in the western part OF Lake Erie 1t
Is very nearly west. At Logansport,
Ind, extensive grooves and scratches
have been found where the movement
is toward the north. This variation
In the direction of the grooves and
scratches indicates that there were
eddies in the ice, such as are found in
the current Of a deep slow-movinE
stream of water. The grooves on the
islands in the western end of Lake
Erie are among the most remarkable
in the world. One groove, in hard
corniferous limestone. was about 20
feet broad and eight feet deep, extend
ing for long distance across Kelley
island. The surface of this groove Is
most finely polished, corals and other
fossils being cut off as sharply as
could be done by any graver's tool
The direction of these grooves in the
bed of Lake Erie is evidently due to
the fact that the depression Of the
lake diverted the ice movement in its
closing stages in the direction of its
longer diameter toward the natural
outlet on the west.

Fashionable Fabrics for Fall.

For simply tailored suits, comprising a
short skirt and 30-inch coat or a long
coat, the most practical of all materials
are the worsteds in invisible checks and
stripes of mannish design and finish.
II the materials used for this class
of costume have borders they should
be made to form nnish for the skirt
and the sole material for the waistcoat,
the collar and the cuffs, If the border
is too narrow for this purpose, 1t would
better be cut off and used In the form
of panel edgings. If. as is frequently
the case. the bordering is supplemented
by a band running through the main
portion Of the material, the skirt must
absolutely be pleated. for to gore 1t sat

Fashionable fabrics for fall are Of In
finite variety. In fact, It would seem as
though the manufacturers had been try
ing to outdo each other In the matter Of
stripes, checks and plaids combining two
tones Of one color or several colors Of
widely contrasting hue. Yet so arttstically
blended and eye-satisfying are these
shadings that the beholder wonders why
1t had never before been done by any
one save Mother Nature, who mixes her
colors in the most helter skelter fashion
and, invariably, with pleasing results. But
then cloth and silk manufacturers are
only poor human creatures, however rich
and influential the demand for sartoriai
embellishments may have rendered them.
The bordered worsteds which attained
so much popularity last winter are again
to the fore and bid fair to be taken up
with renewed enthusiasm by the women
who appreciate the fact that while such
materials are a trife more expensive at
hrst cost, there is usually a tremendous
saving in the matter Of trimmings. This
season the borders are somewhat deeper,
owing. probably, to the interest in the
classic or sheath skirt, which should not
be applied. trimmed, but should carry
ornamentation woven into the material,

seen in the scraps of ancient silk, poplin
and ribbon which form pieced bedspreads'
crazy quilts and sofa pillows dear to the
hearts Of our grandmothers and maiden
aunts-probably because Of the recollec-
tions which they renew of past times,
faces and pleasures. The shade which
the owners of the patchwork blocks still
call "prune' bears a strange resemblance
to the modern wistaria, and that fondly
referred to as magenta" is marvelously
like mulberry. Then there is queer
brownish pink that has the look of the
rose leaf pot pourrl and the lavender that
was years ago regarded as the only proper
shade for first relief to the black and
white Of second mourning or for woman
to wear when undertaking matrimony for
the second time.
Blue Best OF All.
In the autumn tailor suit tints there is
numbered new blue bearing the honored
name of Edison. This is also among the
faded shades; that is, SO soon as 1t Is
put into juxtaposition with navy or pea
cock. At first glance it seems to be of
the electric family, as naturally it should
be, but it is much more dull, fact which
does not seem quite just to the great
modern magician whose name it bears.
At any rate, this new blue seems to take
with woman generally, and bids fair to be
tremendously popular for the simpler type
of tailormades. One reason is that navy
has been used for so long and that pea
cock is rather startling and has a way
of swearing at any other tint of azure
l. -
dull tone is always practical shade for
year-round utility wear, 1t is the best Of all
colors for the woman who, greatly against
her natural inclination, must make one
costume do duty for a variety Of occa-
sions.
Ultra Smart TaiIormades.
An ultra smart type of the tailormade
autumn costume, but one which will be
distinctly out of date when the Direc-
toire fad has died the sudden and violent
death which many people predict for II,
consists Of gored-pleated walking skirt
with '.make-believe'' split sides trimmed
with black silk braid military ornaments,
and an attached high girdle, also elabor-
ately braid trimmed, and SO shaped as to
greatly shorten the apparent length OF the
waist. The coat has all Of the fascinating
features Of the extreme Directoire mode
and none Of it's eccentricities. There Is
the waist length, back and front tight
fitting little jacket, with the elongated
side tabs, the short, turned back revers,
the ornate waistcoat Of the French dandy,
the big fancy buttons, the high turnover
collar and sash. But there the resem-
blance ends, for the sleeves, while long
and small, are not so close as to make
the arm look like dangling, useless pins,
and the shoulders are cut in wide effect,
rather than in manner calculated to
give the nsrrow-chested appearance Of the
eighteenth century dude. 1t is Just wee
bit theatric, this little imitation of the
Directoire, and only to be essayed by a

white striped pongee, or linen, widely
turned back cuffs and high turnover col
lars. They supplement this touch Of con-
trasting shades by replacing the ordinary
buttons on the coats, with huge affairs
covered with the same material as that
forming the collar and cuffs. Several
trihing changes to be made In the ordi-
nary linen coat of ordinary length and
reasonably clever tailoring will aid inn

short-waisted Effects.
The short-waisted effect at the back of
the tailored coat is one of the features
which gives 1t the. right to lay claim to
the title Of Directoire. This shortening
process is gained In two ways. The
model most in evidence has the short ap-
pearance at the waistline, simply because
the back forms are slightly widened at
that point, giving the entire garment
loose appearance. This effect Is fre-
quently accentuated by the arrangement
of the braid trimmings or satin bandings.
