r. Some Peculiarities i'm Fall Hats
~

The fiat hat with broad straight
brim is the popular form for au-
tumn wear, but it is by no means
the only form. Every changing sea-
son brings with it it's novelties and
monst1osities that are looked at,
wondered over, bought and worn by
a few, and pass away to make room
for the best the seasons modes
offer.
So it is with hats this season.
Every milliner's windows are filled
with a display of these novelties,
some of them pretty in their quaint
ness and others actual monstrosi-
ties SO hideous that it seems i'm
possible that they should appeal to
any sensible woman. One wonders
what becomes of these monstrosities
in hats, the great turbans with
crowns formed of such things as a
big ROSTERS head, or a. Hopping pic
ture hat Of emerald green, loaded
with half ripe apples. They eventu-
ally find their way to the row of
millinery shops on Division street on
The East side, and from there are
sold to the visitors whose curiosity
sATacts them to that part of the city.

A striking feature of all autumn

the tips of the feathers tipped with
brilliant scarlet, and the head of the
bird of the same scarlet shade
Some of them show changeable col

, An Attractive Autumn Street Gown

most any pleasant afternoon oe even
ing will be found countless numb. rs
of these promenade gowns. But n, (,
only are they a necessity in New York
but they have penetrated,to every part
of our land. The less fashionable Of
womankind-and by that 1 mean the
less wealthy-class them as street
gowns, and the same may answer for
church wear or afternoon calling.
Here is one pictured that is typical
of the elegance of this class of gowns.
The model is the creation of famous
Paris costumer, and this is one of tho
recent importations. The gown Is
exceedingly simple and it is suitable
for all weathers, as there is nothing
on it to get out of condition. The
material used is royal blue cloth, and
the skirt is ornamented with plaits,
which are stitched down to within u
few inches of the hem, where they
are allowed to spring open, which ar
rangement makes the skirt more be-
coming, and more comfortable for
walking wear. The coat is cunningly
cut so that it forms plaits on tho
shoulders, the lower one wrapping
over on to the sleeve and folding over
on to these is a broad. collar faced. with
velvet, from underneath which revers
of embroidered cloth, which are hello
together on the chest with cord and,
tassels. The outer sleeves are in keep
ing with the skirt, and underneath.

cloth to match the revers, and these
are gathered into cuffs of cloth with a
lattice-work of narrow black velvet
ribbon on them. The en-tont-cas is OF

Chicago hasn't Coney island. No
city outside of New York can lay, claim
to a genuine one, but in small way,
and without the beach, Chicago has
two fair limitations of this gay and
festive resort Out on the South side,
and also on the West side, people
stood in lines a hundred and more
long waiting for their opportunity to
be whirled through space at a hair
raising speed, to fiirt with death as
they turned over the loop and We're
whirled away to safety again. They
did so that they might secure the OPP
portunity of spinning down the long
incline at a speed that took their
breath away and land, with a splash
in the small pond of water at the bot
tom. They rode on the miniature rail-
road trains; they visited the Ormsby
babies; they practiced at the shoot
ing galleries; they explored the mys-
teries of the old mill to such an ex-
to-day man of great wealth, derived
entirely from the royalties he has re-
ceived; they paid parting visits to the
Ferris wheel, of worlds fair fame,
in such numbers that the company
owning it are now considering keeping
it in Chicago instead of sending it to
Coney island, as they had intended.
Chicago first took a notion to this
form of amusement during the worlds
fair. Then the world-renowned Mid
way supplied it, and proved, so far at
least as Chicago people We're con-
cerned, the most attractive feature of
the fair. Between that time and the
past summer Midway features have
not been greatly sought after, but this
year, those who We're in a position
to fill the demand for this sort of
amusement have coined fortunes from
the Chicagoan who passed his vacations
at home, and Investigated his own
town.

warmth of becoming fur ties and boas.
The charming coloring and ma rking
of chiDchilla fur is shown off to excel

OF a number of previous years; they
have taken dose of their own edi-
cine and tasted of the delights of their
home town as summer resort. Even
the summer hotels locatedo on the near
by lakes did not do any great amount
OF business compared with previous
years, and the woeful plant of the
summer landlord is heard because
thereof as he puts up his blinds and
locks. his doors to await the coming
of another season.
And what does the average Chicago
an do to amuse himself in his home
town during the days of his. summer
vacation? To study the possibilities
in the light OF experience, and to COM
pare these possibilities with those of
tered by other places may be of in
terest.
When the cousin from the country
visits the city the first recommended
tion he receives is, visit the parks. He
must see the wonders of the ZOO at Lin
coin park; the flowers at Washington
park; the site of the worlds fair at
Jackson park; the family gatherings
at Garfield, Humboldt and Douglas,
parks, and these things the Chicagoan
has done this summer. He has taken
his lunch basket and his family and
dined beneath the trees; he has res
cued the children from premature
death in the park lakes, pulled them
from off the etatuary and out of the
trees in answer to the pleadings moth
ers; he has hired the park ponies for
drive; has ridden in the merry-go-
rounds; bought soda water popcorn
and peanuts of the street stands, and
for week after haunted the drug
stores in search of remedy for in
digestion. But with it all he has en-
joyedl himself quite as much as he did
at the old-time Fourth of July cele-
| brations of his boyhood days, and he
is loyal enough to his home town to
say that he enjoyed his vacation at
home more than any he had ever his d

THE DIVIDED DEMOCRACY.
Chances for National Success of the
Democratic Party Never
We're Poorer,

According to ex-senator Allen, of Ne
braslla, ''the outlook for the national
democratic party was never more
hopeless than it is atthe present time"
That astute politician is frightened
and angered over the great number of
democratic states which are rejecting
or evading the Kansas City platform
and candidate. After looking over the
field with some care he believes that
the general rejection of the latest ma
tional deliverance of the democratic
party by democratic conventions in the
past two or three months 'precludes
the possibility of defeating the repub-
lican party in 1904"
The author of this Judgment is
pretty we'll remembered by large ele-
ment of the voters, says the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat. He was among the
most strident of the whoopers' for
Bryan in 1896 and 1900, and he is a
Bryanite still. He is a populist, or was
in those campaigns, though we believe
Gently. At any rate, he has a right
to denounce the faithless democrats
who, in many of the states, are aband-
oning their gospel of the two recent
canvasses and repudiating their leader
of those days. Allen shrewdly sees
that this split in the democracy means
the defeat of that party in 1904. 1t is
clear from his expressions that he will
not support a man in that year who
rejects the democratic creed of 1900
and 1896.
Of the democratic state conventions
which have been held this year little
more than half have either rejected
Bryan aud the Kansas City platform
utterly or have ignored or evaded
them, The division is so near the mid
die, however. that it is particularly
ominous. The Bryanites retain very
nearly half of the states. notwithstand-
ing the frantic efforts of the reorganiz-
ers in the past ~ months to efface the
democratic leader of 1896 and 1900.
Probably Bryan will not be the candi-
date of 1904. The chances. in fact. are
that he will not try to get the nomna-
ton. But he will be q powerful factor
in his party in the convention of that
year and in the campaign. The pres
emit prospect is that no man who sup
ported Bryan with any sort of enthusi-
asm in either 1896 or 1900 can get the
nomination in 1904 On the other hand,
if anybody shouldbe nominated in 1904
who opposed Bryan in either year. or
who. like Hill and German, accepted
him in the second of those years and
secretly reioiced when he was defeat
ed Bryan and a good many powerful
members of his branch of the democ-
racy will take the stump against the
ticket. From whatever point the, stu
alton for 1904 is viewed the outlook for
the democracy is dark.
