N 01 FASW LETTER. TJie Revival of Stripes a Fea ture of the Season. PLAIDS ABE RICH AND SMART. Tha New Broadcloth ! FlnUhed Hon tike Velvet Than Silk Plaid Crape ! a New and Popular Fabric Thla Fall. It is interesting to know that stripes are to be In nigh style this winter. A smart design has each alternate stripe made up of complimentary shades. The stripes are shown In mannish mix tures of fancy suitings In many of the new cheviots. Bedford cord Is to take on a new lease of life, and prunella, a fabric OOWN OF BTRirEU CHEVIOT. very like broadcloth, Is to be fashion able this season. Paris dressmakers are looking, too, with approval upon rep, a glossy, piece dyed fabric. There are charming suitings In broken checks and blurred stripes showing a black satin overstripo. The ground colorings are effective In dark combinations of blues, greens and deep reds. The new broadcloth takes on more j of a vel"ct than a silken finish this ' year. It Is soft and exceedingly beau tiful. Trinted satin brocades scattered with largp floral designs will be much used as foundations for chiffon and silk grenadine gowns. Something new in silken fabrics Is plaid crape. It is shown in pompa dour patterns, white crapy background, with the most fascinating of white silk stripes and big flowers in pink, blue or yellow scnttertd carelessly over It. This stunning gown Is constructed of smoke gray striped cheviot. The skirt Is cut with a center seam, and the stripes hit exactly, forming a pointed effect. The Moused waist has a vest of gray messaline silk and revers and collar of crochet lace. A MODEL HAT. The new autumn plaids In their dark, rich colorings are exquisite and rival In beauty the classic plaids of tbe fan. . Scotch clans. Olive and emerald green platded In black. Mack plaided In maroon, dull heliotrope grounds, dull greens and blues, bronze I BLACK VELVET MODEL. that merges Into blues and greens, are all to be seen In the shops. Simple school frocks with waists and skirts In one will be worn by tbe small girl this winter. These dresses follow the prevailing style and are trimmed with rows of tailor stitching. The skirts are either plain or plaited, bang full from the wuist and reach to a point below the knee that is becom ing to the little wearer. The willow 11 lume Is a smart variety of the ostrich feather that will adorn many winter hats. Iu some cases it Is exquisitely shaded, the lighter ef fect forming the under part of tbe feather. Tretty little pointed toques are trim med with stiff wings arranged at the sides between a large oblong buckle. The Illustration shows a smart Mack velvet hat The brim Is hound with folds of black silk, and the same silk encircles the dome crown and Is knot ted and drawn through a pearl buckle In front. Two handsome feathers fall gracefully on the hair. OF TAFFETA TOO. Many of the handsome new suits are made with cape wraps and are accom panied by toques of the cloth edged with a unrrow band of fur. It Is early In the season to speak of furs, but the fashionable furriers are HAT OF TAFFFTA 811,4. out with all their new styles. Very smart are the little coats built along pony and bolero lines. XlulTs are to be flat, but not quite so much on the pillow order as those of lust winter. Scarf ties and small neck pieces in all but short haired pelts are as modish as ever. Later In the season no doubt there will be other Ideas developed In these pieces. Not a few women will regret to hear that last year's favorite the dress of plum or prune color has been ruled out of favor tills season. Its place has been taken by a -deep shade of red. Gowns of this description are elab orately trimmed witli black braid, the coats being faced with white moire silk or black taffeta, while unobtrusive touches of gold are combined with the braid. Manufacturers are pushing moire silk vigorously, but the chances are that It will be chiefly used for trimmings and elderly women's frocks. Taffeta silk makes some of the smart hats of the season. The Illustration shows a model of burgundy red taf feta. The brim Is stitched, and about tbe high puffed crown Is a twist of shaded brown ani red sillc, caught at the side with a bnnch of autumn leaves. MUCH IN LITTLE. New shades of blue promise to be very fashionable this fall and winter. They are brighter In tone than those of the summer. One of the prettiest of the new shades Is In an exquisite cornflower tint. China blue combines beautifully with gray blue and prom ises to be a favorite combination of the season. Many attractive striped designs are offered in the new shirt waist flannels. BLOTJSS OF RADIATE SILK. The color scheme often Includes many bright tones that blend Into Inconspicu ous harmony. Radiate, a variation of radium, takes first place among the fall silks. It is almost transparent and very lustrous. This silk will be made up Into elab orate blouses, but the waists require a thin lining of some description. All kinds of lace and embroidery will be used on winter gowns, but heavy cushion embroidery Is tbe new est fad. Black silk lace will trim many smart black costumes, with a touch of color to relieve the somberness. Sleeves