The usual social hour will conclude the programme. so pronounced this season in Paris both for millinery and dress is exemplified in one of the smartest waists in the large collection It Is of black crepe de chine with decidedly drooping shoulders, the front emoroiderea with grapes and foliage.

A tiny tucked cull fon yoke and fagoting on the stock collar and at the top of the sleeves added an extra touch of embellishment. Tan shades com mand particular attention this season and one of the most conspicuous and loveliest gowns seen here is a Cossack costume in pastel tan from the Callot atelier. A deep band of mink fur. polka dotted with seal skin, borders the skirt, and above is an embroidered design in self color. Filet lace embroidered in gold and white forms the narrow vest and is introduced also in the sleeve caps and cuffs, while the belt also shows a blending of cream and gold.

Liberty satin and chiffon are the favorite materials for evening gowns and several exquisite examples of artistic designing are on view in white, gray and pastel tan shades, filet Byzantine and Bruge lace and spangles adding the decorative touch. An Irish lace robe more youthful looking than such dresses usually are is a Callot model. It is white and Byzantine lace, a sort of square meshed Chantilly, is combined with the heavier variety. There are stunning gowns In velveteen and fancy zibeline, introducing the browns, greens and grays that are so prominent just now, some brightened by a touch of gayly colored embroidery. The waists form an exquisite group and the wraps are beautiful.

A bright scarlet coat with trimming of bands of panne velvet and gold tipped ribbon ends from Armand, and a Pen cn model in white cloth with collar of gold tissue and royal blue velvet and trimming of chinchilla and black braid are especially conspicuous. DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. International Committee Drafts a Collection of "Views on Suffrage Question. At the meeting of the International Suffrage Conference, held in Washington, D. last February, a committee was appointed to draft a declaration of principles and has just reported as follows: That men and women are born equally free and independent members of the human race; equally endowed with talents and Intelligence, and equally entitled to the free exercise of their individual rights and liberty.

That the natural relation of the sexes is that of interdependence and co operation, and that a repression of the rights of one inevitably works injury to the other and to the whole race. That in all lands, those laws, creeds and customs which have tended to restrict women to a position of dependence; to discourage their mental training; to repress the development' of their natural gifts, and to subordinate their individuality, have been based upon false theories and have produced an artificial and unjust relation of the sexes in modern society. That self government in the home and the state should be the Inalienable right of every normal adult, and in consequence no individual wman can "owe obedience" to any individual man, as prescribed by old marriage forms, nor can women as a whole owe obedience to men as a whole, as prescribed by modern governments. That the refusal to recognize women as individual members of society, entitled to the right of self govorr "in. has resulted in social, legal and rcv injustice to them and has intensified the existing economic disturbances throughout the World.

That governments which impose taxes and laws upon their women citizens without giving them the right of consent, or dissent, which is granted to men citizens, exercise a tj ranny inconsistent with just government. That the ballot is the only legal and permanent means of defending the rights to "lite, liberty and pursuit of happiness" pronounced inalienable by the American Declaration of Independence and accepted as inalienable by all civilized nations; therefore, women should be vested with all rights and privileges of electors in a representative form of government. That the rapidly developing intelligence of women, resulting from new educational opportunities and the important position in the economic world into which women have been forced by the commercial changes of the last half century, call for the immediate consideration of this problem by the nations of the world.

Smith of Rochester has been appointed from the eligible list as junior assistant physician at the Long Island State Hospital, at a yearly salary of Mrs. Helen M. Grenfels is the candidate of the Populists of Colorado for state superintendent of public instruction. The women of Utica, Michigan, have asserted themselves. After waiting in vain for the men to act they built a mile of sidewalk and will turn their attention to street cleaning.

Miss Mary Williamson is a southerner who has achieved marked success in a field heretofore largely controlled by men, namely, supplying 'ready made clothing for women. Miss Etta H. Maddox of Baltimore, about a fortnight ago was admitted to the bar of the State of Maryland. At its last session the legislature of Maryland passed a bill entitling women to practice law in that state and Miss Maddox. who was insistent in urging the passage of the bill, is the first woman to take advantage of its provisions.

