med, at least those made of velvet or silk.
Cloth capes are not SO heavily ornamented.
As an intermediate wrap between the
cape and the close jacket many half long
garments are seen this winter Of velvet or
silk. They are loose in part, but fitted to
the figure at the back, and have large
sleeves in the pelerine style. These man
ties descend half way down the skirt, and
are lavishly trimmed with ostrich feathers,
fur, ribbon and embroidery. Some are
gathered into an embroidered yoke. 9th
ers have simulated bolero.
A certain number of velvet jackets are
seen, but in the majority of cases cloth en-
joys the preference. These cloth jackets
are often made very rich and elegant with
embroidery, fine braidlng and similar
trimmings. Russian and oriental embroid-
cries in lively colors are largely employed
on cloth, serving for revers, collars, pocket
flaps, boleros and belts for blouscs.
Little blouse jackets having belt and a
round or slashed basque are feature Of
the season, and are trimmed with en-
broidery, passementerie fur and galloon.
They have valois collar or are cut in
tabs the lining being of light or bright
silk OF satin.
A picture is given which shows a jacket
wrap Of black velvet. 1t is straight in
front, but close fitting at the back 1t is
lavishly embroidered with jet and has jet
embroidered epaulets, bordered with gray
astrakhan The collar is also edged with
astr,khan. The capelike sleeves are large,
and are lined, as is the entire garment,
with old gold satin. The hat is of Russian
green velvet trimmed with black ostrich

section of the territory, and yet that val
ley has not been more favored by nature
than the country surrounding Santa Fe.
sugar factory located in this city
would prove a benefit in many, many
ways. Land which is now of no prsoti-
cal use to anyone would become valuable
and find ready sale; real estate in Santa
Fe would advance in value; capital would
seek investment in various. enterprises,
| and, last but not least, would be the steady
employment of the men who are now
idle the greater part of the year. Result
ing from these changes would be an in
crease in business of all kinds, and every
body in the city would share IN the pros
perity.
As location for beet sugar factory
Santa Fe cannot be excelled by any other
point in the southwest. Two lines of
railroad furnish adequate shipping fa-
cilities to the; cities of the north, east
south and west; thousands of acres of
raw land admirably adapted to growing
beets lie convenient to water and roads;
water for irrigation is not lacking, while
the experiments made the past season
demonstrated beyond doubt that beets
of unexcelled richness in sugar can be
raised with but little trouble and exp pense.
compared with the returns to be derived
from them. What more favorable con 1i-
tions could be asked?
The situation resolves itself into one
fact: Santa Fe must have beet sugar
| factory. The way to secure that factory
is to interest capital, and the only way to
do that is for the businessmen and prop
erty owners to make an united effort, and
the rest will be easy enough.
