For some time women's one essential has
been a "trim waist." Gowns have been
made with the waist the objective point.
You have judged a woman and her gown by
the impression of fit that the waist circle
gave. Women have sacrificed their hips,
their shoulders, everything to attain the one
essential beauty a small waist. All that
is orer.-at least it will be soon, and it will
be well over. Alter all, the waist that
fashion required was a product ot art and
not a natural endowment To be sure, the
waist ot beauty in its natural lines was
likewise a thing ot bcautr when corseted,
but it was no longer a thing of natural
beauty. The empire gown is going to make
neck and shoulders the essentials. Such a
style will give all of a woman a chance. So
much had to be sacrificed to the waist that
Loose and Graceful.
manv women were reduced to one charm.
The "sketch of tn o women in Empire gowns
illustrates the fashion topic which I have
chosen for THE DISPATCH to-day.
To the economical and practical woman,
with a desire to dress herselt adorningly at
home, these two examples will indicate,
clearly enough, how old garments may be
turned into new ones by the additions of
fresh materials. Another point worth en
forcing is the place for extremely pictur
esque toilets. Be tastefully quiet in your
street costuming. Exercise judicious modera
tion in costuming yourself for parties and
balls. But "at home" you may put your
self into Empire gowns if you please.
Such dresses as yon see in the picture will
suggest the beauty of the torso a beauty
that has been forgotten by fashion. Its folds,
loose from below the bust, will, as they
sweep about the figure, follow the natural
lines. To secure the "waist," the human
figure has been compressed and pushed out
of shape by the necessary stays. The nat
ural lines here will be far'more satisfactory
to the eye than the late conventionalized
curves. "Women are going to be more com
fortable. Their movements will gain a
womanly charm and a grace they nave long
lacked, and manners are going to undergo
modifications. I am not preaching "dress
reform." mind you, but merely giving the
news of the fashions. And I think it is
good news.
Waists are Sashed or Belted Now.
There is already a tendency to short
waistedness in some of the dresses, but
belts made of five rows of narrow satin
ribbon mounted on a whalebone about 12
inches high, the latter decorated with five
little satin bows or rosettes, are the latest
craze for blouses,and a very pretty and be
comingconceit they are. They fasten at
the back with a simple hook and eye, and
may be had in satin or grosgrain ribbon of
any color. Other sashes or waistbands are
broad pieces ot moire or satin cut on the
cross, gathered up in the center by a deep
Directoire buckle of jet or fancy ornament
ation, and carried round to the back, where
the v fasten narrowly with a second but much
smaller bucKle. Myfashion plate herewith

The sight, ot his sister enjoying this treat
made Matter Daniel 'Washington Granger
set up a tremulous err and struggle from
his mother's arms. He pattered across to
the visitor and held up his little hands
with an entreaty lor "tick-tick," with a
smile spreading over his rhole chubby face
which might have melted the heart of a
Herod blue eyes ana red lips, and fat dim
pled rosy cheeks all one smile.
"Don't let them trouble you," said Lucy,
rising to reclaim her offspring, as the stran
ger held his open watch to Bonnie's ear.
"They don't trouble me." he said quietly,
while Bonnie embraced bis knee with both
arms, and stamped, jumped up and down
with Inarticulate exclamations which ex
pressed his delight in the position and his
strenuous objection to being removed from
it.
"You like children," asked the fond
mother.
He nodded with abrief "Tcs."
"Perhaps you have a little cirl or boy ot
' your ouu?" she said sympathetically.
"So, I'm not blesse'd in that way. I've
neither wife nor child. It isn't many men
in these parts who have Dan Granger's
luck."
"Yes, it's the children that make the
home," she rejoined, with a contented
smile, accepting the compliment as refer
ring entirely to Birdie and Bonnie. "I for
get whether" tou said vou knew my hus
band?" "I've had the pleasure of his acquaint
ance some time ago."
"Do you think Birdie like him?" ahe in
quired, wifn a lively interest
"We ell, I can't say che locks much as
I remember him."
"Don't you think so?" said Lucy, disap
pointedly. "Some people think Bonnie
more like him. Bonnie has his eyes. He's
papa's own Bonnie Bov, Isn't he?" she
added, holding oat her hiaOi to tho child,

As to colore? Well, at the beginning of
each season it is absolutely impossible to
set down the law about what will or what
will not be worn. It all depends on indi
vidual taste, and as to colors, one may
pretty generally state with accuracy that the

favorite color or colors of the previous vear
will be left on one side altogether, inas
much as it is not to our designers' advant
age to allow us to wear a last season's dress
or bonnet Hence the straining ever after
something not hitherto seen, and the dyer
who produces a new and becoming shade
mar consider his reputation and fortnne
made. Up to date I have been told that
greens, browns, purples and rich damask
rose crimsons are likely to lead the wav for
winter clothing, together with the ever-
popular plaid that are now aiso woven in
velvet and satins, and heavy twilled and
canvas silks to replace the serge silks and
surahs that were so much worn last sum

