IT m VST a oy liters are avoided during the four months lacking R'n. ao aeaaide reeorta are dtfwrtrrt by roont of the faatiionable world by the mlddia of AukuhL Hoth are unwritten Uw, tbe result of mud e:xvi erifc. By the Mid of the month the moat ardotit lover of the in is glad to turn rr.otintalnward and rrjuk in the breath of fall which comes first to the hlhpr ulti tudtn. And with him rrjnlre the mountain hotfl keeper and the Importer nnxioim to Im kIu hl fall trade. Tho firat demand for fall styles and tex tures a.nea with theae mountain months of August, Sciitembrt and October. The laco summw liuta and berufUcd summer frocks seem out of lnce In an atmosphere exhila rated by tho tinge of the first frosts. What if tho sun is still high In the heavens and tho rJtlea in the plain lie sweltering In tho heatr Fall haa come to the mountains, and full atylia are paramount there. Th huta for mountain wear are notice ably simple. Mountain climbing mny mean scrambles through closely Interlaced copses of yung trees or through thorney black berry tangles. Airy, fairy millinery would be sadly out of place. Instead, there are tho Morn and duck outing hats, felt Alpine hats, and neat, turbans in rough straw ef fects. Many of them are vell-trlmntcd not, however, with the veils Hying In the wind, but lying- In a soft rolt around tho crown. Hllk acarrs make a favorite trimming. Sometimes they are covered with dotted veiling, and the effect la pretty. The pret tiest scarfs for these outing nata are of plaid villng or chiffon. They are Imported fabrics, and thereore expensive. But they nro ihnrmlng fur the girt who haa not to consider a slender purse. In dull orowna, interwoven with stripes of vivid scarlet, green and blue, they give a touoh of pliiuncy to the most somber costume. The fancy for bright blue, fabrics has exteiuia4 to the world of veiling, and blue veils iire seen on every side. The green veil that floated in the wind last a:;ao.i only appear to match soine particular cos tunic. "Veila made to order to match any cowtutne" is a common sign in fashionable millinery parlors. Simple fall turbam come as a leactlon BKulnut the flaring hiim.1 of sumrcertlxe. The Ktraw shapes will no doubt be w,rn until lute In the season, but felts are already appearing. A elite brown felt turban ha for Its trim ming areund the roiling brim two strands of lrowa and white braid, knotted at In terval, and finished at the back by white wlngH, wtuVh extend over the hair. Feulher aigrettes and wings will be frorly used en the fall walking hats. Oolf sweaters. Jurketa and vests are ideal for 'mouataln wear. If a girl stilt clings to her summer shirt waists, I hey will ward off cold when used In the early moin'ng and evening as au outer wrap. Fall sup plies of all three are already ou the coun ters of the sporting goods departments ef the great shops. The French gulf jackets wirh vllk sleeves will again be used. But the knitted and crocheted golf Jarkets, In bright greens and crimsons, are even m jre fashionable. The imported ones are ia the able pattern and bavo Umi .ueca slightly rounded out and finished by a croche'el band. They have no buttons, teliig In visibly honked down the front. Those of doauMlfc nuuiufacture have buttons a single or a double row down the front. In pearl or gilt. They also have standing collars, something like those on the sweat ers. The golf vesta are also crocheted in a basket weave. They are liberally adorned with buttons and have distracting vest pockets. They come in green, red, white and mixed stripes of white and lavender, red or green. Tkey are very pretty and can be worn to give weight to the linen coat suits. The red ones seem most suited to fall and mountain wear, for though the fad for red has waned during the hot months, the first breath of frost brings it back again. A mountain costume is hardly complete If it lacks some touch of this cheery color. Perhaps it Is given by the parasol, or rather the raln-and-shine umbrella. This Is most suitable for the mountains, for Frills of Fashion Jade Is one of the new greens. Mother of pearl embroidery and paaee nuuitcrles are ammtK the most popular trimmings for evening frocks. The autumn hats show a nedded lean ing toward high crowns and broad brims, and ostncli plumes both long and short promise to have great favor. Colored laces are being vigorously pushed by the manufactures and colored wool or fibre laces In maltese designs are upon many of Uie early model gowns. The butterflies that appear In "ao many things in I lie way of ornaments are charm ing in shell, and are mounted on long or medium length pins of shell. Many new fancy ribbons are being shown In rich snd effective colorings that sug gest autumn days. I'anne and astrakhan ribbons are particularly In evidence. Unless signs rail, furs will be excessively In demand during the coming ana-soti, snd ail the popular furs of last winter will hold their place. The pelerine will be tbe new feature lu furs, succeeding the stole, which Was lust year's fad. A charming hat in lavender tones Is of white lace, with the edge finished with folds M chiffon. Set upon the hat are ap plications of embroidery In pale lavender and a rhifloa veil in a delieate shade of lavender is draped around It. A quaint little flowered silk mull gown made over a white silk slip Is princess In effect, is fitted In st the waist line with mail tucks, set in perpendicularly, and running from two or three Inches below the waist to that distance above. Old-fashioned neckerchiefs in fine em brniaVered mulle or lawn are among tbe accessories that may be brought ready uutde. They are to be folded in surplice fashHMi snd, without the fussiness of the frilled fichu, are a quaint and welcome rhanave from tbe almost Inevitable cape collar. Tne Parisian woman Is wearing colored shoes in ail hues to match hrr frocks, or. In company with corresponding belts snd sunshades, to give a dash of color to a neutral rostume, but Americans, while ac cepting colored footwear, are more con servative. A quaint little automobile hat Is small, of while atiaw. trimmed with btue snd white checked ribbon. This Is carried around the crown and tifd In a bow in the front, forms the deep curtain at the hack, and ties urwUr the chin.

