Are Therejs extravagant fantasy In the new frock materials, and trlinmlngs; but here the subtle and ' intricate working out of the fantastic Ideas as a rule results In harmonies whose extravagance is percep tible only upon close examination.- On the whole the new materials are not loud. Many of the colors are vivid, but these are so handled that they avoid garlshness. Monotone effects in which variety Is ob tained by contrast of textures rather than CLOTH AND LACE COMBINATION. by contrast of color are much emphasized among the high class materials, and where there Is color contrasted It usually takes the form of a warm hue toned down by black or combined with harmonizing color In some softly blending or shadow mixture. The fancy broadcloths are important Illustrations of this last rule. Beautiful designs and colorings are shown In these materials, but the best of them are unob trusive shaddowy checks and stripes and plaids In which the colors melt almost Imperceptibly info one another and the effect viewed from a' distance Is often that of a plain one tone material. The deep purple and black, blue and black, and green And black cloths are particularly attractive and fancy cloths In which the design is obtained by clever shadings In . tones .of one color or well liked. One sees, too, tfrime fine colored broadcloths of the supplest textures striped with lines of black, the black stripes hav ing a satin finish and luster; and there are effective broadcloths In color barred Into Inch or two-inch checks by rather heavy lines of black. . . :- abatltnte for Olive OH.

THE EMANCIPATION OF WOMEN Klla Wheeler Wilcox Discusses the Improvement It Ifaa Mroaabt Aboat. Considering the fact that woman really has occupied a subservient position for thousands of years, and that law. tradi tion and custom have combined to keep her from her best development. It should not be a matter of surprise that so few of our sex prove themselves cspable of being as Interesting companions as men, says Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Nevertheless, there were never before so many intelligent, normal-minded, spiritu ally awakened, progreslsve and glorious) women in the world as today. Thera was a period when France con tained a remarkable constellation of bril liant women, women whose names will live as long as the world lasts, but those were bright, particular stars shining in a dark sky. Now the skies are filled with stars and new nebulae are forming continually. The dark, void spaces are smaller and smaller with each decade. We have no comets, no lesser suns bias ing in the heavens, no De Stael, Roland, Recamler, Sevlgne, perhaps, but we have a Milky Way filled with closely-packed stars of increasing power, and they shed more light on the world's ways than ever woman shed since the present cycle was formed. Never before were so many women de veloping the best In themselves, never be fore were so many women rising above petty Jealousies, envies and ambitions; never before were so many women filled with sympathy and understanding of one another and of humanity at large. Never was the sex making such effort to learn what real womanhood means, as In this era. Physical science and metaphysics ure working together to create a new body for woman; or rather to give her an un derstanding of what a glorious body Is hers by right, and how to keep It wholo while the spirit needs It as a temple. i The ailing and weakly women are de creasing rapidly. Read any novel of half a century ago and the heroine Is Invaria bly delicate, given to side aches and swoons. Novels reflect the manners and customs of the age in which they are written. - The weakly woman Is not the type today In fiction or In society. However many one may know in her particular circle, the sickly woman is becoming ashamed of her weakness, and she is on the wane. The next fifty years will place her on the list of antiquaries. DECORATIVE TABLE BASKETS Fowls In Kataral Coloring Afford Popular Deal am for Such Oiatmenti, Baskets of one sort and another, of simple or more or less ornamental character, have long been used for holding fruit on tables, but within the last few years there have come to be offered for such use baskets specially designed with a view to their decorative effect. Here, for Instance, Is a lifelike basket work turkey perched on a bssketwork pumpkin of proportionate dimensions, both turkey snd pumpkin finished in their nat ural colors, this turkey table basket being designed to stand on a Thanksgiving table. And here is a table basket in the form of a swan, life slxe and natural In appear ance, and graceful, and here Is a gorgeous table basket of fine work in the form and colorings of a peacock. There Is a table basket In the shape of a chicken, and here la one designed to adorn a patriotic table in the form of an eagle. Bometimes table baskets are made to order In special forms, as for banquets. One such basket was made in the form of a billiard table. Where such baskets are made specially it is necessary to give the order well in advance, for It must go to Europe to be filled, table baskets, like al most all other fancy baskets, being made In Germany. Besides being used for fruits table bas kets are sometimes used for flowers. They cost from SS to 126. WOULD HONOR JEAN GORDON Women. of New School for Orleaas Aalc Be Named Her. that The women of New Orleans are writing to the newspaper urging that a school house be named for Miss Jean Gordon, the woman factory Inspector of New Orleans, in recognition of her efforts In behalf of the children. Mlsa Gordon has recently had a controversy, in which she came out victorious, over the clause In the Louisiana constitution regulating the hours of women and children factory hands. The law limits them to ten hours a day, and specifies that one hour must be allowed each day for dinner. Miss Gordon held that the dinner hour should be deducted from the ten working hours, while Samuel L. Gllmore, attorney for the ! Textile Mills corporation contested the point, but Judge Ancoln upheld the woman factory Inspector. It was Mr.' Gllmore who drew up the amendment to the con stitution of Louisiana providing for women factory Inspectors. j AN AFTER-DINNER DELICACY Old-Fashioned Way of Preparing Mint Popolar la the Sonth. Sugared Mint Leaves Pick the leaves from stalks of fresh mint,, rinse them In I cold water, and wipe carefully with a soft j cloth. Boil a cup of sugar and half a cup ' of water, three or four minutes, counting j the time after the boiling actually begins. Do not stir after the sugar Is melted. Re move from the fire and cool a little, then take the leaves by the stem and dip them Into the syrup, covering every part, then draw each side over granulated sugar spread upon a plate. Lay the leaves on oiled paper lo become dry and Arm. Serve at the close of a dinner or luncheon. -erve Eshanstlan. The first thing to be done for a person suffering from nerve exhaustion Is to adopt a dietary and a '-.abit of life that will re build the nerve c-ills. The lost energy must j be gently and slowly "coaxed" back not throuch medicines, but through proper en ' vlrotuiirnt, prortr employment and proper ' fvud. Tlio dietary should be simple and nu tritious, abotihcllng In lettuce, parsley and the fresh green edllfles( In season. It Is un it t-essary to say that active stimulants should be entirely eschewed. TO REFINISH RUSTY LEATHER Dressing Mar He Applied that WJ1 Hratnn- It to Almost Orlg Innl Appearance. A ha of black russet leather need not be discarded even It It Is rusty and worn looking. A good coat of black or russet leather polish will retonc It If properly used. Get the best quality, and apply sev eral times In a smooth even coat. White or light tone bags may be quite success fully cleaned by gasoline, used, of course, with necessary precaution. If it Is applied with a soft cloth and evenly rubbed on, the leather need not look streaked. Belts may be treated in the same manner. NEW WEDDING CAKE BOXES Novelty Lies Chiefly In Ornamenta tion and Varlrf on in Shape and also. There are seversl novelties In wedd!ng cake boxes. Often the monogram of the bride In gold and silver or white In raised lettering appears on the top of the box. Heart-shaped boxes tied with white satin ribbon are pretty. Some boxes are oblong and the exact size of a slice of enke. A sprig of artificial orange blossoms snd buds fastened on the cover is attractive. The bw purs food law demands hon esty of label. Burnett's Vanilla is pure. DISTORTED SENSE OF HUMOR Some One Staffs Live Wire In Sewer Pipe, Flooding; the Conrt House. Some one with a distorted sense of humor or with wicked designs either oa the health of the court house employes or on the rec ords in the county clerk's office stuffed a long wire doubled several times in the sewer pipe leading from the closet on the second floor of the court house and threo overflows have resulted In the last week or two. The records In the vault of the county clerk's office had to be moved and the dripping of the water through the walls has put the office in an unsanitary condition. Thursday Superintendent Shoop made an Investigation and found the wire tightly wedged in the pipe. The sewer pipes are declared to be badly rusted and the stoppage caused a break which was almost disastrous to the contents of the vault In Mr. Haverly's office.

