pleats with box pleat back and front.
The coat is semi-ftting and 3s inches In
length. 1t has a strapped effect laid on
the front and back seam, this narrowing
at the waistline and broadening toward
the shoulder. There are inset pockets
sleeves and a conventionally tailored col
lar faced with velvet. The fabric Is
brown and mole gray stripe. and with
the suit is worn a brown velvet hat
trimmed with mole gray feathers, com

the glossee brown kid boots.
Corduroy suit From Paris.
A peculiar greenish blue, called abroad,
hlibustier, is the shade chosen for this
dressy coat costume of corduroy. The
skirt is demi- trained, cut in seven cores
and pleated at intervals into the waist
band. The trimming Is a broad band
formed of two bias pieces of the mate
rial mitred in the center. The coat
reaches almost to the kneeline, is semi
fitting, and opens in wide revers over
an elaborately braided and embroidered
vest. This Inter is of pale blue broad
cloth; the embroidery includes applica-
tions of black satin outlining threads OF
gold. There are pocket faps set on the
hips and strappings of black satin that
finish the three-quarters length sleeves.
The coat is a cross between the Colonial
and Director style. The hat is of the
blue velvet, the brim In front rolling
abruptly near the edge and the crown
encircled with huge wreath Of blue and
purple morning glories.

Many women OF refined taste refused
to fall In with the now-past craze for
paper soled low shoes and gauze stockings
for the street; these are beautiful only in
their proper sphere. which In winter. at
least is indoor service. Even those wom-
en- who accepted the fad for low foot

1t became the fashion OF the factory

brought about this change in footwear
might be an interesting study; but we
will leave that to the paragraphers. and
talk foot fashions.

vogue. Indeed, we might look for their
early disappearance from the realm of
the well-dressed. They are too glaringly
vivid for general wear in public. The
darker and richer tones that contain much
black and are rather on the plum tinge
than purple are shades that will survive
the early fall among well-dressed people.
Paquin blue, as 1t is called, is very
beautiful shade. 1t is a blue blue without
tinge of purple or pink or yellow In 1t.
Even more than the purple it is put forth
by the great French master of designs
In his models this shade of blue lnvari-
ably has some trimming in black. In fact.
the shade itself contains great deal Of
black, and 1t is worth noting that It is
a far more beautiful and becoming tone
than the excessively talked Of Copen-
hagen.
The long coats of the season have
brought with them long vests. One can
best describe the long coats of the dressy
suits as Colonial. That is, the type of
coat worn by the dandies of '78 and that
period. They are Louis XIV as WELL and
have the long waist and elaborate vest
of that time. These vests are frequently
provided with pockets, although the pock-
cts do not show when the outer coat is
in place. They are made of heavy bro
cades. and of almost solid braidings and
embroidery. There are other vests of
waist length and others still shorter,
merely crossing high on the bust line.
The sleeves of these dressier suits are
usually three-quarter length. In some
instances they are of the japanese nature
and cut In one with the body of the coat.
or inserted in very wide arm-size, but
this Japanese vogue is not by any means
universal. There are very many of the
coat costumes that have rather simple
sleeves pleated into the armhole In the
regulation fashion and decorated with
one or two cuffs The sleeve, indeed, is
behaving quite sanely In the latest mod
els that come Il us from Paris. 1t is
neither extremely large nor ridicuously
small, and Is simple and graceful rather
than fussy and elaborate.

Fashion Notes.

The Square Enve1oping Veil Of
woven dot net is convenient and smart.
There is an under face veil work of
course, this being a part Of every smart
toilette to-day. The square veil is dropped
from the hat, the ends brought around
and caught in the back with long veil
pin. The square veil is always used as
a protection or cover veil, and is not con-
sidered by smart dressers In the light Of
a decoration. 1t is removed when In

next summer. 1t is said of the New York
woman that she is typically the woman
In white. No matter what the styles, she
almost invariably wears pure white neck
wear She knows perfectly well the
dainty chic appearance Of the white
throat finish. For the last four or five
years she has adopted white for her
summer wardrobe. In wash fabrics she
finds it more economical than colors, since,
1t is safe from fading by sun and laun-
dry. In the past two seasons she has
added white shoes and hosiery to her
summer outfit, and this summer she has
adopted white gloves most extensively.
Soft Cotton Crepes patterned with
Japanese landscapes are finding extensive
use in dainty negligees of the Japanese
type. One very novel garment of this
character shows the sleeve to be perfect

An Elaborately Braid
ed Model.

