bic tea gown in no wise differs from the
regulation dinner dress save that the
shoulders of It's wearer are partially COW
cred. and that the sleeves are of a some
what different character and Of decid-
eddy negliSe order, although scarcely
covering the elbows. Lace also contrib
utes largely to the development of negli-
ges, which. however, are never mistaken
by the initiated for tea gowns. as they
are infinitely more simple in design and
do not have skirts of transparent ma
terials. although their coats or matinees
may be, and often are, of lace, for the
thrifty woman realizes that an ancient
gown of that material may easily be cut
over into an empire sacQue.
Dinner and Bridge Coats.
Dinner and bridge coats are developed
of almost any material that is ornate and
silken, but chiefly of brocaded silk in
pompadour effects on a white or pale
colored ground. These are worn with any
trained skirt OF net, lace. silk, satin or
velvet so long as the colorings of the two
garments do not clash Many women use
them altogether as home evening cos
tunes. as they are less neglige than tea
gowns, as we'll as less costly, and also
serve to prolong the usefulness OF any
extra skirts that may be on hand. 1t is
thus that many a bride-to-be is planning
to utilize various bail dresses OF past
seasons and thus save money for the
several new fur sets which she longs to
possess, the utility coat, which Is an alb
solute necessity or for the extra evening
wrap of embroidered velvet or satin,
which she imagines she needs.
Two Tailored Suits.
Every young woman should include In
her trousseau at least two tailored suits
for knockabout purposes. One Of them
should be of a dust-shedding English mo-
hair, in black, green. brown or blue,
checked with white. and the other should
be of serge or cheviot in Sc me dark shade.
She will thus always have at hand a
neat street costume, when one suit is
being pressed and sponged the other can
be in commission. If she does not care to
she may wear the tailored skirts. with
pretty muslin blouSes, or those of silk or
fine soft flannel in simple shirt design.
Small and Large Hats.
A bride-to-be should provide herself
with at least six hats and four of them
should be large. The one worn with the
directoire going-away gown should be
somewhat on the poke order and provided
with strings which may be tied at one
side or merely looped. according to which
ever arrangement is most becoming
There should be one dark velvet plume
trimmed large shape and another of net
or lace, equally elaborate, as well as two
closely fitting shapes of simplest design
and a tailored confection such as the
Newport" which will answer for rough
weather, as well as for motoring.

chiffon velvet for it is we'll understood
sartorial rule that so soon a woman
has taken upon herself the dignitieS of
matrimony she may correctly assume the
garb of an elderly dowager. On such
evening gowns there is placed a great
deal of self-colored chenille embroidery
or gold bullion trimming in the shape of
embroidered filet lace bands, unless the
Greek ideas are carried out, in which case
the draperies. of whatever sort, are over
skirts of contrasting fabric, such as
velvet or satin over gold filet narrow
bands of similar mesh being used to de-
fine the waist and outline the bodice
decolletage.
Stunning Travelling Gowns.
Since many fashionable welded couples
elect to take their honeymoon tour in an
automobile, the travelling costume of the
bride now shows radical departures from
the simply tailored, soberly shaded suit of
few years ago, when it was the aim Of
every we'll bred pair to attract as little
attention as possible. Some of the travel
ing gowns that are being made up for
October brides are of fine broadcloth
in the light shades of blue and brown and
usually in three pieces, the trained skirt
and deliberately trimmed bodice of the
princesse gown being supposed to repre-
sent two pieces, and the long and fanci-
fully shaped drectorie empire coat the
third section. Not always are these cos
tunes of one material trimmed with satin
or silk, for 1t is the fad of the moment
to have the gown of heavy corded OTTO
man or satin and the coat of cloth or vice
versa.
Velvet and Velveteen.
The English fashion of having velvet
or velveteen going-away costumes is be-
ginning to obtain on this side of the At
lantic. If bride is to travel luxuriously,
she may quite properly adopt this style of
custom, particularly as she need not then
carry SO much luggage. as the skirt and
bodice, with it's lace or net guimpe, will
answer nicely for dinner at an American
hotel Of the less fashionable type, where,
happily, the English fashion of dining in
full dress is not in vogue. Many of these
velvet and velveteen costumes include a
coat and a long and a short skirt, for
they are usually developed in some dark
color and may thus be worn on the street
as we'll as in the house during the morn
ing or the afternoon.
Tea Gowns and Negliges.
No longer is the tea gown confused with
the neglige, nor to be worn as such, for
while it is far and away more comforta-
BILE than the ordinary dinner gown. it has
become almost elaborate and is con-
sidered quite as correct for informal din
ing and evenings at home. The tea gown
as now developed shows nearly as much
lace or chiffon as q ball gown, and often
it really is such a costume, slightly al
tered by means of a lon lace or en-
broidered net coat, with or without
sleeves and embelished with a satin sash
In fact, it may be said that the fashiona-

