DREAMS OF DRESS.
Rodlngote costumes will prevail during
the autumn and winter.
Some of the newest capes are finished
with a sailor collar ending in pointed ro
vers down the front.
Atpuco. and mohair fabrics are being
made into very smart toilets both for
house and street wear.
Marie Antoinette fichus will rival the
wall circle capes aud pelerines worn as
Soy wraps with autumn costumes.
Tweeds in varied qualities and new
tyllsh color schemes will occupy a prom-
liient-placo among autumn dress goods.
There will be a great voruo tho coming
Tall and winter seasons for reppod silks,
:ordcd silk and wool and all wool mate
rials. Evening silks for next season have ex
quisitely tinted dresden patterns on orcam,
.rr.auve, blue, ecru and other light colored
grounds.
It is rumored that Parisians are likely
to make considerable change in the size of
sleeves by tho time that heavy wraps be
come necessary.
Velvet blouses in black, brown and
dark green, in reseda, moss and laurtil
shades, will be eveu more fashionable than
they were last spring.
Medium and lightweight crepons, plain
and with colored stripes and dots, will re
main in fashionable favor, but they will
not reach tho universal popularity they
enjoyed this summer.
Velvet ribbons will be used for dress
trimmings this fall. Piece velvet, plain
and fancy, will be in active domand for
gowns, redingotes and blouse and other
fuuey waists. New York Post.

DRAWING UP WILLS.
Lawyers Do Not Want Their Names Iden
tified With the Documents.
That it takes a smart man to draw a
will is an adage the respect for which
in the legal fraternity is evidenced by
the fact that few lawyers want to furnish
visible evidence of their piixt in draw
ing np wills. It is perfectly easy lor a
man to hira a lawyer to draft his testa
ment, of conrae, no matter how compli
cated its provisions may he. It is quite
another thing to get tho lawyer to wit
ness it. Ho will not even allow clerks
in his office to do so except perhaps
where the client ij an old or regular
one. Ee wants him to go elsewhere to
get thenecessary attestations. Thero aro
exceptions to this unwritten rule, it is
true, but it is pretty generally observed.
"Lawyers will not so admit it," said
one of them, "hut the true reason is
they don't caro to be identified with tho
instrument. It is about, as diUioul; an
undertaking as a lawyer can face to
draw np a will whero tho bequests are
surrounded with conditions that will
close up al! loopholes to a contest. Most
testators kmw how tlioy want to dis
pose of their estates, but it is exceed: ug
ly hard to express their wishes lu a way
that will leavo no doubt when subse
quently disappointed heirs call it into
question. The books teem with instances
of tho inability of smart men, some ol
them distinguished lawyers, to make a
will that will staud under a stiff light.
Lawyers naturally dou't want to bo as
sociated with a document that may bo
pronounced bad, and' so they are unwill
ing to sign as witnesses or to let their
employees do it. I supposo it to some ex
tent argues a lack of conlideuce in their
work. Anyhow the precaution is of lit
tle nse, for invariably the lawyer who
drew it is disclosed in any litigation
over a will." Chicago Tribune.
One on tlio Prince.
The Prince of Wales once visited a
seaside town for tho purpose of laying
the foundation stone of the now harbor.
The prince, in company with Lord
Dufferin, drovo through tho town pre
ceded by the mayor in his official robes.
An old fishwife, failing to distinguish
H. K. H. among the other gentlemen,
exclaimed :
"I wonder which is the prince!" and
then cried out, at the top of her voice,
"Long live the prince!"
Instantly tho prince turned and
bowed.
"Is that him?" she inquired, with a
disappointed air.
"Of course it is," answered a neigh
bor.
"Well, well," sho replied. "That's
regular knockdown! Well, if our

A Deaconsfield Anecdote.
One day, when the late Lord Beacons

"How often have I told you to bo

"Ah, that's right enough. So I did,

Beethoven's Harsh Votco.
Beethoven had a voice so coarse and
uarsh that once, conducting n rehearsal,
when he attempted to hum a passage
for tho 'cello to show how it should go,
tin involuntary roar of laughter came
from the orchestra. He turned very red,
but afterward himself laughed, and the
ncideat passed on pleusantiy.

TO BE A MODEL.
Bhe Wanted to I,ave Housekeeping Sard
Pose For Pictures.
Not very long ago, while a prominent
artist was busy at his easel, the brass
kipx'ker rapped three times, and rising
he opened the door. "Who is it?" he
said, not very pleased at the interruption.
"Do you want a model?" was tho re
sponse. He looked at her with the rapid
glanco of the man who knows tlis mean
ing of form and color and tho valuo of
nvery feature. Apparently thejo was
uothing to recommend ba r. The face
was not beautiful, the skill and features
were coarse, there was no pomegranate
ou tiio lips, iu roie petal on cheek nor
i.iiell limn in the r.ir. The hair was a
dusty, yellow gray, the eyes dull and
h avy, tiie nion.h and jaw thick and
hard. All of this detail ho saw as she
passed tiiron,;ii tho door uninvited.
"What arc your recommendations?"
ho asked her half sneermgly.
"I have a good figure," sho answered
promptly
"Are you a professional model?" was
the next query.
"I have never p-sscd tit all, "she re
plied. "I'm a housi maid. I read some
thing in tho paper about tlie lota of
money the models made, aud I thought
I'd like it better ihau being out at serv
ice. ' '
Tho artist looked at tho young Irish
woman u moment, and glancing about
the ro.iin, wondering what to say 'o
her, his eyes fell upon his half c1 d
model seaied upon ihostaud. "M ss
B.," ho said, "will you tell this yonrg
vonr.m about the ln'o? She wants to be
a model. "
Miss IX, with an easy, natural move
ment, threw the end of her garnet vel
vet toga across her shoulders and gave
the visitor such a lengthy description of
the trials, hardships aud troubles of a
model's life in tho studios that when
sho advised tho artistically inclined
housemaid "to go back to making beds
and scrubbing and waxing floors" the
latter concluded sho had better "bear
the ills she knew than liy to those she
knew not of" and took her departure aa
abruptly as sho had come. Philadel
