same way, an architect will plan bet ter house than it's owner could have done, or decorator will make it more beautiful. The same enthusiasm that an artist puts into his pictures she pu}s into beautiful dress, while a sensitive conscience, not popularly supposed o be universal with dressmakers, makes her study economy for her customers as zealously as she studies fabrics and colors. Not one of the three is spend ing as much as when she did her own shopping.
 That this plan would work in many cases or without notifications I am not claiming; but there are enough busy women and enough delicate wom- en 10 whom the shopping conditions of the present are martyrdom, to war rant it's description. In a club of six or eight women dressmaker wishing to give her entire time to the business would find larger profit.
 Nearly everything notable in dress at present strives for effects in soft draperies, and the amount of hounc- ing and of oyer-elaboration of trim ming diminishes. at least so far as con- cerns imported costumes. A very sim pie house dress, for example, in warm red albatross cloth is made with Wat teau plaits in the back and with a slight train. On the shoulder in front is an effect of Greek draperies, the soft wool being arranged on the. figure, separate from the figure and without seams. The open fronts fall away in long curves to the train, and are edged with ruches of black baby ribbon-two at the top and six or seven below-headed by line of narrow cream lace There is yoke at the throat and soft finish without a collar. The front of the underdress is full, without other confinement than a loose girdle.
 A handsome cloth dress seen on 8 recent occasion was of rather light shade of brown, trimmed on the skirt with bands of fur, alternating with bands of cloth covered with rows of stitching The bodice was bolero with fronts arranged in plaits from the shoulders. The prettiest feature of the costume was the front of brown chif- fon, tucked bayadere-wise and falling in loose soft folds from throat to waist line
 Of the many combinations of fine, glossy, smooth-faced cloth with fancy velvet, one of the most successful is dress of rich plum-blue with bodice of velvet in varying shades of mauve and blue. Over the bodice comes an odd bolero of the plum-blue cloth, strapped across the front with two large pearl buttons The skirt is trimmed with inset bands of 1acein the popular black over white arrange ment.

either case sue first becomes aware at fitting time wherewith she is to be clothed-an ignorance as delightful to the three as it is to the housekeeper not to know until meal time what she's to have for dinner.
 As to results, I have already said that the three go about chuclling and bor- ing their acquaintances with tales of tho greatness of the scheme and the folly of folks who fatigue themselves ard waste time doing their own shop ping.
 It is only fair to say that each wom- an is undoubtedly better dressed than she ever was before or than she could be in any other way.
 It will be objected that such a plan is a sacrifice of individuality; but any one of the three will laugh at this. The average dressmaker, they say, IS a tyrant who tells her customers what is the style" and the average GUS toner exercises little more personal will or judgment, except as to what she ought to pay, than if she weren't con suited. There is a good deal of smoke in proportion to the fire in any talk of individuality in dressing.
 But it must be acknowledged that un- usual circumstances contribute to the success of this experiment. The dress maker is possessed of a really artistic faculty which enables her to4suft her clients figures and camplexions better than they coulj do themselves. In the

New York.-Three New York women on about chuckling and bragging of tbe success of an experiment. That whereof they boast would not please all women, nor yet be possible to them :; mt it may interest busy folks and in- galids as an attempt to solve the prob lem of shopping.
 About year ago these three women arranged with fourth to be clothed as the lilies of the field are clothe q without toiling or spinning. They wished to have nothing to do with dry eoods stores, shoe shops or milliners; 10 be dressed from head to feet in such manner as they had been accus- fo1ned and for such sums as they usual ly paid, but without expense of time or energy.
 Two of the three are business wom- en whose occupations require all their strength. The third is a wise woman, in that she knows her taste is poor and that she makes good appearance in proportion, as she employees the services of some one more artistic.
 The other party to the experiment is a young dressmaker of unusual ca pacity and originality. Prevented by tie care of young children from under taking q large business, she finds in responsibility for three wardrobes,wi occasional work for outside customers. about all she cares to do.
 This is the method of operation: The dressmaker visits her patrons period-

The man and the woman who are severely practical may wonder, per haps, at all this work, and question the adyisability of this great use of print CTS ink. To those not interested in ethnology it may seem 8 good deal like child play to gather up these quaint stories and the scattered hints of GUS toms. To this argument the folk lore scientists bring forward this answer:

HOLDEN FOOT BALL.

