WAIST LINE is GOING UP
Return Of the Empire Style Presaged
by tho Gowns Seen at the
Paris Races.

Waist lines were up and now are
down; but with imperishable exuber-
ance they are going up again. This Is
the latest style In Paris. the Wall street
Of fashion.
In other words. the empire styles
are returning. and those OF rs who
still have our high-waisted gowns Of
last year would better bide our time
and wait for their return to favor.
This return is presaged In a thou

with coat suits at the Paris races, by
the boleros of different color from their
shirts, by the high girdles caught al
most under the arms, and the full.
long skirts that fall from these girdles,
by the fashionable frill Itself. which
is getting shorter and shorter, until it
is becoming the actual empire mode.
Black velvet Is see everywhere on
hats and shoes, in fact the grand chic
is to wear black velvet shoes with

snake annals of central and northern
Pennsylvania, the recognized RATHER
country, have been appealed to to

"city Beautiful Plan" Being Taken UP
in German CapitaI-Emperor 10
Deeply Interested In New

Berlin.-The garden CITY," or city
beautiful pian," which is causing such
a wonderful transformation in the sub
urbs of London and other English cit
les, is being taken up in Germany. and
Berlin is to be extended in all dlrec-
lions on a scale of beauty and in a
way that will give American travellers
e ideas On the subject of municipal
adornment. The emperor is deeply
interested in the project, it is an

Berlin has grown up in a peculiar
way. The whole metropolis has been
built up solidly to it's limits to a height
of i've and six stories, and then 1t
stops suddenly, and open farming coun-
try begins Immediately beyond. This
open land is divided, In old time Ger
man style, into what are known as
blowing strips" These are often only
80 or 60 feet wide by frequently a
mile in length. The holder of these
strips, in many cases the original peas
ant owners, or their descendants, are
usually very stubborn, and will not
consent to their holdings being cut
into streets and reapportioned. This
has seriously hindered the growth of
Berlin beyond its original boundaries.
Some of the strips are valued at a
million marks. This has been the
greatest problem in the way and has
required unusual skill in laying out
suburbs.

FASHIONS FOR FALL
COSTUME or PROPERLY DRESSED
WOMAN DESCRIBED.
Hat 10 . High-crowned, Wide
6rimmed Beaver, Suit of Broad
cloth In semiEmpire Style
Wide Fur Scarf ana Muff.

1t is impossible to give a better re-
sumo of the fall fashions in general
than by taking as text one modish
woman properly gowned. From hat
to skirt such a woman illustrates adj
mirably all the newest and smartest
tendencies.
The hat first. Then new high.
crowned and wide-brimmed beaver,
much wider in the back than in the
front, where the brim is lowered as

but the lining is of old-rose satin. .
feature that Is to be marked in au-
tumn millinery. Not only hats, how
ever, but suits also are to be lined
with silk or satin of strongly con-
trasting color-a sort of reaction from
the somber shades that In general
fashion has imposed upon US.
The willow plume, OF a slightly
brighter old rose, is arranged rather
far back on the right side, in the up
standing military effect that we have
renamed the chantecler. There is no
other trimming on the hat, the effect
aimed at being rather striking sim
plicity than ornate elaboration.
The suit IL Of plum-colored broad
cloth, cut in a semi-empire style, with
lines closely conforming to the figure,
with a swallow-tail coat whose waist
line is higher than we have been ac-
customed to seeing of late. The
sleeves are full-length and rather
loose, widened In sailor fashion at the
cuffs and ornameited with a row Of
i've large white pearl buttons.
These buttons are repeated at the
side of the skirt, which is narrow in
cut without being tight, and itself is
clinging and almost trailed at the bot
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 coun-
tiers this fall.
The wide fur scarf and mum are ad-
mirable. examples of the autumn fash
ions in furs. Gray shares with white
and black the favor of the f~ur-wearers
(human, not animal!), and where the
nature of the fur will not allow Of
very wide effects, the strips are sewn
together in striped effect. Another
hint to the wise: Line your muffs
with white satin, for white gloves are
to be very popular and they are easily
soiled.
Another distinctly fashionable touch
Is the single rose, real or artificial,
fastened into the fur scarf. just where
1t crosses, and contrasting harmoni-
ously 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.
1t will be noted that our dainty lady
wears high, buttoned shoes, Of cloth
topped kid, and that her separate
blouse is OF q messaline silk. In color
midway between the plum Of her suit
and the old rose Of her plume.
Thus equipped. our maiden may go
forth triumphantly into the world of

TIPLESS HOTEL IS A SUCCESS
Experiment In London Has Worked
Well-Guests Must Abide BY
Rules or Quit HosteIry.

