err She was the mother of Howell Osborne, who
married Fay Tempeton, the actress, and, having
no heir except distant relative, she decided to
leave part of her fortune for the benefit of
aged and INDECENT gentlewomen She had in
mind the Louisa Home in Washington when
she planned the institution, and in carrying out
the terms of her will this model has been fol-
lowed far possible.
The idea of the home is to surround the in
mates with the comfort and refinement they
opportunity to associate during their declining
years with persons of their own class. The
building occupies one of the most beautiful sites
in Westchester. and is surrounded by about one
hundred acres of land. laid out with lawns,
drives and flower gardens. Each guest will have
a room to herself and there a private chapel
and handsome reception rooms.
The sanitary arrangements, lighting, heating,
etc. of the most modern description. The
home stands will supply steam heat and cleo
tricity and will also contain the laundry. The
sewage will be filtered through four chambers
and when 1t comes out of the last 1t is said that
it will be as clean as drinking water.
There will be aCcommoda tons for 100 guests
in addition to the attendants, and already there
are more than enough applications to fill the
house. No attempt has been made to sift these

mittee when the institution is finished. Appli-
cations are proceeding from all parts Of the
country. 1t is only necessary that the appli-
cants be poor, respectable and of gentle breed
ing. An impression prevails that only women
who have been prominent and wealthy will be
received and that those who have ever worked
for their living will be absolutely barred. but
this is entirely untrue. Mrs. Osborne had no

TIE autumn models lay considerable stress on

side of the vest from the collar the bust are
three buttons of seIf-coloreG passementerie and
two more of these are found the cuff.
The new ideas of the autumn seem only to be
denominations of what has been noted before On
the whole, the lines of blouses are more vague"
than has been the lately, but at the same
time some shirred bodices and fitted jackets are
seen. However, the ''blOusing'' front is more
marked than it has been for year, and represents
rather an important change. Il only went out Of
favor when bodices were cut to hang over the belt
10 the point of absurdity. and now that d more
modest pollch has appeared, will undoubtedly be
welcomed The closely draped and shirred bodces
have certainly never been so popular as the blouse
The silks that the manufacturers show this sea

fashions They show the most exquisite flower de-
