There seems to exist an impression
among the manufacturers and the tai
lors that die autumn ia to be earl j and
sold and that snow may he expected
long hef ore ThanksgiTing. At least this
ia eo if one may judge from the heary
materials -which are already being
Aovin lor the autumn frsffnng Tweeds
and cheviots and homespuns will be
worn in business and morning sni tings.
There is little variation in the colors,
gray mixtures leading and bruvvn close
ly following. The rough blue cheviots
which were quite popular rhia summer
make capital autumn sack suits and
with light overcoats will be worn well
into the winter.
The double breasted reefers of fois
material and in the same color in the
smooth goods are yet very fashionable.
They are dressy,, and on P"H and tfitn
men are quite sightly, but they accentu
ate stoutness and smallness of stature.
All sack suits otherwise will be made
single breasted. Men returning from
England seem to have tnlrpn to checks,
and there is a disposition to make them
popular this autumn. A very smart
sait, fresh from a London tailor, was of
dark gray burning to drab homespun
with the chock bar black. The "Fnglfcfr
still cling to the morning or cutaway
coat in all rough materials, but this one
was a sack, just slightly cutaway at
the bottom. In this country it would be
called a three button sack cutaway.
There are many cutaway suits in rough
goods for morning and business wear,
but they can only be worn by the tall
man, who seems to have the preference
in tailors' models. But short men have
their innings in the striped cheviots
and the dark materials with a white
stripe pattern which were so much seen
this summer, and which will be repro
duced in heavier cloths. Before dismiss
ing this branch of the subject it would
be well to give the measurements of the
American tailors in regard to the cut
away business coats. The waist length
is put at 19 and the full length at 83
inches. Double- breasted fancy waist
coats will be much the fashion,espe
cially with men who can wear these
long waisted cutaways. Trousers are
cut this year so as to taper a little more,
but neither too tight nor too loose, at
the bottom about 172 inches and at
the knee about 19.
The English frock coat is made with
silk facings and flat braiding, it is
rather loose, but not too leoee, and
reaches quite down to the bend of the
knee. The skirts are close fitting and
the material a dull vicuna It is. of
course, double breamed. The American
is a little freer than the "English, bat
about the same proportions. The coat
lias a long collar, two inches wide at
the ends, and peaked lapels. There is a
silk roll faced to the buttonholes. Trou
sers to be worn with frock coats are of
cashmeres or worsteds, in narrow striped
patterns on dark grounds Waistecati?
with frock coats will be double breast
ed, any number of thoso in fancy silks
being popular
In evening dress there is some inno
vation. The shawl collar ovening coat
is again being advocated Ly the tailors.
In England it is called the roll collar,
and the collar itself and the lapel roil
to the wait are covered with heavy
twilled silk or pcau de -soie The
American coats have a waist length of
18 and a full length of from 37 to 3S
inches. In London Lord Rosebery re
cently appeared in one of these peaked
lapel coats, with the silk facings brought
out to tho extreme I'dge, The skirts
wero very long, and the garment wa
lined with heavy silk The double
breasted white marseilles waistccat is
much worn with evening dress, and
military ideas being greatly in favor the
last-evening trousers from London have
two lines of braid down the sides.
In overcoats the English covert has
become shorter than over It should
be but four inches longer than a sack
coat and should never be worn over a
frock. The material is waterproof.
There are double rowB of stitching,
-prea as many as six of these, on the
puffs. There is no breast pocket, and in
fact this is lwnished now from all prop
erly made coats of any description. TLe
collar is of the same material as the
coat, but silk faced to the lapels. The
double breasted Chesterfield overcoat
reaches to about the calf of the leg.
In many of the outing suits the
knicker breeches are made of different
material from the coat and waistcoat
Leather leggings are much in favor
They -button down the center of the
leg. Brown is the hue most prevalent
in" 'these. The box cloth is banished
from theaknickers, the leggings coming
upTiver the knee
During the early weeks of autumn
'runny, of the haberdashers are having
bargain sales of shirts. As the linen
olpreH, the -pinks and the blues with
theciarrow cuff will be. in fashion in
thegamntry and nearly everywhere un
-til very late in the winter, this is really
the time to invest. In evening shires,
two and three buttons, with a revival
.pf the three, will still be in fashion
neckwear will as yet be little changed.
The turndown collars and butterfly
bow have been more worn this past
Hummer than ever, and they will con
tinue until snow falls. The dark colored J
silks with small white figures are the
favorite materials for ties. The derby

"Did you ever have a mother?" asked
Mrs. Hazeltine gently.
The burglar made no answer.
"She would be about my age, and her
hair would be as white as mine, ' con

"Yes."
"Is she alive or dead?" asked. Mrs.
Hazeltine in her low, frail voice.
The burglar turned white. "Dead,

