designs in color checks with overtime
plaiding or stripping of black are equal
ly good.
Beautiful tartan plaids and plaids of
tartan effect, but in colorings to which
no clan will lay claim, are represent
ed among the soft woolens.
Much is said about the increasing
simplicity and severity in the tailored
street costume and it is unquestion-
able that the severe tailor-made suit
will have its place. Already one hears
of broadcloth costumes whose skirts
are trimmed in flat, shaped flounces,
embroidered to match the embroidery
upon collar and cuffs of the fanciful
little coat, and of costumes in which
satin and broadcloth are cleverly COM
bined, the satin forming the fbunda-
ton of the frock, while cloth of the
same shade is lavishly used for trim
ming.
Satin promises to have great sue
cess and a satin finish appears upon
many of the loveliest silks and sheer
sillen stuffs, while satin stripes, satin
dots, ETC., enter into many of the fancy
combination materials, such as the
satin and Grape stripes and the satin
and silk mousseline stripes already
noted.
For the dressy coat and skirt suits
it is probable that the bolero, whose
decline is once more heralded, will be
as popular as ever, and there will be
loose, picturesque little paletot and
mantle effects. such as have been seen
in the summer costumes. The quaint
draped wrap recalling the days of the
shawl is too recent favorite in Paris
to be dropped merely because of
change of season, and we shall see
these effects in cloth and velvet and
fur.
Short wasted coats, too, will be a
legacy from summer to winter, and
these will have skirts of varying
lengths, from the short hip length
basque to the long, enveloping skirts
of the carriage and theater coat. The
short WASTED back combined with
fronts, giving natural waist line, is
not unbecoming, even to the woman of
large hips, if it be cleverly cut and
hung; but it does need very slkillful
handling.
In our illustration we show two very
smart street costumes. The one with
the plain skirt is of rich bronze cordu-
roy velveteen, with very smart revers
and tabs of cream moire, and the over
lay of very fine guipure lace on the
bodice just supplies the happy touch
that enhances the charm of the gown.
The other costume is n very effective
model in mouse-colored cloth, trimmed
with velvet of the same tone, the smart
little bolero coat, which is lined with
silk being finished with cord and but.

Odds and Ends of Fashion Talk

Moire is being vigorously pushed by
the manufacturers, but indications
point to the probability that it will be
used chiefly for trimming and in COM
bination and only the elderly will be
disposed to favor whole frocks of this
material.
Charming evening gowns made of
the exquisite pointed chiffon cloths
with garland borders and bands.
These are made in 60-inch widths, and
will be popular
With the continuation of the rage
for laces black silk lace lis acquiring
an Unprecedented prestige.
One noticeable feature of the win
Ter frock will be the use of heavy cush-
ion embroidery. and the buttons of
carved ivory and of tortoise shell so
popular in Paris are certain to gain
favor among those who can afford the
luxury.
In new waist fannels many attrac-
tive striped effects will be offered, the
color scheme often including many
ctlors, but the blending bringing them
into inconspicuous harmony
And now we are to have the
trimmed pockets, which are features
of some of the newest French coats

Plaid cloth will be popular for fall
costumes and we show herewith n

Fashions DEGREES are in the main
whimsical and uncertain, and the best
laid plans of manufacturers and mer-
chants gang aft a gley," for they un-
derstand better than anyone else the
uncertainty as to the success of any
new tints and new designs in materials
in winning the popular favor. One of
the novelties may fail entirely, and
may be popular, a third may be chic
for to be popular and to be chic mean
two very different things, and things
quite Incompatible. A color or mate
rial may be smiled upon by the ultra
modish at the opening of the season
and may promptly find favor with the
crowd.
Promptly the color becomes epidem-
ic and the fashionable woman shuns it
as she would the plague; but certain
percentage of American women, and
by no means small percentage, will
always jump at the first novelties in
stead of waiting to see what colors and
materials win acceptance with the few
who keep closely in touch with fash
ions best.
The reds have distinct Importance
upon the manufacturers color cards,
and a long line of reds, some of them
exceedingly beautiful, are offered in
the fall materials. The so-called ruby
colorings, clear, yet without crudeness
as are all of the colorings represent
ed in first-class materials, now that the
dyers have indeed qualified as artists
are emphasized, and the nine reds.
many of which, like the nine dregs, are
off the clear tones, bid fair to become
very popular
Numerous green's are confidently ad-
vanced, particular emphasis being laid
upon the bronze green tones; and
though there is some difference of
opinion as to the part brown is to play
in the seasons modes many shades of
this color are in evidence and some
buyers who usually know whereof they
speak expect the browns to have a
leading role Several warm browns of
golden tinge mahogany tint and the
dead leaf colorings all promise well.
And as for black all indications point
to such a black season as we have not
had in many years.
Striped effects are to figure largely
among the coming modes, and novel
ty in black goods will be the striped
effect produced wholly by the differ
ence in fabric.
Checks and plaids will receive recog

signs already shown indicate ten

The man who has nothing but his

think the bargain good enough. The
strong arm and fleet foot were enough,
perhaps, to make a candidate for king

to-day even for the making of a steve

their fanatical supporters are more ut

of any African fetish. The struggle for
existence is not, as formerly, an imme-

social, not individual. You may live

Graceful Dances of Spain.

