ON FALL SEWING.
The Girl Who Is Buying Her New
FrOcl.s.


'T hate the old thing anyway! I
never have any decent clothes, and
won't wear this, If I never go any
wherel"
This Ditiable vail rose from the
daughter Of the house as she tried on
new fall dress. Her mother had
been sitting up nights to finish it for
her, and her father had gone without
his fail overcoat in order that she
might be dressed quite as well as the
other girls. But the girl of the wall
had pictured herself as looking like the
wasp-waisted, sylphlike damseI who
smiled at her from the pages of the
fashion journal.
When she donned the frock made in
similar style her illusion vanished. She
was merely a common, everyday girl,
with comfortable breathing space
about her waist and figure built for
many a jolly rOmp. Mothers tired
nerves and fathers sacrifice counted
for naught. So the dress was hung
away in the closet until the tantrums
were over and the ungrateful daughter
came back to her normal senses.
Another incident of the dressmak king
season now in full swing is this:
Father, I bought my new suit to-
day, and it's simply the loveliest thing
you've ever seen. Manxmin, the tailor.
- Iidh4ll5 IL anu ne says lie VIII 1dkG Z
it for me surely by next week Mon
day. You know I travelled all over
town to get a suit with the money you
gave me, but there wasn't one that
fitted me anywhere. So I bought the
material. and it's going to be just a
dream when it's finished"
A week later, as the father sits COM
fortably reading his evening paper. the
following dialogue takes place:
''The tailOr's boy has come with my
suit, father. but he won't leave it un-
| less I pay
PAY for what?" with a questioning
look from the Morris chair. 81 gave
you the money for your suit last Mon
day"
Eyes. / know. father: but I bought
the materials with that. The tailor has

And as the breadwinner counts out
the amount of the bill. he looks re-
4 gretfully at the silver certificates which
he has been carefully boarding to buy
1 himself the first fTock coat IN FIVE
! years. and wonders where women get
their ideas of spending money.
There is another type of girl too,
( who makes herself felt as soon as the
question of clothes comes up for con-
4 siderstion. She is the girl who talks
about her new frocks until the family

NO BANK FOR THEM.
Federation of Labor Delegates Table
the Proposition.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-The Union Labor
bank in Chicago was sacrificed onathe
altar of frenzied finance at a meeting
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
yesterday. By an overwhelming vote
the delegates laid on the table a re-
port submitted by a banking commit
tee in favor of establishing and sup
porting such an institution.
Before the proposition was smother
ed it was raked fore and aft by a
CALLING fire from many speakers; fin
ancial schemes were linked with graft
and banking was declared entirely out
side the sphere of organized labor. The
banking scheme was brought to the
attention of the delegates in a report
from a committee recommending that
the proposed bank be given the normal
support Of the federation and that a
committee of three be appointed to see
the plan through.
The report announced that a corpor-
alton known as the Commonwealth
Trust and Savings bank also had been
organized with a capital stock Of 81
O0G. GOO divided into shares of par value
of s5 each. The chief aim in organic
ing the bank it was announced was to
make the trades unions Of Chicago the
controlling factor in the management
Of the institution and with this objec-
tive in view the banks by laws pro-
vide that organized labor at all times
shall have majority on the board of
directors.

1t is doubtless exciting establishment that the
wedding of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess
of Germany should take place at Berlin rather
than at Schwerin; that is to say, the home OF the
bride, whose brother is regninG sovereign This.
however is in accordance with the requirements
of the family statutes of the reiSning House OF
Hohenzollern, and only in one instance that can
recall has the law demanding that PrusSian princes
of the blood should wed at Berlin been ignored,
namely when the late Emperor Frederick married
tba eldest sister OF King Edward at Windsor Cas-
tie now nearly fifty years ago. The family
statutes of the House of Hohenzollern concerning
which SO much curiosity exists-I often receive
Iatters tnuuiring tlem-consist of series OF
family conventions and treaties, the provisions OF
which are binding upon all OF the members OF the
family under penalty of expulsion from Its ranks
and deprived Of all participation In its honors pre-

mainly upon the so-called Constitute AchiHea'