An edict has gone forth from the Board of Education cf Salt Lake City, Utah, that hereafter no married woman sbll be employed as teacher in the public schools Salt Lake City, and those who marry will be requested to resign. The Woman's Anti Vice Commission which includes a number of Brooklynites on its membership roll of 200 and upward has arranged for two public meetings to be held in the Borough of the Bronx in the interest of desired legislation. The first will be held on October 27 and the second in December. Mrs. Odell, wife of Governor Odell, will be the guest of honor on Thursday afternoon of the West End Women's Republican Club at a large reception to be given in the club rooms.

South Carolina clubwomen through their sUUe federation have awarded sixteen scholarships in various educational Institutions of their state, ranging from kindergarten training schools to colleges. STORE NOTES. Exquisite Creations for Fair "Wearers at Loeser's Paris Costume Display. Color harmony that would delight the soul of an artist, exquisite embroidery and handiwork to rejoice the heart of every woman who loves and appreciates these distinctively feminine embellishments, supplemented by a fascinating simplicity these are the dominant notes in the costume display given to day by Frederick Loeser Co. Of course, all the gowns aud the wraps are enveloped by, the magic charm that the announcement, "Parisian design" carries with it, and truly the exhibit might be characterized as a dream of dress loveliness for fair" women.

Costume exhibitions at Loeser's are ever demonstrations of the best and most artistic that the master designers in the old world have to offer, but the fait and winter models which receive their first showing to day eclipse in general attractiveness even the most brilliant of previous displays at this house. How a woman with an eye for the beautiful both in fabric and fashioning could resist the fascination of this aggregation of exquisite gowns it is difficult to imagine, for they were sufficient to turn the head of the least impressionable member of the sex. A tobacco shade of brown and royai blue are the leading colors, according to Paris dictators, and trimming with self colored lace is a noticeable feature of the season's styles. A stunning gown from Doucet of tobacco brown chiffon with broad insertions of lace in the same shade, the pattern worked out with velvet is a study in color with an effective contrast produced by a ehou of pale blue that appeared on the bodice which is draped in surplice effect. This same artist designer also contributes a blue robe for a young girl the lace medallion adorning the skirt and blouse shading from pale blue to soft cloudy effects in blue and white.

A deep note of royal blue is struck by Pa quin in a chiffon costume, the. skirt showing deep transparent insertions of Chantilly in the same vivid tint over white, and the long sash ends of shaded blue loulsirie. completing the color effect. A "symphony in blue" is the description given by an enthusiastic admirer of a Raudnltz creation in five shades of blue; the robe is made entirely of chiffon ranging from royal blue to the lightest tint; large oblong shaped buckles of gun metal set with brilliants and sapphires adorn the skirt and a silver embroidered net is draped fichu fashion on the. bodice Long full sleevs.

full skirts and blouse waists are noticeable on all the models, and the effect is quaint but exceedingly picturesque. Reminiscent of the days of Watteau is a superb evening gown of the finest point d'esprit mousseline embroidered with tiny blossoms in pink and blue with green leaves and Dark Brown and Deep Green the Leading Tints; Tassel Trimming and Postillion Belts a Feature. The best fall stuffs for rain are the serges and the zibellnes, and there are camel's hair goods not very rough, aud some very good new Irish suitings. The Scotch tweeds and the Glasgow checks are very nice for street wear, aud can be made up into pedestrian dresses'. American women have never taken very well to checked suits and while every woman owns a check dress, she does not wear it very often.

She finds it more an ornament to her wardrobe than to herself. It is so with the plaids, and though there are lovely Scotch plaids coming In McKinley, Ferguson, Fife and Dunkirk patterns, none of these have proven themselves extremely popular with the American woman. The prettiest plaids this fall are those that show green and blue, aud If made up with bands of dark blue cloth or taffeta, they look extremely well. The red and black plaids are certainly stunning, and it a woman can have several fall dresses she can indulge in one o.f these brilliant suits, but in buying she should remember that the more conspicuous a dress is the more it will be noticed, and that which seemed very pretty at first will soon become monotonous. The woman who wants something new, yet cannot have a great many dresses, should indulge in the new dark fall shades.

