Can't Eliminate the Blouse.

At the close of the summer season
an effort was made to eliminate blouse
or shirtwaist suits but the attempt
was not successful and at the present
there is every Indication that suits
with separate blouses will be worn as
much as ever during the coming win
ter season. Many of the fashionable
shops display large variety of blouse
models of attractive design. One of
the new features in the ready-to-wear
waists is the display of colored lace
and net blouses to match tailor-mades.
Coarse fishnet is the favored mesh
for such model, which are made all
over white, with garnishmcnts of silk
corresponding in colcr with the lace.
These blouses are made with full
length sleeves that are tucked or
shirred from shoulder to hand.
The model most in evidence in the
new fall waists is a simple shirtwaist
with tuckings of some sort, long;
sleeves, front opening in the center
or at one side and finished with big
pearl buttons. There is, of course,
considerable Importance attached to
the cut, for such waist as this must
fit trinity and be carefully tailored If
it is to have style.
The simplar the design of separate
waist the more scrupulous should be
the attention to detail The blouse
maker who has accomplished that fact
and profits by her understanding has
mastered one of the chief secrets of
successful business. 1t is not mere
ly the originality of ideas, but the at
tontion to the minute details of cut,
trimming and ornamentation and the
intuitive. knowledge of what is be-
coming and artistic that has made men

about street suits of mohair, cheviot
or worsted, but with the fine broad
cloth, satins and velvets that are
made up into costumes for ceremoni-
Gus occasions. In this event the
transparent covering of the haiti is
actually quite as substantial and as
warm as one of heavy fabric-must
precisely match the gown in shade,
although its feathers or aigrettes
may afford a distinct note of color re-
lief While a few of these spotted net
corrections are extremely large, they
are best in what is, by courtesy,
termed toque, although many times
larger than the modest proportions of
the original model in this style, be-
cause in addition to the yards of ma
terial that is massed in gathers and
plaits over the crown and frilled
about the edge an enormously large
tuft of feathers is set against the left
side.
Charming little dressing sacques for
cool weather are taking the place
of those in fancy lawns and dotted
Swisses worn in summer. They are
developed of albatross. cashmere and
printed chaillie in two pieces. the half
of each sleeve being cut in one with
the back and the corresponding potion
with the fronts. The only shaping
necessary is to slant the seams from
beneath the arms TO the hips, and all
that is required in the way of finish
ing is a ribbon binding for every edge
and ribbon ties for the throat.
The French Immortalized.
Whatever is smart in dress nova
days bears the name of a person or
epoch famous in French history. The
latest is the Napoleon collar, which has
been brought out on the over with a
wide sweep and is tied or fastened
with a huge satin scarf.
Khaki, buff, suede and all tones OF

A Pretty Street Costume.
Among the pretty street costumes
displayed in one of the fashionable
shops on lower Broadway the other
day was Doucet model in white cloth
trimmed with soutache. The handling
of the sleeves and bodice was espe-
eially good, the lines of fine soutache
with their little loop and button ends
being so disposed as to hide the arm
hole entirely and give the impression
of a bodice and sleeve cut in one.
This effect, with its consequent length
of shoulder line, is considered partic-
ularly chic, and in this instance the
long shoulder line is accentuated by
continuous line of fine all white cord
(pciqghthwy-ux bands bordered xzfifi
embroidery which runs from guimpe
to cuff down the outside of the arm.
Similar embroidery bands bordered
the guimpe and trimmed the bodice
front. Soutache trimming correspond
ing with that on the bodice ornament
ed the side of the skirt and a diagonal
band of the cord embroidery and
soutache run in long diagonal line
across the clinging skirt front. The
jumper, like so many of the daintiest
guimpes in the handsome French
models, was absolutely simple and of
fine tucked net, with high collar and
| frill of the same.
Something New in Hats.
Among the hats recently imported
and now displayed in some OF the large
shops are many interesting and orig
inal creations, showing remarkable
fancy for new and peculiar combina-
lions of color as well as material. In
some of these winter hats spotted
nets are used with charming effect.
These hats, of course. are not intend
ed to be used in connection with run

The New Street Costumes.

The New street Costumes.
New York, Oct. 31.-It is undoubt-
eddy true that majority of the street
costumes turned out by the French
makers this season have the Empire
skirts but there is, after all, a large
percentage of the simpler tailored cos
tunes. the skirts of which end at the
natural waist line, while they leave to
the coat the responsibility for supply
ing the shortened or merely straight
ened waist. The most trying feature
of the average French street suit is the
exaggerated plainness and tightness
of the skirt back. This effect is be-
coming only when associated with the
straightness of back line that goes
with erect and pronounced slender
ness-something, unfortunately, that
not every woman can boast Of
The skirt opened up the side to
show an underskirt, simulated un'
derskirt, or, in extreme cases, more
or less shapely leg. has become SO
common that the later models in dres
sly street suits do not insist upon that
feature. But long lines of buttons
apparently or actually buttoning the
skirt sides or front are as popular as
ever, and in some such cases but
toned-over arrangement, as 1t near:
the skirt bottom, opens to show inset
plaits or braided panel. Whatever
the skirt trimming may be it is ad
justed to emphasize the long lines o.
the frock, and in the long skirteC
street gowns, as in the house and eve
ming gowns, diagonal arrangements Of
skirt trimming often find employment

The Penalty Of Prominence.

