It is indeed 1.-The last clothes Of sum-
mer' that constitute the fashions on
parade just at present, and while they
are not in perfect harmony with the
chill in the air and the autumn foliage
tints, they have their special advan-
tages between seasons before the new
fashions are fully developed. But the
shops are already decked out in win
teR garb with furs, ricn velvets, and
all the bright, warm colors; so the shirt
waist simplicity has to go. 1t is to be
continued, however, with a difference
in material, for shirt waists of fine
French flannel and chameleon silks,
with the wide linen collar and cuffs,
are to be worn all winter Blouse
waists, too, will hold their own in
fashion, distinguished from those of
the summer by the little bolero jacket,
which is such a predominating feature
of all the new gowns
These little jacket effects are point
ed, square, or round, as they are most
becoming to the figure, and they are
made Of velvet, silk, or cloth, covered
all over with lace, embroidery, or
braiding, and trimmed on the edge
with tiny ruching of chiffon, silk, or
ribbon. So much can be done with
this little bolero in the way of reno
waiting old gowns that it will surely
gain favor very rapidly but, like all
fashions which can so shortly become
common, 1t may be short-lived. 1t is
not necessary that this jacket should
extend across the back, and light silk
waists which have done duty all sum-
mer are made very smart with a lit
tie bOlerO front of lace covered with
satin or velvet, and velvet belt and
collar. A pretty waist to wear with a

belt in the back, and opening over a

Some of the Demands of Working
Women.
An unexpected result of the popularity Of
short skirts among women who ride bicycles
is decided movement for similar garments
by women employed in stores and Offices.
The movement had its origin in Philadel-
phia, where it has attained such proportions
to call forth considerable newspaper dis
cussion. girl employed in a leading dry
goods store said to a reporter:
The weight of our under and overskirts
is enough to break down the health of the
most robust. Standing behind the counters
from in the morning to in the evening
is injurious in itself. Add to that the weight
of clothing we have to swing around within
that narrow compass and you will see the
reason why store girls look so tired when
night comes. Abbreviated skirts and Leg
gings would enable a girl to move around
with joyous freedom. / ride a bicycle. and
/ know just how it feels. Ifit is proper and
conventional to wear this attire in the street.
why not in the store?"
Another side of the question was gone into
by girl In a similar establishment y She
said: The present pavement scraper skirt
that its interest is diminished. Expectora-
tiops and all sorts Of filth are gathered up
by the trains of the daintiest and most ex-
quisitely dressed women. Does 1t seem
right? Why, 1t is revolving, but woman
always has been docile creature. and that
is why she submits. The law should compel
women to wear short skirts. There is moth
ing indecent about them. Short skirts and
leggings conform az near to modesty as 1t is
possible to get and dress like sensible crea-
lures"
Other young women take opposite view,
some declaring that the short skirt Is an
.offense to the artistic eye, others holding
that femininity itself is attacked by the
proposal for short skirts. Clerks, stenog-
rapers and others employed in offices are
divided in opinion regarding the movement,
but the opposition seems to be largely from
the standpoint of fashionable taste. and the
advocates are by no means discouraged.

of the more refined American taste
Black is to be very much worn this
season. and black cloth with a fine
stripe of white or gray is said to be
the latest thing for tailor-made gowns.
The silk Innings are bright red. and
small gold buttons decorate the coat
bodice. Zybeline is one of the favored
materials. which is a sort of canePs
hair cloth with lines forming a plaid:
and ribbed cloths, such as poplins and
reps and silk and wool brooches, are
also very popular. One pretty gown
of the last material in blue and black
has a blouse waist of soft black ribbed
silk finely tucked up and down and
trimmed in front with a little cream
lace and some fancy buttons. The
sleeves match the skirt. and the mar
row belt is of silk, fastened with a
fancy buckle.

