round and round the waist. There are
broad bands of the tweed extending over
the shoulders and caught with buttons in
the back
An extraordinary jacket for the Countess
Castelane is made of light weight broad
cloth in the new shade of cardinal. 1t Is
embroidered in geometrical figures of a
blue, just between the baby and turquoise
shades. The back fits snugly up to the
neck and terminates at the shoulders,
where 1t Is caught with four straps of
heavily broadcloth, which extend
over the shoulders and hold in place the
front which only reaches little above
the bust line.
The sides of the jacket are cat sss@a a
band about six inches wide. The fronts
are merely a continuation of the sides,
there being no seam in the entire jacket.
They are cut in two long points which ex-
tend a couple of inches below the warst
line The space made by the removal of
the goods inorder to produce the points IS
decorated by two straps Of the goods
stitched like those over the shoulders.
These are fastened with turquoise buttons
to the plain side of the jacket and to a
belt of gold and blue.
At the bust line the jacket Is fastened
by another strap of the goods and two but
tons. The jacket being caught at the bust
line, leaves a V-shaped neck, and the
points fall loosely down the front in the
same shape
The fall Elton is long in front and rather
sharp pointed; the back is cut off just to
the belt line sometimes showing the belt
and sometimes covering It, The front Of
the Elton extends far below the belt. and,
viewed from the front, looks exactly like
the point of a pen. The tabs meet all the
way down the front and are only an inch
or two wide at the point"
They are lining the little coats with .
material to match the underskirt, thus Civ
ing undeniable proof that 1t is a whole suit,
and not shirt waist and separate skirt.
FOR THE NECK.
There Is one article of dress that must
not be forgotten when you go to the shops
to make your fall purchases. This is the
necker.
More than ever this winter we will see
the fancy necker, and fashion kindly per-
mits us to let our fancy wander into the
past and bring forth bows and ribbons that
belonged to our grandma's, yes, and even
our great-grandma's early days.
The tucking and hemstitching, similar to
that over which our dear remembered pre-
decessors labored with untiring hands, lies
ready for us, on moments notice, to
make into dainty neckers which must have
taken them many days to prepare.

There is the rever, which, worn with q
plain shirt waist, will produce a most
charming ERECT These revers are made

made garment. This almost meets the
point of the rever which tapers from the
shoulders to the waist line and disappears
in the belt. These are made of lawn,
tucked in groups and combined with inser-
ton of either a fine Embroidery or lace
Around the edge Is edded dainty lace
ruffle which may be either narrow or wide,
as the fancy of the wearer dictates.
One of the most striking designs yet In
trodueed to the pretty shopper is on the
same order of decoration, except that in
stead of one long rever there are numbers
of small points of the lace and tucked ma
terial overlapping one another and disap-
pearlng in the tiniest triangular piece at
the waist line. ;
To wear with the Elton jacket fronts have
been provided. The collar is moderately
high, but very soft. From the back, where
the collar fastens, two ties are brought
around to the front the ends are elabo-
rately tucked and edged with lace. These
are tied in loose bow, fastened with a
pin, which, by the way, must be an orna-
ment containing the possessor's BIRTH
stone; and from the front the lacy ends
mingle with the front, which is composed
of nothing but lace, ruf1ed full The lace
must not be over two and a half inches
wide, but the ruffles lap at least half an
inch, and, when gathered into a blouse at
the waist line, we have an almost exact re-
production of the ruffied front worn by the
Louises.
There has been introduced by the smart
set tie of soft china silk This tie Is
yard and half long, and can be made by
an ingenious girl in less than half an hour.
The silk is doubled and then cut on the
cfp oh N ctriDS of a ward and half
long and four inches wide. The one side
which has been cut Is then sewed up, the
strip turned the two edges gathered and
drawn into as little space as possible, then
to the ends of this tie two silky tassels are
added. One may, IL she choose, use two tas-
sells on each end. The tie is made into
loose knot after being brought around the
stock, and the ends fall nearly to the waist
line.
Very natty little bows are the taffeta ties

