Hopklnson Smith likes Scran ton. He said so frankly to sovetal i:o- ple Thursday night. He liked the size and the personnel of his audience nnd said that It was one of the most ap preciative he ever had. The delicate little touches of humor, as when the colonel majestically presents his card: "Colonel Carter, Carter Hull, Cartor vllle, Virginia," and the author stated "He does not write 1. S. A. for tha reason that ho does not consider that It will add dignity to his title," wero acknowedirod with the brightest littlo tipples of enjoyment all over the house. Air. Smith says that most of his audi ences regard tills portion of the pro gramme with tlie heaviest solemnity. The Young Ladles' society may as well make a standing annual engage ment with Air. Smith during the term of ills natural life, for the people of this city will invariably throng after him, even if he should never write a new line and should continue to read their old favorites. It may gratify patrons to know that the society realized more than WOO. Last night he read before a cultured body of listeners in Honos dale. He Is about to publish a new book, whose scenes arc laid in the South in the period just preceding tho war.. He never makes the mistake of tiling the public with hastily prepared books, but when every one longs for something In the same carefully stud led line from his pen, a new work comes out, so well written, tho lan guage so faultless, tho human nature so deep, .so true and lovable, that his vast public reads it with slneerrst sat isfaction and then proceeds to re-read the other books whose characters ho has made familiar as the dear ones at our own firesides.

This dress question Is liucotitlnrt soinelhliiff inoro than n burden It Is a nlKht inure, a horror, a noisome vnm plro which Is sllllltiir tho breath of Up raeo or woinonklnd In civilization. To look nt it counter of dress a turfs nnd nilorninonlH hi a went 1k,I today Is for a wonian or modurato nientii! lo fuel appalled xxlth the wild Impossibility or attempting to appear up-lo-date. .lust as we had reached thu delect able, spot where we hud achieved the tallor-nown, a niarvcl of sultnblllty for every purpose: shupl.e, severe In Us lines, plain In Its details yet absolutely correct fur most day occasions since thu removal of thu Jacket revealed a bodice which could not bo limited In Um elaboration Just when this inlllcn lal preliminary hud been itttntmal. tilonis" comes the edict for trimmed dresses. No more severity of finish, no I more discreet stltchlin? and one loiv(l I effects. No more olcRant simplicity. All ' this la chunked, Such absurdities of de tail! Such extravagance of decoration. Such limitless expenditure, as was once only dreamed of In court life! The plain little frock must he relegated to morning shopping. The cloth dress must become a garment fearfully and wonderfully made, with an Infinitude of vests, a luxuriance of garniture, a( bote-nolr as to cost. For bo it known that the plain gown Is no more. It ban j gone the way of all good things and must give place io the ornate, the flamboyant, the giddy and tlnselly. 0 The most ordinary cloth costume oiw sees noxv In the best shops, has un ilnrslcovps In the coat, nnd Is built on elaborate linos, as to rovers and freaks of finish nt tho hot torn. There Is some thing incongruous in the Idea of undor ! sleeves or oven thu loose fitting bishop ' sleeves now so much In vogue, In a street gown. As to vests; one tan cloth costume meant for (ho street has no less than four different waist coat effects, all in use at the same time. First there was tho coat proper, a cloth cut away from the front and finished with gold braid. Just inside, showing only a line of color, was a soft pale blue broad cloth with tiny gold buttons set close to gether, within that was a vest of white cloth elaborately embroidered in bl-iclc chenille and and gold, the rovers thrown back over the others. Still beneath this was a full pouching blouse effect of Persian panne vel vet combining the tints of tan, blue ami white with a dash of Pompellan red. Expensive? Of course. That is why the modistes make styles. Hut how discouraging it all is! Yet tlo you know there was never such an opportunity for tho deft fing ered girl, the wonian with ideas and time and a knowledge of needle work as today? These gold trimmings, the'ie rich Persian' embroideries so much in vogue cost tremendously. Why a little band for tho hat is marked $6.00, al though with Its yard or a trltie more In I length its glitter of gold and. bronze or ! silver, it makes almust the enure ti mi ming. It could be absolutely repro duced for one-tenth of that sum. All needed would be a package of gold paillettes (cost 10 cents) some bits of tiny gold cord and a supply of tltv: gold thread. These sewed In a pattern on net or following out the design of a chantilly lace will make as elaborate a strip for a velvet hat as could be de sired. To add richness to the effect cut out a flat flower design from black or brown velvet and appllriuu it at Inter vals, following tho border with a Una of gold thread. A wild rose, with stem: a leal design, a conventionalized blossom of any sort will give an indo sirabiy rich effect. .. 4 As to the Persian embroidery it costs $ a yard at tho least calculation when sold by tho piece. T examined some the other day which seemed a mass of glittering sumptuous color. And what tlo von Mjpposo? It was simply tho Persian velvt with the Intricate palm leaf design which looks like a Hokalira. rug in coioi'ing, and tho linos were followed out with a fine gold bra 111, the brilliant rods and rich blues gleaming between. Ymt can buy that Persian velvet for $1.10 up ward. The gold braid costs about "0 cent's it piece, of twelve yards. It makes the most gorgeous trimming for collars or rev.'is and a III tlo .scrap of it will brighten up a whole costume and Ionic luxurious indeed. The cost would !) trilling. The beautiful gold laces one seen antl the expense of which Is so gr at ' can easily bo copied with coarse Uus- ' thin lace and gold thread. It is a pleasant and fascinating work and will give many possibilities for Christmas gifts. Tli. iwnv Kohr.lnl.s til' llm Scranton Hallway company is a great boon to certain sections of tho city, noticeably tho patrons of tho Laurel Hill lhi", wliero the service lins been very Irro- i giilar. liut tlie new met hod has been the source of troubles to tho conduc- i tor. "Hotelier I've answered moron fifteen hundred questions already," mourned a conductor on that division at the closo of the first day. "They want to know how close tho enrs run, and by thivthue 1 figure that nut they ask how many theiv a;o an hour, and I forgot to ring up fares. Then they try to make mo tull how long tho compuny'll keep this thing up, of having enough cars nt noon so't they don't have to hung onto tho ren tier, and when I tell 'em 'Hlaniotlnn,' they look perky, us much as to say, '1 told you so,' Then they want ma to commit myself to stating tho exuec minute when the earn will pass a certain corner und while I'm a try ing to make a rough guess at II, r pass tho corner where they want to gel off, nnd then they fall lo cussln' me." "T don't know," ho added re flectively, 'which is the worst; to get cussed for not having curs enough for folks to got Into or to have so muny that you can't nnswer all the foil .questions they lire at you about the now schedule." .Saucy Hess. .i m Thanksglvlue Day at Niagara Falls.
