GOWNS FOR TRAVELLING.
4 Three-Piece Suit Of eun-Metal SILK
and Mohair Very Attractive
and Also Practical.

Three-piece suits are always suitable
Tor sightseeing. Thin silk blouses
matching in color the rest Of the COS
tune are convenient, in that they do
not require constant laundering. Worn
with fine lingerie sets, especially with
the high cuffs so much in vogue, these
blouses are very modish and becoming.
A gun-metal mohair, with a raised fig
ure, made a very stylish three-piece
suit The skirt was box-plaited, and
quite severely stitched, and the SIM
pie little Elton jacket was relieved
from plainness only by the beautiful
lingerie collar which fell over the
shoulders and down the front. The
Jacket was closed to the waist line
with fastenings Of black braid, and
the folded girdle OF the material was
also fastened with braid ornaments.
The blouse was of gun-metal radium
silk, and was heart-shaped in front,
with q guimpe to match the coat col
lar. The blouse was shhred on heavy
cords on the shoulders, and was very
full over the bust. The full sleeves
were longer than the jacket sleeves,
and were decorated with high white
cuffs like the collar and guimpe.
Cashmere in light weight makes ex-
cellent gowns for travelling. Cash
mere Is the ideal material for de-
signs using drapery, being very pliable,
and yet very substantial. A lovely
model in tobacco-brown was perhaps
little elaborate for a utility gown, but
was too attractive to pass over. The
skirt was full and plain, and was
rather longer than walking gowns usu-
ally are. It barely escaped the ground,
and would have to be held up wherever
the ground was wet or dusty. The
length was made necessary, from the
aesthetic point Of view, on account OF
the length Of the redingote, which
reached within eight inches Of the
hem. The skirt Of the redingote was
full and plain, and all met in the
front. The points were rounded,
which gave q more open effect, but the
general effect was of q double skirt.
The blouse part OF the redingote was
full, and rather loose In effect. It
opened in front over a short waist
coat Of brown satin deliberately en-
broidered in dull oriental colors, fas-
tened with small gold buttons. The
blouse was broad, square revers Of the
satin, the embroidery partly covered
with very loose meshed lace, coffee
colored in hue. The full sleeves end
ed at the elbow In cuffs, which
matched the revers, and fall Of cof-
fee-colored lace. The girdle was OF
the cashmere, and was narrow rather
than wide.

Benjamin c. Bacon, Isaac Knapp,

Church on Bellnap street and organ
lied the first Garrisonian Society for
the abolition of slavery in the United
States; he and his apostolic band also
founded the New England Anti-Slay-
cry Society. The Liberator become
the oficial organ Of both bodies and
its editor was chosen as their general
agent, and chief lecture, and as such
he raised his eloquent voice in behalf,
of the slave in chains. throughout the
North and in England, and he never
faltered In his Iabors until slavery
was no more.
In December 1865 he discontinued
the publication Of The Liberator, at

volume, but until the day Of his death

daughter Mrs. Henry Willard. in New
York City may "a, 1879; he breathed
words of hope and encouragement for
the ex-slave, and among the last words
spoken by the great apostle Of liber-
ty were:
my country is the world! my coun-
trymen are all mankind"
In celebrating the one hundreth an
niversary Of his birth, it is well to re-
member, that his breast was full OF
the milk Of human kindness, that his
love for his fellow creatures was as
broad as the universe, that he wore
himself out In the service Of his
country, and that among the greatest
champions of the rights Of man, who
have been spawned upon the face
of the earth, none Of them were born

eARRIsoN-THE NONRESIDENT.

The great apostle of abolition, VIII
liam Lloyd Garrison, was born in
Newburyport, Mass, December 10,
1905. The centenary Of his birth is
suitably marked by the publication Of
Ernest Grosby's notable book "Garri-
son the Non-Resistant"
1t is a sympathetic sketch Of Gar
rison's career which considers sla-
very and the Civil War from an en-
tirely original point of view. In the
opinion of the author President Lin
coin made a radical mistake In under
taking to coerce the seeding States,
and the enthusiasm for the "'Union"
Of sections which hated each other he
regards as immoral in itself and the
source Of prolific subsequent evils, in
GLIDING the growth Of the sentiments
of imperialism and militarism, to-
gether with the foundation of the
trusts and the aggravation Of the la
Dor problem. That the war failed
to settle the race question is obvious.
II the "erring sisters" had been al
lowed to go, slavery would, he thinks,
have died a natural death, and the
States would have reunited, the race
question having been peacefully and
genuinely solved.
Even those who fail to accept this
view Of history viii find 1t interest
ing and full OF suggestion and the
account Of Garrison's life and the
record Of the personal observations Of
the author in the South Of today are
both vivid and entertaining.

