clined to say that for street wear, no. For afternoon and evening affairs the spangled thin black waist will ap- pear; and by the way, waist Of this kind is a valuable portion of almost any woman's wardrobe-but there are some that never, never should put on the somber black, it makes them look aged and sallow and forlorn. The many, however, can wear fused up sheer waist. and the plump, fair wom- an can do no better than invest in one with a detachable yoke; wear the blouse decollette for formal affairs, for evening at theaters or restaurant and for afternoon reception, make use of the high neck.
 A very fetching costume lately came to my notice. It was of Alice blue cloth, fine and smooth, the skirt ac- cordion pleated and hanging full and untrimmed. The jacket was short and tight fitting, the hat turban trimmed with dash of scarlet. Another blue costume I liked even better; one of bluette taffeta, with a waist of the , same. Worn with this was along red ingote of black taffeta, lapels embroid- cred in blue and the turnover collar of blue taffeta. The hat matched the costume, being of black with trimming of blue plumes. It was quietly ele- gant, a reposeful ensemble.
 White, once banished so completely from woman's neckwear, is in highest favor, and is immensely becoming. White Vs are introduced back and front of waist at the neck, white vests are worn, much white flufiness. Black velvet is as becoming as the white fluffiness, and it also is well to the fore. By the way, we may mention here a beautiful cloak but so luxurious as not to be had by the average woman, not meant for daily needs. It is made of strips of velvet ribbon of richest black alternating with cream inser- tion; of three-quarters length and the sleeves voluminous, the wrap is of gen. erous aspect.

long time in winning acceptance here. The small and medium sized shapes will be worn the coming season. and doubtless the picture hat will adorn the head of many girl that thinks she is of the Gibson class. We are repeatedly told that the picture hat is banished, and repeatedly we see it waving its wreathed plumes. We noticed one the other day that seemed to fit well with the costume and wearer thereof; the gown was a black and white striped silk, the effect really gray; girdle, ruehe. and hat were black. It was Frenchy and becoming, relieved by a square neck and sleev- puffs of creamy lace.

A SULTAN'S SUNDAY
THE CEREMONY OF sRLAMLIK
 A RIGID CUSTOM.
Sultan Must Go to Public Prayer Once Week - Leaves His For
 tress Only for Visit
 to Mosque.

Whether or no, the sultan of Turkey must go to church on the Turkish Sunday, though step outside his pal ace retreat is fraught with danger. The Turkish Sunday falls on our Friday, and for several hundred years 1t has been the rule for the sultan on that day to enter public mosque to per form his deVotions.
 The custom originated, so we are told, in 1861, in the reign of Murad I. The ruler was unable to give evidence in a case concerning one of his favor ties because the Koran forbids anyone to be witness in a religious court of justice who has not appeared in com mon prayer at the mosque. To get around this obstacle, Murad at once set forth in great state to public prayer, and the custom of Selamlik was established for future sovereigns.
 Only the Selamlikand a yearly visit to the Chamber of Noble Garments calls the sultan from his palace fort ress. Sick or well, safe or in danger, the "lord of two continents and two seas" must bend to the will of his people and present himself of Sun day at the mosque. Emma Paddock Telford, in most interesting article in the Brooklyn Eagle, gives as her opinion that if the sultan were to fail to perform his public rites riot would ensue, the whole Mussulman world feeling that each individuals petitions is being offered through the caliph as he bows in devotion. And the writer refers to Mahmoud, son of Mustapha who was forced to perform one of the devotions whilst in mortal illness Rouged to cover his pallor, dragged to a seat on his horses back, he managed to get through the ceremonies, but died as he was leaving the Seraglio gates.
 It is most picturesque scene that is enacted in the picturesque city of Con- stantirople when the sultan goes forth to the mosque which, in his fear he built near one of the entrances of the palace
 The getting ready for the event is as fine a scene as the procession and the observer finds of greatest interest the

lady pay less and less attention to coat and jacket of the same material. Which makes for economy as we'll as variety.
 The three-piece suit is attractive to so many that it will remain in vogue for some time, and very good models are being shown; the skirts, for morn- ing wear, short enough to escape the ground, the waist of silk, the coat and length one may choose very short and of Eton style, long and plain, or a basqued affair with fancy waistcoat. Skirts for dressy wear are long but without a train.
 Broadcloth will continue in fashion, and this is a material, if the color is right, that can be worn at any hour of the day. Colors now, rather than stuffs, seem to determine whether or not a costume is dressy. A rose col ored broadcloth answers the purpose for a gown on which many demands are to be made, although it has the drawback of being conspicuous, both wearer and observers the sooner grow ing weary of it.
 The perfectly plain circular skirt is the thing, but it takes an artist to make it hang well. set just right; when the perfection is attained there is nothing better to be had in the way of skirt. The upper part of the cos tune bears the trimmings, we shall have again this year the rich, con trasting vest, the revers, the fancy collar.
 Blue keeps its popularity, probably because it is the least trying of col. ors. Cream color is well liked, and the use of bit of black or bit of white about dress. The question as to whether black will be fashionable in itself, is hard to answer; we are in

Peace and Prosperity Results of an
 EventfuI Week.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-R. c. Dun X Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Peace and prosperity succinctly ex- press the results of an eyentful week. International mercantile markets re- sponded to the cessation of hostilities, and a period of commercial develop ment may be expected to follow the re turn of confidence. Capital that had been diverted into bellicose channels will be used for construction instead of destruction, and the United States will secure stronger hold on the mar kets of the orient. Domestic reports were scarcely less encouraging.
 Leading branches of manufacture are increasing productive capacity, especially in departments, pertaining to railway equipment. Textile mills have little idle machinery, footwear factories are running freely, while in structural work there is no evidence of lessening activity Visiting buyers still throng the great jobbing centers and place orders for distant delivery that testify to faith in vigorous de mand from consumers.
 Western receipts of 5,010,609 bushels of wheat compare with 5,770,351 last year, and exports from all ports of the United States were 1,0S3.515 bushels, flour included, against 1,445,625 in the same week of 1904. Interior arrivals of 4,002, $40 bushels of corn compare with 4,1O0,630, and Atlantic coast ex- ports were 719,9s0 bushels against 519,. PAS.

 SN dresses are putting on ruff SSI fles, going in for airy noth-

 Over in London they are putting forth befrilled shirt-waists. As yet these waists have not appeared here, but it is safe to say they will land ere long.
 A pretty turquois-blue silk waist that was designed for a card party, had in its makeup something less than five yards of silk and something over 20 yards of lace. It was fashioned with suspenders of the taffeta. and both waist and straps were edged with frills, very narrow and full.

A good authority makes declaration that me taIlic colors will be much worn. and metallic, trimmings much in vogue.
