; A CONE—ESSION.
”Do!” said she, holding out the in-
nocenst-looking little book with the
flowered cover. “You promised."
“I must have time to think it over,"
I protested.
“That would never do. The confes-
sions have to be quite impromptu.”
I turned over the leaves doubt-fully
and shook my head. “The questions
are terribly searching. Why, I should
have to confess enough to hang me!"
“Why not—if you deserve hanging?
I dare say you do, you know.” I
hadn’t looked at it like that.
“Now,” said she, firmly. “This is
a J pen-you use a J, don’ t you. ”’ She
planet (1 the Wiiting materials in front
of me with an air of determination.
“Well—if I must—~” I took up the
pen and stared blankly at the ceiling.
“What am I to do?”
”First you ufi‘ite your namebhere."
She came and stood beside me and
pointed over my shoulder. So I sub«
scribed myself hers to command.
“Now your age.”
“What does that matter?”
“It shows how much wisdom may
"be expected.”
' “Thirty-one, then, if I must. It’s
awfully old, isn’t it?”
“No—o; not for a man. Now the
date. That’s right.”
“Now you must answer the ques-
tions. What is the thought upper-
most in your mind?”
“Your pleasant company.”
“0! whatever will people think?"
“That I’ve got one answer right.” I
leaned back triumphantly in my
chair.
“Now you must be quite serious,
please. This is a very important ques-
tion. Is life worth living? No! You
are not to write till you have ltOld me
the answer.”
“In the present company—yes.”
“You are not to mention me.
“Then my inspiration’s gone.” I
laid down the pen.
“Please!” I took it up again.
“if the liver works. Will that do?"
“It isn’t original,” she objected.
“Four people have written it already.”
“I know,” said I, seizing the book
and writing rapidly. Ilt depends on
the answer to another question, when
I ask it.
“That’s altogether too vague.”
“Shall I make it. more explicit?” I
looked right at her, and she went pret-
tily pink.
“There’s no room for any more,"
said sh? hastily. “New you turn
over. ou have a lot more questions
to answer "
Then I committed myself 'to the
statements that my favorite author
was Shakespeare, (she wouldn’t hear
of Kipling!) my favorite composer,
1 E" mi ff: “l
. Wagner, (which wasn’t true,) my fa-
vorite drink, beer, (which was.) and
yarious other important facts.
“Now for your aesthetic tastes.
Your favorite colors?” ,
Blue in eyes and brown in hair;
Whatever color my lady wear!
“Shall I add, ‘gray,’ at present?” I
inquired. Of course, that was what
she was wearing.
“I don’t know, what color your lady
wears. I didn’t know you had ‘a
lady.’ 91
“There is one I should like to
have.”
“But that isn’t the question,” she
said quickly.
“But it’s going to be.”
“Never mind. Go on.
ate name?”
“Edith, of course. That is her name,
you know.”
“You’re making game.”
“Indeed I’m not.” ‘
“Now your favorite qualities in wo-
Your favor-
man. Seriously, mind! I really want
to know.”
"Yours,” I announced, decidedly.
She hastily removed the ink- pot.
“I won’t have any more nonsmse.’
“You told me to put down the
truth.”
“I shall have to tear it all out.”
“Well,” I sighed, “I’ll put something
else; but it won’t be so true.” She
released the ink. “All,” I wrote.
“The next question is a poser,” l
remarked“ “If not yourself who
would you be?”
“Some great hero—or writer—or
painter?” she suggested, looking over
my shoulder. Her hair just brushed
me—Iand that made my mind up.
“I’m not so ambitious as that.”
. “Well, put down whatever you wish,
so long as it’s something nice.”
“She—it~——is very nice.”
“But it mustn’t be anything silly."
“Um! I’m afraid, perhaps, what I
want—”
“Want to be?”
“To have.”
“on, no! That’s not the question at
an 9!
“But suppose that my ambition is to
possms something—or -somebo—-”
“That isn’t the point,” . she inter-
rupted. “Do’ answer it properly.”
“I know. Whomevcr you liked best.”
“Every one will laugh at you.”
