NOSTUMES for afternoon occa-
L sions exclude the ordinary,
somewhat severe walking cos
tune. They pre-suppose richer effects
in materials and decorations, more
delicate harmonies of color, an odd
wrap and handsome hat; yet the
sensible woman OF fashion does not
lose sight of the fact that gown and
mantle intended for a matinee, a
luncheon, an informal reception. or
even wedding, must be more or less
adapted for the street. 1t must be
quiet and elegant-eminently artistic,
rather than striking.

A costume effective in color, tone
and distinction of style that | noticed
at fashionable concert, was matrix
blue beige with moleskin and fancy
braid decorations. Matrix, by the
way, is the outer stone in which the
turquoise is embedded. It's color is
sort of deep greenish blue, with
broken black streaks. The gown in

question had a Russian blouse coat,
three-quarter length, with a moleskin
yoke, the pleats in the blouse corre-
spending to the pleats of the skirt, a
shaped circular hounce springing from
each side of the tablier front. Hand
some fancy braid of true matrix effect,
mixed blue and black, bordered the
skirt and outlined the fastening of the
blouse. The sleeve was novel. A
long, full-puff fell from the shoulders
and was caught above the wrist by a
band of moleskin. The cuff had an
inside trimming of braid. and was
twisted back to meet a series of gilt
bullet buttons. Button decorations
added touch of bright color to the
Russian belt. The suit was properly
completed by a turquoise blue felt
with fancy chenille of the same color
on the inside brim, and a wreath OF
white ostrich tufts.

CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 4.-Captain

returned from 20-months expedition
into Central Africa. He is well and
hearty, in spite of the hardships which
he was forced to undergo. He started
from Bombasa in January, 1902, his
object being to find the fve-horned
giraffe. In this he was successful, al
though there were many times when
he was almost ready to give up, SO hard
and long was the search.

Gus being long drawn-out battle with
savage Dodingoes. These sayages he
describes as magnificent specimens OF
men, the finest savages he has ever
seen. They are, however, hostile and
belligerent tribe, and on one occasion
attacked his camp. The attack was
unsuccessful, as was the siege which
lasted for several days, with frequent
attempts to rush the camp. The natives
were, however, taught the superiority
of the modern rife and were finally
driven off after they had suffered Sc,
we're losses. Two of Captain Powell
Cotton's men were killed and several
wounded.
