err is in mourning. Appreciation of
this fact has brought abo1t the manu-
facture of this Grape in gray and law
ender as we'll as in black and VIII te.
Already designers of authority in the
fashion world are showing examples
of millinery, and other apparel, in
which Grape in these colors is effec-
lively used. Gradually we shall see
a new order of things as result. The
somberness of all-black, especially
when used by an entire family, may
be done away with.
French crepes are quite different in
manufacture; having, as rule, a less
pronounced rib or ridge than the
English fabric, and less luster. AL
though the French achieve exquisite
white they are not as successful as
English manufacturers in the dying
of black in this particular fabric.
One of the smart new models for
fall is pictured here made of black
English Grape on a medium sized
fra1me. The frcing of white is espe-
cially admirable on this particular
shape, as it defines the graceful curve
of the left brim. White next the face
is becoming to everyone, and the
combination of black and white Grape,

For the Stout Girl.

There is little enough in present-day
styles to bring happiness to the stout
woman. Her hips are a constant
source of worry, in spite of the fact
that her waist is just in style. And
when she surveys the filmy chiffon
and lace underbodies and the cors cts
that end at the waist she is filled with
dismay.
But the brassieres of heavy all-over
embroidery, reinforced with removable
bones under the arms and in front
and back, with stout tapes to hold
them down at the waist, are real
boon, to the plump woman. They are
really dainty and attractive at the
same time they are substantial and
eerviceable.

Gas and Electricity Doing Away With
Need for This Kind of
Labor.

London.-Apropos of the financial
difficulties of a chimney sweep who
appeared at country court, Mr.. Jen-
kins, a member of the firm which
sweeps the kings chimneys, spoke of
this vanishing industry. He said:
1T is generally admitted that the
trade of the chimney sweep is doomed,
like that of the hanson cab driver.
Gas and electricity are doing away
with the need for sweeps. Most of
the new large buildings are supplied
with central heating apparatus from
hot-water boilers. In private houses,
old and new, gas fires are taking the
place of coal fires, especially in bed
rooms and rooms which are not used
continuously. In some hotels the
rooms have no fireplaces."
Another noticeable thing is the ef-
feet of education. Smart boys who
have received an education" want a
cleaner trade. Formerly a father
would put his boy to work at twelve
or thirteen, but now the boys will not
do it, and it is hard to get outsiders.
Ny firm his swept the chimneys at
Buckingham palace for 81 years, and
we have one man who has been %
years with us. Fortunately the king
and queen still cling to coal fires in
all their personal apartments, though,

HERE are four pieces of neckwear,
i L in the prevailing styles, which are
handsome enough to be valued posses
sions in any wOman's stock of dress
accessories. Yet the materials of
which they are made cost next to
nothing. Fifty cents or less is about
the amount which will buy thread and
braid for the handmade pieces. 1t
will certainly buy enough of the all
over shadow lace to make the at
tractive collar and jabot, and cover
the expense of the tiny buttons of
h'ck satin used as. a finishing touch
on the pretty collar at the right of the
picture.
Hand work, tastefully and we'll
done, means elegance in dress aces
series. The crocheted collar is made
of three separate pieces joined to-
gether. They are an Irish lace pat
tern and not at all difficult to make.
There is an insertion an inch and
half or a little less in width and from
IL to Is inches long, depending upon
the size of the neck to be fitted. Two
wider strips OF the crochet are made,
each half as long as the insertion less
one or one and fourth inches. These
pieces are finished with a scallop
about the outside edges.
When all the pieces have been crc-
rSeted they are sewed together as
own in the picture. Baby velvet
-bbon in sapphire blue, or any pre-
ferred color is run through the edges
of the insertion. This is necessary to
keep the collar from stretching at the

ribbon in the small color is tackled in

MAG RUNS A FERRY
Steered Raft Across Hudson for
Twenty Years.
Smokes Corncob Pipe, but Was a
Musician and Still Loves the
Books She Retains--Is the
Daughter of Preacher.

New York.-Times have charged
since Charon had the monopoly OF
ferrying. One of tho pioneers is
ferry woman Of long experience and
superior ability; she has steered her
raft from shore to shore of the Hud-
son river for twenty years or more.
The traveller who comes to the
rivers edge near Mechanicsville, wish
ing 70 be ferried over to the farms
and villages beyond, is puzzled for a
way to summon the raft at anchor on
the other side. It is SO quiet and
beautiful a place in the MONDAY still
ness that transportation seems mat
ter foreign to the business of the day,
and for a moment the stranger looks
about him. He sees only green fields
of farm lands, misty willows by the
water, red and blue flowers in warm,
hectic bunches-and a horn hanging
on a nail on an old elm by the dock.
The raft comes slowly zigzagging
across, held to it's course by a cable,
and Mag appears. shading her eyes
with a knotty, brown hand for good
look at the newly arrived. She is
woman between seventy and eighty,
wearing a mans hat, mems boots, and
a cotton dress. Her dark face is
wrinkled shrewd and humorous.
Wal who be We, where be We from,
and where be we going?" is her greet
ing, as she docks. AS they move
across the river, Mag puts him
through the third degree, and gossips
lavishly about his destination and all
the families for miles around, never
falling to put blame or praise where
it belongs.
Come down to my cabin tonight
and We'll talk some more" she calls
after him as he starts UP the hill; IF
you're from Boston l guess We know
some O. the same things. and I'll be
glad to see ye."
And ne who is from Boston, being
interested in his fellow townspeople,
as we'll as his fellowman, goes walking
far down the river bank in the dusk
to the little cabin Mag is ON the
doorstep, smoking her odorous corn
cob pipe. But their conversation is
not news to him, for he has heard the
history of the woman through the day.
Mag, once Margaret, was the daugh'
ter of q, Boston clergyman. She was
a musician, and, for a time, was or
ganist of her fathers church. The
man looked at Mag as she sat. smok-
ing, on her doorstep, and thought of
the refined and charming young wom-
an of whom he had been told Mar
garet had married farmer, and had
come to live in New York state. The
farmer was not a successful one; he
was lazy. His wife's life was hard.

umph, having completed it in 20 min

The dress is of pink chiffon, designed

it's approval, and an astonishing desire
to know what was happening in that
world--somewhat mixed and un-
pruned, but knowledge for all that. She
was greedy for news. Her love for
books and music was a deep and for
hidden subject. After the guest had
gone, Mag caught her fish for break
fast, in the river.
In theimorning she was on hand to
ferry him over.
Good by, Mr.. Boston, she said.
I'm going to shake hands with We.
So you're from Boston and you're go
ing back! Wal, I'm going to stay right
here. I'm independent, and I'm about
as hap-J as any one is in this world"

released the raft and began another
