Paris has ever been the home of cor
rect ideas in mourning, but it must be
confessed that the fair Parisienne leans
rather to the spectacular in her gowns.
Hitherto she has swathed herself in

however, there is quite revolution and
the somber all-black gown is relieved
with much white. Indeed, except for
close bereavement, white appears on
even the first mourning gowns; and the
succeeding ones are fashioned from all
and silks being considered quite within
the pale Of mourning wear.
AS the mourning ightens, clever
touches Of white are introduced. A

white lace that has the pattern touched
up with black and silver COUGHING
threads; and the drop skirt has a
multitude of pinked ruffes all in gray
with embroidered polka dots in white
and lavender and edged with ruching of
black, white and lavender malines.
| The shiny black shoes are considered
just as correct for mourning as fol-
other wear, and the shiny silks, the tat
fetas, louisines, the surahs, the satin
messalines and lumineux, are all consid
cred mourning whether trimmed with
Grape or not. Indeed, the vogue OF
Grape is distinctly on the decline, and
when it is used it is manipulated in just
as -fussy and as dressy fashion al
possible. Little shaped volants OF
Grape are edged with laces,, the heavier
kinds prevailing; and they are likewise
seen with scalloped and embroidered
edges that take much away from the
stiff appearance that characterizes the
fabric.

MRS. EMMA EWING, ts'7HE BREADMAKKR'
The Famous Cook Is Spending the Fall
with Her Sister in Minneapolis, and
Was Found Preserving Peaches-A
Dyspeptic Husband Was Responsible
for Her Interest in Domestic Science.

The world owes a debt to Mrs, Emma
! ing, for if II had not been for Mr.. Ew-
ing and his dyspepsia, Mrs. Ewing
would never have become "the fore
most breadmaker in the country" Mr..
and Mrs. Ewing are spending. the fall
in Minneapolis, with Mrs. Ewing's Sis
ter, Mrs. D, A. Kennedy, and when the
famous cook was seen yesterday, she
was not making bread but preserving
peaches. And the delicious odor of
those peaches made the visitor prompt
ly erect an air castle in which the table
would always groan under a crusty loaf
and a dish of golden peaches bathed
| In amber syrup.
Mrs. Ewing looks like breadmaker
capable, hospitable and comfortable
and she set her kettle of peaches or

Mrs. Mayer is niece of the secre-

Hungarian leader Kossuth, and she was
born and reared in Warsaw. She was
graduated from college in her native
city at the age Of 10 and received a

received also another distinction, for
she was appointed a teacher in the col

in a Russian government school.
It was after her marriage to an Aus

New Burnt Tints.

There is a perfect Juror for all Of
the new burnt tints. Indeed, run
down the color card makes the student
of fashions think Of a very careless
cook, 50 many tints have got burnt or
orange and burnt onion; burnt ivory
and scorched leather, and burnt umber
puncture the gamut of tints from the
palest ecru to the deepest brown; and
the smoked tints, as a logical sequence,
bring up the rear. It all sounds like a
newspaper account of a fire; and the
phrase "a fire in paint shop comes
irresistibly to mind when viewing the
color card that the French manufac-

There has Of late years developed a |
decidedly distinct and different class of
styles for children; and, indeed, the
juniors may now be said to have fash
ions that are all their own.
Capes and cape effects make a very
smart addition to their coats this fall.
Most Of them are adjustable, ndfasten
on beneath a turnover collar with snap
fasteners, SO that it is but the work Of
a moment to take them off.
Then there are those nautical coats,
exaggerated REFERS, that are known as
the MILDLY, coat. They come below the
quarter size as we'll. The broad sailor
collar with an adjustable shield is the
leading feature Of these; and the moth
er who dresses her brood in sailor style
a very fashionable mode with the
mothers abroad-will welcome the top
the rest of the wardrobe. Jaunty sailor
caps, either to match the coat or suit,
or else in shiny black leather, are the
correct accompaniment for the sailor
suit; and ulp-to-date9 youngsters are hav-
ing the ribbons edged with a narrow
gold braid, and the name of their state
battleship embroidered in brilliant gold
thread across the front.
There are, also swagger full-length
coats modelled exactly after the over

privates in the ranks, mind you, but the
highest officers patterns are levied
upon for ideas and designs. These
are of military plainness as to cut, but
with full military gorgeousness of scar
let and gold braid as trimmings, and
the brass bullet buttons are beautifully
besprinkled over them. Epaulettes are
made the medium Of much elaboration,
and the cuffs follow suit.
What is known as the made hat is
perhaps the most popular; and for this

coming to almost any youthful face.
These are in velvet and velveteens-
as soft and as light in weight as the
finest silk velvet-and occasionally in
the fine chiffon cloths. The brim is
that either matches the hat exactly or
makes some pleasing contrast. The os-
cillating stitch of the sewingmachine
is this season one of the best trim
ming effects, not only for the little
girls hat, but for every item in her
leather is used on the coat, as it SO
often is in the form of collar, cuff, belt
or pipings, then the chat will show a
leather band or strap to correspond.
For dress there are those large, flop
py,, beaver flats that never go out Of

smooth nap that brushes like man IS

bons is the only permissible trimming
for the child whose years are still short
of dozen. Even ostrich plumes are
not considered sufficiently simple for
the little girl, and they are to be re-
served for her older sister.
The latest fad has the hair ribbon
to match that of the hat. That quaint
side still continues, and care must be
taken to see that the ribbon is one

SUBSTITUTE FOR POT-POURRI.

These are the latest fashionable substi-

things, with their sweet scent and curious
appearance, are nothing more nor less
than Seville oranges stuck all over with
cloves, the cloves placed so close together
that scarcely glimpse of the orange skin
can be seen. They are being sold in fash

and boudoir, while many smart women
place them among their linen instead Of
