Such a coat is here sketched. 1t is
built on severely tailor lines and is en-
tirely guiltless of subterfuge either in
the matter of trimming or design. In
deed it's success is from matter of
cut, pure and simple. In it's length it
splits the difference between the ac-
cepted three-quarter and -eighths
ideal. the long basque reaching to with
in some fifteen inches of the hem.
The other costume sketched is of sap
phire blue cloth and reveals a redingote
style, the fronts of the coat cut away
to show an ivory cloth vest, which is
repeated in embroidered form as over
lapels. The whole gives an effect very
quiet, but distinguished.

Shepherd Checks.

For street attire / have seen several
very fetching costumes of shepherd
checks and tartan plaids in the most
subdued colors to be found in those
usually rather snowy goods. Some
have fine checks in brown and fawn,
with stripes of faint green or blue or
sometimes black with a line of bright
red through the weft. These make ex
cellent wearing suits for young girls,
and all the trimming they require is a
band of the material cut bias and
stitched down. This may be straight
around the skirt or put on in more
fanciful design. and the waist is trim
med to match the skirt. This manner
Of trimming obtains in the finest of
these winter suits.
Boleros are so very fashionable that
it is wise for a woman to have one In
velvet of some neutral or dark color
trimmed richly with beading or with
spangles and embroidery. The Syr-
fans make these boIeros stiff with gold
braid, leaving scarcely any of the vel
vet exposed. But they are beautiful.
Embroidery and beads may take the
place of the gold braid. Heavy motifs
of lace are applied on some, and these
are edged with narrow ribbon ruff1es
and beads. These boleros can be slip
ped on over any waist.
Chemisettes and guimpes very high
in the neck are worn with dresses
which are cut out in the neck. These
are frequently beaded and spangled,
especially If intended for evening wear.

there has been bad feelings between
the two for several weeks. and Satur-

TURF QUEEN DIES ON TRACK.

when Sadie Mac, the Canadian queen,

have lost her strength just at the
period when her driver was urging her
to do her best, but she was exhausted
and, dropping to the track, rolled over
and died instantly. A veterinary sur
geon attributed death to a broken
blood vessel and horsemen who had
been watching her declared that she
acted strangely all the afternoon.

MOVING THE GREAT CROPS"
How Western Banks are Preparing t.


DO It-Prosperity in tho West.
Kansas City, Mo, Sept 6.--Will the
immense crops of the middle west ne
cessitate the calling of western banks
for more than the usual amount OF
money to move the products? That IS
the question that is interesting the
bankers at this time. The reports that
are coming OF huge yields throughout
the farming sections are causing spec
ulation concerning the probable needs
of the interior when the grain COM
mences to move with rush.
The rivalry between the farmers
and the regular grain dealers for the
handling OF the crops Is causing the or
ganization Of many new companies on
a cooperative basis and these are ship
ping grain at small margin. The old
grain dealers are in consequence max
ing efforts to attain higher prices, and
as result money will bear a larger
proportion to the amount of grain
handled than ever before Prices are
high anyhow, and this condition adds
to the percentage. Interior banks are
keeping large surplus in the banks
here, but they are not quite SO freely
sending 1t here as earlier In the season.
The banks need of money is seen in
the demand being made by the Kansas
banks for part Of the state deposits
under the new law making it obliga-
tory on the treasurer to deposit his
funds in banks Of the state under GER
tain restrictions. The managers real
ize that there will be an unusual drain
during the autumn. The farmers are
really in little need of money and there
is a general feeling that they will not
be likely to buy much of ordinary lux
uries compared with the past The
chances are that the land sales of the
west will continue to attract attention
until the end Of the year. II this con-
dition continues the banks will reap
less benefit in increased deposits than
was anticipated earlier in the season.
