GILT on gowns on coats and hats and
bonnets is the conspicuous feature of the
fall fashions and appears in every avail
able form. 4 new hat of open-work che
nile is turned up the side and caught by
= black taffeta bow with large gilt
buckle. from which two ostrich pltimes
sweep to the back. \ band of gilt braid is
drawn around the crown and tied in
careless knot directly at the back.
The use of chiffon. choux, loops and soft
draperies on hats of velvet. panne. fur
trimmed satin, taffeta, etc. will continue
in marked favor. Court modistes are using
black chiffon, crepe lisse and mousseline
de sole decoration on the "half-mourning"
garments and headwear they have prepared
for this season for a very large portion of
their most important clientele.
Cut-steef ornaments will probably lead
in millinery jewelry. In this dsputing the
favor long maintained by rhinestone orna-
ments or at least dividing fancy with the
crystal. The novelty in the line, however,
is seen in the jewelry copied after the an
cient Egyptian iewelry. as found in treas

polished and cut steel. Much use will be
made Of long. narrow buckles.
Circular nounces which are the same
width all around are applied on many of
the cloth gowns. They are not very cir
cular, but flare gracefully around the lower
edge and give a stylish effect to skirts
which would otherwise seem quite plain.
Panel skirts are very popular. one of the
recent designs showing a front panel and

The waist Is also trimmed with velvet, the
whole costume being exceedingly smart.
White panne, covered with black open
work chenille or lace, Is used for toque and

corners. trimmed with a stifi black velvet
bow and dull gold buckle, are sure to ap-
peal to the autumn girl. White felts,

are especially stunning for the autumn, and

fetal autumn leaves and berries, too. are
much more beautiful than ever before and
are literally used.

No wonder the young girls interest was
aroused: and when, in the winter following
they met again in the lovers land OF Italy,
what wonder that the wooing proceeded
apacc. and that the foundation of one Of
the most beautiful married lives in history
was laid?
No man ever had more romantic wooing
than Richard Brinsley Sheridan when he
determined to make Miss Lirley, the beau
tiful Nightingale of Eath,' his wife. She
counted her suitors by the score but Sheri-
dams romantic devotion won her heart. He
disguised himself as a coachman merely to
have the pleasure of driving her: he es-
corted her TO a French nUnnery to rescue
her from the prosecutions OF an odious
wooer. with whom he fought two duels On
her behalf. And this was but a type of the
chivalrous adventures which ultimately en-
abled him to lead her to the altar In April.
1773.
His second wooing was Just as persistent.
When Sheridan first met the beautiful
daughter Of the Dean OF Winchester he was
a middie-aged man. and anything but per-
sonaily fascinating. Miss Ogle could not
bear the sight of him, and called him ''an
odious creature" and "a ridiculous fright"
but within a short time she was glad to
give her hand and heart to the most fas-
cinating man in England. and husband Of
whom any girl might be proud"
1t was Mrs. Lewis rather than Disraeli
who did the wooing, for she made no con-
cealment of her admiration for the rising
statesman. and pursued him with attentions
which in a younger woman would have been
indecent. And yet the "dowdy widow
succeeded where mere youth and beauty
would certainly have failed. for who can
resist the worship Of a woman? And she
succeeded by d lifelong devotion in winning
her husbands heart as well as his graft.

much concerned about your views as 1 am
about the bachelor girl herself
Here is a bit of advice TO the bachelor
girl. She may not heed it. but l sincerely
hope she WILL Night work never pays. EX-
ira tucks and rufies on your gown will
fail to be becoming Il you have sacrificed
the color in your checks and the brightness
of your eyes to the labor required TO create
them. You will be a thousand times more
charming in a palmer gown If your face is
fresh and your manner animated.
1t is the usual cry of the busy woman. Il
have no time to read In books there is
the best sort of recreation. One may be
too tired to dress oneself in ones best gown
and go visiting folks. but one can always
slip into a comfortable negiigee, take up an
interesting book and become acquainted
with the most entertaining kind of people,
for the bookmaker seldom introduces us to
any other sort.
I know that every girl dotes on frills and
nuffs but 1t is far better TO put the thought
of these delightful things aside until there
is time besides that stolen from resting
hours to fashion them. This advice has
beer given many times before, know, and
it probably sounds a bit rreachy, but once
tried it will be found rather good.
The bachelor girl should be careful to keep
her old friends, but she should exert some
effort TO make new ones. 1t broadens one
life to come in contact with people of varf-
Gus views, and often our best opportunities
come to us through the friends We make.
No matter how accom- lished q man or
woman may be the world seldom goes forth
TO seek them. Their discovery rests
more than one-half with themselves. The
singers voice would never have been dis
covered had he not sung in the hearing
of the appreciative disc )verer." The girl
artists genius would never have been found
out had she painted her pictures and made
no effort to have them hung anywhere 9TH
than on the walls of Ter own room. oh.
yes, lots of us sit down and blame fate for
passing us by when the whole trouble lies
in our mistaken belief that We do not need
to make friends, that 1t Is not worth while
TO meet folks at least aif way. Whatever
your work, my dear bachelor girl, do not

greatest geniuses have looked to them for

music. their stories AMI their poems. And
IL ycu are a bachelor girl with no special
talent but "just good business turn OF

will take an interest IN your business

THE WINTER PLANS OF

A Lot of Work Mapped Out.

will do.
These bachelor girls are not specially re-

them scattered through all big cities, and
all more or less remarkable. TO my think

and study all day, get home late in the
evening, cook his supper. maybe accept
an invitation to 20 to the theater, do his
own mending and make all his own clothes.
And yet this is what my bachelor girls. and
dozens more that you could easily find, are

It is just now, when vacations are at an
end, that the busy and ambitious young
woman, short of purse but not Of deter

battle. A thousand good wishes we send
TO her. and a loving thought. too. There
are carping critics. know. who say that
she is "out Of her sphere, had better stay

problem? Well, Just wait; the bachelor girl
will, but she Is wise to bide her time. And
besides that, many times the bachelor girl

she bears her burdens alone, refusing to

The skirts Of some OF the smart autumn
dresses Of light wool are shirred several
inches below the belt. after being slightly
gored on the front and side breadths. The
back breadths are box-plaited, and the low
er part o. the skirt is laid In horizontal
tucks of graduated width, beginning with
ore about two and one-half inches wide
at the extreme edge of the skirt. Some
times the tucks are stitched in with silk
of color contrasting with that which
forms the skirt, and very often there is
