khaki in its various shades, trimmed
with passementerie applications, en-
broidery and soutache in matching
metallic effects. Not only is silk bro
cade employed for the lining of these
wraps, but it is used in large patterns
for their outside, the tinsel threads
employed in their weaving adding to
its brilliancy and giving additional
reason for the increasing popularity
of fringes which appear on many of

After several years of comparative
retirement, sealskin is to be fashion
able again this winter. But the in
sane craze for sealskin coats in for
mer years, which led almost to the
extinction of the fur-bearing seals,
has made sealskin SO costly that at
present it is far beyond the means of
the ordinary woman. Only the rich
est women will be able to afford a
genuine sealskin coat this winter, as
they will be from five to seven
Fights length, requiring a great deal
of material.
AS to fabric, the silk-covered hat
undoubtedly leads this season, and
the old-fashioned ribbed of ottoman
silk is greatly in evidence, which
alone adds to the weight of the hat.
Beavers are in vogue, the old-fashion-
ed satin covered frames are in again
and yet many felt hats are also
shown, in combination with heavy silk
trimmings. Velvet hats seem to have
gone completely out of style. EX-
IRENE styles, suggesting the Merry
Widow, seem almost to touch the
shoulders One of the most notable
features in the trimming of hats this
season are the large wings and feath-
cred bandeaux, or tPocahontas effect
that encircle the crowns and in some
instances droop over the back of the
brim.

THE oLD-TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated To at

The diary of Manasse Cutler. the
founder of Ohio, and the author of the
ordinance of 1887, gives an account Of a
visit he made to Mount Vernon two
years after Gen. Washington's death.
We say Seen" Washington, for that
was what Mrs. Washington was
pleased to call him-a copy for all
those good women whose husbands
have won them honor on the field Of
war.
Mr.. Cutler says it was the desire Of
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
in time for breakfast q o'clock with
Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
and worse horses detained them, so
they did not reach there until about
10, which Mrs. Washington regretted
but she said: breakfast would be
ready in a few minutes" The dairy

Primitive Makers of Cantu Lace.

OF all the industries in the world the
manufacture of Cantu laces by the
peasants following this pursuit in Mi
Ian, Italy. is the most primitive, con-
sidering the great number of peasants
employed in their manufacture. Can
tn laces are not the product of fac
tories, but are made in the homes OF
the peasants. So writes Louis c. Kane
IN the Technical World Magazine. The
peasants are supplied with the linen
yarn, the required tools and the de-
signs on which the laces are woven by
the manufacturer. who takes the ord
ers from the buyers from Paris, Lon
don or New York. The latter visit

tain design, place them with the man.
ufacturer and he in turn let's out the
patterns, wooden needles and cloth
drums and linen yarn necessary for
the work to those peasants in his en-
plOy.
1t is estimated from statistics gath
cred during the past year by those IA
mi!iar with the industry that no less
than 5000 women and children are
employed in the summer months In
the manufacture of Cantu lace. 1t Is
a life study among them and efforts
have been made the world over to
initiate the accomplishment Of these
peasants, but to no avail, as the knack
of the art seems to be born in them
and they work their fingers with amaz-
ing rapidity and skill.
When they bring their work to the
manufacturer it is in disconnected sec
tions and loose ends and he turns 1t
over to an expert finisher who pre-
pares it for the market. So skillful are
these expert finishers that when the
loose pieces are stitched together by
them and the linen centers laundered
and inserted 1t appears to be single
work from one pair of hands. TINS
finishing process costs very little, an
expert finisher receiving forty cents
day and doing her family housework
as well. In great many instances
the finisher is a member of the manu-
facturer's family.
