l smooth fine cloth, in color between old rose and fawn. The skirt is striped down at intervals with lines of black silk braid and is bordered at the bot tom with a narrow braid of mink fur. The bodice is of a close-ftting coat type with basques, which round out half way over the hips and suggest mans dress coat-remotely. Crystal buttons down the front give a finish much in vogue.
 A dress worn this week at Staten Island garden party was of purplish blue yelling, made over taffeta of the same color. The clinging skirt, even eNaggerating the prevailing smooth ness and seantness, fared suddenly at the bottom in a bunch of pointed ruff fles. X black satin sash tied in large bows at the front of the waist fell in fringed ends 10 the ground. The blouse bodice turned back in large revers, faced with smaller lace tri- angles, upon vest of folded green chiffon. The lower part of the bodice was crossed by bayadere ruffles of the dress material.
 more elaborate costume that ap- peared on the same occasion was of harebell blue cloth, the skirt simulat- ing an oyer=dress open down the front and edged with black lace on each side. About the hips this oversltirt was in- crusted with cream-colored lace, marked off by shirred ruffles of blue ribbon from q lower black lace section. Below the black lace was more of cream color and again another division of black at the bottom. The arrange ment of the bodice was equally com plieated, black and white lace bretelles meeting on the bosom under yellow ish velvet knot and a full, hanging, yellowish lace ruffle.
 The cream-colored serge dress is the most popular of early autumn prom ises. It is worn with one of soft black satin, lined-for instance-with tur- quoise blue serge and fastened with turquoise buttons.
 There is as much gray as ever, though gray usually gets frost nipped along with blue some time in Septem- Der. Geranium red is making it's an nual appearance, along with great variety of plum shades bordering on crimson. Watered and shaded silks are announced as the most fashionable wear. butare hardly seen as yet except on sample cards. Solid colors have much the better of novelty goods, the latter being used only as trimmings and auxiliaries.

The attempt to compel the use of the perfectly plain sleeve is apparently abandoned. A few dresses are turned out with the shoulders uncompromis- ingiy tight and severe, but the major fly of women prefer little fullness at this point or at least jacket or epau- lette, and for once the majority of women are ruling.
 The regime of glass buttons is only begun. Certain things belong to- gether. When we get one of them we are sure to get more of the same lot There is a fashion group which in- cludes crinoline, houneed dresses shawls, fchus, fringe, open-worked silk stockings, sandal shoes, ringlets, giass buttons and earrings. We have been getting items out of this list for some time. We have not reached shawls yet, but we are to wear shawl shaped wraps this autumn, and, with the exception of crinoline, we have about all the other things; notably the ringlets and earrings; glass ear- rings, by the way, go with our glass buttons. Crystal sets in silver is the newest thing in jewelry.
 Having adopted pretty much every thing out of the hoop-skirt group but the hoopskirt, it is prophesied that that too will come. Let us hope for the variety advertised in the '6os as per- hitting a lady to ascend steep stair lean against a table. throw herself into an armchair, pass to her stall at the opera and occupy a fourth seat in a carriage without utineonvenience to her self or others, or provoking the rude remarks of observers, thus modifying in an important degree all those pc culiarities (of the hoopsl1irt) tending to destroy the modesty of English women.'
 But this is wandering a long way from glass buttons.

 The going-away dress of bride, for which. of course, all rules of utility are relaxed, was of nut-brown covert coat ing made over taffeta of the same shade. The skirt opened on the left side over narrow panel of white cloth upon which was outlined spiral de sign n narrow green and gold cording, The bodice was laid in Y plaits back and front, the upper portion being a deep yoke of green and white silk barred with green velvet ribbon. Pierced glass buttons entered into the scheme of decoration.
 Don't have tailor dress" said a woman of experience to a girl who was going west to attend convention of college women. If you do you must either ruin the fit of the bodice CT sit upright in the car all day long.
 For fatiguing journeys nothing has ever been devised to equal a plain jacket, blouse and skirt costume. The girl to whom the advice was addressed chose brown tweed skirt of the shade of the copper beech tree, with one Of the new hussar jackets of the same material. The skirt was untrimmed; i; the jacket had ble-breasted fronts, large revers and deep sailor collar. Il was unlined, though the fronts were faced with a bronzy green silk, and was trimmed only with eagle-pat- termed buttons. A supply of blouses and shirt waists completed comfort able outfit.
 Tailor dresses for September walk in the paths they entered last spring. Their ancient code of severity" is even more openly disregarded, and in elaboration of effects they rival con fessedly dressy costumes. They are made of the finest, smoothest and most beautiful broadeloths. They are cut, so far, upon the general lines laid down during the summer though even closer attention is paid to the skin tight fit about the hips, while the length of the skirt has been increased in front and at the sides, as well as be- hind.
 A lady mortified a fashionable dress maker by walking into her rooms in a skirt that displayed some part of the shoes.

ssBut, madam, broadcloth will be considered the most desirable of all materials this autumn, said the clerk, with the air of one not to be contra dicted

 4 number of thoroughly good tray- cling dresses have been made within q week or two for sensible people who take their outing when the pleasant weather of early autumn sets in. One of these was of brown and white checked mohair, the skirt stitched twice about the knees and again about sthe hips in waved lines.

