FASHION IN READING.
How the English Woman Makes Up
Arrears.

From the London Mail.
Great boxes Of books are going up to Scot
land and the shooting moors now, addressed
to the chateIaines Of historic houses. They
are not inended to augment the resources
of the library or to amuse guests of lit
erary proclivities upon days of storm and
rain, but are destined for the particular
pursuit of the hostess herself in her own
boudoir.
The very exacting duties of the London
season make the pleasure of keeping up
their pursuit of literature an impossibility
to many women. It may be practicable to
dip into the latest novel when 1t makes its
appearance during the few leisure moments
that are sandwiched between a busy Lon
don hostess day, but to devote any time
to serious reading is quite impossible. Num-
bers Of Biographies, books OF travel and OF
science, delightful memoirs and interesting
poems must go unread. unless the modern
plan of saving them up for September Is re-
sorted to. as 1t very generally is now.
This resource Is the established custom
Of one very exalted parsonage who is de-
voted to literature and whose sympathies
are so wide that no good novel ever escapes
her perusal. It Is her custom to keep in
little book throughout the earlier months
Of the year a carefully compiled list OF
novels. works of travel. memoirs, autobi-
read, and these her bookseller forwards to
her in her Highland home for her delecta-
ton during the autumn. AS this princess

but those of Germany, Italy and France.

she is to maintain her acquaintance with
the writer's OF the day 1t Is not sufficient
for her to have a miscellaneous collection
of novels and serious works forwarded to
her in the country. For these, though they
may afford her a certain amount of rec
reation. will not further her aims of self
education, to accomplish which task is the
aim of the modern seeker after enlighten-
ment. who holds the view that education
only ceases with life itself.
One woman makes speciality Of reading
all the works of all the leading novelists
in Europe, and her task Is no light one;
another gives works of fiction a secondary
place. and devotes herself to travel; while
to the third form of literature appeals
so successfully as those volumes of clever
causerie that SO often appear, and prove
so useful as the subject of conversation.

FALL FASHIONS.
Princess Design to Be Used for the
Street.
MARY DEAN.

Street.
From the Pilgrim.
For fall wear the tailor gown is the first
one needed. and, as usual, there are vari-
GUS designs. 1t is probable that skirts will
be short for rainy weather and morning
wear, while those for occasions of more
consequence will be longer. The newest
skirt is circular in design and the long,
tight-fitting coat is worn with these. SIM
plicity is the keynote of all the designs
simplicity of lines; for trimmings continue
to he used. but less elaborate in effect.
Among the very new models princess
street frocks are seen These are not al
ways in one piece many of them being
made in two pieces-the long princess tunic
and round skirt. the tunic reaching nearly
to the bottom OF the skirt. With these
frocks, wraps and jackets are not to be
worn, excepting fur boas and capes.
The princess skirt is shown in many new
designs, and various materials are used.
Some of these skirts are plated and others
cut in cores. close fitting at the waist and
hips, spreading well at the foot line. These
skirts are often trimmed with braids, but
comes a very pleasant change from the
elaborate belts and gathered skirts. The
thin woman. with her small waist and mod
crate hip, can appear at her best In the
corselet skirt while her too thin arms and
shoulders are prettily decorated and f1uffed
out in any style she peases for the point
about this skirt is the contrast between the
figure from the bust downward and from
the bust upward; unless the corselet skirt
be a severe model. Even then it is gener-
ally completed by little, gracefully cut
coatee. 1t is a mode which looks equally
well for the most morning Of morning
frocks and the fullest of evening gowns
1t is very becoming to large, but still shape
ly figures. and the really good form looks
its very best in this style.

Millinery for Widows.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harpers Bazaar.
The latest news from Paris IS that bon
nets, even with a widows mourning, are
not considered correct except for really ell
derby women. A round hat, somewhat on
the turban shape, set over the face, is used
instead This hat Is made OF bias folds OF
crepe. To II is fastened the veil, but not in
the old fashion of stif folds hanging down
the back Nor is the veil OF the present
day of crepe as it used to be. 1t is made Of
silk mousseline and has only a border Of
crepe 1t is draped loosely over the hat.
and is so arranged that while more than
one-half of its length hangs down the
back-sometimes nearly to the hem of the
skirt-the front is left so that II may be
worn back over the head or dropped down
over the face.
These wells of mousseline and the silk
grenadine ones that are worn also with a
crepe edge are not so heavy or 80 warm g
crepe, and so are preferred.

Arrangement of Ostrich Plumes.

When a moderately long ostrich feather
is shown as a trimming 1t is more often
than not attached to the crown and al
lowed to sweep over the back of the hat.
1t is so with the long feathers adjoining
a. felt hat, the brim of which is somewhat
capriciously waved in soft gentle curves.
Felt and feathers are both of a deep rich
purple red. and also the double band of
MORE and satin ribbons that enriches the
crown and is tied in front in a careless
bow at the foot of the feather. But the
different textures exhibit the colors In slight
ly different shades.
Quite a different arrangement Is adopted
for capeline, the brim of which is turned
up vertically at the back. In this case two
half-long feathers are set against the up
turned back of the brim and their tips curl
forward over II.
