much is taken for granted In the case
of a man who starts in business for
himself, the woman under the same
circumstances finds that those with
whom she seeks to establish relations
are from Missouri After she has
shown them. however, she meets with
greater consideration than a man in
some respects. Perhaps one reason for
this is the well-founded and fairly

SILKS FOR AUTUMN.


If early rumors are any indication,
we are going to wear a new sort of
silk in our gowns this fall.
These new silks are to be had in the
plain darker colors, and doubtless will
be used for afternoon costumes and
gowns.
Bengaline and MORE likewise prom
Use to be in favor, as will also the new
jersey cloth. This latter is much like
the fabrics from which our stockings
and our gloves are ~made-think of
whole gowns from it! 1t Is soft and
suppl and will make charming blouses.
Many of the silks incline to dull
effects. rather than the brilliant sheen,
but, of course, these latter will also
be in evidence, for there are too many
women who like lustrous silks to make
it possible for them to be pletely
banished.
