IIOUSANDS of travelers hopefully seek Venice yearly, their imaginations long fed by the painters and poets who have pictured the beaiitiful city in hues and terms which, though it may be true to their own highly cultivated senses, tend to bring no little disappointment to the ordinary beholder. For Venice, but too often, proves to the latter not quite the fairy Venice of his visioning, his chief disappointment being, perhaps, its lack of those glowing colors which ho has been led by books and -picture

'jn“A

galleries to expect. And nowadays this falling •hort of his Ideal is increased by the vulgarizing effect of the penny steamboat —the vaporetto, \vlth which the Venetians seem so contented — that sets hiis gondola rocking us it passes, and stirs up that in the sleeping canal waters which had better been let lie; to say nothing of the motor-boat, which Is threatening to do for the gondola what the “taxi” is doing for our hansoms at heme. If such a traveler leaving Venice with a sense of disappointment, let him by no means depart till he has visited the fisher island of Burono; for, it he but choose his day and hour well, he will assuredly take home with him a satisfying picture) of one spot at least, glowing with color and teeming with a picturesque life, that has outrun ibis most hopeful Imaginings. There ?an be few more pleasant experiences on a fine, warm afteAioon in spring or autumn—in early May or mld-September for- choice—than to take a gondola, with two good rowers, and win one’s first sight of Burano. A gondqla it must be, not the vaporetto, that one may arrive alone or with a well-chosen companion, and.' not as one amongst a crowd of chattering, sight-seeing snapshotters. The way to Eurano takes one through about six miles of lagoon landscape to the eastward of Venice. The island is situated about five miles northeast of Venice, in northern Italy. The chief Industries of the people are market gardening, building of boats and fishing; the women are employed principally in lace-making. The island of Torcelle also belongs to Burano. It is located on an adjacent isle and the principal attractions that ' would interest travelers are the two museums of antiquities and the cathedral, which was built in the seventh century and was rebuilt during the year 100 S. This cathedral contains many valuable mosaics. It is a populous little place, with a busy community of fisherfolk and lacemakers. In the ‘struggle for existence it has fared better than its Colder and once more prosperous neighbors, Mazzorbo and Torcello; the former it has, in fact, .annexed by means of a long, arching, wooden bridge, which, seen from the low seat of a gondola, looks like that on a willow-pattern plate. Approaching the Island, one may find one’s gondola passing or passed by increasing numbers of fishing i boats racing each other home to Burano; finely bronzed, statuesque men stand bending lustily to their oars, their half-clad forms showing ifiany a fine play and molding of muscle. The sails of these boats are of delightful color-ing-saffron and sienna, orange, red and burnt umber —and are often emblazoned with fantastic designs, or with stars, flowers or portraits of patron saints. Then the island, with its leaning campanile, appears before one, its many-tinted walls basking tn the late sunlight. Approaching it on its westward side one glides opening of a canal that Intersects the island, and a first glance it reveals a scene that must live long in the memory of any lover of movement and color. The quay sides are lined with fishing boats, newly home, many with their gorgeous sails still swaying Idly and glowing in the level rays of the late afternoon sun. Sunburnt, earrlnged men are heaping pl’*® B o' glittering fish before the cottage doors, helped by the women, who add still more color "to the scene with the shawls and kerchiefs ■worn over their heads. These most becoming garments are, however, not as a rule very brilliantly hued, but of mauve, fawn color, or a lawny *« d > t ll ® stronger colors being reserved for

