material splendidly adapted for tailor
made costumes. Some of the navy
/ blues and blacks are selected by the
+ conservative dressers. Sachs shows,
also, some stunning coats in full
/ length patterns in garnet, champagne,
! white and brown, in this material.
/ These have the popular kimono sleeve.
The cravenette coats are necessities
/ here during the winter months when
! the rain is plentiful. Indeed this Ter
I ritory has rain enough to warrant the
| dealers taking up the output of one
ordinary sized factory that craven
! cites the cloth for garments. This year
/ the style is to be the seni-fitting
model and the colors Oxford and tan
The millinery atmosphere around the
Sachs corner is inviting. Feathers are
j everywhere and they seem to drop on
the show hats where they will be the
/ most attractive. The great big hats,
a style created by none knows who, or
for what purpose, have the place of
honor there as everywhere else and it
may be accepted as the story which
shows the directions of the fashionable
set in the matter of head wear In
one instance there was a hat with
black plumes which must have fallen
TO the shoulders of the wearer The
Gage hats have a leading place in this
store and the assortment for children
is large and good.
An entirely different style of gar
ment, both as to material and style, is
that shown in the cases at Wichman's |
Where some of those mentioned have !

counterfefts they might be called, |

difficult TO distinguish, here at Wich-
mans is to be found the genuine old
blown-in -the-bottle kimono effects.
Genuine because they are direct from
the land of the chrysanthemum, the
land where the delicate silks are made
and where the deft hands of Japanese
maidens weave the strands of silk into
shapes which charm the eye and cap
ture the fortunes of men and women
For these garments are not of the low
price variety, such beautiful things
are not to be had for a song. The
and full length coats come
directly under the head of Mandarin
wraps. Shape, design Of embroidery,
texture of the silk and, perhaps, the
shade of material adj go to prove them !
worthy place on the back of the
mandarin. A pale blue, embroidered
IN vine branches and the flying phoe-
nix, is a glorious conceit. The shade :
Is so different from other blues as to
appear belonging to another class The
Alice blue, a color that was a fad
but of which the average
woman is heartily sick, appears in the )
collection. Some of the patterns fol-
owed by the needle of the embroiderer
lave been woven in the material and !
he combination of the machine
wrought and that made by hand is
pleasing. A long white coat with !.
hrysantherums trailing up half the !.
more attractive than those with the :
berry blossom tracing or the one F
howing the snow covered twigs and
caves. The kimonos represent the
nest line ever brought to the country
nd the embroidery is exquisitely
'eautiful
These garments look to be above the
urse of the average woman but such
5 not the case. There are hundreds
ERE who can wear them and not feel
hat they are doing their husbands an
injustice. And where is the husband I
rho would not have his wife look as
veil as the other fellows even if he
ad to make sacrifices to compete. The
heater season is approaching, two
laces of amusement are to have at
ractions and every we'll dressed wo-
nan will want to have something diff
erent.