are still elaborately trimmed, and It seems one can hardly overdue the matter In this respect. Tbe short puffed sleeves are as full as ever, but they are less epaulet In fashion, most of tlie fullness being drawn toward the elbow, while the shoulder is flattened as much as possible to give a narrow ing effect to the figure. The blouse pictured Is of opalescent gray and pink radiate silk. Hands of Ir'nh lace ending In motifs trim the fronts, supplemented by groups of tiny tucks. The elbow sleeves carry out tho same Idea. JUDIG CIIOI.LET. NiGHT ROBES. Ther Were Onee Terr normiia end Worn In Ifci Ditvtlme. In the middle ages night robes, as a general thing, were unknown luxuries. t'nder the Tndors royalty and no bility had them made of silk or vel vet, and, as the old books say, "hence no washing was necessary." A night robe of black satin bound J with black taffeta and edged with vel vet of the same color was daintily fashioned for Anne Itoleyn. More luxurious still was one owned by Queen Bess. It was of black vel vet, fur lined, and greatly offset by flowing borders of silk lace. And In lTitlS her majesty gave orders that George Brodlgmau should deliver "threescore and six best sable sky one . to furnish us n night gown." years later her highness orders the delivery of "twelve yards of purpl.' velvet, frlozod on the back syde, with white and russet sllke," for n night gown for herself and also orders the delivery of fourteen yards of miirry damask for the "makynge of a night gowne" for some one else. Night gowns for ladles of a later period were called "nyglit vails." In Queen Anne's time It wax the fashion to wear them over the customary drey! In the streets in the daytime, when out on a pleasure wall;.. And. as was lit tlng, ladles who Indulged In night caps had them also made of silk or velvet, with "much pretty garnishing of lace and glittering cords," and the fair ones made presentation of costly caps to each other as tokens of respect or affection. MARINE TURTLES. How They Are Stripped of Their Sheila While Alive. The shells shipped from the Colon district are taken from turtles caught on the Lagarto and San Bias coasts of the Caribbean sea during the months of May, June, July and August, when they approach the shore to deposit eggs, which are laid on the sandy beaches above high water mark at night. Holes are dug about one and a half feet deep and the eggs deposited therein. Generally about three layings are made during a period of nine weeks. The eggs are lightly covered with sand and left to be batched out by the heat of the sun. The turtles are caught either while on shore or In the water by means of nets. As a rule, they are killed Immediately after being caught, cleaned and the shell frame washed with sand. But on the San Bias coast the Indians do not kill them, but at once proceed to re move the shell by subjecting the tur tles to great heat, afterward throwing tho turtles back Into the sea. By the application of heat the successive plates of shell come off very easily. Turtles caught In these waters vary in size from one to four and a half feet long, with a maximum weight of 150 pounds, and the average weight of j shell obtained from each is from six to seven pounds. The commercial value j of tortoise shell depends upon Ihe thick- j ness and size of the plates rather thuu upon the brilliancy of the colors. Ther Waited Well. A large audience onee gathered In Baltimore to hear Professor Sylvester read a unique original poem of 4(10 lines, all rhyming with the name Rosa lind. He had appended to the poem a large number of explanatory footnotes, which he said he would read first. When at last he had done so he look ed up at the clock and was horrified to find that he had kept the audience an hour and a half before beginning to read the poem they had come to hear. The astonishment on his face was an swered by a burst of good humored laughter from the audience, and then, after begging nil his hearers to feel at perfect liberty to leave If they had en gagements, he read tbe Rosalind poem. No MIMnke. The editor was apologizing over the telephone for an annoying typograph ical error in his pnper. "In our account of the meeting at which you were chairman last night, colonel," he said, "we tried to Bay, 'Following is a detailed report of the proceedings,' but It appeared In print, as perhaps you have noticed, 'Follow ing is a derailed report,' and so forth. Mistakes of that kind, you know, wlll"- "It may have been an accident," In terrupted the man at the other end of the wire, "but It wasn't a mistake. You sidetracked-most of the report." Chicago Tribune. Antlamoklnnr Edict. Strenuous efforts have been made in times past to stamp out smoking. Among tbe rules of an English school In 1(521) It was laid down that "a master must be a man of grave behavior, nei ther papist nor Puritan, no haunter of alehouses and no puffer of tobacco." In Turkey, where the pipe Is now omni present, former sultans made smoking a crime, and offenders were punished by having their pipes thrust Into their noses, while In Russia a royal edict or dered the noses of the smokers to be cut off.

