tic lines, yet equally picturesque in its own way Is a long waisted frock of gray faille matinee with embroidery Of silver thread and orange silk The tall, close-f fitting collar has silver bralding on orange taffeta The bod ice of this frock is partly taffeta and partly chiffon and the waistline Is lower at the back than in front-a novel effect worthy of your special note. There are undersleeves of chif- ion beneath loose bell sleeves of the taffeta, trimmed with tiny silk buttons to match the frock. Bronze kid boots are worn with this costume and by the bye, bronze boots are very fashionable just now-and most prac- tical also since the bronze boot may be worn with a frock of any color ex- cept black. If one cannot afford a number of pairs of glazed kid boots to match different costumes 1t Is good economy to buy bronze ones, and they should be in the buttoned style with high French heels and dainty pointed toes

the favorite hues for first fall frocks, and black will be very smart-provid- ed 1t Is smartly made. An attractive all-black frock of satin and velvet with an airy fiuttering of black tulle about the bodice and touches of fur to give the fall suggestion, Is pictured. Here are four materials (not to men, tion the jet bead trimming on the bodice!) all combined in one frock
 without the slightest suggestion of overlooking. The skirt is of black velvet, with the inevitable hem of contrasting material-in this case black satin; and over this velvet skirt is draped the satin overskirt. Four black fox brushes hang from this overskirt at folds of the drapery. The bodice is of black velvet applied to a deep yoke of black chiffon and fits very trimly, attesting the close feath- erboned girdle beneath the girdle of black satin. The full sleeves and deep cape collar are of black tulle--or rath- CT a fine black silk net, passemen- terie trimming of jet beads fattening this airiness around the shoulders:

tea there are dainty little silver plates with tiny two-pronged forks to pick up the bit of lemon. And by the way. lemon should not be sliced for serv- ing with tea. Sliced lemon Is for garnishing purposes and it is impos- sible to squeeze a thin slice of lemon without messing the fingertips un- pleasantly.

MT is in the daintiness and com
 pleteness of her breakfast and
 luncheon service that the accom-
 plished housekeeper eXcels. In most American households of the bet ter class there is a handsome dinner set of more or less expensive china; there are large napkins beautifully initialed; there are various silver and glass bonbon and almond dishes; there are all the necessary sizes of glassware, from cocktail to cordial. These things every good housewife who brides herself on her manner of entertaining considers very neces- sary. They are not used every day by any means. perhaps not one day in week even; but there they are, if hospitality demands. With very helter skelter, heterogeneous sort of breakfast and lunch service the fam fly may get along, meanwhile. All the extra pennies are put into the impressive things that go on the din- ner table-when there Is company.
 But the woman who loves dainti- ness for its own sake studies how to make her breakfast table and her luncheon table as complete and as distinctive as her purse can afford. and when new. and interesting articles of table service appear on the market she Is instantly aware.
 No longer is the same tablecloth used for breakfast, luncheon and din- ner, with change of cloth and nap kins at mid-week. That custom Is obsolete and has gone with other mid Victorian fashions. There are special cloths now for breakfast and lunch con, the large white tablecloth over a silence-cloth being reserved for din- ner. Breakfast cloths are never ornate and they are smaller than the large. handsome cloth of heavy damask for dinner use. The break fast cloth may be of damask or of plain white Irish linen with hem- stitched hem. Pure white Is always most attractive in tablecloth and nap

