AUTUMN STYLES.

The "victoran flare" is illustrated in low,
square. hat of beige velvet. The brIm
droops at ..ile back and flares in front Coward
..4e left old 'i.S.t of the front, showing black
vel,et facing which extends beyond the edges
like binding. A steel buckle apparently
holds black velvet bow in place against the
brim. The crown is encirced by b very long
and full white plume. At the back is a small
J,ouf of velvet caught with q steel pin.
Too high tribute cannot be paid material
aptly termed glove-skin. 1t belongs to the
Venetian cloth family, but has a silkicr
finish and smoothness and softness which
fully entitle it to its name. That it will be.
come a powerful rival OF faced cloth may be
safely predicted.
Motifs are again in vogue for adorning drcssy
house and evening gowns. One-a large
diamond. shaped ornament-has center of
gold net framed in white satin and studded
with pearls and topazes. Another of the
same sort has white mousseline center set
in satin and sprinklcd with gold beaGs and
corals.
A scroll.shaped motif in white mousseline
sparkcS with Rhnestones that look like dew
drops and is also seeded with pearls and
minute silver spangles. To the same class be-
longs motif of mouSseline set with sapphros,
gold beads and pearl spangles in which arc
reflected the tints in the jewels.
A shcaf Of wheat is the design seen upon
large, handsome motif Of white and gold
spangcs jewelled with pearls and turquoiscs.
A novel band trimming consists of white
moasseliae tucking with white lace appliqutcs
and turquoise and silver-lincd beads. Amc-
thysts and beads to match decorate another
band of the same character. A third is
studded with turquoises and gold fancy
spanges in odd shapes, while q fourth
mingles coral and tiny gold cup spangles.
For low-cut evening gown of silk, crepe
or tissue are strands Of pearl beads Of uniform
or graduated sizes caught together at inter
walls with jcwolled slides, which may be
amethysts, turquoises or sapphrincs. A
clnsef Of opals forms the heart Of each
no%cr in an elegant white chiffon trimming
. embroidered with jet and green-and-goh silk,
The silk being employed for the flowers.
Beltcd blouse -bodces with low, square
nccks arc developed for evening wear One
such BODICE las three quarter-length NOUS
q,letairs sleeves with frils. A trio of frills
forms the sleeves of another squarc-neckcd
evening blouse of which an invisible closing
at the left shoulder and under the arm is also
an admirable point.-From The Delineator.

A new idea in mohair brads is plat made
of crinkled strands. This is associated with
narrow tubular braids and converted into
various devices both in cdgings and inser-
lions, the latter showing for tho most part
'--sSular and highly ornamental edges. Some
mas Is -. mohair plaitings arc wide and at
the edges are c,.lad single loops, trefoils or
nteglinked rings of narrow s.H,tachc braids.
A hand-knotted soutache braid trimming is
very effective in bold design, the trimming
appearing heavy, though in reality very light.
Many of the new braid trimmings simulate
weight which they do not possess a quality
which renders them all the more acceptable

braid with souache coiled at the edges in
i,,.gs and kindred devices. Intricate patterns
are devised in soutacho and tho basket-woven
tubular braids and applied upon the costlicst
Of tailor sutlngs.
Soutache braid is employed alone III mani
fold patterns which arc frequently chosen for
cheviots, homespuns and other types of rough.
surfaced goods, though they arc none the less
appropriate for smooth fabrics
Flat mohair braids support fanc'ul edges
of soutache or tubular braid at one side or
both and modistes apply them profusely IN
longitudinal or horizontal rows. Then there
are Hercules braids woven to represent rows
of soutache, and open patterned worstcd
braids with pearl edges.
Graceful running patterns in soutachc arc
simple and greatly admired by women of con.
sentative tastes. They may be given greater
prominence by introducing beneath the trim
ming a color in contrast with that of the ma
terial.-From The Delineator. -, i

American Shipbuilding.


Hon, Thomas Il. Bayard, at the banau OF
given by tho City Council to the officers
Of the U. s. S. Wilmington, last Saturday
evening, expressed his regret that the
good ship Wilmington, had not been
Quilt In our city, ~ he believed the skill
OF Wilmington merehanics was equal to
II not beyond any class of mechanics in
the world. He als, urged closer union
betweeH laborer and employer, as by this
union only good work, good wages and
better homes could come"
From such sentiments We may infer that
Mr.. Bayard is the friend of the laborers of
our country. On this point there may DO
just a shade of difference, for if We under.
stand his position properly, he is in favor
OF repeating our navigation laws and per.
hitting ships built in other countre, to
secure American registry and engage in
our coasting trade. The free trade In
ships has been favorite argument with
Every Evening and many Democratic
Congressinen, notwithstanding the fact
that no nation has ever been able to main
tain ship builders by purchasing its ships
from the. ship builders of other nations.
I When some discrimination shall b, made
In favor Of goods imported In American
siips, we can talk of the possibility of
our city becoming famous as u shipbuild.
ling centre, and our workmen becoming
famous for their handiwork In tho differ
ent ports OF the world. 1t may BIO posi-.
BILE, however, TINT Mr., Bayard has oschew.
cd many Of the heretieal doctrines of his
early years, as he reminded Commando
| Todd and his officers the other day that
they were 'in community where men
never falterel when their country needed
THEM" 1t is not too late for him to re-
pent past heresieJ and hereafter we may
expect that he will not willingly contrib-

MORNING STAR.

Mrs. U. H. Hunt is at this time aud
has been for the last six weeks nursing
her sick daughter Mrs. w. B. Barkley,
who has been very sick with grip,
pleurisy and pneumonia fever. Mrs.
Hunt has been almost constantly at
the bedside day and night. Mrs. Hunt
has completed her thirty fifth week as
a nurse of the sick. When Mrs. Hunt
took charge as a nurse she seemed to
forget home and home affairs until re.
lief came. During these thirty five
weeks she has nursed twelve patients
five of whom were not related to her in
any way: all this has been done free Of
charge. Some years since Mrs. Hunt
had at Il time four cases of typhoid
fever in her w house. After all had
recovered the attending physician re.
marked that the recovery of three of
his patients was attributable to the
good nursing and not to his skill.
From the above we conclude that Mrs.
Hunt is possessed of one at least of the
qualifications of true and undeiiled re-
ligion before God and the Father. All
this nursing has been done since she
passed her fiftieth year. Mrs. Hunt is
nearly 62 years old; has been a mem