'No," said the lady. But can't spare both hands o hold my dress up, and can't spare $50 for founeed and lece-trimmed petticoat for folks to look at when my dress is held up"
 Get bicycle dress, then" advised the dressmalSer. ''People wear very long dresses and very short dresses, but the rather short dress-well, it looks peculiar"
 Which goes to show how quickly the eyes become accustomed or unaceus- toned to fashion. Also it leaves the woman who does not choose to wear a bicycle dress in as bad predicament as before.
 A beautiful cloth costume finished within the week was of new and soft shade of tan. The skirt was decorated with three bands of black lace ribbon put on slightly waving lines. Bold leaf designs in black Chantilly were scat tered between and above the lines ir- regularly. The bodice was arranged to pouch very slightly. Black lace rib bons, starting from the shoulders, from under the arms and from the sides of the waist met on the bosom. The leaf designs were repeated on the upper part of the bodice and formed small epaulettes on the shoulders. There was q folded belt of black satin. The picture hat of black straw was trimmed with plumes.

Three Red Men Who Were Not ns Had as Stupid as They
 Looked.

Three full-blooded Indians sat un- der the awning covering the main deck l forward of one of the steamboats ge- ing down the river on recent Sunday afternoon. Two of them were bucks, apparently about 50 years old-but an Indians age is hard even to approxi- mate-and the other was an old man. All three of them were neatly and 1 quietly dressed in dark store clothes, and they all paid strict attention to their own business, talking Indian, that sounded good deal like Chinese, to each other.
 Two funny young men, accompanied by pair of giggly young women, took camp chairs directly in the rear of the Indians. They all thought the gut tural grunts of the three Indians very amusing indeed, and the two funny young men got off fair imitation of the Indians talk.
 You wouldn't think, girls, would you, that those fellowsSare so devil ish?" sad one of the funny young men, in a voice that could be heard all over the deck, nodding in the direction of the Indians. Bad bunch, though As lief stick knife into you as look at you. They get a suit c duds and come on here to see the Great Spirit with a lot O kicks they have piled up, and then they go back to their tepees, put on their old blankets and wait for white folks to pass by so's they can throw hatchets at lem. Bad bunch, Pm a-teling you"
 ''fhat's what" chimed in the other funny young man. -.NNouldn't be bit surprised if they'd tear loose right now-''
 "Gracious mel" exclaimed the two young women.
 "-tear loose right now and slaugh- ter and scalp everyone in sight Who was the duck that said the only good Injun's q dead Injun?' Knew his gait all right, whoever he was. Just hear 'em grunt. Making it up. I'll bet dol lar, to scnttle the boat and carry all hands to the bottom. Just like In- dians to do thing like that, anyhow"
 Goodness gracious!" exclaimed the two young women.
 sGoyernment ought to round the whole caboodle of 'em up and chloro- form 'em, that's what" said the first funny young man. Outrage to let 'em run around loose. If had my way"
 "Sh-sh-shl" warned the two young women. They'll hear you"
 Hear nothing said the first funny young man. They don't know Eng fish"
 Just then the waiter passed along the deck. One of the bucks beckoned to the waiter with his finger. When the. waiter got close to him the buck asked of his two companions;
 "Whatil you take?"
 "I think I'll have a glass of sarsapa- rilla," said the old Indian.
 "I want seltzer lemonade, ;" said the other buck.
 Waiter, just bring us a sarsaparilla and two seltzer lemonades," said the first buck.
 The two funny young men and the two giggly young women took this in with open mouths. When the waiter had gone, said one of the funny young men:
 Say, the music's playing on the back part of the boat. Let's go back there, hey?''
 And they went, the three Indians looking at each other and smiling com. placently.-Washington Star.

