and gives the most colorless complex
ion a becoming luster. American girls,
therefore. will hail as cheerful news the
statement that velvet evening gowns. as
well as street suits, will be the acme
OF smartness for winter wear. Some
exquisite designs in Liberty velvets are
even now in process of making, and
heavier grades of the material will be
as popular as they were years ago.
Evening Dress for Men.
This happy revival of velvet brings to
mind the much mooted question of moro
elaborate evening dress for men. There
was great deal of talk among men last
year, it will be remembered, as to the
advisability of returning to velvet
coats. lace ruffles, knee breeches and
buckles for evening. 1t seems natural
enough that fashions for men and women
should react one on the other. am
told, indeed. that hundred years ago
the influence of feminine dress on mas
culine attire was strongly felt.
Milliners are reticent about autumn
fashions in hats as yet. But one item
of interest was confided to me the other
day The fetching thing for winter will
be the use of a long dropping ostrich
feather from the back of the hat, so
arranged that it will curl gracefully
about the wearer's neck. This Is the
Gainsborough idea, only the hats on
which the feather is used will not ne
cessarily be very large.
Late Summer Costumes.
The illustrations used herewith show
some charming costumes for late sum-
mer wear The first to the left of the
center is a gown in plated and en-
broidered linen. The skirt is nearly
covered by two embroidered founces
headed with inserting and edged with
lace. The corsage bertha is of embroid-
cred linen and is edged with lace. Next
is chic canvas cloth or Gne linen coat
suit in pale blue. The skirt is plain
save for two sets of fan-like plaits at
either side of the hem. Stitched white
linen bands. a belt of white silk, large
collar and cravat of guipure finish the
jacket. The third illustration is given
to show a mantle of white summer
broadcloth. The straps are OF pique
with passamenterie tabs. The three de-
signs on the left give an excellent idea
of the pretty paletot. or short coat.
so popular this summer. silks. broad
cloth and occasionally linen and pique
are the materials used for them.

ing June %. 1879. BY looking at a calen-
dar we see at once that the twenty third
anniversary OF her birth. last June. fell
on Wednesday. or, ii q calendar does
not happen TO be ready at hand, We
can determine the day in this manner:
Say today is Saturday, August Is.
Reckoning backward TO June 25 we find
that ffty-two days have since elapsed.
This makes seven weeks and three days;
so that today must be three days fur
ther on IN the week than June % was.
Hence. counting back three days from
Saturday we arrive at the conclusion
that June 25 of the present year fell
on Wednesday.
We now proceed to reckon back for
twenty-threc years from June %. 1902.
The number of days in that period is
365 times 23. or S.3g5 days. together
with the additional days belonging to

Julius Caesar, who. It will be remem-
bered was a man OF considerable note
in his day. observed the mix-up to which
chronological arrangements were drift
ing, and ordered the addition of one day
in every fourth year-it was thrown into
February. the smallest month of the
family, to make the calendar run
smoothly. This was the origin OF the
leap year-a year. by the way. which
has since acquired a certain interest In
connection with matrimonial PROPOSE
tions.
Caesars arrangement tcalled after
him the Julian Correction'D would have
been all right II the length Of the solar
day happened to be 365 days and c hours
exactly; but 1t happens to fall short of
this by II minutes and 3 seconds. and
so his correction went a little too far.
The error remaining after Caesars cor
rection would amount to 81 days in 400
years, and had amounted to II days IN
the year 1850 when Pope Gregory un-
dertook to reform the calendar. Greg

leap year unless tde numbers preceding
the ciphers I6, Il. Is. etc. in the exam
pies just taken) were multiples of I.
Thus the year 1900 was leap year. but
100, 1900. and 1900 were not. AS this
arrangement reduced the number of
leap years by three in every 400 years
the error was thus reduced to one
tenth of day in 400 years; so that the
error according to the Gregorlan calen-
dar will not have amounted to one day
until the year OF grace $3.50. at which
time. most likely. the correction OF the
calendar will hold very little interest
for any of the present inhabitants OF
mother earth.

tion. To illustrate the method OF deter

ready explained. the year 1900 is not
to be included.) Thus the total number
of days in those twenty-tEree years was
S,395 plus .. or S,400 days. Reducing
this TO weeks we find 1000 weeks ex-
actly. Hence the twenty-third anniver-
sary fell on the same day of the week
as the actual birthday. and the latter
must therefore have been Wednesday.
But supposing the period in ques-
tion did not happen to make an exact
number OF weeks Suppose, for exam
pie. it happeHed to be 200 weeks and
5 days. Well. then We would know
that the day in question had moved
forward three days in the week. so that
We should reckon backward three days

and arrived in England four weeks ago,
and now the Marchioness of Hastings
has proved how completely she has for
given her sons runaway match by in
yiting his brides mother to visit her at
the Chetwynd place, near Windsor. Mrs.
Secor is a charming woman, not unlike
more strikingly a brunette.
Even Royalty Pleased.
AS for Mrs. Chetwynd herself, even
royalty has been pleased to admire her
beauty and wit. The picture Mrs. Chet-
wynd was kind enough to give me per-
sonally shows the latest triumphant
American girl in her presentation robes.
At the last court Mrs. Chetwynd was
acknowledged the most strikingly beau
tiful woman there. The presentation
was made by the mother-in-law, Lady
Hastings, whose social prestige is in
vulnerable. Mr.. Chetwynd and his wife
have taken a comfortable little house
off Grosvenor Square, where they enter
tain charmingly and appear biissfully
happy. Theirs was a love match, pure
and simple, no heavy dowry coming with
the bride.
Former Elopement in the Family.
It would have been oddly inconsistent
if the Marchioness of Hastings had
withheld forgiveness from her lovelorn
son. She ran away and got married
herself once upon a time. Before taking
this step she was Lady Florence Paget.
Her beauty gave her the title of the
Pocket Venus" and among the bellies
and beaux of thirty-odd years ago she
was famous for her good looks, even
before she became the central figure in
a romance of the most exciting kind. She
was engaged to marry one man of prom
inence in politics and on the turf
Henry Chaplin by name. She Tilted him
and eloped with Lord Hastings, then in
the heyday of his wild Setting successes.
This was in 1867. Three years later her
life with Lord Hastings was over, that
reckless sportsman dying after having
come to pitifui financial ruin. and at the
hands Of the very man Lady Hastings
Tilted for him. Mr.. Chaplins winning of
the Derby, an overwhelming surprise,
swept away every penny of Lord Hast
ings' fortune.