Fashion Bits.
ATejtkis parly isnot complete i ithout the
new singer sandwiches: and what are tlievT
Two thin, delicate slices of biead with bits
ot conserved ginger placed between them,
Fbhoes are fascinating. Though those of
fur tail have an air of savagery and the coin
fringes are barbaric, there are innumerable
silk and other fringes that are dainty and
fluffy, rich and heavy, rippling and shim
mming. The pale-tinted passementeries are almost
as piettv as the white. An Insertion of
white with pink and Blue flowers woven In
it. and another or gold tinsel with green and
bine ciystal beads, were delightful In their
coloring.
The white trimmings, says tho New Tork
Times, are far nioie varied and lovely than
usual. White feather thistles are strung
with gold Imlls between and hung in 12-inch
lengths from gold gimp, making a wide
fringe. Peails and steel are in bands of
rosettes. White ostrich feather tassels nre
bound with rold and hnng, two deep, from
gold gimp. Festoons of pearls have gold
fringe dioppine between the festoons.
White passeinentene fringe is headed by

who, however, having just mounted the vis
itor's knee for the enjoyment of a "ride to
Banbury Cross," was deaf to maternal
blandishments. Presently the remembrance
that she had lett a pie m the oven called
Mrs. Granger to the kitchen. When she
had duly attended to the domestic depart
ment, she returned to find that Birdie
had just propounded a difficult question to
the visitor namely, "Do fish go to
heaven."
"She has had fish on her mind ever since
the man tried to pass some stale trout off on
me yesterday as just fresh caught," ex
plained Lucy.
"Do they go to heaven?" Birdie repeated,
pnilmg at the visitor's coat, evidently de
termined not to lose the opportunity of get
tin; this knotty problem solved by his su
perior intelligence.
"Well, don't "you think, Mrs. Granger,
that we may suppose, it there's anything m
the Buddhist doctrine ot transmigration,
that they get there at last?" he suggested.
"They" det there at la3t," echoed Birdie.
She cogitated awhile, turning the question
over in her mind in its various aspects, and
then announced her conclusion that they
"must make heaven smell awful bad!"
The stranger laughed softly.
"There's a curious mixing of ideas zoo
logical and celestial in the early stages of
development," he observed.
"Yefi The first time Birdie ever heard
thunder it was only a mutter and rumble in
the distance. She listened to it very attent
ively, and said, Big puss g'otrll' Then it
rumbled louder and nearer, and my little
Birdie didn't like it so much then, and she
came to me for protection, and said, 'G'eat
g'izzly bear e'owL' "
Birdie listened to this narrative with an
air ot approval of her own interpretations
of natural phenomena.
"Ess," she remarked, complacently.
"When it t'unders, g'eat big bears g'owl in
heaven."

stranger's company; indeed, she could
hardly believe that an hour had passed
when'he intimated that he wouldn't intrude
on her any longer; he wouldn't wait to see
Granger to-day.
"Won't you stav to dinner?" she asked
him hospitably. "It'll be on the table in
five minutes. Mr husband will be glad,
I'm 6ure, if you'll stay."
But he gratefully declined her invitation,
and rose to take his leave.
"What's oo name?" asked Birdie, as he
rose.
"I should have asked that," said Lucy,
smiling. "Who shall I say has called?" "
He looked at her thoughtfully, stroking
his golden tawny beard for a moment belore
he answered:
"You can say Mr. Thompson William
Thompson."
"Well, Mr. Thompson, I'm sure my hus
band will be real sorry to have missed
you," said Lucy, cordially. "I hope you'll
call again."
"Will you promise me a welcome if I
do?" he asked; and his keen, blue eyes were
serious, although a smile just curved his
lips.
"Indeed, we'll all be delighted to see you
any time," she assured him. "Say goodby
to Mr. Thompson, children, and give him a
pretty kiss."
Bonnie, who was standing on a chair,
nestling against his mother's side, with her
arm around him, was nothing loth. He
threw his fat dimpled arms round Mr.
Thompson's neck, and gave him an ursine
hug and kiss. Birdie hung back a little for
a moment, with a play at coyness, belore
she consented to bestow on him an equally
affectionate parting salute. Then Lucy
held out her hand with a friendly goodbye.
He took the hand and held it gently, al
most reverently.
"Well, goodbye, Mrs. Granger," he said,
"I thank you for your kind welcome, and
I'll not forget this hour. Perhaps some
time you'll know that I don't forget it"
He looked down at the children with a
glance that seemed to her strangely and
needlessly serious.
"It's a good niany years," he added, after
a pause, "since a baby's kissed me."
Then he passed out of the door. (He

