Senator. Pettus is a rough diamond. He

while he does not scorn, but simply will

pear in every conceivable shape and
! length, with many modish kinks in cut
and trimming. Several of the new jack
cts show the influence of the "Aiglon'
coat that the divine Sarah launches into
favor this season. Topped by one of the
Jaunty little tri-cornes, they will special
ly appeal to the woman who has an eye
to the picturesque.
Sack coats too, there are on exhibition
that fairly bristle with manly. pocket
flaps. One of the very most fetching of
the models was a bright scarlet affair
built on the lines of the masculine frock-
coat With rounded corners. This fem
min version of the frock-coat was a
faithful opy in all the details, such as
revers, buttons and pockets.
It was worn with the plainest of black
cloth skirts that reached just half way
between the knee and ankle. A rough
rider hat of scarlet felt completed this
rather snowy outfit.
A serviceable hunting-gown made for
roughing it was built of blue and green
golf-cloth cut on the bias. The skirt
fastened at the,left side with large blue
pearl buttons. It fitted quite closely over
| the hips and the fullness of the back
was laid in a single box-pleat.
The jacket OF the plaid cloth was a
close fitting qbolero reaching just to the
top of the narrow ceinture. 1t fastened

Under. the jacket was worn a sleeveless
false 'front.' of soft green suede mounted
on green silk.
The approved head gear for these out
ing suits can only be had at gentlemen's
outfitters in Paris. Just let a Partisan
modiste get hold of one of these una
dorned rough-rider shapes and she can
consent to display it in the WIN
dow without dressing it up in a cocky
little bow and quilts. Nearly all the
swell hatters on the Boulevards now
have one or more windows devoted to
women's felt outing hats. OF course
rough-riders are in the majority. They
vary much in degrees of largeness and
in, tint, and there is even a wide range Of
choice in their varigated scarfs.
Stitched sTams of suede in soft green's

side are fetching beyond anything. Now

FOR NO MEN,.

Paris, Sept. THE coming fall house
parties furnish the important topics Of
conversation among the smart set just
now. None of the toilets included in the
fall wardrobes excite so much interest
as do the hunting gowns. They really
belong to the category of new departures,
for only within the last few years LAY
French women taken an active interest
in hunting.
Now, if you please, the up-to-date Rue
de la Paix tailor anticipates his orders
weeks ahead of time, and even during
sultry August exhibits a score or more
fetching models that are bound to APP
peal to the modern Diana. There is a
sort of practical dead-in-earnest air
about the majority of these suits that APP
pear both weather and brier proof.
Heavy cheviots and tweeds in dark
greens and browns with tiny lecks of
bright color introduced here and there,
are more often called into service for
the rough and ready hunting rigs. The
bit of. color thus introduced is taken as
the key note for the trimming. Among
the smooth materials favored, I noticed
cloth in a heavy quality that was minus
any suspicion of sheen, also whip-cord
and serge.
One unpretentious suit Of lark blue
serge boosted The virtue of being abso-
lutely waterproof. The skirt was made
with a single broad stitched box pleat
at the frVnt that served as '.tablier."
This was ornamented along the edges
with loops of black silk cord caught over
small black bone buttons. The fullness
at the back of the gown was laid in mar
row overlapping pleats. The corsage
was a box pleated blouse of the serge
caught loosely into a black patent leath-
er belt. Along the upper edges of the
pleats as far as. the bust line there was
a trimming of black cord and buttons.
This cord and button trimming was re-
peated at the bottom of the close fitting.
sleeves. A high linen collar and a black
satin tie completed this costume.

rarm RAISED II. own Mortgage.

A queer story is told by Lincoln
(Neb.) paper of how misfortune of its
own accord turned into good luck for a
Nebraska farmer. He was a man from
Missouri, who had invested his all in a
big wheat field in Buffalo county, and
then by means of mortgage on his
land he raised 500 with which to raise
wheat. 1t happened to be poor yeai
for wheat, and the stand was not very
good Concluding that it wasn't worth
harvesting, he pulled up his stakes and
went back to Missouri, leaving the farm
to fight the mortgage all by itself. The
farm was equal to the occasion. The
wheat ripened, fell down and deposited
the seed in the soil again. Next spring
the wheat began to grow Justify. Some
of the neighbors were honest enough
to write about it down to the fugitive
in Missouri, and he got interested
enough to come back and take look
Then he stopped and harvested his
voluntary crop. He sold 1t for enough

Of his debts and had a tidy little sur.
plus over, with which he moved his
family back, and now declares thers
