FEMININE FINERY.
New Ideas i'm Gowns, Waists and B0as fer the Current
 Season.

A severe but elegant brown holland walking suit has corset skirt and very long coat to match. The coat reaches nearly to the knees, and is buttoned al- most the entire length. These gowns need to be perfectly tailored to be suc- 'cessful, reports the New York Post.
 A pretty suit of white holland or dress linen has box plaited skirt and waist, the latter having all the plaits stitched fiat. It blo1ses little all around. The belt, collar, cuffs and sleeve caps of this gown are piped with rather bright blue, and are trimmed with small silver but tons. Under the fiat stole collar falls a tie with long ends of blue linen orna- white, hand-sewn.
 A perfectly-made lace waist is as much of a satisfaction to wear or to behold as an inferior garment of the same descrip- tfon is dowdy and distressing An inter- lining of two or more thicknesses Of chiffon is almost a necessity. A costly example of a we1l-conceived white lace waist is of lace resembling point de Venise, and has sort of a spider-weh pattern. Itis underlined with chiffon, and is quite bare of ornamentation. The seams, including those that join the sleeves to the body, are put together with fine nainsook scanning. A line of the scanning also joins the soft stock collar. A gorgeous boa is in fiat stole shape and is very long. It is nnadeof fine black ostrich feathers, with white marabeut, al~ most as airy as swans down for lining. The ends of the boa are long fringes o1 the black and white feathers. ! Another feather boa keeps the popular round shape. It is made of lilac ostrich feathers, and shades from the palest to very deep tones around the face. With this regal boa goes hat of lilac straw in a Gafnsborough shape. It Is loaded with purple lilacs, and has scarf of lilan ribbon extending to the turned-up back of the hat, where 1t is tied in large bow- The number of brown hats among the latest importations Is notable, and is an indication of the vogue that color is des- tined to become when the next fashions are shown A charming hat of deep tan- co1ored straw is bent into three-oor- nered shape almost like a continental army hat. A bandeau of brown ribbon lifts it from the hair, and a flashing .cockade of brown ostrich tips and an aigrette trims the hat on the left side.

 motto for soldiers. ''2So bread, DO light" Putting the word "cracker" for bread and road for line, the famous cracker kneea Chattanooga wRs road tor bringing bread to the soldiers in the trenches. At the close of October, 1863, the Federal Army Of the Cumberland, transferred from the command of Rose crans to that of Pap" Thomas, its savior at,Chickamauga, was preparing 10 fight for its existence at Chatta- aooga
 The Fedsrals held Chattanooga, as the saying ia, but owing to the lay of the land Braggs Confederate army on the outside held the FederaIs. They couldn't get out without running the ganflet o< Confederate batteries and musksts; they couldn't stay without eating. Chattanooga lies in a bend of the Tennessee river, shut fn on the north, where the Tederals approached st by rugged mountain barriers. The narrow valley of the river and the tributary Lookout valley opening to the west gave the only means of tngress possibie-6o to the 'beleaguered army. The Confederates held the west and south banks of the rfyeEv inclIdang Lookout valley, and the only road available for Thomas bread train was close to the river on the north side. General Joe whesler's raiding troopers dashed at the road in vain The Yankees held on like death, for to jet go was to starve. Finally the Coufederates posted line of sharpshooters ten miles long on the south bank to shoot the horses and drivers of the bread wagons. This scheme worked well, and the wagons had to travel a tortuous mountain road 30 difficult that 1t became a serious question whether the army could live and fight at Chattanooga.

THE RAID AT BEIRUT

From Further Raids.
 BEIRUT, Syria, Oct. 3.-Particulars of the trouble at Beirut have come to hand from a reliable source as follows,
 When the raid of the Moslems be- gan in Beirut the Christians fled from the city, leaving their houses to be pillaged. The great Lebanon district, a Christian province, stretching down to ths limits of the city, assured them a place of safety, and thither the Chris dans rushed in a panic. Thousands soon had gathered on the Lebanon plain, just outside of Beirut and made their way up into the mountain viii lages.
 While the raid was in progress some of the government officials hastened to the scene and checked the marauders, lA.> 4uI4 strength of the military was brought out, the streets were soon be- ing patrolled, and the American squad ron, anchored in the harboT, placed its men under arms and held them ready for action. AS 8 result no fur ther raids were attempted, and within a day or two all danger had practically departed.
 A proclamation was posted on the mosques and other public buildings di- recttng the merchants to open their stores and the people to resume their occupations but the stores did not open, and the people who had fed showed no purpose of returning. The stampede did not cease after the first AFaght was over, and with business sus- pended, with a dread uncertainty in the air and with rumors of every sort flying about, many who had remained in the city, hoping that the city was being paeifed, the movement was de ferFod
 Many in the crowd were heard to say, We will not go back like this" The advice of the pasha wherever he spoke did not meet with approval, but in a number of cases the second sober thought prevailed, and the train to Beirut was crowded with refugees, ap- parent1y eager to return to their homes.

