His Status.

The caste system is so deeply rooted
among the people of India that Chris
tanned Hindoos are still under it's po-
tent influence. For example, Mr.. j. g.
Oman, formerly professor of natural
science in the government college at
Lahore, tells in his book, "The Brah-
mans, Deists and Muslims of India" of
the native Christian head master of a
mission school who was asked in 4
court of justice what his religion was.
"Brahman-C Christian, he replied.
The judge, who was European, not
recognizing such sect, asked for more
information.

FfDs AND FASHIONS
By Florence Fairbanks.

New York, Sept 24.-Autumn is
rapidly approaching and nearly every
z day now models for fall wear are
coming from Paris. 1t is true, in a
general way, nearly all of them carry
out the Directorire idea, but there is,
at the same time, so great a variety
man may find something to suit her
individual style. There is really no
excuse for a woman, this autumn, to
be dressed unbecomingly. The tall
and gracefully shaped woman, OF
course, has the advantage of her
plumper sisters, but that is quite ma
tural 1t is easier to dress well
formed body tastefully and becoming
ly than one less favored by nature, no
matter what the style of fashion may
be.
Among last weeks importations
were some tailored costumes modelled
upon those shown in Paris during the
late spring and summer. They are
without exception Directoirs in char
acter and there seems to be every in
dication that the Directoire style will
continue to prevail during the fall
and coming winter. Widewale chew
lots in bold chevron design and usual
ly in two-tone coloring are among the
handsome novelties that came in
during the past week. These ma
terials are beautiful in quality and in
color, but in most cases so loud that a
great many women, who do not be-
long to the radical set, will hesitate
to wear them. They will prefer plain
broadcloth, a one-tone cheviot or
serge, or one of the almost invisibly
blended checks or pfaids or stripes.
The rage for fancy coats continues
and bids fair to increase with cooler
weather. At present they are merely
ornamental, of lace or net satin trim
med, but they will be developed later
in velvet and satin, and, thus rein
forced, light summary frocks may be
worn well into the autumn. In many
cases the coat is scarcely more than
a pelerine, as in smart combination
in old blue messaline, which, consists
of two long bands reaching back and
front to knee depth, narrow at the
shoulders and curved over the bust
to twice the width at the hips, SO that
the back and front portions meet.
They only just meet at that point,
however, then separate for the rest of
the length. Stitched straps of the
messaline join the two bands across
the front and again at the back, each
piece held in place with an ornament

e of the fandsomest wraps OF
rs style shown among the importa-
lions is fashioned of satin or some
lustrous silk and is lined. 1t is per
fectly plain and smooth-fitting across
the shoulders; but the two fronts
meet low over the bust, then abrupt
ly curve to long points at the side.
These are slashed, and the one toward
the back is shortened some five
inches. The Empire back in one
piece hangs full in jabot effect. The
sleeves tucked from the armside,
where they are put in without a
gather to a point over the hands, are
the latest note. All sleeves, whatever
their general design, are small and
tapering; otherwise as much latitude
as ever is permitted, and there seems
to be no end to the number and orig
inality of the designs.
Marvellous things are accomplished
nowadays by the manufacturers in
imparting to the cloths of wool a
satin-like finish. Broadcloths of the
finest grades have more satin-like
appearance than they, ever had, and
this same sheen and softness make
beautiful Venetian and prunella
cloths. Diagonally striped wooden
stuffs in two tones, brown and green,
blue and red, and other colors, are
often combined with black. Such
gowns are commonly trimmed with
velvet or braid, or with both. The
diagonals intended for winter will be
extremely thick, and will be made up
in the plainest manner, with coats and
skirts of clinging nature. The
coats will, as usual thing, be long
and moulded to the figure.
The waistcoat is likely to be an i'm
portant item of the seasons costumes,
both in plain tailored form and in
elaborate embroidered form, and some
superb waistcoat arrangements are
shown among the new trimmings.
Never were embroidered bands,
motifs, trimmings of all kinds, hand
somer than they are to be the coming
winter and the supply already shown
In the trimming departments of the
better shops is actually bewildering.
Subtlety of colors harmonized, intri-
cate combinations of materials and
variety in design and workmanship
make of many of these embroideries
work of art; they add wonderfully to
the beauty of a costume.
1t seems, from present indications
that double and triple capes on long
coats will again be fashionable during
the coming winter. They are quite
becoming to many women and are
quite as serviceable to those who do
not wear furs Braids will be the
principal decorative feature of these
coats; this may be in the finest SOU
tache or in the most exaggerated
widths. or in a combination of two or
three widths. Such braid coats are
