SUITS OF TAFFETA. Among the daintiest of garments for winter wear are those fashioned of taffeta silk. They are worn with and without coats to match and noth- ing more becoming is in vogue for fall wear. Frills and fluffs are being used on many of them and the auto- veil—the inevitable—is the main feature of the autumn girl. Fringed taffeta made of the material of the gown is used for the ruffles on the skirt and very often the waist is covered with them to form the yoke part. The fancy girl, the elaborate- ly yet simply dressed maiden, is the one for the coming season and she will be prolonged into the spring and summer of the coming -ear. The mannish woman has had her vogue and fashionable women hail with de- light the new awakening of Dame Fashion. Nothing pertaining to the fashions of past years is being used at pres- ent, and everything is quite new and fresh. The heavier gowns and suits are made of velvets and shaggy fab- rics and are extremely pretty in their way. The coats with the vests are all the rage and white seems to be the popular color for them. They are extremely fancy in effect and but- tons galore are used as the sole trim- ming. Much hand embroidery ap- pears on the latest models from Paris and this shows that it is not cen- fined alone to waists and undergar- ments. Handsome brown suits with beautiful designs done with orange colored silks ‘are quite the thing, and the many shirrs and puffs displayed could not help but make a stunning creation. The shoulder capes of lace are a new idea for cool evenings in October and they are daintily decorated with chiffon streamers and bows. The opera coats and carriage wraps are also exceedingly handsome and noth- ing is left undone that might add to the beauty of any garment. The leather belt plays an important part with the coats and they are worn five and six inches wide. LINGERIE GUIMPE. All the handsome evening dresses come fitted with guimpes that they may be worn to restaurant dinners and the theater. While all guimpes are in the lingerie class this one seems strikingly so be- cause of the ribbon run into the lace. The guimpe is of sheer white lace and is plain over the neck and shoulders. The sleeves are very full and half way between the elbow and wrist they are drawn in with inch-wide black ribbon and tied in a good sized bow, exactly such as are employed on the various pieces of dainty underwear and in quite the same way. Below this the lace falls in a deep frill. This particular guimpe has been designed for wear with a magnificent dress of black silk net. richly trimmed with messaline quillings and splendid black jets. The Jets, being hollow, are nothing so heavy as they look. Very striking is the con- trast between this all black dress and the white guimpe. BARRED BROADCLOTH. Barred broadcloth has a velvet ridge introduced in single bars and in cross bars. This comes only in street col- crs, the familiar white tones. gt | HE girl who considers herself ir- | resistible—is there anybody who has never seen her? Impossible. She is one of the dramatic per- sonae in the drama which every | community is playing on the well-worn | beards of Time. It is good fun to watch her. Like Bottom in “Midsummer Night's Dream,” she thinks herself the star performer in the cast. And she acts her veil before the mirror, whether she is measuring her charms in a shop- window as, passing by, she sees them there reflected, or whether she takes {a flower from off her gown to put if {in a young man’s buttonhole, says | Dorothy Fenimore in the Chicago | Journal. When she walks down the street she |is deeply conscious of the men who | stare at her. Her haughtiness is meant | to blight any mere man who dares to lift his eyes above the spot of court | piaster fixed upon her lifted chin, or | else her soft glance seeks to heal in | the self-same moment that it wounds. | When she talks her conversation re- | minds her hearers of a music box of a | single tune. She plays the same air | over and over—what Charlie said last | night, the attentions that she has re- | ceived from Tom and Dick and Harry; | who called on her last week, and who will take her to the theater to-morrow. She is always speaking of love as of |an old acquaintance. And yet, tis | dcubtful if she would know him ‘should she see him. If he were to | stand right beside her, clad in his best | scarf, and his golden bow and arrows, | she would probably look right over | his head, unless somebody called her | attention to him. Imagine her, then, absent-mindedly chucking him under his ancient but saucy chin, with a OKLAHOMA HONEYMOONS “The honeymoon, as the term usually | implies,” says the Enterprise of Mu- | tual, Okla., “is about as scarce in this | section as smowballs in August. We | do not mean to convey that our people never get married, for weddings are | getting of such common occurrence that the boys forget to serenade the | contracting parties any longer. “When one of our young couples get | married they do not spend a month | honeymooning, like it is the custom in | the East, but they settle down to the routine of life with the one harmoni- ous purpose of building up a comfort- able and happy home. Instead of ‘spooning’ around over the country. at- tracting the attention of everybody, | looking sickeningly lovable, and calling each other all kinds of sweet little ‘chestnuts,’ the newly married may be found at work the next day following the nuptials. s it A e put out a big washing, while the other | half will be found plowing corn and SCOTCH PLAIDS. 1 v ly."” Scotch plald yarns furnish desirable | C2TTY'n8 Water simultaneously material for midseason wear.