"He was tall and fair, with lignt tawny

Lucy, anxious to recall the agreeable

"Yes, I noticed it when he was playing

her husband's face reflected upon her own:
for a dark look of doubt and defiance had
kindled like a danger signal in Dan's eyes.
But in another moment his native good

half-reluctant laugh, which, however, was
not all of mirth.

aghast "He didn't say where he was going.
He went that way."
"Did he go into the office?"
"No; he went to the office door first, but
I asked him in here."
Dan went across to his office and assured
himself that the bags of gold dust and
nuggets were there untouched.
"It's not Captain Phil's way to hide him
self," he said, thoughtfully pulling his
heavy brown mustache. "When he's oncost
been seen about, be s pretty sure to turn up
at the saloon. He'll be at the Four Aces
to-night"
"You won't go, Dan?" said Lucy anx
iously. "Yes, Loo," he said, kindly but decid
edlv. "I shall go to Four Aces to-ui;ht.
I must look there, at least, to see what's up
if it's only for half an hour. It can't be
allowed to go round that I 'back down' be

Lhcy wasted no words in remonstrance
or entreaties to him to stay at home. She
knew they would be in vain.
"Don't look like a ghost, old girl!" he
said, givinc her a hearty hug. "I'll come
back all right."
But he was not quite so sure of that as
ho professed himself.
The Four Aces was crowded that night
when Granger went in.
Dan's eye fell at once on the tall figure
and tawny head of his old enemy. The
crowd was thickest around Captain Phil,
but in a curious and apparently accidental
way It thinned as he looked around and
saw Dan Granger coming down the room.
Captain Phil was tamed for his quickness
"on the draw and shoot," but Dan Granger
was known as a dead-shot, too. Greek met

Those nearest to the Captain fell a step
back. There was a break in the buzz of
talk; one man who was telling a story broke
off before he got to the point; the men play

in hand; the barCeeper and his boy prepared
to duck and drop behind the high counter,

a halt, as the corner of the table interposed
as a sort of a barrier. Captain Phil looked
at him steadily eye to eye. Silence was an
unusual thing in the Four Aces saloon, bnt
Captain Phil's words cut sharply into a
silence as he said, in his easy level drawl:
"Say, Granger, will you drink with me?"
Dan bad the usual Western coolness and
impenetrability of expression and nothing
in his impassive face betrayed his surprise
at this non-hostile greeting; he only paused
a moment before be replied:
"Yes, Captain, I'll drink with you."
CaDtain Phil turned sharply to the bar
with the order:
"Drinks all around!"
The men crowded round the counter; the
barkeeper and assistant found their hands
full All were ready and willing to drink
with Captain Phil, whose eyes were on Dan
Granger as he drained his "glass with the
rest
And that was all that the Four Aces saw
of the episode of the meeting of the old
time antagonists, which it had been fully
expected would end in some siaguinary en
counter. But as Dan Granger went his war down
the lonely track through the gulch that
night he heard a following footstep fall
quickly on the path behiud him. It came
closer, quicker was close upon him. He
wheeled round and laced the manwho had
followed him, and as he saw who it was bis

for his dorriuger, cocked it, held it ready.
Captain Phil heard the ominous click.bnt
he stood there quietly, his own hands
empty, and in the broad flood of moonlight
which here bathed jock and tree in silvery
light Dan could see there was a curious
smile upon his face
"Yes," Captain Phil said coolly, "I guess
you've got the drop on me and you're
about the first man that ever did get the
drop on Phil Darrell ! See here! I've
just a word to say to you that I couldn't
say out yonder. I've spent an hour under

"You mean lhat," said Dan, loosening his
grip on the deadly weapon he held.

and as he let it go Captain Phil smiled
again.
That was the last Dan Granger ever saw
of Captain Phil and not many months after
that they heard the last of him. He and
his men, probably encouraged by long im
punity, had embarked upon an unusually
daring venture. They had made a kind of
border raid into the rising and prosperous,
it youthful, city of Tuttlestown. Armed
and mounted, they had dashed into it,
clearing the streets with their revolvers,
burst into the City Bank, shot down the
cashier when he offered resistance, forced
and rifled the safe, dashed out of the city as
they had entered it, shooting right and left,
and beaten a safe retreat into the mountaini
with their ill-gotten booty.
This was too much for the party of order,
which happened to be strong in Tuttlei
town. The free and easy Far Wpst code of
morality is lenient to promiscuous shooting
so long as a man does not strike his enemy
in the back. Captain Phil and his kind had
thriven on long tolerance ot that perverted
public sentiment which exalts mere animal
courage to heroism. But now his time had
come. The leading citizens of Tuttlestown
organized a vigilance committee and retri
bution sharp and stern was on his track.
He was shot down early in the struggle,
and a cairn of stones in Bed Canyon marks
to this day the place where Captain Phil
fell fighting.
