the doors of the hall where the fair was
held were opened, a strange, assorted mon
took possession of the well-stocked wa
terway. Round and round the lake raced
the crowd made up of little boys IN pet
ticoats. clergymen in long-tailed coats,
reverend grandfathers, noble-loOkinS
dudes fat matrons and debutantes in
lovely frocks all bawliug, scratching,
showing. pushing, wildly gesticulating,
tramping on each others corns, but in a
gale of merriment, and every one pursu-
ing a special and speedy fish. A small
girl fell plump into the lake, was whisk
ed out but not a fisherman or woman
stopped to soOthe or render it to its nurse.
Now and then, with a wild yell. some
body would beat way through the crowd,
exhausted but clutching fish and radi-
ant over the chocolate cigar or tin watch
it would be found to contain.
Serious and scientific fishermen declared
they had more fun over one gilt paper
minnow than over the ninety and nine
shining trout or tarpon ever taken.
If there is a feature of the new and i'm
proved charity fair that presumes to rival
the fish pond, il Is the brigands den. Into
this service are pressed all the young gem
tlemen banjoists, and young lady warblers
who used to hold forth at the fairs to the
great misery of the crowd In place Of
the banjo and sheet music, they are given
toy pistols, tin swords and wooden dag
gers, and wear these weapons with the APP
propriate costumes of Turkish, Sicilian or
Montenegrin highwaymen.
With their feminine fellow brigands this
troupe is given possession of a passag eway
marked dangerous" Venturesome folk
who enter here think they have fallen on
a free show and find themselves wandering
in a weird, dark sort of lumber room of
high piled soap boxes that pretend to Re
rocks brOoms waving their straws in the
air as trees, paper snakes coiled as for
spring, while stuffed owls perch about like
eagles. Suddenly there is a command 10
halt, and the cold steel of a toy pistol
is pressed against the visitors forehead
or shirt bosom; lanterns twinkle, percus-
sion caps snap fiercely, and the brigands
and their wives order hands up and de-
mand the usual alternative. A pretense Of
search is carried through, one of the ma
raudng ladies' takes down the visitors
name in Il neat notebook and then, after
coolly robbiug him or her of some posses
sion the victim is allowed to go.
1t rests with the whim of the brigands
as to what shall be taken. Sometimes
mans watch, scarfpin, or sleeve links are
secured while a csrd-case, handkerchief
or parasol is sternly demanded of q lady

plOrer will issue from he highwaymen' 5

Every hour the brigand band hold an
auction of effects at the cave door, or an
nounce they will accept suitable ransom
for the stolen goods. Nobody is allowed
to bid over a fixed limit, and the pro-
ceeds of the auction are turned into the
fair fun. Millicent Arrowpoint

To one who is to make a second visit
to Hymen's altar, the third costume is
recommended. In the original this is an

child color a very tender tone of lavender
is indicated and down the side and about
the foot of the skirt is enhanced by
trimming of violet satin, edged with silver
braid. Bands of lace, violet satin and
bright streaks of silver braid form the
pointed vest of the body from which
rolls back a ruffle rever of orchid-cOlored
silk, trimmed IN harmony with the skirt.
A silk Medici rises at the back of the
neck, and a hat of orchid tinted felt
beautified with knots of violets, white
tulle and wired bows of black velvet, com
pletes the attractive toilet.
Boys in calling, school and evening dress

the girls signify to what extent the tailor
fashions have gone in walking suits. One
of the pretty gowns has its upper portion
of skirt and waist of sage green cloth, and
the lower halves of the richer rifle green.

series of jagged points that overlap the
dark green portion, and are finished with
black silk braid. Points of sage green

OCTOBER BRIDES.