In these new fall shades you will notice a deep brown which is called bark brown. It is the color of" the dead bark of a tree. there is a deep green which is called autumn leaf green. It is the color of a dead old green leaf. None of the new dark colors are very bright, but all have, a slightly faded look.

These are the new art colors, and new art will not permit us to have anything brilliant. Everything must have a dull tone, and when selecting a dress one might as well pick out something which looks faded, for it will be more fashionable when it is made up than if it were a bright tone. The Roman blue, the glossy seal brown, the deep emerald green, the glowing heliotrope and the automobile reds and browns are a little less fashionable than they were, and the new cloths show a deeper, duller tone in everything. A very pretty tassel trimming worn by one of New York's richest women the other day was made of champagne yellow silk, with the tassels deepening into brown. The cording which fastened the tassels together was looped aroupd the skirt, and bunches of tassels hung over eight inches deep.

They cafne just to the ground. This style of trimming could be imitated very nicely in a cheaper grade of silk perhaps and with just as good effect. A handsome postilion belt just at this time looks extremely well with the new fall skirt. Let the tabs be very long in the back, the longer the better, and let them gradually widen. Have them made of silk, stitched all around the edge, and let the belt be stitched.

Fasten it with a buckle in front, so arranged that the points of the belt cross to give the low, long wa.lsted look. What a season it is for the slender woman and doesn't the fat woman have troubles of her own! In a postillion belt she looks funny, although really the postillion was invented for her. But it is one of those things that went astray Its mission. The fat woman, should wear either no belt at all or a very narrow black one, which should be stitched and put on taut. As soon as a woman finds her waist to be over thirty inches, she should make an exhaustive search of narrow, dark belt effects, and should never depart from them.

Least of all should she wear a turquoise blue velvet band around her or a flaring red. A little color study is very beneficial to every woman as the season changes, for new colors come in and it is easy to make bad mistakes. Violet, indigo blue, grepn, yellow, orange and red are undoubtedly the foundation colors for all the fashionable tints, but remember that the addition of a little yellow or the subtraction of a little red in a tone makes all the difference in the world.

"A Constant Reader" writes: "Please give recipe for green peppers stuffed for immediate use." Cut off the tops and scoop out the seed3 from six bell peppers (green) chop an extra pepper without seeds, and mix with a small onion chopped fine, a cup of chopped tomato, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter or salad oil, a feaspoonful of salt and an equal quantity of bread crumbs. Stuff the pepper's, replace the ends and bake for half an hour, basting them two or three times with butter or oil.

Serve hot as a vegetable. Whole green peppers may be boiled until tender, drained and stuffed with chopped cabbage, or tomatoes and cucumbers or a combination of vegetables, mixed with French dressing, and served as a salad.

In these days of scarcity of fuel It may interesting to know how one thrifty housekeeper, with more leisure than money, has warmed her house for years during the two weeks or so In the fall and spring when heat is needed In the morning and evening only. She uses old newspapers, and prepares them for combustion by twisting them into fagots For the furnace she tears the paper in half, doubles each half together and twists it tightly. For the fireplace heater she separates the sheets, crumples each together and finishes by giving a slight twist, while for the small stove in her sewing room, or for a grate is sometimes used in a north I room, she merely gives the paper a close i crumple. She finds it better to prepare the fuel pretty near the time of using it, as it barns better if it has not been allowed to gather dampness. This fuel is prepared at odd times, usuuuy at husk, Dy tne mistress and her children, and is kept in huge bags made of cast off garments, and these form measures for the amounts needed.