This model splendidly illustrates the
new arrangement of trimmings this sea
son. Instead of braids and strappings ap-
piled in twists and scrolls. we have the
straight line arrangements. The graceful
skirt of this model has for trimming, ap.
plications of velvet covered with SOU
tache braiding pattern and bordered with
a straight braid. These are applied to
form a border just above the skirt hem.
The half length coat has an elaborate
pattern of soutache Rbraiding across the
shoulders and front and back thus out
lined, and the skirt of the coat outlined
with the straight edge braid. There is a
long Colonial vest to this coat made quite
solid with gold, silver and colored en-

POOR CAME
AT ANN ARBOR
MICHIGAN AND PENNSYLVANIA
MAKE POOR SHOWING AT BIG
GAME SATURDAY. NEITHER
SIDE GIVES CLASS EXHIBITION

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 10
PENNSYLVANIA won poorly played
game from Michigan, 6 to 0, Satur-
day Pennsylvania took the lead
early in the conteset on a tumble
and held it throughout. Both teams
made touchdowns in the second half
but neither score was allowed.
Neither team had any offense to
|speak of, so neither gained ground
consistently. Michigan's showing
was the poorest made in years in a
big game Yost 1t would seem, is
not the success under the new style
Of play that he was under the old.
It was such a poor exhibition of
football all around that neither team
can be spoken OF as typifying either
the Western or Eastern game.
Up to the time Of the first and
only score all the play had been in
IMichigan's territory. Line plunges
and punting had been INDUCED in on
both sides when Magoffln fumbled a
punt and Zeigler got 1t on Michigan's
thirteen-yard line. Keinath made a
fair catch Of Hammond's punt and
made a short on-side kick. Gallagher
got the ball, ran sixteen yards for
the touchdown.
In the second half, Hollenbeck, on
fake kick, went to Michigan's
twenty-fve-yard line A forward
pass, Keinath to Scarlet. advanced
the ball ten yards. Then Keinath
sent long forward pass to Pauxtis
who rolled over the goal line with
the ball, but the play was not al
lowed and Pennsylvania was penal
lied fifteen yards.

stay at home When W. S. c. was
playing weak teams and rolling up
large scores, the students were at
the highest point of enthusiasm all
the time, but now they have come
down a notch or two. While they
do not blame the team for the Idaho
defeat and in no way knock the
players, they have lost some of their
ardor. While they are confident the
team will defeat Washington, they
realize that comparative scores mean
nothing in this day of up to date
football, and will not take the
chance of going to Seattle Just to see
the crimson and gray defeated.

PULLMAN, Wash, Nov. 19.-The

WACO, Tex, Nov. 19.-The Texas
Federation of Women's clubs began
it's tenth annual session In this city
today under conditions perhaps more
favorable for a successful meeting
than ever before in the history of
the organization.
The delegates, who arrived in
large numbers last night and this
morning, found the arrangements
for their entertainment to be of the
most perfect and elaborate character.
The Business Mems club and other
organizations and individuals coop
Grated with the City Federation of
Women's clubs in the arrangement
of programme of entertainment.
The opening of the convention
took place today in the Majestic
theatre, which was tastefully deco
rated for the occasion. The gath
ering was called to order by Mrs.
Cone Johnson of Tyler, president of
the state federation. The exchange
of greetings, reading of reports and
appointment of committees occupied
the greater part of the opening ses-
sion.
The proceedings will continue I'M
til Saturday. A wide variety of top
les will be discussed and there will
be addresses by prominent women of
Texas and several other states.
