The cool autumn winds that strike
us at every turn suggest the desAra-
bility of new coats suitable to the
season. 1t is not hard to find some
thing attractive and pleasing, but it
is hard to make a choice between the
many pretty models and varieties
that are offered. What a boon it
would be if the people who make
our fashions for us would but con-
fine themselves to a few less varie-
ties in each garment. How much
easier ii would be to select that
which suited us. Now we have fancy
coats of all descriptions, ranging
from petit paletot to the long ulster
like garment that envelopes the en-
tire Dody down to the hem of the
skirt. And with these are all man
ner of dainty and pretty capes that
afford ali the protection needed from
the autumn winds.
In the way of materials both taf-
feta and peau de sole, though by no
means novel, will figure in many of
the more elaborate garments, while
smooth finished cloths are the favor
ite for ordinary wear. For the new
capes, however, rich and delicate
fabrics seem to be the thing, and odd
designs, approaching old-fashioned
tippets, pelerines and shawl draper
les, are the most acceptable to the
seeker after genuine novelties in up
to date dress.
The illustration represents a
rather curious combination of coat
and cape, the latter in effect, but
really the former in cut, for the
body Fart is supplied with sleeves in
the usual manner. 1t is made up in
suede cloth. The entire garment is a
series Ct overlapping tucks about an
inch wide, and while on the sleeves
| these plisse folds follow a horizontal
| line, on the rest of the coat, or cape.
| they curve upward from the side to
| converge at the bust. The neck is
finished with youthful looking col
| lar fashioned of alternating layers
| of mousseline the same shade as the
cloth and bands of rich lace. This
collar IS broad enough to quite cover
the tops of the sleeves, and it rounds
down prettily to the bust, where it
ends under two large and beautiful
| jeweled buttons. From this point
| there falls a soft scarf of the nous
| seine, which has it's ends cut off
| square and ornamented with a band
of the guipure. The wrap is charm
ing little creation for carriage wear

HOW TO HANDLE HONEY BEES
They VIII Not Harm a Person When
Confined to the Hive and IntOx-
icated with Honey.

"Don't stir up beehive unless you
know it is rich one" said an apiarist
to a visitor at his bee farm, as re-
ported by the New York Tribune.
81 think that 1 would leave them
alone altogether" was the reply.
"They have too angry buzz about
them to win my confidence"
''You are not used to them, that's
ALL" said the beeman. "For example,
these hives are full of honey, and if l
puff a little smoke into the doors so
as to sort of suffocate the sentries, I
can topic a hive over. handle the bees
like so many beans, clean the honey
combs and carry them off. The bees
won't harm me-" And. to prove his
words, the speaker performed the eX-
pertinent, and came back to his friend
with a smile and several combs of
honey.
eff those hives had been nearly
empty. said the apiarist, 81 would have
been lucky to have escaped with my
life The tenants of poor hive sting

That's strange" said the visitor.
"I should think they would defend
their boards with especial jealousy,
and the more they have the hotter
they would fight"
''The reason is" said the beeman,
"that when alarmed the bees fly to
their storehouse and gorge them
selves. When full of honeya bee can't
bend its body and sting"

MY FATHERS DINNER PAIL.

I pass beside the woodland where the ten

And through the pleasant meadows where
the honeysuckles blow.
Across the bridge, along the brook, and
through the broken rail,
Where some one waits to help me with my

In the New York shops may now
be seen the elaborate display of fall
hats that is feature of every au-
tumn. They represent, so we are
told, the very best of the Partisan
styles, and we should imagine they
represent all of them from the great
variety that is offered.
Flat hats are to be more worn than
ever, while laces will be extensively
used, and the long scarf in the back,
that has been such feature of the
summer millinery, will be seen again
on winter hats, only with longer
scarf ends than before. Some of the
prominent houses are showing bright
red as the keynote of their smartest
hats. The grass green which has
been shown SO much favor is still to
be worn. In a season, however, when
pale blue and pastelle shades promise
to be extremely popular, and gowns
in all light tints are to be much in

LAST KENTUCKY DUEL.
of the Participants In the
s'AHair of Honor"

The death of Capt. 10. Desha at Gym
thiana a few days ago recalls duel
which was fought in Scott county soon
after the close of the civil war-a cold
day in March, 1S66-in which Capt.
Desha and Lieut.. Kimbrough, of Gym
thiana, were the participants, reports
the Leadville Herald-Democrat. Capt.
Desha had served in the confederate
army and Lieut.. Kimbrough was in the
federal service. The duel was fought
on the line dividing Fayette and Scott
counties, on the James X. Duke farm.
Lieut.. Kimbrough was the challenging
party. Two shots were exchanged.
At the second shot Kimbrough, was
shot through the upper part Of the
thigh, the ball passing through the
body. He recovered from the wound,
but always limped afterward. He
died few years ago in Texas. AT the
time of the duel Capt. Desha's left
arm was useless in consequence of a
serious wound received during the war.
Desha and Kimbrough were neigh
Dor boys and schoolmates, and the
trouble began between them when at
school. 1t was renewed after the war,
the duel resulting. Maj. Harvey Nc
Dowell of Cynthiana, was Desha's
second, and Maj. Long acted for Kim
brough. DIR. Benedict Keene, then a
priminent physician of Georgetown,
was surgeon to the latter. The duel
was witnessed by Warren Smith and
George w. Downing, of Georgetown.
This was probably the last duel ever
fought in Kentucky.

Another pretty model that comes

This, too, is of smooth finish cloth

tawny shade with insertions of lace

coat is the entire absence of collar
or trimming that in any way sug

to bed early and slept soundly. After

in the suburbs, and my heart began