One of her notable sayings, containing purt of the secret of her success, is: "I never worry. Worrying is bad for a woman." Mrs. Green, Hetty Howland Robin sou before her marriage, inherited about $10,000,000 from her father and an aunt. At the age of thirty, about the time she was married, she began to Invest her money on her own account and control It herself. That was forty one years ago. Now her wealth Is va riously estimated at from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000. She has got this vast sum through shrewdness and an econ omy so strict that many people call It stinginess. However, Hetty Green and her Immense wealth are a solid proof of the possession of financial ubillty by women. Mrs. Green Is n native of New Bedford, Mass., and comes of Quaker ancestry. Chicago' Three Famous Spinsters.

A second spinster is Dr. Cornelia De Bey, a woman noted for her Intelligent nnd helpful Interest . Iu educational and sanitary matters In Chicago. The lake city's third fa- . inoiis spinster Is Jnne Addams of Hull ' House. Miss Addams and Miss De Bey , are members of the Chicago board of education, In which they are the re verse of deadheads.

Thus the teachers themselves help con trol the Chicago school policy. Marga ret Haley represents the teachers' un ion. Mite Moon's Magazine For the Blind In England a magazine of current literature in raised letters for the blind has been established by Miss Adelaide Moon. Hitherto the hapless blind folk have been shut out from general news nnd literature. Miss Moon's father, himself a bliud man, devised a raised alphabet for the sghtlpga. This hi daughter uses Iu her magazine, whic'i is published nt Brighton. Iu connec tion with her magazine Uio lady also conducts a shop iu which she prints books in the raised alphabet. The magazine has proved such a boon to the blind in Great Britain that It Is proposed to start a similar one in America. A Girl's Remarkable Swim, At Pelham Manor, on Long Island sound, lives Coreeu Vlolett. a noted girl swimmer, aged eighteen. She Is distinguished for her endurance In a long distance swim. One of her ac quaintances Is a young man named Denulson Hatch, likewise known as a swimmer. Tho young man and girl were both such water athletes that ut length some of Mr. Hatch's friends de cided there ought to be a swimming match arranged between them. Mr. Hatch was quite willing, but the young lady hesitated a considerable time. At length, however, she was nagged by the admirers of her rival Into making the trial. The swim was In Long Is land sound from the Westchester club to Great Neck, N. Y. The woman bent the man by several lengths, moving away from him by means of a long, slow, steady stroke. The tlmo occupied by the six mile swim was two hours and a quarter. MARCIA WirtlS CAMFBELL. THE SEASON'S FABRICS, New Sllkn, Velvet and Woolen I)re Gooda Now Dlsplnyed. It Is many years since sillui have had the prominence that is gives them '.' is season. While woolen fabrics ere r:..t urally the accepted materials for every day wear, and some of them will be worn even at very swell functions all depending upon tho way they are made and trimmed the best dresses for nil occasions where handsome effects are desired will be made of the new and superb silks. I knew when I saw the determined efforts of the French dress makers toward the adopt Inn of the em pire modes that heavy silks would be come necessary, and now we have them, after more thau fifteen years of fiinisy and fragile silks, and we have them now for sure and certain. Among the newest of the silks we find taffeta In all the season's colors nnd in various weights to suit the de mands of nil, but there are also solid and lustrous fabrics to till the heart with full satisfaction. The thick and rich pompadour silks in nil their lovely colors are seen, as well as heavy bio cades. I noticed several different de signs of the cheue silks in their soft and delightfully vague patterns of flow ers which seem to melt into the ground work like snow crystals on the win dow sill. There are ribbons to match, some being sash width and some nar row fur hat trimming and fur all sorts of things made by the skilled fingers