ON YEAR-RoUND DRESS.
Less and Less Difference Between the
Seasons and a Word About
Popularity of Silk.

Women of fashion are getting moro
and more away from the idea that
they must have one set OF cloth ng
for summer, and another and entire
ly different set for winter. Shirt
waists are worn all the year around:
shirt-vaist suits are becoming every
season; long coats can be donned win
ter and summer. providing ,hey are
neither too thin nor too hea y; and
one by one all the other articles Of
dress are being brought into the list
OF Ieady-all-the-year garments.
The taffeta fall waists are construct
ed to be worn in cold weather, and
many OF them are made up so that
they can be worn in the very dead OF
winter.
There are women who make up Q
handsome silk suit at this time, TAX
ing care that it conforms in all ways
to the styles promised for winter. IL
must be Just right in the upper arms,
with that wide look across the chest
and shoulders which is coming to be
more and more the style. In addition
to this, It must be perfect as TO small
trimmings. There must be a deal OF
piping upon 1t. with few contrasting
folds and some handsome touches OF
braid.
No dress chapter is quite complete
without a word or two about the long
coats which are being made up for
wear now. The seeded silks are I'M
pressed into the service and handsome
brown seeded silk is made up in the
skirt and redingOte style with the long
coat falling in beautiful straight lines
over the box-plaited skirt This
makes a very handsome fall suit, ana
one which anyone might desire.
In the silks it might be claimed thai
the taffetas lead. But this would Do
saving too much. There are GLOSSY
silks which are very popular. and
MORE silk is again seen.

In its angularity. 1t appears like .

Mr.. Reynolds is proud Of his signature
and defles anyone to counterfeit It. Its
sharp angles would never in the world
suggest the jolly, rotund form Of the
assistant secretary, who Is the person

Mr.. REYNOLDS has the knack of dash

in his daily routine Of work. Like
other assistant secretaries and high
government officials, he has to spend
two or three hours each day in attach
ing his name to vouchers. warrants
and other important papers. The more
rapidly he can sign his name the less
irksome is this duty. and Mr.. Reynolds
has solved the problem. Secretary OF
the Treasury Shaw writes his name out
in full. except he uses the initial for
the middle name, but as there are only
IL letters in the whole signature 1t does
not occupy very much time.

Louis Napoleon. Title.

It has been said that Louis Napoleon,
who assumed the imperial dignity In
1852, year after his famous coup
d'etat, was Influenced In the choice Of
his title by a curious misconception.
An enthusiastic prefect closed an OFF,
cial document with the words 'Yiye
Napoleonl!v' and these three notes Of
exclamation We're mistaken for the Ro.
man numeral Ill.
Another and very similar story is to
the effect that official posters appeared
upon the walls of Paris headed Napo-
leon III. by n printers error for Napo-
leon II. L-that is to say, Napoleon H..
Imperator. or emperor.
The less romantic reason Is that had
the son of the great Napoleon lived to
succeed his father he would have been
Napoleon II. and that on this ground
Louis Napoleon figures as the third OF
that name.