four bands of black silk braiding.
From underneath the sleeve came q
pulled undersleeve of white taffeta stiffened
with some soft material. You could plain
ly see that the taffeta was held In shape
by a lining, although 1t was by no means
stiff In appearance. The undersleeve was

wrist Below the wrist there was a bell of
cashmere which reached fairly over the
hand.
LONG SLEEVES.
One thing is certain-they will wear very
long sleeves. You can scarcely have a
sleeve that Is too long. From underneath
the cashmere falls a ruff1e of lace, with
which 1t Is fashionable to finish cuff, and
from out the deths of big cloth bell come
the hands, made twice as graceful by be-
ing thus clothed.
There is another sleeve, one which bells
at the elbow and at the wrist has a turn
over cuff. Between elbow and wrist there
is an undersleeve of soft light material.
These sleeves, the modiste will tell you,
are the sensation of the fall, and all the
new gowns will show novelties Of this kind
These sleeves are odd ~. there comes
another so strangely beautiful In its soft
lace and silk that 1t might be a dream Of
gownng. 1t Is made of the softest of pale,
almost lesh-colored pink taffeta. From the
shoulder to the elbow 1t Is the ever grace
full musketaire, and down the side seam is
run fine trimming of pearls and pale blue
and pink beads. At the elbow the silk of
the musketaire falls in a ruffle about an
inch and half wide, on the edge of which
is . cream lace; below this ruffie puff not
more than an inch wide begins the under
sleeve. This undersleeve is made Of small
puffs of the silk alternately set with a
ruffie Of the lace.
About the top of each of these puffings
runs a row of the beading. The silk puffings
are fitted to a lining and preserve the

the very best authorities, is coming out in
society again. It is we'll known that, since
the death of her son, eight years ago, she
has mingled as little as possible with the
gay world, much preferring the seclusion
of Sandringham and the shades of York
Cottage. Though still a beautiful woman,
she has dressed like an elderly one and
nothing but her exquisite figure has saved
her.
This year Her Royal Highness has placed
quite large order with French dress
making house, and the needles are flying
husily upon her work.
While there were few suits in her or
der, the request was almost entirely for
shirt waists, as all waists now are called.
And such lovely waists they were. One of
these was a decided blouse with decided
bag all around the belt. This particular
waist was of blue satin in the new light
weight. It was scarcely heavier than taft
feta and looked quite like glossy silk The
entire surface of the waist was striped
with narrow bands of white satin ribbon.
looking for all the world like blue and
quite a distinctive thing in white satin
with border of plated chiffon. All around
the yoke, front and back, there was APP
plique of brilliant velvet cherries with
green leaves. The belt and cuffs were of
white satin and there was a white attn
stock.
Another one of the waists intended for
this same royal destination was of Vic
torian grey poplin, stitched with dark grey
silk. The stitching was put on in groups
of six rows each, reaching from the yoke
to the belt. The yoke was quite a remark
able thing, being a sailor collar slashed in
points. There were seven points in front
and seven in the back little edge of
lace bordered all the points.
A HANDSOME WAIST.
A natty waist, which was undoubtedly
intended as al tramping Jacket. Is of pearl
grey tweed. There is a square yoke of plaid

checks. Stripes of the same tweed extend

Yen, proprietor of restaurant, and near

before the astonished policemen could an

excited ongolians they were making an
arrest and not seeking to avenge afro
cities committed in China.
As the three officers approached Yen's
place a cry of alarm was raised. From
every direction every doorway swarmed
with Cinnamon, who, as they afterward
explained, were answering the alarm re-

they had been tricked and an angry and

Cost of Tea Advancing.

New York, July 23.-The trouble in
China is already influencing the wholesale
tea market of this country. Within the
last few days the price of tea has ad-
vanced from i to 2 cents a pound and still
further increases seem likely inasmuch as
with the continuance of the difficulties in
China it will cost more to import When
the outbreak began it was computed that
there were about 2sOOO,OO0 pounds of tea
in this country. That stock is being rap
idly bought up by retailers, and should the
hostilities extend to the tea growing dis

ducing centers of CHINA, however, have
