For early autumn wear felt hats in
pale gray. white and black are shown
by all the leading hatters.
Soft veilings and voiles viii rema.a
popular undoubtedly. as many of the
new gowns are fashioned from them.
The heavier cotton fabrics will be
worn in waists during the winter, and
the new models continue to present
unique and charming features in yokes,
sleeves and finish.
"Waistings" for the autumn are un-
usually attractive this year. including
as they DO soft, fine fannels and pretty
silks in fancy and striped effects and
IN checks and plaids.
Corduroy Of soft and lustrous finish
is among the early fall materials and
is being fashioned into attractive walk

especially gun metal gray are the lead
ing tones in these goods.

Philadelphia has started q movement
for 35-foot channel to the sea. Behind
it are gathering all the forces which are
necessary 20 command attention, and
when the demand for IN appropriation
reaches Congress il viii probably be Of
such a nature that IL will be needed. It
is necessary that Delaware should indi-
cate TO Philadelphia that she, TOO, is in
favor Of this deeper channel, and we
recommend that our Board Of Trade put
itself on record as not only favoring the
project, but as its earnest champion. A
channel from Philadelphia to the tea
admitting the passage Of deep-draught
vessels at all tides would develop the
commerce OF the river to an extent that
would be felt by the business and com
mercial interests Of three States.
II is true that we need appropriations
for the improvement Of our own river
and harbor, but this is q part of the gem
cral and broader scheme 10 improve the
Delaware with It's two important tribu-
taries. Philadelphia intends TO have the
Schuylkill shadows dredged TO the wal
nut street bridge. anditis justas sneces-
sary to improve the Christiana to the
Wilmington whaves. We think the
time has come for the Delaware repres-
entation in Congress and the business in
terests to assure the Pennsylvania and
New Jersey delegations of their support
for this comprehensive scheme. With a
project calling for depth at low water
Of 80 feet from the capes 70 Philadelphia,
with two branch streams of a depth Of
25 feet as feeders, the commerce Of the
Delaware would reach vast proportions.
Thus Tie scheme would be Of sufioient
breadth As to leave no doubt of its im-
portance to three States, and the delega-
tions representing the three could
heartily cooperate in their efforts at
Washington.

The manufacture of perfumes de-
serves to rank as one of the finest arts.
The extraction Of the essences from
flowers, such as jasmine, tuberose vio-
let and cassia, has long been carried
out by the process Of enheurage, the
blossoms being left in contact with pu-
rined lard for few days and then re-
placed by fresh blossoms. The lard is
either sold as such or the essential oil

As the process Of enaeurage is some
what tedious. attempts nave frequently
been made 70 extract the oil directly
from the flowers by means Of light pc
trolcum. but these processes have not,
as a rule, proved successful, and it has
recently been found that very large
proportion OF the perfume is actually
produced for the first time in the bios
SONS during the time occupied by the
enheurage
An interesting illustration of this is
given by DR.. Albert Hesse in a recent
number Of the Berichte, in which he
states that a ton Of tuberose blossoms
yielded only sixty-six grams of oil
when extracted with light peroleu7o.
but during enheurage yielded sol
grams Of oil to the fat in which they
were imbedded, while further seven
ty-eight grams remained I'm the faded
blossoms and could be separated by ex-
traction or distillation. 1t thus ap-
pears that eleven times as much per
fume is produced during enheurage as
IS originally present in the flowers, and
that even after enheurage, the ex
hausted flowers contain more perfume
than when FIRST gathered.-ChicagC
Chronicle.