In Paris now. The Jenny frock Is very dark blue in tone and the mohair is combined with taffeta of the same shade. the upper portion of the skirt being of the taffeta, with lower DOT tion of mohair attached to it in car fridge pleated effect. This frock has trimming of white pontine. the new reversible waxed fabric with satin, silk or velvet as a backing. In the Jenny frock the collar and cuffs are of white pontine with a dark blue silk backing, the white waxed surface being turned outside. From the col lar downward, a tiny edge of the white pontine follows the surpliced line of the bodice fronts and this tiny line of white brightens the dark frock sur- prisingly
 An Alpaca Frock From Bernard.
 Following the vogue for alpaca and mohair between season costumes, Ber- nard has brought out a model of stunning simplicity. The overskirt, which falls to within an inch or two of the skirt hem, is pleated in small boxpleats, we'll pressed all the way down and is attached by a stitched hem to straight. young-girlish bodice that makes no pretense of fitting in at the waistline or revealing the curves of waist and bust. Over the bodice falls cape collar of the ma terial that Is strapped together across the front, at the throat, by a nar- row, buttoned strap of the alpaca This frock Is black, with buttons of gunmetal and smoked pearl. Above the cuffs on the long sleeves are nar- row bands of steel colored metal rib bon and rows of the fancy buttons to the elbow.
 Indeed, one can scarcely have too many buttons on the new frock; but tons are as fashionable on frocks as they are on blouses.. Everything is buttoned these days, from the trim ming on ones hat down to one's cor rect buttoned boots. Fringe is also a new autumn trimming-new that Is for the moment while fashion whisks 1t temporarily on top. One couturier has a frock with wide bell sleeves trimmed with three-inch silk fringe; no other fringe appears anywhere on the costume.
 The Always-Lovely Lines Of Callot.
 Callot's lovely lines are unmistak- able. Somehow all women in frocks from this house look graceful. slender and willowy. This is partly due to the rich, soft-draping materials em- ployed and partly to the favorite Cal lot trick of outlining the shoulder and arm, with a loose-ftting sash and clinging lines at hip lower in the costume. The frock illustrated today is of nasturtium yellow chiffon and sa n-striped taffeta in the same tone and lighter shade of yellow. Amber beads outline a deep yoke on the bodice and the buttons at the belt are of amber and rhinestones. The trim ming of dark fur accentuates the yell low tone of the frock. Though the lines seem so loose and graceful. there Is carefully fitted foundation frock of yellow taffeta underneath, the bod ice as trimly featherboned as any tight fitting little basque of the mo- ment.

kins at breakfast time, and many housekeepers will not use doilies or even a square on the breakfast table, preferring the fresh, all-covering tablecloth as background for the silver coffee service and dainty break fast china.
 At the luncheon table color may be introduced ad libatum. likewise embroidery, hemstitching and even lace in the doilies or lunch-cloth that only partly covers the polished table, top.
 The blue willow ware, SO long a favorite for breakfast use, has gone out of fashion now and is preferred for bungalows and country cottages. The blue ware is provided for kitchen service in the town house. Breakfast china in old English patterns Is charming and there are various new art patterns equally attractive. White and gold china. the most formal sort, is used for dinner and for luncheons of the more formal kind. Blue can ton ware, however. is always dis tinctive and many housekeepers still prefer this china for the breakfast table. With this dull blue china nothing is prettier for a centerpiece than a delft blue flower bowl, low and broad and filled with water. a glass block holding a few fresh flow CTS.

Of course there are many small conveniences of silver and also of white metal egg cups, toast racks. muffin plates and the like. Ono plate, for serving soft-boiled eggs, is particularly graceful in its leaf shape with stem-like handle. In the center of this picture Is new type of tea strainer.

CARE To
PREVENT FIRES
Greater Vigilance Needed in Looking
After Trash and Waste Of
All Kinds.

Bryan needs to move up a notch on
greater care in fire prevention. There
is room for a decided Improvement in
this respect.
On a windy day Il is no unusual
thing to see large quantities OF waste
paper and light paper boxes blowing
about the city. Garbage cans are pro-
yided ami should be used for the pur.
pose OF holding all trash. It is easy
enough for one wagon to take care OF
all the trash In the city IL It is prop
erly placed in the cans. just at the
present time some extra precaution
should be used along the lines men.
toned above on accoun OF the danger
OF fire. Towns that perhaps exercised
stricter precautions than Bryan have
been entirely destroyed by the fire
demon this week, and IL behooyes
every citizen in Bryan to exert every
possible effort TO avoid a conflaera.
ton like some OF our Texas cities
have experienced. so let us all clean
up good. be careful OF waste paper
and trash OF every kind.
