Anything that avers of the acothetlclsni or pose In drtBo Is , In these enlightened days , , and all thin offset by the more severe at tire of the men. ulille over all this Is the concentrated light of the chandelier , leav ing the rest of the room In shadow , makes a picture of unusual brilliancy. What man would prefer to go out for the ovenlng If such Inducements to remain at homo were ottered him ? Just here lies one of the greatest argu ments In behalf of the game , and ono which ransom many clergymen to give It tholr Indorsement. It helps many parents to solve the problem of how to keep their eons away from undesirable public places of amuse ment. Thorp are three Bl/csv of tables , 4'4x ! ) feet being the -popular size , 5x10 for professional play and 4xS for two In nniall rooms. The rooms should be ten feet longer and wider than the table to allow tree scope for the players. Cuts average llftseven Inches I2.BO , while th 'wMlto ' Is only 25 cents. BO cents and U per1 gr6s . There arc numerous email devices for use In the billiard room , among which ar # ' the clock , which marks the tlmo a plkyM * begin * nnd ends by ix scrlca of pegs McWg the rltn ; and the chalk holder , a metal clntp attached to a string from the celling , oiv a milly , holding ( securely the cue chalk.-n\lifcre It la handy for the players and uotp likely to be misplaced or carried away. Thpso Utter are , however , more for use In * jidbllc rooms than In pri vate houses. A clever device if or converting a pool table Into a billiard tablet Is an adjustable corner , which can be uerowed In place In lieu of the pocket. It will do for average players , but might not serve for an export game. However , where a man wants to enjoy both games at hemp , It Is very desirable. 'At ' present the majority of the tables are made In oak , but any kind of wood Is available. U should match the woodwork of the room where It Is to be placed. Mine Adfllna I'attl-Nlcollul had a magnificent table made for Cralg-y-Nos castle a few years ago , har monizing with the room In which It waste to stand , and Mrs. I'ottcr Palmer of Chicago also had ono made , In cabinet style , and cov ered with a dark red mahogany cloth to match the hangings ot the room. Green , however , l almost universally used , as it \a \ moro agreeable to the eyesight and the balls show up bptter against It. The best cloth for covering billiard tables Is the slmonls , manufactured In Vcrvlers , Helglum , but even this will not stand too hard wear and should bo renewed twice a year where bon , three Inches wide , nnUhcd at the end tvlth a slnfilo rose and cluater ot leaves. Another la of yellow chrysanthemums , with yellow ribbons ; \vhlle yet another Is made of large double poppies of every conceiv able shade of yellow and red , and has broad etrlnpn which are TfA , yellow or green , ac cording to the light In which It Is viewed. FEATHER FLOWKUS. ' The milliners assert that there \ \ 111 be an effort made to Introduce feather flowers Into ) next season's millinery , and already some of i these flow era are shown. They are , as a ' rule , delicate , yet vivid In color and very j . natural looking , but they do not wear so ' ! well ns those of nllk , velvet or muclln , nor | i are they so reasonable In price two very I i grave objections , the. dealers ay. against j j i their ever becoming generally popular. The I larger flowers are the handsomer , both In color and shape , and It Is believed will be much more used than the smaller varieties , 1 which. It appears , cannot be made BO as to lose their stiff appearance. In the manui facturo of the fringed chrysanthemums and i popples , eHtrlch feathers are used , and , while ' the effect Is very pleasing , they resembled 1 more bright-colored feather pompons than ' flowers. COUSAGE BOUQUETS. For corsage wear the newest flowers are made of the fiber of a Japanese- palm , and BO closely do they resemble the natural flower Mint It Is almost Impossible to dis tinguish them. Then they have the very deceptive quality of looking Just a wee bit wilted afler being handled or breathed upon GOING TO SCHOOIj. In distinctly bad lorui , nnd should mot be encouraged. For sweet 20 and thereabouts a few Impertinences ot this nature may be overlooked , but. If persisted in until more mature years It Is to be deplored as an evidence ot mental weakness and vanity gone to sepd. Jt would be an act of charity to prove to these mis-guided ones that old Father Time whaoks all such a trifle harder for their aesthetic posing.

What a mistake to suppose that a woman can't be conventional In drpss and still retain hpr individuality.

