THE YACHT R4OE.

The English in England are discour-
aged by the result of the first contest
between VallSyrie and Defender. And
no wonder. Hope deferred maketh
the heart sick. Their hope of getting
the cup has been long deferred, and
they are pretty sure now that it is
to be deferred some more. The Pail
Mall Gazette mournfully says: We fear
there is no Americas cup this year
for Lord Dunraven. The better boat
won, as it is likely to win every time.
The chief defect of Valkyrie, to which
we have on several occasions alluded,
is the fuss she makes going through
the water. The conditions of the first
match, therefore, were much against
her. With a calm surface she may do
better, but in stronger winds she is not
likely to do so well. English yachts
men may console themselves as best
they can with recollections of Britain
MAS triumphs over Navahoe and vigi-
liant.
The interest in this country in the
second trial. which is to take place to-
day. is not intense. There will be no
surprise if the Defender wins. and
there will be much if she shouldn t
happen to.

the side seams. The skirt is I'M
trimmed and a black felt hat is worn
that is trimmed with green velvet rib
bons and small sprays of foliage.
The present high swathing Of the
throat will soon give way to the collar
cut low at the rise of the neck and fin
ished with a wide frill of flowing lace.
This is a most trying fashion, and woe
to the woman of thin face and slender
neck! But the girl whose rosy face is
set on a round throat like a. flower on a
stem will make a brand new hit in the
new fashion, fascinating as she has
been looking in stocks and swathings.
Till really cold weather comes, deep fiat
collars slashed over the shoulder to al
low room for the sleeves will be worn,
and all sorts of muslin neck arrange
ments will retain their vogue for dispo-
sal about the throat Even a clerical
effect is to be ventured by bib-like ex-
panses of stiff linen about the neck and
shoulders. This means that many a
complexion that safely withstood mid
summers heat will vet have a severe
trial in the autumn.
A. pretty variation on the round
shoulder cape is one that has ends
crossing in front like a Marie Antoi-
nette fichu To the woman who has a
pretty waist and handsomely curved
figure this fashion is less ungenerous
than the round cape, which, no matter
how stylish in itself, hides the figure
entirely. FLORETTE.

For Women of the Rubens Type.
from Harper's Bazar.1


A fresh white gown is always an
agreeable sight in itself, but plain
white and all pale colors are sure to en-
large the apparent size of the figure,
and require skilful art in designing the
dress, To find color which makes
ones size look small, take the stuffs
into a twilight, and observe which
show darkest; those colors, or garments
of those colors, will be the ones to
choose, at least for walking costumes,
for large women. Large but weIl-sub-
dued plaids or brocades have a good eff

wide spaces. Broad diagonal or creme
has a similar effect, and every one
knows that vertical stripes impart a
tall and slender appearance.
The stout woman's beauty is Of the
magnificent and stately order, and
must be clothed in massive folds or am
pie drapery, not scant and tight pat

In refined trim curves, because the true
classic drapery is simply out of the
question for ordinary women's wear ait
present. Classic folds would really
glorify the stout woman. as they did
the old Roman expresses and matrons:
but, as I said, that is out of the cues
ton. So much the worse. There must.
then, be corsets and a well-fitted bod

cal or serpentine lines, a, generous
wealth of material to correspond with
the form it covers.

seam around the front, about two or

the back cut in one piece-these should

The fact that Mrs. Samuel Mckee,
of Pittsburg, broke her fan the other
day is chronicled as a misfortune by
the Pittsburg newspapers for the reason
that there is only one other fan like
1t in existence, and that is the property
of Mrs. U. S. Grant. Each of the fans
was the gift of Minister Bingham when
he returned from Japan, and the dis
covery of the resemblance was made
when the two ladies met at recep-

eral and Mrs. Grant from their tour of
the world. The fans are of delicately
transparent shell. beautifully decorated

One of the disagreeable consequences
of death in California is that when
millionaires die, whether married or sin
gle, unsupported children arise to claim
their rights. This has become so COM

But the latest case is unusual even in
California. Alexander P. Moore, mil
lionaire, died a bachelor and intestate.
His heirs were four sisters, q brother
and a niece, who had agreed upon a
distribution of the estate. Suddenly
the usual illegitimate son appeared.
He called himself J. H. Q. Moore and de

$40, 900. But when one of the dead
mans sisters objected to acknowledge
ing the claim, on the ground that 1t
would besmirch her brothers good

to sign a declaration that he was not
the son. Thus he lays claims to a
share of the estate because ne is the
son and then receives it through adj
uniting that he IS not.