shapes in boleros are shown. The first

MRS. wHITNEY's ROMANCE.
Happy, Highly Cultured Life, Yet
Hinged With Sadnexs


Mrs. William G. Whitney, the bride
of last week, even since her debut in,
New York society, has been con-
spicuous for her beauty and fascina-
ton. Today, with her fresh complexion
and wavy brown hair, she looks scarce
ly day older than when she married
her first husband. That first marriage
was most romantic. Miss May met
Capt. Randolph while crossing to
Europe, and they fell in love at first
sight. At that time Capt Randolph
was securing divorce from his wife.
and as soon as the divorce was obs
tanned he proposed to Miss May, was
accepted and the marriage took place
shortly afterward An ideally happy
marriage it proved, and when he died
she was for a long time utterly in-'
conso1able.
Since her widowhood she has been
reported engaged several times. Coll
Payne, the first Mran Whitney's
brother, was most devoted, and there
were many prophecies that she would
marry him. Twice she went to Europe
with the Whitneys and Col. Payne,
and each time the .gossips said the
marriage would take place.
The May family have not been at all
we'll off, but within the last two or
three years some property they owned
vantageously, and Mrs. Whitney, then
Mrs. Randolph, gave up the small
apartment she had occupied since her,
husbands death, and took a house on
East Fortieth street. She also leased
a house at Bar Harbor.
Among women she has always been
popular, and her particular friends are
many. Mrs. Willie Douglas, Mrs.
Richard Irwin, Mrs. Whitney, and Mrs.
Willie Jay form a rare coterie who
have been inseparable friends for years.
In charitable work Mrs. Whitney has
done a great deal. The Girls Friendly
society, at st. Georges church, has ben
Gifted greatly by her unf1agging devo-
ton to it, and for more than two years
no engagement of any description was
allowed to interfere with her going
to the meetings of the society
She is most enthusiastic bicyclists
a good horsewoman, and, blessed with
perfect health, she is always in good
spirits.
Mrs. Beaver Webb and Mrs Wright
are Mrs. Whitney's married sisters.
Her only unmarried sister, Julia May,
| has gone into a convent. DIR. William
May and Fred May and Mrs. Wright
Carrie May are living in Washing
ton, where they entertain extensively.

HATS, BoNNETs AND ToaUEs.
Extreme Styles, Shapes, and Exag-
gerated Fancies of the New MIL
IiuerV.

Extreme Styles, Shapes, and Exag-
Ifnery.
The new millinery displays the usual colec
ton of extreme styles, shapes and exaggerated
fancies but we can hope for something less
picturesque and more generally becoming
later on, when good taste has modified them
in our use. There are some striking revivals
of o1d-time hats, which look as if they might
{ have come out of some of Gainsborough' S
pictures, and photographs Of the last century
portraits by English painters have really fur
nished the milliners with many OF their
models.
The high, rather pointed crowns and wide
brims rolled a little ON one side, trimmed
with many plumes and snowy buckles, are
some of the latest shapes, which are becom-
ing to very few women. These large hats vary
in to height of the crown and the width
of the brim, which rolls more or less at the
side as you wish, but the Madonna face which
makes them a success Is the exception; SO
the low-crowned medium brimmed hats are
quite as fashionable and not nearly 50 try
ing in shape. The felt hats in green, blue.
black and brown are very nice and all the
necessary height is given in the trimming Of
feathers wings and ruches Of ribbon or vel
vet. Velvet hats of all colors and shapes are
tr he very much worn, and the small bonnet
shapes are prestily trimmed with fur tails,
cream lace and jewelled ornaments.
One very pretty tcque is OF black and green

with cream lace and steel buttons. Another
touue is OF green velvet, trimmed with lace

mediate use is of hyacinth blue cloth

entirely covered with the braid and

Glace printed velvets are used as an
experiment in blouse waists in Paris

whether they will find favor here or
not. The French dressmakers have a.

sition, so that line drawn from shoulder
to hip will be straight up and down. jnclin-
ing obliquely neither backward nor for
ward. If, now, the chest Is raised, keeping
the chin close to the neck. and the abdomen
is retracted. we shall find that the round
shoulders have disappeared, proving beyond
doubt that they were not the offending
members but are willing to take their
proper place as soon permitted to do so.
In order to maintain this correct attitude
the body must be balanced on the balls of
the feet not resting it's weight on the heels.
1t is often difficult from written directions to
be sure that the attitude assumed is a cor
rect one.
GA simple method of deciding that ques-
ton is to stand with toes touching door.
In all probability you will find that the
abdomen also touches and that there is quite
a space between the chest and the door. Re-
verse this, bringing the chest up to touch
the door and drawing the abdomen back to
leave space, and you will have about the
correct position Perhaps you will feel as III
about to fall forward, but that feeling will
soon pass away and you will realize an added
physical power In this erect position. You
can walk better stand better, work more
easily, breathe freer, sing better and, in
truth. be stronger, more beautiful and dig

have so little fullness trimming is in
order, and will no doubt become gem
