With the assurance that society is to spend the winter merrily, even brilliantly, there is answer to the demand for an appropriate Wardrobe, writes a fashion correspondent In the New York Timet. - The prelude to the season wns played this summer by the Americans ahroad.

The castle is one of the finest monu- ;• /5V ments of its kind in the world. It was once a stronghold of the Moors; In fact, the last that the Moors held In "v Portugal." This sun dial and gun gives th« correct time tothe surrounding towns -v,., and hamlets from its height of 2,000 t feet The cannon between the Quadrant on the front of the dial is of , . . bronze and supports at convex lens on r'^l •. • adjustable arms, adjustable for twelve 5!},' months at a time. At noon each day the sun's rays are focused "on the touch-hole of the cannon and thus it is automatically fired.

Variety of Animals.' 4 The region of Yellowstone National park is tiie greatest game preserve in the world, both In point of number and variety of animals. It is the home of the largest herds of elk. buffalo, antelope and mountain sheep within the United States. Several hundred moose range the park area. There are deer of whitetail and mule varieties, many beavers, foxes, badgers, porcupines and lesser animals. Dozens of grizzlies and black bears which entertain the tourists during the summer, sleep In Yellowstone's caves during the winter. The white gulls on Yellowstone lake leave in the fall for the Pacific coast or Great Salt lake, but a great many geese anfl ducks and grouse winter In the p$rk,--Detroit News.

Now It is the American woman whose beauty and dash spur the fancy of foreign modistes and cause the haut jnonde to "sit up and take notice." At ihls last drawing room and the court ball some of the toilets worn hy Americana were magnificent. The new woolens of which the nappy sports outfits are built are extremely English in character this season, rich in texture and warm In color tones. The neutral shades, browns and tans and taupe, are now quite superseded by brighter colors and more delirate shades which are l>elnx shown with a great variety of mixtures Tan bas become a creamy beige, gray is less cold and browns are russet and glowing. Dellghtf-il greens are u%ed for some of these sport-* suits. For Outdoor Wear. Om especially chic suit Is made of a wool material to which the threads of sage green and soft pastel green are Interwoven with yellow In wide stripes. The skirt of this suit is severely plain, straight and narrow, and is ankle length. The little box coat is closed with a single tow of green bone buttons to the neck and fluffy orange fox forms the high collar, cuffs and a wide band straight around the bottom. As is common in many of the new sports suits, a- practical pocker Is concealed In each side of the jacket, under the fur. Heavy yellow doeskin .gnuntlets and shoes are worn with this outfit, and the h»t Is a small yellow felt with slightly rolling brim, having a scarf of green silk wound tight around the crown. - Some very attractive suits and wraps for the out-of-door games are made of large plaids that are now so popular and for which they are charmingly adapted. These are, of course, so flashy to themselves that not a stitch of trimming is required--on some scarcely a button is in evidence--but the use of fur is universal. The sports coats grow more end more conspicuously smart. They are square and straight, or flaring, or wrap around, aud the materials are highly appealing--downy, deep piled and light. In all the new autumn shades. Sports coats are quite different from the usual wrap for street wear, in which some of the most attractive models are tiered, and others are cut with a flaring bias flounce that is proving to be very well liked. They are made of the smoother, finer woven fabrics, mostly in plain colors, and ding cloae to the figure. These are the coats that will be worn equally with fur wraps for out-of-town weddings and dressy daytime occasions, town or country, and are especially suitable for the horse show, for which a more tailleUr style Is now correct. This la a season of Imported materials. The demand for rich fabrics has inspired every brunch of dress goods manufacture, and the market Is now stocked high with gorgeous weaves of wool, fine and coarse; silks, brocades and velvets--particularly velvets. Hundreds of yards of gold brocade, silver brocade, of metal combined with silk, luscious velvets. In superb patterns, and as many yards more in plain cloth of gold and silver, make a truly amazing Illustration of the extravagance of the present-day standards. { Next in prominence to the handsome bnx-ades of metal and silk are the velvets in every lovely color. Of these. Salome velvet Is the edition de luxe, with a sheen and fineness ^hst Is exqulsite to the touch snd the eye. It Is literally the rage foir softly draped gowns for afternoon and evening wear. Winsome Draped Models. In the drai>ed. slender style an evening gown of apple-green Salome velvet was drawn lightly about the figure --Just one piece, It appeared to be--1: graceful lines, caught at one side with a huge ornament of brilliants and green stones. One corner of the drapery was left long and trailing, giv Ing to the gown the appearance of having a train, though the regular separate train Is now quite passe. The neck of this dress was cat coo> servatlvely decollete In the V shape, that Is ever flattering, and quite low in the back. The velvet fell softly, very long about the feet at one side; and was slightly shorter at the other side. Ituby. jade, apple green, marigold. apricot, hydrangea. Ivory and, most chic of all, black velvet, are used for the most costly gowns done by leading designers for evening gowns. In which the velvet Is combined with metal and ailver flowera.

J.anvin has evolved one of the most distinguished models of the season. It jjs a dancing frock of fantastic type. iCisualized, It has a spreading birdtall suggestion made of gossamer. The ^foundation Is of white satin over which the overgown Is built. Circular flounce* of tulle In the most lovely shades of Violet, hydrangea blue, orange and green are gathered full upon a fan- Shaped skirt that is narrow in the front, beginning at the waistline and falling away In widening lines toward the middle of the gowu, sweeping the Boor. -- The bodice Is tow, square-cat and tight, with bands of the tulle In alt. the shades of the dress sewn overlapping In horizontal lines. Shoulder straps of plain tulle hold the bodice and a large yellow magnolia ts placed St the belt directly.in front. To balance this gamittire. streamers of blue ribbon two and one-half Inches wide •re attached at the back of the bodice neckline, one In the middle ait6 tin#'at each shoulder tailing straight over the tulie flounces. This model is repeated by Its author in ail black, a most fetching and serviceable affair for many occasions. Black Gaining Favor. Hlttck, jp fact, Is gaining In favor, as I the ruther bewildering array of colors is presented, and now that velvet Is So fashionable. It Is employed In the most striking creations. Another novelty In composition Is ol black velvet, and also has a deep i flounce of the same material about the skirt, shortened in front and caught with enormous ttat, conventionalized scarlet popples. One of these'flowers almost covers the frbnt of the bodice, and fwo others are sewn In regular spaces down the front of the dress. A jeweled band trimming passes over the shoulders for supporting straps and Is looped in long strands under the arms at each side of the figure. The long, loose bodice Is open at each side, showing a tightly drawn slip of white satin, and a combination of black, scarlet and white is startling In the extreme. KILLED IN BUNKHOUSE Ashland, Wis.--Indian superstition •nd a mystifying aloofness that resents paleface interference blocked the police of Ashland, Wis., recently In t^ieir investigation of the death of Emerson Hiftrntnn, nineteen years old, who was found shot to death in the old Chippewa village of Odanah.

Snyder Is in a serious condition from exposure, and is under the care of physicians. He was on the way to the summer place of A. K.
