V? TlTTTTTT TTATT7 (I Designs For Costumes That Have Bo 1 , n . . i . it ivji. i: Nkw Yobk Citt (Special). The shape, material and trimming of jack ets are the topics tbnt are uppermost in the feminine mind to-day. i Two popular novelties appear in the accompanying cut. One in iu dark lrown olotb, criss-crossed with nar row linen in white braiding bordered with yet narrower lines in black far. These cover the sleeves, lattice fash ion, as woll as the jacket. The fronts jare tight-fitting and have a line of scallops down the middle. The hnsqne is scalloped as is the high, rolling collar with its finish of narrow black fur at the edge. The other jaoket is in bright blue cloth uud its front fastens over a narrow vest-like piece in scarlet cloth, stitched in dark blue. JACKET NOVFXT1ES Continued upou the shoulders this est expands into quite a shoulder cape. The foundation of stitched cloth is fairly concealed, however, by the broad innor facing of ermine. Ermine forms the very high collar. The Bleeves have ouffii iu stitched red sloth. , This mode of jacket is pecu liarly chio and may be reproduced in any combination of colors or ma terials. Adaptable Waists. The group of waists illustrated iu the large engraving affords a good soopo to the clever woman. Either of the ideas will serve for a cotton waist, and as the coming season jliv3 ArrnorniATE to promises to be a white, season, these styles are particularly adaptable Auy other material would serve for the severe shoulder yoke indicated iu one of the models; tucked lawn with a dainty lace or embroidered edge would conoeal the connecting line be tween yoke and bodice, and if properly made a waist eould be produced at a moderate price that would greatly please the wearer. There are two or three ideas which can be taken from this one model which the quick eye of the designer will lecognize. The second model iu this group would act well as a midsummer de sign. The insert iu the front would be of allover embroidery or very fine lawn spaced with Valenciennes inser tion. , The remainder of the waist could be closely tucked and the wide scallops that outline the insert wonld have u Ktraight line of insertiou banding the edge. It is notneoessary to confine the de sign to single tucks. Narrow, that is, one-half inch box plaits, would produoe a beautiful waist. Of course, fine shir ring oould bo used in these soft -waists, but shirrings are so diftloult to launder that such a gurment is not favorably received. Capallne Hats In Felt. White felt capelines are worn thi eason. The shape is very elegant if i is allowod to droop sufficiently over 'the eyes and at the back of the hair. The smartest of them will be trimmed milix a twist of black panne around the crown and a large bow of the same ilky material pieced somewhat on the lritu in front, the ends curling toward the buck. In order to make thiB hat rest well upon the bair it is necessary j to run a oouple of handsome pins through the brim at the back. Borne of them are attached with a jeweled liar, whioh is both novel and effective. 'J'lie large blue turquoises, whioh are coming into fashion again, will look well upon these white hats. rialn Jewelry la the Fashion. Many of the most expensive jewels swe the most simple in effect. A big gold-brown diamond set with a few tuiall white stones is a pendant for the neok and worn on a slender chain wf platinum, whioh is hardly visible on the wearer, ami whioh gives the J TT IT rv T T T r Tk T r 94 ornament the effect of being a plain bit of jewelry, but its price is elab orate. The pins for chatelaine watohes when they are studded with gems have a platinum foundation, as in ornaments for the hair and oorsnge, and which is almost invisible -1 A flaring Color Combination. One gown shows a rather darinp. color combination of golden' brown and old red. The main part of the costume is of the golden brown, the bodice having n yoke effect of the old red, and the tunic is ont np to a point in front to display the skirt beneath ol old red. The back is asimplo princess cut. A fnntlicr-Trlminad Pur ltoa Now. Not only do hats, the homes of feathers, show much fur trimming, but now the tables have been turned and the newest fur collars are feather trimmed. A new collar of mink, for instat.ee, ends with two big bunches of marabout feathers in place of the usual and commonplace heads and tail. Short Skirt Not the Vogne. We read and hear a great deal about the short skirt coming into vogue, and the women taking to it kindly. This is all nonsense, the smart woman has not and never will take to the short skirt for the street, unless for stormy weather, the cross ings of the wiseacres to the contrary. New Shirt Waists. The newest shirt waists have threo narrow box-plaits on either side of the front, each covered with lace or embroidery, and small tucks fill in the centre' of the back. A yoke in the back is no longer considered in dispensable, and the prettiest are made without this ugly feature. Tucking Iu High Favor. Everything is tucked. Silk waists have long been tucked crosswise, lengthwise, on the bias and in the lattice-work pattern; cloth has been subjected to the same process, and so has filmy chiffon and even velvet, though it is a pity to distort velvet with tucking. As Many Colors as Joseph's Coat. There is no shade nor color which flannel may be dyed which is not made into shirt waists. the white beason. A Comfortable Chamber Kobe.

