of this braiding down the entire front
and as many more in the back, and
these covered the seams that were
slanted III to ct the garment very slight

the sleeves and yoke of this vatican
coat. The entire garment was lined
with changcable silk, red and blue, both
united forming cleaning purple tints.
Purple will vie with all the other colors
this season and is found in all its shades,
from pale hcliotrope and lilac to deep
petunia and plum. 1t is rich color, and
the tints of this fall are warm and
bright without being gaudy.
The short capes, while full enough to
fall in graceful folds, are not so full as
to stand out stiffly or fly about in a
brisk wind, to the danger of the wearer,
if she happens to be crossing the street
near Madison square on Broadway. The
shape of the majority is what is known
as the military. One had deep, rolling

The new fall wraps are being shown
now as mark Of special favor, and |
suppose that every person who is al
lowed to look at them is told the same
stoly---that che alone is permitted TO be-
hold their ElOries so much ahead Of their
tire But it is u maxim of mine to take
the goods the gods provide and not to
quarrel with the givers. SO, then, will
discourse about these new fall wraps.
First, there are many more of the short
Jackets than l like to see, as they add
neither grace nor dignity to costume.
They are now called vatican coats
why deponent sayeth not They are Or
namented i'll different way, and that
makes them little more dressy Be-
sides, many of them are slightly shaped
tC fit the figure. This is carefully hid
den under folds and plaits, as the foGn-
dation of these jackets rests on the I'M
compromising squarencss OF outline.
Bat our women, while they wear them,
want to look as well as they can, and
therefore the sinful little holdings to
iiG the human form divine.
One had the front laid in the hollow
box plaits. These were strapped at Tie
top with buttons to hold, made Of smoke

OF general dove color. The back was
arranged in the same way, and there was
an almost imperceptible shaping of the

Dry Goods and Stormy Days In Large
Cities.

Dry Goods and Stormy Days In Large
Cities.
Stormy days are great loss to us, :"
said woman behind the counter of n
small dry goods store.
"ifor the time" / said, "but You
make the loss up on pleasant days,
SUPPOSE"
"No, indeed, we do not, " she an.
swered, cit is an actual loss, as we
know by our books. OF course when the
weather is good the sales are good also,
but never enough to make up for the
loss. A spell Of bad weather, such as
we have been having, makes great
difference in the years account.
But surely if a woman wants gown
or anything else, she will buy it one
day if she does not another| | said.
you'd think So but we do not find
it like that, " said the young shopkeeper.
II could not believe it myself at first,
but I've had proof enough that it is true
that storm and loss go together i'll the
dry goods trade. y
After this l made inquiries in many
quarters and discovered that the belief
was general everywhere that rainy
weather losses were never made up. 1t
was so, it seemed, even with the UNI
brella people.
"We sell few more cheap umbrellas
when the storm first bursts, said one
clerk. "They are bought by people caught
i'll the rain, but after the weather settles
to downright bad they bring their um-
brellas out with them and no one buys
a parasol. "
"Storms make dead loss. " fancy
this would be the report of the largest dry
goods emporiums in city, for where the
crowds of customers are so great that it
is almost impossible to fight your way
to the counters you find in times of
tempest only few people, who seldom
make long stay at the counters and
are evidently making necessary pur
chases.
In that word necessary" l suppose
lies the keynote to the bad weather
losses il the dry goods trade. L is the
unnecessary on which money is spent
We need so little when it comes to ac-
tual necessity. The length Of time duI-
ing which Il garment may be respectfully
worn by one who must only buy rhc
needful is almost miraculous, and even
to those who may buy what they please
the temptation is small when skies are
dark and rain beats against the window
Once let the sky be blue again, and
the woman will be attired in all hor
finery, and all the shops hold will
tempt her, whether she has any real use
for it or not. The profits of the dry
goods trade arise from fancies Of the
moment, bright dreams realized before
common sense shows their folly. The
woman who solemnly goes forth regard
less of the weather to buy garment
that she needs is not the one who fills
the merchants Golfers. 1t is the butter
fly who flutters in the sunshine who
keeps him from bankruptcy.

many different patterns. This one was
of tan colored cloth, and it was divided
off into sections by straps of white
cloth, tailor stitched and ornamentcd
with four white pearl buttons at the
bottom of each strap. These straps were
pointed and rather wider at the bottom
than the top, and the points extended
below the edge Of the cape. Between
these straps there were pyramidal pat
terms OF black soutache braiding The
collar stood upward in the back and fell
out on the shoulders in broad revers, also
braided This was lined with sky blue
satin. One cape was of drab "billiard
cloth, " tailor stitched all around. There
were four rows of four gray bone but
tons in each down the front. There was
trimming all around the shoulders
made of loops of the stuff lined with the
palest blue silk. These were stitched on
the outside.> The revers collar was Of

pale blue velvet, so pale a tint that il
looked blue only in a sharp light. This
cape was considered exceptionally styl-
ish.
In the window of one of our most
fashionable stores I found group Of
figures showing the latest styles i'll
mourning costumes. In some respects
they show that the world moves if the
sun does not, for they are ornamented
and trimmed until they almost look
like festal robes. One had the skirt of
the beautiful and glossy yet frosty Gu
dora, made without wrinkle or plat
save for about two inches in the back,
where it was shirrcd a little. There
were three flounces of Grape around the
bottom, each four inches wide. These
We're cut ON the straight Of the cloth
and hemmed over black netting. The
whole waist was covered with Grape.
There was another dress for mourn
ing, also Of the superb eudora, which is
now accepted as the most perfect mourn
ing fabric ever made. The skirt is
smooth and apparently seamless.
Around the bottom there is a reversed
| plating of Grape three inches wide.
This is slightly scalloped with fancy
bows on each point, made of Grape. The
basque was as jaunty as possible for any
one to be. 1t was all Grape, but embroid-
cred, especially on the deep revers, with
dull jet and chenille. 1t had plated
Grape jabot vest front, with immense
fan bows at the throat There was u

comfort to be able to mourn in such
magnificent style.

