models the coat is Of the loose sack order

Brown in a rich golden hue promises to be
favored during fall and winter. Lighter
shades than usual are found in fall goods,
and Iong-haired materials will count as
extremely stylish. Mauve, win a pale tint
of pink. blue or green, is much favored.
Buttons and cord ornaments will be plen-

for these garments and make up very pref

sacque OF white china silk, trimmed with
a scarf of white chiffon knotting in a big
gilt buckle at the bust and with lace in

Petticoats Of satin brocade, louisine and
china silk have driven taffeta skirts out Of
fashion. Underwear Of silk is possible only
when il is completely lacking in rustic.
The same is true OF Innings; surah and fou-
lard are chosen in preference to taffeta.
New walking skirts are made short
enough for easy walking. but the fare
about the bottom is much exaggerated.
New coats to go with them are lined with
figured silk Of soft finish. Norfolk and
tight-fitting jackets are also mated with
walking skirts.

Checks to Feminine independence.

Philadelphia Times.
And they call this the age of feminine
independence!' said the -elf-supporting
young woman. But don't let any one be-
lieve it! Women never were intended to
be independent and there will never be a
time when they will be, unless this world
is made over on another basis. Oh, yes,
/ used TO believe it all, but don't now.
Try your independence this summer vaca-
ton season, and see how il will work. OF
course, women can travel around alone
with tolerable comfort, but they have to
use the greatest amount of discretion TO
keep the world at large of the opinion that
they are what they are and What they
wish to appear. That is while travelling.
But stay at some place for two or three
weeks where there are nice people whom
one would be glad to know, and see what
happens. IL she does not arrive armed with
introductions there are nine chances out
of ten that not one .of the nice people will
more than speak TO her of the happy in
dependence. That is, if she is a halfway
decent looking sort of a woman. If she is
so old or ugly that no nan would possibly
think of her twice, though bearing the out
ward and visible signs of being a gentle
woman, she may be recognized. Other
wise every one will stand aloof."

of their business interests" continued the
same pessimistic young woman. II know
any number of girls who are on the road TO
taking up with the crooked stick because
they once dreamed OF the possibility of the
beautiful independence of women Of which
people talk so wildly. Women never can
get on in business as well as men, because
they can't get the home idea out Of their
heads. They always have little homes
wherever they are. They buy pretty
dishes, have plants and a cat, darn their
W stockings, wash their own gloves, and
make their own shirtwaists. 1t is only
the most affluent, and there are mighty
few of those, who reach a position where
they can "a a maid TO look after them.
Now you can't do business and care for
cats and plants, make shirtwaists and
cook nice little teas and wash the dishes
afterward. Something suffers, and il is
usually the woman after a few years. Then
she realizes that she has al unhappy mid
die age before her. she can't get along
without her cats and her dishes and her
stocking darning, and she begins TO medi-