of the dressmakers In the shape of ro settes, quillings nnd ruffles. These silks lire American, and Amer ican women should ask for them, par ticularly when they are so handsome nnd new. The old Bonnet silk In lus trous but not shining black Is seen again In many of the most elegant ol' the new gowns, and they are garnished with rich lace, silk embroidery, silk castle braid and fine jet wrought In the lace or braid by band. Tills makes a trimming that shows Its value from afar without being garish or overdone. There are several weights and ail colors In satin, which has been little worn for many years. Satin has the effect of making one appear slender, and, slenderness being fashionable now, It is going to be p -miliar. Much Lyons velvet will lie worn In gowns and wraps, principally in black, but the velutlna and velutlna cords which are produced In all the season's colors will take a well deserved place among the rich and beautiful fabrics for late autumn and winter wear. The plain velutlna is of a close pile, very solid, and, being mercerized, It Is as rich In appearance as the heaviest Lyons silk velvet, which Is prohibitive In price for all but the wealthy. Tills velutlna BUOWN CHIFFON VEM TIJ. A COSTUMK. wears better than any of the cheaper grades of silk velvet, and. belli.; very reas mnble In price, we can all enjoy the delightful sensation of an elegant gown or suit. The corded velutlna is best suited for entire costumes and makes Ideal visiting gowns. It will take any kind of trimming, but re quires very little. In tho best new woolens from abroad we have rather lighter weights, but no less line and desirable g kmIs. They are so fine that one must look closely to note the design. There are pebble and sable surfaces, some of these having an over design of herringbone stripe showing In some lights only, but full of surpr'ses as it folds. Another de sign has narrow stripes of satin sur face between plain sable or "sanded" weave. Tills, like the entirely plain sable. Is the gentlewoman's choice. Still another bns the sabled foundation with tiny basket squares along the sur face. The object seems to be to ob tain the most unobtrusive and refined design possible, and with these almost Invisible zigzags and stripes the manu facturers have done It There are lines of different weights of plain Iron frame grenadine or voile In the finest Australian wool, some closely woven and others as coarse as Sieves. These, are to be made up over a very lustrous taffeta, satin or ..col ored silk. The effect is beautiful whether over black or colors. Among the novelties we find chiffon broadcloth, chiffon cloth, messaline, chiffon velutlna mid chiffon velutlna cord for entire costumes In chiffon weight nnd chevreau finish. These are black and colored and are very beauti ful to look upon. The illustration shows a chiffon velutlna In brown, with tan silk revers ond narrow sou tache braid. The straps on the skirt are of tbe velutlna.

RHEUMATISM BADLY CRIPPLES A BALDWINS VILLB PARMER URIC-O QUICKLY CURED HIM : Mr. Frank Howe, n prominent farmer ol the Town of Van Jiuren, says: "During a siege of the most painful form of Rheumatism, which lasted two yeurs, I did everything that was possi ble with the aid of money to find re lief. I spent several hundred dollars, and seemed to grow worse instead of better each day. Being on crutches and forced to drive to the train and then hobbling to the doctor's office, be- ' came very discouraging, let alone the sleepless nights and fearful hours of pain. Heing advised by a friend to try Uric-O, 1 purchased a bottle and began its use as directed. In less than 24 hours these fearful sciatic pains left me, my blood seemed to let loose and flow freely, I felt different, and knew at once that I had fonnd a cure, as I s'ept and rested all that night, some thing I had not done before in two years. I used in all six bottles of Urio-O, and can truthfully say that I have never felt a return of the disease, and have had no use for crutches or cane since the first day's treatment. I invite all Rheumatics to write me and learn further truth concerning this wonderful remedy." Sl(ni FRANK nOWB. Baldwins ville, N. Y.f R. F. D.
