pushed most vigorously. 1t is not ON
the whole a shade that the average
woman looks her best in, but bronze
brown camers hair zibeline, with an
interviewer line of plum color, and
called stoc-toc," is the handsome cloth
that has been designed to suit all COM
plexions. Toc-toc or automobile is the
name given, since in the gay capital
women have toilets especially designed
for riding in their motor carriages in
the Bots. a genuine toc-toc costume
is usually made with a gmart coatee,
the front of which closes very snugiy
and has short, fiat cutaway tails on the
hip. American women, who go golfing
and skating and a-riding in the parks,
have taken kindly to the coatee, just
as they approve heartily of facing the
wide or narrow brims of their dark felt
hats with light yellow, pale blue, or
white straw.

New York, Nov. 9--Was there ever a
time when the doctrine that beauty I'M
adorned is adorned the most was more
discounted than in this autumn of fash
iOnable grace? The prevailing theory
Of modish beauty is not only to walk in
silksattire, but to actually ransack the
ages and spoil the chimes in order to
add one more f1ounce or spangle to that
hopelessly complicated problem, the
smart toilet.
At the present moment women are
making their final, and to be sure it's a
feeble, protest against the overdress,
which, from an ominous promise, has
grown all at once into a mighty fact
There are dressmakers so secure in
their faith that the oVerdress has come
to stay, that they viii turn away a
customer rather than make a skirt
without train and drapery Their ar
Sument IS that TO turn out so Old-faSh-
Toned a garment as a straight, undeco-
rated, short skirt would be equal to an
admission of tagging in fashica's rear,
and it is better to lose a customer than
suffer so deep a disgrace. The cIlstO-
mer usually goes off il a rage and i'm
agining vain thing, to return humbly
in few days and order the inconven-
lent trappings that the old tyrant
Fashion has decreed.
THE TOP SKIRT.
There is no denying that the over
skirt is a pleasant relief to the eye
grown tired OF straight lines, and that
q good many women are the better in
looks for the kindly, if uncomfortable,
draperies. SO far no hard and fast rule
has been made for the hanging Of the
overskirts. 1t may take the form of
hounces, put on in the Louis XIV mode,
it can be a redingote, or you can at
tach your extra frills to the long tolls
of your basque, and thus cast the extra
weight of wool or silk on your Shout
ders. You can, if you like, revive the

ment, too much can hardly be said. and

As a Brother.

A certain curate, says an exchange,
was of painfully nervous tempera-
ment. and, in consequence, was con-
stantly making awkward remarks
intended as compliments-to the bishop
and others. Having distinguished him
self to an unusual degree during d
gathering of clergy to an afternoon tea
at the bishops palace, he was taken
to task for his failings by senior
curate who was one of his companions
on the way home.
Look here, Bruce said the senior,
decidedly, you are a donkey! Why
can you not keep quiet, instead of
making your asinine remarks? l am
speaking to you now as a brother

point, and for a moment he wondered

GEN. LEE.

A letter from Richmond says: Gen.
Lee has not the remotest idea when he
will return to Washington. When he
left that city he Yves told that ne might
be asked to come back in day or two
but he has not received any message
from the War Department. Some OF
his friends think it very strange that he
has not been consulted with reference
to the plans for the Cuban campaign.

1t is know n that the south ern soldiers
would be much more willing to 60 to
Cuba if they had Fitz Lee to command
them than they would under any other
general in the country. The latest sp-
plicant for position on General Lees
staff is Mr.. Robert Lee Longstreet, g
son OF General James Longstreet, of

teers in Washington. He says he has
ready for service three battalions Of
four companies each, all Virginians
resident in Washington. Col. Pickett
also says he can get up 800 colored
troops in the national capital and have
them ready for service in g. short while.
The permission will not be granted just
now, as the Governor and General
Male think there are sufficient com
panie5 organized in the State to make
up the three regiments which Virginia
is expected to furnish.
A dispatch from Richmond says
Gen. Fi,z Lee is quoted as expressing
the opinion that the Spanish army in
Cuba will be forced to evacuate with
out the necessity OF the United States
sending troops there. The blockade
will prevent any provisions or other
aid from reaching the Spanish army on
the island. The Spanish feet, General
Lee says, is too far from the base OF
operations to reach there. It cannot
procure coal for steaming purposes, nor
can it obtain coal even in Cuba. The
coal regions of the island are 10 posses
sion of the Insurgents and cannot be
reached by the Spanish.
General Fiizhugh Lee has received
10 challenge to duel from Lieutenant
Ramon de Carranza, late naval sttache
Of the Spanish legation at Washington.
He knows nothing more about the mat
ter than what has been printed in the
newspapers. Should challenge come,
General Lee will ignore it. He has a
jgreater work to do than fighting duel
with Spaniard.
dispatch from Washington says: It is
stated tonight, on what seems to be excellent
authority, that the nomination of Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee as major general in the United
States army, with that OF Gen. Wheeler, Of
Alabama, and number of others, will be sent
to the Senate on Saturday next.
