particular favorite, but, aside from
this, there are Il number of other
effects that are fashionable. Baby
lamb is tXeremly stylish. Even the
old-time astralvhan and seal enjoy a
share of favor, and for practical
purposes have much to recommend
them.
The short fur jacket, terminating
at the waist, is extremely popular.
A very effective style is made abso-
lutely loose, with triple cape effect,
full sleeves and high standing col
lar. Unlike most other fur coats, it
is absolutely unadorned, and is OK
tremely practical.
The fur hat is more than ever
fashionable this season. Small
toque effects are most stylish, and
of these there is nothing more suit
able than one of gray squirrel.
Sometimes this is trimmed with
lace, again with grapes, or still
again with a tail of some other va.

Another idea that is a particularly

informal talk to the scholars, teach
ers, alumni and others who were
present. Later in the afternoon the
president and his cabinet officers
were guests at a luncheon given by
former Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith, and this function was
followed by reception at the home
Of Edward Stotesbury.
The banquet at the Union League
club this evening promises to be
one of the most brilliant affairs Of
the kind Philadelphia has seen in a
long time.
In addition to the president and
other distinguished visitors from
Washington the guests will include
the state officials of Pennsylvania

COSTUMES FOR THANKSGIVING.
A Wide Range of Styles, Taking in Everything From
the Plain Tailored Suit to the Elaborate
Ball Gown

Thanksgiving, like all other Holt
days, naturally suggests clothes.
There are some women who invari-
ably regard practicability as the
chief and the only consideration in
the choosing of their clothing. The
tailored cos tune is always fashion
able and up-to-date and, more than
that, it is extremely becoming to
every woman who has any kind of a
figure. In fact, even this is not
necessary. The tailor and the dress
maker have progressed SO far that,
with the aid of bit of padding
here and some stitfening there, an
otherwise imperfect figure can be
made to look very presentable. The
idea of today, however. is to show
the natural lines of the figure as
nearly as possible.
In most of the new models the
jacket comes just to the waist line
the back and possibly in the front
too, or it is frightened in at this
point and extends about three
inches below it. A longer model
has also become very fashionable
This extends well over the hips
but does not come down far enough
to put 1t in the three-quarter length
class. These coats show the pos.
tillion back, of self material edged
with velvet. "A belt crosses in front
and gives that peculiarly long-waist
ed effect now so stylish.
The kimona coat is rather new
but a very fashionable form. 1t is
shown in variety of rich and
dressy styles, Handsome cloth eff
fects are deliberately bedecked
with lace. velvet embroideries ant

master said:

ITS THIRD.
A Rear End Wreck Occurs
at COnnell.

The Northern Pacific railway suf-
fered it's third rear end collision
within two days at Connell, Wash,
yesterday.
The trains were again badly de-
layed and the equipment was much
damaged.
Various reasons are given for the
three rear-end collisions which have
taken place during the past two
days, but the consensus of opinion
places the responsibility on improp-
err Tagging.
The rules require flagman when
an unusual delay to his train is
anticipated to drop off mile from
the point of delay, place his torpedo
and remain there until called in.
1t was said yesterday among the
railway employees that the torpe-
does which We're used as an extra
precautiOn failed to explode.

position.

A number of new beautiful cot.
tnges have been added to Spokane
during the past summer and are
now occupied by families of mod
crate circumstances. These families
have been able to acquire these
homes through the working of the
Washington Home company, which
advances the money and allows the
borrower to return same in small
monthly payments with, practically
speaking, no interest. There is no
reason why every man in Spokane
should not own home of his own
when he can pay for the same with
what rent now costs him. Why not
call and see them under The Marble
bank and get their method Of doing
business?