THE NEW WOMAN.
As Editor and Newspaper Proprietor She

IS a Signal Success.
A friend writes me of delightful
call he lately made on Rev. Olympia
Brown Willis il her newspaper office
at Raciue, Wis. The woman who will
apply herself steadily to work and
earn money and n good sum Of it
proves the business capacity of her
sex more than she could do by 20
years arguing for it. Mrs. Brown is
proving that woman can run news
paper in first class style, large news
paper too. She is the editor, owner and
business manager of Racine paper.
I need only quote from my friends let
ter to show you how that newspaper is
run: Mrs. Brown has one Of the best
equipped newspaper plants 1t has been
my fortune to visit in the state of Wis
consin. Everything moves with clock
work regularity and precision. There
are no lace curtains on the windows.
but they are as clean as you would find
in a private residence, something odd
for printing office. She owns the whole
building, a three story one. All the
machinery is up to date, from a 10
horse electric motor to perfecting
press. She must have at least 80 men
and women working for her. 1t would

The farm was heavily mortgaged at the
time of her husbands death, but even
i'll the midst of these hard times Mrs.
Nelson has managed to keep it, add
many acres to it, erect handsome and
substantial farm buildings and buy
piano for her daughter, now young
lady She has supported besides her own
family blind sister and her aged ia
ther. Mrs. Nelson has made herself an
expert in the dairy business and that is
how she has accomplished so much. Her
butter has taken first premiums at vari-

ways gets top prices for her butter.
which she sells in stamped half pound
prints.
In reference to women as wholesale
buyers, the Chicago Dry Goods Reporter
says, women are peculiarly fitted to
select certain goods for the trade"
Much of what we mistake for love is
mere selfishness and vanity. An exam
pie of this miscalled affection is seen in
the woman who thinks her own chill
dren can do no wrong and actually be-
lieves them to be better, handsomer and
more brilliant intellectually than her
neighbours children.
If you have not learned to swim, you
have missed large part Of the fun Of
the world. Besides that you would be
apt to drown if you were to fall into
the water. If you do not already know
how to swim, make up your mind that
another summer shall not pass over your
head without your acquiring that adj
mirable and delightful accomplishment.

finally they were able to buy the old

admirable management. They made a
vast addition to the Fillmore house,
and it is one of the finest hotels in Buff

George Rogers Clark with reputation,
and who in all respects, was man of
character. Derogue some time before
had left Nashville and had gone to
New Orleans; returning he called on
the Cherokees and tarried with them
some time. Richard Fendleston, a hall
breed, had also become acquainted
with the settlers at Nashville. Their
agreement with the Cherokees was,
that after obtaining the necessary
knowledge of the circumstances in
which the country was, they should
return and communicate with them.
They came to Nashville accordingly,
but instead of mentioning to Captain
Demumbrane what they had promised
the Cherokees to lay before him, they
communicated to him the designs of
the Cherokees, and their intended ir.
ruption into the country with one
thousand men, and they might be ex.

September. The intelligence was in

LITERARY NOTES.
Washington as a Politician

General Greely's article in March
Ladies Home Journal upon "The Per.
sonal Side of Washington" will show
that Washington was largely infiu.
enced by his environments, but also
that he steadily tended toward the
higher standards of the present age,
especially as regards his habits and
ideals. OF the first election in which
he actively participated General Greedy
writes In his younger days Wash
ington extended at his first election the
usual post election hospitality, which,
in those days, consisted in the mini
mum amount of food with the maxi.
mum amount Of spirits. We find him
paying an account for such an enter
tainment for some four hundred voters,
where the account was three shillings
for food and thirty seven for liquors.
The capacity of the average drinker
may, perhaps, be placed at three quarts
at sitting, as derived from this &C.
count, which covered one hegshead Of
punch, one barrel of punch, forty gal
Ions of punch, nine bowls of punch,
forty five gallons of wine and forty
seven gallons of beer. Washington,
who was not present, expressed his sur
prise at their moderation, and wrote
his agent that he feared he had not
been liberal enough, and expressed the
hope that he had not neglected those
who voted in the opposition.
His reflective mind and acute OBJ.
servation soon noted the ravages made
by drink, and doubtless confirmed that
personal moderation which never per.
mitted him to run into excess of any
kind. In the Provincial army, when
general charges of drunkenness were
made against the Virginia troops there
was no word against Washington per-
sonally. He had, moreo yer, thus early
deplored it as serious vice, forbade
1t by stringent orders, and applied
hundred lashes to every man found
drunk. Still later he wrote that Gin
shops served to ruin the proprietor and
those who make the most frequent ap-
plication TO them, and in advising his
nephew he adds, Refrain from drink,
which is source of all evil and the
ruin OF half the workmen of this coun.
try.'n

The PrOner Time

when the most benefit is to be derived
from medicine, is early in the year.
This is the season when the tired body,
weakened organs and nervous system
yearn for a buildingup medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many wait for
the open spring weather and, in fact,
delay giving attention to their ph ysic al
condition so long that a long siege of
sickness is inevitable. To rid the sys-
tenn of the impurities accumulated du-
ring the winter season, to purify the
blood and to invigorate the whole sys
tenn, there is nothing equal to Hood g
Sarsaparilla. Don't put it off, but

rills, all from reliable, grateful people.
