There has been no case of witchcraft in
the United States that the law took hold
of; but in the colony of Massachusetts in
1852 broke out the crusade against witch
craft, and lasted until twenty persons had
been executed. This was the famous '.Sa-
lem witchcraft'' excitement The law was
followed in all that was done; it was the
English law passed in the time of James I,
quoted as James 1, Chapter IL, which was
not repealed until 1886. Cotton Mather was
a distinguished clergyman of Massachu-
sets who believed thoroughly in witch-
influence. 2. You have not read your Bible

Autumn Capes.

New YORK POST.
Though capes have lost a degree of their
recent prestige, they are too useful and
convenient to be wholly discarded, and as
American women have not yet very general
~ consented to wear the eel-skin sleeves
with absolutely nothing in the shane of
frill, tiny puff, or epaulette on the shoulders,
they will no doubt continue to elect for
capes which do not crush their sleeves. and,
further, save the trouble of tucking one
sleeve into another Strictly becoming and
stylish, however the majority of capes are
not. and to some women they are distinctly
the reverse. Short and over-full, they give
a decided humpishness to many figures. For
general becomingness the three-quarter
cape, covering the hips. and only moderate
ly full, is superior to all others of it's kind,
and the less trimming the better. The fash
lon of wearing dress skirts tight-ftting
around the top has now extended upwards.
The newest capes outline the shoulders,
with no fullness to spare. The fronts are
usually rounded and shaped founce sew
eral inches deep is added to the edge. Cloth
and tweed capes are made to match cos
tunes for early autumn wear. With stole
or scarf-shaped fronts, or those simply
rounded. the cape is not infrequently shawl
shaped at the back and, so fashioned looks
more graceful than when entirely circular

itself just at the back. with an attendant in
clnation to dip dejectedly at each side.
The fichu cape, Win its deep points and
short sides. corrects this defect. For the
intermediate season before fur garments of
any description are necessary. velvet will
be the chosen fabric for handsome capes,
and for the autumn there will be quite as
many models of colored silk velvet as of
the standard black. Russian green is a
handsome, favorite and becoming color,
which can be worn ABOVE gowns of nearly
many different colors as black. There
will also be capes in various shades of
brown velvet, dahlia, plum color violet,
dark geranium and Cuban red, all of these
decorated with black. either rich lace or
chiffon, in full ruches and pleated frills,
with much jet in points or in trellis pat

White lace is less widely used on velvet
capes than formerly. capes of this descrip-
ton being lined with white satin and re-
served for very elegant dress occasions.
Tinted satin brocades of magnificent quail

signed for similar special uses. Box cloth
capes in cream, beige, fawn, tan, green,

autumn wear They are short in style and
do not cut off the waist line nor hide the en-
tire curve of the figure. They are finished
with machine-stitched straps of the cloth,
and have a velvet turnover collar faced
with the cloth. Shot or checked taffeta silk
forms the lining.

SHOPPING IN ITALY.
Methods and Manners That Try the
Patience of Americans.
Christina Terhuna Herrick in HarnerS

Christina Terhune Herrick, in Harper S
Bazaar.
The American finds much to try her in
shopping in Italy. In the first place, brisk
ness is unknown. The italian always pro-
duces the impression of feeling that he has
the whole day ahead of him. Two Of mis-
favorite phrases illustrate this-"C'e tempo"
(there is time) and "Ci vuol paZienZa" Zone
must have patience.) Whether one agrees
with the first expression or not, she has
ample cause and opportunity to exercise the
second. The leisurely bearing with which
the statesmen bring forth their wares drives
the hurried and unphilosophical shopper to
the verge of desperation.
The very manner in which goods are kept
stored in Italy is fruitful cause or an
guish. Suppose, for instance, that one is
searching for spring underwear. With US
such articles are kept in boxes or drawers,
and it is an easy thing to whisk them out
and display them to the buyer. In Italy.
on the contrary, each style and size is wrap
ped in paper, and the package tied with a
string. To make selection it is necessary
out of parcels. during which lively would
be purchasers suffer from the fdgets. 1t
is the same way with stockings and a
variety of other necessary articles, and the
buyer must either say and practise: sCi
vuol pazienza or render herself bankrupt
in cellular tissue.
Another source of trial is what appears to
us the outlandish method of having things
that apparently belong together sold in diff
ferent establishments. Silks are found in
one shop. woollens in another, and ribbons
needles and thread. If a woman wishes to
hang pair of curtains, she purchases the
materials at one shop the rod and rings at
a different place, the iron fixtures at a
third, and has to go to fourth to find an
upholsterer to put them up. She must visit
a tobacco shop for salt, and cannot ind, as
with us. vegetables. fruit. or bread at a gro
GERS. 1t may thus readily be seen that one
must travel a good deal to do her market
ing or shopping. Add to all this the confu-
sion incident to the fact that the standards
of measure and weight are different from
ours, metre exceeding yard, and pound
idea may be formed of the mental compli-
cations Of the traveller. There is also GER
tain amount of beating down to be done in
nearly every shop; and even after half an
hours bargaining the purchaser cherishes
awful doubts lest she might not have bought
the thing cheaper. Shopping is really al
most equal to the contemplation of faded
frescoes for lowering the mental tone. and
1t is hard to say which has the more to
answer for in the exhausted state In which
most travellers leave Italy.

Have the kitchen Small.
Ladies' Home Journal.

By all means have a small kitchen. A
large kitchen with a cellar door at one
side, a table at another, a range at another.
and the sink at still another, requires too
much walking. Time is consumed in going
from one place to another rather than with
actual work. Have your range placed in a
light and convenient part OF the kitchen:
drawers and spaces underneath for keeping
utensils, one portion OF the top covered with
zinc and the other half left plain Have
underneath the top baking board which
you can easily pull out. The sink should
be near at hand. The pantry may be on
the other side Of the kitchen, and be suf-
ficiently large TO hold barrel OF flour, a
small pastry table and a convenient ar
rangement of shelves. The floor may be OF

possible. Instead of an infant being carried

Painted Jewelry.

New YORK Times.
A woman who is wearing the pretty
light lavenders of half-mourning made her
appearance at the house of a friend
the other day with what appeared to be
81 new piece of jewelry, and something a
little out Of the ordinary run of jewelry.

Barefooted Children.

Philadelphia Press
1t is no unusual thing this summer to
meet the barefoot boy at every turn
among the smart set. Master Millionaire
has discarded shoes and stockings for the
hot weather and trudges through country
grass and over seashore sand in the full
bissfulness of barefootedness.
This is an encroachment of the custom
which has prevailed in the South for many
years. There the children of the best fam
lilies run unshod all through the summer.
Far from making their feet large and I'M
shapely, as some have supposed, this free
dom from footgear allows a natural devel-
opment and prevents troubles OF the feet.
One tall and graceful Southern woman, who
never knew summer in shoes until she
was half grown wears now double A, a
size which anyone might envy, for few feet
are narrow enough to carry 1t.
The healthfulneSs of this new fad Is UNI
doubtable. The principles of air-baths are
contained in it; all the foundations OF phys
ical culture are its footholds. A radical
physician has lately declared that infants
ought not to be burdened with any clothing
at all for time, so that their little bodies
could absorb all the oxygen possible. The
barefooted child in summer is a grown-up
edition of his scheme
The novelty OF il attracts children at
once the freedom of ii holds them and its
healthfulness recommends it as delightful
experiment.
