outside of the rolled collar is black satin
and the facing and lining is cream COL
ored. Below the bolero is finished with
q white satin bias, as are also the large
revers of ochre guipure lined with cream
colored satin. The closing is effected by
means of a rich gold button studded
with turquoises and diamonds. The sleeves
Of striped material like the Jacket. are
comfortably tight and finish Just below

coming complement to the toilette, and
is made CT folds of grey cloth edged with
a narrow bias Of cream-colored silk and
caught with two7handsome buckles of cut
steel. A black and white feather aigrette
is placed at the left side.
In another handsome toilette designed
for heavier winter wear the bolero
shows still another innovation in the
shape of narrow. rounded straps gradual
ted in length and extending along the
back and sides from the skirt band to
the rounded Bolero and fastened to the
latter by small gilt button. The Bofe-

sealskin. Two gilt buttons fasten the

of sealskin forming point over the

of stitched strappings like those on the

For LunchcOns,

For any luncheon, however elaborate or
however simple, one begins to set the ia
BILE in the same way, says ''Harper's Ba
Ear" There must always be flowers or
fruits, or sometimes both, in the middle
Of the table. These differ. naturally
with the season. The flowers may be ar
ranged in fishbowl; and just here 1t
may be well to say that there are very
few things more charming and effective
for flowers on a table than one of these
bowls. They take up and reflect the light
in the most fascinating way, and show
the stems of the flowers. One Other
point to recommend them lies in the fact
of their being low enough not to inter-
rupt the gaze across the table. AT many
large luncheons it is impossible to ex-
change word with ones opposite neigh
Dor because of the high flowers between.
Many persons use silver on the table for
flowers, but men with very esthetic ma
lures are apt to cry out. Still, silver
bowl filled with mullen leaves, covered
with dew, makes a charming study in COL
or. and In country houses 1t is often used
Silver vases and pitchers for flowers ap-
pear on most Of the fashionable tables. al
though lovers OF the beautiful insist on
crystal, fine pieces of Venetian glass, or
even on quaint bits OF pottery for their
flowers.
People with little to choose from, there
fore, need not bemoan a fate which COM
pels them to use glass and not silver. A
fishbowl is preferred by some people who
have plenty of silver to choose from. Ten
cent vases. holding ferns and wild flowers,
are chosen by some women in the country,
rich enough to have anything they want,
but preferring the simplicitics and the ap-
propriate vt all co1oD.

The Letter of the Law.

It is a little singular that Germany ia
the only country in Christendom that has
attempted to settle the right Of husband
to open letters addressed to his wife. In
The new code of civil law that holds good
for the whole of the German Empire the
husbands right is clearly defined in cases
of difference of opinion, and allows him
to decide on matters affecting what is
termed their mutual conjugal living to-
gether." such as the arrangements for the
household, the scale of living, number OF
domestic servants, etc., and also as to
how far the husband and the wife are to
mutually support one another where as
sistance is required. but, as letter ad-
dressed to a mans wife Is held not to az
feet their mutual life. he is forbidden to
omen 1t contrary to his wife's wishes. This
is somewhat strange, for one can imagine
many cases where such letters would
most materially affect their mutual con-
iugal life" How is 1t that SO many di
vorce cases are brought into court
through discriminating letters having been
found either to or from one of the guilty
parties? How is it that men are SO fond
Of giving their business or their club ad-
dress instead of their private address,?
Women. too. have ways of receiving let
ters and answering them secure from
marital observation and criticism. For
INV own part" as one woman remarks very
sens,bly. 81 think no husband or wife
shouId send or receive any missive that
they cannot show to one another. There
can be no real love or happiness without
pprfect confidence. but II you want to en-
bark in a thousand 'ihtrigues-well. that,
of course is another matter! The married
man or woman who wishes to engage in
a secret correspondence with member
of the opposite sex would do we'll to take
every precaution against being found
out for the discovery of such falsehood,
baseness. and treathery would destroy
their chance of matrimonial love and hap
piness forever"

