the memory revert5 to the story of Sir
Reynard and the grapes which roasted
high.
Capes hang lower on fortunes tree.
and, happily, within the reach of
many; happily. because with the big
sleeves still lingering, a cape is the
handiest kind of an outer garment;
lower, because there are many, many
sorts, and in all degrees of expensive
ness. The first oneShown is made of
fire wooden cloth, hangs in double box
pleats and is very stylish model. The
upright full shoulder capes are like
wise trimmed. The second example is
double cape at the shoulders and is
made of mode-colored cloth trimmed
with Alaska sable. Its hem. fronts and
the edges of both short capes as well
as the collar are edged with fur. A
third cape model is shown. and as
sketched was made of b3tt'e-green
cheviot trimmed with mink. The cut
of the collarette is unusual, fori forms
collar and Ell aulettes and extends down
the fronts. Its edges are fur-trimmed
throughout.
Fur is used as trimming for all kinds
of cloth. AS rule in capes, jackets,
and coats it appears as edge finish and
in some cases this finish suggests a fur
lining. OF late the craze for effects in
braiding has induced the use of fur in
very narrow bands. This seems a
wicked waste, but, on the other hand,
odds and ends of fur are made into this
fur bl aiding and once accepted it is
very effective. Gigot sleeves of seal
are sold for wear over cloth sleeves.
The cost of such is slight, and an i'm
mediate effect of elegance is secured.
Collare ties and cuffs of fur make avery
simple cloth coat handsome for an oc-
CASTOR, and this has led to the sale OF
these accessories separately. 1t is per-
haps wiser to get them in this way.
The designs for cloth in coats are
often carried out exactly in fur, and
this serves to show that the wearer is
so rich she can use fur just as freely as

an advantage. The really new things in
fur are the little ABo'sun" jackets.
These are made of seal, fit as trinity as
riding habit, and close down the
front with double row of buttons set
close together, and the same distance
apart all the way down. They are cut
short all around, with the least little
dip to the front, making a slight point
below the waist there. They are

The sleeves are baggy all the way from
the shoulder, and are cut in a long
rounded point that comes well over the
hand. This point is not over the back
of the hand, but leaves the hand free
at the little finger and covered to al
most the tip of the thumb. This cut
secures the showing of the handsome

SOME pretty strong talk was in
dulee9 In recently by Judge Scott, of
the Omaha Neb., bench. The occa-
sion was a gambling case before the
court, and in reference to the subject
Judge Scott strikes from the shoulder
in the following fearless manner:
This has got to stop or the Criminal
Courts have got to stop, and / am in
favor of stopping gambling. Why is
this done? 1t is done because we
will put bad people in office. The
chief executive OF this city, who has
violated his sworn duty, should be
impeached and branded as an i'm
peached scoundrel in office. / say
this in strong language, and 1 hope
will be understood. / only wish

press my feelings"

At the southwest corner of Sixth

roOmy three-story brick dwelling
with high attic, structure Of the
genuine old Quaker City type-green

THE favorite weapon of the anarch-

THE favorite weapon Of the anarch-
list is the dynamite bomb. 1T Is his
chosen agent for the destruction Of
everything in the nature of law, or
der and civil government. When
ever a bomb is hurled at the agents
of any form of government, the hand
of the anarchist is recognized at
once. The bomb explosions in the
theater at Barcelona and in the
French Chamber of Deputies at Paris
have been heard around the world.
The answer will be more stringent
measures against anarchy, and swift
or punishment of anarchists for their
horrible deeds. Society need not re.
sort to the merciless methods of the
anarchists to protect itself against
them. Prompt arrest, impartial
trial and just punishment of all con.
victed offenders Of the law will keep
anarchy in check. 1t is the too fire.
quent escape of criminals of all kinds
from deserved punishment that en-
courages the growth Of anarchy. His
rawlings and threats against civil gov
eminent and his deeds OF indiscrim-
mate violence indicate that the an.
archist is mailman. For the pro-
lection of life and property society
must, therefore, keep every known
anarchist under the strictest police
surveillance.

to the minds of many therefore, new
designs are appearing constantly. The
model in the first illustration is one
that has gained general favor. 1t is
made OF magenta melton and fur
trimmed. It's large spreading collar is
composed of Russian fur and the skin
extends to edge the fronts. A narrow
band of it, too, finishes the sleeves.
This coat is tight; fitting in back and
loose in front.
In many of the new models which
have not yet been generally worn,
skirts are done away with altogether
and military effects are revived.
Double-breasted Jackets fiji in trim mil
itary fashion to the hips, and are made
of heavy dull cloth in rough finish. A
feature of the double-breasted effect is
that the two rows of buttons run close
together at the collar and waist and
spread over the bust, thus adding to
the effect of roundness of figure.
Jackets are also shown in cloth fit
ting closely to the waist. A round
skirt fitting without fullness is added,
reaching lust over the hips and ex-
tending all around to the front, where
the corners are cut away sharply almost
to the hips. A pointed vest that ex-
tends at the top from shoulder to
shoulder and that narrows to point
at the joining Of the edges of the
skirt is en- the bodice part. Such coat
is carried out in brown, the vest being
deep red velvet closely braided with
narrow gilt braid. Collars and cuffs
match. The sleeves are much modi-
fed gigot, with epaulettes OF velvet
treated to match the vest. Gold but
tons are sometimes added, and the coat
fastens under the vest. The skirts may
be lined with red velvet. and the cor
ners, instead of icing cut away, may
turn back to show the velvet as in the
continental coat. 1t will be observed

asiue entirely for something new. Ii
is notably thus in coats. Not long ago
it looked as If the multiplicity OF skirts
and capes was becoming serious men
ace to the comfort and beauty Of all
outer garments, but the new models
show that this tendency has been
promptly arrested. Coats are now
shown with full skirts atteched TO the
round bodice, and the skirts are ir-
variably single and not extraordinarily
full. One she ulder cape, hardly more
than a collar, is worn, usually OF the
pattern which has high collar made
in one piece with the cape. Such coats
are of cloth in all dark shades and
usually in smooth goods, the cape and
collar edged with u dark fur. This,
and the same design braided, consti-
tutes the coat which will be the popu-
lar one for the late winter and spring.
1t is just this element of popularity,
however, that constitutes an objection