THE UGLY OCTOPUS.
1t IL One of the Most Repu1siVe aMt
HideOus of Creatures.

1t IL One of the Most RepulsiVe ana
HideOus of Creatures.
A greedy, voracious, relentless crea-
ture is the octopus, and most formi-
dable enemy even to man, for it is easier
to cut or tear off one of those terrible
long arms with it's two rows of suck
ers than to induce the creature to re-
linquish any prey it has laid hold Of.
These suckers also enable it to drag
it's body into very narrow crevices,
from which scarcely any force will
avail to remove 1t.
Like it's beautiful brother the argo-
naut, it defies it's enemies by ejecting
Ink, but the octopus Is so subtle and
clever that he can vary the color Of his
INK according to the color Of the ground
he Is passing over, and, as he Is very
active and darts about at lightning
speed, he constantly escapes being
caught.
He is an unsociable creature, appar-
emily quite satisfied with his own So
ciety, as he roams about alone, seeking
what he may devour on rocky shores,
where he may be met with of all sizes,
varying in length from an inch to two
or more feet.
The octopus has one very curious
habit-when resting he coils up some
Of his arms into semblance OF the
shell of the argonaut.-Pearson' Week

But the TailOr's Anxiety and Bill
Were Both Finally Settled.
The doctor Of an English regiment
stationed In India received a letter
from his tailor inclosing long overdue
account and concluding with polite
inquiry after the debtors state of
health. The sawbones replied thus:
"I have received your hypocritical
letter hoping that am in a good state
of health. Hear, then, what your
chances of my living long enough to
be able to pay your bill are. 1 attend
assiduously every cholera case in the
camp, and 1 am making smallpox
special study. 1 swim every morning
in a lake swarming with alligators. At
a recent attack on hill fort l went
with the forlorn hope and was one Of
the three who returned unwounded.
Tomorrow morning 1 shall go unac-
companied and on foot into the jungle
and wait for the man eating tigress as
she returns at dawn to her cave and
cubs. If 1t be she who falls I shall
spend my leave in the fever haunted
jungle following up big game, and If I
survive that l shall cool myself after
It's heat by joining a party to ascend
the peak of Dhawalagiri, whose snow
slopes and glaciers are as stiff as your
prices"
The doctor eventually returned home
In safety, and the tailor's anxiety and
his bill were both settled.

When a customer comes in, don't,
whatever you do, drag yourself out Of
the chair as though you were disturbed
from rest, but jump up and greet her
or him as though you were really
glad to wait on them. Act so they will
ask for you the next time they come
to the store. The salesman who is
constantly being asked for by GUS
toners never has to worry about
job.
Don't be stiff and act or feel as
though you were far the mental SUI
perior Of the customer. If you do, no
sale will result,
Just for the sake Of argument, let us
take all the successes In your city, no
matter what line they are in. Do they
advertise?
The public, somehow or other, seem
to be able to read between the lines.
II your ad. is not truthful they will not
respond.
1t takes more than a mere cut to at
tract the eye to make your ad. pay.
There must be solid, honest store news
Of good values behind it.
Never underrate the intelligence of
your customer. He may know more
about the article you are showing than
you do.
Post yourself on every article you
are expected to sell, so you can talk
convincingly and knowingly. That Is
what sells goods-convincing talks.
Never mind the price; that will take
care of itself.-Brains.

The manufacture Of wire Is Of very
ancient origin. 1t has been traced back
to the earliest Egyptian history. Speci-
mems are in existence which can be
proved to date to 100 B. G. The Ken
stngton museum has a specimen which
was made in Minera 800 years B. G.
Ancient literature contains many refer
ences to wire. From the ruins Of Her
culaneum metal heads have been ex-
humed on which the hair is represented
by wire. There is no question that this
ancient wire was made by hammering
out the metal, which was always
bronze or Of the precious group. This
held true Of all made previous to the
fourteenth century, during which the
process of forming wire by drawing or
elongating the metal by forcing it
through conical orifice, made in some
substance harder than the metal treat
ed, was invented.-Cassier's Magazine.

forwards reappointed him. Mr.. Rel
ser was forced to resign the office q
