All About the New COIOrs.

In regard to the fashionable
colors for fall and winter, it
will be the peculiar tones, rath-
err that the usual ones, that will
be the most fashionable. Dark
shades are to be favored in
striking contrast to the delicate
tiuts which were so much the
vogue last autumn The very
new point about the new colors
is that they all, more or less,
look as though they were seen
through a mist or veil. The
vivid shades are all subdued.
For instance, there is an ashen
tinge to the reds. The greens
are softer, and the browns are
dulled to mode, the blues reflect
a gray shadow, and even the
grays themselves are deepened.
Instead of pure gray, we have
taupe, which. much resembles
mole. and another deep gray
known a. elephants breath.
Brown Will be extremely fash
ionabIe all through the fall and
winter, much more so in fact
than gray. A shade of brown
known as mudure. and which
has decided greenish tiuge,
will be a very exclusive and
fashionable shade. The chest.
nut browns will also be good
sty lie, and puce, which is anoth-
er shade of brown, having a
pinkish tinge.
Deep. but a brilliant, blue
called pavois will be much the
vogue. as well as bronze
green. The rose shades that
deepen INTO wine are good, but
pink and old rose will not be
used as much as in the spring.
Dahlia. petunia aud orchid pur.
piles will still be seen.

A Suggestion.

At the Commercial Club meet
ing Friday night one OF our
leading business men, because
there was not a quorum present
and had not been for three
months, suggested that those
present divide the money in the
rreasurery and call the entire
thing off for lack of interest.
The DEMOCRAT makes this
suggestion: Instead of divid-
ing the money, at the next
meeting of the faithful, let
them order ten thousand or
more souvenir cards struck

An Error.

Our friend W. j. Rouse of the
Monroe DEMOCRAT has evident
ly got his wires badly crossed
for he this week gives to the
public the remarkable story
that the 2 to ball game which
Shelblna won from Edna last
Friday was stopped by rain in
the second inning and tor that
reason charges all interested in
baseball in this city with being
notorious liars In giving it out
that full game was played and
won by Shelbiua. The fact is 8
innings were played and not a
drop of rain fell during the
game. The management aud
players of the Shelbina Base
Ball Club are as truthful and
gentlemanly lot of fellows as
grace the diamond OF any city
and it should be beneath the
dignity of any paper to compare
them or anyone else to Auanias

he is talking about. An apollo
