Another model for later wear, when the leaves have dropped and the air gets it's autumnal chill. is of black vel vet with one side close against the face and the other earelessly erumpled to suit the bright, irregular features of typical American beauty, who almost always has a slightly tip-tilted nose and sauey chin. Small pink crysan- themums are pinned inside against the front hair, and a coronal of black os- trich feathers is tied about the tilting crown with huge bow of erysanthe mum pink ribbon.
 But what is called the Marie Antoi- nette shape and promises to be the leading novelty for some months to come is a poke of fine straw with a short back and high steep crown. An uncountable number of little bows of black ribbon arranged in rows is the trimming for one of the newest of these experiments, together with lot of holding black plumes. A hat like this looks a century old, but it is very, very fin de sieele.
 Levi P. Morton's eldest daughter has a Marie Antoinette hat rather more summery in effect and meant for wear in late August. It is quaint affair of white braided straw, trimmed with white satin ribbon bows and black ostrich tips fastened with paste buckles. To go with it Is dress of white yelling with large black chenille spots, wide collar and wide ribbon sash with large sguare bows
 So far as one can now see the fall colors will be golden brown, French blue, tan, black and white, with an oc- casional knot of yellow and green. Silk blouses cannot go out at once, there are always women who will have them. The newest have felt already the ground swell of fashion and are

aldermen there have passed an ordi- nance to put checks on boomers. l" Pausing for the ovation which came not, he continued: "I thought this would interest you, Birdie, in eonnec- tion with your plans for bicycle cos tume."
 The next poster Mrs. Tramway fshed out she gazed at intently. Then turn ing to Mr. Tramway she asked:
 Do you call this art, or nature, CT was the artist on his way to. the Keeley cure?"
 ssWhy, Birdie, that is one of Plum champs best effortsl''
 Do you call that an effort? Why, that is as easy as making a crazy quilt. Look at the green coat, the red gloves, and his face is in blue-and such face! He looks as if he had been reading something in the magazine that made him sick, and the girl-she looks like something the eat had brought in 5
 "Birdie" interrupted Mr. Tramway, ''the maker of that design is one of the best American artists. You are so lit- eral-so praetieal-you go at art just as you would tackle weeks wash Now, you must bear in mind, posters are not made to be examined so closely. Yon must place them at distance to have them look their best"
 "Oh, yes, l should say the farther off they were the better they'd look, mur- mured Birdie, with an innocent look in her baby eyes.
 ''This artist has studied abroad and doubtless is more or less permeated with the chiaroscuro of the continental ateliers, while his work is finished with the veneer of the modern French pre- Raphael symbolism.
 Birdie looked at him moment, then responded: Now understand. Why, of course; 1 think it even prettier than

THE WOMAN OF FASHION.
Hints as to Autumn Gowns and
 Hats.
New York Designers Are Studying the Styles of the Days of Louis XVI. Smaller Sleeves Are Sure
 ly Coming.
COPYRIGHT IsoS

It Is almost autumn, and we ask. even II we get no answer, what are we going to wear? It is simple guess work as yet, in spite of disserta- tons from people gifted in the art of setting forth the unknowable. Fashion works along certain lines, and one has only to follow the trend of her tenden- c1es to get-somewhere, whether she may or may not follow.
 Bearing in mind this principle, it is reasonably safe to get interested in Louis XVI. All the New York design CTS who are going to Paris to study and to evolve models are being sent to Yer sailles to sit down before the old pictures of the bouffant skirts, the pointed waists, the sashes and the fchus worn by the unhappy queen and her ladies, when they shut so inef- fectually the gates of Trianon on the sound of the approaching revolution. Without waiting for the verdict of the designers the sashes and fichus have been accepted, and some of the trous- seaus already in preparation for early autumn marriages show very consid- erable faith in the coming empire of smaller sleeves, basque effects and skirts that are full over the hips.
 The dress, for instance, in which Miss Edith Minturn will travel across the continent after her wedding with

