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 lour , which was usually nt 7:30. : The meal completed , the malfo occupied only n few minutes in piling the dishes neatly together , covering them with a cloth and putting the food away. A few minutes more sudlced for -a quick change from tidy print worhlmg gowns Into street costume , and 8:30 : o'clock found them at the college r ady for recitations , Neither slctor had any recitation between 12 and 2 , so that It was not dinicult for them in- hurry home , where ono prepared luncheon while the other washed the breakfast dishes. At1 o'clock the last school duties were over , and Emma nnd Ada once more -aiJ- COAT ED WIT MINGS. sumed their Cinderella roles , washing luncheon - eon dishes and preparing dinner. The 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.

After an evening spent in this 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 same way. 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 "elocutionary sisters" were seated In the little dining room , and , naturally enough , were comparing their feelings on leaving with these they had experienced on entering tholr winter home.Vc simply could not liavo done it with any other kind of em ployers , but ours have been perfectly lovely !

THIS AHT OV DAHXIXO. An KwieiiUnl Part iif .rrnctU-nl Home Trnl ii In f ? . 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. Ffllllllllll ; I'lTHOIIlllM.
