We use in our manufactures a con-
stantly increasing amount Of goat
skins, but we produce comparatively
none ourselves. Last year over 81, OOC
tons, or 60, 100000 pounds, of goat skins
was brought in, chiefly at New York,
and the average price in New York
was 40 cents pound, or total value
of $26,000,000. AT four pounds to the
skin, the average weight Of dry skins,
1t requires the slaughter of 1925 700
goats and kids to yield the skins i'm
ported last year. This represents live
flocks of foreign goats aggregating
from 25,000,000 to 100000 for our
present supply of marketable goat
skins alone. II all the goats in this
country were kept solely to supply
skins for market they would fail to
supply even an insignificant fraction
\ of the present demand.
The total number Of goats In the
United States is only about 500, 600,
and one-half of these are in Texas.
One-half of the total number also are
of Angora feece-bearing stock, con-
fined chiefly to Texas, Oregon, New
Mexico, California, Colorado and Ne
vada. Few, If any, goats in the Unit
ed States are raised for their skins.
| The cost of keeping goats is less than
for any other animal. They Craze up
on coarse herbs that are not eaten by
any other stock, such as ironweed,
dock, mullen, briars, buds and broken
sprouts. The ease with which all
breeds Of goats can be kept fits them
for many mountainous portions Of our
country where sheep cannot be sus-
tanned to advantage. while their ability

new fancy in trimming. 1t is illustrated
by the third dress of this picture, whose
material was golden brown cloth shot
with yellow silk. Bands of burnt yellow
cloth trimmed it as indicated. Their dis
posal was not especially new, but the
color scheme WIS an innovation and an
attractive one.
Bodices are often deliberately laid with
straps to simulate short eton or zouaye,
and though the collar itself is then likely
to be perfectly plain and Of choker va
riety some elaboration of scarf is usual.
The device pictured here is one easily re-
produced. 1t was merely black satin
handkerchief tied in sailor knot, the point
of the handkerchief hanging at the back.
The ends may fall to the waist in front
and black handkerchief may be used
even when black does not appear else
where in the costume.
Gray cloth has survived the vogue of
early spring and of all summer and re-
appears in delicate shades for reception,
calling and church gowns. No color
seems to lend itself SO well to the sheath
fit, and while none of the newest of these
dresses discloses radically new fashions,
there still are sure ways of telling easily
the new gray gown from the old. Take
the one pictured here in the third sketch,
for instance. Its gray broadcloth wns
laid in u series of folds about the bust
line, others outlining cuirass bodice
passing about the hips, and lower skirt

was laid in pleats from the edge Of the
short zouaye bodice. Between the pleats
white silk was covered with black lace,
and white silk revers to the zouave turn
ed back to show crossway pleated front.
The zouaye was of the cashmere. Every
thing about such a dress tends to empha-
size height andslenderness.
Criticism Of the present liking for Hat
trimmings is occasional, and usually
takes the form of declaring that it gives
no chance for variety. The facts are
quite the contrary. Flat trimmings afford
an excellent chance for individuality, and

While fashion indorses a-plenty Of sorts

reinforcement for any of them in the
permission to use stitching freely. Stitch
Ing means much more than 1t used to,

ments. Among them is threading with
narrow ribbon, which is especially pretty
for simple house dresses. Basket-weaye

charmingly to such finish. In the next

Gone Into Retirement

Within the last forty or fifty years
novels have undergone an extraordi
nary change, particularly In their hero
ines. This change In novels and their
heroines is due, in a great measure, to
the change in women themselves.
These have ceased to be the romantic,
sentimental, artificial beings they
were even thirty years ago, and their
reflex in fiction has been discontinued.
The heroine of the period is not salts
fed to look pretty and obey the fixed
rules Of etiquette; nor is the actual
woman SO satisfied, either. The act
ual woman wants to be somebody, to
do something, to take some part in life;
and she is and does, even If surround
ed by luxury and bulwarked by influ-
entail friends. Many of the novels of
the old type were weakening, If not
demoralizing. Not SO with the later
novels, those Of the present, especially.
The better kind are intellectual, en-
couraging, stimulating, in good
sense. and teach valuable lessons Of

"vaiue. OF Money.


The lawful debt paying value Of
coined money always has and always
will have powerful effect, intending
to maintain the approximate equality,
but never can maintain the precise
equality in the exchangeable value OF
money, made of gold or silver, when
put under the hammer test or in the
melting pot
AS an advocate for the restoration Of
silver Mt the existing coinage ratio Of
18 to 1, firmly hold to the opinion that
when we restore the full legal tender
power to our silver dollar, Its value as
bullion will rise and gold will fall.
The existing commercial value of
these two metals is now very far from
being fair test of the proper coinage
ratio, while In 1892 1t was fair test.
This is mainly on account Of silver
having been 80 extensively outlawed
by 80 large a portion Of the commercial
world for the past twenty-five years.
The assertion so frequently made that
silver has fallen in exchangeable
value, when compared with gold, on
account of the relative annual over
production Of silver, is false, MS can be
readily seen by reference to the. Of
fetal and universally accepted statis-
tics Of the relative production of these
metals in the world during the past 100
years.
Many of the commercial nation Of the
world would. in allprobability, soon fol-
low our example, and the wide and mis-
chievous chasms now separating the
two metals would be bridged by our
financial leadership. Some difference
will always exist, as the history Of
coinage has always shown, but 1t will
not be SO mischievous as to cause a
disastrous fall in prices MS our present
system has done.
1t is mathematical question con-
corning which there can be no fair dis
pute. The comparatively great sta
bility in the relative exchangeable
value of our coined money from 1892
to 1874, was secured simply because
the United States permitted this legal
tender value to remain as sacred and
potent regulator. given to us by our
forefathers. and happily we also had
the cooperation Of almost the entire
commercial world. as our minis, as
well as theirs. were open to the coin
age Of both metals on equal terms.
When Congress commenced to tam
per with this full legal tender function
Of silver in 1873, by making the gold
dollar alone "the unit of value" and
stopped the further coinage Of full
legal tender silver. and on June %,

except to the extent Of SIS. the mis-
chief was then commenced, and has

Thus Is presented a vast field for Sc

occupation of herding, which precedes

with inestimable benefit to the soil. In
the aggregate, millions of acres of
land, at present poor, rough, rocky and
bushy, distributed through nearly all
the States, call for subjugation and en-
