FADS AND FANCIES.
What Women Will Wear This Fall
and Winter.


Many of the kid gloves of the au-
tumn will match in pronounced color
ing the brilliant and snowy effects in
the seasons gowning. There will be
new dyes in odd copper-like shades, a
dark, very odd Egyptian red. a vivid
purple, several novel tints of green, in
GLIDING gray green bronze dyes, laurel
and stem green, mahogany, deep or
ange yellow, iris blue, blood orange and
new bright shade of tan.
Many afternoon house gowns will be
made of wool crepes, delaines, yelling
and albatross cloth in a creamy white,
this winter. White will be the fash
ionable for house wear as it has been
for outdoor wear this summer,
The high crown, quaint brim and
autumn and winter wear bespeak the

The bolero will be as much in vogue

silk frocks. For day and evening wear.

Silk Notwithstanding appears as a
finish on many of the latest French
and English tailor models for autumn
wear 1t takes the place of all other
simple decorative effects, rows of braid

A new veil for autumn wear is made
OF double width tulle, the lower half
which covers the face spotted. while
that which covers the hat is made plain.

NOT AFRAID OF RAIN.

The Newport woman is not afraid OF
rain. She has long rubber coat, and a
rubber golf hat, and she drives out IN
any weather. In the heaviest down
pour fashionable women may be seen
on the Bellevue avenue in rubber driv-
ing coats, driving at a good pace in an
open run about. The young contingent
among the cottagers have their coats,
hats, high rubber shoes, and delight TO
give rainy day fishing parties Women
who like to walk array themselves In
this manner, and start out without any
umbrellas.

FASHIONABLE INsoLENcE.

People Put Up With 1t Because They
Do Not Know How to Resent It.
There is nothing inherently wrong in
being fashionable; there is nothing ne
cessarlly vulgar in living and acting
modishly. But in the fashionables of the
world there frequently gets to be kind
of condescension of manner which is
not short of insolence And the que -r
thing about this fashionable insolence
is that those who are less fashionable
and move In quieter circles of society
put up with it because they do not
know how to resent it in kind. To re
sent it any other way would be taking
too much notice of it, and therefore the
kind of insolence to which / allude goes
unrebuked until 1t becomes a second
nature. 1t can hardly be said that these
are evidences of the grand manner
which is supposed to be cultivated in
high society; they are only insolent de-
lenses from or offenses toward
supposed interiors who have the tener-
ity to get betwixt the wind and high
nobility Our feelings lie very close to
the skin and the closer they lie the
thinner the skin. Therefore we cannot
help noticing, even though we make no
sign. The only satisfaction we can
nave When we Suffer from such lnso-
lence is the knowledge that those who
so insult the humble are likely at any
time to be so treated by some one .

Maurier had this in mind when he

One Bnre Spot.

A few years ago we called the atten-
tion Of the public to the fact that the
young emperor of Germany on his ac-
cessiOn to the imperial throne had re-
hgious census taken Of the city of Ber-
lin, in which he found that only about
8 per cent Of the communicates Of the
established church could be housed in
the churches Of that denomination on
a Sabbath day.
He and his court took alarm at this
terrible destitution of church accommo-
dations, the greater alarm because the
churches were scarcely half full, al
though they were utterly inadequate to
hold per cent Of the church members.
He commenced Immediately campaign
of church building in erecting chapels
in the suburbs Of the city to care for
the workingmen and their families,
believing that it was cheaper to house
them in churches than to have them in
anarchistic clubs, or, as he expressed it,
cheaper to build churches than prisons,
cheaper to save men than to hang them.
On a recent occasion it is said that a
German military officer uncovered his
head as the emperor and empress pass
ed him and stood at attention. A small
boy touched him and said: PUT on
your hat, sir, put on your hat. If the
empress discovers that bare spot she
will clap chapel on it. The humor-
ous side may impress the fact that the
emperor and empress were in search Of
every bare spot in Berlin as a possible
site for a new church. Current Litera-
ture.

