OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Frauds, Fashions and Finance.

Politics just lark, don't you know
just nightmare in the dark, don't you
know;
You PersPire all day aud night
And after all the frigh,
Why,-perhaps the wrong mans right,
don't you know %
This has been bitter fight, and
things are IN such a muddle that it
would be good thing TO have an.
other election day and take extra
and widespread precautions against
ballot box frauds. II all reports
be halfway true, a pretty consider
able proportion of New York's pop
ulation ought to be in Jail.
One of our big dailies pertinent.
ly remarks that, now the intense
and immediate excitement of the
election is over, the life insurance
probe should get busy again or
words to that effect. Between
frauds and high finance one finds
boundless opportunities for descant-
ing upon poor faulty human nature;
but shall restrict myself to fashion
safer subject for my sex to handle.
There is a regular Thanksgiving
quality in the air and we expect
every day to see snow fly. The
subject of furs is now in perihelion,
and when one thinks of furs one
naturally thinks of the best place
to buy them. c. c. Shayne is the
man par excellence, TO interview,
either in person or by letter on this
delightful subject. His magnificent
emporium on West 42nd street is
the repository for the choicest pelts
that we're ever placed upon any
market of any cline or country.
He has made the fur business his
life work, and those who have pur-
chases to make in this line can
count upon getting superlative
values.
Net and chiffon ball gowns will
be much in evidence, this winter.
They are particularly pretty for de-
butantes. There are also a num-
Der of transparent gauzes, embroid-
cred in colored ribbons or gold.
Chiffon velvet makes a good "stand
by" gown for the girl who goes out
a great deal, and, alternating fire.
quently with more perishable cos
tunes enables her TO get through the
season with less expense. Span
gled net makes a very effective
gown. Chiffon, of course keeps a
front seat. 1t is standard evening
fabric.
The pretty little silk and lace
opera bags so long in fashion have
given way to bead affairs done in
conventional or Empire designs.
They resemble generous z d
purses. The most recherche ones
have white ground work wrought
in gold bead work. Some are of
blue, showing lilies of the valley,
roses, forget-me- nots and other
blossoms done in colors to match
the costume.
White tulle, attached to high Golf
fure by a half wreath of orange
blossoms and falling quite to the
hem of the dress is undoubtedly the
most becoming form of bridal veil
as we'll as the least expensive, yet
every bride who can afford it "goes
in" for a real affair, this Fall. And
if it be m old family heirloom it is
all the more distingue.
A delightful gown and veil of real
duchesse lace, shown by Lord and
Taylor, shows circular skirt in rose
leaf and fern pattern over a drop
skirt of white tafeta. The white
taffeta bodice IS draw into
high ceinture and over it i.
worn bolero of lace. The veil
has centre OF net strewn here and
there with small fl overs and bord.
er of lace eighteen inches deep at
the lower edge, and graduating to a
width Of six inches at the top. The
sleeves are moderate in size.
White net waists are trimmed
with black, and vice versa.