the bodices. Shoals of brown children laugh and dance about the shining heaps, thrusting out, here and there, little bare feet to touch and make leap some strangely shaped, brilliantly hued fish. All is swift movement, glowing colors and vivacious sound, the whole picture backed by the cottage walls, which themselves display many a soft, weattJer-stained tint, for the Buranelll are fond of washes of pink, light green and primrose color. There I first met old Pietro, with his crisp, white curls, ruddy bronze, and merry laugh, despite his ninety years and many seasons of toil in the boats, still cheerfully making his daily cast of nets. Old Nonna, his wife, was herself only a few years younger, but possessing a head of thick, wavy white hair, of which any woman twenty years her junior might have been proud. Always busy was she, mending, cooking, cleaning, and always, it seemed, happy, with a smiling word for every passer-by. There, too, dwelt little Adelie, their granddaughter, an incarnation of youthful loveliness and delight in life. Merry, gracious, tender-heart-ed Adelie, with your great brown eyes, tossing curls, and flash of teeth, with your dancing feet and quick, helpful hands, how many pictures and memories you gave us, little one! I recall how when first we landed from our gondola, and the bandit horde of village children came flying down the shore, leaving their games to crowd around us, with their cries of “Soldi, soldi, signore!” you, like a proud little princess, remained behind, by the ruined wall, tying your bunch of rosy flowers. Yet once you did beg; it was when you took us to see that poor, wasted little friend of yours, sitting at her cottage door, bending so frailly over her pillow lace; then you took her small, thin hand and drew it toward me, whispering a shy “Soldi” in my ear, and I felt proud of my little friend and her way of begging. And again I see you, with your young rogue of a brother, Beppo, putting out In the small, light gondola—sandola, did you call it?—one May evening at moonrise, to take the same little friend’s bunch of pink Judas-blossom across the lagoon and lay it before the shrine of the Fisherman’s Madonna, that stood up solitary out of the shadowy waters, there to offer up your simple prayer for her recovery. The Burandelll are an Independent spirited, hardy, strongly marked race, but their dialect is one of a caressing softness; slurring and halfsinging their words, they dwell on the vowel sounds till the consaaants well-nigh disappear, and

each sentence ends In a sort of crooning diminuendo. One is loath to leave the little island and row home at last. But the lagoon is quieting down to a pearly gray in the evening light, though still flushed to westward with d faint rose, which touches also the far-away peaks of the Euganean hills. Presently the moon rises behind Murano, and ere long a welcoming of reflected lamplights shines on the water, from Riva and Piazetta, and soon Danielli’s landing stage receives one again. But that first glimpse of the brilliant, vivid scene in the fisherman’s canal at of the healthy, handsome old fapes and the laughing young ones, will haunt a grateful memory for many a day. And Adelie herself may still be found jthere, only two years older, and still, one may hope, wreathing her flowers, tending her old folk afad her little friend, working busily at her lace, and affording, in her gracious being, for many a disillusionment of travel. A NOTE OF SYMPATHY Immediately on knowing of a d6ath in the family of a friend one should show fbnnal recognition of the fact, even though the Acquaintance be slight. Only if one is really an old friend does one send a note or go .to the house, but unless some attention is paid "to the affliction those wh6 are undergoing it have no of knowing whether the others from whom / they have not heard are aware of it. ! To post one’s visiting card,/or, better still, to leave it at the house in person'is the most formal way one may do. Something may be written on the card or not, as one cb/doses; but, generally speaking, if one writes at’ all the form take that of a note and hot a line on a card, which may always be considered casual, saving the bother of a note. The; card, which should be accompanied also by that/ of the husband when a woman is married, Is acidpessed to the widow or widower, as the case mapr be, or to the parents when the death has been Ijhat of a child. Flowers which may be (sent are addressed to the head of the house ai£d visiting cards are placed in the box. It is pot good form to send them when funeral notices request that flowers shall be omitted. If one is keenly desirous of expressing a sympathy which is felt, one may wait until after the funeral services and send flowers to the person most deeply, bereaved, as the wife, or widow. Only at that time are blossoms received by an individual; that is, any sent before a funeral are supposed to ibe for use at the services and are not retained ,in the house. Those sent several days afterwiard are undoubtedly meant for the use of the individual to whom they are addressed. i It is a very pretty thought to show such an attention a week or so after a funeral, for those in affliction are more than iapt to feel that their grief is quickly forgotten by their friends, who are all sympathy at first. It is not necessary that any note shall accompany the box, but the recipient is required to sand a note of thanks, written either by herself or another) member of the family or a friend for her. I

