which are avnllablo lu great variety, end
silk bands and heavy laces. Some of the
latter are especially rich, yot may npp.tr
on tho simpler suits. In to-duy's first
picture, for Instanco, Is a shirt waist suit
of tan ctamlno trimmed as Indicated with
heavy cream loco lu medallion and Insot
pieces. As to colors In theso stuffs, deli
cate shades aro favored for all nsos,
grays, blues, tans, greens and reds In
light tints prevailing. Black Is used
much, too, but to be Btyllsh should be
Tory freely trimmed. Black and white
or deep ecru laco is correct garniture
for It Jaunty ctons aro used for skirt
and Jacket costumes, a light silk or vel
vet bodice coming underneath. Black
moire Jackets are worn over the shirt
waist suits, and so are many loose short
and three-quarter coats.
The coats Just mentioned never were

ent there a almost a sort for everybody
with money enough to purchase these
costly advance styles. Later the more at
tractive of the designs now shown will
be copied extensively and cheaply. Homo
will prove not worth copying becanse of
undue oddity, for tnat cnaracteristlc Is
present In the current showing In marked
degree. All manner of fabrics and trim
mings enter Into these coaU. Black moire
and taffeta stlka are much used for short
coat that come below the waist line. Un
like those of last year none is semi-fitting,
all banging loose at back and front.
Some are box-pleated and finished with
bandsome cape or shawl collars. Others
re plainer, showing pJplag of fancy
braid, silk or cord. Dark doth are atyl

are u?1, white' nnd oyster color being
chosen most often. Sleeves are very largo
and drooping. If the bishop sleeve is
used, the puff, Is extremely large and usu
ally finished at the wrist 'with an odd
shaped cuff. Belle sleeves are larger
around, sometimes are finished with
bauds of silk, velvet, braid or passemen
terie, and again have one, two or three
ruffles of the goods. Skeleton finish nt
the throat Is seen now and then. French
dots and velvet dots ornament not a few
coats. Black velvet Is combined with
lace, net or silk braid. Crepe dc chine
coats are appllqucd with lace or silk
medallions outlined with black silk or
contrasting colored cord. Molro In nil
shades Is made up In short and three
quarter loose coats. Ribbon both lu vel
vet and silk trims many of these gar
ments. A few coats aro belted In, but
these usually arc on the Louis order. Two
odd coats were pkotched by the artist, a
gray moire sprinkled with black velvet
wafers, and an oyster colored broadcloth.
The first was pleated all around and piped
nnd trimmed with bright grven velvet.
The other was stitched In white and fin
ished with narrow red soutache. A doien
garments n novel and as stylish ns these
can be located In any extensive shopping
trip.
Velvet gowns'nre more numerous thnn,
In recent showings at this senson. Prais
ed velvet, the new name for this year's
new developmentf of mirror velvets, Is
pretty, In solid colors, striped ami flower
ed designs, and makes lovely suits und
coats. Pressed velvet .Is seen, too, In
hnppy combination With hnndsome silk
or cloth. White velvet gowns for even
ing usually are rather simply trimmed.
Moire velvet is a new weave that makes
up prettily for costumes and coats. Heavy
laces, fancy passementeries and embroid
eries trim It. Velvets are trimmed more
freely than in recent seasons, white being
the only exception- to this rule, and black
and dark shades coming In for amounts of
trimming that surprise for quantity and
richness. The black velvet of the next
picture, with Its wido rows and vest
pieces of gold embroidery and its white
molro In yoke and inner sleeves, was an
example. Across the picture Is a type of
gown that Is especially stylish for after
noon receptions. It was black net over
white silk, with applique of pink chiffon
rose wrentha, and tucked white chiffon
yoke Inttlced with rose pink velvet rib
bon. Black laces are similarly used, nnd
either lace or net may be put over a
bright silk. Sometimes lace and net are
combined. Theso dresses are richly ap-

pliqued with haudsome passementeries
and heavy ecru and cream laces.
Hairy materials are being more fanci
fully trimmed and put to dress use.
Heavy laces ornament many of them, and
wool embroideries are greatly liked for
heavy cloths and look well on them.
Crepe do chines and soft silk and wool
materials are beautifully embroidered In
wools of -various tints and put to the
most dressy use, and the former may be
lace trimmed after the most dellcato fash
inn, The central gown of the third of
these pictures was an example of this
last treatment. It was white crepe de
chine and cream point lace. Blouse coats
In one form '.or another are worn vitb

