Recent EvoIutions In Jackets.

After the Louis XIV. coat the num-
Der of styles is legion and everything
has a fresh appearance wrought out
from old lines by bringing the best of
several into existence in one. One
jaunty jacket of striped rough cheviot
is cut so that the stripes come bias all
over the body except right down the
front, where the fiat collar and front
are on the straight. 1t has loose coat
sleeves, with stitching at the wrist, and
two small buttons for trimming.
Another fetching jacket has a sort of
yoke which extends down the front to
the bottom, and all the rest is laid in
plaits, which reach out over the hips
and are held in to fit by a self belt.
This also has coat sleeves made full
at the top. The yoke goes straight
across the back about six inches in
depth. All the rest is plated and belt
ed. A skirt of the same material has
a stitched strap about six inches from
the bottom, but not meeting at the
front by three inches.

Revival of Black Cashmere.

There are some browns and many
grays, but there will be Il great vogue
for all the purple and hello shades.
Black also will have Il rare prominence,
and many of the black dresses and
suits are truly beautiful, with fine jet
ted trimming and delicate but effective
tracery of black silk embroidery. In
one suit | noticed a very original and
handsome arrangement. The gown
was of fine black cashmere, and his
will be much seen in almost every
range of indoor and outdoor wear.
There was a drop skirt, and to that
was fastened a killed flounce hemmed
and tucked. Each tuck where il was
hemmed had n small cut jet bead set
in with every stitch. This was light
and handsome in itself, but when the
deep vandyke of the skirt fell Owe it,
and these points were filled with cm-
broidery in heavy black silk, each leaf
and flower having some of the beads
wrought in with it, it was exceedingly
rich. The embroidery trailed on up
the skirt, losing itself in fine tendrils.

A Railway Adventure
tOriginal. ]

'"'
Little Gretchen Hecker was but
eighteen years old when her father
lost his estates, after a prolonged law
suit, and it was determined that she
should go to Berlin to study to be a
musician, with a view to earning her
own living. She went all alone on the
train and was alone In the compart-
ment until at one of the stops a man
got in. The train had no ooner start
ed on than he said to Gretchen:
"Fraulein. I'll trouble you for your
clothes"
Gretchen looked at the man, not IN
Outstanding what he meant.
"Your clothes, and be in a hurry.
Take them off. I'm going to put
them on and you shall put OIL mine"
Before Gretchen could be made to
understand that he WAS in earnest
he was obliged to threaten her, and
even then the taking off of her outer
clothing before Il man was so obnoX-
ious to her that she did 1t very slowly.
The mar was twice her age, but not
much taller, being small and wiry. He
put on Gretchen's dress, hat-he could
not get on her shoes-and minor
articles, compelling her to put on his
own clothes. Then he took out of a
satchel a number of cosmetics and
began to make himself up for a wo-
man. He also took out n mustache
and, giving it to Gretchen, ordered her
to stick 1t on to her upper lip.
Gretchen, who had never before been
out in the world without a maid, was
of course terror stricken. She obeyed
the man mechanically, expecting every
moment that he might find it to his
interest to murder her. After they
had changed apparel be said to her:
Little girl, if you do what l want
you to do, I'll not hurt you. The next
station will be b. and l expect to leave
the train there. If | decide not to
and any one gets into this compart-
ment, you must pretend that you are
a young man. If you don't, I'll kill
your
When the train stopped at b. the
man was about to get out when he
caught sight of a policeman standing
right where he must be passed. The
mar hesitated and decided not to risk
it. He covered back in the car and
remained there while the train was
at a s~tandstill. Just before it moved
off a young man in a students cap
got into the compartment. Then the
guard locked the door and the train
moved off.
The student was evidently in an
amiable mood-most students are-and
as soon as he was seated took out a
cigarette and, turning to the criminal
whom he supposed was a woman,
asked If she objected to smoking. The
man replied in so coarse a voice that
the student smiled, and, permission
being granted, he offered Gretchen a
cigarette. She was about to decline
when u glance from the criminal

There was a Louis coat with this, made
to fit tightly. The long vest was Of
white satin embroidered in black with
beads and once in awhile a delicate
colored thread.
There are some lovely fine all wool
French ladies' cloths in the delicate
evening shades and in pastels. Black
broadcloths fifty-four inches wide are
produced with dull or satin finish. Pru-
nellas are also among the fine ma
terials for the coming season and win

have the preference.

FROM "ALL OPENINGS.


How tn Make and Vrtcl Them.
The fall openings are following each
other with great rapidity, ami we see a
few entirely new things, but many
more of old acquaintance, though they
have perhaps some trifing POINTS of
difference. The old standard broad
cloths, for instance, cannot change save
in their colorings. These c~olorings are
very rich, many of them being hello
tropes and puppies of various shades.
Among the puppies, which are duplicat-
ed in silks, velutinas and other fabrics,
we find corinthe, dahlia, eminence, vio-
let, royal purple, plum, damson, hello
trope and iris. There are other and
lighter shades, among them lobelia, Ii
lac, cyclamen, prelate and clematis, be-
sides Il new blue like the old corntiower
blue with Il lilac tint. Damson is Il
beautiful shade and makes up richly
In any of the fall goods, particularly in
the velutinas and cloths. 1t seems to
require Il thick and fine material for
this shade to be seen ut its best, but it
is suitable for young and old. | saw
several of the Louis XIV. suits made of
this particular shade, with vests of
either pale blue or cream colored satin.

in pretty colors.

warned her to accept, and, taking the
cigarette, the student held a match
while she lit it. The student insisted
on opening Il conversation with her. Al
the first sound of her voice he looked
at her surprised and smiled again.
you two had better change your
clothes,'' he said. The woman has
the voice of Il man, while the man
has the voice of Il woman"
Poor Gretchen now began to show
signs of sickness, and the student
asked what was the matter. Gretchen
admitted that 1t must be the cigarette,
since he could not think Of anything
else to cause the trouble.
Poor little boy" said the student.
You should be at home with your
mother"
Taking her head In his arms, he
p|layfully pulled it down on to his
breast. The criminal, not rellshing this
close proximity and fearing the girl
might communicate with the student.
said:
Let the boy alone"
What business Is 1t of yours?" asked
the student haughtily. One would sup
pose the boy to be Il girl. I'll hug him

With that he seized Gretchen and
pulled her face down onto his chest sc
vigorously that when he released her
her mustache had fallen off.

dent. whats this? Are you trying
to escape from justice In disguise?"
That's it," cried the criminal. HE
must be a thief"
The student looked at the b%lushing,
innocent face of the girl, and, noticing
that her hair had partly slipped from
under her hat where the criminal had
placed it, took hold of a coil and pulled
it down over Gretchen's shoulder.
You're a GIRL" he said, that's GER

"A man. And, whipping out a re-
volyer, he a%t,-.lpted to cover the stu

nowned member of the dueling corps
at his university, quick as lightning
knocked up his weapon, and in the
scuff1e that followed the criminal, be
ing encountered with skirts, was over
powered ana lost his revolver.
For the rest of the journey the stu
dent kept the criminal covered and got
from Gretchen a brief story of how
she had been forced into mans attire.
On reaching the next station the Grim
inal was turned over to the police, and
Gretchen's identity was confirmed by
telegraph.
The student proved to be the son of a
wealthy baron who knew Gretchen's
father. This and the singular adven-
ture was quite enough to induce an ac-
q%uaintance, which ripened into love.
and Gretchen is now a baroness.
