other trifles that even q tailor wouldn't
notice, but nothing radical. The silk
lined sleeveless Inverness cape is the cor

Is the more formal and the favorite
with really well-clad men. Rough faced
vicuna is good fabric, with trousers of
fancy cashmere or worsted. Patent
leather shoes, always, go with full or
formal dress. Coats will fit better than
they ever did before, and by that
mean that they will follow the lines OF
the figure. The proper overcoat for
demi-dress is the long straight, close
fitting Chesterfield, long enough to cover
the Prince Albert, and made in the same
motive, in rough faced goods.
"The business mans overcoat is a
double or single breasted box. The sin
gle breasted is better, because the lapels
and collar, which is velvet, of the double
breasted coat have to be very large.
The covert coat is useful for informal
wear, strap seams, loose front, tight
back, big patch pockets. Quite horsey

and Their Formation.
THE LINE OF ARCH

Tomorrow nights bicycle parade under
the auspices of the League OF American
WEeelmen. promises TO be picturesque
ard an imposing demonstration. Estimates
are made in some quarters that there will
be more than three thousand bicycles in

atey, some grotesquely, and carrying two

ments have been placed, has stated that
from returns so far made, he feels assured
that there will be in line at least 800 local
Endeaverers. OF the number of visitors
who will participate, he can make no GER
tain estimate, for he cannot learn how
many will remain until tomorrow evening
In his opinion the Christian Endeavor d.
vision will make good showing, and there
may possibly be over one thousand dele
gates on wheels.
Through the courtesy of Mr. W. H. Hen
shaw. prominent local bicyclist Mr. Muir
states that he has 400 Chinese lanterns at
his disposal, which he will distribute gra-
tutoasiy to Endeavor delegates who NAV

Her Hands Burned.

Considerable excitement was caused at
2:30 o'clock this afternoon at the corner of
11th and e streets northwest An alarm
was sounded and fire engine and reel re-
sponded. 1t appears that Margaret Hess
Ter, daughter Of Katherine Hessler who
keeps q restaurant on the corner of 18th
and f streets. was cleaning clothes with
gasoline, when the fluid ignited burning
both her hands and wrists to a consider
able degree. The burns were very painful
but not serious. Miss Hessler was removed
to an adjoining house, where, physician
was called and soon relieved the girl of her
suffering. 1t was very fortunate that as
sistance WAS near, as the young lady's
dress caught fire.

with the committee Of '96 in declaring their
positive belief that there are many thou
sands more delegates at the convention
of 90 from far-aWay states, territories
and provinces than have been present at
any previous International gathering.
While the weather during the convention
week has perhaps not been quite as de-
Hghtful as some Of the EndeavorerS an
ticipated. yet 1t has not been any more
unpleasant than the weather bureau has
furnished at the conventions for the past
three years.
