gauntlets over the hands. quaint bolero of the same lace fastened on the left side with twist of velvet and silver clasp set with emeralds. The silver waist belt was set with emeralds also. The great roll collar had an ivory-white brocade lining.
 The other wrap was an opera cape of white brocade figured with pink and gold. It had wide cape sleeves, yelled with cream lace and edged with pale yellow ostrich feather trimming. A wide collar of cream lace covered the shoulders. At the back of the neck was a huge rosette of green velvet, with lace center from which lace cascade streamed. The ends of the vel vet were carried down to the waist and elasped there with diamonds. There were pale yellow roses in the lace boa. The cape was lined throughout with green.
 A bit of economy that a good many clever women are practicing is the re- mobilization of the silk waists that were so pretty throughout the summer for informal evening wear. It is not of much use in these days of radical changes to pack away one seasons wardrobe for use the next year. The better way is to keep things in con- tinuous service so far as possible until one has had the worth of them. In London the chiffon covered blouse is seen everywhere. It is cut high for afternoon tea, and cut low for the theater, and there is every indication that it will be thoroughly desirable for semi-dress occasions for good many months to come. A design that lasts we'll is a round bodice with blouse front fastening on the left side under a ruff1e or lace cascade. A quite shabby silk waist can be yelled with chiffon in some such fashion and will receive thus a new lease of life Such a metamorphosis is made easier by the freedom with which ruffies can be used. A bodice can be buried under ruffles and the ruffies themselves buried under narrow, shirred bias folds of chiffon with the

ELECTION BoNFlREs.
Curious Origin of Our Mode of CeIe
 bratinG Political Victory.
Copyright. 1897. ]

lCopyftgnt, 1S9I.I 1 It is probable that no one would ever have thought of having bonfres on election night in this country. if Guy EsaSslseaa zhaslaa' st,-i~.a lsls~.s-.a4e 4ha British parliament away back in the year 1905.
 Of course Guy Hawkes. had nothing to do with the election in a republic which was born nearly 200 years after his day. But it used to be the custom in England to make straw man repre- senting Hawkes., drag it about the street on the evening of Guy Hawkes. day, which was November 5. and finally throw it on bonfire. Of course wheR the English came to this country they brought with them the custom of cele- brating Guy Hawkes. day in this man. ner. For custom has more lives than cat. But after 100 years or so people began to forget Hawkes.. Not everywhere, though. Tn Bristol, fR. l., which is a very old town and brides itself on it's age it is still the custom to have bonfire on November 5, whether it happens to be election day or not.
 But election IS never earlier than the 2d of November, nor later than the 8th. About one year in every seven Guy Hawkes. day and election come to- gether on the same date-November 5. And when. the next year, election day moved on to November 6, it was very simple matter to move Bonfire day along with it. Election day means good deal in this country, and Guy. Hawkes. day nothing at all.
 And that is how, in almost every part of this country, bon6res are lighted on the night after the election. in celebra- tion of the victory no matter what side wins; and no straw man at all goes into the fire.

d'esprit lace yelled the skirt complete ly. The effect was accentuated by zig gags of narrow black lace set about in deep points. The pretty little bodice was cut with bertha and was GOV cred with frills of ivory lace, each frill having a thread-like black edging. There were long sleeves frilled to the wrists. A dog collar of pearls was the principal ornament.
 Evening gowns need wraps to cover them, and of these luxurious garments l have lately seen two of unusual beau ty. One was a pelisse of silver gray mirror velvet, to cover the entire fig ure. It had a nest of fox fur for the neck to snuggle into, and a band of fox fur ran down the front to the ground. There were hood-liKe sleeves of the velvet coming to the elbows and open on the under side of the arm; these were fur redged. There were also tight undersleeves covered with heavy white lace and spreading out like

At least half dozen of the best dresses were of velvet, which bids fair to be the best liked of winter materials A particularly striking costume, as simple as it was stately, was of mauve velvet, cut with , slightly pouched bodice; folds of the velvet were drawn about the bare shoulders and clasped with large crescents of diamonds and turquoise. Graduated bands of gold embroidery, set with turquoise, started under the left arm, diminishing to the right Other bands ornamented the perfectly cut skirt, beginning on the left hip and crossing the front. The longest strips of embroidery nearly reached the foot of the gown. The mar row belt was of mauve silk, clasped with diamonds. There were no sleeves.
 A young girl not yet out danced in a dress that looked the essence of dain- tiness, with the soft pink, blue and migonette green of it's embroidered gauge over white silk. A lace hounce finished the skirt. The bodice was full and low, with a ruching of lace about the shoulders. There were full, short sleeves with a bow of pink velvet on one shoulder. The belt was of pink velvet also; it was fastened high up under the left arm and drawn across the front to point on the right side A ruching of lace followed it's upper edge.
 Another decidedly pretty and as de- cidedly girlish dress was of rose pink silk of a peculiarly delicate shade. A slim brunette of lovely coloring wore it. It had a plain skirt hanging in clinging folds. The bodice was half low and crossed, the surpliee folds dis appearing under wide corselet belt of pink satin embroidered with pale green and rose silk threaded with crystal beads. The decolletage and the short soft sleeves were edged with rose-col- ored crepe in feathery frills.
 Very much in the present mode was a dress of sky-blue satin worn by a handsome young matron. White point