with straps, braiding, passementeries or

AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Mrs, Mottle Redmond Tells of Her Visit
1 . Visit to St. Paul.
To tho Editor of Tho Now Ago:
Hnvlnir promised to glvo you an nc
count of my trip to St. Paul nnd Mln
nennolls I will comply. I loft Port
land nt 7:2fi a. m. on tho Northern Pa
cific, arrived at tho beautiful city of
Tncoma nt 3 p. m. nnd spont ono hour
nlcht-seelng, found It to bo a vorv
hilly city ro did not pot to bco much
of It, leaving thcro my bourn of day
Hrht woro taken up in vlowluc thn
different irrnntl nnd wonderful bits, of
nronory that pnBBPd as n panorama
nlmost continuously. It would tnkh
too much Bnnco to mention onch of
theso Interesting Bights so I will men
tion only a few of tho most striking
ones. Lnko Pontrnln. a great fishing
resort, tho wonderful sights pnsslng
through tho Rocky mountains, tho
grand Union Donot nt Livingstone
Mont., built wholly of stono. At Lllv
Ingstono wo woro fnvorod with tho
'sight of a grnnt number of Indians
dressed In their ptcturcsnun costumes
Belling various articles that they had
manufactured. The "Bad Lands"'
wero next to attract our attention,
nothing can bo rnUod thoro a vor
liable desert. After threo dnys nnd
nlghts'of continuous trnvollnir wo nr-
Tlvod nt tho boautlful city of Minneap
olis nt p. m. on a very warm day, nnd
stonjQod. nt .Mm. Job. Cunningham's
resldonco, 1832 South Avo.. 5th. Af
ter a good nlght'a rest I started to
view tho sights. I was favorably Im
pressed with tho gonoral nnpenranco
of tho town, bo nicely laid out, tho
streets kept In such a cleanly condi
tion, ho mnsslvo buslnesR blocks, tho
oloerant court houso, beautiful parks,
excellent eystom of streot car servlco.
tho largo number of colored peoplo
that own their own homes nnd nro
engaged In lucratlvo business, was a
plensinfr sight. I soon found that I
had mado no mlstnko in Idontlfvlng
myself with tho Housohohl of Ruth,
for ns soon ns tho members of tho
order learned of my prosonco they
made my stay n continuous round of
pleasure nnd gnlcty. Amnncst thnso
prominent In tho order I .may montlnn
Mrs. W. W. Mills, of St. Paul, P. M.
N. O.: Mrs. A. Banham. of Minneapo
lis, M. N. O.: MVs. Winn, of St. Paul.
R. N. O,: Mrs. Williams, W. R., nnd
Mrs, Harper, Trcns,. both of Minneap
olis. In company with several frlondn
I visited tho city of St. Paul, which
city.. I must say. did not comparo fa
vorably with Minneapolis, either In
tho looks of tho streets, bIzo or stylo
of bulldlnas or In thn condition of tho
Inhabitants, The only striking feature
In St. .Paul was the capltol building,
which.' whilst not finished, bids fair
to bo a mngnlflcont structure.
Amongst tho old tlmo Partlandorii
that I met In St. Pnul I will mention
Mrs. Elliott, n sister of Mrs. W. H.
Hunter. Mrs. Bertha Wilson, Mr. Ooo.
Wills, Miss. Jennlo Logan nnd Mrs.
Leavett. nil of thego nro doing nicely
nnd speak highly of their old time
homo. In St. Paul I had the pleasure
of visiting tho cBtnbllsb.'neiit of 'rs,
Ella Covonton, who Is tho proprietor
of nn oloennt ladles' bathing pnrlor.
Sho has been In business for 1G years
and is doing well. As I must not en
croach too much on your valuable"
spam I will say In conclusion that
whilst each of theso cities contains
a largo number of colored people, I
om nblo to say that I could not see
thnt wo of tho Pacific const arc In
any respect behind that part of tho
country nnd In some respects we have
tho advantage, as waees nro better
and projudlco shown less hero than
there. Yours.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Jnck Maync, tho handsomo Jack
Marshall of Elsn Ryan's "Novnda"
company, which oponu for ono wook
at Cordray's thcator, beginning Sun
dny mntlneo nt 2:15, October 12, and
Saturday matlnco, is a musician of
mora than ordinary ability an(l at ono
period of his career essnyed tho rolo
of musical director of an opera com
pany. Tho company spent much of
Its tlmo in tho smaller cities nnd tho
Goddess of Fortuno had not given tho
organization n view of her lUnlllng
countenance nnd fair renown wns not
theirs by a long way. For a tlmo all
wont woll, for snlarles woro pnld with
a sufficient degree of regularity to al
low tho mombors of tho company to
poso In tho lobbies of thn best hotols
In tho towns they visited. Finally
howovor, a section of tho country wuh
oncountored whoro tho populaco did
not hunger for opera in any form lu
fnct thoy refused to taste of it at all,
Salary day wiu postponed from tlmo
to tlmo. tho players bocnioo dissatis
fied and It was n difficult mutter for
tho management to prevail upon thnm
to continue, Ono evonlnt; In n small
town In the West matters reachod a
crlfils. "Faust" was tjio bill for tho
ovenlng, and Mayno had assembled
tho orchestra to play tho beautiful
Gounod ovorturo. In tho mldf.t of It,
ho wns disturbed by someone pluck
ing his sleovo and whispering In his
ear, that If a certain sum of monoy
wns not forthcoming at once, thoro
would bo no Marguerlto at the spin
ning wheel that evening. It was tho
prima donna, making the public
throat, as tho people filed Into tho
theater. Mayno contlnuod to piny, at
tho sa.nio tlmo keeping up a running
fire of argument with tho excited fe
male. Sho remained obdurnto and al
most pulled him off his chair In her
efforts to exact n promise of hor back
snlarv out of that evening's receipts.
Finally Mayno, assuming his most
dignified air, said: "Madnmo, If you
havo no respect for mo, please have
some for Gounod." Tho prima donnu
was squelched, tho performance pro
ceeded and tho luck of tho organiza
tion changed for the better from that
night on.
