MINK COAT THAT COST $2,250
It Is Made of Graduated Stripes of Fur
from Neck to Bottom of the Coat.
New York EVENING journal.

New York Evening Journal
Here is one Of the most stunning
coats in New York, and one that prob
ably no furrier would undertake to du-
plicate at this season Of the year.
The most expert workmen Of the firm
which made it were set to work on it
last September, SO that they might
have time for cutting and sewing the
skins. For it will be observed that one
broad band extends from the neck to
the bottom Of the coat, the stripes be-
ing carefully graduated. 49, g..
" Following the line Of the neck, mar
row stripes extend from the shoulder
around under the arm in the form of a
bolero. The back is arranged in the
same manner, giving the short-waisted
empire style, which is so fashionable.
a broad band of fur finishes the bot
tom, the corners being mitered to the
end Of the bands extending down the
fronts. The sleeves are puffed with a
straight deep cuff. For fastenings there
are large gold buttons with emerald
centers. -...,sE.t ri. Nh
To match this coat a muff has been
made on the same curved lines. The
lower part increases in fullness till 1t
forms wide ripple, under which is q
ruffle of handsome lace.
Considering that the fur is the finest
eastern mink, and that the coat repre-
sents weeks Of expert labor. the price
of $2,25O seems not unreasonable. The
muff is valued at $3.50.

he has no trouble in reconciling him

The nub of the question is in the as
sumption that his aims are consistently
high. To some disinterested and i'm
material observers they do not always
seem so. To others. however, and they
are the great majority, he seems the
embodiment of civic virtue in an unre-

he puts forward that he is patriotic
and disinterested, he is entitled to be
Judged by the record he makes. Wheth-
er one approves or condemns the course
he is apparently taking at this time

view.
Meanwhile it is inevitable that dur

such as are here outlined. Some Of
them have been inspired by the Odell

from well-meaning, btu narrow and un-
informed men, who have failed to catch
the drift Of events.

he did want it. But he does want the
New York party placed under clean
leadership, and this done, he will take
his hands off and turn them to reform
work elsewhere.
He is as anxious for clean politics In
Missouri, Wisconsin and Illinois as In
New York, and if his effort to secure
it in these and other states should lead,
as it seems to be leading, to the charge
that he is aiming to make himself the
political boss of the country, none Of
his friends should be misled. A little
patience and little time will show this
charge to be unfounded

Renders Growing in Favor.

Many prospectors use horses thruout
the late spring and summer, packing
into new districts and aiding them in
getting the golden sand. During this
season man and beast enjoy share and
share alike. After the man has filled
his poke with gold dust and gets back
to Nome he will give his horses away
or take them to one side and shoot
them. This cool spirit of business never
fails to excite much commiseration and
protest., even in Nome, where the GUS
tom has been in vogue for some time.
Because horses, when dragged into
the Arctic circle, are SO far out of their
usual realm and have to suffer 50 many
hardships, the effort to adapt the rein

Dogs do not have to be housed with

that foreign nations would be as ready
