Lace, fur, chiffon and velvet made up
one of the handsomest wraps seen. Of
panne velvet in pale blue lined with
white satin, and ornamented with bands
of Irish lace let Unto the material, this
had hooded cape lined with ermine, the
same fur forming the collar. Chiffon
rufles edged the wide sling sleeves, that
are so often used on both wraps and
gowns this season
Large loose coat wraps built all of
"Coney" as the furriers call it-White
rabbit, with Innings of satin, and buttons
Of large size in carved pearl inset with
gold, was one stylenoted in the lobby on
the way out. Very appropriately the
girl wearer of this was whisked off in
one of the great automobiles with
covered tonneau, that are now so COM
mon that they excite no remark.
White fox as a dressy fur holds first
place in fashionable favor, outranking
ermine in prestige this season. Hand
made jewelry in necklaces, bracelets and
belt clasps and buckles keeps a number
ofpeople busy filling special orders. For
every purpose except for the most cere-
monious wear the semi-precious stones
like topaz yellow or in pink, AMETHYST,
olivines and berry, are preferred by
smart women, and these are more often
than not made up with silver or platinum
settings.

Fashion in New York.
The Season On and MOdiSh Attire TO Be
Seen Wherever FaShi0nableS Assemble.

correspondence Of the CALEDoNIAN.)
The social clock strikes twelve here
with the opening Of the Opera, and
fashions for the season are determined
by the styles exploited there and at
other smaller functions where modish
women gather.
Never was there more elegant assem-
blage than that gathered at the Metro
politan Opera House on the first night.
Exquisite toilets worn with the fitting
air, graced the lovely and distinguished
women in the boxes, and the parquet
was not a whit behind in beauty and
scarcely second in distinction to the
more exclusive part of the auditorium.
In box near the centre of the horse
shoe a we'll known member OF the
Smart Set" was symphony in white
and gold, lovely to behold. The filmy
lace-Brussels Point-of the robe was
worn over an under dress of cloth of
gold, while the panel effect at the front
was of white satin embroidered in gold.
The square decolletage of the bodice
was outlined in sprays of small button
roses made Of the gold tissue. The
Jewels were pearls and diamonds, the
tiara rather small, very dainty affair
with an aigrette effect tipped with a
marabout.
Pale pink chiffon cloth with widely
separated tucks on the skirt and band
ings Of silver ribbon between made the
girlish toilet of a debutante. A wreath
of pink roses with sparkling dew drops
on the leaves was worn on the hair. The
wreath was quite small, and perched a
little on one side after the manner of a
shepherdess hat.
Nothing could excel the richness of the
wraps worn, and the liking for dainty
draperies in scarf form seems to be grow
ing, though it was SO much of fad last
season that it would have died out after
the usual fashion Of over exploited fads,
had the style not proved too becoming
to be abandoned.
Whatever the costume worn by the
up-to-date woman she is always invari-
ably well taken care of, her hair nicely
arranged, high coiffures are the rule at
present, and every detail intelligently
cared for. No woman of refinement
uses any strong perfume, but everyone
avails themselves of a delicate toilet
water like Murray & Lanman's Florida
Water which refreshes and improves the
complexion leaving only the daintiest
suggestion of boquet.
Apparently no corner Of the earth has
been left unsearched to discover some
thing Of special attraction for new ideas
in scarfs. Dainty gold embroideries done
on flmy wells of white, black, azure ant
rose color, elbow lengths of crepe EN-
broidered with the wonderful patterns o
skillful Japanese fingers, rainbow texture.
from Syria and lovely liberty weaves ar.
all made to do duty to grace tn,
shoulders of lovely women at the opera
| Paletots, Dolmanesque and cape effect
are the newest form assumed by evening
wraps. Some of them are extremel1
simple while others are extremely com
plex in effect. A novelty is an Arabian
cape, seamless affair with hoode,
back formed by loop Of the material
exactly after the fashion in which GU
grandmothers draped their camels hal
! shawls.

Out of Sorts.
People Not Really Sick Are often MOS1
In Need of care.

The people who are mostly in need of
sympathy and medical care are not
those who are really sick, but the ones
who are dragging themselves around,
just "out of sorts"
In nine cases out of ten this condition
is the direct result of weakened
stomach, and when the digestive organs
are strengthened with Ml-o-na there will
be no distress, dizziness, nausea, head
ache, ETC., and the old time energy, force,
strength and happy spirits will soon
return.
Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive. 1t
absolutely strengthens all the organs OF

nerves and the power to digest any food

Reception to Mrs. Chaffee.

We take the following item from Den
yer society news:
"About 25 ladies were hidden to the
home of Mrs. Frederick R. Ross on
Tuesday, the 18th, to extend birthday
greeting to her mother, Mrs. Willard P.
Chafee, formerly of St. Johnsbury, Vt,
There were readings by Mrs. George
Dunklee and vocal and instrumental
music, after which the dining room was
thrown open, and a birthday supper was
served, each guest making wish for
Mrs. Chaffee as the candles on the cake
were extinguished
The table was decorated with autumn
leaves and yellow chrysanthemums.
Mrs. Chaffee received many beautiful
flowers and other gifts, and the guests
expressed wishes to be present in a year
at just such another delightful party"

of this limit, as believe it would induce
more of our money to be kept at home

LOCATION IS
SPLENDID one
Metf1OdiStS: .Elated Over
Site;for New
Church 4

There seems to be general satisfae-
ton over the location secured by the
Methodist church for its future new
stone building which will certainly be
a credit to the city and the region rep
resented by Lewiston. The pastor of
the church declares that 1t is the very
best site possible for all the future and
that much credit is due E. D. Briggs
for his foresight in seeing the practical
bility Of this location.
1t will be central for all who live on
the hill both east and west from that
locality. and 1t will accommodate those
who live In the fiat below. both east and
west from the site Of the old church.
Then the church edifice will show off to
the very best advantage In that place
as 1t will be seen for miles up the
river by those who come to Lewiston
and being between the high school and
the library building 1t will aid in show
ing the hill and these Oft to best adj
vantage.
A fine stone structure, such as will
be erected there. will add immensely to
the value Of, Lewiston realty and will
help the city wherever known in CIV
ing 1t due Importance and In creating
confidence In those who are looking
ahead to coming to Lewiston with their
families.
It il known that among those who
have indicated the largest amount of in
terest in the future Of Normal HILL and
who will encourage this enterprise, that
q church edifice seating at least 1000
will be required. and being built Of
three kind, and colors Of stone, 50 COM
bined as to give the best effect. this will
be one OF the finest churches in all this
northwest.
Rev. custer says there will be no
difficulty at all in erecting something
good for this place. as 1t IL certainly
destined to become one Of the cities OF
the Pacific Coast. and that now Is the
time to erect a fine church with pipe
organ and appointments such as will
give distinction to the matter
A building that will seat 1000 peo-
pie to be used for all religious and
educational purposes. and for conven-
tions and congresses Of this nature and
for all the churches that may wish to
use 1t will certainly be help. as
there is no place lare enough to seat
more than 700 in the whole city now,
and then the matter Of expense being
eliminated. 1t will be a consideration Of
great value.
In Moscow the board Of trustees
passed resolution that all gatherings
Of all denominations and educational
and religious bodies and appropriate
congresses might use the church for all
time free Of cost. simply by paying
expense Of light. fuel and janitor
