There is a fad this fall for these trans
parent b'ouses. Two-piece suits must
often be worn to matinee or restaurant
luncheon, and something more dressy
than even the handsomest lingerie blouse
is required. very dainty and inexpen-

one does not care to invest in silk one.
A very pretty blue net blouse was laid in
inch wide tucks. the net being tucked be-
fore the blouse sections were cut out.
This net blouse was rounded out two
inches below the collar line, and the
roundabout portion was finished with
fiat band of blue silk matching. not the
net, but-and here was the touch of
French chic-the color produced by the
net over the VIII tie lining. The top of the
blouse was slashed down six inches at
the left side of the front and two pleated

of a separate waist and skirt-the correct
notion now.
In fact. the one-piece costume is no
longer ultra correct; all the French
gowns having bodices made quite sepa-
rately from the skirts-a fact quite evil

costumes are donned hastily by the man

again the familiar and deplorable hiatus
between skirt belt and bodice edge.
Two charming French frocks. showing
the new notion of separate bodice and

and elaborate than the costume intended
for wear with hat and wraps.
The Louis XVI frock will interest
every woman because of it's radical diff
ference from last years style. This
pretty costume has all the earmarks OF
the new Louis mode. Two fabrics in
combination are used, the petticoat being
of pinkish gray permo fabric in frou-

draped back to show the petticoat. being

coats over dressy frocks of light silk and

There is wide opportunity for individual
taste expression in these visiting coats.
Some of the models cover the frock be-
meath almost to the skirt hem, the fronts
opening very low-almost at the hip, with
a cord and button fastening or a metal
clasp. Others are in wrap style-almost
like old-fashioned dolmans, with sleeves
and back in one and a draped effect at
the front.

separate from the skirt and has the

Roosevelt's administration is established not only by the circumstances under which he was introduced to the intimacy of MT. Roosevelt's political confidence in the beginning of their acquaintance but by the fact that the loyalty which is the vital spirit of the modern newspaper reporters relations with his employer made 1t MT. Denisons duty, in the pass ing of time, to observe not only the activities of MT. Roosevelt which were of passing public interest, but those which might engage the peculiar criti- cisms of his employer the Sun. Until MT. Denison ceased active connection with the Sun, in 1905, the delicate bal ance between his individual friendship with the President and that loyalty which was the due of the publisher of the Sun was kept successfully.
 What is the use," said Theodore Roosevelt, "of feeling out and tabulat- ing the pulse of the people when every good red -blooded American in office or out has a pulse of his own which tells him how the rest of the people feel?'
 There you are. To this reviewer that is the best description in few words of MT. Roosevelt yet seen in print.
 MT. Denison in balancing the ledger. so to speak, finds: When the house has been cleaned and refurnished, will it not be more comfortable, more san itary, less cluttered and less hypocriti- cal house than 1t was before the fight? We shall have. for instance. the Panama canal If may read that we ought to have a sea-level canal. in- stead of lock canal. = The point Is there will be canal.

 ''The Gorgeous Borgia' is first rate. "The Explorer" by w. Somerset Maugh- an: Baker-Taylor Company.
 The Explorer is young chap, wealthy, calm, brave-all the good qualities had he, allied with strength of mind, body and soul who loved an English girl, pretty and so forth, very desperately. The eX- plorer takes the young brother of his sweetheart out to Africa to make a man of him, but this brother soon falls oy the wayside, so to speak-he goes wrong, " and this explorer, loving the sister of the fallen-being the judge, jury and prose- cutting attorney, condemns the wayward young chap to lead forlorn hope against @ party of warning savages
 In the first place, the poor girl had had an awful time of it. She is really kept in a vale of tears from the beginning to the end of the book. Her father started the tear business by losing his fortune and the ancestral home in the stock market. After being arrested for fraud, tried, con- victed, and put in jail. he gets out and is ready to die to relieve the situation so much as he can by dying-which he does very lingeringly, causing much fearful ness, you can be sure.
 With her father dead at last, and the brother fallen by the wayside aforesaid, the poor girl exists only for her lover The Explorer, Then he goes up against 1t literally in causing the heroine more tears for enemies tell her that he had de- liberately caused the death of the beloved but fallen brother. She cannot, certainly she ought not, to love the man who as- sisted in the death of her brother. On the other hand how can she prevent loving the Explorer. Then he goes up against While all these doubts are permeating her brain, causing untold number of tears, the girl hears that the Explorer is going back to Africa to find that long-lost brother. The Explorer will not confound his ene- mics by telling his sweetheart the truth