made with Louis XVI. bows. A very pretty one is of chameleon taffeta, showing blue, red or brown as the light happens to shine. It has q broad red ribbon starting from under each arm and tied across the bosom in large square Louis XVI. bow. The belt of q similar ribbon has just such another bow behind. Rhinestone buckles fasten both, and the round neck is finished with silk frill in knife plaits drawn through a buckle under the chin.
 Velvet blouses are being made with fur and jet trimmings, but these are hideous except for very slender women. There are even Marie Antoinette blouses, which are made with collar and belt of the silk and big plaited fchu.
 But it is in evening dress that last century modes.will tell to the best ad- vantage. Large figured satin bro cades are on the market and the dresses into which they will be cut arc to have full circular skirts for the proper glori- fcation of the design. Such a skirt calls for fitted satin bodice cut low, pointed at the waist and yelled across the shoulders with costly lace fchu.
 Tailor dresses for autumn wear will be much buttoned The latest are of dull silver or gold and are as big as peas. Flat steel buttons rival them in popularity, and are set on in rows, to trim tho bodice or skirt or both and the belt too.
 Autumn capes are rather short, as thus far displayed, and are made of plush with round yoke and wide band of em- broidery. ALICE AMoRY.

Mir. Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes is of dull-green wool f1ecl1ed with a warm red here and there. It is, furthermore, very interesting example of the hesi- tancy between the reigning styles and the styles that are expected to reign; for the skirt is slightly frilled over the hips, and yet, like the spring skirt and the summer skirt, it flares toward the hem. It is a fitted basque with point in front and one behind. Instead of the soft surplice corsage, without which dressmaker hardly knows how to dressmake, it has an elaborate braid ed yoke in red and green. There are rather small gigot sleeves, but the real novelty of the outfit is the jacket, which is very short ,c1ose-ftting in the pack but loose and double-breasted in front, with narrow revers and several rows of smoky pearl buttons set with gold rims
 Another going away dress,' this this time for very youthful blonde whose marriage will be one of New ports sensations in September, is of shot green and blue cloth with a skirt that takes less cloth than the modistes have been using, though it is so full over the hips that to get the result aimed at godet hip panels have been set In. These panels are fastened down with pearl buttons, otherwise the skirt is untrimmed The waist is a tiny pointed bodice, with loose front of silk shot with green and blue. The cholSer is a straight silk band and the sleeves are just moderately full, with lace ruffies falling over the lower arm.
 It usually happens that one knows about hats before one knows about gowns. Some of the leading milliners have a few early models from Paris, and to tell about them sounds as if one were taking the description from the costumes of the Queens Necklace" :" where the toilets were those worn by Marie Antoinette in her gayest, most carefree days.
 A hat ordered by Mrs. George Gould for the coming fall is of fine yellowish straw bent down over the face, turned up sharply in the back, and with pi- quant folds and convolutions on the sides. The crown is rather low and about it is plating of black lace and white velvet, standing up like coronet, tied with crimson ribbon figured Dres- den fashion in white and black and knotted behind in a big bow. Fine crimson flowers are fastened under the brim and droop, like biood-red tassels, over the hair.

Everybody who is anybody will attend.
 Miss Whitney's trousseau has al- ready been ordered from Paris. The wedding dress is to be white satin trimmed with pearls and the veil will be surmounted by the famous jeweled diadem for which Mrs w. c. Whitney is understood to have paid sixty thon- sand dollars. Young Cornelius Wander bilt will be an usher and Miss Alta Rockefeller bridesmaid. Shortly be- fore her own wedding Miss Whitney will act as bridesmaid at the coming Rockefeller wedding. Whatever may have been thought of the Sloane affair, the Whitney one promises to exceed it in splendor Mr. and Mrs. Grover Cleveladd will certainly attend and one of Gov. Morton's daughters is also to be bridesmaid. As a gathering of great person; es, the nuptials of this young lady will live long in social annals as a very field of the cloth of gold among occasions of the sort. The cost will beggar calculation and Cupid will bathe iL golden fountains indeed.

