That horse was Colonel. Where's

There were dissenting voices to this

Item. of Interest for the Laaies
About the Latest in
Dress.

English whipcord suitings in Russian,
stem and laurel green, dark Cuban red,
army, navy, and Russian blue. gray
brown and black. will be highly favored
Tor fall aud winter tailor costumes.
For those who do not lind the numer-
ous new round-waisted costumes be-
coming, there are basqne-bodice and
Jacket styles, also skirts of broadcloth
or ladies' cloth. with long, three-quar-
ter coats en- suite, the fronts very much
rounded and cut away, arching we'll
toward the hips. and showing very
much of the vest, which is elaborate or
extremely plain and simple, according
to the style of the costume itself. These
curved fronts are features of many
indeed, most-of the fashionable capes
and coats and also of some Of the open
fronted Directoire overdresses.
Salambo Is the new shade of rasp-
berry red, much like old rose tints, that
combines handsomely with Russian
green, certain shades of blue, and also
with the gray and biege dyes.
1t is urged in behalf of the continued
untidy fashion of the street-sweeping
skirt that the new heightened jackets
and coats are responsible for it. A very
much elongated out-of-door coat would
certainly look odd above short, all
round walking skirt. One fashion gives
rise to others, hence the general
lengthening of skirts; but it would be
far better to shorten the street wrap
or jacket than to add inches to the
street skirt.
Some of the handsome weaves in
lightweight ladies' cloth and vicuna
are in Princesse style, the skirt portion
very sheathlike and clinging about the
top on the front and sides until half
way down, then bursting into exuber-
ant waves and folds. The material on
the waist is drawn very smoothly over
a heavily-boned silk lining, and more
than half are cut low on the shoulders,
with gimps above Of some rich con-
| trasting material. To make them less
heavy, French tailors in many cases
make up cloth princesse gowns un-
lined. and many other cloth costumes
they complete without the usual foun-
dation skirt.
The substitution of transparent
sleeves for those of heavier material,
or the supplying sleeves to an even
ing toilet that one may suddenly wish
to render somewhat less dressy for
afternoon use, is not uncommon. and
certainly economical practice. White
attn sleeves, covered with cream or
black lace or figured silk net, trans
form a waist whose sleeves were orig
inally plain black. Supposing color is
introduced on the bodice, that same
color will supply foundation for the
undersleeves of chiffon net or lace.
and now that we cannot count on the
permanence of any fashion, it is abb
surd to purchase many gowns at one
time, for, by little trouble and at
tention to detail-remembering that
trifles make as well as mar matters
sartorial-one can always compass
that variety which every dainty wom-
an likes to introduce into her attire.

Notwithstanding her nose turned up, there

testimony that heredity isn't everything
She was visiting in Brooklyn before the hot
spell and the first young man she met was
one who prides himself on his intellectuals
Whether anyone else does or not is another
story. As it happened, the young man had
an opportunity shortly after the meeting
to talk with the young woman alone. and he
did not fail to throw few brains at her.
"Ah, Miss Sophia" he said, with soulful
yearn in hi. gentle voice, Il presume you a t.

osophy in which Boston is 50 rich and Brook

Mr. Blank, do not attend any"
Indeed, and do you feel no interest in
any OF the concepts of modern philosophic
thought?"
None whatever, fear" and she really
seemed to be sorry to have been go careless
of her golden, glorious opportunities.
And does not the subjective idealism OF
existence in delightful Boston profoundly
affect the reality of your Ego?"
so far l have not observed that it did,,
she said, apoloeetically.
How can it be possible?" he exclaimed

No" she answered, measuring her words
carefully. II should say it was not. Don't
you know as long as we Bostonians know

overmuch about the rest of it. Why should
we! Ism that enough for us to know"
