He Hit the Rookmaker.

Patrick, Murphy had an afternoon
off. so he thought he would go out to
see the horse races.
Pat had heard about the fortunes
made at the race track, so he thought
he would try his luck He went down
stairs before every race, but didn't
find any odds that suited him until
the last race. 1t was large gray
horse. 1 don't remember its name,
but II suited Pat all right, for 1t had
SOL after 1t.
Pat put up his dollar and went up
stairs to see the race. His horse won
by a neck. Pat hurried downstairs
with a lively step to cash in his
check.
It was the last race Of the day and
the bookmaker was anxious to get
rid Of his silver, therefore Pat was
paid with silver dollars.
Pat stood there few minutes FUN
bling over his handful of silver dol
lars, when the bookmaker hollered:
whats the matter, Irish? Don't you
think they are good?"
Pat said: "They look all right, but
am just trying to see if l can find
the bad one gave you among them"

EARLY FALL FASHIONS

Fashions for the early fall are ap-
pearing in the stores everywhere.
From the models displayed it is evil
dent that brown will be one of the
predominating colors.
Paris is expressing favor for shades
of white, and some of the large New
York stores are making feature OF
white silks of novelty weaves. These
exhibitions included satin and taffeta,
brocades, pekin stripes, satin mes
salines and radium weaves. Model
gowns are being made up in white
silks, and they are also being used ex-
tensively for Innings and for separate
waists.
New York fashion leaders are show
ing more favor for yellows. Linen,
silk and broadcloth costumes In vel
lows are being worn by the ultra
fashionables. A beautiful model gown
in pale yellow crepe de Chine is made
princess style, with guimpe in
cream,colered Spanish lace. The
gown is richly decorated in ribbon en-
broidery of the same tone and an ap-
plique of cream lace.
Another model is strictly tailored
suit with half-fitting coat about So
inches long made Of yellow linen. The
coat collar and cuffs are faced with
black linen. To be worn with this suit
is a burnt leghorn hat in one of the
new drooping-brim shapes, trimmed
with dull yellow plumes and yellow
ribbon.

the full novelty, but it is used in COM

BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
1t 10 Dedicated by the w. L. Douglas
Co. at Brockton.

The dedication a short time ago of
the new administration and iobbing
house building erected by the w. L.
Douglas Shoe Co. as part of its nam.
moth manufacturing plant at Montello
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic cs the
firm in all its undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from IL a. m. to p. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence of Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all
The building itself afforded feast
for the eye, especially the offices,
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over 1000 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States 9ho

the others going to shoe manufacture
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says ''the latch string is always out"
All departments of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and Wis.
itors were received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and Gus
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and go feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry
complete stock of mems, boys, youths,
misses and childrens shoes, slippers,
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bling house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
will be a finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and des
patch of mail

What curious change has come
over the spirit of dress for the ma
iron! Some so years since, she would
persistently grant unto herself the
shelter of the bonnet, nor dream Of
taking her walks abroad save under
the kindly influence of the sacque or
cape, and she relegated to herself
sombre tones Of color, and some rigid
adherence to conservative pattern
of gown. Now she adopts every new
mode with avidity, and determines on
suiting, or at least trying to suit, her
individuality to it's wear. No muslin is
too light for her, no pink rosebuds too
juvenile; she will share alike with the
girl the privileges of the cotton wolfe,
the linen bolero, and the transparent
blouse, while she will surmount her
locks, dyed, fringed, curled, and even
purchased, by the last exigencies of
Fashions mandate for the millinery of
the hour. She is an obliging creature;
she will even paint her face to simu-
late the pink and white bloom of
youth.
In nine cases out of ten such policy
excites pity when not contempt, and
the observer of intelligent comprehen-
sion will remember regretfully the at
fractions Of the lace cap and the soft
ening influence of grey hair.
However, in the tenth case the ma
iron is quite right to adopt the fash
ions of the moment, but that tenth
case must show her slim, upright, not
too obtrusively wigged, and with the
hair of color to conceal rather than
reveal the wrinkles which Time plants
so Unfortunately under the eyes and
round about the mouth.
Indeed, very model of summer
dress for a matron such as I have in

Wash Dresses This Year Are SO Arts.
tic and Well Planned.

An extremely pretty yelling dress
was cut with wide shallow neck
opening. 1t was an extra light gray
in the cotton wolfe with simple little
dot. The prettiest part was the con-
trast with the yoke and pulled sleeves,
which were in cream null with rather
yellowish looking lace. The dress is
made one piece, the top and skirt be-
ing Joined together by two bias strips
of the material fitted around the waist
and Joined by little beading of white
cotton openwork which is used to head
the nuns folds. 1t also heads the inch
wide hem of the material which fin.
ishes neck and sleeve openings. The
armhole reaches down within two or
three inches of the belt line and the
guimpe which meets it has rows of
the lace trimming running around the
sleeve seam. The puff of the sleeve
itself has horizontal rows of the inser-
ton which is nearly inch wide imita-
ton Val. There is an edge to match
which is sewed in rows edging one an
other to form the collar and the cuffs
entirely of the lace edge. Two rows of
it are sewed together straight and two
more are gathered on this, giving the
cuff flare and fullness.
A pretty example of these guimpe
gowns is shown in gray shadow voile
with little gray flower figure. Three
rows of gray velvet ribbon a couple of
inches wide are put around the skirt
far apart, and each headed with a mar
row piece to correspond. A white Irish
embroidery square yoke with little
insets of the same in the extremely
short wolfe sleeve are put in, and
back and forth over them is worked a
little lattice of the narrow gray vel
vet ribbon.
Lavender and white or blue and
white striped chambray of the kind
costing from Is to 20 cents a yard has
beautiful possibilities. The waists are
made up with stripe running bias and

large buttons covered with white linen

with blue lavender, as the case may
be.
These buttons can be had made now
in the two materials, as they were

to remember is that the kind of all
over which comes without holes OF
open work, but which has a rather
sparse pattern worked upon a fine null
ground is the one preferred.

CoIored Wash Goods.

Pink is the most fashionable color
this season, but it is always a great
question how much pink linen, mus
lin or other wash goods will fade after
laundering. To keep the color, instead
of using bluing in the last water get
piece of clean red calico, enough to
color the water. Wash it out until the
water is tinted; pass your pink dress
through it and the color will be as
bright as when new. Lavender ma
terial is benefited by using bluing with
the red stained water until the violet
tint appears.

Rich Women Have Troubles.

The idea that fashionable women
are too busy and had too many inter
ests to feel acute sorrow over their
broken crockery was disproved the
other day when Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
went into the principal dry goods
store in Newport with friend who
stopped to watch man who was
selling cement for cut glass and called
to Mrs. Fish: ooh, here is a cement
for cut glass which not only mends
it but makes it ring as clearly as if
it were new" Mrs. Fish called back:
"My servants break so much of my
glass now that it is heartbreaking and
if they knew 1t were possible TO
mend it they would break it all, so
don't care for any, thank YOU"
