without reminding you that Venetian lace was one of the glories of Venice:
 Point lace originated here. Olo
 books in museums show patterns or- iginated by Ventians and reproduceo
 by France, Germany, Belgium ana
 England. I have written how the French carried Venetian lacemaKers away and later, under the persecu-
 tion of the Huguenots, these same
 workers went northward into Eng
 land. At first all other laces were called limitations of the Venetian Tne

 Spain and called Spanish point anu

 These Venetian faces were admlreo
 and purchased by all European coun-
 tries, and Venice made enormous Ior-
 tunes. Men and women alike wore
 lace to an excessive degree. The collar
 and cuff trimmings were composed Q.

 Long pelerines and coats and cloaks and wraps of various furs will be in use for evening wear more than TOT street: for \the latter it is expected that the short coat or jacket from P to 36 inches long will have a vogue.
 Plain and embroidered collars are still holding their own in regular ana low-neck shapes, and it is expected that they will be largely worn throughout the winter with both plain-taiIored tub and silk apd wool waists, and with some of the fanc1er high-neck styles.

Satin-faced fabrics are used Tor dressy lines and poplins promise to be very popular not only for hand some tailored suits, but for long coats and rich costumes.
 Some of the new bows for wear with Dutch and other collars are of red, green, black or blue surah, edged with Persian lowered material or tipped with 1t. Porcelain and china beads of all kinds are used and white Is preferred Cut steel ones are in high favor: so ara small pearls and rhinestones. The latter are called crystals.
 The new fashion of fastening coat sleeves is by link buttons such as are used in a mans shirt. They are not of gold or silver. but made to match the buttons used in front.
 The daintily dotted veil, even the veil with eood-sized chepille~d dots, is a tasteful and becoming accessory, and one may expect it in pretty de- signs during the coming season.
 Velvet evening gowns are strong favorites and show rich incrustat1ons of the popular trimmings and laces; those for street wear are garnltureo, with fur or handsome braids.
 Regarding materials for hats, vel vet has first calll then follow moire, satin. corded silk, hat plush, beaver; Persian effects in silk, satin and cloth of gold: various furs and plushes.
 Several varieties in square mesh veilings are shown. Some Of them are strong in effect, others are Of the filet style, with the designs in ortho- 7 t'ox figures, such as one sees Tn nle' faces.
 While the present moment shows much Persian lace, silk, satin, etc, IT some lines of neckwear, the strong feature of many of the winter styles will be black and white combination effects.
 Whether alone or in combination with other furs or dressy fabrics, seal sable ermine, moleskin, fox, skunk oppossum and good grades of pony and caracul are first favorites in tht fur trade.
 Shadow effects are seen in some O. t.>e new veilings, and these. as well a: tsa simple mesh ones, ar= 70 be hac ie extra widths, so that one ma! surely have veil wide enough TO the broad brimmed hat.

EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH.
BY JOHN ELFRETH WATKINS.

JoHN
The most notable birthday of recent
years occurs this month, when most
OF the royalty tnat reigns to-day will
help "Europe's grand old man.
Francis Joseph l., Emperor of Austria
and King OF Hungary. to celebrate
his entrance upon the ninth decade of
his tragic life.
When this nestor of the worlds
rulers was born, August IS, 1890 none
OF the present heads of great states
had yet seen the light, although Diaz,
of Mexico, came into being when
Francis Joseph was an infant of six
weeks. Indeed, with the exception
OF the King of Greece and Sultan of
Turkey, no independent monarch
reigning to-day was alive even when
Francis Joseph acceded to his throne
in the early winter of 1S4S.
He has reigned longer than any
great ruler of modern times except
Victoria. and if he lives until next
June year he will beat her record of
siXty-three and half years upon the
throne. Next December he will end
the sixty-second year of his reign.
Too Strenuous for Roosevclt.
How strenuous this royal patriarch
still is he proved a few weeks ago
when he planned days program for
Theodore Roosevelt, which included
getting up in the middle of the pre-
vious night and being on the hunting
grounds at sunrise to surprise the willy
capercailzie or wood grouse. And this
was the only proposition made to him
during his triumphal return from Az
rica that seems to have sounded
little too lively for the ex-President
AT any rate, he declined, much TO the
disappointment OF Father Franz
who for two generations has been
known as the mightiest ntmrod among
European royalty. He is said TO pos
sess the worlds finest collection of
hunters trophies, and so fond is he
of the gunner's sport that he reserves
place in his privy council for the
grand huntsman of the empire. This
factotum, who is thereby elevated
above the Cabinet. is the generalissimo
