On an at-home day, when many are
present, a hostess is not required to
make introductions between her
guests unless she wishes to do so.

TO introduce them to each other.
At a large luncheon party the num-
Der regulates whether or 10 general
introductions are 20 be made. 1t is
not possible TO introduce all in a

to each other is the received rule, and
this is done Immediately on arrival,
If possible-fOrmally or Informally, di-

COPPER SAFE FROM LIGHTNING.
Belief Firmly Held in Many Parts OF
the Country.

This mstter Of superstitions Is a
queer thing said the man as he care
fully avoided walking under a ladder,
"for even those Of us who are skeptics
have at least one superstitious falling,
and mine is walking under ladders.
In the country this hummer | met
a new one, which was firmly believed
In by several farmers, and that was
that a thunder storm never passed
over a copper mine or copper vein.
The old fellow who told me about 1t
pointed out again and again that al
though black clouds might roll up and
lightning flash, the storm always went
around a certain spot in his farm.
such actions on the part Of a thun-
der storm could mean but one thing,
he said-that there was a copper vein
there. So sure was he Of It. that he
was putting by a little each year to
have the spot investigated to see IL
there was copper enough in it to
work"

The Latest Styles in Coats
Novelties to Be the
Feature of Season.
Unique and Pretty Dress and Toilet
Accessories to Delight the
Smart Woman.

Dainty new things shown in shops
will delight smart women and young
mothers who go shopping now, for
there are so many unique and pretty
dress and toilet accessories for botL
grown-ups and infants. Ribbon cor.
sets are among the novelties this fall,
and they are so beautifully made OF
rows Of wide satin that every member
Of the fair sew who has seen one inn
mediately wants 20 posses such an
article Of dress if only TO use on spe-
cial occasions. These corsets are eX-
quisitely made, with each ribbon
overlapping the one below and held
securely in place by hand embroidered
daisies, heur de lis, a tiny bunch Of
lily Of the valley or a rosebud. At the
top there Is an edging of narrow baby
ribbon fulled on. or a piece of sheer
Nalenciennes or Cluny lace gathered
to make a fitting finish. In white rib
bon these corsets are delicate enough
for a bride, but for practical use the
ones made of gray, light tan or ever
a delicate shade of light blue or dain.
ty pink will be most s~erviceable.
Figured silk garters will be worn by
fashionable women. Not like the
narrow plain ones that were formerly
used for hard wear but artistic Kinds
made Of pretty colored silks gathered
and shocked so that they are decided
ly decorative. Instead of being about
an inch wide, as the styles of a year
ago. these new ones are at least three
inches in width, with an edging Of
narrow baby ribbon or of Yalenciennes
lace. IE black with yellow ~rosebuds
or In white with purple orchids these
silk carriers are stunning when gath
cred, pleated or shocked in the latest
fashion.
To be in keeping with the tailored
waists to be worn this coming sea-
son. the neckwear on display is more
severe than it has been for several
years, and the modish collars are pat
termed like the mems, except that they
are prettiiy decorated with hand.
embroidered scroll designs, or dainty
floral devices, either natural or con-
yentional. In sheer linen these col
lars-turnovers about an inch and a
quarter high-are attractive and will
be exceedingly becoming to women
with long thin necks, as they are to
be worn close 10 the throat. With
these collars a tie Of some description
is essential for a finish, and as lingerie
bowknots or short four-in-hands are
the most convenient TO tie. they will
be used exclusively. If daintily made
Of hand-woven lace, or a combination
Of handkerchief linen and sheer Valen-
ciennes, these bowknots or the larger
ties are effective when properly ar
ranged on the collar.-N. Y. Tribune.

STYLES FOR THE BABIES.
Fashionable Little Ones Are Now
Wearing Sweaters.

Sweaters for babies are the newest
thing that young mothers can buy for
the fan wear of their little ones.
These garments, made on the same
lines as those worn by grown-ups, will
be most serviceable for use before it Is
time "a put on heavy winter wraps.
The sweaters are made with simple
stitches in white wool, with a narrow
border of pink or blue around the
cuffs and neck, or in light blue or deli
cate pink with white borders. Some
are made yest-like, cut quite low at
the neck with the edges bound with
silk, while others have the regulation
turtle neck such as athletes wear.

they fit tight to the body need no but.

IN sJronE contrast to these outdoor
garments are the ~beribboned frocks
hat little ones win wear indoors this
fall. These dresses, made of eyelet
embroidery, are decidedly elaborate
being trimmed with wide satin ribbon
in blue, pink or white. On either side
OF the waist in front and back there
are two broad pieces OF ribbon, ex-
tending from the neck to the waist.
These join a ribbon belt that matches
and ties in front and back with bows

THREE-oUARTER LENGTHS Tc

Paris Already Has Set Stamp Of APP
prevail on the Garment-Espe.
oially Adapted for Woman
Of Slender Figure.

1t Is early in the year 10 speak Of
winter fashions, but II is certain that
very long t~hree-quarter length coats
will be first fayorites when Tout Paris
returns to the gay capital. writes
Idalia dc Villiers.
At the Deauyille races and on the
planches at Trouyille l saw a number
of these coats In Irish lace and Vene-
tian guipure, and the same style will
be worn all through the winter.
These coats are cut after the fashion
of the picturesque garments worn by
Louis XVII. They are shaped to the
figure, but they do not fit tightly. They
have large pockets and turned back
cuffs. but they are not so ornate as
the coats worn in the time OF Louis
XIV.
On a tall. moderately slender figure
a coat OF this order is a thing of real
beauty. II has a careless grace of its
own, and IL is delightfully comfortable.
One the other hand the short, stout
women must avoid this fashion. 1t
will cut her figure in a most unbecom.
ing n aud take away from her
inches.
Sack coats are stin very popular, but
when winter comes we shall find their
place taken by the semi-tight coats
have just described.
With the Louis XVII. coats il Is
necessary TO leave the fronts open and
loose. therefore the blouse or bodice
underneath must be specially attrac.
tive and well made.
For morning wear we shall have
long. perfectly tight. redingotes-but'
toned up in front like a riding habit
With these Il severely plain blouse
must be worn and an exquisitely neat
collar and tie.
The %redingote is specially beloved
of Parisiennes and they always man
age to look most attractive in that
particular style of costume. Perhaps
this is because they are naturally very
neat. as regards their hair and their
neck arrangements.

petite, my stomach was ont Of order and
L felt nervous and unstrung.
"While / had the grip L had a doctor,

dition in which the influenza left ina
thanI did from the disease itself. l felt
generally wretched and miserable and
the least exposure to cold would make
me worse. l couldn't seem to get any
better until 1 began to take Dr.. williams
Pink Pills. L very quickly noticed a
benefit after l began taking them and
they restored me to good health and

aud healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