Autumn wedding Gowns Arc Sur
passingIy Rich and Are Artist
CHILLY Beautiful.
New York. oct. 1T is Door fashion
that does not benefit somebody, for while
the average woman is making valiant war
against the new skirt, autumn brides are
fun of deep content. This new cut Of the
neither draperies certainly adds to the
hight and slendorness OF those who are
booked this month for that trying walk
up the church aisle, though in all respects
the bridal dresses are pretter than ever
before.
Any rich white silken goods is acceptable
for wedding gown. but if you must be
wed inothe most fashionable fabric of the
season you will have a white duchess silk
This is neither more nor less than a very
heavy peau de sole, and sugarwhte is
the proper infection of blanched purity
sn which il must be chosen. Having gone
thus far ahead in search of novelty, an
October bride can content herself with
some of the orthodox and long approved
properties of her romantic position. For
instance she cannot be more fashionable
than trim her white robe with pearl or
silver passamentrie. Perhaps the silver
appliques lead in popularity, chiefly be-
cause they are woven and worked In

lover knots. Seed pearl passamentrie is
very chaste and classical in pattern, ana

appropriateness showed flights of doves,

olive in their seed pearl bills.
Limerick Lace Given Preference.
There is no use trying to be dogmatic
on the question of lace for the all-im-
portant toilet. Any lace that is pretty and
good is fashionable, though Limerick is
the kind that brides-to-be seem to prefer.
This is made in SO light and graceful "a
pattern and in such abundance in Ireland
that 1t is, of all handmade laces, the
least expensive.
Perhaps it is as well, also, to comment
on the brevity of the wedding gown trains
A half a dozen yards of white satin is
considered rank and tasteless eNtrava-
gance in any but a royal parsonage who
dresses according to tradition largely. The
fair republican orders the back breadths
of her skirt to curtain out six to ten
inches, and that is all, and if you turn
up the bottom of the well-built train you
will be apt to find IL lined, unlike the
front of the skirt, with brilliant silver It's

Touching the remaining topography of
the marriage robe, il is essential to say
that a very high Medici collar is typical
of all the best examples. Wired lace, or
silk muslin shirred on TO a wire frame, Is
what every properly costumed woman re
quires, and some of these eomb-shaped
collars are cut in three gothic points. or
rounded just as often as they are squared
off. Exceedingly pretty collars are made
all of silver lace, or the edge of a silk
muslin collar is trimmed with a stiff, mar
row border of this bright decoration.
In sharp contrast TO the Medici ruff at
the rear is the low-cut of the collar in

spring, to swathe all brides, even TO the
ears, in close-fitting satin, and this was
said to be the consequence of the wedding
celebrated by daylight A very few wo-
men did profit by this arrangement, but
the majority of brides appear to much
better effect when their white gowns open

have the fronts of collars cut to the base

THE REFORMED FISH POND.
Promises to Drive the Old Time

Premises to Drive the Old Time
Charity Bazars and Fairs Out of
Business.
New York, Oct There is certainly no
better variety show on the boards than
some of the charity fairs society women
have been booming this autumn, for ladies
whose toques cover plenty of brains as
well as plenty of curly locks have taken
the matter under their vigorous and re-
forming interest.
One of the most successful SHARES de-
vsed for wheedlng dollars out of the
pockets of supplemented man is the re-
formed fish pond. This is a genuine body
of water, with an island in the center.
This latter is made circular in shape, and
about six or eight feet in diameter Right
out of the center rises very gaily painted
kiosk with a pagoda-shaped roof, and the
remaining expanse of the island is covered
with very green stage grass. The isle is
then entirely encircled by metal trough,
three or five feet wide, and by means of
a very little pressure put on to the big
hose that supplies the trough, The water is
sent around the island with rush that
recalls the rapids below Niagara Falls
On to the island il is essential to maroon
a company of damsels selected, of course,
with due reference to good looks. From
three to six bells will pretty comfortably
populate the place, and each and every
inhabitant must be dressed In the COS

THE TURKEY CLAW CHARM.
A Fan That Brought BeIIeship to a
COnfiding Debutante.

New York, Oct. 7.-Fashion is like thu

holds good apropos of the luck charms so
universally worn by women. If one would

of a gobbler. OF course, they are too large
and ungainly to be used as the soft fuzzy
looking little rabbits foot was, so girls are
having them mounted as paper weights
for their men friends, OF as parasol han
dies for their own use. One particularly
popular girl al a Southern summer resort
during the past season carried large fan
of white turkey feathers-tail feathers Of

and openly avowed that she owed all her
good luck, referring to her prestige as a
belle to this charm.
The little images of ST. Anthony and ST.
