Observation-Disclosures

Wichita packers have succeeded IN IN
ducing the people of this city to eat gooo
beef. They have become convinced that
corn-fed cattle are as cheap as old Gamer

tives have gone where the woodpine

When asked yesterday if such beer

ers in this city, Superintendent Brown OF

BICYCLES AND AUTOMOBILES.
An Elegant Display of These Goods at
SchoIIenberger Bros Saturday.

Milliners sometimes consider them
selves unfortunate when it rains or
storms on their opening day, while Schol-

Gle and automobile dealers, expect rain,
snow. hail and windstorms on their open

been disappointed. Their spring opening
took place Saturday and the weather
man turned the crank and gave them
rain hail and a young cyclone. When
a reporter for the Eagle called in the
afternoon, their store was filled with
visitors and the proprietors We're feeling
jubilant. They had sold one now Olds
Automobile and an even half dozen hi
cycles and had entertained crowds of
visitors the entire afternoon and in the
evening their store was crowded with
visitors watching the Olds sectional en-

bicycles. Their opening was a great sue
cess. Notwithstanding the Indictment

having all ones gowns made OF that
color. no matter what the material OF
the costume. or for what purpose it is to
be worn, the woman who has chosen
purple as her color has now a fine op-
portunity She can have a royal purple
serge gown for every day wear, trimmed
with either rows of stitching or black
braid; she can have a mixed cheviot bust
ness suit, with just speck of purple in
the indefinite blending of the mixed
black and white; she can order for her
reception gown a most exquisite gown of
the Dalest mauve cloth trimmed with
braiding of silver, for her dinner gown
gown one OF violet velvet. and for a ball
gown one OF the palest heliotrope net,
with chenille dots or spangled with sill
yer and trimmed with purple orchids,
and a long coat OF purple braodcloth with
storm collar. revers and cuffs of shaggy
black fur: a taffeta silk gown of shaded
purple. and a house gown of pale mauve
can also be included in the outfit, assur-
ing the greatest possible variety and ye;
with the one color as the dominant note.
Street gowns with coat and skirt TO
match and on the strictly tailor made
order are very fashionable made of the
same materials as are used for mems
business suits These have either the
long coats, half fitting. or are made like
the riding habits. tight fitting. or with
attached skirts like cutaway coats They
have small lapels. and a turned down
collar. which sometimes is faced with
velvet. but more often is LETT quite
plain. Coat sleeves are finished like the
sleeves on a mans coat. or with two or
three small black buttons. Everything
about these costumes must needs be
perfect as to fit and finish. for If the
truth be told there is nothing else to
recommend them. the pattern OF jLc ma
terial being as a rule rather indefinite
in design and coIoring. Stripes and
checks are alike popular and one point
that should be noted in selecting the
material is that II should not be too

seem quite too thickset.
Both rough and smooth cloths in the
plain colors are thought smart. but it
is well. If there are TO be two or three
cloth gowns in the outfit. to have a
rough one for every day wear and re-
serve the smooth cloths for more elab-
crate reception gowns. and this sea
son the smooth cloths are, if possible
more attractive. so perfect are they in

a corduroy costume for autumn and
winter is always useful, and this season
there are a number of different widths
in the cords that are quite new. The
grays and tans, trimmed with bands of
cloth the same shade. are smart look
ing and rather newer thar the dark ccl-
ors, but there are many shades in blue
green, and brown and always the black
that are good purchases. The medium
length coat. half fitting. and the short
skirt are the smartest in the corduroys.

shade. and fancy buttons the only per-
