Many years ago James T. Fields was
making a collection of the writings of
De Qulncey. The essays were widely
scuttered in various periodicals and
were often hard to Identify.
Mr.
Fields knew Rufus Choate as a devot
ed student of De Qulncey and wrote
him one dn>* asking his opinion as to
a certain article. Was It by De Quin
icy or not?
Mr. Choate replied that it certainly
was. There could be no mistaking the
style of the piece. A few weeks later
Mr. Choate received, through Mr.
Fields, a letter from De Qulncey deny
ing absolutely and somewhat Indig
nnntly the authorship of the article.
But Choate was not of the stuff to
yield his opinion for a trifle like that
He wrote to Mr. Fields:
"I still believe that De Qulncey wrote
the essay. De Qulncey to the contrary
notwithstanding."
Doubtless Mr. Fields read the note
with n smiling comment, "That's Just

Brown the Color For Autumn*
Brown will be the great autumn col
or, and all sorts of freakish shades will
be in vogue. Chocolate brown will be
used for street wear, and the golden
brown Is another favorite.
Brown
with a yellow cast Is a brand new
shade. Many of the newest brown cos
tumes demand boots and stockings to
match and a hat of corresponding hue.
The summer brown suits for men were
popular. Brown Is not the best color
to buy for one who has not many
clothes. It Is a shade of which one
tires quickly, and it suits the fewest
women.
For Foil Wear.
