OR FEMININE FAVOR
iORGEOUS FABRICS ARE IN
RIVALRY THIS SEASON.
Jharmeuse and Crepe Meteor Seem
to Lead in Popularity for the Aft-
ernoon, Street or House
Gown. H
Truly gorgeous are the fabrics this
lesson—shimmering expanses of rich-
Wss. There are so many silks—and
Inch different ones! But they are,
jie^irly all, very handsome, so that
ftflady has wide choice.
jpOr the little afternoon, or street or
ise gown, charmefuse or crepe mete-
seems to have won half place in
ainine favor. These two silks look
jch alike and give the same general
sect, being soft and clinging and
iceful. The crepe meteor is the
iter silk in weight, and is rather
re loosely woven than in the char-
ise. It has rather a crepy finish
>the back, which the charmeuse,
j^le having the same brilliant’ and
a-look finish, looks more like cot-
on the reverse side and is heavier
fweight. Both fabrics make charm-
gowns—and they make just as
fely evening gowns a/a day frocks—*
” do not expect them to give un-
jally long and durable service, for
will be disappointed. They will
IP good wear—but handle them

you see some striking and color-

priced silks, displayed in the silk

3irig to wear dresses of them. They
brve their purpose best when cut

sed on black or white or blue gowns
pwhen they are very effective indeed,
lit is a pleasure and a surprise to
pck up the brocaded satins which
imise to be so fashionable, to dis-
pver how light in weight and graceful
key are. Instead of being the ,‘stiff-
p-a-board’ type, they are as soft as
larmeuse. And they are so pretty,
Ihen made up! The taupe shades
Ihich are so modish are particularly
Iretby for daytime purposes, while

Man’s Dress Coat for Girl.
Among the new coat models for
early autumn wear a good many cut-
away effects are noticeable. A little
more exteme, but like the cutaway
coat, is a fascinating model like a
man’s dress coat, very long at the
back and sloped away at the sides. It
is not becoming to every type- of fig-
ure, but looks well upon a tall and
slender girl.
The coat In this case is made of
broadcloth, or heavy satin, while the
skirt is carried out in a lightweight
supple silk and wool fabric of a solid
color striped with green, blue or burnt
orange. The severe cut of the coat
and the simplicity of the skirt make
the costume very striking.
Shoe Hint.
After purchasing russet shoes for
children, let your bootblack give them
a substantial professional polish be-
fore wearing, says Harper’s Bazar.
When scratches appear, as they al-
ways do, they will mark only the
glossy exterior instead of the leather,,
thus saving permanent disfigurement.
After that, you can continue to polish
them at home and keep them .looking
nice.

To find whether hefeks and eyes will
wash without leaving iron rust marks,
test them with a magnet. If they can
be drawn by the magnet they contain
steel and should not be put upon

1|fasl| ACK of planning to do things
kJf ,and doing them life seems to
consist of planning to go some-,
where and going. Most men
are seeking happiness, and an-
ticipation is said to be the climax of
happiness in most cases. However
that may be, going somewhere and
getting ready for the journey is the
means of happiness for most persons.
To have no place to go is a tragedy.
Lightships do not go anywhere.
They stay in one spot, day In and day
out, month in and month out, year in
and year out, save when the tide or
the wind forces them to swing around
their shackles and instead of pointing*
east their stubbed prows point north
or south, or southwest-by-west, as the
case may be. They bob up and down
in the seaway, and if it is choppy they
may be bucking broncos, as the light-
house men describe them. The Scot-
land lightship makes a double pitch in
seven seconds. To be forced to watch
the steamships sailing past, within
hailing distance, on their way to all
parts of the world, or gliding in from
the sea with their burdens of Ameri-
cans, homeward bound and joyful in
the realization of the fact that they
will soon see their friends, and immi-
grants seeking and expecting to find
that which should make the circum-
stances of life more satisfactory, is
like placing a Barmecide feast before
a mariner who has been floating in an
open boat without food for a week.
That is what the crew of a lightship
outside of New York harbor has to
face.
A General Provider.
At Tompkinsville, Staten Island,
Uncle Sam has maintained for these
many years a depot of the lighthouse
service. It is the chief one In the Uni-
ted States. Not only has it a great
deal to do with the supplies for the
entire service, but from its wharves,
crowded with buoys of a hundred
shapes, ocean-going vessels, called ten-
ders,1 put forth with all kinds of sup-
plies for the maintenance of, the pre-
cious lights along the coast and in
the harbors between Narragansett Bay
and Cape May. The tenders take com-
pressed gas to the gas buoys, coal, oil
and food supplies to the lighthouses,
and coal, water, oil, vegetables, eggs,
ice and other supplies of the kind thart
would be required on a vessel that
makes port, perhaps, only once or
twice a year. There are four or five
of the tenders, all bearing names of
flowers, such as the Tulip, the Lark-
spur, the Gardenia and the Pansy.
Sometimes they are gone for a week,
spine times for a day only, but there is
always one designated to go out on a
Saturday to the lightships at the
mouth of the harbor. There are two
of f these lightships—the Ambrose
Channel, No. 87, and the Scotland, No.
11. The former lies outside the en-
trance to the Gedney channel, or
main gateway, while the latter swings
in the seaway at the mouth of the
South channel, the passage used by
coastwise vessels and barges on their
way into the harbor.
It behooves those who have secured
the privilege of making the trip from
the office of the lighthouse service, in
Washington, to be on hand bright and
early in the morning, for the tenders
get away almost with the sun.
On this morning, however, the sun

