Autumn Evening Gowns.

The autumn theatrical season revives
the interest in evening frocks and in
wraps which are equally important to the
playgoer Indeed, the latter are often
more elaborate than the gowns they are
designed to cover, brocaded velvets and
rich furs being the most modish things
of the moment. Embroidered ninons and
chiffons are fur trimmed and lined with
thick satin to give the necessary warmth
and substance which makes them season
able theater and restaurant wraps.
Coiors are cleverly combined. and the
touch of gold and silver is used good
deal One striking dress Of cream satin
charmeuse is beautifully embroidered in
real gold and is almost plain except for
a slight drapery, big shaded rose being
d1e only accent of color in trimming.
violet satin gown yeiled with ninon, on
which gold and mauve flowers are en-
broidered, with the fashionable line OF
dark fur, is a striking dress. Another, OF
vivid tones, is in navy blue satin with
sulphur yellow ninon drapery, with green
printed border and silver embroidery, the
bodice being gracefully draped with lace.
An apricot satin gown with eau de nil
drapery and lace is a pretty harmony in
soft color, and also is a maize satin
covered with ninon bordered with gold
leaf design and edged with a fringe of
gold beads.

In the days of the old count, when the
fourth hand had a suit and wanted it led
to him against the dealers original no
| trump declaration. he was forced to do
one of two things: bid the suit or dou-
BILE. The first made the dealer drop his
no-trumper; the second usually made him
shift to something else.
Some players doubled to show that they
wanted one or the other of the black
suits, and left it to the partner to guess
which. Others doubled only on a spade,
and stood ready to bid three clubs if that
was their suit. even at the risk Of being
doubled and getting set. Every one was
supposed to be willing to bid two tricks
in red suit if it was necessary to save
the game.
The effect Of such bids, If they were
made on a solid suit. was to choke off
the no-trumper at once, SO that they were
useless SO far as defeating the dealer
went. No player was mad enough to
go back to no trumps and bid eight
tricks in it after a sold suit had been
shown against him by one opponent and
the other had been told to lead it. There
fore, the only way to get chance at
beating the no-trumper originally de-
clared by the dealer was to double It,
The new count has not changed this
a particle. The moment the fourth hand
bids two tricks on a suit which the deal
er sees he cannot stop the dealer drops
the no-trumper and plays against the
two-trick bid. Therefore, the fourth
PLAYER cannot afford to make such bid
unless he is willing to assume the con-
tract that goes with it. which he may
do if he thinks it is worth while to lose
something in penalties to keep the game
in.
Many good players believe it pays to
double instead of showing the suit. trust

BOBBY COON MAKES A DISCOVERY.

round, red Mr.. Sun has gone to bed
behind the Purple Hills. But Bobby
is very irregular in his habits. He is
very fond of travelling about in the
night, is Bobby Coon, and when he
does that he sleeps the greater part of

notion to travel about by daylight.
and when he does that, why, of course,
he has to sleep part Of the night. Bobby
Coon is a very lucky chap-very lucky
indeed-for he can see in the dark. and
yet he has no such trouble in seeing
| in the broad daylight as does Hooty the
Owl.
This night of which I am telling you
Bobb Coon had oversight because he

BY this time Bobby Coon had sticks in

there and in two minutes was fast
asleep, just as cOmfOrtaD Die as IL ne

yawned and stretched. At first he
couldn't think where he was. Then he
remembered He was just getting
ready to crawl out of the hollow log
when he heard something which made
him stop and try to sit up so sud
denly that he bumped his head. What
| he heard was the voice of Unc Billy
Possum. and he knew by the sound
that Unc' Billy was sitting on the very
| log in which he himself was hiding.
.'This is the greatest joke that ever
was!" said Unc' Billy. Pretty soon
nobody on the Green Meadows or in
the Green Forest will speak to any
body else excepting me. Yo' cert'nly
have got all yo' oil tricks with yo'."
Yes" replied a voice which Bobby
Coon had never heard before. but which
he knew right away must belong to
some one who had come from way down
south where Unc' Billy Possum and
or Mistah Buzzard had come from.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