How Gladly We Pluck the Grafted Pear. The cultivated pear is counted one of the best fruits of the tenrderate zone. While at least a thousand varieties have been produced, but comparatively few are well known to the housekeeper. In the cultivation of the pear the aim is to conserve the proportion of sugar and the delicacy of the aroma. The pear is less acid and cellulose than the apple, and a ripe pear should melt in the mouth like a mellow peach.

Pears do not keep as well as apples, though there are some kinds, "summer pears," which can scarcely he said to be well ripened until uic nave Deen gatnered from the tree and kept covered with flannel on the floor of a darkened room or In a dark closet. They then become mellow and rich and their digestion is not at all difficult, the cell walls being more easily broken up tham in the half mature or imperfectly ripened fruit. Pears of the best quality, when perfectly ripe, are better suited for being eaten raw than apples, their flesh being much softer. But pears are not so cheap or generally useful In cooking as the apple, and consequently the housekeeper does not know that there are many delightful ways of preparing them for present use on the table. Eipe Pears With Cream.

This is a delicious breakfast dish and a pleasant change served with good brown bread and butter for the fruit and cereal course. The pears must be mellow, ripe and of fine flavor. Pare and slice them thin and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar. Have them chilled, and when cold heap whipped cream on top of each dish. Compote of Pears.

Cut fine large pears in half, pare, remove cores, but not stems. Make a rich syrup as for preserving; add a slice or two of lemon, and when it boils up put In the pears and cook very gently until tender. Take them up carefully, arrange inspyramid on a glass dish and cover with a very firm apple jelly; let get cold, and haviijg boiled down the syrup until very thick, pour it around the pears cold. Pear Meringue. Pare and carefully remove the cores from fine large pears; steam them until tender, then arrange them in a deep dish; sift pow dered'sugar over them, squeeze a.

little lemon juice over them and cover wih a meringue, heaped i)p roughly. Set in the oven to color a delicate brown. Eat hot or cold. Baked Pears. Take larger pears than will answer for stewing, selecting those of uniform size.

Arrange them in a deep baking dish, stem ends up; mix a half cup of sugar with a' cup of boiling water and stir until dissolved. Cover closely with an inverted dish and bake slowly until they are tender, but do not lose their shape. Bake them frequently with the syrup. Serve with cream. Stuffed Pears.

Carefully remove the cores from good sized baking pears, pare or not, as you choose; remove seeds from dates, roll each date small enough to fit in the hollow space in each pear and bake slowly until soft, being careful to retain their shape. Place in a glass dish and surround with a rather thick, boiled custard decorated with a meringue made of whites of the eggs and powdered sugar. Serve with sweet wafers. Prickly Pears. Scoup out blossom end of good baking pears, leaving the stems.

Boil one cup of sugar with two cups of water for five minutes, flavoring with a little syrup from canned or preserved cherries. Put in the pears and simmer until you can pierce them with a broom straw. The syrup should cover them. When done, remove pears and cook down the syrup to a thick, rich jelly. Mois rounds of stale sponge cake or angel's food in the syrup, arrange on a dish, stand a pear on each and stick it full of shreds of blanched almonds.

Stand in a cold place for an hour or two before serving. Decorate the dish with whipped cream and serve. German Pear Klosse. Pare, core, and chop fine six ripe pears; grate over them half a nutmeg and with two of clarified butter, sugar to taste, four well beaten eggs and sufficient finely grated breadcrumbs to make the mixture stiff and smooth. Form into cones with the bowl of a large spoon; drop in boiling water and simmer half an hour.

When done, dredge with powdered sugar and cinnamon and serve with a sweet sauce. Pear Salad. Pare' and cut in thin round slices, some ripe pears; mix with the same quantity of thin slices of banana; to two cups of the fruit allow half a cup of blended and chopped nuts; sprinkle with sugar and the juice of two lemons and serve very cold. Canned Mo. 1.

