Some of the New Shades.


 Every season brings new shades in fabrics, and the past few seasons have been unusually prolific in this respect. Last Spring there were more than 40 new shades and the offerings this autumn promise to come well up to that t'number.
 In the purples or lavendersr there are several new additions to the color range
 For instance abesse is an exquisite rich purple that reminds one of the juice of certain grapes. Glycine is one of the most beautiful of the wistaria shades. A curious suggestion of blue and lavender Is rightly named zenith. Lichen, as the name suggests; is a sort of grayish green: there is a touch of white in it. A red that is almost faded bears the name lit de win, while a rich wine-coor Is to be known as ombrosie. In the browns abille Is new shade; it is a very rich yellow with the suggestion of a brown. A warm light brown which is particularly

A Popular Hostess.

The Duchess of Roxburghe will take rank among London's great hostesses next season, say the English newspapers. Ever since Miss Goelets marriage to the Duke of Roxburghe her entry into the social arena in Ia manner befitting her rank and fortune has been looked for ward to at the beginning of every sea- son, but for one reason or another the Duchess has contented herself with play ing a very small part in the summer gayeties.
 Now, however, she has taken Chester field house, one of the biggest mansions in Mayfair, from Lady Burton, and will entertain there In commensurate style.
 The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe have been included in several of the most notable house parties gathered to meet royalty during the present season in Scotland.

Compact Hedge Formed By
 California Priven.

The California prven is fine for sur rounding garden. It makes a pretty compact hedge and can be trimmed into any shape desired. It looks well when trimned with straight sides and perfectly fat across the top. It holds the foliage until near the holidays, and is conse- quently nearly evergreen. It transplants and will adapt itself to almost any kind of soil. Hundreds of thousands of 1t are planted yearly all over the country.
 The variegated althea is one of the best plants to make a low-growing hedge. It is very hardy and proof against dogs or anything else of the kind. The foliage is varegated white and green, and in late summer the wood you will not see the red buds Some obpect to these buds, but others admire them. If you shear them frequently and destroy the towering wood you will hot see the bred buds. You can shear this slant very closely without injuring it in the least and can keep hedge of 1t as low as from one or two feet for quite a number of years,

New Baby's Picture To Tell of
 Birth.

Instead of the conventional engraved cards of parents and newborn child tied with white ribbons, there is 0 novelty card that Is charming.
 It is the hand-painted profile of a babys head on a long, white paper slip. One little hand and the careless frill of lace around the neck is suggested in pen- ell.
 On the white paper is written the name of the newly born and the date of it's birth.
 The long, narrow envelope is also hand made and sealed with the family crest in wax, or a< tiny silver seal with the family initial in the center.
 The day after the great event these cards are mailed to all friends of the couple in all parts of the country.
 If one must pay to have them done, the cost is not slight. but if one IS clever with the brush, it proves pleas ant and simple task.

Autumn.

From the Washntgon Star The skies are changing these autumn
 days
 To gray from the summer blue. The song birds haste from the sylvan
 ways,
 Just as they always do. The rusicators. with pocekts shrunk. Have hied them back to the homeward

 Just as they always do The story is told from year to year; There's nothing entirely new. The fairest blossoms must disappear, Just as they always do. The statesman grave and the hummer

Careful Housekeeper Looks to
 Her Stoves.

with the coming of cool days one be- gins to think of fires" said particular housekeeper. q had my range cleaned in the. spring, of course. but it was used occasionally during the summer. Now, before starting the range for fall and winter use, I shall have 1t looked over carefully again. I find by following this practice I am not subjected to annoyance during the real cold weather. in the way of defects appearing in the stove. One thing I always do when I light my fire in the fall is to put piece of zinc in the stove. Il. Is an old-fashioned practice and one that I have found very helpful. At any rate, never have a smoky chimney. Whether or not l would have were the small piece of zinc not mixed with the fuel don't know, but so successful have I been with it that I do not mean to try to see what would happen without it," she concluded

