the little queen will in this matter Of

one who will become a Protestant is
what the Dutch want. This is the
only point the government would urge
against the queens marriage TO that
fine young man. the Prince Luigi,
Duke of Abruzzo, for whom she is
known to cherish a strong liking. The
dark beauty, the very exemplary be-
havior and the daring explorations of
Luigi have made a strong appeal to
the queen. She is a woman after all
and loves masculine vigor just like any
1S-year-old girl.
Luigi himself is by no means indif-
ferent to the queens friendly feeling.
Beyond his duties in the ItaIian navy
and his interest in exploring unknown
parts of the world he has no chances

No longer does one see the possessors

fringed at both ends, and one side
woven in bright plaid streaks. You
take this to your tailor and have him
cut it up and sew it down into wrap
that hugs your shoulders and pins
your arms tight to your sides. It must
have a tall, stiff, fringed collar, and,
reaching the waist line, flow about the
hips in an excessively ugly ruffied tail,
overhung with fringe. Big steel or
pearl buttons and fringed reverS
stolidlY ornament the front, and there
you have a travesty on the golf cape
of noble memory. By making the body
of the wrap with the plain side of the
blanket turned out and cutting hip ruff
fe, collar and revers from the plaid
side, an insult in color is added TO this
injury in cut; therefore, if the cape is
not dead to usefulness it surely is dead
to all sense of beauty.
FOR FROSTY DAYS.
A far more optimistic tone can be
taken about the melton and beaver
cloth cGpes, deliberately Stitched and
strapped, that are striving for the
grace of recognition alongside the bold,
bad blanket wraps. These, like the new
skirts, are cut TO do away with all full
ness, and they take the shoulders
without a wrinkle, just as the good
skirts enclose a Wearer'S hips. In
beautiful radiant shades of red, carbon

capes come and they sweep down from
10 to % inches below the waist line.
They show a conspicuous seam through
the center of the back, another on
either shoulder, for by straps ana puck
cred stitchings these junction lines are
turned into broad ornamentation. A
collar, fairly gothic in proportions,
turns up about the neck, and down
the fronts run two double boX-pleated
rushes OF silk. satin or velvet. Any of
these three materials is employed for
the lining, within which a most graft
flying array of pockets is placed by
the considerable tailor.

New Way of Treating the Common Kinds of Fur For

New York, Sept. 2.-We are already
beginning to think seriously of the
wherewithaI we shall be protected
against the sharp. white teeth of the
first autumnal frost. AS long ago as
April we sang requiem over, recalled
the good works and virtues of, and
tenGeriy buried, the cape, and 10 and

as you please from the shoulders of
women whose taste is above suspicion
There is no getting about the fact that
women like the cape, and have, of their
own will, resuscitated it, but a more
bungling, aimiess sort Of a garment
WAS never seen, unless one admit the
straight jacket.
If you are going on a September va
cation to the mountains to see the
leaves turn, or you have been asked to
coach through some particularly nice
bit of country, you can't pretend to be
recently equipped unless you do carry
cape; but not your comfortable oiG

buy big imported Scotch blanket,

AUTUMN COATS AND cAPEs.

An odd feature of the dress coat, as
differentiating from the severely sim
pie street jacket, is its sleeve. 1t fulls
a little on the shoulder and is cut long
over the hand. Often enough its collar
is a close crushed band of satin, with
rear ruff of ostrich tips, and most
becoming is this last conceit. Dress
coats are also allowed great latitude in
the matter of buttons. A few fine or
namental fellows are considered in good
taste for bringing out the points in
such wraps, and the belts for such
coats, when they are used, are folds of
satin joining in a small compact ro-
settle to the left-hand side.
Street morning coats depend for their
chaste beauty on straps and stitches.
A handsome Chesterfield falls nearly to
the knees, or a. Kaiserin is Topped off
close about the hips. Either choice is
permitted. A few long coats have fitted
fronts, but square, full backs caught
in under a broad strap that reaches
just to the under arm seam at either
side. Fly fronts. strapped seams and
the pockets applied to the outside,
turnover cuffs and fiat collars, are all
distinguishing marks of the smart
morning coat.
Melton, heavy Vienna, NienneSe and
rough Scotch moor cloth are the ma
terials of which the walking coats are
made. For coolest weather is showed
a goods called felt cloth, that is SO
sturdy of weave il makes up without
a lining, and its revers will turn back,
in many instances, from vests of fur.