The "advanced" English woman does not hesitate to carry out many kinds of work, whioh are not yet popular with her i American sisters. Among other things she not only farms with a vim and energy very astonishing to non-English women, but she regular ly and scientifically qualifies herself for farming by a course at one of tho agricultural oolleges for women, which thrive in England. The best and most favorably known of these, per baps,' is the Lady Warwick Hostel at Heading. The Countess of Warwick, formerly Lady Brooke, and the "Babbling Brooke" of semifacetious London swelldom, stands at the head of this institution, and also edits the Woman's Agricultural Times, the monthly magazine published by the college authorities. "Practical Hor ticulture for Women," "Bee-keeping for Women." and "The Keeping of Milch Goats as an Occupation for Women," were among tho subjects treated in a recant uumber of this periodical, and the manner .of treat ment was extremely plain and practi cal in each case. The linen indus tries, poultry culture and keeping, and the work of the various techical schools for women, which ore under the special patronage of the Princess of Wales, also occupy muoh space iu most numbers. The wholo tone of the magazino is one of study and ser iousness, even the jokes and witticisms which adorn its columns occasionally are solemu, and have nn agricultural flavor. The studouts at the agricultural colleges come from almost all grades And ranks of society, and the educa tion provided for them is both thor ough and varied. All about flower, fruit and vegetable growing, butter and cheese making, mushroom, bee and tomato culture they, learn, and Ihey mnst be well up in both theory and practice before they are entitled to the college certificate. A large majority of the graduates devoto themselves to specialties of various kinds, it is said, and tho inasculiuo farmers of England are rapidly learn ing to respect both their learning and prowess, and to regard them as for midable rivals. The cost of taking a thorough course at one of these agricultural colleges, with board or "residence," ranges from $350 and upward fo' each year, and tho length of time spent in study varies according to the quickness and capabilities of the students themselves, as well as of the number and intricacies of the branches undertaken. The roster of students is usually a gen erous one, and occasionally applicants are obliged to wait some timo before arrangements for their matriculation can be made. The studouts, according to the pub lio announcements sent out by the oollege, ore not expected to perform the heaviost or laborer's work upon the college lands, whioh are theirs to experiment upon under proper direc tion, bnt it would seem from a report lately published by tho warden of the Lady Warwick Hostel, Miss Edith Bradley, that at this establishment at least the students, all of them women, do "till the ground" literally as well as metaphorically. "Since the term ended in the last duys of June," says this personage, "our regular students have been leav ing in small detachments, as the weeks of the practical work came to an end. The last to go were some four or five who were iutrusted with the making of an outdoor mushroom bed. Turning the manure occupied three weeks, and then the spawning oould not be done until the proper temperature was reached. A careful record will be kept of the time and expense incurred iu making this bed, whioh will be put against the amount realized by the sale of the mushrooms. In this way tho students will gain prnotioal experience in one of the most profit able of the lighter branchos of agricul ture, with a view to specializing in it later." Commonplace l'eople. A woman who entertains a great deal tells me that she i t heart, brain, nerve and soul weary of clever people, and she longs to know somebody who neither writes, sings, recites, toots, 1 fiddles, nor even has ideas. She evn proposes a toast to tho stupid people who do not intrudo, and to those who, whilo not stupid, ofton pretend .they are, for the sake of tho quiet and peace they know you will appreciate. Cleverness runs in families nowadays. Even the household baby is hauled