“I don’t mind.” I nibbled the pen-
holder thoughtfully. “Is marriage a
failure? What am I to say to that?”
“Well—er—you don’t know.”
“I might say I’ll try.”
“Yes—er—but-—"
“With someone’s assistance?” She
blushed mi'iously. “Do you know,
Edith, it’s a very difficult question to
answer—alone?” She toyed with her
handkerchief. ,
“Perhaps you’d better skip it,” she
advised.
“I don’t want to skip it,” I an-
swere ed, firmly, laying down the pen.
“What I want is someone to help me
Someone of whom
I’m very fond, very/"fond.” I stood
up and took hold of her hands. “Will
you try, Edie, my dear?”
The answer is going to be a very
big, “No”; for little Edie—my Edie—-
said “¥.el.”—Black and White.
NEW YORK FASHIONS. -'
Dame Fashion has decreed that the
hat worn “off the face" will be the cor-
rect thing in headgear for dressy wear
this fall and winter, and that this man-
date will be obeyed by that portion Of
fair femininity who wishes to be strict-
ly up-to-date in all things pertaining to
the toilette, goes without saying- NO‘»
however, without decidedly detriment.-
al results in many cases. Youth and
beauty and a certain piquancy 0f ex-
pression are necessary to set off these
fetching little toques, and if the girl
not possessed of these attributes will
still insist upon adopting the style, we
may expect to see some queer sights
during the coming season.
As those toqucs, or properly speak-
ing toquets, set well back on the head
elaborate coiffures are nicessary. and
the becoming pompadour will have a
new lease of life.
Velvet is extensively employed in
millinery this autumn and ostrich
feathers, the longer and fluffier the bet-
ter form the chief adornment. Jet is
also used in profusion. the pins with
large_,fancy jet knobs at the top being
very fashionable. Paradise, pheasants
and, owl feathers are greatly in de-
mand, turbans made entirely of breasts
of birds being seen in great variety.
while silk, lace, fancy aigrettes and
even fur are seen on many of the new-
est models.
Another pretty way to trim these
smart little hats is with the wired vel-
vet and pretty bowknots of velvet and
satin. These have a very frail appear-
ance, but indeed are wired in such a
strong manner that they can withstand
the strongest wind storm.
Castor color is a popular shade in
millinery this autumn and makes up
charmingly in velvet or felt. Royal
blue, all the purple tints and for even-
ing wear amethyst blue and many deli—
cate shades are also extensively em-
ployed. Black, especially when com-
bined with white is much in evidence,
a lovely model, made with a full crown
of black velvet, covered with applied
lace, being trimmed with white ostrich
feathers.
After the all—velvet models, hats of
pleated chenille and a sort of satin
covered straw come next in favor, and
as they need very little adornment are
decidedly popular with the amateur
milliner, a couple of handsome plumes,
with a dashing bow of velvet caugh.
with a jeweled or rhinestone bUCkll'
making a :dainty and fashionable head—
covering.
Many different names are applied to
these turbans, but as each one is usual-
ly built to suit the individual style and
beauty of each patron, there can be no
distinguishing title to bestow upon
them.
(The stiff hats displayed at the open-
ings, intended for traveling or walking
gowns are bewildering in their array.
They come in all shapes and colors and
have a chic appearance all their own.
The Alpine model with the brim a little
wider and broader than those of for-
mer seasons, is popular. And then
we have the English walking hat
slightly difierent in shape from last
year’s model. and for cycling there is
the low felt hat with narrow brim and
the larger campaign, “Rough Rider”
and Dewey hats. all of which are high
in favor.
Although the separate waist has been
relegated to the background time and
time again it still holds a very promi-
nent place in my lady’s Wardrobe, and
the large establishments have set apart
a separate department for the display
of these. lovely creationslat all the
openings, and it is safe to say that fair
womankind will not soon relinquish so
handy and becoming a fashion.
