fluffy gown of the time is hands ONE
affair of gray broadcloth trimmed
with black French applique, black
velvet and fur. 1t is a loose sack coat
reaching nearly to the bottom of the
gown. Two rows of black velvet
around the bottom, lace applique
above with two rows of velvet again
above this. The wide. bell-shaped
sleeves have velvet at the outer edges,
with lace above and finished above
that with the velvet. a deep turn
over collar of sable, with the lace APP
plique forming a yoke effect below.
Rosette of black velvet in front and
long streamers to the bottom of the
coat.
Some of the crepe de chine gowns
are charming when trimmed with vel
vet ribbon of the same color This is
a new idea for this material and a
very popular one, especially for young
women. \ very pretty model shown
at one of the openings has two rows
of gray velvet ribbon around the skirt
above two-inch hem. \ space of
their own width separates these
bands, and the effect is very simple,
but stylish. The upper part of the
skirt is in fine tucks to the knee.
But the bodice redecms the gown
from any special simplicity, as it is
one of the new lace coats in three
quarter length. The flct d'ltalian
lace in cream white is the special
kind used in this instance, and the
coat is striped up and down its entire
length with the same gray velvet rib
bonS, each decorated at intervals Of
several inches with looSclN-ticd
knot of the velvet. The waist portion
of the coat is lined with thin white
silk. covered with white chiffon.
Below the waist line is the only
lining which is finished on the edge
with plated frill. TO stripe the lace
thus with velvet ribbon gives the
pretty long lines which almost every
woman needs in this kind of gown,
as the coat has a tendency to cut her

ent decrease of stature, if She can

coat gowns. They are indeed one Of
the special novelties of the season.

day is long past when anything will
do for belt. and now they are con-
sidcred almost as much as the gown
itself. This season there is an unu-
Sual variety i'm both belts and buckles
offered. The buckles are gold plated
and set with imitation gems in beau
tful designs, which rival the genuine
article in everything but price, and
that is high enough to he quite up to
date. One of the newest things IN
buckles is made of steel and oXydized
silver on black velvet, which is a good
background for both metals. Elastic
belts come i'm a variety of colors and
widths. studded with silver, steel,
gold and jet.
\ fancy belt of two elastic bands
little more than an inch wide is one
novelty. The bands are studded with
steel on the lower edges and Joined,
and separated at the back i'm girdle
form with an ornament of steel and
gold, which is fully four inches long.
The front clasp is just wide enough
to enable the bands to meet. This is
shown in the illustration with an an
other pretty belt made of satin also
in girdle form, but not wider than
three inches at the back. Over the
satin are three strands of satin rib
bon with fancy edge, and wide
enough almost to cover the belt.
These are held in place by three slides
of gold studded with turquoises. one
at the back and shorter ones at
either side; it is very effective belt
in either black or white.
Buckles made of two or three met
ais and set with pearls or rhinestoncs
are among the attractions in this line.
and then there are the enameled
buckles in Egyptian designs. Gun
metal is still popular, and some of the
prettiest buckles are comprised OF
rose gold and silver. Added to the
elaborate display of buckles are the
belt pins, which come in all sorts
of fancy designs, and are very much
liked because they can be transferred
from one belt to another.