It seems suddenly to have occurred to
designers Of furs that there are possi-
bilities In peltry beyond the stereotyped
effects that have been turned out yeH'
after year. Neither coats nor sets
have heretofore shown sufficient variation
to render them particularly interesting,
beyond the fact that furs in themselves
| have a universal interest
This fall, however. no complaints can
legitimately be made. for. extremes seem
to have met, and there are hardly two
models that are alike or even similar
The chief factor in the present situation
is the great leeway allowed in the mat
ter Of combining furs of totally differing
haracteristics, and in using furs and va
rious fabrics in the same garment.
AS in the model sketched, some OF the
most important successes are brought
about by placing a fat fur in juxta-
position with a long-haired pelt Here
one of the wide scarfs of white coney is
used with black fox, the latter to nm
ish the ends and to form the centras
band through the fiat muff. The muff
is prettily frilled at the ends with coral
silk, with which, also, both muff and
scarf are lined.
| For those who do not care for the
long, enyeloping cloakS of fur, which are
none too light Of weight on delicate
shoulders, these new small garments.
| scarfs. capes and various adaptations OF
the dolman will appeal with particular
force. A scarf Of generous proportlons
may be counted remarkably good in
vestment, for they drape to excellent ad-
vantage, if such drapery is preferred to
the straight palmer effects, and they can
be arranged to afford almost any degree
Of protection. where the long coats. all
enveloping are at times uncomfortably
heavy and warm.
All furs are so soft and supple that
their adaptations in the hands OF artistic
designers are practically endless.
Sealskin remains the most fashionable
fur and certainly the most generally be-
coming one for coats, and however badly
worn last years sealskin is, it is pretty
safe to say that something can. be done
with it this year to transform it into a
smart garment. even if as last resort
it has to be cut to half length and fash

ShaWIs Made of Hair.

The dear ambition of the woman of half
a century ago was to possess a real cash
mere shawl.
1t was in France that the hair of the
cashmere goat was first esteemed for the
making of shawls, the silky substance OF
which allied to their exquisite drapery
possibilities, was their greatest fasc1na-
ton White hair of the common italian
goat is imported for carpet manufacture
There is also imported white hair of the
Siberian goat, the shorter lengths of which
are used in carpet making and the longer
for various purposes.
The most costly of all the white animal
hairs imported is that of the camel The
camel is commonly of a dirty brown In
color but parts of it's body may be white
as may be streaks in its name, called
veins The camel's hair is of superior
strength, and its fine white hair of suffi-
cient length is used as a substitute for
natural white human hair.
The long white hair of the Syrian goat
is as fine as human hair, in place of which
il is used for some special purposes, prln-
cipally for the making of theatrical wigs
and boards.

Mans Dress Coat for Girl.

Among the new coat models for au-
tumn wear a good many cutaway effects
are noticeable. A little more extreme. but
like the cutaway coat, is a fascinating
model like a mans dress coat, very long
at the back and sloped away at the sides.
1t is not becoming to every type of figure,
but looks well upon a tall and slender
girl.
The coat in this case is made of broad
cloth or heavy satin, while the skirt is
carried out in a lightweight supple silk
and wool fabric of solid color striped
with green. blue or burnt orange. The
severe cut Of the coat and the simplicity
Of the skirt make the costume very
striking.

Latest Fur Coats.

These promise to be rather fioppy and
superabundant as to the shoulders and
sleeves, even while they remain narrow
in the skirt, rather impractical mixture.
They are cut kimono fashion on the
shoulders, which entails a great deal of
looseness about the upper part of the
garment. and when an enormous fold
over collar of bear or fox or sable Is
added and two cuffs, each like. a granny
muff, are placed at the end of the sleeves
the general effect is more of rich ampli-
tude than of smartness.
Such coat can only reasonably be
worn over evening dress or with very
large hat. A small one shows up too
much the lack of proportion between
shoulders and head. An attempt at car
rying out the draped skirt idea in long
fur coats is made now and then.

One is always safe in choosing black
for the formal gown. 1t is always in
good taste, always fashionable and al
most invariably becoming. The excellent
lines of the model shown above add much
in grace and slenderness to the figure,
the latter quality being also an acknowl-
edged attribute of black. When develop
ed in black satin with bertha and cuffs
of heavy ecru lace this gown is most
beautiful. The shaped bertha of lace
hangs in deep point in back and front
and is caught at the waist with small
black satin buttons. The skirt closes on
the side with row of large satin-cover-
ed buttons and Is, otherwise untrimmed.