Holden, Oct. 13.-The Holden high
school eleven was easily defeated on
Fales' field by the Comet Cycle Club
eleven of Worcester yesterday after
noon, by the score of q to 0, in Is
minute halves. The Comet eleven was
too heavy for the high school eleven,
their average being $50 pounds, while
that of the high schools was 120, and
they repeatedly broke through the line
for large gains. The Worcester boys
ran around the Holden ends when they
pleased. Hardy did the best work for
the Worcester eleven, making two
touchdowns
On the Holden eleven the tackling of
Fales and Brown was excellent. Morse
and Carey also made good plays
William c. Evans of Holden UNI
PRED the game, and did satisfactory
work. The Holden team showed poor
form, not being able to play together.

A PLEASANT PAsT1ME.
Kite Parties Just the Thing for an Eve.
ning's Sport.
(From the New YORK Herald. )

(From the New York Herald)
Did you think, remembering your boy
hood or your girlhood and recalling what
you have recently read in magazines,
that kite flying was simply a youthful
amusement on the one hand and a new
science on the other? II you did you are
very far wrong. Kite flying has not yet
risen TO the dignity of great national
diversion, 1t is true, nor is 1t likely to, but
the latest phase Of it is that society has
taken 1t up as pleasing pastime.
These parties are generally given at
country houses particularly well situated
for this sport from being either upon or
close to hill that somewhat commands
the country or at houses in the centre of
a broad level plain. or at houses on
the circumstances and surroundings be
favorable to kite flying, especially since
the kite flyers of both sexes are very new
at this game.
A fine breezy night is chosen, and the
party marching forth separate into cou-
pies: There are half as many box kites
as there are men and girls, and at the
start kite is assigned to each couple
The rules and regulations are that two
men or two girls shall never be working
at any kite, and this is strictly adhered
At the signal the kites are started
Some. by force Of luck, or by skill in
handling, catch the breeze at once and
string vigorously. AS these successful
kites swing high above, with, many a
swirl and dip, they look strikingly pic
turesque especially II the night be very
clear and well moonliD,. the candle light
cleaning through their sides in faint rays
Once up aloft with these kites, the great
problem is to keep the candles alight. A
third or half have their lights suddenly
exttnguished, and the beauty and
strangeness of these great floating glow
worms of the air is partially, at least,
lost. 1t Is an hour of delightful uncer-
tatnty. The turn of fortune with a per-
fectly managed kite may see its light go
out; a badly controlled kite may keep
its light until it is finally pulled to the
ground; but on the other hand. a mis-
advised jerk may end that kites career
for the night and leave it hanging, a
black mass, in midair.

worked the men continually and as
fast as any player was tired out or
lost form, he was taken out and an
other substituted. No accidents
marred the work and the men seemed
in perfect physical condition after it
was all over.
The eleven showed up in good play
ing form, both as TO offensive and de-
fensive work, and an excellent showing
is demanded of the men at the game
Of Saturday. The varsity side scored
five touchdowns to the college sides

knew the signal code of the other. The
sensation Of the day was the work of
the three freshmen backs, who were

COURAGE is GOOD,
But Tech Looks for Nothing Short Of q
Sound ThrashIng by Trinity.

The Tech foot ball team Bned up last
night against the high school boys and
allowed the latter to have the ball all
the time. as it was the desire of Capt.
Walsh to give the end men, Merriam
and Maynard, who will have to play
ends at Trinity tomorrow, owing to
the absence Of Birge and Wood, as
much practice as possible on defensive
work
The Tech team held the high school
with apparent ease and seems to be in
fair way to make a better showing
than 1t was feared they would at Trim
ity. There is practically no hope of
the team winning on Saturday as this
is the hardest game they have had thus
far, and it would tax the best efforts
of the team that played Tufts to a
standstill last week to make even a
creditable showing against the strong
Trinity aggregation.
The men that will play are in good
shape, nevertheless, and may make a
better showing than the coach and cap
tain think is possible for them to do.
