PELERINES FOR WINTER.
Exquisite Designs In Lace Neckweaz
for Cold Weather Co.'S
tunes.

Lace collars are to be worn quite as
much during the coming season AZ In
the past, and already q few of the new
ones are making their appearance in
the shops, reports the New York Tri-
bune. The long stole ends and draped
shoulders that have been SO popular
are replaced by deep, round perelines.
with fitted shoulders, closing in front
and just escaping the waist, o. by col
lars varying in style and depth at the
back, but having ends that slope into
a sharp or rounded point IN front. Ex-
cept in the case of very small collars
and collars for the coming season are
especially large and dsep-thers II in
variably a fitted shoulder piece falling
over the arm. and giving that long.
sloping effect which fashion Is deter
mined the square American shoulder
shall acquire.
The fitted shoulders of the new pei
crimes give an opportunity for the per-
feet display Of the rich lace designs
which decorate them. These are dscid-
eddy different from the patterns of last
season, and a good many of them have
been suggested by American importers
to the lacemakers of France, Germany
and Switzerland. The designs are Sc
lected with q view to the particular
needs of American women, but even In
Paris 1t is admitted that American de-
signs are most artistic and original.
Empire styles are prominent among
the new collars, and in one particular
handsome pelerine wrought In heavy
lace there are large lace roses, whose
petals stand out from the ground Of the
lace mesh so that wads OF cotton can
be placed under them. In q somewhat
similar pattern clusters OF fruit or
flowers are formed OF raised lace but
tons dispersed over contrasting patterns
of lace. This is known - the button
effect" and appears in many Glasses Of
trimming.
Both heavy and nns lace will BE- In
demand during the coming months.
Very different from Point dc venise and
other of the heavy fashionable laces 10
the soft and delicate Maltese lace, which
will be reigning favorite among pso-
pie of exclusive tastes and with the
means to gratifying them. This lace.
which is an adaptation from the Span
ish, appears in many rare patterns. and
is made up into boleros and mantillas
as we'll as into pelsrines and collars.
In the case Of the more delicate wsaves
Of lace, handkerchiefs with q border
matching the lace accessory are being
shown.
A good many OF the new collars are
in champagne color. which will look
particularly we'll with the brown hats
and frocks that are promised.

ON A LARGE SCALE.

Every little while we run across
facts that serve to emphasize that
this is very large country in which
We live and that we do things fire.
quently on very large scale. One of
the recent things to cause our thoughts
to run along this channel is the
stupendous educational work being
carried on by the international Cor
respOndence Schools Of Scranton, Pa.
Scranton is town among the hills of
PENNSYLVANIA and until a dozen years
ago was hardly known to the world at
large. Today it is the synonym of
INCONSISTENCIES in matters educa-
tional. Think of an army of more
than 100000 seekers after knowledge
whose Alma Mater is this institution
not yet in it's teens. The schools
employ a capital of over S3,0Q0,0 900 and
have about 5000 persons on their
payroll. Their mailing department.
handles about $4,000 pieces of mail
every day, necessitating the use of
more than S40O worth of postage daily,
and last ear they sent out something
like 63, 900, 900 pages of instruction.
Just at this time these schools are
making a special effort by advertising
and through window display and by
Offering special discounts to have the
people of Grand Rapids inquire into
what they arc really doing and how
they are doing it. 1t goes without
saying that there are quite a good
many who will be glad to avail them
selves of the opportunity thus pre-
sented them to get an education along
the line of their work or in connection
with some subject that they are
interested in. The schools represen-
tative, whose announcement and
address may be found in our display
columns, will be pleased to give to
interested persons any information
that may be desired.

SHE LEARNED ABOUT CHECKS,
The Teller Had His Own Troubles
Making Plain Some Things
About BankinS,

A Utica woman opened an account at
one of the banks by depositing $500 She
got fair-sized checkbook and went
away. The novelty of the use of check
book impressed her so we'll that she
gave check for about everything she
purchased. After depositing the $500 she
kept away from the bank with the single
exception OF calling for her book after
1t had been written up by the clerks.
She had given many checks, says the New
York Tribune, but did not know just
how many, and when she opened the
book she was glad to find that the total
amount of her Withdrawals was not more
than 1915.
She accepted the banks word that Il
owed her SIPS, and did not take into con-
sideration the fact that possibly some
OF her later checks had not reached the
bank in the regular channels of busi-
ness.
She was rather anxious to use the
checkbook up. so she sent checks right
and left in payment for purchases, but
did not take the preeaution of Deposit
ing more money.
One day she found a note from the
bank In her mail, and 1t was to the effect
that her account was largely over
drawn.
Il don't know what this means" she
said to herself, and dismissed It from
her mind, while she endsavored to dis
pose Of the score or more of checks re-
naming III her book.
The next news she got from the bank
was to the effect that her check had been
protested. and 1t was made plain to hel
that in addition to adjusting her &C.
count there was charge of about 81. 50
arising from the protest on her check.
Fastening to the bank, she aecosted
the teller and demanded to know what
the bank meant by such proceedings
She was told that her account had been
overdrawn, and that the bank had ad-
vised her, but she had paid no attention
to 1t, aRd the bank was compelled to
protest her check, as her actions were q
little out Of the ordinary.
why, here" she exclaimed, and she
almost threw the book at the teller. by
your figures you owe me $1z5."
The teller took the book and opening
1T, called her attention to the fact that
the book had been written up some three
months before, and that since that time
she had given checks amounting to over
5000.
well, what on earth are these things
for, them" and she exhibited 4 hal,
dozen blank checks still attached to he1
checkbook.
The teller only smiled.
well, what are they for, II they are
not for use?" she demanded.
The teller then told her few things
about banking.