the world by his marriage. For one thing he is anxious to bestow higher code of ethics upon Tammany and he has been losing many of the traits which in former days made him con spieuous as leader among the boys. Grant professes to be one of the boys no longer and his wife has been the in- strument of that momentous alteration in him. Mrs. Grant has said that what ever it is right for her husband to do is right fer her to do, and that if Mir. Grant becomes one of the boys so will she. So MT. Grant may feel under ob- legations to behave like very sedate citizen.

piercing as her common or garden-call- to.breakfast voice.. What! exhibit those oh-oh-pictures in the pure air of our church vestry! Why, Anthony Comstocl1 would have the house dragged" So saying she held up the first sheet that caught her eye, design in red, yellow and blue, by Cheret, DOT traying the dancing figure of bold female in costume too simple to de- Scribe-a kind of a cross between the summer bathing dress of Hottentot and brand-new baby, fresh from the mint.
 "0h, that" said Mr. Tramway, patronizingly, that, you know, is French!"
 French" shrilled Birdie; ''well, I don't know French, but l know that woman oughtn't to be let out of the house without at least a petticoat and corset cover on.
 "Petticoat?" interrupted Mr. Tram way; "corset cover? Why, my dear Birdie, that is called the best that the famous Cheret has ever executedf'
 Well. he ought to be executed, and Id like to be the one to pull the rope. /"
 "Oh!" interrupted Mr. Tramway, you always draw the line so sharp, my dear You women can't appreciate art, if it's anything out of the common"
 q can't appreciate things that are uncommonly improper" agreed Mrs. Trampay, looking far from aequieseent as she fished another picture from the roll. ssNow, husband, what might this be?''
 Well, responded Mr. Tramway, "it might be Napoleon crossing the Dela- ware, or it might be. Trilby discover ing Moses in the bullrushes, but it isn't. Now, if you will give up your usual cus-

 That, emy dear" replied Mir. Tram way, lis simply a decorative design. Can't you get onto the curves? This is made by Gadley, a Chicago artist, who, for work of this character, stands at the head"
 "Well, he must have stood on his head when he made that!' said the ap- preciative Mrs. Tramway. What does it all mean? Oh! perhaps it is to illus trate the story of lady lost in d laby- rinth or, has that sicl-lool1ing cat in the corner unwound a ball of yarn all round the dug-up looking woman? It makes me crawl to see those things twisted all round her. Husband, don't you think that artist drinks too much sometimeS?"
 MT. Tramway removed the design tepderly from Brides fingers and she gathered up the next one, exclaiming "Oh, this is nice! l suppose it is to ad- vertise the New York horse show"
 Now, Birdie, that was made by the great French artist, Grasset. It repre- sents Napoleon"
 "Oh, yes! see him now, behind the horses mane."
 "some of these pictures have sold, my dear, for five dollars each"
 ''Five dollars" shrieked Birdie. Five dollars! Do you mean to say, husband, that you gave up five good dollars for that circus bill! You must be cracked on queer things"
 sPerhaps, that's why married you, my love-" said husband, as he cautious ly slipped behind large armchair.