Pare, halve and remove cores and throw the pears immediately Into cold water to keep from turning brown. For every four pounds of the prepared fruit allow one pound of sugar and one quart of water. Drain the fruit and put into a preserving kettle, cover boiling' water and cook very until they can be pierced with a broom straw. Have the syrup boiling and skimmed clear, and as soon as pears are done lift them out with a skimmer or perforated spoon and put them in the boiling syrup: simmer until the syrup has thoroughly penetrated the fruit (about ten minutes), then seal quickly in glass Jars. Canned Pears, No.

2. Ten pounds of pears, after paring, halving and coring, five pounds of sugar, one lemon sliced thin, one teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, one teaspoonful ground nutmeg, a email piece of ginger root. Tie the nutmeg and cinnamon in a muslin bag. Cook all together until the pears turn pink, then put in jars and seal boiling hot. Pear Marmalade.

Wash the pears well In cold water; remove stems and blossom end; cut the pears in small pieces; put them in a kettle with very little water; set in another vessel holding water and cook until reduced to a pulp; then rub through a colander. To every pound of pulp allow three quarters' of a pound of sugar. Cook until smooth and thick enough to drop from a spoon in clots. Fill Into glasses or Jam pots and when cold cover with' paraffin. Preserved Pears.

Select choice, ripe, perfect pears. Pare and cut In halves. Drop into cold water. Put paflngs and cores on to boil with one quart of water; cook fifteen minutes, strain and add to the juice enough water to furnish one quart to every four pounds of sugar used. Allow three quarters of a pound of sugar to every pound of fruit.

Boil and skim the syrup clear, add a little lemon juice and a small piece of ginger root to each quart. Put the pears in' tnis syrup and simmer until tender; lift out carefully Into jars; boil the syrup down rich and thick, pour it over the fruit and seal. If the pears are a hard variety they must first be cooked tender In clear boiling water before they are put into the syrup. N. requests a recipe for preparing large peppers to serve as a vegetable.

Stuffed Green Pepper. Cut off the stem end of green bell peppers. Mince cold cooked chicken, ham, or use a can of shrimps. Mix with an equal quantity ol bread crumbs, a large lump of butter, two or three tablespoonfuls of cream and a sprinkling of salt and minced parsley. Be careful to remove all seeds from the peppers; fill them with the prepared stuffing; sprinkle BUSINESS WOMEN'S REUNION.

Admirably adapted for the theater or afternoon wear is the pretty blouse in the accompanying picture. It is of pastel green peau de cygne set off with deep collar of batiste and cream applique lace. Motifs of the same lace trim the front of the blouse and the sleeves and the loops and long ends of black velvet ribbon gives the requisite note of black. DIGNITY OE THE STJITS. Value of Tricks at Bridge "Whist Laid Down by a Dying Gypsy in 1731.

Ask any bridge player why the suits should stand relatively toward one another as they do why hearts should stand at the head of the hierarchy, diamonds next, then clubs, and, finally, spades lowest of all the chances are 100 to 1 that he will be unable to give any reason. He will probably reply that, as there had to be some order, this is as good as any other. Yet there is a real and a very curious reason why the suits should stand in their present order; but to discover it one must go to the odd little book, "The Square of Sevens," produced in 1731 by Robert An trobiis. Autrobus was called by his affairs to the little village of Tretelly, in Cornwall, and there found and succored, as best he could, a dying gypsy, whom he called "ilr. George." This man is said to have been learned to an extraordinary degree in all the peculiar lore of his tribe, but he had either been cut off or had renounced them, and was ready enough to teach the kindly Gorgio the secret of reading dukkeripeus and of the ancient magis which ho declared was "known to only a few of all the families of Egypt." As the last and highest mark of his confidence he disclosed to Antrobus the "square of sevens," the most potent method of making the cards unfold the secrets of the future.

