Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The president has issued a proclama-
ton naming Thursday, November 20, as
a day of Thanksgiving. The text OF the
proclamation is as follows
The time of year has come when, in
accordance with the wise custom of our
forefathers, it becomes my duty to set
aside a special day of Thanks
giving and praise to the Almighty because
of the blessings we have received, and OF
prayer that these blessings may be con-
tinued. Yet another year of widespread
well-being has passed. Never before in
our history or in the history of any other
nation has a people enjoyed more
Astounding material prosperity than is
ours; a prosperity so general that it
should arouse in us no spirit of reckless
pride, and least of all spirit of needless
disregard of our responsibilities; but
rather a sober sense of our many bless
ings, and a resolute purpose, under
Providence, not to forfeit them by any
action of our own.
Material well-being, indispensable
though it is, can never be anything but
the foundation of true national great
ness and happiness. FIVE build nothing
upon this foundation, then our national
life will be as meaningless and empty as
a house where only the foundation has
been laid. Upon our material well-being
must be built a superstructure of indi-
vidual and national life lived in accord
ance with the laws of the highest morali-
ty, or else our prosperity itself will in the
long run turn out curse instead of
blessing. We should be both reverently
thankful for what we have received, and
earnestly bent upon turning it into
means of grace and not of destruction.
Accordingly, l hereby set apart Thurs
day. the 29th day ofNovember next, as
a day of Thanksgiving and supplication,
on which the people shall meet in their
homes or churches, devoutly acknowl-
edge all that has been given them, and
to pray that they may in addition re-
ceive the power to use these gifts Alright
In witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington. this
22d day of October, in the year of our
Lord, 1906, and of the independence of
the United States the 131st.

The Thrice-a-Week World, now that a
great Presidential campaign is fore
Swallowed, hopes to be better paper
than it has ever been before, and it has
made its arrangements accordingly. Its
news service covers the entire globe, and
it reports everything fully, promptly and
accurately. 1t is the only newspaper,
not daily, which is as good as daily,
and which will keep you as completely
informed of what is happening through
out the world.
The Thrice-a Week World is fair in its
political reports. You can get the truth
from it's columns, whether you are Re
publican or Democrat, and that is what
you want.
A special feature of the Thrice-a Week
World has always been its serial fiction
1t publishes novels by the best authors in
the world, novels which in book form sell
for $3.50 apiece, and its high standard
in this respect will be maintained in the
future as in the past.

c. Shayne is leading the mode not only
IN the royal furs, sable, ernlne and mink,
but in the more durable and scarcely less
fashionable, broadtail, caracul, Persian
and Russian pony.
A MINK BOX COAT.
A garment of dark eastern mink in
box coat style was shown with clearly
defined yoke back and front-the stripes
running across. The sleeves, which were
long were ornamented by three tails, and
head at the back of the cuff, and the
collar-a stole shaped affair with ermine
lined tabs was also ornamented with the
hanging tails.
AUTOMOBILE MUFFs.
Automobile muffs and muffs of all
sorts are large and rather square in
shape with dip at the centre of the top,
and are fashionably constructed OF what
are termed hanging flrs." The natural
skins, selt-lined, forming tabs, that are
lightly caught together and hang free at
the lower part. These are shaped over
an inner, lingerie muff of chiffon and lace
rufles, and lined with satin. Stiff padded
muffs are decided back numbers, the
present fad is for soft flexible effects.
THE sERvIcEABLE cARAcUL.
Astrakhan and caracul make some OF
the smartest small jackets. These come
in white or black and aredyed in fetching
modes, browns and grays. Garnitures
of braid and embroidered cloth and
handsome buttons of metal set with
semi-precious stones are used on many
of these. Russian pony in black and in
brown is also modishly used tor these
fascinating coats.
THE VOGUE OF SILKS.
Notwithstanding the rage for ninion-
de-soie or chiffon-cloth as it is commonly
called silks have lost none of their
prestige. Nearly all weaves though have
now acquired the "chiffon" texture. Even
moires, which are in again, are soft and
flexible. Very different from the stiff
fabric formerly worn Soft Liberty silks,
radiums and innumerable variations OF
this class with high lustre, but the
daintiest softness of weave, are the
proper selection for. women who want
to be in fashion-and what woman does
not? Striped silks in lowered effects and
plain grounds with raised brocades of
flowers woven in velvet are among the
most expensive and elegant productions
of the silk looks.
FOR EXTRA WAISTS.
For extra waists to wear with the nice
coat and skirt suit, that is always in
style, waists of satin weaves, and of
chiffon taffetas in lowered and plaided
patterns are popular. The Jumper"
waist which is low-necked over waist,
worn with lace or muslin under waist,
the latter with the usual lingerie shirt
waist type, is being eagerly taken up by
all the fashionable world.

The opal was Paquin creation of the
new dress tulle. The outer dress was Of
white embroidered in silver lbugles, and
worn over an under robe of cloth of sill
yer with skirts of pink and pale green
tulle, one over the other, between the
silver cloth and the outer white dress.
An embroidered girdle ofsilver cloth, and
silver rose sprays ornamented the decol-
letage and carried out the note of deli
cate opalesence. Dawn" was a pale
pink frock of chiffon cloth inset with lace
as white and delicate as clouds at early
morning. Tucks and narrow lace edged
Fittings gathered through the centre and
disposed in waved festoons and curleques,
in braiding patterns, and embroideries of
dainty moss rose buds carried out the
girlish suggestion.

with the interlinings of white chiffon
another fad of the moment-this gown
was eminently suggestive fits designa-
ton, and suited to the older woman for
whom it was designed. The bodice was
a mass of the same chenille embroidery
that was used on the skirt, but in smaller
pattern, and few silver threads were
into the design. A belt pin of
silver set with yellow topaz stones
finished the belt at the back where it
slanted up in sharp point after the
Empire style. At the front the belt of
chiffon panne velvet was also pointed,
but here the point was down we'll below
the waist line, though not to an exag-
gerated degree. Yellow chiffon roses
ornamented the pointed decolletage and
a little chemisette of6ne white lace frilled
in the point and was gathered by a small
yellow draw string of No. l velvet rib
bon just at the top of the bust.
