The skirt is a nine gored one and is
hung upon a yoke of tucked white
panne velvet. The yoke is stitched
with black silk. Below it are three
bands of white cloth cut on the bias
and placed at frequent intervals
around the skirt. These bands are
stitched several times with black silk
and finished with tiny rosettes of white
velvet and black silk.
The bodice shows an Elton effect
made over shirt waist of white silk
The lower edge of the Elton is finished
with series of Grecian squares which
open over belt of black silk and are
trimmed with double rows of stitching.
Elongated Grecian squares are brought
across the opening toward the left side
and serve to fasten the Elton.
The sleeves show very pretty
slashed effect with an undercuff of
black gathered upon very narrow
band at the wrist.

The Hats of Winter.

They Are Made in as Many Materials
As the Gowns, With as Great
Variety in Trimming.
To try to enumerate the different
materials that are used in the making
Of hats this year would be like the
proverbial task of piling Pelion upon
Ossa, for really one could write book
on winter headgear containing only de-
scriptions of materials.
Commencing at the top and going
down, it will be found that velvet will
play the most important part in the
building of dress hats. This comes in
many guises, tucked velvet leading in
popular favor. Then there is an uncut
material called velvet antique but
it will hardly be available to the many
because of it's high price

Nothing could be prettier than
dress of cadet blue flannel made upon
q lining of the same color imitation
silk. The skirt is gored to fit the hips
without fulness, but flares very prettily
at the hem. Here, too, several rows of
green silk are stitched in smart effect
with a narrow space between. The
same trimming is used for the top OF
the skirt to outline a yoke.
For the bodice there is an underwaist
of green taffeta embroidered with blue
silk dots. Over this an Elton of the
flannel is cut and stitched with green
silk. A belt of blue velvet bordered
with bands of silk confines the waist.
The sleeves have only a slight full
ness at the shoulders and are finished
at the wrist with stitchings of green
silk.

Said a young and tactless husband
To his inexperienced wife;
If you would but give up leading
Such fashionable life.
Aad devote more time to cooking
How to mix and when to bake
Then, perhaps, you might make pastry
Such as mother used to make"
And the wife, resenting, answered
(For the worm win turn. you know: :
IF you would but give up horses,
And score Of clubs or so.a
So devote more time to business
When to buy and what to stake
Then perhaps, you might make money

A pretty effect is seen in pale rose
flannel figured with good sized polka
dots in castle green. This new shade
of green is very poetic tint and re-
sembles the dull greyish green of the
old world castles of which the poets
sing. An entire suit Of these flannel
materials is very popular and nothing
is more elegant than they when built
upon a handsome lining, with the in
dispensable tailor cut and finish.
There is dainty little vest Of old
rose taffeta set in the waist over
which open revers of silk stitched with
facing of the grey-green goods. Al
though the silk makes a very pretty
finish it is seldom adopted except by
women who have no regard for cost
or usefulness. flannel taking its place
as a more serviceable trimming.

1t is surprising to note the number
of light gowns that are being made up
for outdoor wear for smart women.
Designs for shopping and morning use
are developed in dark-hued materials,
when the pedestrienne skirt is not
adopted, but for afternoon wear the
light colored gown holds undisputed
sway.
Quite the most elegant thing mag
Unable is calling dress of white cloth
of the satin faced variety. 1t has
stitchings of black and trimmings of
velvet plainly distributed, but they
give it an air of costly simplicity COM
bined with luxurious comfort, unpre-
cedented in the history of tailor gowns

A Dress for Home Wear.
Something Simple and inexpensive in
Satin Faced Cashmere Stitched
With Silk.

The employment of cashmere for
house gowns Is by far the most strik-
ing feature in autumn modes, and so
much beauty and comfort are COM
bined in the material that one wonders
why the modistes have not adopted the
material more extensively before this.
The newest cashmeres have a satin
finish so closely resembling the expen-
sive cloth goods that one almost needs

Autumn dress in all of its depart
ments is a series of wonders this year
and the woman who does not dress in
q very original way can hold but little
sway in the world of fashion.
The sailor shirt waist is the newest
vagary and is certainly the most pop
ular form of bodice for outdoor wear
just now. 1t comes in the pretty new
Chudda flannels in all the shades of
the rainbow and their variations, and
can be worn with any separate skirt
with telling effect.

For the Autumn Girl.
She is Dressed as Fashiouably as a
: Maid Can Possible Be, But AL
ways in Perfect Taste.

The autumn school miss is dressed
as fashionably as it is possible for a
maid to be this year, and yet in the
designing Of her gown Dame Fashion
has cast aside her own capricious
whims and bowed to the dictates Of
comfort and common sense.
The soft, fine f1annels are used quite
extensively for the modelling of girls
gowns, and with the aid of a few rows
Of stitching are made into very chic
little frocks.

