ing. ! have been specially captivated
with the three-quarter length Louis
XVII. coats, which will be so very
fashionable this coming winter. They
are eminently becoming to well-set up
figures, and they have a careless grace
which is all their own. These coats
are shaped to the figure, yet they give
the impression of looSeness; they are
rarely worn fastened in any way in
front, and they fit after the manner
OF a driving glove; moulded to the
figure, and yet--loose.
One of the new models which won
my unqualified approval was composed
of chiffon-cloth in pastel pink--a dull
shade which had in it a touch of
mauve as we'll as salmon. The round
skirt cleared the ground and was set
in at pleatS-the latter being neatly

A significant word from Cuba since
Secretary Taft went there in effort
to bring about amicable settlement of
the revolution is that in many cases
the insurgents are becoming restless,
the discipline is bad and many are
breaking UP into bands for the pur-
pose of Independent movement with
view to plumber. The fact of the mat
ter is that many of the revolutionistS
are what might be called freebooters
and cut-throats, and have welcomed
the present state of disaffection in
Cuba as affording them an opportunity
for their lawless deeds, such as they
enjoyed in the good old days" under
Spanish rule when murder and rapine
We're events of every day occurrence.
From its earliest history there has
existed in Cuba such lawless class of
people. At one time a few genera
tons ago, they infested the coast as
pirates, swoOping down with their lit
tie sloops or schooners upon all I'M
armed vessels which CHANGED their
way, and as such they were only final
ly suppressed by the British, who as
late as the '30s, drew a Gordon around
the island outside of the three-mile
limit, which with little hesitation
they reduced to suit their convenience

years stomach disease without any

Il had stomach trouble for 20 years,

Finally a doctor who is the most
prominent physician in this part OF

me no good, only irritating my stom-

look to diet and quit drinking coffee.

Monks as Chauffeurs.

The monks of the Grand St. Ber-

chauffeurs.
After struggle lasting over year
they have received the permission
from the Valais and Italian authori-
ties to run motor car service be-

nard and Simplon-their properties
and Domodossola and Aosta.
The chauffeurs will be chosen from
the monks themselves, who will wear
cowls.
The cars, which are being specially
constructed to climb the, steep gradi-
ents, will at the beginning be en-
ployed for the transport of supplies
only. -.
Later, however, the monks intend
to start a service for tourists who
wish to visit their hospices in the