Antrobus published it in the book, but the entire edition, with the exception or" about a dozen copies, was destroyed in a fire, and he seems to have wanted either the means or the inclination to issue another. Into the method prescribed in dealing with the cards it is fortunately unnecessary to go. It suffices to say that it is not more or less peurile than those familiar to everybody, but it is vastly complicated, and there can be very little doubt that it does really represent that ancient practise of reading dukkeripeus, which is now almost a lost art, even among the gypsies of the pure blood. The interest of the book for the modern card player lies not in the construction of its mysterious "parallelogram," its "master cards" or its "influences," but in the light it throws upon an arrangement which has generally been thought to be purely arbitrary. After constructing his parallelogram out of the cards in the prescribed manner, the inquirer is bidden to "observe It as a whole and remark if it hath an agreeable or un pleasing aspect one auspicious or unkind, according as it contains rather the red or the black suits.

For a red aspect is kindly. A black aspect contains many less favorable cards, especially if they be spades. "And for another matter and a wider notice as to the suits of cards it has long been assured by those best knowing card in telligences that the suit of hearts is the suit of the affections, passions, fancies and feel i iugs. And the suit or diamonds ever refers to conditions in life, society, wealth, posi tion and the fine arts, and contains many comfortable cards. In the clubs lies the judgment, the intellect, thp will and the affairs of a man's brains and what he doeth of his own mastery and geinus." (Perhaps this is why it is so dangerous to double a club call.) "The spades is ever the suit of doubtful or worse prognostics; of the events that arbitrarily fall to man's lot.

those things which hardly can any prescience or plans or conditions of our own making amend. Thence it is that in especial comes a sori otis, nay, even a gloomy, appearance to the parallelogram." i Friend Antrobus might in the last, two sentences have been expressing his opinion on a hand at bridge, a game with which he and other good fellows. I trust, beguile the time in the perpetual Asphodel Meadows. Be that as it may. the curious mass of i black art which he succeeded In extracting I from "Mr.

George," shows pretty clearly why we now reckon the suits in the order of hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades, though where' the gypsies originally got the idea! from is as obscure as ever, and is likely to remain so. Country Life. IN THE MARKETS. No severe frost having appeared in the chief butter producing districts of the conn try, together with pasture preserving moisture of weather, maintains continued supply of that commodity. Consumption on the liberal average notable this season keeps up, making gratifyingly steady conditions in the wholesale market, prices in which arc about the same us at a week ago.

Retailer's charges this week are 26 to 21) cents per pound for cut Elgin, 31 to 32 cents for prints and especial manufacture and 3S cents for sweet or unsalted butter. Prices remained steady in the wholesale egg market until yesterday, when receipts caused a weaker feeling among operators, resulting in the decline of a half to one cent per dozen in prices. The perraa nance of the decline being by no means assured, however, retailers still give ten to cloven ordinary and eight to nine selected eggs for 25 cents. i DIPLOMACY. William Sllmson.

Harper's Bazar. RSr's. Mary E. Craigie Lectures on Subject Before Large Church Audience. Y.

W. C. A. CLASSES BEGUN. Colonial Daughters of Seventeenth Century to Hold Fall Eeunion on Monday Afternoon.

Mrs. Mary E. Craigie delivered au address on "The Influence of Books on Char act.er" at the Fourth Avenue Methodist Epis copal Church, Fourth avenue and Forty seventh street last evening. Mrs. Craigie is manager of traveling libraries of the Brooklyn Public Library.

A good sized audience was present. Mrs. Craigie was in troduced by the Rev. John R'lppere, pastor of the. church.

In the course of his address said: "The relation of reading to the mind has the same bearing as food, "does to the system. You never can build good body by a continuous feeding on candy. Neither can you build a strong mind ou unsubstantial books. The boy, for instance, who loves Wild West stories with and thunder plots, longs to carry a pistol in each pocket and a knife in his belt. He looks forward to the time when must get out of his way or tak .1 the deadly consequences.

His thoughts be come unhealthy and abnormal. The influ caiuvj ui uiai. uuuit un cniirucier, say wuac you will, is not for good. It incites no man purpose. It tends to nip manhood in its bud.

It vitiates, weakens and destroys. The youth or boy who reads the works of the standard authors not only develops a more X'ioea'Ithy intellect, but he also exercises a influence among his fellows.