Although for many weeks it had been my aim and object to make visit to Birmingham Millinery Training school, not until the rush for fall hats and head gear come about did I wend my way toward this very interesting abode. Arriving there, found Mrs Orpha Han sell Hurley, the clever and capable man. ager and founder of this institution, most cordial in her welcome, and with her ac- complished daughter, Miss Maria DeVan Hurley, who, by the way, is one of the finest /musicians that Birmingham has, madc my little journey hither not only one quite instructive but among the most pleasant I have had in many days.
 When we entered the millinery school we were greeted by buzz Of converse tion, which made me think of a delight- full tea party that I had attended only few days before, although in the former case the fingers were working as busily as tongues. and the dozen or more young women present were making bows mod cling chapeaux and sewing flowers like mad
 The girl who sat nearest me where l stood was making something lovely out of a mall of nondescript materials and even as l gazed upon her delft fingers she twisted a piece of gold gauge into a fetching bow, holding it against a black velvet hat, first on one side and then on the other, and finally took pin from be- tween her teeth and adjusted it, prepara- tory to sewing.
 And you are responsible for all this?" I said to Mrs. Hurley, as she went from one pupil to the other, giving instructions here and there. How did you happen to think of such a thing as millinery train ing school?'
 'It has been so long ago." said Mrs Hurley, that l scarcely remember. have had 36 years experience in this sort of work, until now feel like was born to it. I organized the first school of this kind in the United States. But you haven't been here very long, have your" I inquired-->
 Several years" she replied, 'after hav- ing lived in Memphis for a long time" Then you are the Mrs. Hurley who made the lovely hats for the sponsors and maids at the reunion at Memphis last summer aren't you?"
 Yes, 1t was just little patriotic feeling l had, first to do something for the re- union and then to send some of my handi- 1 work back to the town which had been 1 my home for so long"
 And what was the incentive for the founding of the millinery school origin ally?" I asked.
 Merely this" said Mrs. Hurley. q felt that my talents lay in that direction, and my slogan regarding the idea is that 1t is womanly vocation for womanly women. It is an institution where worthy women and girls are taught not only to become self-sustaining, but thoroughly in- dependent without either asking for or accepting positions when following in structions. Have you heard of our every Monday sale" It has been inaugurated. where hats of exquisite handiworlS are sold for cost of material; where shapes are transformed into those most becom- ing the individual By these sales many are benefited, and pupils are perfected as saleswomen."

A New Note in Weddings.

Edith Acworth. a wealthy young woman of Malvern, England has struck a new note in weddings. She became the bride the other day of a Calcutta merchant, and her wedding was designed after paintings by Romney. The Romney wedding inter- ested the women of all England and a natural development has been the an- nouncement of Reynolds weddings" Whistler weddings" and, of course, "Gainsborough weddings" The costumes of Miss Acworth and her six bridesmaids were from paintings in the British Ma tional Gallery. The gown worn by the bride was exact copy of Romney painting of her great-grandaunt. Two boys wore Romney page uniforms, and two baby girls in quaint little dresses looked as if they had stepped straight out of a Romney canvas. Another Rom ney touch was given by rose-pink sashes for the bridesmaids.

Novel Use For Rolling Pin.

She was carefully covering a rolling bin with two thicknesses of flannel when friend joined her. Instantly the new conner expressed surprise at the unusual operation 'I don't wonder you smile,
 said the housewife, as she piled her needle, taking care that not a wrinkle de- stroyed the surface of the tight-httiag coverings of flannel. Guess why l am doing this; manifestly the rolling pin IS to serve some other purpose than the one for which it was originally intended. Now, you see, am slipping this cover of cotton cloth in place. and trying it at either end. As am sure you cannot guess the reason

 The rage for coral has called forth fab-' rics of this hue. One of the most satis- flying of these is called joyeuse. This, for evening wear, is very effective, for it takes the light wondrously.
 In the greens the new tints are many. the variations being very slight. In the dark broadcloths and other heavier mate rial for tailored suits a green which sug- gests rich foliage on a dark day is Tro- jan. A lighter shade, which reminds one of the sunlight on rich leaves or moss, Is Veronese.
 There are countless shades and tints in every one of the fashionable colors There are advantages and disadvantages of this, of course. The artist who appreciates color values has an unsual field for show ing her ability, while persons whose eyes are not so keen run the danger of making mistakes in combining shades.