The "four bundled" of llavie , Mont. , have just boon figuring In a social function which will long bp rememberer ] . It was a bronrho. Inmtlni ; matrh. Not that there IB anything unusual In- this form of entertainment here , but on this occasion distinction was lent from the fact that It wno the women society leaders who bunted the bronchos. H was h very select affair , and. not only that , but the broncho-busting record was beaten by a wldo margin. There were six competitors In the contest all young women and nil natives of Mon tana. The bronchos chosen were- the pick of an villainous a crow of ponies as ever got together. There was not a vicious broncho trick that they did not know. BuckIng - Ing , kicking , rolling over they were past maiUero In all of It. There was not -rtn element lacking to make the entertainment spirited from the start. And it was. There was not a dull mo ment In It during all the three hours tl\at \ It laotod. Miss Nellie Sellosted was easily the cham pion ot the day , and Miss Jonnlo Avery came next. Mies Selected made 4 score of the entire six mounts ; Mlse Avery four out of n possible elx. Each contestant had her own group of admirers In the crowd , but the applause , noverthelo-B , was Impartial. Every good point made * was enthusiastically received , Irrespective ot Individual prefer ences. The betting wao lively throughout. When the bronchos pitched their riders skyward , as very frequently happened , bets were made while she was still In the air na to how and where she would land. Ono short and fat lady In particular was the cause of a great number of bets , and lots of nioncr changed luiuta during the tlmo she was In the ring. It was she who rode the broncho with the record of rolling over on people , and the odds at the outset wore about eight to two that she would be flattened out and made thinner than any uf her opponents. Ag the sport progress and as time after time she deftly rolled from under her vicious pony when bo dropped to the ground , the odds fell to oven money and then to two to ono In the fair rider's favor. These who put their money on her won. The riders wore a sort ot combination costume that might have been picked out of H job lot of mixed cowboys' and bicyclers' wardrobes. There was no nonsense about sidesaddles. During the few seconds of llmo in which they were on the bronchos' backs they rode n-straddlo. Several times the mix-ups wcro HO lively that there seemed an alarming possibility of the cos tumes being reduced to merely the high- heeled boots the riders wore. Out It did not happen. Sombreros and whips wcro lost during the melee , and the riders came out of it with their long hair whipping lu the wind and their clothes presenting the general appearance ot having been used as stieet sweepers , but there were no broken bones , no serious rents in garments and not even a scratch serious enough to leave a permanent blemish on n pretty face. Havre went bro'de Itself with hilarity the night after the event , The gin mills and the faro games gathered In the dollars with a scoop net , and even now the town has hardly recovered Its composure. Vfiiiliilup Fi The rope sleeve puff Is again a favorite on ovenlng bodices , rivaling the butterfly effects in popularity. Chiffon ruffles are now used extensively on dainty silk or woolen gowns , as well as organdies and other thin materials. As we enter upon the autumn season , red foulards aie becoming more fashionable than the blue patterns KO universally worn this summer. Another effective gown 1.9 ot black and white tulle , artfully puffed and finished with uhouldcr btraps of striped ribbon and a eaeh of the white tulle. A pretty skirt garniture consists of tiny runiea put on in elustors of three and ex tending either to the knee or to the waist , according to the height of the wearer. For fancy girdles satin and taffeta silk arc th favorite materials. They are made with points , either before or behind , or both , whllo dome are plain , fastening In front , just a llttlo to the left , with a largo upstand ing bow. It Is being announced that all garments for the fall trade are being modeled for figures wearing the new sbapo corset. This cor set has a low bust , and the Increase- size just above and below the waist makes the latter appear smaller than It really Is. Dotted muslin la once more all the rage and the favorite trimming for simple morn ing gowne of this material le Tom Thumb ilbbon or ribbon velvet sewed flat on to tiny frills of the muslin. Some of the autumn evening dresses of transparent textiles have the entire front ami bides of the hklrt formed of lengthwise iown of ribbon , giving a striped effect to the ma terial. Many of the new blouses , besides having the usual glove-fitting lining , are made with llttpd side forms , whose seams show on the outside of the garment. These nre a do- cldcd advantage to women at all Inclined to sstoulmcps. Cornflower blue , with black ehantllly , Is a ) retty combination.
