tour some afternoon among the fash
ionable shops. There you will see the
most elaborate bathrobes and lounging
robes, all done up in stunning colors.
One handsome lounging robe, which
looked as IL it might be a garment of
state-it was so heavy and rich-was
made of beautiful Zennanah silk,
which, with other expensive qualities,
is soft and thick 1t was black and
lined with the palest lavender taffeta.
having wide turn down collar and
fastened at the neck and waist with
lavender cords.
Several others almost as rich looking
were of heavy brocaded cut velvet In
pale gray and deep crimson, looking
warm and comfortable enough to make
tired business man long for his pipe,
his easy chair and magazine by the
fire
Another, and with luxury written in
every fold of its ample glrth. was a
robe Of fine black broadcloth lined with
rich plaid, looking ever so warm and
comfortable.
But the most serviceable was a bath
robe of mercerized white cheviot, with
broad variegated stripes running to the
deep hem. 1t was lined with terry
cloth and had deep cuffs and turn
down collar Of the same. This, with
the heavy white cord at the waist, was
ever so useful and could easily be
washed.
During these last few weeks OF such
glorious weather that New York is al
most surprised out of itself there has
not been much use for fur overcoats
and only few are seen in the auto
mobiles, and automobiling has become
such universal fashion that its deyo-
tees have fads and fancies which are
very changeable.
Alaska dogskin and Russian calf
coats, all heavily lined. are very popu-
lar for motoring. One Of the oldest. yet
most beautiful. things this week was
seen one very rainy day 1t was a gen.

Practical but not Profitable


81 have here model" said the inventor
to the manufacturer, ''of an appliance
that is sure to have large sale il it is put
on the market"
''Indeed?" said the manufacturer. ''That
is most interesting. What is your inven-
tion?"
''This is combination lawn mower and
snow-shovel. By simply twisting the
knob to the left the grass-cutting mech
anism is turned into set OF paddles that
literally sweep the snow to both sides of
the path. You see, by combining both
implements in one, together with perfect
ease of operation and great saving of
space and strength, and"
"I'm sorry" interrupted the manufac-
turer, .'but it will never go. Don't you
see, BY the end of the summer the average
man is so tired of and angry with his
lawn mower that he halls the snow-shovel
with Joy, and by the end of the winter he
feels just as bitter toward the snow-shovel,
and is once more delighted to push the
lawn mower. But if you combine the
two, then he will simply have the memory
of one ever before him while he is operat-
ing the other"
Realizing the truth Of this statement,
the inventor took up his model and went
out, saying that perhaps he could twist
the thing around and convert it into a
mop-holder and dress-fitter for women,
as they will buy anything.

NEW YORK LETTER.
An Englishman, With $50 suits,
Sets the Fashions in Ties.


From wcman's standpoint there
does not seem TO be much whimsical
extravaganza in mems fashions, but
when one reads of the recent arrival OF
a certain Englishman with $50 suits
well, what of extravaganza then? And
one of his fads--it is yet to be proved
whether it will become fashion-was
what might he called a stock tie of
black silk. allowing just little bit of
his collar to be seen. Ii brings to mind
the old fashioned stock that swathed
the aristocratic necks of our great
grandfathers. only with them there
were no stiff high collars, but only the
softest and finest of mechlin.
The pastel shades still continue to be
very popular In four-in-hands, and at
ell times Of the day there are seen the
softest pinks, hunters green, heliotrope
and pale avender-indeed, so varied
are the colors that any one is fashion
able. Even the staidest old gentleman
who seldom departs from his beloved
black is seen day after day with a
smart tie of hunters green. which he
half apologies for wearing.
French four-in-hands are to be seen
everywhere, either in two and quarter
or two and a half inch sizes For after
noon or with semi dress, English
squares and puff shapes in black. white
and colored silks are worn by the best
dressers

PRESIDENT AS A PRIZE WINNER

The announcement that the Norwe-

President Roosevelt the Nobel pea.e
prize in recognition of his services in
bringing to close the war between
Russia and Japan has been received
both in this country and Europe with
general appreciation. 1t is doubtful II
SO satisfactory a conclusion to the war
could have been reached in any other
way. Not only was it termination
of a struggle between two powers
which had proved their ability to keep
in the field such large bodies OF men
as rendered it possible to prolong the
contest with increasing destructiveness
to life and property, but it removed
the danger of involving, sooner or
later, other nations as parties TO the
war. With no recognized intermediary
such as may be provided IL the princi
pie of The Hague congress becomes
thoroughly formulated and accepted
by the world powers, there was no ap