At a recent opening a very dainty
blouse bodice was composed of checked
velvet in tones of green and brown, and
trimmed with embroidered green vel-
vet. The blouse made rather plain
fastened slightly to the left side with
jeweled buttons and opened at the top
with narrow velvet revers over a yoke
of cream colored peau de sole, with
stock collar of same edged with narrow
velvet. Embroidered velvet finished
the top of the close fitting sleeves and
shoulders while the belt was of green
velvet to match the revers. An attrac-
tive hat of green velvet, adorned with
loops Of ribbons and fiufiy black plumes
accompanied this pretty waist.
Taffeta still holds its own for the
making of separate waists and a de-
cidedly handsome model worthy of
mention was made of royal blue taffeta,
tucked in groups of six with about two
inches between each group. In front
the fabric was arranged to have a
pointed effect in the center, where it
Awas trimmed with a band of embroi-
dered taffeta, these bands also adorn-
ing either side of the bodice. Em-
broidered taffeta, gathered on, gave a
full appearance to the top of the close-
fitting sleeves. Girdle and collar of
black velvet. A'fetching little toquel.
of black velvet, with two black ostrich
plumes caught in the center with a jew-
eled buckle gave the finishing touch to
this stylish waist.
Cuban red silk composed another
handsome waist, which was tucked and
platted and adorned with bands of silk
embroidery. The simulated yoke and \
vest was simply tucked at even dis-
tances, while the remainder of the ma-
terial laid in tiny lengthwise folds, was
elaborately intersected with bands of
embroidery. - Epaulets edged with em-
broidery capped the shoulders, and the
sleeves which moulded the arm had a
slight puff at the top. finished with
tucks and embroidery. A dainty capote
of Cuban red velvet, adorned with rib-
bon and feathers had a double rhine-
stone buckle directly in front almost
resting on the hair.

NEW STYLES IN LINGERIE-
IInllln Petticoats Cut After the Pattom ‘
of the Latest Dress Skirts.
The woman has yet to be born who
has not a fondness for dainty, fresh,
beautiful lingerie, and it is therefore
natural that this' phase of fashion
should interest and fascinate all wo-
mankind. '
English nainsook is the fabric most.
in use for fine underwear.
The nightgown of the‘immediate fu-
ture is gored and named and most
elaborately trimmed.
This season the short-waisted effect
is much sought in night dresses, and
laces and embroideries are inserted
bayadere fashion.
The fichu is a feature of the newest
night-dress, and is a most becoming
part of it.
The chemise has again come into
use. Formerly this garment was worn
next to the skin under the corset, but
it is now more frequently worn over
the corset, doing duty as a corset cover
and short skirt. The most highly ap-
proved design is rather short—falling
just low enough to hide the drawers.
Most of the newest models are made
to draw in behind at the waist line
with a ribbon, so that they fit the fig-
ure as snugly and smoothly as a fitted
corset cover.
Drawers are by no means so wide as
they Were last season. Very few um-
brella drawers are shown, this design
having been greatly modified. They
are narrower, and fit very snugly and
plainly about the hips, having no gath~
ers at all in flout and on sides, and as
few as possible in the back.
Both the very short and the long
muslin petticoats, are out after the
newest dress-skirt patterns, and their
fit is faultless. Their tops are sheath-
shaped, and they fit back and front
around the top without a gather or
pleat or even so much as' a pucker. It
goes without saying that they flare de-
cidedly at the bottom, and on the long
l
petticoats three lace-edged graduated
ruffles are made to fall over one an-
other, and are set on an attached lace-
edged flouuce, which makes four fluffy
ruffles about the feet.
While the matinee more properly be-
longs to neglige d1css, the average wo-
man thinks of it in connection with
her lingerie.
A most useful one is the Geisha
dressing sack. illustrated. This is
made of fine Ficnch flannel in delicate
pinksmnd tans and is lined with pale
pink India silk. Another good model
is a matinee of white albatross with a
square, horizontally tucked yoke bacl.
and front. Heavy lace of the shade
known as age yellow almost hides
each tuck. The sleeves and skirt are
tucked vertically, a style most becom-
ing to stout figures By the way, very
desirable nightdresse€ for steamer or
sleeping-car wear are made of alba-
tross in all colors. and fine flannel
gowns made after the most approved
styles. except not quite so elaborate-
as to trimming, are considered desila
hle.