Fame, as welleas notoriety, carries
its own reward and its own punish
ment. Fame is sweet, but even the
most famous of men will admit, with
out being submitted to the third de-

often a bitter and disagreeable by
taste. Oscar Hammerstein is one of
those men. He has become famous

It's Always Best to Know the Girl.
Some old fashioned and fossilized
writer's of the present day. who had
the misfortune of being born two or
three hundred years too late, have
lately deplored the decadence OF the
spirit of chivalry which characterized
the golden era of romanticism In Eu-
rope and found its final expression in
the gallantry of the South before the
War. These gentlemen with tntedi-
luvian ideas may be right as to the
fact, but their prejudiced eye seems
to be unable to recognize the reason.
II they would only read the daily pa
pers instead of their musty romances
of past centuries they would know how
dangerous chivalry may be in this pro-
sale age. Only few days ago a GER
tain wealthy business man In this
city. allowed himself TO succumb to
the temptation of rushing to the aid
of beauty in distress and 1t cost him
several hundred dollars and heap of
modification. On the street near his
residence he met woman crying as
II her heart would break. Calamity
that modern knight Grant approached
the maiden in such evident distress
and placed himself at her service. She
accepted promptly, leaned against his
shoulder and while her tears were
rolling down over his coat sleeve. she
-skillfully and deity extracted a
good-sized roll of bills from the
knights inside coat pocket. If such
things happen, is it to be wondered
that chivalry is on the wane?

IT'S Just Killing the Girls.

The Elkins-Abruzzi comedy has
reached its climax and the psycholo-
gical moment for the announcement
has arrived. After the latest an
nouncement, that Miss Elkins is to be
elevated to royal rank before she is
married to the Duke that the King
and the Queen of Italy are, at last,
ready to receive her with open arms
and that the Duke is coming to the
United States to claim his bride, has
brought things to the point where one
Of two things is bound to happen; the
report has TO be confirmed or nailed
down as a lie. This uncertainty is
getting on the nerves of New York
society and should not be tolerated
much longer. II these foreign cores
pondents of yellow hue continue to
send such yarns. half the society girls
on this side of the Atlantic are liable
to come down with nervous prostra
ton.

7: '''!':

New York Oct. Si.-Scarcely a week
passes that not some one. endowed
with more than the ordinary share OF
imaginative power, ventures to inform
the world what President Roosevelt
will do when yhe has completed his
term as wielder of the big Stick"
There may be few things he has not
mentioned with the rest. According
to one story the President intended
to retire from public life after leaving
the White House and to live the sim
pie and strenuous life OF farmer,
awaiting, like a second Cincinnatus
the time when he would be called
away from his pillow by the Will OF the
people to serve another term as
president. Among the professions
selected for him by imaginative writ
ers were those of professor, law
yer. an explorer, hunter OF big
game. a lecturer, manufacturer,
rnine-owner, a balloonist and profess
sional trust-buster. According to the
latest yarn, based upon excellent au-
thority," President Roosevelt has al
ready signed contract with a certain
publishing concern to become associ-
ate editor of their magazine. II Is
stated on the same authority that the
President. while in Africa, will not de-
vote himself altogether to the shoot
ing OF big game, but that he will pen
citrate into the wilderness OF the Con-
go country, to investigate the condi-
tons existing there in behalf of the
magazine with which he is to be as
ISOLATED. There Is no doubt, that Mr..
Roosevelt would make just as able
and competent a magazine writer as
he made a president and, II the story
is actually based upon truth, the pc
riodical literature of the United States
IS to be congratulated on the acquisi-
ton. Judging from the anaemic and
hysterical character OF the American
magazines of the present day, little
infusion of fresh and healthy blood
would be mighty acceptable. But, after
all, why don't they give the poor man
a rest. He surely has deserved IL.

Or rather, Go be more explicit. he was in trouble. lle claims that he was held up by n female footpad ,and parted with sl6s with pretty Ncllic Brown of the brigit light district. Ni of the New York papers, following the day of the al lcged holduy, contained articles lucid " descriptive of ihe sanguinary en. counter. and two papers published pic ture of his brunette sssailant. The New York Telegraph thus describes it:
 Nellie Brown, remarkably pretty and nlso remarkably muscular for her sex, made rcleniicss enemy out of Ed. ward w. McCisve, a mine owner and engineer of Prescott, Ariz. Nellie was held in sl 800 bail for examination m Wednesday on charges of having gar ro,ed, beaten and robbed him of si6s on West Forty fourtd street early yes. terday morning. Just for that MT.

Neatly dress cd and dcmurc looking. MT McClave suspected nothing wrong. His story in court was that she asked him to direct her 10 another street, and as he half turned his head to reply her powerful right arm went about his neck in the most approved style of strangle hold.
 With his head thrown back by a grip that almost paralyzed him, his ss- railant's other hand ripped open his wsitcost. dcftly lifted the wallet in tue inside pocket, and then went through every pocket vita lightning like rapidity.
 Crowd Looks On.
 In not moro than second she had stripped the packets bare and then she lei go of her victim for a moment, emp tied his wallet and cast it into the street.
