London, September 7.-(Special)- Masculine fashions for the autumn and early winter are tabulated in Mems Wear" as follows:
 Neokwear-Patterns will be well de- fined, with colors on the quiet side, ex- cepting in crepes, which will continue the "OrientaI" effect of the summer months. The open end scarf is the fla vorite, bow ties slightly declining un- til next spring. Knitted ties will be a strong feature in heather mixtures ana stripes.
 shirts-The autumnal colors will be grays, blues, blacks and whites. All pat terms are of the stripe variety, fig ured goods being dead
 Socks-Embroider patterns will show a revival at the expense of stripes. Side clocks and spot hose will be popu- lar, gray, navy, black and white being the favorite colors.
 Overcoats-Single breasted coats in lightweight cloths, without belts, but retaining gauntlet cuffs, will lead the fashion.
 Jackets-There will be no material change from the spring and summer jackets. The waist line will be slight ly defined, but not to excess.

How Oppenheim Writes

frOm the NutlOlal MaSdIlne.
 At this time there probably is no more popular writer of fiction than D. Phillips Cppenheim. His stories have the ring of interest. They divert the mind; they entertain and have an underlying subtle purpose that reveals the master hand
 E. Phillips Oppenheim, as many know, is an Enslishman. related to America by marriage, since his wife is a Massachu. sctts woman Truthfully speaking, he IS q cosmopolitan in the broadest sense, since he long ago lost the usual insular ity of the Englshman Perhaps his wifo is partly to be praised for this; perhaps his occasional trips to America and his frequent trips to Paris and the continent were important factors In his <acqulre- ment of world knowledge.
 At any rate, his books, dealing usually with international plots and intrigues. show a wide acquaintance with the va rions centers of European life, with dip- lomatic methods, ard with all grades and classes of people. Yet he says, in an au- tobfographical sketch, "so far as regards actual influence upon my work, I would be perfectly content to spend the rest of my days in London. Half a dozen thor oughfares and squares in London, a handful of restaurants, the people whom cne meets in single morning. are quite sufficient for the production of more and greater stories than l shall ever write"
 "The real centers of interest of the world" he says again, seem to me to be places where human beings are gathered together more closely because in such places the great struggle for existence, whatever shape 1t may take, must inev- itably develop the whole capacity of man and strip him bare to the locker on, even 70 nalledness. My place as writer, if may claim one, shall be at corner of the market place."
 His travels, then, are for pleasure rather than to get "atmosphere," for as soon as a story is in his publishers hands he takes a mental stretch and yawn, and then starts off on a short trip Invariably returning. however, with the germ of new plot snugly tucked away in his mind Most of them admits to picking up fin Paris, and not a few have been confided to him by chance ia ble acquaintance, or a friendly waiter Although more than 20 of his A years lave been largely devoted to novel writ ing, Mir Oppenheim declares that tho fun and excitement of the work has never waned. He approaches each story with the same unfagging zest.
 Given the Rlimmering of 0 plot his wonderful imagination starts with the precision of a machine and almost before le realizes it he has built up his story.

At nearly every saw mill q mechanical carrier dumps the trimmings from tho logs at a distance from tho mill, behind a sheet-iron screen and there burns a fire day and night in an effort to dispose of this wood.

Paris, September (Special)-Freneh mood than at present Aside from Moroc- co, where troubles are expected to con- tinue for years yet, until the whole scat tered population has been convinced of Frances enormous strength compared to their own, everything that they have set out to achieve has been successful be- yond all expectations. While Germany's star appears to be dim and setting that of France Is most undoubtedly in the ascent and brighter than it has ever been since the glorious era that went before the decline and fall of the second empire. The world at large does not know yet how magnfficently successful was M. Poincare in his mission 10 Russia, though everybody is aware that the Franco-Rus- sion alliance is closer and firmer than ever, To crown the diplomatic success of France 1t now appears that the fears entertained by many that the alliance with Russia would create a bad impress sion in Italy were groundless, for so far from arousing the wrath Of the Italians the alliance IS greeted with the greatest satisfaction by Victor Emanuefs sub jects, who, thanks to their long struggle with the evasive Turks, realize that Rus sia has very real grievance In not be- ing able to pass her Black Sea squadron through the Dardanelles and who see no reason to fear the presence of Russian warships in the Mediterranean, as Russia and Italy are in perfect accord in the Balkans. Like a good friend and ally the Czar has materially aided the plans of France by openly expressing the opin- ion that 1t is time the Turco-ltalian wa. were ended and inthnated a desire to support Italian interests during peace ne- gotiations. Small wonder that the diplo- matic outlook is considered most promis- ing in France and that the countNs diplomatic successes abroad are exerthg most beneficial influence on conditions at home.

London, September 7.-(Special)-
 Another "debt of honor" story that
 was told in Cafe Trocadero the other night at a dinner for Mir. Bruce Win
 ston, the actor. concerns that prince of debtors Richard Brinsley Sheridan. One day a creditor came into Sheri-
 dams room and found him seated before
 table strewn with gold and notes.
 Its no use looking at that, my good fellow" said Sheridan; that is all be- spoken for debts of honor" Very well,' replied the tradsman, tearing
 his security and throwing 1t on the fire. now mine is a debt of honor"
 "So 1t Is and must be paid at once" said Sheridan, and handed him the
 money.
 The shoeblack as q London institu-
 tion. Is vanishing; has, indeed. van
 ished from many localities where he
 once abounded Even fin the Westend
 you may find some difficulty in dis
 covering one, except at one or two cen tral points, such as the bottom of l Charing crossroad, Leicester square, | and Piccadlly circus. Nor does he seem to work with tho old enthusiasm. When Paul Verlainc came to London in 1872 one of the things that instant ly struck him was "the abomina ble multiplication of red shoe blacks" One would have supposed that the contrast of the black and red would please this lover of color and contrasts. And now, if your shoes are muddied you may
 walk miles without finding a shoeblack in London.
 Eggs are most useful articles. Hero
 are some German scientists proclaim ing that an egg shell breeds centen- arians. Tn France they have discovered
 another virtue in them. According to a
 paper read by Dr. Amat before the "Societe Therapeutique" the membrane covering of a new-laid egg forms an
 excellent fertilizer for human skin.
 When a patient comes to him with a
 bad wound he washes It. covers 1t with tiny layers of egg mebrane and band apee 1t up. In four or five days the wound is healed and a fresh patch Of skin has grown.
 Another Frenchman--a chemist doses his chickens with quinlne and oth-
 CT drugs in frequent demand and sells
 their eggs at prices ranging from five francs a dozen. These are sold to peo-
 pie who object to taking their medicine meat and are assured by tho enter prising chemist that the doctored eggs will do them all the good they TO- Pquire.