This could be avoided by a very simple method, a comparison of each other's qualities, which can be determined by each one's nativity, not from an astrological standpoint, but from a biological. Thus, one possessing constructive scientific tenden- ":s will not be harmonious with one who is inclined toward purely do- mestic proclivities; agein, one disposed to associate freely with the public and delight in their company will not agree with one who loves a quiet, retired life in the interior of home; and, lastly, one whose habits are chaste will not tolerate one who is given to excesses in that direction. The way society travels toward self-destruction fore- shadows a time when this question of compatibility of man and woman will be the first necessity and the growing generation be trained to know exactly what quality to seek in the opposite sex, thus avoiding all inharmony, such as is exhibited in the marital relation of the modern social organism.

From the vegetable world a very con- siderable portion of the armamentar- ium of the physician is derived. True, he relies on the mineral world for cur- ative agents, and also lays toll on the animal kingdom for -certain things, ranging from leeches and spermaceti to wax and cod-liver oil. But the plant ‘world affords him the bulk of his drugs and many of the most subtle principles used in the treatment of disease are fabricated in the laboratory presided over by Dame Nature herself.

Mrs. Emma Wynn was walking along Edgemont avenue, Chester, Pa., a few evenings ago, when a football kicked by a youth fell on her hat. driving a hatpin through her scalp the length an inch. She fell to the sidewalk un- conscious, and was taken to the hospi- tal, where the flow of blood from a severed blood vessel was checked. TOOTHSOME DESSERTS.

James Robert Madison Mullany was a rear admiral of the United States navy which he entered January 7, 1832. FHe served during the Civil war, made an excellent record, was created rear ad- miral June 5, 1874. From 1376 to 1879 he was governor of the Naval Asylum, Philadelphia. He was retired after forty-seven years of active service. He died at Bryn Mawr, Penn., September 17, 1887. POSTOFFICE RULES—C. J M, City. The postoffice officers of the United States are governed by certain rules of the Postoffice Department and they are forced to follow those rules. If you have any complaint as to the transmission of mail, do not kick against the local official, but reg- ister your kick with the Postmaster General at Washington, D. C., and if you are right the wrong will be reme- died, if you are not, you will be ad- vised. DOOMSDAY BOOK—A. G., San Co- lombano, Chiavari, Italy. What is known as the “Domesday Book™ or “Doomsday Book” is a book of the gen- eral survey of England, commenced in the reign of William I, 1080 (some say 1085), and completed in 1086. It was intended to be a register to determine the right in the tenure of estates, and from it the question whether lands be ancient demense or not is sometimes still a question. The book, formerly kept in the chapter house of West- minster, was transferred to the public records office. It consists of two vol- umes, a greater and a less, wherein all the counties of England, except Northumberiand, Durham, Westmore- land and Cumberland, are surveyed. This domesday book was the textbook of King William. The taxes were levied according to this survey till 12 Henry VIII, 1522, when a more ac- curate survey was taken, called by the people the “New Doomsday Book.” ——— s Special information supplied daily te business houses and public men the Bureau (Allen’s), Press Clipping - 8), 2” qa- —_—— Townsend's California Glace fruits in artistic fire-etched boxes. 715 Market st. muonln:w lmvfllhldvluo‘: nn':un,_t.n.. -