It is trimmed with a border in the same or a contrasting shade of narrow silk folds. The hint of red may come from the em broidered dot on the white linen string tie or belt Those washable tie sets are very dainty, and can be used with either a fall or summer costume. Since Worth has decided that leather belts in soft Buedes to match the costume are "correct," the mountain girl may prefer to wear a red leather belt. It will have a harness buckle, either of silver or covered with the red leather. The fall golf skirts show a tendency to be tight fitting, and, as they are worn over short, scant undersklrtings, they cling to the figure and have little flare around the bottom.

They are in tine batiste or lawn, buttonholed In scallops around the edge and embroidered by hand In delicate trail ing vines and garituids. Kmbrotdered in color they give a picturesque touch to an otherwise all-white frock. Mrs. Lewis Bears of Iluntsvilie. Mo., is not afraid of a mouse or even a snake un til the danger Is past. The other dny she reached up into the pantry and touched something cold and clammy. Climbing on a chair, site discovered a good-sised black snake asleep on a large platter. Mrs. Rears picked up the dish and threw tbe reptile out into tbe yard, where she killed It with a - broom handle. Then she screamed snd fainted. The strenuous life at Nev port has proven too much for some of the young women who endeavored to keep up with the giddy whirl. Hume of them began to show signs of being nearly "all in" and physicians who were consulted have ordered the wearied girls to quieter resorts. Newport life this summer has been too exacting for all but such as are of unusually good physique, Social dissipation enough for an entire winter being crowded Into a few weeks. Nowhere la the woman dm:tor more In evi dence than in Russia. Atrnng tbe wild arid scattered population of t1 :mmense coun try there Is an Inexh ii s title held for women as doctnra and tcacheis and it Is the knowledge of this fsct which has disarmed the opposition to their going through uni versities. In 1W7 Rusftts had 987 women doc tors and the number constantly increases. In this profession Russian women have made a distinguished name. They have enormous practices In the great towna and are largely -employed by tbe municipalities Miss Horace Smith, who died recently at Brighton, Kngland, had memories literary and otherwise which went back a very long way Indeed. She waa a remarkable link with the past. The Atheneum says ef her : "Her grandfather had bunted with Louis XV, her uncle had met Ir. Johnson and she herself wss probaMy the last perron living who remembered Keats, having seen, as a child, the poet in her father's garden at Fulham. Although she steadfastly de clined to he Interviewed or to put her recoi lectiona Into print, she waa famous among her friends for her store of anecdotes and animated flow of conversation. To her father, of 'Releeted Addresses' fitme, she owed her youthful acquaintance with many of the celebrities of tbe time and she In herited his warm frh-ndnhlp wirh Thack eray, with whose daughter.

The same effect Is often produced by the application of stitched bands, set on for tho whole part of the length of the gore seams. Fluids will have some use this fall, both for separate Fklrts und whole costumes. Yet the shot effects will be the most fash ionable. Brown mixtures and grny, green and black and white, will be tbe favorite combinations. As in other years, the first fall suits are strictly tailor, made affairs. They nre a re lief to the eye after the over-ornamentation of the summer frocks. The long skirt coats seem to have settled themselves for the winter, but they have lost even the pre tense of stole or shoulder cape. The scams are generally strapped in cornet fashion. They are single-breasted, with hip and breast pockets, and the "V" neck Is sharply pointed and finished with a narrow coat collar ef the material or velvet. The extremely plain, up-and-down effect Of these tailor made suits is not becoming to everyone, so that tho box-pleated coats, which fcult undeveloped figurca, will still be used. The latest of these have Immensely long skirt coats, extending almost to the hem of the skirt. They nre fastened down the front as far as the waist line by Bilk cord loopings over a double row of but tons. These buttons are a decidedly strik ing feature of the suit. A suit of gray-blue mixture has loopings of gray Bilk cord and cut silver buttons. The price of the buttons would exceed that of the material. A charming red coat, which would be Just the thing for coaching wear in the mountains Is loose and ex tends almost to tbe knee. It has triple shoulder capes faced with silk of exactly the same shade, and is fastened down tho front by looping of red silk cord over mosaic buttons. These latter are really beautiful, with a conventional design In green on a dull red back ground. HARRIKT 1IAWI.EY. D1 A sMn of beautg it a fortvtr. kR.T. FELIX GOURAUD'S ORIENTAL ' CREA.tl.
