 recently noticed. One is a princess robe Of black cloth, parting in front to show a soft vest and pettieoat of white satin. The slightly full sleeves are of white satin, with yellow guipure applique. The black cloth is edged everywhere with black astIaehan, and all the corners have pointed embroider.es in yellow guipure and black gimp. The other dress is of red cloth with a pouohed bodice and plain skirt elaborately embroidered, and is turned back little below the neck and cut down in front to show a vest of black glace. There Is also folded belt of black glace.
 Above the feet of well-shod women rustic flutes and flouncings of sillsen pet ticoats, if possible more elaborate than we have ever before seen It seems al- most criminal extravaganza and selfish ness for women to hide such glories of silk and lace and lovely design in deeora- tion under sober cloth, or the very much plainer silk and satin top skirts One re- markedly pretty skirt was made entirely, even to the last stitch, by the wearer Over green silk skirt, plain and rather scant that had served one entire season as dress lining, she put togethlr and 'ee fall second and fuller drapery made all of lengths of three and one-half inch wide taffeta ribbon in bright green and yellow plaid, interspersed with bands of rather coarse, deep yellow lace net. At the region of the knee clusters of closely plaited lace were set between the rib bon bands, and, falling out, gave all the effect of full ruffle. Any woman might for the sake of a little time and taste, do likewise, while suffering no great di- minishment of her income. This arrange ment of lace and ribbon Is, by the way, one of the very newest capeIs in petti- coat making. Really exquisite pett coats, to wear with dancing dresses, are made of any color of taffeta ribbon, with strips of plain, finely tucked or accordion plated white muslin set in $ the con- meeting link between the ribbon lengths. Last year the printed taffeta skirts showed all their stripes running length wise, but with the revival so lately of the Roman scarfs, sashes, etc, the stripes in the under pesticoats run every way but up and down. Again we have got back to pinking the edges of nearly all these petticoat ruff1es. The founces are fulled by laying them in narrow. close-set, up- standing tucks, in place of gathering and setting them, at the waist line, on yokes that are trimmed fiat.

An Alabama WOman's
 Experience at BiItmore

Many Alabamians have spent the past summer in the mountains of North Caro- lima, a number of whom are still detained in that picturesque egion because of the presence of yellow fever at their homes. A Montgomery wenan thus writes of visit to An Souls church, near Biltmore, the beauitiful estate of George Vand.r- bilt:
 'The' congregation came in rapidly the seats around me being fillsd with stran- gers, for at All Souls the minister looks into new and strange faces each Sun day. Suddenly became conscious that I occupied the central seat in MT. Van derbilts pew, his guests, richly-gownisd New York women, on my right and left while the piercing black eyes of MT. Van- derbflt himself looked me through and through as he took the seat at the end.
 For a moment the nervousness with which so many have come to regard the very rich took possession of me. A dread lest this millionaire take loffense at my presence there, an overwhelming sense

Late Pads and
Fancies of Fashion

The fashion chronicles are daily giving detsls of the winter styl;s, and telling of all kinds of fetching gowns. A navy blus dress, in a fancy material composed of silk and wool, has navy-blue velvet bodice. In front there is a square yoke of yellow guipure, and below this the bodice overlaps and fastens at ths left side. The overlap is bordered with a rich bit of Turkish embroidery that has black satin leaves edged with smoked psarl ssquins applique on it. It is fast ened down at the waist with two paste turquoise buttons. There are eqaulettes of this embrol derry, and they and the ov rlap are edged With narrow black astrachan.
 gown of dark-green velvet which is in- tended for a skalting toilet, and which has three lines of chinchila arranged in a series of van1yk+ points all round the skirt, some little distance above the hem. The Russian bodice is made entirely of chinchilla with small basques and epaulett:s of tine same fur and rather full green velvet sleeves. The waist band is of green leather fastened with a clasp of stsel. The toque which will De Wurn Wlth lnlS gown rSYerSeS the usual order of things, inasmuch as it has a fiat crown of chinchilla and a full, soft 'b-im Of green velvet. High on one side there are two or thrse loops of tur- quoise-bhba satin ribbon ris ng out of a cluster of gardenias and gardenia buds Occasionally princess dre sses are being made and trimmed like coats. They are very effective for street wear. One in a very fine navyblue twill has soft front of perlwinkle- blue mirror velvet. On the bodice this is bordered by two huge roll over astrachan revers, while. in contin- uation of these revers, lines of black as- trachan run on either side of the velvet front from the waist to the hem of the skirt. Outside these bands of astrachan there are graduated lines of braid that start from the waist and run down the skirt The back of the bodice is very original. It is of the periwinkle velvet, but frocn either shoulder run lines of military braid, which cross each other and almost cover the back.