FASHIONS FOR FALL COSTUME OF PROPERLY DRESSED WOMAN DESCRIBED. Hat Is a High-Crowned, WideBrimmed Beaver, Suit of Broadcloth in Semi-Empire Style— Wide Fur Scarf and Muff. It is impossible to give a better resume of the fall fashions in general .han by taking as text one modish woman properly gowned. From%hat to skirt such a woman Illustrates admirably all the newest and smartest tendencies. The hat first. Then new highcrowned and wide-brimmed beaver, much wider in the back than in the front, where the brim is lowered as in the steeplechase hats of another season. The hat itself is blue-black, but the lining is of old-rose satin, a feature that is to be marked in autumn millinery. Not only hats, however, but suits also are to be lined with silk or satin of strongly contrasting color—a sort of reaction from the somber shades that In general fashion has imposed upon us. The willow plume, of a slightly brighter old rose, is arranged rather far back on the right side, in the upstanding military effect that we have renamed the chantecler. There is no other trimming°on the hat, the effect aimed at being rather striking simplicity than ornate elaboration. The suit is of plum-colored broadcloth, cut In a semi-empire style, with lines closely conforming to the figure, with a swallow-tail coat whose waist line Is higher than we have been accustomed to seeing of late. The sleeves are full-length and rather loose, widened in sailor fashion at the cuffs and ornamented with a row of five large white pearl buttons. These buttons are repeated at the side of the skirt, which is narrow in cut without being tight, and Itself is clinging and almost trailed at the bottom. The coat is double-breasted and fastened by these same pearl buttons. White, black and smoked pearls are to be very much seen on button counters this fall. ” The wide fur scarf and muff are admirable examples of the autumn fashions in furs. Gray shares with white and black the favor of the fur-wearers (human, not animal’), and where the nature of the fur will not allow of

MILLINERY FOR THE GIRLS Three Dainty Hats That'Are Suitable for Children and Are Easily Made. Three dainty hats for our children are here illustrated; They are quite simple in design, and with a little ordinary care can be easily made at home. The first (No. 982a) Is of spotted white muslin, trimnied with soft satin ribbon in a pale shade of mauve. This Is twisted round crown, and a bunch of the same ribbon is placed at the \ \ \ ' \ / / /F 1/ / l'W / left side. The hat is made on a white wire frame, with the muslin gathered quite full, and corded on each wire. The next little hat (No. 983a) is fashioned of burnt straw, and particularly easy to trim. Ribbon or chiffon is swathed round the crown, and would look well in blue, with a bunch of pink rose-buds on either side. The quaint little bonnet (No. 984a) will, I am sure, appeal to all mothers who like to see their tiny maids looking dainty and sweet The crown is of white muslin or silk, gathered into a plain band of the same material, and trimmed with a broad frill of lace br embroidery.

very wide effects, the strips are sewn together in striped effect. Another hint to the wise: Line your muffs with white satin, for white gloves are to be very popular and they are easily soiled. Another distinctly fashionable touch is the single rose, real or artificial, fastened into the fur scarf, just where it crosses, and contrasting harmoniously with the color of the costume. The craze for artificial flowers of rice paper and silk tissue continues, and roses are among the prime favorites. It will be noted that our dainty lady wears high, buttoned shoes, of clothtopped kid, and that her separate blouse is of a messaline silk, in color midway between the plum of her suit and the old rose of her pluhie. Thus equipped, our maiden mpy g« forth triumphantly into the v/orld oj fashion. As we have said, she repre> sents the sum total and the epitome of the Paris styles for autumn. IN WHITE BATISTE. ■ i W 11l 9 pl ' 111 This dainty waist is of white batiste with embroidered dots. The yoke is of applique lace and extends well over the shoulders. The shoulder straps are of the material ornamented with passementerie buttons. The sleeves form puffs at the bottom drawn In by little ribbons which are knotted on the outside.