TT needed American boys after alL
 to teach the people in the old coun- tries what could be made of Halloween.
 In England and Scotland Halloween wasn't young folks night at all, but was sacred to lovers who wanted to read the future, and to indoor games. They roasted nuts at the freside in pairs to see if they would jump away ogether-which meant marriage and travel-or jump apart, which would prophecy no wedding. They foated needles on the surface of tumblers of water to see if they would draw to- gether in pairs or stay apart, and gave the names of pairs of lovers to the needles; they baked cakes with we'd ding rings inside, the one who got the ring in each case forecasting from it an early marriage. They threw apple parings over their heads to see what

ELLEN OSBORN'S
 FASHION LETTER. Evening Costumes as Worn at Tuxedo Dance
 Forecasting the Gay Season.

Copyright, 1S97.l

NEW YORK; pretty dance at
 W Tuxedo few evening ago brought out number of dresses which may be regarded as forecasts of the fashions of the gay season.
 One in which I was especially in terested was worn by a girl of the Eng fish type. slender and very blond. It was made of blue silk as pale as the shade you see once in awhile in an opal. Aeeordion-plaited chiffon of the same color, or hint of color, was draped over the skirt, with narrow ruche at the hem. The bodice was cut low with folds of turquoise blue velvet framing the shoulders. The sides of the bodice were covered with embroidery in tur= quoise, silver and paste, while in front came ripple of lace, powdered with gold and flowing down over the skirt on the leftside. There were long, tight fitting lace sleeves, with puffs of chiffon at the shoulders. Delicate pink roses were worn as ornaments.

called Thomas at any time or under any circumstance. Boftin, which is a family name, was suggested to him, and accepted, on condition that his wishes be respected regarding Tom.
 Tom Johnson must be worth a whole lot of money. even from the viewpoint of the modern millionaire. Once asked him how he began to build up his for tune.
 "Peddling newspapers when I was Ii years old at Staunton, Ya.," he replied, strengthening himself up with pride. q had my share of schooling for boy of my age down to that time, but after that, experience was my chief teacher.

i initials they would form as they fell oa the floor They pulled stalks of kali, to see by the dirt clinging to the root whether a marriage would be blessed with wealth or no. All these were grown-up young folks games.
 But you won't find so much as the mention of a pumpkin in all the Eng Ilish or Scottish stories of Halloween. What would Halloween be nowadays in the country at any rate-without pumpkin jacl<-o'-lanterns? Gate steal ing and tying ropes across sidewalks, and rude out-of-door tricks of that sort were never known, either, in the old days. Perhaps they might as we'll be omitted now.
 But the jack-o'-lantern is one of the most beautiful works of art possible to imagine It is made by scooping out a fine large pumpkin after cutting off one end for a lid. A face is then carved

M EW YORK.-It's a queer thing, but
 IN in spite of oft repeated personal statements by the street railroad mil- lionaire who has been backing Henry George for mayor through the present campaign, the papers call him Thomas L. Johnson more than half the time, or else inclose the three letters spell ing his first name in quotation marks. Now, his first name is Tom-T-o-m-- and he is proud of it. In fact, Tom Leftin Johnson selected his own Chris tian names, as he once told me himself. For some reason or other his family had not agreed on what to call him.
 and he was known by diversity of titles, the time-honored "Bub" being one of them, till he was nearly 13
 Then he was told that if he wanted to have name that he could call his very own he must select it himself. He chose Tom without the slightest hesita- tion, declaring, however, that he want ed it understood that he was not to be

