geniuscS are as bad as an
army in the amount of damage they
can wreak. The artistic and literary
instincts produce in person sort of
irrationaliSm, restless morbidness,
tender nerves and n large demand for
sympathetic tolerance, and if an un-
comprehcnding husband is unable to
give this a husband of like tempera-
ment is more than apt to refuse to give
it. Women of genius usually have
checlIered lives George Eliot, with
her strong intellect and knowledge of
cause and effect, was not proof against
the matrimonial fate of literary women,
as her various welded and unwedded
experiences show.
Ouida seems to have had prescience
of what would follow if she married,
and so wisely stayed single. Can any
one imagine Ouida married? Much as
she stoutly admires men, she could
never make one happy. He would shoot
himself or get manglCd somehow when
she turned on him stream of her biting,
withcring, dcvilishly sarcastic elo-
quence, poured forth all for his benefit
Eloquence of that sort is admirable on
paper and directed in an opposite line,
but when there is hint of the per-
sonal in it it becomes uncomfortable.
Ouida trying to fry potatoes following
on cataclysm in the kitchen; Ouida
moaning over an unreachable cobweb
or musing on the turning possibilities
in q worn gown; Ouida mixing n salad
dressing or sewing on "A suspender but
ton-oh, no! it is impossible to conceive
1t is not charitable to advise geniuses
to stay single, for they need the fullest
of life to expand in and in which to
spread their minds; yet the history of
their matrimonial tangles is but his
tory of the divorce courts. The men
who are talented are as unfortunate as
they are. A little American actress,
who was married to n prominent writer
of plays, threw up her hands when her
divorce was mentioned. "Yes," she
cried, 81 am divorced from him at last!
My dear, whatever you do, never marry
genius!" Her dramatic emphasis was
sufficient to express poor Jane Carlyle's
unspolxen thought and Harriet Shell
ley's and that of Shakespeare's neg
lccted wife and their innumerable sis
ters. When the genius is on the fem
mime side of the house the result is
worse.

GENIUS AND MARRIAGE.
Mrs. Burnett Is the Latest Un-
happy Literary Woman"
She Earned the Family Money for Many
Years and Then Forgot to Look
Up to Her Husband-Other
Matrimonial Failures.

Frances Hodgson Burnett is the latest
woman to add proof to the theory that
genius on the feminine side of the fam
lily does not make a happy home. "In-
compatibility of temper" is the sad ex-
cuse put forth when homes like hers
are broken up.
1t has never been known to fail when
a woman's power of earning money is
greater than that of her husband that
breakers are ahead, and it is an irrefuta-
bic law of nature that it should be So
A woman of large inheritance who
marries poor man has the advantage
of him in certain way, but the woman
who earns the family money possesses
an advantage gigantic in comparison
and as impossible to overlook or deny
as if it were tangible.
No womanly woman, says the Chi
cago News, rclishes being married to
man to whom she cannot look up in all
respects and whom she does not feel
superior to her in many ways. Re-
formers may howl themselves black
but they can't alter this stern fact one
bit And when woman discovers that
she has much more talent and larger
head for business than her husband
there is going to creep into her heart
first surprise, then pity and then care
less contempt. A man does not shine
in this kind of light. In Mrs. Burnett's
case her husband is as talented as she,
though in different direction. DR..
Swami NJ. Burnett is one of the leading
oculists of the country. To be sure,
direction with money earned by writ
ing; still, that was no discredit, pro-
vided the couple had amicably under
stood one another. Mrs. Burnett has
lived in Europe most of the time for
the last few years, and when home she
and her husband were only formally
polite; congeniality of spirit seemed
entirely wanting.
Other literary women have shared
the same experience. John Oliver

sal rule of falling of prices, and so am
sure it is pleasant to know how one can
make such excellent use of a very little
of it as in the handsome red cloth cape
with diamond patterns in black braid,
which l have been admirlng. Or its
companion garment, long evening
oak of dark heliotrope cloth, lined
with a lighter shade and with silver
brocade; with jet ornaments, a roll col

Eton and zouave shapes becomingly,
for there will be considerable run
upon fur garments in these cuts this
autumn. Another popular fur garment
will be the cape, either of fur entirely
or of cloth with fur collar and
second, shorter cape overlapping the
longer one. Slim young women will
find short, loose-fronted sealshin coats
recommended to them, but in longer
garments both economy and the wish
to avoid crushing weight will point to
combinations of fur and cloth.
A pelisse of black satin merveilleux
is an example.
1t has Vatican folds in the back, is
lined behind with rose and black bro
cade, but at the sides and in the front
with squirrel lock. The square collar,
like Puritan's neck bands, only
broader, the inner collar coming close
about the throat, and the cuffs are
lined with mink.
Sleeved or sleeveless, all fur garments
have to be made roomy enough at tho
sides to shelter the big sleeves of the
moment
Furs are sometimes continued, as in
a cape of black Persian lamb with n
shoulder cape edged with sable tails,
and cascade of these tails falling
down the front, even below the hem.
A coat and skirt costume of Persian
lamb with ermine collar is another
combination. May 1 humbly venture
the opinion that neither of these is
equal in good taste or beauty to the
i
satin with soft fur.
These are novelties in the use of fur:
Fur with an applique of velvet upon
pale satin, in Paisley or Dresden de-
signs, the satin shining beneath and
between the velvet bars.
Fur over a silvery brocade with
groups of blurred china flowers in deli
cate. faded colors.

FILLED CHEESE.

HOard3s Dairyman: We extend our
thanks to Mr.. Elston, secretary of the
Muscoda dairy board, for forwarding
a copy of his annual report of the
sales of cheese at that point for 1894.
Will not other secretaries follow his
good example? The totals reported
ou::at t.; open the eyes of Wisconsin
Legislators to the necessity of extending
proper protection to this industry.
MuScOda and the county tributary
thereto contributes only a limited frac-
tion of the total output of cheese in
this state, but the record shows q
334,120 pounds of cheese sold there,
bringing in 5000, 400.
Mr.. Simon, Of Neenah, in a letter
which was recently published in the
Milwaukee Sentinel, shows very CON
clusively, by comparing prices of Wis
cOnsin and New York cheese for a
few years past, that the flled-cheese
frard-so carefully nurtured by public
officials in WiscOnsin-has cut down
the price of Wisconsin fuIl-cream
cheese fully two cents per pound. This
shows that the farmers who produced
the milk for the cheese sold at Mus
coda were mulcted in the sum of
SAG ,6S2.4O, which is probably at the
rate of about ten dollars per cow.
