The Beautiful
New BrOadcToths,

The new broadcfOths are irresisti-
bly, beautiful, soft, luStrous and re-
markably light in weight, and it is
predicted that the tailored costumes
for ceremonious wear will be de
rigeur if fashioned of this incom-
parable material. The moleskin eff
fects with Panne surface, in black
and gray, are delight to look upon
as well as to touch. In black and
colors of such shades as will appeal
to the most aesthetic taste, broad
cloth has unquestionably reached
the perfection of weaving and has
been stamped with the emphatic seal
OF fashions approval. Among the
new colors are mahogany, in all
shades, burnt onion, blue, green,
castor, tan and the new warm brown
tints.

~ ful-quiet, subdued, har-

peal to good taste This is equally
true of American stuffs, which this
season are more attractive than ever
before, and the rare and elegant
things that we brought over from
Paris direct. Many of the new pat
terms and weaves of Our Fall Dress
Materials are exclusive and are dis
tlnctive in their absolute novelty and
by their delightful combinations of
colors. The seasons demand for
mannish effects in cloths has result
ed in collection of superb stuffs
whose variety and generous proper
tons will please every one.
The Recent Change of the
Location of Dress Goods;
Silks, Velvets and Innings to the
second floor, G. street, was happy
thought and has met with general
approval. Delightfully."- roomy and
airy and equipped with every mod
ern convenience, it offers rare facili-
ties for leisurely inspection and Sc
lection of the new seasons fabrics.
All degrees of light, so important in
viewing of silks and velvets, are pro-
vlded, SO that the effects of lights
and shades on these materials NAV
be practically illustrated.

Choice Books For Children.

If a child loves books at all you can
hardly begin too early to instruct her
or him there is no reason for always
saying "him") with really valuable
books. The fine book sets A standard
of treatment for the rest. If the child
has only cheap, fimsy volumes, al
ways coming to pieces, a book will
seem to be worthy of no care, and the
library will not be valued. But a
choice work, beautifully bound, is SO
charming a possession that it will be
sure Of respectful treatment, and the
owner will come to see that a book
is, or may be, a matter worth consid-
Grafton. There are in secondhand
stores thousands of good books that
cost no more than the poorly printed
works, despised by all who think
bookmaking an art. Buy good books,
and you help to bring good books into
the market; for the public receives
what it asks for.-From Books and

over the shoulders, make an especially
noteworthy feature and are becoming

liked, the vest can be of velvet or
other contrasting material so making
still greater variety.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing which can be used or omitted as
preferred, and consists of the fronts,
back, centre front and vest portions.
The lining is closed at the centre front,
the waist invisibly beneath the edge
Of the left front and the waistcoat at
the centre. The sleeves are made in
one piece, mounted over fitted Innings,
IN which the deep cuffs are arranged
and their extensions are arranged over
the shoulder seams.

Copper Treatment of Water.

The public must not make the mis-
take Of imagining that the copper
treatment for destroying disease bac-
terra in water supply systems is de-
signed to replace or supersede slow
sand and other efficient means of fl
tration now employed. 1t is intended
to supplement these methods. Filtration
is usually effective, but many times
cannot be used. The method is SO ex-
pensive that the vast majority of
towns are obliged to do without it.
Again, there are many times when the
polluted water of a reservoir must be
purified at once. An epidemic is at
hand, and there is no time for slow FL
tration. Then it is that DR.. Moore's
discovery helps us. By his method, in
a few hours we can thoroughly steri-
lie the water, destroying every dan
gerous germ in it, and the process is
so cheap that every small town can
afford to adopt it.-From Gilbert H.
G~rosvenor's "The New Method of Puri.

GIouse OF Shirt Waist.

Waists that are simple in style yet a
little more elaborate than the shirt
waist ill many needs and are in great
demand. This one is exceptionally at
tractiye and is adapted both to the odd
waist and to the entire gown as we'll
as to a variety of materials. AS illus
trated, however, it is made of dark
red chiffon taffeta stitched with cor
ticelli silk and worn with a black tie
and belt. The yoke adds largely to the
effect and intensifes the broad Shout
der line, but can, nevertheless, be
omitted when a palmer waist is de-
sired.
The waist consists of the fitted lin
ing, which is optional, fronts and back,
with the yoke and sleeves. The
sleeves are made in one piece each and
are laid in pleats both at the upper
edge and above the cuff portions. The
closing is made invisibly at the left OF

''Tasmanian WOLF" so far from being
a wolf, does not belong to the dog
family. 1t is, in fact, a marsupial,
and is mere nearly akin to certain of
the kangaroos, than it is to the Can

cartilages. The animal walks upon

NEW SHORT STORIES
one on Tom s1arshall.

LNN
Good stories of Tom Marshall are
often heard In the cloakrooms, and,
though sometimes old, they W wear
off all the genuine goodness. An Ohio
congressman says that on one occasion
Tom Marshall was engaged in a trial
before a rather ignorant Justice Of the
peace. Tom tried to convince the dis
penser of Justice and law that he had
made an decision on a GER
tain point, and for this purpose he cited
authorities from King Solomon all the
way down, piling tome on tome until
the Justice was ready to declare that
he didn't care a darn for all the au-
horities OF Tom Marshall either. After
exhausting himself Marshall said:
viii your honor please fine me $40
for contempt Of court?"
"For what?" asked the astonished
magistrate. you have committed no
contempt Of court"
"But,' replied the illustrious Tom, II
assure you l have a most internal con-
tempt for it."
And the justice accommodated Tom.
