which are usually made in the box or
semi-ftted shape and fastened with gun
metal buttons. Caracul coats are also
worn and are made up is very smart
styles. At this establishment IN display
ed a very chic little jacket Of this fur
made with vest of Persian embroidery
and jannty collar faced with velvet and
trimmed at the seams and around the
bottom with fancy black braid.
An Elegant Jacket
Another jacket is III kimono effect.
THIS also had vest Of Persian trimming
and is lined throughout with brocade,
which, by the way, is the fashionable
lining for fur coats this season. Mink,
chinchilla, Persian lamb and seal skin
are used for coats and are made up into
some very modish garments both short
and long. The fur coats intended for
evening are very luxurious indeed. One
imported model is in broadtail cut full
length in q particularly graceful shape
and having Vatican pleat at the back.
Another evening coat of the same fur has
ar. artistic triming of black velvet flowers
set off with touches of gold.
Neck Pieces, Mufs and Boas
Neck pieces in pelerine Shape are most
fashionable especially III mink. The
handsomest skins are this year put ID al

WOMEN FARM HANDS

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Oct. 26-Polish
women may selye the problem of the
scarcity Of farm labor in New England.
While the fact Is not being exploited il
is known that on scores Of Connecticut
Valley onion and tobacco farms the brunt
of the work has been performed this sea-
son h"1 Polish woman and girls attir-
ed inl Ills and jumpers and from q
short Aance not distinguishabfe from
the men with whom they labor.
When farm wages reached $l.75 and So
per day few womel were pressed into
service. Skirts we're found to be objec-
tionable as they brushed against and in
iured the tender plants. Short dressas
were suggested but one young woman
thought out q better plan and appeared
for work in the regulation overall and
jumper. The owner of the onion pianta-
ton made no objection and the example
quickly spread.
In the culture of onions and tobacco
Polish women were found more deft than
male help, and the sturdy daughters OF
the old country found ready employment,
invariably with the stipulation that they
wear oyeralls and jumpers. As the sum-
mer progressed most of the women dis
carded shoes and stockings.
The endurance of the feminine farmers
was found to exceed that of male help
and the farmers of Whately, Hatfield
Sunderland and other towns state that
hereafter they win employ no men il
women can be found.
Most Of the Polish women abandoned
positions as domestics positions which
did not pay more than S3 or 81 per week.
Because ofthe national scarcity of house
hold servents the women ran no risk in
relinqnishing the less profitable occupa-
ton.
The women worked side by side with
the men and seemingly the sterner sex
saw nothing strange in the fact that the
women sIiouId be paid the same wages
as the men,

NEW YORK FASHIONS

The present year may be said TO have
styles wholly exclusive and suggesting
nothing that has been worn in past sea-
sons. Peculiar pendant ornaments, braid
frogs, and fancy loops OF cords are all pop
ular. Silk braids Of all sorts are also
used and in many cases these trimmings
are very fancy and show free use of
crochet wheels, open stitches and the adj
ditien of small buttons aud ornaments.
This is especially the case in regard tt,
evening toilettes which are distinctly
-novei. The latest idea from Paris is tie
evening gown with guinps. This guimpe
which is usually OF lace, chiffon, gauze or
thin silk OF some sort, takes the form Of q
full blouse with low neck and short sleeves
Over this is worn boiero of the Japanese
type or straps from the skirt run up over
the shoulders TO form bretelles.
Net And Lace For Evenings

tremely fashionable for evening wear at

MANY LANDS SENDING GOLD
Shipments on Way From Germany, Eng.
land, Mexico and Argentina


BERLIN, May. 6th.-A considerable sum
in gold was taken from the Imperial Bank
to-day for export to the United States
and further Withdrawals are probable.
The officials OF the bank are watching the
American situation with much interest
and some anxiety, but they are not dis
posed posed 10 ats4.zzi bate he present
ance of the German money market wholly

French exchange here is now above the
gold point, which apparently is not due
to the American demand for gold, but
probably to unfortunate speculations in
copper and Kafirs at Paris.
France Aids Bank Of England
PARIS, Nov. 5th.-The Bank Of France
to-day made its first shipmento OF gold 10
the Bank of England to relieve the ten
sion there caused by the American
demands. The Bank of France, at the
request Of the Bank Of England, pur-
chased sS, ,000, 600 time sterling bills, re-
mitting for them English soyereigns and
American eagles.
Big Gold Shipments To-day
LONDON, Nov. 9TH The United States
this afternoon purchased another con-
signment OF gold, amounting to ESQ, 900,
from the Bank Of England. Canada also
took s25, 900 in soyereigns, presumably
for the United States.
A large quantity Of gold will be shipped
to New York tomorrow on the White
Star Line steamer Oceanic.

which she has been accusto1lee
last year.
That the prospective reduction iis
cost of foodstuffs is or will be due to tN%
stringency in the money market and the
consequent drawing in OF business lines
the big dealers are loath to admit. Il is
too early, they say, totell how far reach
ing the financial depression will be and
therefore too early to tell how sooa the
prosperity prices for foods will drop.
The certainty of fall ia prices unless the
financial situation is Immediately cleared
is generally admitted.
According to M. j. Sulzberger, vice.
president OF the Schwarzchild & Sulzber-
ger Co., drop in the cost of beef of the
peerer grades may be looked for at any j
time.
"The price Of meat 70 the consumer
depends on the cattle receipts at Chicago
and other Western pointe,p said Mr..
Sulzberger, "and these receipts just now
are light At Chicago, for instance, Mon
days receipts were q 900 head as COM

Monday. But in the face OF these figures
the cost of the poorer quality of meat

choice beef, the corn fed product of the
Middle West that is known in the trade
as native beef, look for no reduction in
price because the supply is short. =

How 10 Attract Home Trade.

Some merchants and other
business men complain because
the people do not patronize home
industries.
The newspaper is a home in
dustry.
Most of these complainers do
not patronize this paper.
Now, this paper has adverts-
ing space for sale.
suppose a man or woman
wants a certain thing, finds it adj
vertised in mail order catalogue
and does not find it advertised in
the paper. what will the man or
woman do? Why, send to the
mail order house, of course.
BY persistent and intelligent
advertising you are sure to at
tract anu keep much of the trade
that now goes off by mail to the
city.

Home Trade Hints.

The home trader is the HON,
builder.
The man who trades at home
knows a good trade when he sees
it.
When youtrade at home instead
of by mail order you save both
postage and prestige.
Lots of women refuse to take
mail orders. but they are so fond
Of sending mail orders that they
risk their cash that way
Some women sweep disdain-
fully by bargains in the home
stores and send to a big city lust
because they like to get mail.
In my opinion the man or wo.
man who trots around to the
postoffice to mail money to the
big city mail order houses and
then trots around to a neighbor's
and complains that this town is
no good is neither a philosopher
nor a patriot.