After the burglar's eyes filled with

"Yes," he answered, and they de

HOW AMERICA AND AMERICANSARE
PICTURED PARISIAN PAPERS.
Distorted Views ef Uncle Sam aad Hi
Psysple- Fcr Which French ocmals Are
Kta5ponsIiI Caaada 3eat!oned aa the
Birthplace of George- TVashlsstoa.
A short time ago a young American
came to Paris for the first time. After
spending a week loitering up and down
the grand boulevards and the Rue ds
Rivoli in the wake of his compatriots,
he conceived the idea that he would
like to know something of therealParis
and of real French life and particularly
to become acquainted with the French
idea of things in generaL He was ad
vised by a Frenchman that the most ex
peditious route to this knowledge was
through the columns of a certain Paris
paper, La Petit Paris! en. "That,"
said he, "is the paper of the French
bourgeoisie. It reflects France. It has
a circulation of 800,000 copies a day.
It h?ig no politics. It is very conservative-
Its foreign news is good and trust
worthy, which you will like. Jearl
Frollo, its chief editorial writer, is a
very learned tnrrn and makes a specialty
of things American. Read Le Parisi
en; you'll like it, and you'll be sura
that you're getting real French views. "
"The young man began to read Le Petit
Parisien religiously. As the French
man had said, it had a good deal of
foreign news.
Iu the first fortnight's reading of Le
Petit Parisian's editorial articles the
young American came across some pe
culiarities in the way of foreign news,
which he marked, with a note of the
article in which they occcurred. With
the parts from Le Parisien in quota
tion marks they -were as follows:
Leader on relations of Canada and
France: "Canada is indeed a great
country, and it may well be proud of
having been the birthplace of the patri
ot George Washington. "
Leader on review of troops in Rus-
who sat down to the luncheon was the f Syracuse shoulrt be allowed to bum tm
mr,n,nnor in nMf of th hindered investigated the matter and
American army, General Nelson. "
Leader on American progress: "But.
of
course, ono must remember trat
the people of the United States are in
great numbers but half civilized. Only
a small proportion of them know how
to nnul and write, and it is merely the
great sordid power of making money, "
etc.
Among his other "finds" in Le Petit j
Pari3ien during this fortnight was one j
in the novel which is running as a feu-
nietcn. The scene of the first few chap- j
ters is laid in America, in the neigh- j
borhood of the city of New York. The j
heroine lives at a "chateau" 20 miles j
from the Battery. One afternoon she :
desires to go out for a walk, but, to use j
the words of the author, "she feared to '
do so on account of the Indians, reports i
of whose depredations had lately come
to her ears."
The young American, always learn
ing now things, finally came across a
two column editorial entitled "Tho
Americans at Home." It opened with
the words, "The Americans have a co
lossal facetiousness. "
Farther along in the same article
there was an estimate of the "country
men of Clara Ward" conceived as fol
lows: "That native audacity which from
the cradle prevents them from ever
doubting themselves; that absence of
discretion concerning matters which bar
the way to their caprices; that disdain
of prejudices, of etiquette, of justice, of
common sense, .together witn tne unex-:
pectedness, the disjoin tedness and the i
grandiosity of their ideas, really go fur-!
ther to make up the strength of Ameri- .
cans than the accumulation of their dol
lars. They adore money, they love
above all to pile it up as enormously as
possible, but they do not hesitate to
throw it out of the window to satisfy a
caprice or to dazzle the spectator. Of
an unconscionable 'humbugisme,' em
ploying every means in their power to
succeed, audacity as well as duplicity,
robbing others without shame, they
precipitate themselves headlong upon
fortune, violate her and choke her if
she offers resistance. "
After this Le Petit Parisien added
naively: "But it is unnecessary to paint
the milliardaires of New York, of Bos
ton, of Philadelphia, of Chicago, cf
San Francisco further; we have done it
a hundred times. ' Then it stated grave
ly that Mr. Jav Gould was first the
"Eingof Gold," then Mr. Vanderbilt,
but that now it is Mr. Bradley Martin.
A few paragraphs further along the
young American read:
'Thc second of these milliardaires,
who will possibly be the first tomorrow,
Sir William Astor, a renowned sports
man who has nothing more to learn of
athletic games, went a few days ago, as
is his habit each week, to run the ex
press train from the Grand Central of
Illinois. Mounted upon the locomotive
in the place of the usual engineer he
took extreme pleasure in running the
train against time. . Several of his col
leagues of the New York club, where
one may be admitted only npon condi
tion of having a fortune of ?5U,Q0Q,Q0O,
have sought fit to dispute the record he
made, however. ThusM. Qeorge Gould,
son of the railway king, has good reason
to challenge him for a race, if he will,
because he has had much practice in
this sort of thing from the fact that ev
ery week he takes his friends out in a
pleasure train which he runs himself. "
Theyoung man, having had his fill of
this sort of information, went to the
Frenchman who had advised him to read
Le- Petit Parisien.
'Would you," he said, "be inclined
to believe the statements you might
read, in jhat paper?"
Certainly," said the Frenchman,
without hesitation. "I have told you
that " its leader writers are among the
best informed men in Paris, which, of
course, meana France." New York

MICE IN DEMAND.

Toy "Mtvc-hiwew.
Not a little attention has been at
tracted recently by the advertisement
of a Westfield CMass.) firm offering 5
cents each, for live mice- in any quanti
ty. So badly are the mice wanted by
the concern that the offer was soon, aft
erward raised to 10 cents for each and
every live mouse delivered.
Some weeks ago a shoe dealer ar
ranged In his window cn exhibition of
live mice and a teeter beard. A mouse
running up the little board would in
cline it in the opposite direction; and as
the lively little creatures scampered
back and forth oyer the board it would
be almost continuously teetering.
The show attracted much attention,
and ether inventive minds saw its possi
bilities as an advertising scheme and
improved on it by replacing the teeter
board by an inclined disk which rotat
ed rapidly when the mice ran over its
surface. From the disk was evolved a
hat or umbrella teetotum. This is the
most advanced stage.
A toy company quietly saw its pos
sibilities and arranged to put the thing-
on the market. An agent with a sample
case of the attractions was sent to the
larze cities of the. central and middle
states, and he had but to show it to
make a sale on the spot.
The company now has orders far be
yond its powers to 11, the chief cause
of delay being the scarcity of mice.