Something almost, if not just as
pretty as velvet is the tucked felts

MnbeI,s Little Sister.

When you have wanted little SIS
ter very, very badly and when the
little sister finally arrives, you are apt
to love her far better than anybody
else could possibly love her, even your
father and mother. Mabel was years
old before the long wished for little
sister arrived. The first rapture of real
ly having her was dampened somewhat
by the incessant crying of the baby.
For herself Mabel didn't mind. Any
thing the baby did was perfect, but,
oh, would the others, who couldn't, of
course, worship little sister" the way
Mabel did, get tired of it? One day
when the baby had almost screeched
her little head off, and all in that incon-
sequent way of babies, Mabel went to
her mother in the first lull and begged
absolution.
"You don't mind her crying SO very
much, do you, mamma?" she said ear
nestly. "She's so little, you know, and
she can't help it yet, really and truly
she can't. Please. please put up with
it for my sake. And, oh, mamma,
no matter how hard she cries you won't
now promise me you won't, mamma
send her away!'-New York Sun.

His Intimate Friends.

Father Darcy, an Irish wit, was once
invited by a man who was known as
an ignorant braggart to visit bew
and beautiful house which the person,
who had become wealthy suddenly,
had bought. With more than his usual
pomposity the host dragged the priest
over the place and eXpatiated on the
excellence of everything that he own
ed. Finally they reached the immense
library, where there were thousands of
volumes, all splendid in binding. The
host sank into one Of the great leather
covered chairs with sigh of content
ment and exclaimed:
"But. after all. father, what Is all
this luxury compared with my favor
ties here? The other rooms maybe give
pleasure to my wife and daughters.
but this is my place-right here among
these books, which are my friends.
And these here on the desk"-pointing
to score of fine volumes-"are what
l may call my most intimate friends"
Father Darcy got up and examined
one of them, when broad grin spread
over his good natured face.
"Well. it's glad am to see that you
| never cut your intimate friendsw he
exclaimed.

A Long Way Round.

What is the most roundabout Jour-
ney that the absence of proper steam
ship communication entails on the in
habitants of any country? Surely it
must be that described by our consul
at Loanda, Portuguese West Africa.
If one of the 5000 whites Of Angola or
LOO Europeans in the Kongo Inde-
pendent State, who so frequently need
change of climate, wishes to spend q
week or two in Cape Town-which
should lie, even by slow steamer, only
six days distant-he has to travel 5000
miles from Loanda to Madeira, catch
there Cape steamer and journey for
another fortnight the 4.SOO miles to
Cape Town. 1t thus needs fully a
months continuous travelling and 1000
miles of it to reach a point only 1000
miles from the starting point.-London

The Crescent.

The origin of the Turkish crescent Ia
lost in antiquity. AS the emblem Of
progress and increase it figures in the
warship Of Astarte, the chief goddess
of the Ph9nician Pantheon, who un-
der various names was adOred by ev-
cry Semitic race. 1t is not, therefore,
surprising that the crescent should be
the chosen emblem Of cOnquering and
spreading people. The hordes of Cen
ghiz Khan carried it on their banners
from the great wall of China to the
Indus and the Volga in the thirteenth
century, yet these were Mongols and
enemies Of the very people with whom
the crescent is generally associated.
The Ottoman Turks, who first got
lands in Asia as a reward for assisting
the Seljuks against the Mongols, seem
from the first arrival In these regions
to have displayed the well known SYM
Dol. 1t appeared on the banners Of the
janissaries of the Sultan Orkhan, in
the fourteenth century. and subse-
quently the crusades fixed 1t in the
eyes Of Christendom as the counter
emblem to the cross. 1t is sometimes
| held that the Turks borrowed the cres-
| cent from the Byzantine Greeks. but
this is evidently not the case. On the
contrary, the Greeks had probably al
an early period adopted it with .othel
religious symbols and ideas from the
east

Dear Editor:-I dined recently with
Mrs. Joseph Yates and seeing batch
of papers neatly suspended from cur
tain, 1 obtained permission to read
them. I found it to be an essay of her
daughter, Leah Yates, little girl OF
IA years, read before the Carey Liter
ary Society. regard it as quite meri-
torious in writing, spelling and concep-
tion for one so young, and cahdidly be-
lieve that when l came to Bellefontaine
81 years ago there were not a dozen
women in the county who could have
produced better article.
This is no reflection on the past, but
an evidence of the immense stride of
popular education and the capabilities OF
our worthy teachers. Where will
society be 81 years hence?
In the absence of liquor, war and
polygamy, the Sabbatical Millennium
will begin.
Lord, for these days we wait,
These days are in thy word foretold,
Fly, swifter sun and stars,
And bring this promised age of gold"
