II is predicted that brown and black
furs, especially sable and zibeline.

coats are of contrasting color, either
of chiffon or soft satin.
Openwork designs are the general
favorites in embroideries, Maderie and
eyelet designs leading
Many of the dress fabrics are shown
in metallic shades and ribbons of the
same tone are to be worn
Shopping bags of chamois colored
suede, mounted in brass, are among
the most stylish ones today.
Quite novel are colored waists OF
white waists embroidered in color or
trimmed with colored bands.
Childrens narrow belts, whether in
patent leather or suede. are TO be
had in a wide range of colors.
Leading waist models have low
necks and elbows sleeves; many are
made with three-quarter or elbow
sleeves.
Table linen is now ornamented with
work, combined with hand embroid-
cry.
There have been seasons when the
shirtwaist was smarter, but never one
when IL was more effective or more
popular.
Special novelties include ombre ef-
fects in artificial silk laces. Embroid-
cry is used on light-colored waists and
costumes.
Leather belts are much seen, but
the belt of the material of the dress,
matching it or contrasting it, is the
favorite.
Cotton crepes are less used for
blouses than last season, but some
beautiful models are made up in the
fine cotton etamines.
Colored velyets are to be popular
this fall. The favorite color is brown.
Others include bronze, steel, navy and
royal blue.
Hugh, colored enamel hatpins have
superseded, the rhinestone for the
moment, but the former, when of
good quality, is always in good
style
Nine out of ten Of the prettiest cost
tune blouses are of chiffon, silk nous

in. lace or contrasting chiffon.
The white linen suit, ornamented
with fax embroidery, composed of a
jaunty little coat and short skirt, is
in great vogue at watering places.

of the smartest materials for hand
some gowns. In fact, the beading
seems to be as popular as it has ever
been.

Blond chorus men, and even those
of the peroxide variety" said he,
have agreed not to work for less than
$50 a week-S10 above the prevailing
market price. The reason is that
the demand is unprecedented, and il
is chiefly due to the changing tastes
of women i'm the audiences. par
ticularly the young women. can
not account for the curious psyscholgy
of it, Possibly it is because blond
men are rare. and women rush for
anything that is the least bizarre.
Most likely, though, it is because these
men have more fash on the stage and
seem more romantic than the brunette
type. We have experimental sew
eral times by having six men with
dark hair and eyes come directly be-
fore a sextet of fiaxen-haired chaps.
The latter always get twice the ap-
plause.
Upset the Profession.
This rage for blonde men on the
part of the women has quite upset the
chorus mems profession. Fellows
who have been in the business for
five or six years and who have al
ways succeeded in getting a position
hitherto pace Broadway in vain. Some
have used peroxide to land an engage
ment that they couldn't otherwise get.
Unless the rage dies down we are
likely to see as much bleaching among
the chorus men as among the chorus
girls"
Last night the musical comedy pro-
ducers who have managed to catch
live specimens of the blond-haired
chorus men refused to let them go
home, but kept them in cages at the
theatres. The present market string
ency will prevail until musical comedy
fashions change again and totally
bald chorus men come into demand.

Rome, Italy.-The audience which
II was believed Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt would have with the pope
Tuesday, did not take place, owing to
the restrictions which the Vitican

refused to accept.
Although the definite negotiations
relating to the audience ended before

however any authorization from Mr..
Roosevelt and interceded with
Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal
secretary, in an endeayor to avoid a
situation which as it now stands has
caused a real sensation in Rome, al
though it was not entirely unexpect-
ed, but his efforts were unavailing.

would be glad of the honor of an
audience with King Victor EN-
manuel and the pope. The audi

be reached relative to an audience
with the pope several kilograms were
passed, and the negotiations were
ended by Mr.. Roosevelts refusing in
anyway to be limited as to his con-

past furnished by his helpmeet with
every indication that he relished each
morsel. He complimented her upon
the dainty manner in which the blue
points were served, the favor of the
PURGE of pea, the seasoning of the fish
and entree, and finally reached de-
licious salad. Adam paused, and with
a worried look on his face he de-
manded of Eve where she found the
ingredients. She enumerated all ex-
cept the lettuce.
"Where did you get those leaves? ?
he demanded.
Why, they were lying on bush

Washington, D. C.-The railroad
bill, otherwise known as the ad-
ministration's amendatory Of the in

been before the house interstate and
foreign commerce committee since
January 10, was reported to the
house by Chairman Mann.
The bill, as amended by the COM
mittee, embraces the chief features Of
some twenty odd measures dealing
with the existing law. The changes
correct the faults as outlined in va
rious court decisions so that the gov
eminent will have, after the passage
of the bill, more active and better
control of the common carriers of the
country.
One important change is that here
after suits, brought by or against the
Interstate Commerce commission,
shall be brought by or against the
United States, and the attorney gen.
eral, in all cases, is to represent the
government.
Another important change is that
which deals with the long and short
haul clause of the existing law. The

circumstances and conditions" are
eliminated so that the railroad can