 "How did you come to go into po1i- tics?'
 Why" said the stout, curly-headed victim of the inquisitor, his hair talk ing on an extra curl and his ample sides shaking as he chuekled over the ques- ton, it was clear to me a few years ago that unless did something besides make money I should be s4-A to fall into most disgraceful rut and be able to do nothing but make money all my life. Now that didn't suit me a bit, and I went into politics.
 DanN of the Sun.
 The death of Charles A. Dana has brought out any number of anecdotes about the veteran journalist. He was by no means universally popular man, but after he assumed charge of "The Penny Sun" (as it used to be ealled), soon after the civil war, he was able to maintain rare and uniform spirit

shirring string run through the mid- dle.
 The low bodice is generally cut round at the neck. There is no return to the perfect round of a winter or two ago. but the prevailing shape is, if you will permit such description. a square rounded at the corners.
 The dainty mulls. tulles and gauges over colored slips, so much in evidence all summer, are we'll worth a little freshening. There will be nothing pret- tier this winter for small dances fou young girls.
 One of the most effective new blouses have seen is of delicate shade of blue glaee. 1t is laid in fine tueks at the yoke and has Medici collar of mauve velvet overlaid with cream col ored guipure and softened inside with white chiffon. A chiffon fichu is tied lightly in front. the ends reaching be- low the waist. There is short bolero of mauve velvet and guipure. The sleeves are of shirred glace, with shoul- der frills of chiffon run with the nar- rowest of mauve velvet ribbon.
 For daylight wear all fur costumes are growing constantly in favor. An extremely smart one is of Persian lamb, with band of ermine edging the plain gored skirt. The short coat is cut in points at the bottom and opens on q pointed ermine vest. The sleeves haze wide ermine cuffs and there is a tabled ermine collar small round hat of the same fur and huff can be added.

Trials of n Car Conductor.

''When I was keeping bar at Will lard's," says a car conductor in Wash ington, q never was without head ache. The confinement and long hours were hard on me, but the constant use of liquor cooked my liver and ruined my digestion. I've been on street car for six months and have no ache nor pain. It makes me tired to endure the insolence of some people, though, for my temper is as hot as it ever was. But the man who can be most patient makes the best conductor. I used to meet eranks in the barroom, but they are multiplied hundredfold on street cars. Nine women out of ten are. cranks when on street cars. Look in- side there. See that slender girl with the baby face? Her skirts cover seat room for three, and there is a laboring man standing up in front of her. I've no doubt she is called lady. Some men are quarreIsome and ugly. In the saloon I used to knock 'em down and drag 'em out if they got too funny. Here On the car I've got to talk mildly to them, and beg them to keep in order"

 Once when John L. Sullivan was at his best and Mr. Dana was attending all the sparring matches that came along. to the Sun office and wrote an editorial he asked Mr. Lord, the managing ed itor, to send in one of these bright young men. The young man went in Mir. Dana looked up pleasantly; then an expression of surprise crossed his face, and he merely saidto the reporter: That will do" The editor called for another bright young man and sent him in. When he entered the expert ence of the first was duplicated, and so with the next.
 Then Mr. Dana went out to the desk of Mir. Lord.
 T notice, Mir. Lord," said the chief ''that all the young men you have sent in have black eyes or cut noses or bruised cheeks. What is the matter?'
 Why, Mr. Dana," said the manag- ing editor, lever since the Sun has been so interested in the manly art o1 sef-defense it's bright young men have been sparring with each other when ever they could get chance"

game though Christmas, has borrowed it. along with many other good things. Raisins. dates, figs. and other goodies are thrown into a bowl and a little brandy is poured over them and set on fire. It requires nimble fingers to pick anything out of the bowl without get- ting scorched.
 Throwing melted lead into tub If water to see what queer shapes it will take in cooling is a good Halloween. game for small company. This is also sometimes used as 2 charm by young folks, who argue from the shape the lead takes the occupation of future spouse. Thus q palette would indicate painter or a blow farmer; and as in the case of the apple pairing. it is very easy for the one invoking theE charm to believe that fate has returned to the question the answer that was wished.
 The charm of the mirror is one of the most famous of Halloween customs. When properly performed it is neces- sary for the girl who wishes to learn the name of her future spouse to eat an apple while looking at the mirror. or, as some say, to comb her hair. In either case after the operation is com pleted the face of the future husband is seen in the glass peering over the shoulder of the experimenter. With reasonable degree of caution the face seen can easily be the right one

lon one side-a horrible face with wide orinning mouth and row of big, DOT tentous teeth These amiable features are cut nearly through, but so as to leave thin film of the pumpkin shsll unbroken. Put a short, lighted candle inside, clap on the lid-and the result at night is a fine open countenance blazing feroeiously from eyes and mouth and nose.
 There are a good many of the old country Halloween games that are we'll adapted for indoor use by lads and lasses who don't bother their heads about marriage as yet. Duclling for apples is one of the funniest. A big tub of water is set on the floor and apples are foated in it. The trick is to pick up one of the apples with the teeth, which is almost impossible if the apple is a big one.
