TRIM COATS FOR SMALL FOLKS.
Coats for small folks are con
constructed a bit differently from
those worn by older girls. These are
cut with loose front as well as back
but at the same time Il Is narrow.
In proportion the basque is longer
often reaching one-third down the
skirt and retaining its narrow shape
less cut. The sleeves are of simple
coat style being of full length while
dress sleeves usually end at the ell

A separate wrap which Is much In
vogue among young girls is the loose
medium length coat of shepherds

favorite being white lined with black

every sort of dress from the knocka-

coats bit different in shaping are be-
ing worn by young and Older women
They do not appear so well upon any
one as upon the girl for whom they
were originally intended. Taffeta
coats of similar style are also worn
but are not so popular nor suitable
| for youthful wearers.
LINGERIE HATS FASHIONABLE.
Hats for the young folks are mostly
broad and of the capeline order The
straws are supple so that they may
be readily pinched up into any sort
Of shape. The fabric hat-that Is
to say OF batiste or linen, is OF broad
shape and very becoming. These are
more popular than last year II pos

any occasions according to the hat
These are sitter than the straw hats

Called Shonts' Bluff

Railroad men are telling OF a recent
experience OF Mr.. Shonts, the head Of
the Panama Canal Commission. Shonts,
rs president OF the Glover Leaf Sys-
TEN. was travelling on a pass. He was
approached by a conductor. who APP
peared 10 be about as husky a speci-
men OF manhood as Shonts is..and who
told him he would have to pay extra
fare or ces~e occupying the drawing
room OF the parlor car. Shonts pro-
duced his pass. but the conductor said
the agreement between the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad and the fennsyi-
yanla System was that passholders
could not occupy drawing-rooms I'M
less they paid extra fare. Shonts re-
marked that he would not pay extra
fare. The conductor declared Shonts
would pay or be put out. Shonts man
aged TO conceal his feelings well
Ienough to inquire with a show of
calmness who would conduct the eject

that he would undertake the job
Shonts said he did not believe he could
do II. The conductor then told Shonts
to produce the money in ten minutes
or be elected. The conductor went
away and returned on schedule time
