An effort has been made at Princeton

but the colors OF that house are really
orange and blue. 1t is not likely that
the colors will be or can be changed,
though adopted through error.

the start of the season seems to
have taken hold, and 1t Is for us
to profit thereby. In the display new
ideas are so many that only a few of
the most characteristic ones can be
treated here Among cloths the smooth
finished sorts seem most popular,
though there Is the usual assortment OF
tweeds and rough Scotch mixtures.
Cancels hair, to revive which there

This goods Is so attractive that two
newly stylish uses of 1t are put in the
first and second of the accompanying
pictures. In the first, Il very pretty
house dress, taffeta was combined
with 1t, and herein is another new
wrinkle: for though the recent tenden-
cy in silks was toward surahs and soft,
lustrous weaves, taffetas have broken
out afresh. The skirt here was n beau
tiful cashmere In n deep. rich green.
and the bodice was one of the new
taffetas in the same shade. Draped

the passcmenterie and applique effects

Tipping in Berlin

Tipping is carried to a more desper-
ate extreme In Berlin than anywhere
else In the world. One must tip wher-
ever he goes. 1t would never do at all
to buy glass of beer for 10 or 20 pfen
nigs without giving the waiter 3 or 10
pfennigs. A tip goes with every bit of
luncheon, no matter how tritling. You
tip the cabman, the hotel porter, the
chambermaid, the waiter. Most sur
prising of all, you must tip the tram
car conductor or the omnibus man If
you want to get along comfortably. The
tipping system is even extending 10

Commissioner Mewborne had a pho

grating was done Feb. %, 1897, the

photograph was taken Aug. 80 last, at
which time the height Of the stalk was
five feet and the circumference at the
ground twenty inches. The growth Of
the scion from opening Of the bud until
Aug. 30, ninety-six days, was five and

epaulettes, of jetted Brussels net. The
sleeves were wrinkled chiffon over
taffeta. In the other cashmere gown
the color was nickel gray-a popular
one at present-and the trimming was
myrtle green velvet, the two shades
composing a highly fashionable com
bination. The belt and ornamental
bands were of this velvet, and the col

The sleeves were shirred along the out
side to above the elbow.
Satins are as stiff as possible, and
everything silken must crinlxle. Silks
are to be used a lot, too, and the old
time corded and gros grain sorts are
going to be on hand again because they
will adapt themselves so handsomely to
the blouse effects to be worn. Indeed,
the popularity Of the blouse is directly
accountable for the vogue of stiffness
in materials. Even when material ls
soft. 1t Is stiffened in effect by braiding.
There Is downright rush for braiding
on cloth, and even on velvet. An effect
of great weight Is given to many gowns
In this way, and Is often secured by
cord instead of fiat braid. Different
sizes of cord and different widths of
braid are employed in the most elab-
crate designs. Great pieces Of braiding
