skirt in the back, and flares In q
widening expanse OF material to the
front skirt hem. The collar point
back, in a couple Of velvet-faced, turns

showing above. 1t may be double
breasted all the way down the front,
or it may be double to ust below the
waist line, and below just lap over,
but not button. 1t IL much better to
have it button all the way down, for
now that the twenty button glove is
no longer worn, aud the low shoe is so
popular, the button-all-the-way ulster
fills long-felt want. A man who fas-
tens those lower button, which are SO
much out of your own reach, must get
on his knees to do it, and there are so
many things fellow can do besides
fastening listers when he is on his
knees that the garment affords new
method of subjugating the male man.
The listers cape has undergone
many changes, all in the line of jaunt-
mess. The dressiest cape is really
like pair of epaulettes, for 1t may be
said that the cape exists only as it
falls over the shoulders, and the ulster
is capeless at front and hack. Over
the shoulders it falls in three or four
great stiff, nuted folds, that begin to
set out at the collar and continue to
iut out to the very tip of the widest
point OF the full sleeves. Thus all the
launtiness of the cape is retained and
the beauty OF the trinity fitted figure
is In no way concealed. All OF which
only goes to show that the maiden of
'94 is crafty and wise Since it is an
ulster OF the autumn of "a which
makes this clear, the craftiness and

The Gould nature hates monop-
oly--some one else's monopoly. The
family has declared war on the Dia-
mond Match trust fand will fight
that hydra-headed monster = the
phrase is customary-by means of a
match factory which they have es-
tablished at Passaic, n. j. The
elder Gould, in his valued lifetime,
was sometimes compared to Lucifer
(after), but he never went into the
match business. Watering match
stock, we imagine, would be haz-
ardous undertaking Edwin Gould,
who is president of this new COM
pany, should have taken example
from the older and craftier hand.
But we wish him luck Of his under
taking, although with the memory of
the Vigilant- Britannia races and OF
certain exploits of one OF the young
women of the family in mind we are
bound to say that the Goulds are not
noted for their success at match
making.

That is an amusing story which
Lord Dufferin tells in his recent BIZ
ography OF his mother OF that charm
ing lady's first glimpse Of the elder
Disraeli. She knew the younger one;
and, "the elder Disraeli being as yet
more celebrated than his son, my
mother had expressed desire to see
him. But the introduction could not
be managed, inasmuch as at that
particular moment Mr.. Disraeli had
quarrcled with his father. One fine
morning, hswever he arrived with
his father in his right hand, soto
speak, In Mrs. Norton's drawing
room at Story's-Gate. Setting him
down on a chair, and looking at him
as IL he were some object of virtu OF
which he wanted to dispose. Mr.. Dis.
raeli turned round to my mother and
said, In his somewhat pompous voice:

to my father on two conditions. The
first was that he should come and see
you; the second, that he should pay

ing around the edges. Beneath each
OF the four-pocket tabs there may be
wee pocket or not, as the wearer
chooses, but the general custom is to
have at least one at the top. The plain
sleeves are stitched at the wrists, and
the short basque is rippled Mt the back.
The collar turns back in double revers,
leaving large opening in front. From
this and the shortness of the garment
1t might be argued that it is only for
early fall wear, but this winters Miss
Fashionable Is to be Of an athletic
turn, and she will defy the severest
weather in just such a jacket. What
she wears beneath to make up for
what this garment lacks as a protec-
,ti0n, is quite another matter. She will
affect a.sweeping stride and do deal
OF swinging her arms. Altogether
she'll look comfortable enough, and
that's her aim, 81.
The second example OF this type Is
more reminiscent OF past shapes: in
deed, it IS a hold over, but so freely
offered as to deserve a place In this
depletion. OF gray cloth and entirely
lined with old-rose satin, its sides and
back are fitted with ripple basques; il
has strap seams and hooks invisibly in
front beneath flap Of the cloth. The
fronts turn back In moderately large
revers joined to turned-down collar,
and each side has pocket initiated by
square flap. The garment Is machine
stitched all around the edges.
As will be seen from these descrip-
tions, coats are strictly tailor-made In
finish, with no lace and no furbelows,
the most that is allowed being the
facing OF the revers with velvet A
slight infringement of this severity is
the piping OF all edges with silk. A
notable example is a melton cloth coat
OF hunters green, piped and lined
with black silk, and buttoned with
two large green pearl buttons Mt the
bust. With the decrees posted for
plain coats, that usually simple gar
ment, the ulster. rises to the occasion

called for the immediate free coinage

turns at first indicated that the State
had gone Democratic by 10000. But
these figures as the Official counts were
made, rapidly dwindled until the DEM
ocrats do not claim more than $4,000,
while the POpulists declare that re-
turns from the country counties will
reduce the majority to not more than

ocratic counties in the State have been
carried by the Populists. and with but
few exceptions every county in the

LABRADOR, on the northeast cor
ner of this continent, has generally
been regarded as an immense bit of
valueless waste. Late information
from the expedition that has re-
turned from that territory reports 1t
one Of great value. There is rich
land that in localities is tit for culti-
walton. Besides, it has great lakes
and rivers, Astounding with the best
fish and an unlimited supply of game.
Immense herds Of caribou range in
the forests, and there are valuable
fur-bearing animals. Without doubt
these attractions will lead to settle
ment, despite the inhospitable eli
mate, though this last has probably
moderated from what it was when
this land was first visited.

