STRIPES AND CHECKS IN FAVOR.

A letter from London gives some in
teresting information Of the tailor gown
as IL will be worn this autumn by the
Englishwoman OF fashion in Nictorias

Stripes and checks are in high favor.

being the newest on fashions list. The
tailor-made reach only just below the
waist.
Smart is the only word which describes
the new, manly, striped cloths. "rrouser-
ings" is the term by which they are
known in London. They look especially
well for morning wear and are eminently
suitable for travelling.
A delightfully."- feminine and becoming
touch Is introduced by the addition of a
fancy collar. which can be composed of
good coarse lace. or. better still decora-
tive light brocade, fine in quality and de-

ONE W0MAk'S FAD.

Probably unique among the fads Of
women is that of Mrs. r. Lynn Of Sacra-
mento. Cal. Mrs. Lynn spenos much time
and hard work, TO say nothing OF large
sums OF money, in collecting pitchers.
one large room in her house is entirely
given up to the display Of the collection
which now numbers more than 1000 pieces
Among them are pitchers which are hun
dreds OF years old; pitchers from almost
every country I'm the world. and pitchers
representing almost all the many wares
which have been put on the market
Just at present Mrs. Lynn is collecting
pitchers made i'm various states of the
Union. IL is her ambition to have each
state and territory represented by
pitcher made within It's borders.
Many Of the specimens In her collection
are OF considerable historic interest and
almost every historic period in the devel-
opment OF the Pacific coast particularly
is marked by pitcher which played some
part in a. Thus there is an old white
stone pitcher from gold mining camp OF
20. and another was given 90 Mrs Lynn
by the first white settler in Sacramento
county.

Paris, Oct. f-Dame Fashion has
given the nuffy silk fall nantes the go-by
and has franRly declared herself In
favor of the long cloth coats for all
coming seasons. The smart women who
dine at the Exposition now come cloaked
invariably in one of these long coats
from under which trail the frlls and
ruches bordering the yet gauzy Casino
gown.
There Is really but little difference
between the plainest of coats designed
for morning wear and the most elabor-
ate OF them that are only 10 be worn
with evenig toilettes. They are cut on
the long flowing Empire lines and are

reach just halfway between the knee
and ankle.
one of the distinguishing features of
the evening coat is its elaborate cream
gulpure trimming. on the richest of these
garments, the guipure borders extend
more than half way up the coat and
at each seam the narrow stripes Of the
guipure follow the seam right up To the
top OF the Medicis collar

by the fact that Grunwalt, the celebrated
