Do not try to fashion your home
made cape out of one material. Make
it out of several the more the better.
A one-material cape is old-fashioned
this year. Take your old brown plush
cape and fit it around the shoulders
very tight Cut the fronts rounding.
Line the cape brilliantly. Trim the
outside with great double rows Of
shaded chiffon, put on according to the
suggestions, a row around the bottom,
another row around the collar and two
around the shoulders Finish the
chiffon ruchings with tails arranged
down the back of the cape. Complete
the whole with an invisible clasp upon
the front.
Treat your old cloth cape in this way
if you so desire. If you have a fur
cape, old and discolored. do not de-
spair, fer by trimming it you can make
it as good as new.

"A MATTER or RATE.
How Norfclk Views the Determination
Against Sonthera Ports.


The Norfolk Virginian- Pilot COM
ments Us follows on the recent cut in
grain rates:
The Virginian-Pilot a few days ago
noted the fact of a cut in grain rates
from the West to Atlantic ports. ana
that Norfolk and Newport News We're
left out in the cold, under the rev ar
yangement.
II seems that shippers at many points
made contracts under the impression
that Virginia points would be equally
favored with Baltimore, Washington
and other ports and have suffered
heavy losses.
The following letter. written on June
9th, by MIR. Joseph Gregg. a heavy Chi
cago shipper, to Nessrs. T.. 3. Hodges
& Co, Of Norfolk, Indicates that these
Gnfavorah!e rates are to continue for
Some time, to the manifest and serious
injury to the trade Of all Virginia
points
AS perhaps you are well aware. there
was decline in rates from Chicago to
Baltimore and Washington on June 81
from II cents down to cents on corn,
aud from "A cents down to 10 cents Oh

Baltimore and Washington I have ever
Known. we all supposed Wlen THESE
rates were announced that Virginia
rates would also decline; but the lines

snat whatever rates they were getting
to Baltimore and washington would ap-
ply to Virginia cities and have been
making some very low quotations.
which have completely denoralized the
Virginia trade. I an, told by railroad

people who made the low quotations
