The Chauffeur.

The chauffeur is Il flying animal new
to our fauna. It's original habitat is
France, but it is hardy. adapts itself
to all climates and multiplies rapidly
so that it now abounds in most parts
of the world.
Its habits are as yet undetermined.
It flies by night as well as by day. low
toward the ground. 1t does not hiber-
nate. strictly speaking. although it
shows some preference for warm re-
giOns.
It's reason for killing it's prey is still
in question. 1t does not feed upon its
prey, but since increase of speed in
fight accompanies each death some
have supposed that the chauffeur
draws vigor in some way from the
victims.
The creature is difficult of capture
and languishes in confinement; hence
owners of rare specimens pay largely
to protect them from the perils Of
capture.
No nest has vet been found nor any
immature specimens. The chauffeur
first appears full grown and may be
taken in his haunt, the garage about
which they settle in cks-Natural-
iSt.

THE MANNISH COAT.
It Is Much In Evidence For FaIl-Gib-

son waists.
Reaching to the roofs. piles of coats
of all kinds are to he seen in the great
factories Where the garments are
made for womalkind. These coats are
for early autumn use, now so close
upon us, and while at first glance they
may seem to be very near like those
of last season. we mas find many
shades of difference. In the first place
almost every one has something about
1t which looks Enthusiastically mannish.
Be it the roll Of the collar. the straight,
true lines in back and front, or the
very mannish pockets, each has it's
quota. Only a very few Of the fancy
Elton jackets look at all feminine, and
this is in itself an anomaly since the
Etons are copied from the short coats
of the boys at Elton college in England.
Many short and tight fitting coats
are seen, the skirts to them quite far
Ing. Some of these coats reach the
hips. while others are almost to the
knees. There are three seams in the
back. The pony coats close straight
down the front with an invisible fly
and have one shaping seam quite over
the shoulder down to the hem in the
back. Flat and fancy shaped collars
are set Oh these in some cases, while
others have no collar at all. the edge
being finished by trimming of fine
fancy braid
tourist coat has the fitting seam
down the front, which causes the
whole coat To sit snug to the figure
Flat revers, simply stitched, form a
collar, which closes with six silver
buttons The material is fine gray
meltonl Three tailored pockets make
the on finish save the stitching, and
the coat sleeves have stitched cuffs.
This particular coat is rounded slightly
at the front, while some of the others
are really cutaways
One of this special style is Of fine
brown broadcloth and is double breast
ed and sharply cut away in front,
while the collar is long, narrow and
in shawl shape The back fits by
three seams. There are coat sleeves
to this also. Many suits of fine striped
serge or cheyiot are made, the coat of
the same material as the skirt and fire.
quently a tight fitted waist beneath
for cold days.
One very elegant suit of this descrip-
ton was displayed, the material being
a beautiful shade of panne gray chev-
lot. The skirt was entirely plain with
slightly flared cores. The coat fitted
to the figure closely and was devoid of
any trimming save the buttons that
closed it and the natty tailor made
pockets. Coat sleeves and fiat man
collar finished what was desirable
suit.
The same design in Il biscuit serge is
made more youthful by the absence of
a collar and the addition of u band
of black velvet ribbon piped with

yet only three buttons show, and they
are Of frosted silver
There is determined endeavor to
force the second empire styles upon
us. The hats of the Eugene reign are
the same as those worn today with
slight changes and these principally in
the way they are garnished. Flounces.

the new gowns which will be placed

There is, so to call it, recrudes-
cence of Gibson waists, and they are
found in abundance among all the
newest of the output. They have the
effect Of apparently broadening the
shoulders. and the girl Of today likes
to look as broad of shoulder as her big
brother. Surplice waists are in high
favor and will be seen in soft fou-
lards. Dots Of all sizes are seen, one
good design having white dots of
three or four sizes on a rich maroon
ground. Dainty figures and tiny
checks are in evidence Shanghai silk

silk has not much body it is necessary
