sash Pocket Return..

Some new skirts of serge or frieze are
inlet with panels Of the plaid which al
ways announces the coming Of autumn.
A dark green and blue mixture with lust
line OF white is quite the most attrac-
tive tartan, and navy blue skirt inlet
with V-shaped piece Of this in front is
smart, the v being reversed and running
downward instead OF upward, as is the
usual way with panels. silk showing q
similar tartan effect, and used In the
form Of sash, is very chic with another
navy blue suit
revival of an odd idea is the sash
pocket. though it appears in a new guise.
In the latest version you have two
frtnged ends falling one directly over the
other. The upper end Is the shorter. vet
hides the pocket on the under one formed
by piece of the ribbon stitched on to
II. In the original model each end of
ribbon was frankly turned up on the right
side to form pocket about three and
a half inches in depth, each pocket hay-
ing the lower edge bordered with fringe.
In either case the ribbon is folded over
at the tcp and stitched on to a big gilt
safety pin by means of which the sash
Is secured to the belt.
A sash pocket contrived of tartan rib
bon would be very attractive, especially
If the maker could make a fringe for II
including all the colors seen in, the plaid,
a touch of which should appear else
where on the gown in the form OF collar
and cuffs. revers or pipings.

YOUTHFUL FASHIONS.

The styles Of the coming winter are
peculiarly suited to the young girl Only
the slender figure Of youth can wear the
full-draped skirts, the wide belts. the
sashes strung around the hips that are
now the favorites Of fashion. Only q
youthful face looks well in the piquant
little hats that are pulled down over one
eye and are turned up saucily In the
back. Chiffons. tulle. and fiimy laces,
which are promised an immense vogue
this year, are all the adornment Of youth,
and the girl who cannot find something
suitable, pretty and smart to wear will,
indeed. be a stupid person.
simple but lovely little evening
gown is OF pale pink chiffon, with a draped
skirt and bodice. Another seen recently
was OF white taffeta, with silver and
sparkling diamante embroidery.
The dress had a decoIlete outlined at
the back with ruching Of white tulle.
and the sleeves were finished with a net
work Of crystals and fine silver beads.
A fringe of silver and crystal beads fell
from the waist in front. the long strands
OF which were parted and looped to the
side Of the skirt under motifs of crystal
and pearl embroidery.
The skirt was tight at the hem and n
was slit up at the back over fine white
net A ruffie OF white tulle on the
shoulders gave an Elizabeth effect, which
was very pretty.

GIFT BOX.

A gift intended for his majesty the
baby was in such a dainty box that one
could not help but linger over II in
pleasedoRntictpation OF its contents The
box was covered with a creamy paper,
over which was scattered pictures of
cunning little babies in every conceIy-
able form
The box had first been cavered with a
cream paper, then pictures OF babies
were cut from magazines and pasted
over the box. These were then tinted
with water colors, and a few pen strokes
were added to the background in the
form. OF dashes or clouds In this vay
the pictures became part of the back
ground and looked as though they had
been drawn directly on the box ana not
pasted. 1t was really a most artistic
looking boS-just the receptacle for a
baby's gift
This idea could readily be applied to
other boxes and a quaint one to hold a
child's hair ribbons could have a deco
ration OF cut-out pictures of Dutch boys
and girls across the top and around the
sides.
1t also offers a suggestion for gift
boxes OF all sorts, which could with ap-
propriate pictures be made suitable for
all occasions and seasons.

BLACK VELVET BRACELETS.

It has now become fashionable in Paris
to wear a broad bracelet of black velvet
on the left arm. 1t fits the wrist snugly
and is held in place by a large monogram
of small diamonds bedded in platinum
Everywhere one sees this one orna-
ment worn on the arm with an evening
costume. II Is far more conspicuous
than a jeweled bracelet and serves to
cover the ugliest part Of a woman's arm,
which is the bone at the wrist
BY the way, black ornaments are be-
coming more fashionable each day. The
huge black velvet chrysanthemum for
evening gowns. the black oilcloth rose
for afternoon gowns and morning hats,
the black velvet bracelet at dinners and
theater, and now Callot is using large
pieces of black onyx jewelry set with
seed pearls or brilliants to fasten the
front OF q tulle bodice.
One can buy these ornaments in Paris
and attach them to the gown as one
would a rose. The effect Is immensely
good when the gown is Of white tulle
or white satin. with q drapery OF silver
lace. Too much black must not be used.

