 The letter concludes: You can imagine the pretty soft coolness of such a gown and the sensation it made in wilderness of color.'
 A brilliant touch of color is given these
 rather sombre gowns by the stock which is of bright blue or green, or even of scarlet. For the making of these stocks
 the newest colors are used, the fair pale shades of green and the startling greenish blues being very popular In reds, geran- | ium leads at present, it's ripe briliancy | making it favorite, as it gives to cos tunes the one touch they may lack.

until the show window of a fashionable

until the show window of a fashionable shop resembles a rainbow in hue.
 In justice to the styles it may be said that they are pretty. The trying habit back; the very difficult fitted hips and the narrow knees are all abandoned for sweeping skirt rather wide and quite long. In these new skirts there is suggestion of the erinoline, or at least of a return to the round skirt which may, before the first of the year, be thing that is again in vogue.
 We have, indeed, the round skirt now.
 I am describing a dress worn by Mrs. Potter Palmer, a few days ago. It was standard blue foulard, figured with many fancy stampings all in geometric designs. Circles, squares and triangles in cream covered its blue surface.
 The skirt the couturiere who made it in formed the writer, was cut perfectly round slightly longer in the back than in the front. The fitness from the waist to the hips was confined by many rows of shirring which were placed so close to each other that they made a yoke which almost a trimming for the skirt Be- low this shirred yoke the skirt fiared out a little and was trimmed around the foot with many ruffles, put on in curved shape, some draped high; and others extending to the foot of the skirt
 MRS. PALMER'S DRESS.
 The waist had shirred yoke and the tops of the sleeves were shirred. This gave a rathed pretty and decidedly juvenile ap- pearance to the waist though the front was brought down in long point in the middle of the belt. A broad girdle of arti- choke green satin confined the waist. The hat was a marvel in green and pink the two colors being cunningly mingled as in a flower garden.
 Mrs Edwin Gould who has been creating inr of S1 he youth, her good looks and her elegant gowns and who was recently presented at court, wore few days ago, dress which attracted attention. It was in black and

Modern Devices Bother Delegates

From the New York Sun.
 Philadelphia hotels have some new tangled conveniences that some of the delegates have trouble in getting along with. They are not new fangled to people accustomed to stopping at first class ho- tels but all delegates to national conven- tions are not accustomed to first class ho- tels For instance, at the Walton they have a telephone system If you want anything you turn handle and push a button It is teleseme and the first one seen in New York was ten years ago at the Imperial Hotel A delegate from South Dakota wanted to call a hallboy and he got his dates mixed. By vigorous and re- peated punches of the button he drew two gin rickeys, the house physician and the head laundress, the fire department and his mail At 2 o'clock this morning a South Carolina man pushed the button seven times on the straight whisky pin and drew an electrician At o'clock the roommate of the Hon. George Hiliard touched the gin rickey pin and got an ambulance.
 But it is not only this telephone machine that bothers the delegates Most of the hotels are fitted with electric lighs. A Monana man was in room this morning where an electric globe was tied by wire to the head of his bed. It had been placed there, of course, to enable him to read after he had retired. The Montana man wasn't used to electric lights. He could not find any way to stop this thing shining in his eyes. He tried hiding it under the bed. Finally he got up and put it away in the bureau drawer and then shut the drawer on it. The chambermaid found it there when she made up the room while the Montana man went down to the clerk and swore that he was going to change his hotel.

The Seeding Apple.

Among apple growers sharp con-
troversy has been carried on for years
as to whether 1t is better to improve
our list OF available varieties by i'm
porting from foreign countries or de-
veloping new Seeding apples. Dis
couragements are found on both sides
A very large proportion Of the apples
brought from foreign countries have
proved OF no value after having been
fruited IN this country for a dozen
years, while Of the Seeding o thou
sand varieties have proved not worth
the growing to every one that has
proved good enough to be propagated
by graftings.
: But, however discouraging the pro.
duction of seedlings may be, it is true
that all the progress that has been
made in apples, taking the world as a
whole, is through seedlings. We must
not forget that every good apple We
have now was one of multitude OF
seedlings. It is, of course, recognized
that the work Of producing new yarie-
ties in this way is very, very slow.
The man that plants 10, 900 seeds must
handle aud care for 10000 trees. H"
must not only take them out OF the
seeding rows and transplant them i'll
to ground with more space. but he
must sometimes replant them. Be-
sides that he must give them fair a.

oust be kept fertile and the trees

must be kept fertile and the trees
must be sprayed. The borers must
be kept off and the canker worms must
be prevented from stripping the trees
of their foliage. The grower may
have to wait ten years for results, as
it IS known fact that valuable va
ricty might be late in coming into bear
ing. After years of waiting for fruit he
NAV find that not one Of the 10000
trees is superior in anything to fruit
now being grown. -.
Such must be the experience OF
those that labo~ for the production Of
new and valuable varieties. The man
that begins the work knows that the
chances are that lie will never reap
tie benefit of his toll, for even If he
should develop fine variety, years
must e!apse before ho will be able to
get anything from it. Ho realizes
that lie will have to cut thousands of
sc;ons from that good tree and graft
other trees, and that he must then
wait few years more till they are ut
10 place or the market.
When all that is accomplished, he
still has the question Of advertising to
face, and this means expenditure OF
labor and cash. But, hard as the way
is, it is the surest way to get new
fruits. Instead of one man planting
10000 seeds, good many men should
each plant few seeds, and thus dis
tribute the burden over many shoul