London.-The experiment of a non
tip hotel in the Strand in London has
proved a success. Since the establish
ment was opened a year ago there has
not been a vacant bedroom, a record
which could not be equaled by any
other London hotel. Every day the
management has had to refuse visit
ors. Altogether nearly a quarter OF Q
million guests have stayed at the notei
during the 344 days it has been open.
The success of the hotel, the direc-
tors believe is mainly due to the nom
tip rule. Guests are forbidden to oner
to any servant of the hotel a graf
uity. and any servant found accepting
one is instantly dismissed. People
know exactly what it is going to cost
them before they set foot in the hotel,
and when they pay their bill there Is
no need for them to put their hands In
to their pockets to tip anybody.
Although the rule against tipping Is
rigidly enforced by the management.
there have been visitors who have In
sisted upon offering gratuities. In or
der to protect the servants from temp
tation the management has had to re-
quest these visitors either to abide by
the regulations or to seek accommoda-
ton elsewhere.
The management has had no dificul-
ty in securing plenty Of walters and
chambermaids despite the fact that
they receive no tips.

ATCHISoN's ORDER OF SPINS
Unmarried, and c%ontented WithaI,
They Have Mapped Out for
Themselves a Pious City.

There vas called a meeting of the
Ancient Order of Spins last evening.
and papers were read on every sub
ject, from removing grease from car
pets to the sad memories that attach
to a bunch of old letters. The Spins
were having a hilarious time when a
visiting Spin got up to make a few re-
marks. She said that, while they are
happy now, there was a sad time COM
ing. Think Of the day." she said,
when, having no husbands or chill
dren, you will be all alone" There
was a sniff and then a snort as Spin
after Spin recalled wives and mothers
who are alone from daylight till dark,
except when some member of the fam
lily wants waiting on. The shifting
and snorting increased in volume as
Spin after Spin told of her freedom
from worry, her independence in
financial matters and the joy of doing
as she pleased. But we must not
take offense at what our sister has
said," one Spin remarked. Let us
show our good intentions by calling
on every lonesome wife and mother
we know This al six weeks ago.
and though the Spins have devoted
every afternoon and evening since to
this missionary work, they haven't
made half the rounds yet.-Atchison

BERLIN BEAUTY PLANS

tial traffic streets are to be carried
out scientifically, while intermediate
residential streets are to be made
most agreeable places to live in. There
will be intermittent use of trees, or
short rows Of trees, or small trees,
shaped open spaces at a street corner,
all of which break the line of a street
and give every street its own individ-
uality. This type of planning per-
mits the streets to rise and fall with
the natural grades in the suburbs. No
street Is to continue in an absolutely
straight line, as in America, nor do
cross streets intersect opposite to
each other. The streets are to be OF
different widths, and e the same
street will vary as to width. Some
houses will set back, others will pro-
ject. This will give a most pictur-
esque and old-time air to the neigh
borhood.
More than $4,000 has been spent
in plans, and the best architects and
landscape gardeners in Germany have
contributed their ideas. The New
York playground plan is to be tried.
A suburb beautiful is being laid out
near Dresden. another near Nurem-
burg, and still another on the out
skirts of Munich. The Swiss are try
ing the plan just on the borders of
Berne. A garden city" Is growing up
close to Dourges, In France. The
same general principles are being fol-
lowed in all these, the idea being to
create within easy distance Of the
large city an independent community
on copartnership lines, with all the
features of a complete town. Facto-
ries are encouraged, but they are per-
mitted to locate only on the side
where the prevailing winds will carry
their smoke away from the town.
Dusseldorf and Antwerp are con-
sidering the scheme.

FURs IN ENGLAND CHEAPER
Lord strathcona Reports Great In
crease In Export From Canada
Reduces Prices.

London.-There is some prospect OF
a fall next year in the present high
price of furs.
Presiding the other day at the an
nual meeting of the Hudson's Bay
company, Lord Strathcona said the re-
ports from Canada indicated that
there were evidences OF continued In
crease in the number OF fur bearing
animals, which justified the anticipa-
ton that there would be a further In
crease in the present year in the fur
collection which would be available
for 1911.
Any material increase in furs would
have the effect Of reducing the enor-
mously high prices which had pre-
vailed in the fur market.