Suddenly Stanford remembered why
he had sought her after Office hours.
so your house has decided TO re-
fuse a Light in the Dark?'" he
queried.
YES" she replied with uncompro-
missing brcvity.
"Why?" he persisted. There is no
need to mince matters. You are the
head of the house; you must have a
reason and it may prove valuable
side-light to me-"
II am not literary critic"
AYE, but why did you refuse to put
out my work."
NO money in it,"
Physiological problems may not
be vastly interesting TO the multitude,
but" he paused invitingly.
"Whatever is intrinsically good is a
safe investment-it will find a market
sooner or later"
"Then you hold that my book is not
intrinsically good? / have been told
by eminent critics that it was a clever
piece of work"
Critics are literary men, not
physiognomists. You cannot make
correct demonstration from false
hypothesis" The unwillingncss to
talk died from her eyes and she turned
10 him with eager insistence.
"You are a physiognomist and
shrewd one. You understand the
meaning of every line in the human
face, but you have overlooked the UNI
derlying lines. You accept to the full
that saying of Emerson's: And the
man or woman who would have re-
manned a sunny garden-fower, with no
room for its roots and too much sun
shine for its head, by the falling of the
walls and the neglect of the gardener
is made the bantam Of the forest But
you have forgotten, as Emerson for
got, that be il ever so much n bantam
there must still be some hint of the
sun-loving garden-fower at its heart.
Even while giving its branches in
stern protection 10 the covering
things at its roots, il must yearn
vaguely for shetering walls and sun
shine" she turned abruptly toward
the painting.
Stanford moved step nearer and
stared hard at the canvas. The
problem was solved for him. He re-
membercd now to have heard how at
her fathers death she had taken
charge Of the nearly bankrupt house,
by an absolute devotion of time and
energy saved the name from dishonor.
More than that. She had made it one
of the most prosperous concerns in
the city,

The woman studied the painting and
the man studied the woman. He had
known her for a year and yet he
knew her not at all. The rugged out
side of the business-woman life was
easily comprehcndcd. It was the oc-
sasional soft cleaning of poetic ten
derncss that puzzled him. Was it
real?
If il was sham, why did She not do
more of it? Certainly il was charm

how could She stand so fascinated be

cvanescent usefulness of Frank
Stantou's loyc-sonrs. Why should it
appeal to this stern woman of af-
fairs?
Yet so strongly did it appeal to her
that she stood there obliyious of all
else. Stanford studied her at his lcis-
IRE.
She was not particularly good-look-
ing; the broad forehead was married
by deep lines between the browS; the
straight nose had become aquiline
from habits of persistent application:
and the mouth was diSfgured by an
expression of determination. 1t
might have been a Cood-looking face,
even pretty one, Stanford reflected,
if the owner had never got up against
the big things of life and resolved to
win out or die. How absurd to imagine
that those firm lips could have ever
been tender!

Ignorant and apparently unso- phisu.cated. he held a wonderful influ- erce over his followers, the members of a religious sect which he founded in Houston about four years ago. So com p,ete was Smiths control over the members of his flock that they would uncomplainingly follow him anywhere and. though they were never tested quite sp far 1t is certain that many of them would have followed him even unto death.
 The first time Smith came into promi- hence as a prophet was about two years ago. when he kept 100 members of hin flock cooped up in a small and poorly ventilated building in this city for nearly three days, waiting for the coming of a flood of hot water which the sslf-styled prophet had predicted. So strong was tho belief of the negroes that the hos wat-r deluge would com., that they would not leave the building for any purpose, and child was born in the rendezvous The police tried io induce the n groes to dsband on ac- count of the unsanitary condition of the place.

BALDWINS MILLIONS.

"I have made and lost more millions than any other American. sald Lucky" Baldwin not long ago. and that, indeed. Is the story of his career. IT. wa born on farm in Racine. Wis. sey uty-three years ago. When IS years old he took a ra co horse to South Bend. Ind. raised little money and started a grocery store. H prospered. bought .tIing 0f wagons and horses and headed for California.
 That was in 1858. Alive to the possl- bilities of San F'rancisco, he figured that millions of bricks would soon be needed in the town, and became inter- ested in brick yard. Next he opened a livery stable. and after that went back to selling groceries He was accu- mulating money all the time. and in settlement of some bills had received a number of certificates of stock in gold mines.
 This apparently worthless stock he put carefully away, and then went over to Japan to bri:g over Japanese troupe as a sort Of theatrical enterprise. He was gone several months, and when he returned he found that the Com stock lode had been discovered. and that the mining stock he had put away was worth considerably over a million dollars. This was where he earned his soubrlquet of "Lucky."
 Notwithstanding his sudden accession Of wealth, Baldwin went about ovcr the country with his Japanese troupe until hi7 contract was filled, Then he re- turned to san Franciaco and relnvested his money. He acquired vast ranches in southern California, Baldwin's the ater and hotel in Frisco and il hotel at Lake Tahoe.