FIRE AT PRATTVILLE.
Forty Bales of Cotton Burn While
 PIIed Up at Ginnerx

Prattville, Sept. Especial. )-Fire was discovered early this morning in bales of cotton piled up at the gin- nery Of the Autauga Fillmore Ginning Co, located on the Louisville & Nash vile railroad about three miles east Of this place. It was about four o'clock and no help could be secured. so about forty bales of cotton belonging to the various customers of the ginnncry were consumed by the fire.
 The loss falls heavily on soroA of the customers. It appears that the cotton had been piled up to be out of the way.
 The Ginnery Company is erecting A water tank there for protection against fires, and if 1t had been delayed for two or three days more, the few who gathered at the fire this morning could have fought and saved perhaps half of the cotton that wes destroyed.
 The Southern Bell Telephone Co. will begin at an early date to build It's lines from Prattville to Billings ley and Autaugaville. and. of course, will take in the intermediate points. This will be of great advantage to Prattville in connecting 1t with prac- ttcally all the remaining parts of the county by phone.
 The county board of revenue met in called session today and ordered an election for a special tax to be ap- piled to the sch ool fund of the county. This will be voted on at the general election in November.

Bark en Route to Mobile Goes on Rec
 in storm.


 in storm.
 Mobile Sept. 23.--A cablegranl re- ceived here to-day contains the infor- nation of the loss of the NorWegian Bark Norge Zacharlasen master, on the reefs of Morant Keys. hfty-nve miles south of Kingston, Jamaica, in the recent hurricane which swept over that part of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Captain Zachariasen and members of the crew were taken from the vessel and landed at Kingston.
 The Norge is said to be a total loss, bringing to a close an eventfui career of a vessel that has played a promi- nent role in two West Indian hurri- canes.
 The Norge was vessel of L5SO tons and sailed from La Platta for Falmouth on July 29. She was en route from the River Platte to Mo- bile to load a cargo of lumber. While off Morant Keys the Norge encoun- and was driven ashore and wrecked.
 The Norge was wrecked near Mo- bile in 1906. and was one of the sur Nivors of the terrible West Indian hur- ricane of September 26, 1906 and will be readily recalled by Mobilians and shipping interests in particular.
 The Norge was anchored in the low CT bay when the 1908 hurricane broke over this part of the gulf. Every member of the crew except one, and the captains wife and children were lost.

other Losses in storm.

Mobile, Sept 2-As the turbulent condition of the Gulf and Atlantic sub sides and delayed vessels reach Atlantic and Gulf ports. the loss of property and life through the recent West In dian hurricane increases.
 While the number of vessels lost. stranded or otherwise affected by the hurricane is nothing in comparison to the terrible slaughter of marine property and life incident to the 1906 hurricane Southern maritime com merce has uffered considerably.
 Vessels plying the Atlantic. espe- cially those bound for Colon and Ja- maican ports. out of Northern ports. have suffered the most.
 As the days pass, other reports of sea tragedies will come. One of the latest reaching Mobile is the loss of Captain Aarsvild. a skipper who is widelJ known in shipping at this port and who was for years identified with the fruit trade between Gulf ports and South America. Captain Aarsvold was washed into the sea from his vessel when battling with the recent hurrI- cane off the coast of Cuba.
 The cablegram received here con- corning the tragedy gave no details. At the time he was master of the Nor wegian steamer Senator. 620 tons. and was bound from Port Antonio, Cuba, for New York.
