plated hounces Of vol adorn the skirt; the
waist shows elbow sleeves and long pointed
yoke made of tucked blue silk muslin and
white lace. Hatless, and carrying small
tuft of white roses in her white-gloved
hands, this figure is quite an ideal concep-
ton of what a maid of honor should be.
The Going Away Costume.

there comes the rub, for the bride wishes

answered, for one bride at least, by the pic

box plat, strapped down in the region of

A Smart Matinee.
Not less interesting than the sketch of the
going-away dress is the smart neGigee for
wear the first time the newly made wife or
naments the post behind the coffee pot. A
tinted, satin-faced French house cloth
is the proper choice for this honeymoon
costume. when all the world Is rose tinted
to the wearer's eyes. The base of the deep
fiounce that decks the bottom of the break
fast dress is treated with white silk en-
bl oidery laid directly on the tinted cloth
and a dull red velvet ribbon runs through
the casing at the top of the hounce. Tucks
and embroidered frills, with straps end
rCSettes and streamers of the red velvet
ribbon, suitably ornament the body of the
charming robe. MARY DEAN.

For Independent Brides.

AS all these beautiful stuffs come done
up in a box, with carefully designed plates
to follow in their make up, a bride to be
is relieved of one-half of her RESPONSE
bility in choosing goods and deciding the
general style of her gown and its trim
mings. For brides who are more independ-
ent and prefer to get their ideas out of
their own heads it is necessary perhaps to
issue caution against reckless selection
of figured brocaded silk and satin, against
stiff satin and most especially against vel
vet. If a tall blonde girl has a goodly
sum to invest on this most important toilet
of her life let her choose white panne. N
Paris it is considered the very elimination
of sartorial art to be welded in pastel
white panne with fine organisations of sill
yer lace following the seams of the skirt,
and Towering out al the foot in elaborate
scrolls and conventionalized vine patterns.
The waist of such frock would have a
very short bolero jacket of neavy silver
lace, fastening on the left breast with
rosette of silvered chiffon from which
would flow to the foot couple of long
chiffon streamers, weighted at the ends
with sprays of orange blossoms and silver
leaves.
For n November Event.
This typifies the extreme of fashion. while
the more sensible and conventional idea is
illustrated in a sketch from a charming
original designed for a November bride

train of this and the body as well, but, su-

Dressy Black Gown.

A very pretty black crepe de chine gown
was made with flounce at the hem. This
hem had a scallop of glace at the edge
united by black silk herringboning, new
and fashionable arrangement. The seal
lop was introduced also on to the bodice of
the Dress being carried down the front,
which opened over some pretty tuckings
edged with gold lace, revealing a soft vest
in the immediate front. The sleeves were

Lons-stemmed Roses on Hats.

Some novelty hats are being trimmed with
two immense roses and nothing else. These
roses have stalks about twenty inches long.
The flowers are placed in the front Of the
hat, either on one side or in the center. and
then the long stalks are arranged round the
crown like ribbons. The effect is certainly
very charming.

The designation Of the day for hold

Congress. The first act passed by it
relating to that subject was in 1892. 1t
provided that presidential electors
should be appointed within thirty-four
days before the first Wednesday in De
cember." This left each State free to
select a day to suit itself within those
limits. Pennsylvania chose electors on
the last Friday in October. Other States
elected theirs on different days be-

and did not try to choose the most direct

that the hOrseless carriage could be
used satisfactorily on the dirt roads of
the country, and that it could be de-
pended on to climb hills and to wheel
through deep mud.
The automobile in which the long
drive was made is of phaeton pattern

world the load Of piles ever turns a cor

1t is not an uncommon sight to see
a knot of people collected at a street
corner watching the approach and skill
full turning of the long wagon with its
load Of three or four piles. Turning
the corner and entering another street
at right angles is such a difficult feat
that as a rule the pines are taken
through the streets at night when there
is no traffic to interfere. Recently
however loads of them have been
driven through the heart Of the city in
the daytime. Naturally during business
hours taking them through the streets
is attended with far greater difficulties
than at night. When corners are turned
the long poles, as they are transported
in an angling direction from one street
to another, practically blockade traffic.

the only accident was the puncturing OF

ton to 90 only as far as Springfield, but
when he heard of the international race
meet in Chicago he went on to that city,
where he took medals in the three
classes in which he competed.
