Gown for Early Fall.
Gown of blue satln-flnlshcd vicuna.
The skirl is plaited over the hips, and
has a little plain yoke bordered with a
band of the material. It is trimmed at
the bottom with a wide band of laco,
forming scallops at the lop, and bor-
dered and trimmed with bands of the
plain cloth.
The blouse lias a little corselet cor-
responding with the hip-yoke, (he tvo
separated by a girdle of dark blue lib-
erty. The large cape collar is trimmed
with (he laco and cloth bands like the
skirt, and is fastened a little on one
side with a motif of taffeta. The plas-
tron and the full sleeves are of lace,

evening dress.
Accordion plaited skirts and waists
are one of (ho loveliest fashions of
the hour.
Jeweled reticules of golden links are
carried at garden parties, theater and
all fashionable gatherings.
The newest touch is to turn the
deep shoulder collar up on each side
upon the shoulder as though to leave
the arms free.
Pretty Petticoats.
As to the shape of the popular petti- •
coat, it is little changed, though the
widening of the outside skirt must nat- j
urally soon effect an increase in (he j

For the Hat Season.
When one's millinery shows tht ex-
ercise of taste and thought it doefl a
great deal toward beautifying a wom-
an's face, and when it becomes merely
a matter of display it loses its charm.
The hat should be in harmony with
the costume of the individual, or
make artistic contrasts. The colors
should also suit the complexion, and
Work Hard for Bare Living Under
Turkish Taskmasters.
A writer in an English magazine
gives the following picture of the lifo
led by Macedonian peasants: "I vis-
ited one village (Treska), only two
hours' ride from TJskub, which was a
populous Christian community fifty
years ago, where the peasants owned
their own land. About the time when
we were putting our money on the
wrong horse' in the Crimea some en-
terprising Turks swooped down on the
place, massacred one-half of the popu-
lation, settled in their cottages and
annexed the lands of the survivors. The
men of the present generation hew
wood and draw water for i 3 son of
the brigand of the '50s, who is now a
notable magnate. He allows them one-
its shape oe appropriate to the face.
There are very few women who look | proceeds of their labor on
well in every style and color. A be- tho Ian(ls that were their fathers'.
coming hat. is the most beautiful orna-
ment a woman wears.
White Cloth Mantle.
The peasants are serfs without leis-
ure, security or rights. There are,
roughly, about eighty days in the year
when no good Bulgarian will do much
in his fields—Sundays and the greater
saints' days. The bey of Treska has
hit on the ingenious plan of forcing his
peasants to work for him in his pri-
vate fields on every one of these
eighty days. For this work he pays
no wages in money or kind and no
share of the produce is alloted to the
laborer."

RIDDLE OF THE FAR NORTH
One Good Reason Why It Should Bo

Dr. Narisen once gave a good reason
i why the north pole should be discov-
I ered. "Because," he said, when it ,

j no one else will try to get there."
I Since the days of Pythias, the ancient '
i Greek mariner, who declared that he |
discovered, if not the north pole, at
least the end of the world, and at any
rate sailed so far north that he was j
| terror-struck to find that the sun re-j
fused to set, the riddle of the far north j

.iiite or navy blue, is the leading fan-) mysterious whisperings as to the pres-
ence in Salonica of a Bulgarian lady
belonging to the extreme anarchist
section of tho revolutionary party.
Her presence not only caused great
anxiety to the Turkish authorities, but
also excited alarm among the more
moderate of her countrymen, who
dreaded the probable consequences
for themselves of any violent action
she might commit. Accordingly it
was with a sigh of relief that Saloni-
ca heard the other day that this Bul-
garian Joan of Arc, as she has already
been dubbed, was in the hands of the
police. She is a school teacher, not
much over 29 years of age. Nothing
of a sufficiently incriminating charac-
ter to justify her detention in prison
was elicited at her examination by a
magistrate, and she has simply been
sent back to her native village of
Kilkisli, where for some time she will
remain under police observation.

unworthily. One day he discovered a
small squirrel perched on the limb of
a tree, and without stopping to realize
the consequences of his act he let fly
his stone, it went straight to the
mark, and the poor little creature re-
ceived his deathblow. With an heroic
effort he twitched himself into a posi-
tion right over his thoughtless mur-
derer, and letting go his dying grasp
upon the limb, fell upon the hand that
had taken his life. Burying his teeth
in the palm he bit clean through to the
back and then dropped lifeless io the
ground.
Poor little outraged spirit. He had
never given one mon" ::t of pain to any
living mortal, and y< t his life was cru-
elly taken from him without rhyme or
reason. Is if strange that he showed
by the only means in his power his
sense of wronged innocence?
An Intelligent Cot.
Prof. It. L. Garner (ells an interest-
ing cat story; A certain cat was shut
up in a room where there was a speak-
ing-tube which he had frequently seen
used in calling people.
Desiring to £.et out (li ^b room and
having r.o means of opening the door,
he climbed upon a chair near the tube,
erected him- If upon hind leg-
steadied himself by placing his paws
upon the bad: of the chair. plac« d his
mouth to the tube and began whining
and mewing into it.
In (his attitude he was found by his
young mistress, who came into the
room at the moment that, he was rv
ing to call someoin to his aid.

Tiny Pocket Handkerchiefs.
A society woman has recently set
the fashion of carrying the tiniest of
pocket handkerchiefs, though why
th< y should still be called pocket is
curious, as no such place knows them.
This little six-inch square, which
served as a handkerchief, is. for day
use. of finest linen, finished with a (iny
.mt very full ruffle of narrowest Val-
enciennes lace, the whole thing being
easily tucked into the palm of the
glove. For evening it is no bigger,
but it is of point lace and it has not
a scrap of linen about it, says Vogue.
You can fancy the coquettish effect of
this morsel of rich lace when twisted
between nervous fingers or daubed at
mouth ami nose. For evening use at
garden parties, restaurants, theaters,
the jeweled reticule of golden links
is universal, a beautiful object and
most commodious, being quite large
enough to hold more of the necessary
trinkets than anybody's grandmother
ever dreamed of putting in her little
brocaded bag.

Pare and slice six ripe peaet.es; add
to them one pint of swe t n.ilk one-
half cupful of bread crumbs, two-

yolks and whites beaten separately, a
pinch of salt, and one half teuspoonfui
each of cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir
all together, then turn into a buttered
pudding dish and bake till set. Serve
hot with hard sauce or cold with
sweetened cream.

FALL GOWNS FROM PARIS.
Fichu and Scarf.
The girl who is quick io take advan-
tage of effective things will revel in
the revival of the fichu and the scarf.
All tho exclusive shops are showing
beautiful things in Spanish lace scarfs.
4 and as Spanish laco was a fancy of the
f early '80's there is bound to be some-
thing available still about the aver-
W^age house.
x The accepted scarf is about eighteen
inches wide and two and three quar-
ter yards long., and it comes in black
as well as in cream, white and ecru.
Equalizing the lace scarf in popularity-
is the scarf of mixed marabout feath-
ers in gray and white or the natural
tone and white.
Elaborate Imported Gown.
An imported gown of reseda velvet
has the skirt trimmed with bands of
broadcloth in the same shade. The
y blouse bodice has a trimming of Per-
sian embroidery, and it is made to
close on the left side. It is shirred
over the shoulders, the shirring ex-
tending to the sleeves, which are very
full. The yoke and the under sleeves
are of white lace over pale green
•ilk. and tbc top of the collar is of
