The Autumn Modes Of Paris

The cut-away Directoire coat is re-
viyed, worn with beautiful waistcoat.
The paletot in taffeta is a feature of the
early autumn; no doubt it will give place
later to velvets and brocades. Moire an
tique is being a great deal used both fol
day and evening wear.
Partisan couturieres are still making
fine Indian muslin frocks for young lead
ers Of society. Soft folds of muslin ano
Valenciennes lace are extremely becom-
ing. The skirts are gathered, pleated
and v~ariously adorned with quaint
ruches, entire deux of lace and beautiful
hand stitchery, for though bodices may
perhaps be getting more simple an6
sleeyes less voluminous, skirts are fuller
than ever. Soft fabrics, such as muslins,
certainly are at their bestin picturesque
styles which do not carry any particular
date.
The more costly examples of evening
dress will be composed of velvets and
silks, and many will be made with the
old Louis XVI. court bodice. This is a
distinct change from the dropping
pelerine effects, though these latter have
not yet disappeared. No doubt by the
time the leading designers have brought
ont their autumn models a happy COM
promise between the three distinct
styles Of the Louis XIV, XIV, and XVI.
periods will have beeen effected.

strikes the real note of variety and
novelty. OF course, the Viennese tailors
are selling furs and are making beautiful
cloth frocks for the early autumn and for
wear at sundry watering places. Green
and bronze seem the colors of the mo-
ment, and l understand that gray will be
popular; therefore, gray astrachan and
eray fox will be amongst the favorite
furs. hear, too, that ermine will be as
much in vogue as it was last year.
Some of the very fiat hats are still
trimmed with thick ruches of taffeta in
stead of flowers. The mushroom shape.
with a very large beefeater crown, in two
colors, is also worn.
As | have before told you, large checks
will be used by two or three leading
tailors. Red and white mixtures promise
to be received with favor. have al
ready seen an example; the skirt is OF
some rough fabric in red and white
check. and the sleeveless coat is OF dark
red cloth, finished with a rolled velvet
collar. There is something smart about
a plain cloth coat with a check skirt and
eloth strappings which evidently APP
peals to la belle Americana.

Lo, the poor actor!
There are some Thirty thousand of him

several to whose purses alone the adjec-

every year. Time was when there were
fewer players than there were parts for
them. This was in the days Of prejudice
against the stage and before schools of
acting began manufacturing geniuses
while they waited. A dozen terms of

So absolutely was this method carried
out in securing people to support Ada
Rehan that the fact that Miss Rehan was
to tour did not get out until after the
whole company had been engaged. Sam
Is. Shubert dug out of the recesses of his
memory the names of players whom he
thought would appear to advantage in
classic roles, and dictated notes asking
them to call on him. When the New

1=A stealthy tread gives place be-
fore we are aware to the first chill days
of winter. From the point of view OF
fashion we shall see undoubtedly a WIN
ter season remarkable for the choice in
picturesque dressing, for early Victorian
and Directoire modes have inspired al
most every notable style. Given asense
of becomingness and good taste, every
woman ought to be suitably and prettily
dressed. 10
The tight bodice, with a point front
ard back, is very popular again. but this
has in nowise deposed the blouse, the
varieties of which are as numerous as
the moods Of its wearers. The plain
morning shift of soft suede-lilte flannel
IS a sine qua non with the sheet walk
ing skirt, and smart little coat which has
a short basque, laqse fronts VITA a seam
running up the center of each, into the
shoulder. and fastening in Chesterfield
fashion; or else the coat is bui.t with an
inexpressibly smart effect wit& its plain
vest of contrasting material.
Vests both plain and ornate are a
prominent feature in tailor costumes,
particularly those of the Directoire or
der.
Undeniably the short skirt has come
to stay. 1t is endless in its variations of
pleats, tucks, aounces, and applied folds.
Tie most popular forms usually spring
into pleats at the hem, which treatment
gives the requisite flare round the feet.
Another type has a double and rather
wide box-pleat in the front width, and
a oleat in the back to correspond. When
the short skirt is quite unadorned. it sets
rather full round the waist, and falls in
soft lines TO the hem, where it is of full
and uniform length.

There is one thing about judge
Parker, the Democratic nominee for
president, which particularly btllers
the independent voter. He is said to
be "safe and sane" According to all
reports, which Mr.. Parker does net
deny, he voted for Bryan and Tree
silver IN 1896 and again in 1900, yet,
at the same time, he believed in gold
standard and honest money, He voted
for Bryan because he was the Demo-
cratic nominee. In other words, Judge
Parker votes for o Democrat because
he is a Democrat. regardless OF plat
form and what he believes to be the
best for the nation. Judge Parker
thereby places his love Of party before
his love of country. Is such a man
.'safe and sane" enough to be placed
in the presidential chair?

Had Mr.. Cutler been defeated, the
successful candidate would have ex-
pected his loyal support and that of
his following. Mr.. Cutler has the
right to expect the same from the
candidates whom he defeated. Poll
tics is game of chance in which
scheming and trIckery always wins.
The men who were defeated in this
convention pittcd their schemes
against the trickcry of the successful
candidate, and undoubtedly believed
they had a fair show VIII they now
prove SpOrtSmen of such a low order
as TO deliver a foul blow when beaten
at their own game and counted out?
If the defeated candidates and their
friends were not willing to abide by
the result of the convention they
should never have become partlci-
pants in it. They recognized the con-
ditions, believed themselves equal to
the occasion, and accepted the chal-
lenge, as it were. There can be no
reasonable excuse for a bolt on the
part of any participant in the State
convention. If church influence nom
mated Cutler land we deny it) IL was
only because that undue influence was
more farreaching than other undue
influence brought to bear by other
candidates and their friends, so
where's the righteous kick. This Is

The Real Issue

The prominence given to the Tariff
in the Democratic platform and the
open declaration in favor of Tariff
for revenue only, and against Protec-
tion, emphasizes the Importance OF
that issue, and affords ground for the
declaration by prominent public men
that this is the most important issue
OF them all.
But the real issue of the campaign
is not any one of these, and the ver-
dict of the people will not be given
upon any of them, though they may
all be considered. The question to be
judged by the people is that of Re-
publican performance versus Demo
cratic promise; Republican principle
versus Democratic inconsistency; Re-
publican success versus Democratic
failure.
Every one knows what the Republi-
cans have done in the administration
OF the government.
There Is no evidence that the Demo.
Gratis could do any better