PROVIDE SIXTY-SIX HUNDRED thanae Involves Cost of Eleven Mil lion Dollars Over Five Thou sand Cars on the I nlon Paelfle. October 1 marked the end of the era of private Iln6 refrigerator cars on the Harri man railroads and the substitution of the company's own equipment for this class of traffic. Sixty-six hundred new refrig erator cars of the latest type had to be provided in order to effect this change. In volving an autlay of about 11,000,000. Over 5.000 ot the new rars have been delivered to the Union Pacific and will ' go Into service as rapidly as required. The need for more cars than the private lines could furnish for California fruit traffic, as well as objections made by shippers to private-car service, were the motives governing the Harriman manage ment in making the revolutionary change In service. Shipment of California oranges, lemons and grapefruit for the season now closing aggregate nearly 80.000 carloads. Decidu ous fruit shipments also have made a high record for the season. Developments of an all-the-year-round orange crop to meet the constant demand for this fruit has been carried out so successfully that now thera Is hardly a day In the year In which orange shipments are not made.

CLOSE CALL F0R THE CASH An Economical Domestic Arransie ment that Worked Well in a Crisis. Mr. Bergnmot had his life Insured In an organization that collected f s premiums m the form of monthly assessments. His assessment was $3 or $4, .and to make it "come easier," as lie said, he bought a small "fmtnUy savings bank" and pre sented It to his wife. "Now Belinda." he said, "as my Insur ance Is for your benefit, I want you to see that there is always money enough In this thing to pay my assessment when the time comes round. I'll drop a dime In It occasionally instead of buying a c'.sar, and you can do the same with any loose change that's left in the house pocketbook at tho close of each day. "Just you take the responsibility In your own hands, and perhaps you won't buy something from every peddler that comes to the house. To show you that I trust you with It, here's the key to the bank." Mrs. Bergnmot accepted the charge. The scheme appeared to work admirably. In coutil m white or drab. Hum 22 to 36. Price 93. drab coutil. Mom support sri to 36. Price, 93.

Mr. Bergamot took cut his bunch of ksyi and looked them over. "Vou're right, Belinda," he said. "1 thought I did but perhaps it is Just st well.
