NEW YORK , Nov. 11. The wheel ot fash
ion la slowly turning , but alioady we have
a new cut of skirt , Improvcme-nts In the
fitting of waist bisks , a revolution In capes I
to record and some lately Invented arrange
ments In color. The dressmakers say that
from now until the spring sewing begins
eklrts must nil measure four yards -and a
halt about the foot and every scrap of full
ness belongs at the back. There It Is
pinched In by n series of close , tight plalto ,
and no longer Is the front width cut nar
rowly at the top. In. place of the two front
scams running up Inside the hips two tiny
darts , about an ! mch end tlirce-fiuartcrs long ,
belong there and the scams far around to
tlie back , at least two Inches and a half to
the outside ot the hip line.
Fortunately there Is no castlron. . rule oblig
ing every woman In fashion's name to have
her skirt madw separate from Us foundation
( petticoat. Either method , that Is , the two
skirts' separate or the fom&itlon ono used
as a lining for the goods , Is cheerfully per
mitted , but the allowance of hair cloth In
every petticoat grows smaller and smaller
as tlriio goes on. In a sllk-llncd skirt only
four or live Inches ot It are used and because
all dresses , whether for house or street , are
made very long , a novel finish for skirt
edges has been recently Introduced. It Is a
jilp'ng of leather set on a band of braid ,
oaolty adjustable nnd guaranteed to keep any
dress from fraying at the foot.
Every spring and fall a few good nnd
pretty gowns are made with over draperies.
There seems to bo no promise that overskirts -
skirts will become universally worn yet n
while , but , as a variation on the system
at present practiced of braiding and ruflllD1 ; ,
n , pretty overdrcso or two is seen and worn
with pleasure. All those gowns showing
them at the fall openings had pointed ovcr-
dressts , long points , reaching to the tecs , as
Illustrated In the group of mourning cos
tumes given this week. Surh a drapery as
tliL > Is uscdi Indifferently on silk , grenad'ne
and the heaviest stuff suits. A novelty In
skirt building Is the use ot bright silk foum.
< Iatlon petticoats , separate from the goods
nnd all laid In deep accordion plaits.
No truly careful observer of fashions will
allow her dress walot to bo pouched all
about , back an well as front. The smirtest
basques have perfectly plain tucks , so far
as the laying on of the goods goes. Gathers
no longer are seen at the waist line , and
the front Is allowed to fall full , but without
an exaggerated drop.
SOME COLD WEATHER WRAPS.
The hitherto sober-sided golf cape Is nowi
the gayest garment in show windows , and
Its bravery ot plaids and fr'nges ' makes It
the desired of all women. Those that tn-
Bflro the greatest amount of envy show
Inside and out the meet -dazzling combina
tions of colors , their fronts have long straight
rovers turning back over the wearers' chests ,
held In place by rows of b'nj pearl buttons ,
and the rovers themselves heavily fringed.
Over the shoulders of every new cape falls
a long pointed hood of bright fringed plaid
end the lofty rolling collar Is finished with
fringe. These are the really truly Scotch
capss , made from Highlander's gaudy fringed
plaid ? , nnd the contagion of cross-barred
colors and woolen fringe has spread to the
pretty rough-weather coats.
Observing these last should give Ideas to
the women who have good dark cloth coats
left ever from other seasons and wish to alter
them In n style that will artfully bring them
Into harmony with the winter's fashions.
Tlin little jacket sketched shows how it can
too done. The model for thla Illustiatlon is
ot heavy , dark blue Vienna cloth and cut on
the most ccuventlonal model , but what gives
U charm and freshness Is the fringed hood
ot Ted , green and yellow plaid , falling en
the shoulders , and the touches oP plaid cloth
nt the belt , pockets , collar and sleeves.
Many women who can't afford new golf capes
lelato with prldo their clever expedient In
merely turning their old capes Insldo out ,
thus displaying their bright linings , acid then
by buying enough fringed ! plaid cloth to
mike new hoods the effect ot the newest
wrirw was gained without any extiavagance.
A word should bo said hero , however ,
apropos of fur capcn. Their form Is chang
ing by degrees and the style which the
furriers are following gives scope to those
who have old wraps to do over , or bits ot fur
they hope to economically work Into the form
ot a cape. The little- Illustration gives an
Idea ot the new form and shows that brevltv
ia tiow the soul of beauty. This cape Is
ir.ado from velvet and ornamented with nn
old fur cape. The velvet is sapphire blue and
iho lining Is rcno pink bengallno. Its collar
is ot light-colored fur. the best largo piece
out of the old cE'jo , while all the little disks
set on the velvet , are made of small goods
( bits of fur applied at Irregular Intervals
Out trom the front of the high collar falls
& tuft otcream lace and over the bust and
< Iown to the knees extend two stole ends of
volvpt , edged with lace. It Is worth while
taking note that both these schemes of dec-
orntlen are typical of the new calling wraps.
Almost without exception the small shoulder
pieces arc made of velvet Instead of fur.
They no lenger ripple about the shoulders ,
lint stand , two flat circles of unequal width.
Btralght out from the threat , their edges
wired to hold them In place and the collar
of fur or velvet rolling up high and close to
the chlii and ears. All the short fur shoulder
pieces of last winter's near aid doing iluij
ngaln , but this time with five-Inch deep
frills of accordion plaited sitln , of some rich
bright color , gathered onto the edge ot the
tiny capes ,
SENSllJLE MOURNING.
Every year common sense robs the heavy
mourning garb of ono more ot Its Injurious
features. Lcfa crepe decomltfl the toilets
for first mourning than ever , some of the
pretties' of the dcslnns for widows oven show
Jio crepe nt all and now the crepe bordered
net face veil Is to bu relinquished. In Its
place ono of philn black tulle , and that very
line , has been adopted , while , to balance
everything , the rear veil of hemstitched IUH
tcrless black liberty silk falls all but to
the floor. Alternating with the now liberty
Bilk bonnet veils nro equally pretty ones of a
dull finished black grenadine and n really
heautlful silk nuns veiling , the tdgo of
which Is cither hemstitched or completed
with a line of embroidery. For the bonnet
thcsa goods are adopted in preference to the
crepe , as owing to the fashionable length
ot tlio weeper only the llghtiut weight mate
rials ore serviceable ,
Widows' bonnets are still severely simple
In decoration , but their shape has changed
radically , at least for J-OUIIK women who are
bereaved of tholr life partners. They wear n
frame bent above the brow In a tiny peak ,
this being tilled In with white Hsse. Over the
Iwnnct'a top the veil only Is arranged in a
simple Bchemo ot plnlta and puffs , held by
dull-headed pins , and the Bomber setting of
the fuco Is relieved by crisp white imis'In
do sole , uwlss. or lusterlcFs whlto ribbon
strings , knotted In a small bow under one
car ,
Elderly widows cling to their straight swim
muslin cuffs ana collars , but younger womoti
appear after thu first month of mourning In
ciiffs and collars of white lace , laid flat
against their black wrist and neck bands ,
Or they wear swiss muslin ruffs nnd collars
shaped like those of older women , but with
narrow gophered edges.