WAIST LINE IS GOING UP Return of the Empire Style Presaged by the Gowns Seen at the Paris Races. Waist lines were up and now are down; but with imperishable exuberance they are going up again. This is the latest style in Paris, the Wall street of fashion. In other words, the . empire styles are returning, and those of us whe still have our high-waisted gowns of last year would better bide our time and wait for their return to favor. This return is presaged in a thousand ways—by the very short jackets with coat suits at the Paris races, by the boleros of different color from their shirts, by the high girdles caught almost under the arms, and the full, long skirts that fall from these girdles by the fashionable frill itself, which is getting shorter and shorter, until it is becoming the actual empire mode. Black velvet is seen everywhere on hats and shoes, in fact the grand chic is to wear black velvet shoes with white embroidered muslins and lawns. Even the sunshades are in black velvet, as we saw them at the last Auteuil meetings. Nattier blqe brocaded silk, made in the style of dress worn in the middle ages, with somewhat voluminous skirts and a thick cord in blue and gold pass, ed below the fullness some! distance from the waist, Venetian point trims the majority of these brocaded evening toilets and pearls are worn, as usual, by all who are fortunate enough to possess them. Pearls and brocade! How happily they seem to unite! ■ Satin Suits for Fall. If the college girl is beginning to choose her autumn outfit now, it would be well for her to brush up on what a few of the prevailing modes will bring. Satin is cropping out again in tha tailor-mades and is used liberally for ornamentation. In black and navy blue the soft sheeny fabric leads. Short skirts, little coats that are nearly tight-fitting, and generous jabots of lace are Important constituents of these costumes. Some bit of color here or there makes their most serious trimmings. A few buttons and a little strapping usually serve for the entire finish of the coat. * A bit of rare old lace Is a wonderful brightener for a satin suit. Satin costs little more these dayj than handsome wools or even cottons, and they are the very acme of smart, ness for afternoon suits. ,

[ THE GENTLE SHEEP AS A RAPID FIRE MONEYMAKER. — An enormous nujrber of sheep ■ coming into the Union Stock yards, ; Chicago, which are being sent there by Western grazers on account of I the scarcity of feed in that section > of the country, and which must bs sold at buyers' prices. The states of Michigan, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, are well provided with good feed and an opportunity of this kind, if offered by one of ths great dry goods houses or department stores of Chicago, would deplete threequarters of the homes of that city of Its womenkind Inside of half an hour I after the notice appeared. All they would want would be time enough to i throw a few clothes over them; soma wouldn’t even stop to put “rats” in their hair, thousands would forget the “powder," none would stop to “paint,” but every “father’s daughter” of them would make a “B” line to hubbies’ pants, and extract therefrom without leave, license or consent, all that therein was to be found in the shape of cash, and then tumble over each other to be first on the spot. Lots of these women would buy much more than they required, and would quietly hold ovet their purchases until the close of the sale, and then let loose their surplus stock upon their less wide awake friends, and reap thereby a harvest of "sheckels” which we ntay take for glinted would be at once returned to the trouser pockets of their_husbandS while those gentlemen still slept. That is the woman of it. j ' Let us take a lesson from her thrifty and honest example. Extracting from the pockets of a slumbering •pouse, under such circumstances is not robbery, it is only bpvrowlng, and more than that, it is borrowing on account <of that most beautiful of all female characteristics —- thoughtful consideration—She did not wish to j disturb the peaceful rest of her softly ) Bleeping consort. Sheep feeding at this particular time, and after the season of Western drought just experienced, will be most profitable to those who are forj tunate enough to have jthe feed, and ! such as have, can in (he course of j sixty days turn over their money in ) Buch a satisfactory way as will add ' very largelj' to their bank accounts. There is nothing in sight at the ! present moment, that offers a fetter and safer investment than the pur- ; chase of these sheep, in numbers that each buyer can accommodate, and nothing that offers so speedy and so : certain a return.
