A WASHABLE WAIST.

a modish outing costume for the fall
girl, who is reluctant to give up the COM
fcrtable fabrics of summer for the thick
heavy cloths of winter. But in our land
of Indian summer, for many weeks yet
one can cling to thin outdoor wear, and
no time of the year do we feel more like
following the modern injunction that
health demands few garments and
those unhampering.
Crepe de chine, a washable material
of beauty and richness. is excellently
employed in the waist shown in the IL
lustration. The design is simple, the
style depending on the good cut. The
stitching should be done in silk the
shade of the material. and girdle and
stock of panne velvet of like shade might
be added for dressy occasions. If any
lace is desired, use it sparingly, as the
fancy now is for little lace and that OF
very f1ne quarry.
White is persisted in during the fall

frozen to death. and though white has

Thick duck really is more suitable to the
crisp days of autumn than to hot summer
weather, looks more attractive. Serge
and mohair, too, now show to best ad-
vantage, and though the windows are
displaying furs and heavy cloth, above
stairs the tables are strewn with what
people are buying-left-over white cos
tunes, or separate skirts and coats. For
garden parties, and sometimes at church,
more elaborate white gowns are seen;
one of decided beauty, a white voLe,
made with sort of surplice waist, full
skirt and elbow sleeves, some cluny lace
showing about the neck and down the
front of the waist?
Many ladies are being tempted to in
dulge in a midseason hat of white felt,
and the all-white costume, for both shoes
and hose match, makes even an elderly
person look youthful. The white felt
hats are round, rather low-crowned, and
trimmed with feathers or pompons in
military style. They look appropriate
with merely outing costume, and are
not at all out of place with a fancier
gown.
In the windows the Write hats are
perched side by side with light-colored
ready-to-wears. whose trimmings show
the shades that are to be fashionable
later on. These shades are at once bril-
liant and soft; emerald, orange, copper
and cockscomb, the three latter promis-
ing to have no small vogue. AS for
millinery materials, chenille will again
be popular, shaded and plaid effects will
be worn. A beautiful imported hat of
cockscomb velvet is harmony of sew
eral tones, the under brim of plain vel
| vet. the upper showing glimpses Of
taffeta of a lighter coloring, and the bunch
of tips constituting the trimming of a
still lighter shade. Jet, steel and gold
glitter individually on the fall hats, and
embroidered bands will decorate the
and pretty one, is to have the hat brim
faced with fancy ribbon that blends with
the material of which the hat is COM
posed; for instance, a dark blue velvet
hat is faced with MORE ribbon of hya-
cinth blue-carrying out the color
schemes so liked this summer.
Fashions in neck wear change tire
somely fast, but there are two new
| styles deserving mention. One is linen
| stock which opens in front and is fas-
tened by Windsor tie that passes
| through buttonholed slit at either side
near the front The second collar re-
ferred to is lay-down collar made OF
three rows of fine insertion and edged
with frill of narrow lace; a piece OF
inch-wide velvet ribbon passes under
the collar at the back, and fastens in
front in a four-in-hand, falling about
| to the waist line.

bodice, of velvet ribbon. The sole wolfe
lends itself admirably to the full skirt,

In fact, some of the dancing frocks are

girls the effect is good and the style
becoming to some of the elders. Efforts
are made to have skirts full not only at
the bottom but also at the top, but so far
the efforts have not been successful, the
general becominness of close fit at the
hips making my lady slow to adopt full
ness in the upper portion of the skirt,
though welcoming each additional quar-
ter-yard below the knee. To allow of
the increased fullness there, godets are
sometimes set in and this year there is
almost an exaggerated flare.

THE ferry-boat, "Rappahannock,"
L had an experience in the winter
of 1873 that will never be forgotten by
any of her passengers.
During one of her regular trips be-
tween New York and Brooklyn this
boat suddenly quilted her respectable,
though somewhat monotonous, career,
and became common tramp, without
port or destination.
The day awoke in fog such as the
oldest inhabitant had never SEEN The
East river was blocked with ice and
soon became shrieking bedlam of
cropping and bewildering craft, whose
pilots could scarcely see their hands
before their faces.
At half past nine the ''Rappahan-
nock'' left Brooklyn, we'll laden with
passengers, and started on her GUS
tomary trip almost directly across the
rivera very short and unusually easy
voyage. Before even reaching the mid
die of the stream, however, the ice
and fog had thrown her completely
out of her course. Back and forth, up
and down stream, the pilot vainly
CROPPED, amid the shrieking whistles,
ringing of fog bells, and loud crash of
ice boulders, until, in the confused
clangor, he had entirely lost his bear
ings.
When, after long and perilous bat
Ting with ice jams and many hair
breadth escapes from collisions he sud-
denly sighted the landing place on the
New York side, he found it occupied
by sister boat, which had been driven
there to avoid destruction. He backed
out, only to be lost again, and for
three hours this boat, now become a
mere tramp, wandered aimlessly up
and down the East river with it's load
Of excited passengers, whose emotions
ranged anywhere between the rage
and Impotence of the belated Wall
Street speculator, to whom the delay
might mean loss of $4,000, to the
hysteria of nervous little woman
who had left her baby at home, and
who begged the other helpless passen-
gers for the love of Heaven to help
her set her feet once more on land
Between these two extremes of i'm
patience and excitement was a small
proportion of passengers who remained
calm, even endeavoring to while away
the time by exchanging pleasantries
and making wagers as to the time of
their deliverance. Among these was

having read and reread the morning
