We shall see some curious colors and
combinations Of materials for the COM
ing season.
Any amount of pelerines and capes
are in the 1880 style. Three-quarter
coats are much befrilled and have vol
luminous sleeves. Belts are growing
into corselets and collars all affect a
pointed front or V-shape.
Velvet pastilles Or spots and bebe
fringes are the trimming Of the moment.
The Greek key pattern is considered
very smart. and is being used in velvet
on cloth costumes.
Very elegant skirts are open in front
to show panel of lace or embroidery,
and the V-shaped line is much affected
for skirts trimmed with pinked-out ruch-
ings of silk. We have rather overdone
the herringbone and drawn-thread
stitching.
Muffs will be immense, and fat or
heart-shaped stoles will continue to be
fashionable, but they will Of course be

dorsed!
Moleskin will be worn for other pur-
poses than motoring, and we shall see
the advent of some new and curious
peltry-, amongst which is monkey skin.
which is very sleek and glossy-looking.
Musquash is dressed to represent mole
skin, on account of the demand exceed
ing the supply for the soft and pretty
fur. Ermine costs more than ever, and is
getting very scarce. Chinchilla and
caracul are less m0dish, but sable as
usual takes premier favor over all the
rest.
For the present we are wearing hats
covered with ruchettes of tulle and
wreathed with grapes, currants, or hops.
If one is investing in an all round travel
ing hat, the best to purchase is certainly
the ''lisse' feather shapes, as they can be
worn into the early winter.
There are many pretty hats made OF
alternate folds of muslin and velvet,
which are both soft and effective.
IL we are to take the specimens of the
new winter millinery au serieux, we can
not complain that our headgear should
prove unbecoming The hats are entire
ly made of smooth feathers, and some in
white feathers are charming.
The shapes are almost fat, and
crowned with wreath Of brilliant
plumage. The back slightly raised, and
filled in with bows of fame-colored vel
vet ribbon. But what the fashions are
now, they will continue to be, with
slight notifications, during the coming
season. ToCues, fashioned In soft fine
straw, in Tam O. Shanter style, trimmed
with rosettes of colored straw, are in
vogue for country wear Old-fashioned
Dolly Warden shape rustic hats with
broad satin ribbon across the crown, and
to tie under the chin, are also seen.
Picture hats are charming when the
dress worn is in keeping, but it often
happens that there is TACK of harmony
between the dress and the hat. Certain
hats, which accord we'll with a large
fichu, simply swear at a three-quarter
coat. White marabouts will be much
used together with uncurled feathers.

PM Religion Into PoAtlc,
By COUNT LEO TOLSTOI.

Men are beginning to understand. And now
they need to learn that there is only means Of
realizing good human iife-to profess and to prac
tice the religious doctrine which accessible to the
majority of men, And it is only when they will pro-
fess and practice this religious doctrine that they will
be able to attain the ideal which has been born in their
consciousness, and to which they aspire.
All other attempts destroy power, for the good
organization of the life of men without power can
be only useless expenditure Of forces, not
drawing nearer, but dstancing humanity from the

A smart walking-gown is here Illus

Amazon cloth of a richer beaver shade,
trimmed with velvet of darker tint
edged with tinsel cord. The picture hat
is of beaver colored felt, trimmed with
velvet and ostrich feathers, the stems Of

enemies while others claim that
