wonderful new little mascot came
10 M Oliver Iselin, as harbinger
OF luck To- say nothing Of love IN
spcAkAbIe surely things started
out brightly Tor us when Reliance
showed her heels to her doughty
challenger. Zoo bad the first race
should have ended in luke and
have "a be done all over again.
Some interesting personages and
three interesting things held the cen
ire of Americas stage just now.
First, by courtesy and in sincere re-
spec, aud friendship, we name Sir
Thosmas, the unquenchable; Mr..
Oliver Iselin, with his new born sou;
two trim. ,rig, beautiful yachts, and
the much contested Cup. A pre-.
cious BIZ Of silverware, which has
been in Uncle Sans family for, lol
these many years.
Many anecdotes of the g.n:al
Baronet are going the rounds. One
in particular relates to the time
when, as plain Mr.. Upton. he cali
ed upon some dignitary, who offered
him cigar. He declined. saying he
did not use tobacco in any form,
but nevertheless. was the greatest
smoker in England "What do
you smoker" was asked. Hams"
was his reply
We all like Sir Thomas. He is
rare bit of sunshine, and ideal
sportsman. He certainly chooses a
clever way of advertising his teas,
WHICH appeals to the admiration of
our country, alert and fertile as il
is in resources as to attractiveness
and eternal trumpet-blowing.
Meanwhile, my ladies fair may
carry his image in their hearts, but
cannot make him over into a Fall
costume; SO they will be interested
in hearing that new Fall materials
are highly satisfying, especially the
mannish mixtures for. tailor gowns.
Fringe or tassels will trim many Fall
garments. All coats and jackets
will be long, so fashion DEGREES; the
long skirted coat being especially
smart.
Among high class costumes shown
at Lord & Taylor's is handsome
novelty called zibeline broadtail--
should say broadtail zibeline. 1t
closely resembles the fur of the
baby lamb, and is exqusitely silky
in appearances. Several patterns
of 1t appear in MORE effects. An
other beautiful fabric for cloakinp
purposes is swansdown cloth with
real swansdown fluff woven upon
the surface. 1t is most artistic
weave, and suitable for an after
noon visiting costume.
Sleeves are growing larger all the
time, and fullness is increasing to-
ward the shoulders, while not di-
mlnishing toward the wrist. Capes
will probably be revive9 for Fall, in
! view OF these sleeves, which are not
easy TO tuck away into those OF a
jacket.
| Chiffon roses. cut.out cloth.work
on heavy net, chenille, pailettes,
| jewelled buckles and buttons, fringe,
silk braid and fancy ribbons will all
be used to trim evening gowns.
The prim cut of the prevailing
skirt especially around the hip,
renders long straight-front corset
indispensable. The peculiar and
highly adaptive construction of the
R. x G. corset has impressed it,
merits more indelibly than ever up.
on the modern mind feminine.
At fashionable Summer and Fal
resorts, the modish girl carries :
light green silk parasol, and wear,
white or tan shoes.

Large silk gauze or chiffon veili
drape the brlms of big hats with pic
turesque effect. Face wells are il
the minority.
Wide bracelets, such as our grand
mothers wore, are revived.
To be smart, lady must have a
least one sunburst skirt in her ward
robe.
