There is cause for rejoicing upon the de-

with one OF these articles in the hair as It

them. Never was there a more striking ex-

line. seems to be the cry Of b manu-
f~acturers this autumn; whether 1t Is one
that will be responded TO by the multi

Picturesque Effects in Repped
Cloth and Velvet.
Besides these two stuffs there are
some finely-repped ribbed diagonal
cloths t. be seen, some covert coatings
with spots upon them-nOt particularly
attractive these-and oyer md above all,
there is velvet to he considered. Not all
of us can, however. consider costumes
entirely made Of velvet-the purse pre-
cludes. But there may be very pic

bination of cloth and velvet, velvet
being used to make Il coat with 4 fan

Graceful Possibilities
Cling to the Very Long Skirt.

Common sense and convenience may
dictate the ACCESSIBILITY Of wearing the
short skirt, I am afraid that most of us
who live in the world of dress and ap-
preciate its most graceful possibilities
will still cling to the skirt which is on
the ground, and, MS I have previously
observed, in dress II not In justice, there
should be n Law for the rich and one
for the poor, and those whose walk in
life is literally a walk in life should not
be tempted to ape the modes Of those
who drive through existence. There
was much to be said in favor Of the old
Sumptuary Laws, but even the most op-
tmistic visionary can never hope to see
these re-established, more is the pity!

Pleated Skirts Are Being
Favored by Some Authorities.

We nre. of course. much exercised in
our minds as to the shape of our skirts.
and many of the authorities are again
pushing forward for our consideration
the skirt which has pleats round the
waist; pretty enough these are too. SO
that there is not too much stuff in
volved in each pleat and the figure they
are destined to decorate be not Of too
liberal a proportion. Then, again, 1t is
simple enough to regulate those pleats
by putting them either On the hips or
at the back, so that they suit the indi-
vidual, while those fiat-pleated skirts.

pleats at the hem, may be Justly de-
scrbed as the most suitable style for

Birds Form a Popular
Trimming on Most Hats.

/ regret to observe that birds form a
very popular trimming on much of the
millinery, the entire bird being most
generally used, and one Of the most
striking examples Of the latest fashion
in hats is made Of pale blue silken bea-
yer, with the brim slightly turning up
all the way round, the sole decoration
being a huge pale blue bird on one side
OF b crown on the top. and another
beneath the brim at the back. And
many Of the white flat-crowned beaver
hats show large white birds upon them.
And again have I seen Q flower crown
of faded-looking chrysanthemums rest
Ing upon a brim made entirely of tiny
birds.

Fashions in Evening
Dresses Are Nebulous Just Now.

The fashions in evening dresses are
nebulous at the moment, but there
seems little doubt that the Empire style
OF dress will obtain much favor, while
we are once again to smile upon the
charms Of velvet and satin brocades
and plain satin. Lace is to play a very
important part on evening gowns, as
well ae on walking dresses, Irish lace
being used for the latter and laces Of all
descriptions for the former.
The popularity Of Irish lace in walk
ing costumes is extended now to the
hats. many of these being formed Of
thick, hairy beaver, trimmed with a
drapery Of lace or applied medallions of
lace.

Soft White Satin
the Newest Coat Lining.

The newest fashion Of lining fur
coats, by the way, is with soft white
satin, covered with killings Of chiffon.
This seems scarcely reasonable, but is
entirely pretty. An exquisite combina-
ton of color 1 saw in a coat the other
day, cream cloth. lavender velvet, ivory
lace, and chinchilla; mix with these, as
the cookery book would say, dozens of
tiny cream-colored silken tassels, and
serve to the lucky customer who can
afford to pay for It.

Theater Cloaks Are Garments
of Immediate Consideration.

Amongst the most important gar
ments for our Immediate consideration
is the theater cloak. We always rush
ut the theaters with fresh zest and ca
gerness during the early autumn, when
1t Is too 500 to think of fur wraps, and
those which did duty in June and July
are too disheveled to put in their ap-
pearance again. A very beautiful cloak
/ have seen made Of soft white Liberty
satin in the same shape as q Chinese
mandarin's coat, bordered with IN ap
pl!que Of black velvet and steel. And
the coats with the loose sleeves and
loose backs seem to be more popular
than the capcs; these latter, however,
are bound to appeal to us more con-
clusively again when the fur season is
upon us. for the long fur coat is so
dreadfully heavy and cumbersome for
evening wear, while the fur cape, al
though not SO becoming, is undoubted-
" more convenient.

The Origin of Baseball.

definitely known, but the first club or
ganized to play it was i'm New York
i'm 1915. Singularly enough, this club.
like the one first organized to promote
rowing, was called The knickerbacl-
or club" After 1851 other amateur
baseball clubs began to organize, in
Guiding the Atlantic, Mutual, Union,
etc. In 1857 a convention of delegates
from sixteen clubs in and around New
York and Brooklyn was held. About
ten years later at the annual conven-
ton of the National association in 1856,
202 clubs from seventeen states and

scented. The college baseball associa-

Amateur baseball throughout the
union was at its height In the years
1865. 1866 and 1867. Professional base
ball was recognized in 1865 and the
first games were played in 1863.