is invisible; it is foggy. The cook pro-
vides a cup of coffee as an appetizer,
and in a little while a grocery wagon
rattles down to the gangway. Several
barrels of green stuff, fresh meat, and
a case of eggs are carried aboard. The
breakfast bell rings and as the tender
works her way through the narrow
passage out of the basin, the youthful
waiter serves the meal.
Slowly the tender picks her way
down the Narrows through, the fog,
which seems to become denser rather
than thinner/ The breeze drives the
mist across the deck in a way that
bodes no good for the future of the
day. The whistle is sounded at regu-
lar intervals. The notes of other whis-
tles and bells come through the fog
blanket from different vessels. The
former indicate moving vessels; the
latter vessels at anchor. There is the
dull clang of a bell buoy sagging back
and forth in the gentle swell. The en-
gine room telegraph indicates that the
engines are going at “slow.” On one
side of the pilot house the captain is
peering through the murky cloud with
mouth-partly open and ears oblivious
to all except the sounds which come to
him from every point of the compass.
This is Saturday morning, and arriv-
ing and departing steamships are
likely to be far more numerous than
on any other day of the week. On the
other side is the mate, as alert and
watchful as the master. They com-
pare notes from time to time.
“Well, I’ve got plenty of time,” the
captain remarks at last, “and it is
safer at anchor than trying to move
through this fog.”
Business Is Business.
The lead is heaved and finally the
anchor is ordered dropped. The whis-
tle is replaced by the bell. There is
no -breeze now. Over at the right a
bell that reminds one of a cowbell is
sounding. That must be a freighter.
A sidewheeler bound for the fishing
grounds, and carrying a party of fish-
ermen, goes dashing past with foam-
ing paddles. The fog does not delay
the load of human freight. It is “going”
somewhere. Another, carrying com-
muters from the shore of New Jersey,
splashes north at a similar speed.
Business is business! A steamship
with deep-Jiroated voice slowly makes
her way up from the Ambrose channel;
and drops anchor somewhere in the
impenetrable cloud only a few hun-
dred feet away. Soon the blast of a
bugle communicates the information
that a steamship company must, re-^
gardless of any reluctance it may feel,-
provide its passengers with another
meal, and that it is about to be
served. Curiously, owing to the thin-
ness of the blanket of mist, It is pos-
sible to see the sun overhead, but
nothing beyond 200 feet on any side;
A lookdut on a mast a hundred feet
above the deck would be above the
Cloud, and able to guide the move-
ments of a vessel. Gradually the sun
burns up the fog, there being no wind
to blow it away. As it thins, the an-
chor is raised again, and, leaving the
group of anchored steamships Which
gradually have been unveiled, the ten-
der makes for the Ambrose channel on
its way but to the Ambrose channel
lightship, three or four miles at sea.
She is “going” again, much to the sat-
isfaction of everyone.