A HOUSE DRESS ,
An K ex Mr a graceful mourning house
dress Is s'-cn this week as suitable for a
woman of any ago under BO. It Is cspcclilly
offered to show how dilntlly nnd effectively
crepe can still bo used If one believes in
clinging to the traditional emblem ot grief ,
llotli skirt and waist nro created from plain
black cashmere and trimmed with Inch wide
rudlea ot crepe set on the sltlrt In a cluster
band of three or five , placed very close to
gether. The wldo coll'ir ' and girdle nro
made from lusterless or mourning faille , and
about the collar nnd edging the side points
on the waist runs a double rufllo of crepo.
Muttons ) of dull Jet serve to fasten the wnlst ,
and a wldo sash , with loops of crepo. falls
at the rear ot the skirt. Into the open throat
left by the rolling silk collar fits a neck
pleco of plaited -white chiffon.
Halt mourning has cotno to ho broadly
Interpreted as meaning black with white , or
black jvlth lavender or mniivo. With laven
der Is the usual acceptation nowadays , and
an exemplification Is given In the suit of
winter wool not , made over u silk foundation
the color of a lavender orchid. I > avender
chirton fills the open front of the waist ,
through a buckle of Jet the neckband Is
drawn , and a wldo black peau do sole rib
bon sash forms the girdle , with side stream
ers. This. Is a suit designed for calling nnd
theater wear. In the chcertuller realms of
dress It is noticed this week tint with pale
blue a great deal of lilac Is combined on
evening bats , gowns , fancy waists and on
pretty morning wrappers. At the theater It
is impossible not to notice the predominance
of whlto tulle bonnet ? over all others , and
that every woman wears a fancy belt with
any gown she ploincs. The belts are made
of wldo Roman ribbon laid In three plaits ,
fastened In front with antique oxydlzed
buckles holding small cabouchon stones. At
tbo sides are narrow jewelled slides , and
at the back pointed hinges of silver.
Though of Imitation stones and metal these
belts > ire decidedly decorative , ami not at all
expensive. MDAVIS. .

