Oh , would llin Rods the glftlo Rio us , *

This quotation Is a llltlo nnclant. porbnps ,
but It lilts into our mind qulto naturally
xvhenwu BOO hoiv some pooplotvalk. I won *
dor How many people ihoro nro wbo ever
give a thought to their st.vle of podcstriuti
locomotion.
Fashion's frown has lone forblcldon the
bablt of swinging the arms nnd yet , wbon wo
stop to lulnt ; of It , that Is the natural way to
help us walk. How very careful wo ere
when on amain street not to owing our arms.
T By keeping our mind upon thcso robolllous
inomburs wo do succeed in keeping thorn
till. But doii'i wu get awfully tired I Just
watch that Mvoll girl as she futicios herself
out of sight around -tho corner ou some un-
ttcqucntcd street ; down go the urms and
they swing naturally In unison with ibo
lou or extremities. Sno can walk fatter and
not bo half sotlrod us If the arms woroundor
surveillance.
Tbo limns uro llko the Rpokos of a wagon
Wheel trying to desuribo a circle.
it Is wonderfully amusing to r.oto tbo dlf-
fciont styles of gait In which BO many people -
plo carry tbcmsolvos. Tlicro Is the last unit ,
the Nlow gait , the graceful und tbo nwkwurd
Call , and two swinging on the guidon guto ,
whun It's not late und pa hns iono ; to ledge

that Is not the unto wo contomplatu. Wo
were spoaktng of tlio walking gait. There is
the tall man with the Ions stride anu Ibo

man wbo holds himself so very straight , as ,

two nro taken to ono long stride ot bis taller
brother. Wo often Wonder wbysomo people
wulk In a crooked line when on the street
and thus to mo In collision wltb some ono
who Is trying to kcop a "boo lino. " Uo some
ladles think It gntcotul to sway the form
trom sldo to sldo ; or do they novcr ulvo the
matter a tboughU The latter no doubt is
tbo fault , and tboy walk simply because they
nro going somewhere. Now that it Is no
longer tbo style to wear tight shoos ono can
balance moro easily upon the bill of the foot ,
which gives tlm nocuod clastic spring , nnci
the strength of tbo hcol Is not called Into
play us much as lu the bygone days , when
tbo'sboos were so short nnd tight that tbo
tons were hold us if In a vise.
The little mincing stop , ouco thought so
dejliablo. is rapidly going out. Too gliding
Hop is tbu ono to cultivate. It Is easier ana
so much moro graceful. As for the iirms , as
they scorn to DO Indispensable nrtlclos.it will
be necessary to cany them. To walk a lu
mbuo it Is correct to place the left arm
eUluibo , tbo hana rest I nir on the hip , and
If you uro wearing a diamond
kcop it In sight. Au imposing

It Is not necessary for u lady or gcntlomau
( o make an oxprois wauon of theinsolvos bv
euro l"B " number of bundles , for the whole
oppression of n pretty drew or nobby suit
may bo ruined by a big brown parcel or a
package done un In newspaper. When wo
moot a person carrying a largo bundle wo
curiously wonder "what Is In it. "
Memory takes us back lo childhood's days
and wo remember that horrid tin bucket iu
winch mother put up our school luncb , and
bow wo did lot dare lo ojuiiy rebel
ngulnsl carrying a rcspoctabla tin "pall. "
But oil I how wo did hale it , and what humil

hurrying along trying to hide It under our
clock ; and our foolish liUla hoatt dreading to
meet u fashlonublo friend.
Necessity nud good sense may oftimos
compel a lady or gentleman to carry an arm
ful , so it would bo unjust to Judge the man
by the DUndlo. But it is not food form to
curry a package , and , girls , if vou want to
look pretty you can't , do It. Keep In mind
the ofi-repeatod ndvloo , "thoulder.i thrown

Uocp stop with an escort , If you have one.
Hold up your bead , but no stargazing.
Don't try to loca o u "mnu in Mars" while

women wbo serve in stores and toll at mo-

It would scoin that this , among other

Verv strong efforts have been made to
bring that vorv handsome material , Irish
poplin , baok Into favor , and in these days of
roppcd and corded fabricsit Is Quito likely to
succeed.
Collars at the moment are of the low , turn
down variety or nonexistent nnd an arrange
ment of lace , chiffon or embroidered silk
muslin , llko a priest' * rabotappears , ou many
of the fashionable gowns.
Uropon , which has proved so popular a
material through the spring and summer , Is
prominent nmoncr the autumn goods. It Is
In , heavier weight than tbo summer cropon
and in some now designs.
A very handsome Venetian ooonworlt em
broidery in shaded silk of dura color and
bronze-gold , or copper metal cords will bo
used in the autumn for trimming cloth , cashmere -
moro und vlgogno drosses.
Tbo much derided solferlno and raaconta
shades come again to tbo fora after many
seasons of retirement , nnd rochristoncd the
"dahlia shades" they bid fair to rank umung
the highly favored dyes of autumn.
Small smocked skirts exactly llko a
countryman's smocit are worn by llttlo boys
ol 3 In short trousers. Thor are arranged
with n fullness , falling over thn waist belt ,
and have round , turned down collars.
Any slender woman who wishes to arrange
her dress skirt In paniorstvlo about her hips ,
or to wear draperies of loco or net from her
shoulders or her bolt , can do so with the
knowledge that her gown will bo strictly cm
fait.
fait.Fillets
Fillets and coronets of sine or velvet rib
bon are worn In the hair. The portion that
bands tbo hair Is n flat bias piece or is softly
braided. A smart little upstanding bow at
the top , n little to tbo left btdo , finishes this
bit of fancy head decoration.
The nowest'nbbon bolts fasten to the left
sldo.vitli a lift upstanding ribbon Dews. The
long waist buckle } heretofore used to clasp
bread sashes nro tow : placed diagonally , and
threaded through with turbo or moro rows
of mchwldo velvet or other ribbon.
Thcro is a revival of fancy for the full-
basqucd coat , that of the Louis XVI. typo.
It is sometimes fusbionod with a seam round
the waist , and tbo bisque cut like the gored
skirts , plaited or pothered beneath a belt ,
which Is of black sutin with appllquo of Jot.
Some ot the cotton gowns worn at tbo sum
mer resorts this season are marvels of doll-
cnto beauty. The India muslins , printed with
sbaoowy designs In pnla pink , mauve , nnd
tender green , are mttdo up over sheath skirts
of pink shot with greou , or lilac witti silver ,
otc.
Grenadine , cnuzo and barege are all fash-
lonaolu nnd effective summer materials The
Bouost of these grenadines bavo n small
raised rib on n clear ground In a different
color , and among the daintiest of these are
these with a cord ot while ou n cromo
giouud.
Tartans of all clans and tartans of none
will bo highly fashionable this fall. Slclrts
of these plaids will bo trimmed variously with
narrow bias frills , with bias pipings or folds ,
with deep reverse boms ot tho' goods , with
niches , or black velvet ribbon or black gimp
In rows.
A fact worth noting In connection with
this saaton's wools are that many of tbo
hanJsomcst arc imported from Germany.
The German chovlot nnd rep goods nro

A brown sailor hat shown by cno of the
fashlouaLlo huttors , nnd after received

A vary swell girl ourls her hair on silver
curling tongs that bavo handles after the

nnd will , If she can not no ono also to do It ,
polish It herself until it Is as bright as her

Smoking gowns are tbo latest nddttlon to
