IF il proves genuine. the last missing coin
of the United States dollar OF 1904 ha, been
discovered in northern Montana. For thirty
years coin gaiherers and museums h ave had
standing fer of from So 900 10 $40 900 for
the coin. There are but ioui pieces Of this
issue in the world. l was first brought to
light in Teton county few days ago, W hen
Billy Seymour. a bartender at Cnateau,
VAS counting his cash. His eye caught
sight OF an odd-lookiDg dollar that had been
taken in for diuks. S-ymour took the coin,
pu ting an ordinary dollar in the drawer.
The following day he exhibited it TO some
friends, among whom WAS one who recog-
nized the dollar of 1904 Iu a short time
very man who had passt dollar over
S'ymour's bar that day came to claim the
dollar, having passed it by mistake"
seymour refused TO give 1t up. Several
suits are threatened to recover possession.
There is little reason to doubt the genu-
inent ss Of the coin.

that follows the cuff line, the edge of
the Jacket, collar, etc. Especially is
the following of the edge of the jacket
unwise, if that. edge comes below the
belt line, for then the figure appears to
be cut. On the other hand, If the edge
of the skirt Is merely simulated by
braiding, and this braiding wanders on
down the front Of the dress or extends
down the side seams, then length Is
given. A braiding at the hem Of the
skirt, at the belt and at the collar gives
pretty effect by emphasizing the three
narrowing circles.
With banding of velvet. the case is
sufficiently different to make edging
safe. Here the designs are seldom
over-elaborate, and the fancy for this
style Of ornamentation has not yet
come to such pass that 1t Is often en-
ployed too frequently. In the bodice of
this picture it was used with fine re-
suits. The velvet was black, and the
goods was Russian green cloth. In the
center of the blouse was narrow white
cloth vest, the revers and high collar
were of the same stuff, and the cheni-
settle was green taffeta finished with
pretty lace jabot.
Liberty velvets and velours are so
much used nowadays that one wonders
If any one goes to the expense of silk
velvet. All the better velours are made
with silk nap and where perfection Of
fall in long folds is not required the
material presents every bit as good an
appearance as does silk-black velvet.
OF course the wool back of the velours
inclines that material to clumsiness, but
is no drawback to its use for cloaks
Liberty velvet is supposed to be on a
Isle back and the result is a material
that very closely follows all the char
acteristics Of silk velvet. So at last all
of us can look velvety, if we wish to.

John Wanamaker of Philadelphia is
one of the most famous and successful
business men Of the country, and his
fame and success show that he has
rect principles He was interviewed
the other day on a subject which is
most important to all business men
whose success depends on the notice
and the patronage Of large number
Of people. He was asked if it pays to
advertise when times are hard. when
the times are hard and people are not
buying" remarked Mr.. Wanamaker, sig
the very time that advertising should
be the heaviest. You want to get the
people in to see what you have to sell,
and you must advertise to do that.
When the times are good they come of
their own accord. But believe in adj
vertising all the time. have tried all
kinds Of advertising and have spent a
great deal of money in posters and
bills, but I gave that up long ago and
think newspaper advertising is by far
the best" Mr.. Wanamaker was asked
if he could see any immediate results
from such advertising, and replied that
he could, instancing the mornings when
his store in New York or Philadelphia
has advertised a job lot of bicycles or
other things. There is invariably a
long line of people waiting outside for
the doors to open.
Mr.. Wanamaker hits the mark. Ad-
vertising will draw trade in dull times
and it will increase it in good times.
And there is no advertising SO effective
as steady and prominent advertising
in good newspaper. Many business
men who have wasted much money on
various attractive advertising schemes
are finding this out

DIAMONDS AS DOMESTIC NECEs-
SARIES,

There is a law in Iowa which makes
the wife equally liable for debts con-
tracted for necessaries with the hus-
band. A jeweller sold to a man named
McNair diamond shirt-stud, for (which
the latter gave his note. The creditor
sued on the note making Mrs. McNaiI
co-defendant under the statute. She
demurred on the ground that dia-
mond stud was not an expense for
which she was liable. The court below
sustained the demurrer. The case was
carried to the supreme court, and on
Saturday Judge Ladd rendered a deci.
sion which was concurred in by the
whole court except Judge Robinson
Judge Ladd held that:
"The make of the shirt or the taste
of the wearer may be such as to re-
quire some kind of button or stud. II
the inexpensive pearl were used, no one
would suggest making it family
charge. But it might be as much out
of place on the shirt front of a person
or FASHION or fortune as a diamond In
that of one who earns his bread In the
sweat of his face"
Under this decision the question OF
ornament, not utility is raised. The
inexpensive pearl would answer the
unitarian purpose equally as we'll. Or
nament, then, becomes a necessity to
the rich. That is the gist of the courts
observation-disclosures Times.

San Francisco's anti-theater hat ordi-
nancehas been in force for five months.
It's penalty is to be visited upon the
theater manager who permits any per-
son to wear hat during the perform
ance. For a time the ordinance was
enforced, Attention was directed to it
by notice on the theatre programme,
and any woman wearing a hat was
notified by an usher to remove it, or
so to the box Office, where the price Of
her seat would be refunded. Complaint
Is now made by the San Francisco
newspapers that the law is becoming a
dead letter, the most conspicuous Of
tenders against it being the so-ca1led
leaders of society and fashion. At the
presentation of italian opera obstruc-
tive hats were common, and the man
ager, as well as the policeman in at
tendance, was apparently Indifferent.
Inc manager explained that his rule
was to take no action except on the
complaint of some ungalIant man. In
contrast visit to the vaudeville thea
tres showed scrupulous observance of
the ordinance.