HARBoR FRONT INSPECTED.

The District Commissioners Inspected
the harbor front yesterday afternoon as
guests Of former Commissioner John A.
Johnston. on his yacht Trident Gen.
Johnston especially was interested In the
Improvement OF the water front during
the latter days Of his administration. 1t
Is understood that the present board has
asked for $1.ooe for the preparation of
plans for such improvement.
Engineer officials designate the present
conditions of the water front as a dis
grace to the National Capital" The
wharves are declared unsightly. unsani-
tary. and unsafe in point OF resistance to
fire.
Members OF the wharf committee have
brought to the attention OF the Commis-
sioners that 1t will be necessary to re-
build all the wharf structures In the near
future, and that this should be done ac-
eording to some general plan. ID. +.
Garges, chief clerk of the Engineer De-
partment: d. L. McCcmb, engineer Of
bridges. and Russell Dean, harbor mas
ter, compose the committee.

Wine Stains.

Wine stains may be removed by wash
ing the material with methylated spirit
and finally freshening 1t with chloro-
form to restore the color. Stains of wine
vinegar or of wine OF a sour nature
may be removed by neutralizing the
spots with ammonia or any other alkali.
Spots of ink are always more or less
difficult to remove, and much depends
upon the kind OF ink, the color. and
even the nature of the material. On
white cotton, linen or wooien goods an
application of warm oxalic acid water
one tablespoonful to a teacupful OF
water-will frequently accomplish the de-
sired results. Some stains OF this nature
are, on account Of various conditions,
difficult to remove.

Fifty years ago today Gen. Lees army,
having lost 1000 men captured and its
defensive works at the railroad bridge
on Rappahannock the day before, fell
hack behind the Rapidan River, which 1t
was never to cross again.
Lee had made his last advance, when
in October he marched rapidly toward
Washington, reaching Bristoe Station.
four miles from Manassas Meade had
outmarched him and checked him in a
fight at Bristoe, and Lee had fallen
back behind strong works on the Rap
pahannock.
Here, on November z, Meade had made

Fifty years ago this morning Lees
army was in battle line between the
river and Culpeper, expecting attack.
Fortunately for Lee, a dense fog hung
over the valley of the Rappahannock,
preventing Gen. John Sedgwick, who
commanded the right wing of the Fed
eral army, which had so roughly used
the Confederates the day before, from
seeing that Lee had withdrawn from his
front
To this fog only was due the deliver

Lees sDeep nfelancholy.'

Not being able to learn whether Lee
still held his line on the south side OF
the river, Gen. Meade determined 10
bring up the three corps Of his left
wing, which had crossed the river AT
Kelieys Ford while the fighting was go
ing on at the Rappahannock Railroad
crossing. to force Lee out OF his posi-
tion.
The day was spent In the moving OF
these troops. when they arrived oppo-
site the scene of the fight Of the day be-
fore they found only the debris OF aoan-
doned camps. Lees army was already
near Culpeper and It's wagon trains were
crossing the Rapidan, over which the
troops were soon to pass In retreat.
Meade was now in the position OF the
victorious leader of jubilant troops,
while "Gen. Lee retired before hin,
writes ]. z. Cooke, Lees biographer,
with a heavy heart and deep mel
anchoiy, which, in spite Of his great
control over himself, was visible In MS
countenance."
Just thirty days had passed since he
had put his troops in motion In this same
county of Culpeper to march toward
Washington, in the hope Of turning the
Federal flank and forcing q battle on
ground of his own choosing.
In that time he had worn his army
down In strength, had gained nothing,
and, when he believed the Federals
would make no further movement. he
had lost, in q few minutes, 1000 men,
seven regimental standards and four
guns.
