FASHION NOTES.

Melanges are attractive materials.
Heather mixtures in soft gray are
seen.
Bouche is now used for golfng and
outing capes.
The correct walking boot is to have
broad sole this winter.
Colored velvets are found in shades
more numerous than ever before.
Black grain brocade is beauti.
ful and, at the same time, serviceable.
Closely woven etamines make toll
cites of the most stylish appearance.
Illumine epingel,nG, and illumine
popline are excellent for tailor made
gowns and street costumes.
"Schen.schin" is tie newest shade
OF pink. 1t is the color of Japanese
roses when they first begin to bloom.
Coverts are as simple in color as the
newer materials and can be made up
into costumes for windy weather that
are hard to excel.

tains often put on trousers, as there
are some ascents that could not be
safely made in skirts.
Thread and thread is a clever ar
rangement of color combinations and
weave. Blue and white, brown and
white, and tan and white go we'll to-
gether.
Changeable taffetas seem to have
come to the front again. Every sea.
son the colors of these material
change with the fashion. Beautiful
combinations are seen.
Plush will be much used for capes
and jackets. To those who are striv-
ing to economize, plush is very useful
as it wears better than velvet. Chine
silks with plush stripes are seen.
Revers, collars, cuffs, made from
velvet, often will have upon them
appliques of lace. The woman who is
handy at making Honiton, this winter
may, with little expense, dress in the
height of fashion.
Silk waists of spotted or howered
pattern have yokes of ribbon and lace
alternating. In one model the lace
and ribbon are joined with cord, and
this is drawn up SO as to produce tiny
putfs, which are very pretty and ef-
! iectiye.
Alpacas in narrow and wide stripes,
in combination of black and white, or
black and pearl gray are the materials
of which the most fashionable alter
noon costumes are nude, A light gray
alpaca with diagonal rows of dark
colored circles is especially beautiful.
Silk mixed halrline is one of the
most refined looking material for au,
tumn, The color of the groundwork
is generally blu, bronze, green, or
brown, and tue six is introduced in
stripes. There IS slight indication
OF mixture in the groundwork and the
goods present an elegant appearance
when made up.

A MOUNTAIN PRINCESS.

The marriage of the Crown Prince,
Victor Emmanuel of Italy, to Princess
Helene of Montenegro, which has lust
been celebrated, is somewhat out of
the beaten path of royal alliances,
and, indeed, has some admixture Of
romance. Prince Victor might have
chosen BRIDE from any of the great
Catholic courts of Europe and received
a royal dowry with her. He turned
from these and made a love match,
choosing a princess born amid the
mountains, UnacCustomed to the splen-
dor of courts, and whose only dowry
is a wealth of physical beauty un-
equaled in the world. From one point
OF view the Prince has chosen wisely,
for he himself is of delicate frame,
and an admixture of mountain blood
may save his dynasty.
From the Montenegrin side the
alliance is great one, for the father
OF the future Italian queen rules a
domain bat little larger than our own
State OF Delaware, containing scarcely
200, 600 people. Rude mountaineers
that they are, with but few of the con.
yeniences and none of the refnements
OF modern times, they have a history

woMEN's VOICES.

The voice of the average woman
about us is not pleasant; it is not
round and fute-like. A harsh, strident
quality is taking the place OF the low,
soft, rich quality which belongs TO
them, and which all might have if
they sought it, One reason is the
lack of proper training as girls grow
up, and another is the odd habit many
have of taking each other down, not
waiting for the completion of sem
tences, but piling up unfinished sem
tences and unconsciously raising the
voice in the effort to do so.-Detroit

A Burglars Umbrella,


Among a collection of articles re.
Gently used by burglars when engaged
in their "work" is one p tlcular con
trivance that arous sd general interest.
In appearance 1t resembles large um
brella- that has seen hard service.
II was formerly the property OF a
burglar, and it was by its means that
he was able to enter the second story
of building. Removing the cover,
stick, wound with ropes, is revealed.
The stick opens like n telescope or a
jointed fishing rod. Wound around it
is a rope ladder, made of strong ma.
terial, and about thirteen feet in
length. The ladder is only wide
enough for one foot to be placed on
the rungs.
The extending stick was used to
raise one end of the ladder to the win
dow through which the operator
wished to enter, and on the upper end
of the ladder are two hooks to be fast
ened to the sill. This imitation um-
brella is regarded as one of the most
ingenious affairs ever made use of by
thief.