Capes are the cool weather garments
which retain the fancifulness of mako
up that marked women's attire last
summer. Mantelets are abundant In
much the same forms which were fash.
ionable two years ago They only
reach the waist in back, but have long
tabs in front, style equally suitable
for slender and plump women. Some
times a yoke is added, finished with
lace or Jet fringe The latter also
adorns the tabs, which are pointed,
square or bias, as the fancy dictates.
Somewhat after this style is the
dressy shoulder cape which is the sub
ject of the fourth sketch. Of.pale tan
cloth. it consists Of n deep circular
founce attached TO a white cloth yoke
and plastron embroidered with tan
soutache braid. The seam is con-
cealed by large satin ribbon forming
loops in the corners and hanging down
in two long ends that touch the hem OF
the skirt. The standing collar is also
trimmed with loops, and the whole
wrap is lined with white watered
silk.
Considering the time of year, it is
surprising how the furs OF last season
hang on. These are found in such abun-
dance in the shop windows as to indi-
cate that the coming season s novelties
will be few. 1t may be because last
seasons stock did not sell well. II
seems reasonable to suppose that dur
ing last winters hard times purchasers
for new fur garments were few. But
good times are coming nearer every
day now. Ask the travelling men; they
will tell you that buying was never
more general, and their only qualifica-
tion is the small size of the individual
orders. Soon the times will be BOOM

Jacks Mistake.

Jack was a ventureSOme little chap.
One day he heard at school that Tom
Webb's boat had struck the rock
under the bridge and was breaking
to pieces. Jack wanted to see it, so
on his way home he turned of to the
railway bridge which crossed the,
little river just where it was full of
rocks. 1t was rough and dangerous
place. Creeping along, the little Toy
bent over until his head grew dizzy.
and il he hadn't jumped up quickly
he certainly would have fallen. And
something else would have happened,
too, il he had staid there two
minutes longer, for he had no sooner
got off the bridge than railway
train came rushing along that would
have crushed him to death In
moment. But Jack thought he had
done very smart thing. He ran
home and at the dinner table boosted
that he had been down on the rail-
way bridge and seen Tom Webb's
boat among the rocks and had just
time to get off when the express
came along.
After dinner father took the little
boy into his study. He looked so
very sober Jack began to feel that
something dreadful was coming.
Father sat down in his chair, drew
the boy up to his side and put his
arm around him. sack" said he,
"you thought you were very brave to-
day, didn't you? But going into
danger when there Is no need OF it is
no mark of courage. 1t Is rash and
wicked" Then papa stopped, and
Jack began to cry, but he never for
got the words of advice that fol-
lowed: my dear boy, never try how
far you can 60 in dangerous place.
Always keep on the safe side. "-Ex-

a wooden toy. The picture shows
how to assemble the pieces. The
soul of the whole, the manipulating
power, is the piece of wire in connec-
tion with the apple or potato.
The wire is bent in the form of
rectangle, one of the long sides being
left open. One end is driven into
the chest of the puppet, the other
into the apple or potato. When the
little figure is placed near the edge
of the table it remains standing firm
ly on its wooden pegs and does not
fall, even IL hunted from the front.
In fact these little raps and taps are
just what the puppet likes. They
give to it life and motion and the
capability to fulfill its mission. The
fact that the figure cannot be upset.
and performs its see saw motions, is
explained by the counterbalance
maintained by the apple.
The illusion Is made even greater
by fastening to the wire strip q
cardboard with teeth like a saw.
The secret Of the mechanism, /. e..
the counter balance of the apple,
need not be revealed, and, IL it is not,
the trick is surprise to spectators
beyond the age of childhood, especial
ly IL they are not well up in physics. /,
To children it affords endless amuse-
ment. Other puppets can be made
in similar way and on the same
principle OF the counter balance with
variations.

A BOOM IN BUILDING.

1t has been stated that the inclination of
Washington capitalists is more to develop the
possibilities of their properties at present
thai would appear on the surface; that capi-
tai is willing, but the collection Of debts has
been hard and slow, and that many intended
investments must therefore be delayed. This
condition of affairs is very much to be re-
GREETED; but unquestionably several circum-
stances make it likely that a renewal of
building activity in this city is not unlikely.
In the first place, the general process of iqui-
dation has brought US down to hard pan TO
use most apt expression of the street,, or al
most there. Confidence must surely return,
slowly perhaps, but surely. Congress may
not dispose of the Wilson bill promptly. The
financial question cannot be considered set
tied. But the business and industrial situa-
ton must gradually improve by the very force
Vf circumstances. Much money is lying idle.
1t is wise that it should seek investment. and
real estate, building, is, as formerly, the safest
avenue outward. We look for a steady re-
vival Of the building industry in this city
not quick one, but steady one; and THE
TIMES believes that investors will make no
mistake If they count upon the heartiest coop
Grafton of the building trades.