out at deadly night biurs to do his little turn, and the grandmother of the family is clever. Ah, a rare and satisfying person to meet is the family woman who is not clever; who makes no pretensions to cleverness; who has not prepared a paper on any of the burning questions of tho hour. For the sake of the workers iu the great world downtown, let me quaff the cup to the health of the woman who is satisfied to stay at homo and mend the stockings, and make pie and doughnuts and jelly-oake make anything, iu faot, provided she is con tented while she is doiug it. Probably uhe doesn't talk a great deal, and doesn't mind if you do not, and doesn't cherish it up against you if you do not hear what she is saying, even if you seem to be listening and are looking right at her. What a dear, restful soul she isl She knows good old tried-and-true remedies for ailments, and she doesn't even ask whether you want speoiflos for your ills or not, but she just claps them on, or pours them in, and bustles around and bangs up things, and tells you that you'll be better in the morn ing, and sure enough you are, dear unselfish prophet that she isl Har per's Bazar, Cording Is Used on All Accessories. Cording is a more elaborate prooess and is now especially in vogue for yokes, collars, cuffs, belts and revera. Instead of the fine or heavy oords that were onoe used in rows between rows of maohine stitching, a slightly stiff featherboning is used, and put on with a machine attaohicent whioh keeps the work even and avoids all pulling. The prettiest of yokes show cording iu rouuding form, lower In tho centre, with a niching of mous- seline ou the edge a fluffy effect for one with a flat chest. In cording tho filler must be of a fair size to show in distinct ridges, which is the beauty of All cording. Hewing on a button seems asimplo task, but it is one which many women do iu a wrong way. A button used as a trimming needs but a few stitches. as it is simply tacked on, while one used as a fastener needs strength and loose stitches cuduringly put in. No button fastons well that is sowed closely to the dress. Use twist, and wax it so that a few stitches will suf fice. Do not sew on a button so that the stitches disfigure the lining. A tailor puts his stitches through the upper cloth only, pointing tho needle back and forth, not up and down a process which is easily learned. A button is either for use or ornament. If for the latter purpose it should be unique in shape or design. Ladies' Home Journal. Dainty flannel Morning Robes. Morning gowns and breakfast jackets have borrowed the grace of all coun tries this season. Crepe kimonos, bordered with silk or satin; robos made like the Chinese women's dress, long flowing garments belted iu by wide, soft sashes, such as are worn by tho Eastern dancers of Michel's pic tures; monk's robes with hoods, high waymen cloaks with triple capes and a bolt of satin with a fancy buckle; and a loose, soft garment with odd sleeves, called the "Pope's robe." The latter is of finest scarlet flannel trimmed with white satin ribbon, and having open work insertings of red silk. A dainty little breakfast gown for a bride is iu white silk, patterned with sprays of coral and having aticliu of ooral-tinted chiflbu. Flannel night gowns are not usually things of beauty, but some very pretty ones are made with little rolling collars,, feather stitched with colored floss, the fronts, sleeves, etc., bound with satin ribbon. Sometimes these pretty bed gowns have sashes of ribbon or silk, and they are dainty eaough to comfort the wearer for having rheumatism or what-, ever necessitates their n so. Garment For filemler Women. Anxious to preserve the slenderness of their figures, many women will suf fer actual discomfort, or oven risk great danger to their health from cold, rather than wear heavy, bulky gar ments. Shetland underwaists, to be worn next the redingote, or rather overdress, are especially designed for this class of people. These garments are knitted loosely in pure Shetland wool. They ore exceedingly warm, though so fine and light, and the waists ire made with a high neck and long sleeves. They cau be woru un der a close-fitting bodice without