been wondered, for instance, that MT. Cleveland makes no utterance himself on the subject. But the president has high idea of the dignity of his posi- tion and on that account would never dream of placing himself in the posi- of Miss Betty Baxter who refused Capt. Crown before he asked her. Again the assertion that William c. Whitney has been chosen as MT. Cleveland's polit- ieal legatee Is based upon nothing more terrible than the fact that the former was in the latters confidence from the start and has been written to freely by the chief magistrate upon the subject of third terms in general. MT. Cleveland Is believed to consider it almost insult ing to the people of the country to form ally refuse to allow his name to be considered for q third term and his official declination of one would imply derogatory impression to the contrary. The president, in- deed, is very much hurt at the attitude he has been made to assume by certain indiscreet southern friends of his. It is even alleged that he has purposely been ehuo CiAod1i d9SCo pY hoU a ISH VI hio pseudo friends
 Accordingly, it can be positively stated that all third term talk is sheer burlesqae. No one believes in it who is friendly to the president. Mir Whitney has no arrangement with any one to secure the falling mantle. Be sides, MT Cleveland is going abroad in 1897 For the past five years he has talked of the pleasure and profit he would derive from foreign travel. He knows next to nothing of lands outside of his own, and he is particularly eager to visit Japan and China. Among the men with whom Mr. Cleveland has talked over these projects are Col. Lamont, Mir. Thurber and Richard 0lney. The president would spend about two years abroad.
 Now, however, MT. Cleveland feels that he has been made just trifle ridiculous. He simply cannot de any thing. 1t would be absurd for him to refuse third term. 1t would be in- sane to express willingness to accept one. The presidential situation is thus Arthurian in that the hand of destiny rises out of the ocean of politics with no answering palm to grasp it. The simile is Speaker Crisp's, and now deemed very opposite.

 wizard of Wall street would has been the champion bigamist of his day. Not one of the Gould heirs has conde- seconded to notice the claim thus sensa- tionally set up. The Vanderbilt fam fly have heretofore been the principal sufferer from these alleged wives The late William H. Vanderbilt was claimed by more than one woman not very long after his death as her lawful husband. But nothing more serious than offers of compromise resulted from such incl dents. Of course, it would occasion tremendous sensation were these par ticular women's claims substantiated; but the developments of the past two weeks fail to reveal anything of the least tangible nature te make good the self-styled Mrs. Gould's allegations. As is known to New Workers there exists in the metropolis bureau organized for the special purpose of affording to alleged millionaires' wives, for Il con- sideration, financial support of an ade- quate nature. This bureau is under stood to lave looked into this claim and to have then declined to afford it any support whatever.

 lesson, so far as policy Is concerned. It behooves it to demonstrate that the po- lice of d great city in this country can be absolutely divorced from politics. Commissioner Grant is known to have taken this view and to have declared that under no circumstances will he consent to be placed in antagonism to his colleagues.
 It has just leaked out as 0 result of this little episode that President Cleveland was much opposed to the se- lection of MT. Roosevelt as a member of New Yorlc's police board. This was owing to his anxiety to retain the great Theodore in the na- tional civil service commission. He sent for Mir. Roosevelt and asked him to give up the idea of becoming New York police commissioner, but the lat ter declared that he had already pledged his word. It appears further that the other commissioners were ap- pointed with the understanding that they would make Mr. Roosevelt presi- dent of the board. It may be of inter- est to bicyclers to know, by the way, that among the things upon which this much talked of board is q unit is oppo- sition to the use of boomers on what are deemed improper occasions. That is, the commissioners do not object to boomers upon genuine bicycle girls, but New York of late has witnessed various unseemly and spectacular uscs of boomers, and this new problem will
 
 be very suinmarily dealt with.

Bayard feels an almost boyish delight in his importance and prestige as our diplomatic representa- tive in Great Britain. His opportunity to distinguish himself has been taken advantage of to the full. His unwill- ingnass to relinquish his post is also due to keen appreciation of its social delights. He has already made him. self very popular with Englishmen and he would not like to come ingloriously home just as he began to warm, so to speak, to his work. Therefore all as- sertions that Mir.

He has in his office petrifed arm, which looks like a piece of marble. He claims that antiseptic gas can now be manufac- tured as cheaply as any fluid in use for embalming After the gas has been in- jected, the doctor says, the body will gradually solidify and turn white as marble, even to the nails and hair, but the latter only close to the skull.
