ly finished.
Among the new shades in mohair,
English serge and bourette fabrics for
travelling costumes touchwood and mas
turtium are the newest shades in brown
The new repped fabrics are softer and
richer looking than ever, but the chief
distinguishing feature Is found in the
beautiful color blending effected In the
weaving.
The rage for the early part Of the
winter season will be for cape collars,
oddly shaped collarettes, fichus with
long stole ends and bolero, zouave and
Eton jackets made Of furs innumerable.

ferred by great majority of women to
the abnormally long. stiff dress" cor
set, which gives al unnatural look to
the figure.
Many Of the yokes and chatelaine and
mutton leg sleeves on French and Eng
lish gowns are laid in tucks that are
often ] u inches wide. Heavy fabrics
for day wear, even velvets, are tucked
quito as often rs delicate textiles for
evening uses
Black costumes are always in style
to n certain degree, but they take a
prominent place this season, not, how
ever, interfering at all with the elegant
costumes in their endless colorings, but
giving fine rich contrast and back
ground to the more brilliant attire.
The seven gored skirt appears to be
the favorito model among tho newest
styles, although there are dozen shapes
from different designers. All, however,
are considerably alike in effect The
flare still remains at the bottom of the
skirt, but il is somewhat reduced. -

SILK.

In 1910 tho silk factories Of Prussia
employed $4,000 operators.
In l7l4 the first regular silk mill in
England was put in operation at Derby.
The size Of each thread, as spun by
the silllworm, is one two-hundredths
] part Of an inch in diameter.
The official executioner of the sultan
Of Turkey uses a silken cord in stran-
Cling persons ordered to be put to death.
Silkworm authorities estimate that
the larvae from one ounce of eggs will
cat l,2OOpounds Of mulberry leaves and
produce 1870 pounds of cocoons.
"Muscadine" is disease to which
sllkworms are liable. 1t consists of "a
iungous growth i'll the body, which
breaks through the skin and speedily
kills the insect.
The spider produces silk Of a fair
quality, but the difficulty of rearing
spiders and the small quantity Of prod
uct from each insect has caused the
abandonment Of all efforts to produce
sPiuer SILK.
In the time of Francis l silk gowns
Were forbidden to all ladies below the
rank OF countess. The wives of wealthy
merchants managed to evado the law by
having woolen gowns lined with bright
colored silks.
In the year 1895 the value of the
manufactured silk imported to this
country was S3l, ,206, 202. In the same
year the value Of the unmanufactured

Among the stories told to the de-
served credit Of such lawyers as have no
scruples against distorting and conceal
ing the truth in order to shield persons
whom they know or have every reason
to believe to be guilty the following is
entitled to good place:
An attorney had occasion to defend a
man who was justly accused of counter.
feiting paper money, and no manipu-
lated the case with such skill that he
secured tho acquittal Of tho prisoner.
When the lawyer and his client were
alone together again, tho counterfeiter
overwhelmed the lawyer with thanks.
"And now said ho, putting his
hand in his pocket.
And now, the lawyer took up tho
sentence, II will have my fee, and |
will take it in hard currency, not in
bills, if you please. Youths Com
