Fruit in Peat Ripened to Maturity.


What is considered a highly important
discovery has Just been made in the matter
Of the shipment OF fruits. 1t Is believed that
a solution has finally been found Of the prob
lem OF transporting delicate tropical fruits
long distances.
The experiments have been made by
French company under the auspices OF
the French Government. The shipments
have been made from Guiana and the island
OF Guadeloupe. in the Lesser Antilles. ~
France. and the outcome is declared most
satisfactory.

Of peat or turf. that. namely. which Is known
as yellow Dutch peat. Pineapples, bananas.

Peat. rs is known. is vegetable matter
more or less decomposed, which passes nv

has for some time, been known. possesses a
decided and powerful antiseptic property;
This is ascribed TO the presence OF gallo acid
and tannin. 1t is manifested not only In
the, perfect preservation OF ancient trees.
and OF leaves. fruits and the like, but some-
times even of animal bodies. Thus in some
instances. human bodies have been found
perfectly preserved in peat, after the lapse N
centuries.

novelties for receptions and opera matinee
dresses. And opera clothes are essential
this year. for the opera is popular. Women
90 to the opera to see one another's pretty
clothes, much as they go to the horse show.
Hence opera clothes are Of importance,
and the price Of the opera box la only one
small reason why father dislikes music.
Brown Valenciennes lace lie the newest
material for gowns Of this kinda rich
chestnut brown made over the dullest
olive brown. The skirt is full, with deep
full Spanish fiounce footed with double
ruffie OF crepe de chine and a narrow ruffie
to head it.
This frock shows the fad this season Of
combining different sorts Of laoes, fine and
heavy, silk and wool and in different colors
or shades The blouse Of brown valenci-
ennes has a yoke Of rich brown corded
guipure, a puff Of corded silk forming Q
wavy outline to the yoke.
The sleeve Is double puff TO the elbow,
ending in chiffon full ruff,es. The stock is
OF white lace, with brown crepe de chine
and knotted scarf, the girdle OF Crepe dc
chine, with knotted scarf ends.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-10-09

At the foot Is the usual full puff Of the
same material, two inches wide. then above
are two rows OF medallions, set In alternate
clusters Of two. The medallions are wheels
OF chenille couohed on black gauze, the
chenille In yellow. brown, autumn green
and cream shades, oircled round with two
inch ruffles Of silk. The lower SUGGESTIONS
Of groups OF two are twice the size Of the
upper. This is a new and very popular
trimming.
Nearly all the lace or embroidery medal
lions and stars are set on with circles Of
putting or with rufles or circular folds
thus gaining an elaborate effect by very
simple, inexpensive means.
But as to the autumn color frock. There
Is full blouse opening over vest Of ohe-
mile on gauze and yoke tucked, and an
imitation eton which is gained by rows Of
puffs. The sleeves are two puffs to elbow,
and then band of deep chrysanthemum
brown velvet.
The girdle is bound with velvet. The
high stock for stocks are very high again,
is Of chenille work with velvet binding.

hat Is cavalie. gray with rose wings.
Gray is charming for these semi-dressy
gowns in all It's tints from oyster shell to
pavement gray. A rich, graceful gown
OF dark gray chiffon velvet keeps de-
lightfully quiet harmony by trimming
Of lace dyed exactly to match. There are
two bands Of wide scalloped lace insertion
set in the skirt carrying most elaborate
decorations Of cords Of shirred silk and vel
vet. Indeed the lace is half lost under the
OF cords and small silk flowers.
The sleeves are very short, with a top
pun OF lace, trimmed, velvet puff and
white lace frill. The waist has a deep
pointed front and a yoke Of white lace
covered with passementerie Of crystal in
gray, cream and mother Of pearl beads
The blouse Is Of velvet, with rosettes Of
silk and passementerie trimming.
For a SNOWY opera matinee dress, or to do
honor at debutante's first tea, there is
very rich gown OF white silk net. The full
skirt IN deliberately trimmed with hand en-
broidery in Persian oolors-pale pink,
blue. green and gold thread Panels OF
narrow lace insets run down into the en-
broidery, ending in lace and crochet medal
lions. The bottom Of the skirt is bound
with blue silk
There is painted blue liberty silk bodice,
net blouse and blue liberty Eton ending
in the back with smart little Directoire
ooattails. The eton lapels are trimmed
with lace and medallions.
The sleeves Of silk are pulled down four
inches and then fare out in pointed ruffie,
lace trimmed, half way between shoulder
and elbow. The net is lined with blue
chiffon.
Occasionally even these cratic full gowns
cannot escape being graceful. OF soft
materials, over clinging lining with no
bunchy trimming, the fulness only gives
opportunity for artistic folds and grace
full outlining Of the figure.
A London gown Of Japanese plum crepe,
is an excellent example of how far PERSONAL
taste can control fashion and convert eccen-i
tricity into an expression Of individual
grace. A very full skirt of this most delicatet
clinging fabric Is trimmed with fat folds'
put on In waving lines. All the fulness,
is plated closely about the girdle, which
Is Of q very deep plum satin.
A blouse Of palest violet tinted chiffon Is
half hidden by a plated eton hanging like
the sepals Of flower over the soft blouse.
There Is a passementerie band about the
low round neck Of the Eton. Tho elbow
sleeves Of violet tinted chiffon are banded
with plum satin.
With this costume is worn black hat with
roll brim, with white tulle and aigrettes.
This gown is beautiful enough to be in
fashion as long as it may wear

THE BABY HANSON.
In the Newest Carriage the Mother May
Either Trundle or Carry Her Child.

Either Trundle or Carry Her Child.
"The latest thing in baby carriages, Z"
said dealer, lis not carriage or a 60
cart, but baby hanson. That is not the
manufacturers name for it, but describes
1t better than any other name.
This new baby carryall is mighty cute
/ think, and 1t has advantages that no
other infant vehicle enjoys. Every man
who has pushed one of the old-fashioned
carriages or even one Of the newer go-carts
knows they are somewhat cumbersome.
THE new baby hanson is not. 1t takes
up little space and can be pushed or pulled
or carried.
Baby is strapped in it just as you would
strap baby in a miniature hanson There
Is cushioned seat large enough for two
year-old child and the youngster can ride
looking forward or looking backward.
That all depends on the person who fur
nishes the motion.
The best part Of this new cart, how
ever, is that 1t can be conveniently carried
when one wants to carry it, The baby
still retains its seat and is more comfortable
than when held in nurses arms. The
handle can be 80 manipulated by turning
a spring that it is like the handle Of an ordi-
nary basket.
when this baby cart is carried in this way
the two rubber tired wheels disappear from
sight, and to all intents and purposes the
baby Ia being carried in a basket and moth
THESE hansoms are bound to become
popular when mothers see how useful
they are. Why, l saw a woman carry one

parcel or q dress suit case.
Every other woman in that car rub
bered at the new carriage, and it was q good
safe bet that none of them ever saw one
like 1t before. When that woman and
her basket baby got out on the platform
she just touched a spring and made cart
out OF the basket.
She pushed II to the station stairs and
In an instant was carrying 1t down stairs
just as easily AZ she would have carried
her suit case. Once on the street
again she had her cart.
THAT was comfort, and ! guess that
mother knew it. To the parents Of fat
and heavy babies this new hanson is going
to prove a boom