The melancholy da > a have como when ,
gathering homeward from summer vacations
on the Inexpensive but healthful firm , search
begins for "help" In managing domestic
affairs.
Some small family may bo encouraged to
solve the problem In the manner found suc
cessful by two young women In New York
last winter.
They were sisters , ono a musician , the
other a teacher of physical culture and an
occasional writer ot magazine storlco. Tired
of the restrictions and Inconveniences of
boarding , they took a small flat , furnished it
prettily and settled down merrily to house
keeping. Rut they soon found that It was
not all play and decided to engage a tidy
llttlu maid.
Alas. It was more easily said than done1
After haunting employment offices for a week
without success , Helen , the elder sister ,
dropped Into the Young Women's Chrlstla i
association bureau. The secretary looked
around after entering her application and
beckoned to a. tall , < idlctly-gowncd , lady-
llko girl seated near , saying as the lattrr
approached : "I wish you would talk with
this young woman. Miss lllrd. "
"I should like a place In a small , nice
family , " said the applicant for work , "where
my sister nod I might earn our board. "
An hour or two later Helen Hlrd announced
to her sister Hope that she had engaged , not
cue , but two maids , ending with : "And they
are both studying elocution and English
literature. Ono is to bo a teacher and the
other a 'dramatic reader , ' or something , and
probably hopes to become a great actress
some time. They have only just enough
mccioy to pay for their tuition in N'ew York
znd must work for their board. It Is all just
like a MTS. A. D. T. Whitney book ! Isn't I'
tun ? "
Hope , more conventional , only answered
with fine scorn : "O , yes , great fun ! Shan't
we enjoy having them drum on the piano
while the cooking Is going on and olpcutln
in the kitchen when wo are entertaining our
Molds In the drawing room and that sort
of thing ? Helen Bird , you are the most
Impractical girl , in some respects , that ever
had a hem ] fcr business. "
THE WAY THE SCHEME WORKED.
However , the venture was settled upon ,
mil the day following1 the housemaid sisters
appeared ; both were ruddy , well educated
girls , with levr suggestions of rusticity In
appearance or manner , and oven Hope was
appeased , and remarked to Helen : "I really
think they might come to the table with us ;
they seem so well bred. "
How the venture succeeded may be briefly
told.
told.The
The "elocutionary sisters , " as Hope had
named them , did the work of the small flat
with ease , as they brought to their labors
not merely eager and grateful Intereist , but
keen and trained Intelligence.
Rising at C o'clock , one sister mnde the
Ilro nnd profared the simple breakfast of
oatmeal , eggs and coffee , sometimes adding
fresh hot bre-ads. Meanwhile the other
young woman Crushed and dusted the dining
room and drawing room before- the breakfast