ma terially increasing the size. They can be fouud at auy of the stores which make a specialty of fine hygiento wool undorwear. They are rather high iu price, but a pair of these waists mere ly for outdoor wear will last all win ter. They cau be had iu black, white aud gray wools respectively. Rather, than pay the price, many women sub stitute a ribbed wool under vest, whioh they wear under a light-weight cloth jacket. How Women Droit In Mlterla. Common-class womou in Siberia wear Bhawls or kerchiefs on their heads, whilo the rich women wear no head covering whatever. A traveler recently returned from that part of the world says that a Russian woman who is otherwise trim and modern in dress will go about with her hair dis hevelled to the point of the ludicrous. Less attention is paid to the head aud feet thau to other parts of their toilet. "It is odd enough to see thorn." says this same writer, "defying drip ping decks and muddy roads in the thinuest of heelless slippers, while tho breezes play havoc with the loose tresses of their hair. Their shirt waist is a feminine terror, with a broad turnover collar, fancy cuffs, cottou bows, many buttons and numerous frills, in place of the natty American shirt waist." A Fnr and Velvet Season. The winter is to be decidedly a fnr aud velvet season. Entire gowns are made of these materials, lightly lined with silk or satin alone, to remove all bulky effect, aud skirts and coats of Persian lamb or Caraout the fine, soft Astrakhan are the height of fashion.

The subject of green oysters has re cently awakened considerable atten tion. Thoy are moro highly prized by many consumers abroad than the or dinary kinds. The opinion is wide spread that the greening is injurious. Tho Marcunes oysters are harmless, and tho color does not depend upon the prcsenoc of a particular pigment. These oysters ore very popular abroad. No trace of copper or iron has boon found in them. The superior flavor of Smyrna figs is ascribed to certain Asiatic inseots, which produoe a moro perfect fertili zation of the flavors of the fig-trees in Asia Minor thau is commonly cITeotod in other countries. The flavor ap pears to depend upon tho number of ripened seeds in the fruit. During tho past year tho Department of Ag riculture has importod soma of these insects from Asia into California, and it is hoped that they will multiply thoro and improve tho flavor of American figs. ' A striking uso of tho X-rays is to be made iu the case of two sisters who are joined together in tho same man ner as the celebrated Siamese twins. Thcso girls were recently discovered in Brazil, and have reached the age of ten years. The examination with the X-rays is to be made with n view to determining whether the bond joining the two bodies oan bo severed by a surgical operation. If the bodies are independent, surgical treatment would bo justifiable and possibly succesful. but if there is an actual conueotion between the two organisms such a step, is of cotirso, out of tho question. A very few exceptions to the rule that animals live with their backs to wards the Bky and away from the earth, are fouud by a French scien tist. The larva of the beautiful floral beetle, whose winged existence is mosly Bpent near roses and other flow ers, is the best example. This grub is a fat worm that, does much damage to plant roots in gardens. It has threo pairs of legs, seemingly designed for use, yet it creeps about gro tesquely on its back, pushing itself forward six inches to a foot a minute by contractile movements of its seg ments, aided by a brush of hairs.

The desire to speak to her. definite ly, grew upon him. however, until he could resist no longer, aud he thrust himself upou her one evening at a function of some sort, where among so many people he thought to find ob scurity for a few brief moments. "I beg your pardon," ho said to her. anxiously, earnestly, pleadiugly, "but I have something to say to you aud I want to see you alone for just a min ute." "I am very sorry," she replied. "but Mr. Smithlets is waiting for mo there by the door." "Let him wait," he said desperate- ly, 'Jhis engagement is for an hour, mine is for all time." "Oh," she answered, "is that it?
