Fall Fashions

with silk or satin OF strongly contrast

sember shades that in general fashion
has imposed upon us
The willow plume. OF a slightly brisht-
or old rose. IL arranged rather far hack
on the right side. In the upsta ndinx mill
tary effect that We have renamed the
chantecler. There Is no other trimming
on the hat. the effect aimed At being
rather striking simplicity than ornate
elaboration
The suit Is OF plum-colored broadcloth,
cut IN "a semiempire style, with lines
closely conforming to the ngure. with q
swallow-tail coat whose waist line is
higher than we have been accustomed
to seeing Of late. The sleeves are full

TOM The coat Is double breasted and
fastened by these same pearl buttons.
White, black and smoked pearls are
to be very much seen on button counters
this fall

mirable examples OF the autumn fash

nature Of the fur will not allow of

together in striped effect. Another hint

satin. for white gloves are to be very
popular, and they are easily soiled.
Another distinctly fashionable touch
10 the single rose. real or artificial,
fastened into the fur scarf, just where
1t crosses, and contrasting harmoniously
with the color Of the costume. The
craze for artificial flowers Of rice paper
and silk tissue continues, and roses are
among the prime favorites.

Glove Fashions

Both long and short white gloves

Owing TO the dark colors of even
dress costumes this fall. matched gloves
will not be much in demand, but black
will be worn instead.
The short and three-Quarter-length
sleeves call for long gloves. and since
this style prevails in dress gowns. most
of these long gloves will be Of kid and
silk

Long gloves are no longer worn loose

smoothly and tightly. Twelve-button
lengths. therefore, are TO be preferred
to sixteen button
Pastel shades will he chiefly worn for
evening. but soft mode will be much in
favor for street dress wear also.

Wealthy Negress Dies.

Lexington, Ky.-Margaret Pryor,
who died here, was the wealthiest
and one of the most widely known
colored women in Kentucky. When
Maj. B. G. Thomas, a noted turfman,
died here some years ago, he be-
queathed his residence and other
property to the value of about $780,
900 to the woman known familiarly
as Aunt Margaret" who had been
domestic in the family for fifty
years. Her cooking and her old fash
ioned manners made strong impress
sion upon every guest at the old
Thomas home.

Governor Gillett made bold to quote
the president as being strongly in IA

identified himself with the movement
and has given orders that number
of expert reports shall be laid be-
fore him relating to the possibility
Of preventing such catastrophes as
have recently occurred.
German aeronauts themselves are
thoroughly interested in balloon
reform" Several important clubs
are prepared to support law which
shall make 1t a misdemeanor to as
cend in balloon unless telegraphic
assurance has been received from
the. central meteorological station at
Aix-la-Chapelle that the weather
outlook, as far as human prognos-
tigation can go is favorable. Such
assurances will, of course, be no
guarantee against disaster. Only a
week or two ago, for instance, dur
ing a trial at Stuttgart, in which
Count Zeppelin was sued for dam
ages in connection with the wreck Of
the Zeppelin w at Echterdingen In
August, 1908. it was stated that half
dozen eminent meteorologists had
assured the count on the morning of
the fateful day that conditions far a
cross-country flight were ideal.
Attention has been specially direct
ed to the manner in which balloons
are likely to be struck by lightning.
Accidents Of the kind are not un=
common in the case of dragon kites
and captive balloons, and 1t is we'll
known that the nearer the earth the
aerostat is the likelier it is to be
struck, The incident was not re-
ported, but few weeks ago a So
called "kite-balloon," sent up from
the Berlin astrological institute at

appeared in fame.
AS a rule the free balloon as 1t
ascends acquires the same electric
as the air that surrounds
it, and as there is no difference in
the media of transmission, there is
no spark, and consequently no fire.
On the other hand, it may happen
that the balloon comes between the
earth and electricity attracted to the
earth and that the lightning thus
passes through the balloon. This, it
is believed, was the cause of the acci-
dent at Rome in 1907, when Capt.
Ulivelli of the military airship corps
ascended about a thousand feet In
the presence of the king and queen
of Italy, only from that height to fall
at their feet in his burning balloon.

rain or hail on the balloon it is not
