Foreshadows of Autumn Hucs.

In color combinations there is now
colors in the same applique, rather
than two colors and several tones Oh
the same color as heretofore. Just
touch of gold tinsel is seen on many Oh
these, but only touch, so that the re-
suit is never garish.
Aluminium is now being used in TN
sci embroidery combined with APP
plique trimmings in gray taneta, anu
as aluminium does not tarnlsh ana Is
very light in weight, ii is invaluable.
Flower designs still predominant IN
the applique designs, taffetas ana the
other soft and lustrous silks being
used.
In colors for the coming autumn
royal blue is predicted as leader
abroad, while in this country the shaae
termed Inauguration blue is to De
much-used color. Greens in myr1le'
reseda and other dark shades Will De
fashionable. but browns will fall De-
hind their run of last year, while the
dark shades of plum, purple and KIN
dred hues are being manufactured In
quantities.
All these indications from manufac-
turers show which way the wind Will
blow, for whatever fashion might wish
to dictate she is obliged to use the
fabrics in the market, and these are
always manufactured at least SIX
months ahead of their use, sometimes
a year.

Decoration for BIouses.

For. our blouses to be seen at their
best 1t behooves us to provide them
with fresh and attractive neckwear,
since on neckwear to a large extent
depends their success. Beginning
with neckwear for the simple shirt
waist or shirt, as the English term
1t, there is new turnover collar, some
three inches deep, of canvas linen,
embroidered with spot. Beneath
this is passed band OF chameleon
ribbon or plain glace silk, fastened
with a rosettelike knot in front, high
up against the collar, and the ends,
which are plated, are knotted few
inches below the neck, and end in fan
like flutes.
Rainbow ribbons are used for :, SIM
liar purpose; the knot and ends are
formed of two soft ribbons in different
colors. A hem-stitched border to the
collar sometimes introduced shows
glimpses of the band of ribbons pass
ing beneath; and, again, these en-
broidered canvas collars are In vari-
GUS instances pierced with wide but
tonholes in front, and tied with the
ribbons, which, as before. are arranged
in the fashion of rosettes.

Zeney nodded. and pointed to

This the former did, leaving the
door ajar.
Nato. now a tail. wiry lad Of six

had seated himself upon the steps,
but too far away to catch the con-
versation between LATTE and Zeney,
even had they spoken in a language
he understood.
But he watched them with curious
eyes, having often heard OF Zeney;
and her reputed powers served to
make her an object of awe and aver
sion to him, as to most Of his class.
It was, therefore, with sigh Of re-
lief that he saw her disappear, after
his master had gone inside.
He remained sitting on the steps,
his chin supported by two yellow
palms, while group Of young negroes

The travelling Gown.

A soft shade of rose-pink Sicilienne
is selected for the travelling gown,
and the coat bodice is fashioned with
ali open front, filled in with low-cut
waistcoat of pique that may be re-
moved instanter. There is smart
little cape collar effect over the
shoulders the sleeve is one of those
fluffy elbow-length models with lace
ruffles. and deep rose-red velvet rib
bon is relied upon to make the touch
of color contrast that the present
mode demands. The skirt is plain, ex-
cept for shaped scant volant of vel
vet applied above the deep hem, shir-
rings adjusting the fit.

The Island Rose had heard the
greater part of the document read In
her grandfather's voice, low, to be sure
but with a clear enunciation which
made each syllable as distinct as
though she had been the reader In

ended. she heard the voice OF him

Then came her grandfathers stern
ly cold reply:
What have l ever done, Captain
Jean LATTE, that should lead you TO
suppose l would stoop to traffic in the
blood of my associates
It was this that made the small
hand go futtering toward the girls
frightened heart 1t was the revela-
ton that her Captain Jean was none
other than LATTE, the terrible pirate,
of whom she had heard such dreadful
tales. He was the freebooter, SNUG
gler and outlaw-the leader OF that
fearful band of men she had shud,
dered to hear the slaves mention!
And not only was her grandfather cog
infant of this, but he was this mans
abettor-his associate and friend!
Her brain in whirl, her heart terri
fed by dread Of an undefinable terror,
she fed from the house. and into the
woods, wandering. on, scarcely know
ing or caring where, until her steps
were arrested by the matted thicket
into which she had penetrated with
unseeing eyes.
Now all was revealed to her. The
man whom of all others she trusted
in this new, strange, and fettered
world into which she had been brought
from the peaceful island home, where
life had been happy, and free from
fear-he was the notorious LATTE,
the pirate of the Gulf" who scuttled
ships. who murdered men and women,
and whose hands were red with blood,
shed that he might plumber his vic
tins.

GREAT AUTHOR At PLAY.
Interesting "reminiscences Of One Who
Knew Hawthorne,

Knew Hawthorne.
Mrs. Sedgwick, in "A Girl of Six
teen at Brook Farm" gives little
sketch of Hawthorne which shows him
in a pleasant and merry light, although
in general, she acknowledges, the
great author was silent, almost tacit-
urn. One day she was learning verses
to recite at the evening class formed
by Charles A. Dana, when, seeing
Hawthorne sitting immovable and sol
itary on the sofa, she daringly thrust
the book in his hands.
"Will you hear me say my poetry,
Mr.. Hawthorne" ! said.
He gave me sidelong glance from
his very shy eyes, took the book and
most kindly heard me. After that he
was on the sofa every week to hear
me recite.
One evening he was alone in the
hall. sitting on a chair at the farther
end, when my roommate and were
going upstairs. She whispered to me-:
Lets throw sofa pillow at Mr..
Hawthorne
Reaching over the banisters, we
each took a pillow and threw 1t.
Quick as fash he put out his hand.
seized a broom that was hanging near
him, warded of our cushions and
threw them back with sure aim. AS
fast as we could throw them he re.
turned them with effect, hitting us
every time, while we could only hit
the broom. He must have been very
quick in his movements.
Through it all not word was spok.
en-. We laughed and laughed, and his
eyes shone and twinkled like stars,
until we went of to bed vanquished.

Beautiful; Blouses.

Surplce-cut blouses, leaving the
throat bare or worn with transpar
ent guimpe and collar Of lace, are liked
for summer frpcks, but though charm
ing they are not so youthful as the
blouse frilled to some sort of yoke and
fastening in the back and they should
be reserved for the older girls. Here
again we often find very heavy en-
broidery. applique or band insertion
bordering the surplice, while the rest
of the frock is trimmed lightly and
fluffy in valenciennes insertion and
edging. Heavy embroidery insertion
scalloped on both edges and with val
enciennes frills bordering the scallops
is liked for the surplice borders and
may be used, too. upon the sleeve and
as heading for skirt flounces.
