"Pee here," said the smart man to th« hotel proprietor, I've just laid an argu ment with my friend 011 the matter of terms,,and 1 want you to decide." "Fire away," said the proprietor, ac cording to the New York Press. "Well, I told my friend 1 was coming down here to the oflice to pay my bill. Mi bill, you understand? Was that right?" Of course. What did he contend?" J "He said I should have said your bill* How about it?" "Well, yea. It certainly is my bill. That seems to be correct." "But you said just now my bill waa right." "U, well; it's both. It's your bill and it's my bill." " That sorter makes it our bill, doesn't it?" "Yes," assented the proprietor, am ious to get rid of the man. "That s whal it is- our bill." "Well, that decision suits me to a T. Just you make out my half of it and I'll pay you right away, there's nothing like getting things straight." New Tourist Sleeping Car Service to California.

(Jun'l I'liM'r Aflonk Millinery Modes of Autumn fIRDS and wings of every de-1 scription are being worn | this month; indeed, some of j the models seen seem to be j nothing but a mass of birds I or wings. Pigeons appear, to be the favorite bird, aud j have somewhat taken the place of j small, rare birds. Ospreys and coque feathers are also pressed into service. The osi>rey that the general public can ( .afford to buy is only an imitation of ■ie real thing. I think with a new hat and one or (wo dainty accessories we can manage to exist without new autumn garments, always provided we have a cosy wrap for chilly evenings. But headgear is an absolute necessity. None of us will buy straw, unless it be a plait mixed with cloth; the newest fabric is a chiffon plait which, as far as appear ance goes, might be of silk or straw. It is a beautifully light and soft sub stance, which twists into most delight ful shapes. I do not think there is anything par ticularly new to record in the matter of toques except that they are wide in front, the width often being arrived at by wide-spread wings. The three cornered hat is gaining daily in favor in large as well as in small sizes. They are just now principally composed of beaver or felt. I think the three-cor nered hat is always *. pretty fashion, and it harmonizes well with the Direc toire coat, especially when adorned with fancy braid or cords and cockades. We saw a good many of these last year, but tliey promise to be popular again. I have seen a charming three-corner ed hat in mulberry-red felt, the brim j edged with velvet of a brighter shade! of cockade, from which emanated an \ upstanding osprey, about four inches high. Tliis kind of brush will be a feature of the toque of the future. Pretty, too, was a toque in bright sreen chiffon-plait, adorned with au- j tumnal fruits, and worn with a shaded green and brown veil. There are a i ?reat many brown and green felts worn j with rather plain, straight brims, tilt- | ed up at the back and trimmed with I * ruche of shaded taffeta round the j 'rown, while on the bandeau at the back are large lows of colored velvet. 1 Green and yellow art shades are I much in vogue among the autumn mod sis. Whether they will continue pop- j alar or not i 3 another matter. They ! are distinctly trying shades, but the Dunning of the modern milliner seems able to make almost anything becom ing. The ribbons used are delightfully soft, both as regards shade and sub stance. Bottle-green seems a daring • olor to wear on one's head, but I have seen an exquisite model of a Directoire hat in this shade, adorned with three pnornioits velvet roses, taking in maty shades of bronze and green. Toques composed of coque feathers find pheasant are still to be seen here and there, but they are mostly worn by traveling Americans, and I do not hink will take a firm hold on the mil linery world. Ostrich plumes are immensely thick, if long fiber, very little curled and Fashion Gossip of Paris fJ^^ARIS. —I have arrived at the conclusion, after paying a most interesting visit to a well known Parisian atelier, " iat mot ' es °f the J°se \GSJ7 phine era will be much in vogue for tea gowns, outdoor coats and operat wraps, and that won derful embroideries will be a feature of the same. Stiff brocades and velvets have been revived.

Tho skirt, althought of velvet, was arranged in a series of gathers, finished with au enormously thick ruche of velvet round the hem. The effect was really very good, though It sounds a trifle heavy. Debutantes are still wearing shaded chiffons and shaded taffetas, which charming evening froegs. A pretty jnodel for a youthful bride was in brown shading into orange, the skirt arranged with a series gathers alter nating with tucks, and much befrllled and flougced rougd thq feet,. Thj? CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1904. beautifully shaded. Marabout trimming is also being used on millinery; the shaded marabout is particularly effec tive. Red is used, but not in the very bright shades, and mulberry tones seem to be most in vogue. There always seems to be a strong desire for sub dued autumnal tints In headgear at this time of year. A pretty Breton sailor hat has a wreath of ripe and unripe blackberries and their own shaded fo liage. It is rumored that oriental embroid eries will be used on velvet hats. Moire-antique and Terry velvet are fa vorite fabrics for the picture bat, sev eral shades being introduced in one AUTUMN VISITING GOWN AND HAT. Gown is made of Havana cloth and trimmed with coppcr-colored velvet and lace. Hat of mulberry red felt ornamented with pigeon breast. model. There is a perfect furore for shading. Veils are seldom worn now with the picture hat; those that are used are o! the linest tulle. A great deal of fur is to be used on the winter millinery, but it is too early to think of this just yet. As a matter of fact, fur on the head is nearly al ways too heavy to long remain popu lar. We have by no means seen the last of the marabout-stole, for it has been revived in a more costly form. Shaded marabout on the hat and a shaded ma rabout stole to match are lovely, and these are tio expensive to become vul garized. They say that fur ties will be very sumptuous this year. Those of sable, lined with ermine, or vice versa, will be the favorites. There will be a tremendous amount of fox worn, but it is early yet to talk about furs, though the wise woman who possesses good skins will begin now to think about having the same renovated and brought up to date. ELLEN OSMONDE. quaint Josephine bodice was finished with a bolero of beautiful lace on which were appllqued golden-brown velvet leaves worked in gold thread. Gold trimmings are a feature of day as well as of evening frocks. Despite all the new shades, some of the best firms are adhering to white white for evening wear, white for day wear, and, above all, white for lingerie. Two or three years ago we saw a great deal of colored batiste in the wardrobes of the ..randes (lames, but now the best lingerie U of purest white, adorned with real Valenciennes and a great deal of hand work. Corsets are of the dain tiest descrlpt.on, composed of silk ba tiste, and voluminous cambric petti coats are to the fore. The latter in many cases take the place of silk un derskirts, though the latter are worn with tailor-made gowna. Some of the plainer petticoats are trimmed with bright-colored silk braids, and braids of every kind may be included in the list of the season's trimmings. Purple and mulberry shades compose some of the new toilettes de vislte. These again . re mostly of silk trimmed with velvet, and many prlncesse robes are being made through their popular ity is by no means assured. Many "Empire" frocks of lace will be made with underdresses of satin, very often edged with fur. Very beautiful is the lace coat for evening wear, embroider ed with panne and lined with chiffon. Edgings of sable and bands of colored velvet also form effective trimmings for the evening wrap. Of course, the real novelty of the sea son is the paletot or redingote. This forms a useful wrap and is sometimes of the same stuff as the dress beneath, but the best samples are in silk and satin, though later on these will be re placed by velvet. Some are trimmed with marabout, some with fringes and embroideries. I have seen one really old-fashioned looking black silk pale tot lacing up the front, with a quaint ruche down either side, and the col lar and sleeves edged with black silk fringe. These paletots show the short shoul der and a sleeve that is tight at the top. No doubt we shall get accustomed to It, but the paletot at the present mo ment is a somewhat unbecoming gar ment in spite of the beautiful fabrics in which it is made. It is a useful length for furs, and I have already seen some models in grey astraohan, also in Persian lamb, edged with ermine. ANNETTE GIVRY. With Some.
