In new dinner dresses one notices more than ever the tendency to make the skirt very long. Pweeplng trains that absolutely wreck all chances at moving about In the drawing room re wound around the limbs of the fair wearer, giving her the tall statuesque pose which Is so much admired. The twisting of the skirt about tho ' limbs Is a fashionable fad and direc tions for doing It are thus given by a modiste.

The Vogue of l'nwrterett Hair. It has been left to the smart Parlr lenne to revive the vogue of pow dered hair. It lit not the white pow der which was once s Mtered so freely ' over the locks which composed the coiffures of our grandmothers, but colored powder. The finished coiffure Is but lightly dusted with the new dellcate-tlnted and perfumed powder. The effect ia much like the reflection thrown on the hair by a colored veil, and the novelty la certainly not without its attractions. A pale pink was the first color used, though now many shades of pink have been pressed into this service, and, with very few exceptions. It Is blond hair that receives this fine veil of col oring. On dark hair a deeper-toned powder, almost crimson In color, la sometimes to be seen, but a peculiar bronze shade of powder Is the most daring. New York Journal. The Touch of Valval, Velvet brooches on satin and silk are very old, but after all, It was doubtless ly the remembrance of them that In spired the designers to accent their finest silken creations with touches ct velvet. These touches add wonderfully to the beauty and effectiveness of these exquisite warp-print and embroidered lengths. Indeed, evening silks were never so lovely, as one gleans from a line to be shown shortly. The vel vety softness of Nature herself Is thus . gained In the sinking of a shadowed part of a flower Into a deep-toned vol vet. Exactly the same servtco is ren dered the delicate foliage a crumpled leaf, say, showing a bit of Its pale, dull under side done In velvet. High lights of velvet show up even more beautiful ly, the curl of a rose petal done in mlrolr velvet of a pale, shlmmcry pink, for Instance. But a look tells more than a column. So see for yourself when the time comes. Aatoroa Aluiree. The prescribed rule of fashion Is to wear quite a loose-fitting glove on the street and a smaller size for dress , afternoon or evening. For first wear In the autumn the white glace kid glove leads all others In favor. Fashion predicts that the present vogue of white costumes for women Is to continue some time, so that white gloves will be the proper ac companiment for them for .all occa Ions. After white gloves, tans, modes, beavers, slates, browns, pearls and cream are in favor In the order named. Black, of course, Is always standard. Blngle-toned solf-colored embroidery r Is In best taste for the backs of gloves. ' Paris points or a modification of them, Is the preferred design, although the lower-priced gloves sometimes have Just three single rows. Three clasps appear upon some of the mors expensive headwear, but as a usual ming two ciasps are me rule. Those of goodly size In white pearl are much liked for white gloves. ". Slxteen-button-length gloves, both In rued and glace, are to be very fash- nablg this coming winter. Whit and Mack are to be most used, al though a few other pale pastel tints will have a certain vogue. This re vival of the long gloves of five or six years ago Is due to the short sleeves so popular now. A mocha glove, In gray, with a white silk lining, will be the choice of those desiring an extra warm glove. Fur topped gloves and mittens are no longer worn. For evening wear lace mlfts will be worn to a certain extent, but will not bo so popnlnr ns sue le Rloves.

The comet discovered by Tempel In 1869 was again visible (In tele rcopes only) in September of the pres ent year. It was seen In 1869, In 1880, II yeurs later, and 'In 1891, 11 years after isso. It revolves in an elliptic orbit in a period of five and a half years (L'OCO days exactly, or five years, 1S3 days) and returned to perihelion lu 1875, 1S86 and 1897, but was seen In none of these years. The reason Is simple. Its orbit is so situated that In tho latter group of returns its dis tance was about 192,000.000 miles, while In 18C9, 1880 and 1891 the dis tance was about 9,600,000 miles. The difference of distances produces an enormous difference In brilliancy and accounts for its invisibility at alter nate returns. THE CONQUERING AUTOMOBILE. It Bat Coma to Star and Is Bound ta Be Lower in Price. At present automobiles are too com plicated and prices are too high for general adoption. The ratio of ma chines to population In the United States, 12,000 to 78,000,000 say, that is one to every 6600 persons, does not at first glance appear promising, but when we consider that only three years ago the ratio was ono to 1,600, 000 persons, a very different atpect Is presented; and it may be safely concluded that with such possibilities f demand, the automobile must, of necessity, grow to meet the measure cf its greatness. American makers are quicker to see this opportunity than are their foreign rivals, as Is proved by prices. Foreign machines are Bold In this country at from 12500 to 120,. 000, the record price, paid by a weal thy New Yorker, for a French ma chine, while the highest priced Amer ican machine Is $5000 and hundreds are In use which cost their owners from $650 to $800. A good horse and wagon may be bad for $200, and the automobile must ap proximate this figure to be come popular and give the horse some hope that at last he can quit work and live like a gentleman. That this may be done and still be profit able to makers Is shown in the his tory of bicycle prices, and in the fur ther fact that one of the first Ameri can makers, with the popular Idea In view, made machines to sell at from $400 to $600, and advanced his prices later because he could get whatever he asked. From the Meaning of the Automobile, by William J. Lampton, In Outing. The Man and Rla fluns. Once upon a time a man made a large collection of firearms of all times and nations, and was very proud of his curios. He showed them to his friends, expatiated on their several merits, and always assured his visit ors that there was no danger in hand ling them, for they cculd not go off, because they were not loaded. The fame of his collection reached the ears of an enterprising burglar, who made a daring entry of his prem ises In the dead of night and despoiled bint of his entire collection.

When sufficiently cooked, take them out of the oven and cut off the round end; take out the Inside of each potato with a teaspoon, put Into a basin, mix with a little pepper, salt, butter and an egg.

Tha Crlina or rating. The Argonaut recently contained an article on "The Three-meal habit," which has been copied in a number of our contemporaries. The Honolulu Advertiser, In commenting on this ar ticle, remarks: "In the tropics the lighter the diet the better the health. The leading doctors of Honolulu ad vocate two meals a day as being enough for anybody there, and not heavy meals at that. Those who toll hardest in the Hawaiian islands eat little but rice, while those who toll least eat three meals a day, with meat at each meal. Experience shows that this three-meal habit makes business for the eirug stores and doctors.

This last statement proves the case. In all prisons there la a diet for men in ceils, men n the yards and men working hard in the open air. Those in the cells, who lead about the same life as the average cierk or accountant, get a very light ration, but it is enough to keep them In health.

Everything Is Being Done to Do Away With Air Resistance. Scientists are paying much atten tion to the leakages of power and at tempting to obviate the loss. Experi ments with railroad trains have shown that a great deal of energy la wasted in driving unnecessary projections at the ends and sides ot cars against the resistance of the air. A distinct gain has been made even by casting car wheels in the form of discs. Instead of with spokes, for spokes cause greater resistance. Flywheels are now carefully shaped to meet as little resistance as possible, and a good deal of horse-power Is thus gained. In one experiment made with a large fly wheel It was found that SO horse-power was lost on account of unnecessary resistance, the total horse-power of the ensrlne belnc 630.
