The first autumn hats and bonnets in oolors are darker tones of the oddly braided, gay hred styles that have been so popular all summer The iris, violet and periwinkle shades are repeated, the various dyes in green and brown straw aud these and ether showy eolars will rival the black models that are to usurp no small portion of the domain of au- tumn fashions in millinery, and wholly black trimmings will rule very largely te the exclusion of the mass of color that has so predominated for seasons past There will be great use of large. broad. fluffy ostrich plumes. with little or no use on hats of real elegance os the little stark. stiff, stuffed, tricolored eff gies with dyed beaks and legs, bead eyes, and wired wings that have So long been looked upon as m essential decora- tion of all fashionable hats New York Post

Never Strike and seldom Complain.

CT go to bed until 10 or ii o'clock at night They work without eeasing dur. ing the whole of that time and receive no other emolument than food and clothing They understand something of every branch of economy and labor, from finance to cooking Though harass. ed by 100 responsibilities, though driv. en and worried though reproaehed and looked down upon. they never revolt, and they cannot organize for theis own protection. Not even sickness relieves them from their post No sacrifice ia deemed too great for them to make, and no ineompetency in any branch of theii work is excused No essays or poems arc written in tribute to their steadfast. ness They die in the harness and ard supplanted as quickly us may be- These are the housekeeping wives of the Ia. boring men.

The very young girls will hasten to adopt this costume, because they always wish to attain the dignity of womanhood.

nsF,ca,s Literary Neesssii,y.

America needs to start c new intellee- tnal oycle, and 1t is superfinous to say that the way to start is pot to rest in tho boasted excellence Of some light form of literature, for example, the American short story twill take larger effort than this, and effort along lines Ill beset, to bring out the American rival of Homer and Dante and Virgil and Goethe and Shakespeare. There is a deal of meaning i'll the remark attrib- uted to Horace Greeley that what the United States needed was a sound thrashing but that unfortunately no other nation on earth was big enough to give 1t to them The old world is well worn. 1t is gradually approaching, from sheer weariness, q social if not .a politt- cal federalism, in which Amerioa must be teacher, not pupil
 But tho only lesson which America is now teaching tho world in tho ideal realm Is precisely the lesson which Von Hartmann has already put h words namely, that the literature of the future is to be as the farce which the Berlin business man goes to see of an evening by way of recreation. # Is doing it's best to prove that after Goethe the role of tranecendent genius is no longer to be played By way of bringing about a new movement in letters itwould be an excellent thing If some profoundly one sided thinker should arise to shake to pieces the eminently respectable but fa, tally monotonous philosophy Of the American schools -J 8.

Mary Kyle Dallas.


 The recent sudden death of Mary Kyle Dallas of New York wae & shock and q sorrow to a host of frieuda and admirers. For many years she was \ contributor to tho Now York Ledger at large salary, and also wrote short stories for Lippineost Latterly her work has been seen in the daily papers, and her essays on women for the American Press Association commanded wide at- tention Mrs. Dallas was member of Sorosis, the first vice president of tho Woman's Press club and prominent member of tho Hidden Hand club, whose purpose is to expose the fake ad- vertisements which prove a snare and q delusion to unsuspecting women. Mrs. Dallas was tall, with beautiful, aris- tocratic face and stately bearing. while her manner was so graeioas and her acts so kindly that she endcared herself to all who knew her She was 50 years of age and began to write at the age of 8, when she composed play that waa produced in her fathers kitchen. In 1888 she estimated that she had written and sold at least 8, 900 stories and as many sketches. Boston Woman's s Jour. nal