Charles Sumner had but little sense
Of humor and was not at home in the
small cut and thrust skirmishes of gem
eral society. He was made for serious
issues and for great contests which
then lay unguessed before him. Of his
literalness some amusing anecdotes have
been told. At an official ball in Wash
ington he remarked to a young lady
who stood beside him: "We are fortu-
nate in having these places for standing
here. We shall see the first entrance of
the new English and French ministers
into Washington society"
The young girl replied: II am glad
to hear it. | like to see lions break the
ice. "
Sumner was silent for few minutes,
but presently said, "Miss ----, in the
country where lions live there is no
ice. "
| once invited Mr.. Sumner to meet

replied: II do not know that / wish to

Gossip.

Gossip! How she runs about on the
street; in every store, in all the
churches and societies she finds foot
hold. Gossip has made home hell
upon earth. Gossip has parted hus-
bands and wives. Gossip has black
ened and sullied the character of many
pure girls. Gossip has parted lovers
who would have been very happy if it
were not for gossip. One little indis-
cretion will cause gossip to arise with
new strength, and start out on her
mission. Her, did we say? We
ought not to, for we have our male
gossipers and, as a rule, they are ten
times more venomoas than the fe-
males. A good, healthy man gossiper

The war revenue stamps have de
veloped into very much of nui-
sance in connection with postal af-
fairs. Now that the stamps have
gotten into common use, and the
novelty has worn off, tendency to
carelessness in their use has de-
veloped, and scores of cases of the
non-delivery of mail are chargeable
to their use on letters. The 2 cent
revenue stamp would readily pass
for a 2 cent postage stamp at a
glance, as is demonstrated great
many times a week, but the postof-
flee clerks keep their eyes open to
spot the misuse of the stamps, and
all mail thus stamped is held for
postage.

A deserved tribute to Senator Faulkner.

The complimentary notice OF West
Virginia's just retired Senator, Hon.
G. ]. Faulkner, appended, is from last
Sundays Washington Post. West
Virginians generally will regret to
known that it is rumored in the east
that Senator Faulkner is to go to New
York to reside. The Post says:
The District of Columbia lost a
good friend when Charles j. Faulkner
OF West Virginia, went out of the
Senate yesterday. In the Senate he
has been prominent figure, not
through physical statue, because he is
not commanding in his personal ap-
pearance, but by reason Of his faculty
in debate and his thorough acquain-
tance with national questions, and
because his excellent judgment has
made him safe leader to follow. 1t
is pleasant to know Senator Faulkner's
abilities as lawyer-and he ranks
among the foremost in West Virginia
ARE SO universally known that as
he goes out of the senate he steps in
to very lucrative practice, having al
ready been retained for large interests
at sum which makes his senatorial
salary seem small. In private life he
will, therefore, like Conkling, begin to
make money, thing impossible while
he was in the senate. He likes to
live we'll, is delighted to entertain his
friends, and is especially happy when
he can gather those whose company is
congenial at his fine old home at Mar
tinSburg, w. Va. 1t is noble place,
this colonial residence, with walls
three feet thick and an old-fashioned
garden surrounded by high brick walls

beautiful roads over which Mr. Faux

petition to the King asking for woman's
right. They were very feminine righes indeed
that the Polish women wanted. They wanted
first, the King to decree that fathers should
not be allowed to decide upon the men their
daughters were to marry; secondly thew
wanted the King to make it binding upon
all men who went accounting that they should
ask the important question and have the
marriage solemnized all within year: third
ly, they declared that it was necessary to the
happiness of all concerned that the vo11ne
men and maidens of the kingdom should he

they begged the King to allow all COSMETICS
and everything that might be utilized to on

crease her charms without great expenditure
The Rainy Day Club was delighted with the
ideas and there was some thought of starting