women proprietors dined at fl:3 : ( ) , 'Emma and
Ada joining them , except when , there were
guest ? , on which occasion Ada , the youngest ,
donned a fresh whlto apron and pretty cap ,
making a most picturesque waiting maid ,
while Kmina remained In the kitchen to
prepare the simple but sufficient courses.
After dinner , when the tnblo was cleared
anl dining room and kitchen restored to
Immaculate neatness , the country maids tool ;
their books to 'tho ' dining room and studied
until bed time. '
TUB GENERAL RESyLT.
During the season the country house maids
bought dollar seats for the principal per

way the lost time was redeemed by rising
at C o'clock the next morning , which was no
great hardship for country-bred girls. Time
for the necessary sowing was gained in the

Early In June came the end of the venture ,
and the feeling that prevailed oppressed Itself
on the day of Emma's nnd Ada's departure
for their home. They had finished their
course with credit and oven distinction , as
Emma , the elder , was valedictorian of her
class and Ada's oration received a prize.
The la&t day had come and the trunks were
packed.

the little dining room , and , naturally enough ,

the doorway. "And we simply could not
have accomplished It with any other variety
of maids , " she exclaimed , bilghtly , "There
has never been a moment of obtruslvencsa
or IntruBlvoness on your part. You have
done what you undertook to do In an Intel
ligent , self-respecting way , and have been
complete demonstrations ot the possibility
of co-operative home-keeping. For my part
f nm heartbroken to lose you ! "
"Try It again , plesse , Miss Helen , " said
Emma , softly. "Give some other girl a
chance to ho a part of a real home , ai thla

not need to be an ignorant drudge in order
to do housework , and thnt mal'ds may attend
to their duties with absolute faithfulness ,
and Ktlll have lelsuro for thought and read-
Ing. Don't forget It , dear Miss Helen ! "
And Helen answered energetically : "I will
not. Henceforth I shall look for young
women of trained Intelligence for my domes
tic service , and It shall not bo my fault If
wo do not repeat' this most successful
venture. "

The proper darning ot a rent In cloth Is an
art that cannot bo easily picked up and
should bo taught to girls as an essDntlal
homo training. The
pJrt of their practical
export darner of woolen -cloth will make a
rent practically Invisible byweaving to
gether torn edges , matching them as care
fully as possible , nnd afterward pressing the
rent. A fine sowing silk Is used to darn
woolen cloth In preferento to any wool ,
which would not tie strong enough unless the
tlucail or ravelling ivas too coarse Where
thu cloth Is thick enough , endeavor to conceal -
coal the silk thread 'between ' the face and
back of the cloth. 'Begin ' about half an Inch
from the edge of one nltle of the tear , and
run the needle the same distance from the
other edge , concealing the thread carefully
and drawing the edges closely together , but
not BO that they overlap. If there is any
nap on the cloth > bunh It back while you
are Jari'lng and then brush It down again.
Lay a damp cotton cloth on the wrong side
o ! the cloth , ever the < Urn , and press It
down once , then remove the cotton cloth and
press next the woolen surface , being careful
that you do not 'presa 'It perfectly dry , hut
thnt a very little steam arises after the
Iron Is removed. Jf the cloth la < presscd
perfectly Uiy the work of the Iron will bo
shown on the right side. Apleee ot cloth
la usually darned with vertical and diagonal
stitches , running with the threads of the
" " thread Is usually
cloth. The "up-and-down"
; ho strongest , way of mending a bias darn.
Use no pleco of cloth under the darning
unless the material darned Is thin In that
case a piece of silk ot the same color Is lecn
clumsy as a'backing to darn the wool , unless
: ho wool Is sheer.
Tablecloths generally wear out first In the
folde , It Is true that these are not always
made In tbq f&mo place , even 'by ' the earno
sundress , but they generally are , and there
Is Invariably olie In the center. By cutting
off a few Inches from one end and ono sldo ,
all the folds will bo allered , thus giving
.ho cloth a fresh start.

lavish hand nnd was a lender In the Mar 'i- '
