 Paris, November 9.--(Speeial) )-Gaorlel d'Annunzio, the brilliant author and welder of the improbable into the most probable and delightful stage tid-bits, Is back in Paris, turning over a new play in his mind which. If he finally thinks well of the plot, will require trip into the great golden westland of the. exceed ingly ample American continent. DAn- nunzio is never sure of plot--so he says until he clips it's wings. plucks the 5 feathers off and then stews it thoroughly in the oven of his brain" Of all the children of Parnassus who come from .he mount of the muses to that of Montmarse for inspiration none more suggests in his manner infection by the Pronethean fire than Gabriel, the Glorious"
 The tiue may be--he has not yet quite made up his mind about sit-'The shrine of the Soul" The action con ecrns life among tho fripperles Of Paris and under the clear sky and zest-giving zephyrs of California. A young exquis- ite is dying in more or less disreputa- ble caravanserie in the outskirts of Paris, surrounded by Apaches and equal

 Baron Clement de Radowitz, who al E leges that he Is a nephew of Herr von Radowitz, formerly German ambassador at Washington, was arrested here yester- day on charge of forgery. He Is stated to have run through large fortune in six years Latterly he has lived in great state at the Chateau du Petit Senart, near Fontainebleau. He is alleged to have forged a will whereby he was to come into another fortune, and on the strength of this will to have made large purchases on credit from an antiquary,
  in order to raise money. sUnder the title of "Bevues, Lapsus, ct Singularities Litteraires," M. Albert Cim is publishing amusing series of howlers < perpetrated, not by schoolboys, but by the great panjandrums of French htera- ture It appears that hardly one of the great men In the phalanx of holding Homers escapes. First comes Thiers himself, with "througout the day tor rents of rain poured down, and 2O,O00 Austrians bit the dust
 The weighty and erudite lawyer, M. Troplong-he is excellently named-pro- claims in one of his sombre tones that 'in the midst of many crumbling insti- tutions that of property stands erect on it's feet seated upon Justice. The pen of the famous critic, Fransisque Sarcey, had it's frequent lapses "On his helmet waves a missing plume' and lin the tones of Male. Ugalde one recognizes her mothers familiar hand for exam pie. M Toussenel journalist, naturalist and historian, has a sentence no doubt of profound ethnographical interest, which might perhaps have been phrased other wise: Ihe American and Russian na- tions, the two greatest powers in the world are precisely those in which the man makes the greatest efforts to re- semble the woman; the American by shaving himself daily, the Russian by puffng out his chest" It is a sentence that provokes reflection. Can it be that the rehabilitation of whiskers in Eng land Is a reaction against suffragist ex- excesses? Even the wayward fancy of the Parisian has not yet tired of the three-piece dress. It is true that she demands variety in tue expression of the idea. But so long az her couturier humors this whim so leng is she content to wear the skirt with it's own particular coat and it's own dainty blouse-bodies. And this autumn her taste fo, variety must indeed be unsuitable, if she be not entirely satisfied not only with he changes in design, but with the nov elites in material which mark the new season. Moreover. the most critical must surely be satisfied with the very decora- tive appearances characterizine many of these novelties no matter whether it be plush or ottoman. tweed or a ratine.

Of course, care is taken with their treatment so that they may Lave full dress effect; and this not rare iy achieved by a touch of the picturesque n the design of the coat. Sometimes this s fashioned as little coatee which just covers the waist and is rounded at the lack, and this is usually worn with skirt which is designed with tunic. The tunic is then cut on exactly the same line as the coat and it reaches midway oc- tween the edge of the latter and the hem Narrow bands of skunk or fox, or err mine border both coat and tunic The effect thus achieved suggests the pclisse. for the tunic has an air of being an essen- tial detail of the coat. When the latter is removed 1t is found that the corsage is more graceful arrangement of tulle and nonon. some little motif of the tweed or cloth maintaining harmony between bodice and skirt. N
