You have already seen the fan tailor
made, with its Elton jacket or its fetch
ing little bolero but the afternoon or the
evening toilette with this same becoming
little coat is real novelty. The after
noon toilette we illustrate this week is
an example Of this style; also, of the
mingling Of silk and velvet which is fash
ions whim for the coming season. For
the elegant walking dress other than the
Jacket and skirt, We are now committed
70 the siIin-tight gown. This class Of
tailor-made must fit without a wrinkle
until the knee is reached. From that
point It flares decidedly, though this fact
does not make its wearer any more COM
Portable. All this is in direct contradic-
usn to all we have been led to expect
and shows that even the great dress
makers do not make the styles. They
create models, but women adopt them, or
reject them, as they see IT. 1t is a pref
ty safe thing to say in this connection

forms which they are thoroughly re-
solved TO display Our back view TINS
weed. shows the correct outlines for this
class Of costumes. In the case OF the
two-piece gown the Joining between waist
and skirt is made as inconsplcuous as
possible. For instance, have come upon
q black cloth made very long ana very
tight with palm design In black lace
inserted at intervals upon it, with the
outline strongly marked with two waving
lines Of chenille. The dress is lined with
bright pastel blue silk, which shines dis
creeuy through the meshes Of the black
lace. II is made as a simple princess
robe. which means that the skirt fastens
above the bodice as invisibly as the mar
rOw-stitched band will allow. The collar
and small round yoke is Of pastel blue
velvet dotted with tiny spots of chenille
Of a darker shade.
To return to the bolero. ] have been
shown a pretty white cloth dress, made
with two narrow flounces enforme at the
bottom Of the skirt and strappings of
chamois cloth. The bolero bodice is cut
in the form Of genteman's dress vest,
and trimmed with a double row of cha
mois strapping around the opening, and
descending to the end of the bolero in
front. and continued down the skirt The
bolero fastens on one side with two large
channels buttons. The chemisette worn
with this costume is in pale-blue NOUS

large bow tied beneath the chin is Of the

WEATHER BROTHERHOOD.
City DWellcrs Take Great JOY in ahe
Bulletins in the Neighbour
hood Post Office.

a ,ity dWeller who had read in the
papers about how in distant parts of
the country, where there were no daily
papers, the government weather re-
port was posted Gaily in the local post
Office. where the farmers and others
interested could see it, was himself in
tercsted to discover that that same
weather report. or the one for this 10
cdlity is put up in the post Office here;
he has found it regularly in the'branch
post office wherc he goes to buy his
lamps and mail his letters, says the
New York Sun.
There is very little farming land
around the branch post office, the land
thereabouts being devoted principally
20 bricks and mortar; but the city
dweller who reads the notice there feels
himself thereby Put quick in touch, as
the saying goes, with the agricultural
interest, and he feels himself impelled,
if not to go and get in his hay at least
to get out his goloshes.
Though he may already haYe read it
in his evening ptper the weather report
seen here appeals to him with a new
and novel interest As he turns in here
from a busy tboroughfare and walks
up to the bulletin. he can't help think
ing of the man in cowhde boots and
SLOUGH hat stepping. at that very mo-
ment perhaps, from a muddy country
road into some far-distant post Office
to sean the bulletin there. And this
sort of thing makes him feel that we're
all citizens alike in this big outfit; and
that, while the government may not

actly right, there's nothing mean or
skinny about the distribution of the

CARTRIDGE BEER MUGS.
Used in the Late War to Re
the Real Thing.

OF all the war relics which have
dcIugcd the country. the new cartridge
beer mugs are the most unique. \ fash
iorable New York ieweler has discov-
cred that large cartridges lend them
selves to this purpose, and has prepared
several attractive designs, says the New
York World.
The cartridge beer mugs are made
from empty siX-pound shells. The cart
ridges are a little more than three
inches in diameter at the base and
slightly narrower at the top. where the
shell was placed. The opening is large
enough to drink from comfortably. It
is the same size as the hole made by
these six-pounder shot in the sides of
the Spanish warships.
The cartridges are made of brass in
order that they will stand the strain
put upon them at the moment of eNplo-
sion without bursting. This quality OF
brass will take higher polish than
poorer grades Of The metal When pol
ished, the mugs glsten like gold.
Some of the new mugs are arranged
with detachable handles. so that the
cartridge may be used as vase The
only other decoration is a silver band
on the front setting forth the history
of the cartridge. The inscription
records the name of the ship
