ing her brain to know what will DO
worn next fall. Viewing the matter IN
this light, the New York Sun, with
commensurate thoughtfulness for the
weaker EEK, proceeds to furnish some OF
the desired Information us follows:
Already the autumn tailor made
gown has appeared. An authority who
has just returned from London and
Paris says that brcadcloth of IN OK
quisito quality is in great demand for
early fall gowns and that it will play
. prominent part in fashions domain
all winter. In point Of color light gray
holds its own for drossy gowns, and
castor effects prevail for street wear
and Tor general use Us fashionable nu-
tumn resorts. Blue Is cold color and
will not be used in all Of its varying
shades as it has been since early spring
The conventional blues, reds. greens
and browns will, of course, be in vogue
A feature Of tho now materials Is the
lightness of their weight. which manu-
faoturers have succeeded III procuring
without loss Of body. 1t is impossible
to give tho proper cut to IL tailor made
costume unless the stuff of which it is
made has considerable body.
The skirts of tho introductory tailor
made gowns are unlinod. Authorities
say that it is impossible to give them
the proper set with even the thinnest OF
silk lining, rs they must cling skin
tight to the hips and end In fanliko
flare at the bottom. So far most of them
arc merely faced up a few inches with
silk, and all are worn with fluffy silk
petticoat.
When tho lace coat made its first ap-
pearance short time ago, woman was
disposed to regard it as q beautiful but
rather useless possession. One form OF
this coat rounds down to the underarm
seam like a bolero and Is close In the
back, extending to the hem Of the skirt,
giving princess effect. Tho most popu-
lar design, however, is shown In the
picture. It rounds away from the front
to very decided basque, which In out
line is strikingly like mans dress
coat. This garment has proved straw.

Merchants Versus Express Companies

Merchants Versus Express COmp0n1eS
The suit proposed to be brought
through the Merchants association OF
New York against the express COM
panies will determine an important
question which has arisen under tho
war tax law. The country from one
end to the other will find its interests
affected. According to the wording Of
the law, the express company on receiv-
ing a parcel must affix and cancel the
stamp, but at whose expense no definite
statement determines The carrier COM
,,panies assume that the stamp cost shall
be paid by the merchants. and refuse to
accept business otherwise. Law Is sup"
posed to be the embodiment IF common
sense, and tho evident intent is the rule
!. by which such matters must be con-
strued The philosophy of taxation
seems to be that business pays for the
privilege Of making money in its special
fashion and under the machinery OF
work which it has devised for that pur.
pose. X receipt for parcel is merely
: the acknowledgment Of the express
company tina: the property has been in
trusted to its hands and the acceptance
Of responsibility therefor. That is .
part of the essential machinery Of the
express business. It does not belong,
one would naturally conclude, to the
essential work and methods Of the mer'
chant. II this analysis Is sound, the
cost OF the stamp should rest on the
carrier company. The decision when
given will involve many hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars in the outcome
Most merchants do business now on u
very small profit. and the receipt tax
would be seriously felt by those Of them
who are obliged to use the express COM
panies on large scale in sending small
parcels.
