MAROON CLOTH SUIT.

Circles of brown velvet were incorpo.
rated with the braiding design. Skirts
now as well as coats and waists are
adorned with braiding, most of this be-
ing done in soutache, with q heavier
braid in the middle
There are some very pretty and use
full coats, three-quarter length, with
plain revers and buttons. One has
fat bretelles of brown velvet on a
beige coat, others have but braid, while
still others have plaid velvet trim
mings. Latticework of soutache is
seen often. The short pony jackets
are particularly jaunty and fetching.
They are made of any kind of material
that is desired and are trimmed with
stitched straps Of cloth or braid in any
preferred weight or width. Sometimes,
however, we see titan, hercules, SOU
tache and silk braid In solid or even
fancy colors. Braid Is now the most
fashionable of all trimmings and has
the widest range of usefulness.
The elegant colored and black chev-
lots, which are woven so much closer
and more solid than before and also
made rain and spot proof, are in great
vogue for costume suits, skirt and snug
three-quarter coat. They are strap
scanned and have velvet collars and
cuffs several shades darker than the
material. Maroon, gray and brown,
also green and dark blue are among
them. Black is the most desirable of
all. There are some helios and violet
Shadow plaids are among the neat
outdoor stuffs. Other new plaids there
are rather more defined In color, yet
neat and modest. These are made with
box coats or blouse coats with shORt
skirt. Velvet or heavy black braid
trims them.
A maroon cloth gown is shown in the
Illustration without coat and with the
new broad fur piece. There are paper
underwaists made to wear beneath the
corsage which are sufficient to protect
against the cold.

Characteristic sonrn-

ut may or may not be the case that
q races temperament can be judged
from its folk songs" said a traveller on
transatlantic liner the other day,
''but it is interesting to note the diff
ference of subject matter in the songs
of various peoples.
1.-THE Irishman, for instance, seems
to sing for the most part about his
ladylove. Hardly any of his songs are
not addressed to his Somebody Ma
vourneen.'
THE Scot, on the other hand, sings
about his country and its history, as a
rule. Scots Wha Haze 'Ye Banks and
Braes O. Bonnie Doom Loeb Lomond,'
and SO on, might be taken as examples.
1.-THE Englishman, it is interesting to
note, sings about himself all the time.
His songs are about his own glory, his
ships, his men, his power. He refers
occasionally to old England, but only
as a place he made famous by his own
prowess. Unlike the Irish and the
Scotch, he sings little of his women
and his countrys beauties."-New York
Times.

CONFLICT OF STATEMENT
One Party Charges Violation Of Con-

Is No Contract.

New York, Dec. 81. = The general
managers of the railway lines enter
ing New York which are affected by
the ultimatum delivered by the yard
men, who propose to strike tomorrow
unless their request for an increase of
wages of cents an hour Is granted,
have issued a statement which says
that MANY of the roads have con-
tracts with their men running to Jan
uary, 1907, and beyond, which they
(the yardmen) now propose to repu-
date by striking at Saturday noon,
Dec. %. In the last three
years this class of labor has had its
wages increased from 33 per cent. to
80 per cent, as well as having had the
working hours reduced"
Fourth Vice Grand Master Murdoch,

men, when shown the managers state
ment said: There is no contract gov
erning the wages Of trainmen in any
part Of the New York district" He
admitted the large increase In wages
In recent years, but said his men
wanted the Chicago scale.

A receding brow, like a receding

of firm and quick intelligence. The
forehead that has projecting bumps"
over the eyes indicates observation. A

SEASONABLE WRAPS.
Coats of BroadcIoth Now Braided IN
Elaborate Designs.


This season we have an apparent va
riety of shapes for coats, but when
they are studied closely it will be seen
that the variety is more In the trim
ming than in the actual form The
long, loose coat is lined with satin, ST.
berian squirrel or some Of the cheaper
furs. Some of them have wide fur
shawl collars, but most of them are en-
tfrely collarless, having a more or less
elaborate braiding around the shout
ders. Frogs and loops close the hand
soonest, but many have straps and but
tons, and others again have invisible
fastenings.
Some have rich and beautiful de-
signs in heavy castle braid with SOU
tache along both sides of the heavier
braid. Those of the richest material
have the least trimmings, but they all,
even those with fur collars, have richly
braided cuffs. Many very taking half
fitting long and three-quarter coats are
seen in cloths of the various weights
and in the beautiful solid cheviots in
colors and black. These are strap
scanned, the sharply defined lines lend
ing grace and slenderness to the fig
ure.
There is literally no end to the differ
ent designs in trimmings for these
coats, both loose and tight ones Braids,
diamonds Of velvet or silk outlined by
braid, fancy breloques set at the ends
of straps which hang over the shout
ders and clever arrangements of vel
vet faced tabs and tiny buttons are
among them.
The richest and most elegant of these
long, loose coats are made plainly save
for the braiding ON the cuffs and
around the neck. Black chiffon broad
cloth is the favorite material Hand
some black silk braid is put along the
inside of the fronts of these coats,
plain or in a design. 1t makes finish
rendered almost necessary by the loose
fronts, which fly open.
The long opera and visiting coats are
made of ivory, cream, oyster and beige
broadcloth, and most of them are braid
ed in intricate and elaborate designs
in narrow soutache as border to the
fat heavy braids. One such coat was
shown recently of beige cloth with
cream satin lining cut from the yard
wide satin which shows no seam The
front was a solid mass Of braiding, and
the design was arranged around the
bottom in scallops, the edge being cut
out. Narrow chiffon ruching was set
along the very edge Of the scallops, and
the whole coat was q thing Of beauty.