Grape Cure the Latest
Fad of Fashion

There is no longer any reason to tramp through the dew-laden grass or to wrap one's self in cold, clammy sheets, in ac- cord with good Father Knieppe's tenets. The water cure has been superseded by far more agreeable fad that of the grape cure. To be fashionable, one must now devour pounds of grapes at sit ting, and to claim for the lucious fruit all the virtues of the medicine chest.
 In Switzerland, where vineyards are in proximity to small towns, these villages are overrun by English and American invalids, who are trying this up-to-date fad, the grape cure.
 The virtue of the cure is said to be in it's aid to digestion and assimila ton of food. The patients temperature and capacity regulate the number of grapes consumed during the day.
 Besides grapes, these fashionable in- valids affect coarse brown bread, and eat sparingly of other food. They lounge langu.dly about the verandahs and halls of the Swiss hotels. in bewitching negli- gee toilet; they sit in steamer chairs. in the golden sunshine. and they enjoy the rest cure to the fullest extent hut above and beyond all else they eat grapes.
 Weary, worn-out society women, who have exhausted their vitality with win ter's social settlements, find their way Ito the picturesque Swiss hotels and spend weeks in fetching mat.nees end ravishing tea gowns, while they consume bushels of grapes and tons of brown bread.
 This most recent fad may or may mot prove a panacea for all fleshly ills, but it certainly has the advantage of being more agreeable to the average woman than the Knieppe water cure. It has also the advantage of allowing tasteful woman to appear tn fascinating gtMns instead of being wrapped up, like an Egyptian mummy in oiammy shests The Grapa cure is the most attractive by all odds of the many devices origi- mated by man for the amusement and entertainment of the woman who enjoys beng just ailing enough to furnish her with never-failing topic of conversa- tion.
 It has the advantage also of bsing per- fectly harmless, which fact must always be considered when one ins sts upon having a "cure" constantly on hand.

The great Wallace shows, which will exhibit in Birmingham Saturday, Nov 27, come indorsed by the entire press throughout the section of the country which they have toured this season. The Age Herald is in receipt of half hun dred newspapers, all containing words of praise for the big enterprise, and the following article taken. at random from the Lewiston (Pa.) Courier we consider we'll worth publishing:
 The one prevailing topic of interest about town today is the Wallace Show. which arrived bright and early from Huntingdon, where an immsnse days business was done yesterday. The work of unloading and transferring the paraphernalia of the big exhibition to sps edily and quietly accomplished with out any of the customary ebulitions of lewd profanity so often in evidence with many circuses. Evidences of the most perfect discipline abound in every de- partment of the Wallace shows and the conduct of all employees is favorably commented on by all who have visited the grounds today. In fact, nothing but good things can be said about this man. moth circus organization. Everything about it is new, clean and sparkling The horses 600 in number, are the finest without exception ever seen in one body, and when ranged in long rows, in their comfortable canvas stables, present a picture of rare equine beauty. The gorgeous street parade this fornoon was revelation, and it is safe to say that no handsomer pageant is possible to pro- duce The performance this afternoon fully substandiates the motto of the management, "truthfully advertised. honorably conducted" and all the big tents are filled with a wildly enthus- fastic multitude, whose applause and laughter can be hsard for blocks. The show is noticeably free from skin games and disreputable practices and deserves warm indorsement from all who admire morality and honesty.

Marco Polos Account OF the Natives AND
the animals.

Marco POlO's Account of the Natives and
the animals.
The eastern coast of Africa was an
unknown region in Marco Polos day,
and when he had travelled so far to
the southern end of Asia that he be-
gan to get glimpses Of Africa, he could
not believe that he heard reports from
the eastern side of that continent-of
which he already knew something, as
it formed the southern border of the
Mediterranean Sea. So he speaks Of
Madagascar (which he calls Madeigas-
car and Zanzibar (which he calls Fang
hibar) as though they were parts of
India. If we remember that Marco
was the first writer, European OF Asia
tic, to mention Madagascar by that
name, and almost the first to give the
world any information concerning that
unknown land, we may excuse the
fact that his geography is sometimes
mixed. But his descriptions of the
people and the animals of eastern AT
RIGA are pretty accurate, as may be
seen:
They are all black, their hair is as
black as pepper, and so frizzly that
even with water you can scarcely
straighten it. And their mouths are
so large, their noses so turned up, their
lips so thick, their eyes so big and
blood-shot, that they look like very
devils; they are in fact SO hideously
ugly that the world has nothing to
show more horrible.
There are also lions that are black
and quite different from ours. And
their sheep are all exactly alike in col
or; the body all white and the head
black; no other kind of sheep is found
there, you may rest assured. They
have also many giraffes. This is a
beautiful creature, and must give you
a description of it. It's body is short
and somewhat sloped to the rear, for
its hind legs are short, while the fore
legs and the neck are both very long,
and thus it's head stands about three
PAGES from the ground. Tho head is
small, and the animal is not at all mis-
chievous. It's color is all red and white
in round spots, and it is really beau
tiful object. The women of this island
are the ugliest in the world, with their
great mouths and big eyes and thick
noses. The people live on rice and
flesh and milk and dates; and they
make wine of dates and of rice and of
good spices and sugar. There is q
great deal of trade, and many meE-
chants and vessels go thither.-C"The
True Story of Marco Polo" by Noah
Brooks, in ST. Nicholas.