AN ARMLESS HORSEMAN.
Washington Man Who Drives Fast
Horses with che Greatest
Ease and Skill.

people wonder how it is that \
am able to drive horses without
hands," said Mr.. w. B. Denny, the
arpless man, whose proficiency as a
horseman has won great praise, says
the Washington Star. "As far as the
art of driving and controlling a
horse, no matter how spirited he Isl
is concerned, that is not a great per-
Torrance. After the ends of the
driving reins are securely buckled or
tied, | place n rein over my right
shoulder and the near side rein I'M
der my left arm. If a horse becomes
FESTIVE and shows signs of becoming
uncomfortable | throw the weight of
my body against the reins and if that
fails to bring him to his senses I
twist my body from one side to the
other, so as to violently jerk his head
from right to left.
"A straight, heavy pull against the
mouth of a horse that is inclined to
run because he is frightened or be.
cause of a vicious disposition, is
rarely, if ever, effective in gaining
full control of him. When a fright
ened horse begins to get the better
of you your duty is to make him
think of something else besides the
object Of which he is afraid. This can
be done by violently jerking his head
from right to left, and at the same
time talking to him in low tones. Do
not let the horse know that you are
frightened by shouting whoa! whoa!
in a loud and excited tone of voice,
If you do the chances are that you
will add to his fright. Before | get
into a wagon | always see that the
straps and buckles are in perfect
condition, that the horse is properly
hitched and that the trap | ride in is
all right. | cannot afford to take
many chances, for if | were thrown
to the ground by reason of IN accl-
dent the chances are that | would be
fatally injured.
ut is not so much my great skill
as a horseman that has thus far pre-
vented me from meeting with serious
accidents as my confidence in my
ability to manage any horse ! get up
behind. ] drive none but highly bred
and spirited horses and | find that
kind in a pinch much safer, because
of their superior intelligence. A
horse known to be really vicious
should never be driven, but consigned
to the bone yard. l drive two horses
and in a pinch drive in a race. 1t is
dangerous on my part, but thus far |
have met with no serious accidents"

Reports from Paris show that great
latitude characterizest the styles fos in
and outdoor costumes this winter. In
eyening dress especially there is
marked variety and style, reports the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Silks. satins and moires are worn by
brides, though the guests at the we'd
dings hardly realize the fact, for they
are completely hidden by soft gauzes,
overlaid with lace. Classic bands of
orange blossom often supersede the
chaplet of old days.
The mothers of brides are beginning
to adopt mor or less of a livery, name
ly, a thick Irish or guipure overdress,
with just a suspicion of gray or some
color beneath.
Every month lace dresses gain in
weight and Importance says,a fashion

Henry ". hats. Henry Tvs reign just
preceded Louis NILS. his epoch being
from 15S9-1610. Louis XIII.'s from 1910
1913.
Some new and handsome tortoise
shell combs and couture ornaments are
adorned with peacocks fashioned from
gold and enameIs.
Old fashioned canoes are utilized
for half nine ,-;th ~ 40 ,ct;, - go.
Cairngorms are returning to fashion,
especially when surmounted by an en-
amel heart or crown. The golden tint
ed ones are especially appropriate for
wear with brown costumes.
Cymric designs in gold and silver,
with a touch of color in them, are be-
ing applied in England and abroad as
pendants for the neck, as brooches,
bracelets, even buttons, and their
beauty is often enhanced by the intro.
duction of opals, pearls and %turquoi.s
Velvet strips in black and white OF
brown and white check effect are used
with artistic result as trimming fol
plain colored wool gowns.
