NOTES OF THE MODES.
rinery for Feminine FolIowers Of
the Fashions for the Season
Now On.

Royal ermine garments anu tflIh-
nings, higher in price and more az
ractiye than ever in shape and Ell
.ect, are in demand for the coming
season, reports the New York Post
Iridescent taffetas are in several
novel styles, one being the glace tat
.eta lance. The combinations among
he new shot materials are exceed
npIy rich and effective, and the lance
igure is either of color contrast
ng with the groundwork or else 1t
deeper shade of the same color.
Amonx the silks recently opened
ire iridescent taffetas brocaded with
Marie Antoinette or Dolly Warden
igures, delicate gray silks with
lainty garlands of violets and roses
black moires with a center in eacn
width resembling passementerie
scrolls, white moire brocaded- with
lea roses and foliage, and French
silks in vivid colorings, whose de-
signs are toned by a film-like over
weaving which gives them pretty
chine effect.
The tendency towards the use OF
gimp, ga1loon and passementerie APP
olique effects in various widths is be-
coming more and more prevalent.
These trimmings range from quar-
ser of an inch to eight or ten inches
IN Width, and some of the wider de-
signs for panel ends or skirt borders
are in mural or Vandyke patterns
Other and lighter weaves show Mar
1uise or Escurial devices in silk en-
oroidery and chiffon on net, tiny
raised cord showing on each design.
These are in open effects, the mate
rial on which they are applied throw
ing out the pattern in bold relief.
These last mentioned garnitures cost
from 20 cents to $3.50 a yard.
Silk embroidered vests. and larger
Louis XIV. waistcoats are introduced
in the satin, velvet, cloth and other
handsome wraps and costumes of the
fall and winter. Brocade in Persian,
Pompadour and other effects is, how
ever, quite as effective and much less
expensive for the purpose, and rem
nants of the richest brocade, with
good color combinations, can be pur-
chased for these vests at any of the
importing houses of the city. Few
things wear better or give greater
satisfaction than a really handsome
brocade, as gowns and other gar
ments made of this material, worn
in days long past and with fiber and
pattern still unimpaired, can prove
Brocades are of good width, and
yard and five-eighths will make
waistcoat and undersleeves.
The long fawn-colored and pale
tan kid gloves which lent themselves
so well to all sorts and conditions of
street costumes and evening toilettes
as well, harmonizing so agreeably
with every tint and tone of gown, are
now rivaIed by an invoice of very
conspicuous shades and colors-
green, red, blue, violet, orange, yell
low and garnet for day wear, with
reproductions in paler tints of these
DYES for evening uses. Most of the
buttons are large and snowy, and the
silk machine stitching in striking
contrast to the color of the glove
The suede elbow glove for evening
wear can either correspond in color
with that of the gown, or it may
match the shade of the dress trim
ming. While the former is deemed
the most fashionable, the latter
seems to be the better liked.

Meanwhile Hugh Derwent Had Dragged His
Weary Way Homeward.

sure of the times, had failed Unfor-[
tunately,, he fell seriously i'll of
fever, which completely FRUSTRATED
him. By degrees their small savings
were expended, then the best OF the
furniture was sold, for they were too
proud to ask help, and so they went
from bad to worse, until they only
had the poor bed, the stove, the table
and two chairs, which now furnished
in scant measure the little room in
the tenement they called home.
Hugh had been out since early
morning hunting for work, and his
wife was growing momentarily more
anxious about his prolonged absence.
What could keep him? 1t began to
grow dark. Pressing her pale face
against the panes, she peered out in
to the street.
Mamma, I'm so hungry" pleaded a
weak little voice from the bed. Cant
1 have something's"
'.Oh, Harry, what shall we do? Sis
ter wants something to eat?" cried
Mrs. Derwent, putting her arms
around her little boys neck.
Mamma, don't cry. I'll go out
again; perhaps I'll get something
this time. and pr'aps I'll meet papa.
1 won't come back without some
thing this time cried Harry. Nov,
see, mamma, if I do. Please don't
cry!"
''Oh, where will you go, my poor
little darling. where will you go?
Your clothes are too thin to go out
in this wind. I cannot, cannot let
you go!"
But Harry was off; he had no time
| to lose. He had no time to lose, in
deed, if he meant to reach the great
| publishing house in Broad street. 1t
was fully five o'clock, and he must
| be there before six, and it was such a
| long, weary walk for little fellow.
Meanwhile Hugh Derwent had
| dragged his weary way homeward.
| He had met the usual rebutfs, some
rudely uttered, some gently worded,
| for there were men who were
| touched by his pallid face and the
! hopeless expression of his coun-
tenance. Mary listened for his foot
| steps, for it was now too dark to see
| the passers-by on the street, caught
| a-faint, uncertain sound as of some
enc tottering on the stairs. Opening
| the door she discerned the figure of
her husband coming YEARLY up, step
| by step, but oh, so slowly. Soon she
had him clasped in her arms. No
| need for him to repeat the sad story
OF failure again; she knew it when
he touched her cheek with his cold
| lips.
Where is Harry" were the first
words he spoke after regaining his
breath, for he was quite exhausted
by the exertion of mounting the
steep staircase
He's gone out, dearest; couldn't
stop him. Mary cried for something
i to eat, and the little fellow rushed
out, determined to do something.
Don't be frightened, Hugh. God will
take care of him, and of US, too. We
must not hide our trouble from your
aunt any longer; it isn't justice to
our children
Where, meantime, was little Harry,

The coal mines at Lehigh, Coalgate

which have been employing members
Of the United Mine Workers Union
Of America, are tied up on account %
a strike Of the union men for an ad.
vance Of wages. The scale agreed to
between the miners and operators last
year was 60 cents a ton. This scale
expired on September l Of this year
and the miners asked for an increase
Of 5 cents per ton, which the opera
tors refused TO pay, and the miners
walked out, tying up the mines for the
present, or until such time as a new
schedule can be made.
The mines affected are those Of

and the Midway Coal company. About
500 men are on strike.
The Coalgate, Lehigh and Midway
mines are in a subdivision Of district
21, under the jurisdiction Of the Unit

portion Of the district is affected by
