September.

The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gcntian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun.
In duskv pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And aStcrs by the brookside
Make asters in the brook
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here
With summers best of weather
Ana autumn'S best of cheer.

Gossip Concerning Materials aud Col
ors which viii BE Popular.
Voile is so soft and pretty that it is
no wonder it is so well liked. It now
bids fair to be among the very best
fabrics Of the season, though, to be
sure It is not altogether new. But
women are learning that it is better to
hold on to some things which have been
found desirable than to be always
seeking something entirely new. The
voiles are presented in all the season S
colorings and in white and black. This
gives them a wide range of usefulness
and adapts the material to almost any
requirement and any kind of trimming.
I have seen some voile gowns with vel
vet garnitures, others with lace, more
with set pieces of fancy braid and
still more with no ornamentation save
tuclxs or shirrs or some other kind Of
hand work There seems 10 be nothing
not adapted to this semidiaphanous
material. 1t is generally made over a
skirt Of taffeta either of the same or Of
contrasting color
But voile is difficult material to
manage, as it is so flexible, and the
amateur dressmaker is bound to be-
dew it with tears before it is done. l
think lace is the natural complement
of this pretty stuff, and the illustra-
tion shows how it may be effective
ly applied. The sleeves are short to
the elbows, and then comes a fall Of
three RULES Of lace hanging down well
over the wrist. The waist is in the
form of short bolero, and along the
front and around the neck is a notched
band Of fine white linen batiste, with
tiny white linen buttons in the notches.
1t makes quite a dainty trimming.

FIGHTING FOREST ElREs
Four Towns Saved From Destruction
After Hard Fight.

Plymouth, Mass, May 9.-One thou
sand men, including firemen, laborers
and volunteers, struggled with the for
est fire which, starting near here four
days ago. has extended into four
towns and shifted frequently with the
wind, has threatened first one settle
ment and then another.
The front of the fire extends two
miles, while its side lines reach back
six miles and is by no means under
control. Nothing but a heavy rain will,
the fire fighters say. permanently stay
the progress of the flames. The land
burned over includes valuable tracts
of timber and thousands of cords of
cut wood. Some small buildings have
been burned but the fire fighters,
aided by favorable winds, have saved
the villages near the fire zone. The
loss will be large. The villagers had
removed their household goods and
prepared for fight. An hours work,
however, saved the houses, though the
lawns about them had in the mean
time been burned black.

Home In North Carolina.

Durham. N. c., May Washington
Duke, the millionaire tobacco manu-
facturer and founder of what is now
the American Tobacco company, died
at his residence here after a protracted
illness at the age of S4 years. Some
months ago Mr.. Duke fell and broke a
limb and since that time had been

With him when he died were his three
sons, Brodie L. Duke, of Durham; ]. B.
Duke, president of the American To-
bacco company. of New York, and B. N.
Duke. also of New York
The career of Washington Duke is
remarkable in that he and his three
sons rose from poverty to the posses
sion of fortunes estimated at several
millions of dollars each within a period
of some 40 years. They began with the
manufacture of tobacco in a small way
in the country near Durham, where he
was born. Some years ago his plant
went into the American Tobacco COM
pany, J. B. Duke becoming president
of the new company.