he rather would face misunderstanulng than unbend to such maneuverng. So the girl goes to hlm-she knows he goes to almost certain death, so the bent bough breaks, as 1t were, when she falls upon his neck and begs that he let the brother be-and so on.
 The book, notwithstanding all the tears, is quite an interesting volume. MT. Maughan Is celebrated for the wittiest kind of dialogue in his books-this book Is no exception. The volume is well con- structed, the discriminating, those who prefer we'll written books to excitement purveyors, will derive from. the reading of "The Explorer much pleasure and profit. One can hardly lose In reading anything that MT. Maughan writes. Certainly not in dallying with "The Explorer
 Seven Years of Roosevelt" by Lindsay
 Denison. Circle Publishing Co.).
 MT. Lindsay Denison, in the March number of the Circle Magazine, gives the impressions of a newspaperman and trained observer of Theodore Roose- welt for seven years. On the day when MT. Roosevelt was nominated for gov ernor by the republican party of New York, In September 1898, MT. Denison was assigned by the New York Sun to report his movements and utterances from that time forth. Charles A. Dana, the directing proprietor and editor Of the Sun, and his successor. William M. Laffan, had been responsible for the appointment of MT. Roosevelt to be Assistant Secretary Of the Navy when the Spanish war was imminent and in- directly for his selection as guberna- torial candidate. MT. Laffan is known to have had for MT. Roosevelt in 1898 an affection which has been described, 1t is said, faitfully-as paternaL The , change In this sentiment, not only In the estimation of the owner of the Sun, but in that of the element of the finan- cial, business and political community of which MT.

proposition we become little skittish in approving in advance those books which come seemingly by the clock rather than force themselves out.
 This reviewer has read most of MT. McCarthy's books. 'The Gorgeous Bor gia," in the opinion of this department. is the best thing that MT. Mccarthy has done-and he Is supposed to have ac- complished no little in the writing of books.
 Of course the character of Pope Alex ander and his two notorious sons, the Duke of Gandia, the elder, and Caesar Borgia, the younger made a cardinal of the church by his father; to say noth- ing of the breaker-up of happy homes and hearts, Lucretia-present alluring op- portunities for the display of an authors talent. MT Mccarthy has we'll handled his opportunity. He doesn't picture Caesar Borgia any better than history shows him to have been-which is some thing we should be grateful for to MT. Mccarthy Most writers of historical TO- mances, so-called feci called upon, 1t does seem, to make a little tin god out of some notorious criminal of history.
 MT Mccarthy has simply put into the life of Caesar Borgia real heart-interest love story: one that he could bring close home to his readers. In other words, the novel which is very pleasing, very in teresting all the way through, deals with that tyrant, Caesar Borgia the terror of Rome in the fifteenth century. who turned happiness into misery, song into groans, life into death, for the sake of cruelty that was in himself. He was .'as beautiful as a tiger and as bright and strong as a tiger, and truly as cruel as a tiger''-this gorgeous Borgia.
 In the story MT Mccarthy permits Caesar to play the love game in disguise. finding an unsuspecting Roman girl who is beautiful as a pagan and innocent as a saint, first murdering his brother the Duke of Gandia. The girl In her tender ignorant beauty is deceived and adores him. Herself of the House of Orsini she is elected to slay the tyrant, not dreaming that he is her lover.