PARIS, Oct. S.-The longevity of the
bolero is phenomenal. In spite Of new de-
vices constantly brought forth by the
leading dressmakers, in spite Of the grow
ing popularity of the short Jacket that ex-
tends below the waistline. the bolero ever
returns in great variety of form. material,
and trimming, but still graceful and be-
coming bolero, whose merits women are
loath to forget. A charming toilette fresh
from Roberts famous establishment is
commendable for various novel features
besides the little bolero which forms the
browning characteristic. The combination
of different shades OF tan and grey with
white and black is particularly attractive.
The skirt is of silver grey cloth, cut in
bell shape and very close fitting. with a
bias seam at the back. There is no lining
but separate foundation skirt of taffeta
of the same shade of grey and finished
with a pleated founce around the hem. AT
the left side is a deep pointed insertion Of
ochre guipure appliqued with narrow
bias fold of mauve colored satin. The
cloth is cut away from underneath, show
ing the grey taffeta of the underskirt be-
tween the meshes Of the lace.
The bodice has tight-ftting lining of
gray taffeta. over which cchre guipure is
bioused loosely and caught at the waist
line in a belt of turquoise blue satin
narrow vest of tucked white taffeta is
inserted and matches the stock collar of
the same material The guipure sleeves
are made rather baggy over tight grey
taffeta lining and finish over the wrist
with deep bell cuff The short bolero
is of cream colored taffeta covered with

large picture hat of brown cloth. dec
Grated profusely with choux OF turquoise
satin ribbon and shaded brown and tan
plumes, makes the toilette particularly
suitable for young lady.
Furs promise to be extensively worn
this winter and beautiful models are al
ready exhibited. The empire form seems
prevalent and one coat of this description
Just advanced by a prominent furrier Is
creating considerable attention. 1t is
made entirely Of tailless ermine and has
a huge collar and revers of sable, while
a wide serpentine ruffle extends to the
ground. The bell sleeves of ermine have
deep turned back cuff Of sable. 1t is a
princeIy garment, unique in style and COM
position and likewise in price. Fur will
also be as much used in the millinery field
as it was last year, chinchilla and sable
taking the lead. Natty little toques Of
folded velvet or panne or new long nap
ped plush of any desirable shade are en-
circled with wide band of fur forming
the brim. and frequently a fancy quill or
two with large buckle of cut steel COM
pletes the effect.
A few OF the latest evening gowns indi-
cate that fur trimmings are in vogue for
evening wear also. Blue fox, ermine, and
sable form most effective frame to a
decollette neck. One model is particular
" enchanting. 1t is a princess of mauve
panne with arabesques Of gold embroidery
down the front. and the low decolletage as
well as the closing along the left side and
the hem edged with roll of blue fox.

Why Women Cable.

Many women are justly accused Of talk
ing nonsense and talking too much CT 1t.
But men are more or less respons BILE for
this. The average man expects all women
to entertain him. In his opinion that is
what they are here for, and he considers
that when he shows up at a party or
takes a girl to the play he has done his
part. He has pushed the button and she
must do the rest. Just watch the next
couple you see out together-at dinner.
OF between the acts at the theater-any-
where. 1t is always the same. The girl
is doing the talking and making the ef-
fort to entertain. the man. and she knows
she is playing to the biggest s-rt Of luck
il he throws in a side remark every now
and then to help her along. There are
plenty of men in society with whom con-
versation is practically a monclogua on
the woman's part, and il the man thinks
that his awful silence is fascinating or i'm
pressive he is making the mistake CT his
life The girl is doing drudgery. and she
knows it. and she is wondering IL any
other kind of q bore Ia such a bore as the
man who sits up like(a knot on log and

THE WOMAN BoARDER.
Many Landlndies Do Not Want Her
Around.

Single wcmcn, whether widows or

prejudice of the majority of landladies

young woman in neighboring city VINO
undertook to get at the root of this pref
udicc the other day, and started out on
an exploring expedition. And this is the
reception she had, as related by hers If:
THE advertisements we're the first

accord all those who had apartments to
let announced that they took gentlemen
only.
This qualification was SO general that

The woman of the house regarded m,
scornfully.

the reason for this prejudice against

I'VE don't take ladies' she responded,
doggedly. They quarrel about the sh cts
and pillow cases and find fault with the
towels and the way the room is swept.
There's a clearinghouse next door;
perhaps they'll take you there
Shades Of my grandmother! Perhaps
they would take me! AS though l were

But they wouldn't take me next door

tues to the list 1 had reeled off before and
showed letters from my former hostess.
There's the third floor front you could
have If you were only man. said this
landlady, refiectively. We don't care to
take ladies'; they make trouble in tine
house. We don't seem to be able to make
them comfortable, and one urges the other
on to complain
The next morning when ! started out
to renew my search / was fortified with
certificates of baptism and confirmation,
and a letter from the rector Of the church

the domieile of a weary-looking person,
who acknowledged desperately that she
took her own sex to board. Then, such is
the contrariness Of human nature. l in
stantly took a loathing TO the place and
decided 1t must be very second rate. in

Now the question arises, are women so
intensely disagreeable in other peoples
houses as all this. and, If SO. why? II the
dust lies undis,urbed for weeks in the cor
ners of room the feminine ledger will
naturally call attention to It. But need
she do so in an imperious manner?