by means of the new vantage-ground she is
about to enjoy, the United States stands to
reap the first fruit. Now that the war with
Spain is over, there will be time to devote
attention to the important question of east
ward expansion OF the United States and
the place which the United States may be
expected to occupy among the nations of
the world. On the subject of eastward ex-
pansion Mr.. Archibald r. Colguhoun,
whose book, China in Transformation, is
OF the utmost interest and value geographic
cally, politically, and commercially, has
an article in Harper's Magazine for Octo-
Der, in which he points out that recent
events have made it clear that two great
continental powers-Russia and France
are actively engaged in China on political
campaign which is intended to shut the
door against the commerce of the Anglo
Saxon powers while Germany is tacitly
supporting that dual alliance in order to

Ii was all excitement to the women,
too. for few days, for they've so busy
assisting the men that they did not think
of the long, weary days. Besides they did
not believe that their husbands would see
any actual warfare. They thought it
would all be over within a few weeks and
then Johnnie would come marching home,
and they would have something else to
talk about beside the commonplace things
of life. But one woman thought about it.
She was the wife OF the second lieutenant
of Troop D. They had married the very
next day after his graduation from the
Point, and his first station had been at
tais lonely fort He told her to be brave.
GU are soldiers wife," he said to
her, as she burst into tears and buried her
face on his shoulder.
"Yes, | am soldiers wife, bat that
does not prevent me from having heart, ="
she answered.
mo" he replied, land, having a brave
heart, true heart and knowledge that
you are a soldiers wife, you must face all
sorrows and trials without finchng.'
The words appealed to her. The half a
dozen other women in the post thought 70
much of her, mere girl, and pited her so
that her husband should be ordered to the
front that they asked the major to assign
him as the officer in charge of the fort dur
ing the absence Of the troops, but he
begged 50 hard to 90 that he was allowed
to do so. The women spoke to his wife
about it; told them what they had done.
Robert wants to CO." she said "It is
! the chance Of a lifetime with him, and does
not his country call?'
Dut you?" answered one OF the
women.
She looked her questioner straight in the
| eyes.
II am a soldiers wife," she replied
proudly.
The rush was soon over, and the men
were now mounted and ready to CO. The
officers babe their wives good-by, and they,
too, sprang into the saddle. The bugle
sounded, and the troops took up the march
over to the railroad The women stood
and looked across the sun cursed plain
until every particle of dust raised by the
horses had settled, until all the world APP
peared just as before, and then each went
in to her own house. That night they

in strengthening that ascendency, so max
ing it practically unassailable.
1t requires DO elaborate argument to
demonstrate that injury to England would
be disastrous to the United States, for the
power of the United States to extend her
trade in Asia, and, in large measure, to
expand as nation, depends much upon the
Anglo Saxon supremacy, and as the CON-
mon aims and aspirations OF the United
States and Britain, the bond Of race, Of
religion, and of government indicate for
them common destiny, shall we not join
Mr. Colquhoun in wishing that 'may
leaders arise who will guide both natona

perlty, and bring them to submit without
murmur to the sacrifices which will enable
the race to maintain the ascendency it has
so long held"

How She Spent Many Anxious Hours Awaiting
News From Her Loved One.

A mere desolate site for fort could not
However, the United States government
was not looking for beautiful scenery
when it had the post built, but for loca-
ton close to the treacherous Indian and
where she soldiers could quickly move to
the front.
Abound the fort stretche the monotonous
plains, rising and faling-the earth
waves-in every direction until in the dis
lance they seemed to meet the SKY. 1t
was Il dreary, desolAte place, the only sign
of vegetation being the sagehrush, the
grease weed and punches OF cactus every
where. There were acres OF alkali, all
burning beneath the sun during the day
and freczioy beneath the moon at night.
There was no animal life upon all the ex-
papse OF country either except the prairie
dogs and now and then a lean and hungry
coyote.
SO dismally calm was the landscape that
even the buzzard hestated in his stately
flight, and the little gray hawk sailed on
and Oh, doubtless with his eyes closed to
the earth.
As general thing there was amusement
enough at the fort. Men assigned to the
post made up their minds that they de
pended upon each other for amusements,
and their wives shared the same belief,
and then we're they not soldiers wives?
But of course the little petty jealousies and
little petty quarrels crept into that particu-
lar post just the same as they bad crept
into every other post and would continue
to creep in as long as the government sup
ported forts and as long as men and women
lived aud breathed for that matter. 1t
was very lonely around the post now, for
the men had gone to the front. The war
had been declared. That awful specter,
dreaded by every wife of soldier and
longed for by the men, had come There
was considerable speculation as TO it,
would not be called out, they were so far
removed from the railroad. Perhaps the
war department would not even remember
that fort was in existence.
TIL women were not anxious for the
war. They knew what it meant. Their
faces were very sad when the orders came

mad up the post. There was wild cheer.