In dancing the Spanish woman is
queen of her sex. To e the real
thing you must get hold of a gypsy
band or visit some humble dancing
place in Seville or in the South. There
is no dancing in the world so poetic,
passionate, suggestive or graceful, ac-
cording to Nineteenth Century.
Spain is the true home of the dance.
There are the jota, or Aragon, with
its fine abandon but stately time; the
tango, resembling the danse du ventre
OF Moorish Spain-the dance of gee
ture and suggestion; the graceful
cachuca, with it's chironomic play of
head and arms; the jaleo de Jerez,
which gypsies dance In whirling meas
ure; the quaint dances of the BASQUE
provinces, and scores of minor local
dances more Or less alike peculiar to
different localities.
But the great dances are the bolero,
the seguidilla, the chaeona n the
fandango of the South. These dances
are the soul and epitome of Spain. In
all OF them prose gesture-the mystery
OF true dancing-plays an important
part; in all of them the poetry of love
and motion is exhibited with extraor.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN BREWER

When 480 Schooners OF Beer Are Car
ried in the Vest Pocket.
A Wisconsin chemist says he has
discovered a method whereby a man
can carry around in a small phial 48O
schooners of good beer.
According to What to Eat he has
produced a liquid which is 1900
times stronger than the very best beer
that can be produced.
All he will say regarding his dis
covery is that it is an alkaloid from
hops $500 times stronger than the
malt now made from the best barley.
When this fluid is combined with
water the contact produces an instan-
taneous fermentation, forming 8 1-2
per cent alcohol, which is the quantity
found in the best quality of beer.
The advantage of this is that one
could place a small phial containing
one ounce of liquid in his vest pocket
and thus be constantly supplied not
only with indefinite quenchings of a
personal thirst, but also with enough
treats to popularize the meanest man
in any community.
h Wisconsin chemist thinks he
will make a fortune out of the politi-
clans alone; but the brewers haven't
taken to the woods yet.

bend their necks downward and pick
up pebbles out of the gravel.
The green turtle, or the hawksbill,
will pick up a pebble in this way and
hold it in its mouth for a moment and
then drop it, and then it will put it's
beak down and pick up another, to be
dropped in a moment.
At feeding time, when the food for
the turtles is put into the water at the
top of the tang, some small shreds or
fragments may fall to the bottom and
settle there on or among the pebbles,
and after the turtles have eaten all the
big pieces if they get hungry they
come down and search the gravel for

Thieves Reaping a Harvest From San
Francisco Ruins.
Copper wire to the value of $500 was
stolen from the Postal Telegraph
company's former Office about IL
O'clock Wednesday night, say the San
Francisco Chronicle. A gang of five
men carried fifteen coils of wire to q
wagon, which was driven by a member
Of the gang, and before the arrival OF
a patrol wagon loaded with policemen,
under Detective Sergeant Ed Gibson,
the thieves escaped with their booty.
Not only the Telegraph companies.
but the United Railroads and the tel
ephone company have been heavy los
ers from the depredations of g well Or
ganized band of junk thieves, who dis
eliminate in favor of the more valua-
BILE junk, such as copper wire and
brass findings.
A ready market is found for this
loot, some junk dealers making no
scruples about purchasing all that Is
brought them. The wire is melted into
crude ingots and sent to the Eastern
shelters.
The methods of the thieves in loot
ing the ruins in the burned district are
extremely simple. Several members
of the gang search the ruins, and, at
ter selecting such pieces of junk as
will command the highest price, cast 1t
into the street. It is an easy matter
for others to gather the junk without
attracting attention.
Boys have been engaged by junk
dealers to pick up bits of copper, and
in this way have contributed largely to
making the business of the junk men
lucrative.
Great piles of junk of all descrip-
lions are piled in the courtyard in the
rear of the police headquarters at the
Lowell high school. In the days i'm
mediately following the fire the police
confiscated quantities of junk and
made a great number of arrests. The
men arraigned in the police courts are
fined a nominal sum, which is quickly
paid.

PAINTED HIS OWN FENCE.
Why the Work Might Have Been Done
Better bv a Professional.

Better by a professional.
Louis Weis who recently built a
home in Virginia place, East st. Louis,
is willing to acknowledge that there
are a few things a professional can
do better than an amateur. One Of
them is painting a fence. The next
time Mr.. Weis has any billboard deco
rating to do he will hire a man. 1t
happened this way:
Last Monday night Mr.. Weis had a
little spare time on his hands. The
back fence was in need of kalsomine,
and, after purchasing a can of paint
for 81 and a brush for so cents, he
started in to do the job. 1t was then
about Z o'clock. and Mr.. Weis re-
marked to his better half that he
would have the twenty-five feet Of
boarding properly dyed in ."about
three shakes Of a sleeps tail" The
sun went down and the supper hour
passed, but Mr.. Weis went on paint
ing. 1t was too early for the moon
to rise, and, as it seemed necessary
to complete the job, Mrs. Weis Of
fered to hold a lamp while MI. Weis
painted.
The neighbors, attracted by the un-
usual scene, went over to investigate,
thinking perhaps burglars were at
work. Most of them remained to cri-
ticise, extol or offer suggestions. Mr..
Weis went on painting. At midnight
the job was finished, and Mr.. Weis
took an inventory. He found that he
had ruined one $25 suit CT clothes and
one $40 dress belonging to Mrs. Weis,
not to mention the damage suffered
by his temper. A painter would have
cost about 81 to do it right.-St. Louis
