than those of the costliest jewel or the most
bewitching garment ever evolved IN the many
sided capital that is the Mecca OF every
occidental fashion leader.
The OBJ adorns the costume, and at the
same time replaces buttons, hooks and eyes;
it marks the social status of the wearer, and
serves as a convenient pocket wherein to
carry her fan and other small belongings; and,
a certain manner prescribed by law, II
becomes a badge by means OF which the woman
Of good repute may infalhbly distinguish and
avoid her erring sister.
Worn by the masses, as well as the classes,
the obi or sash, truly is a democratic affair.
II consists of strip of cotton, silk, or other
textile about thirty inches wide and twelve
feet long, which IS folded lengthwise and
wound tightly round the body, with the fold
downward to form pocket The ends are
ted at the back in huge bow so fearfully and
wonderfully constructed that an adequate
description Of its simplest form would require
q page by itself. This singular knot resem-
tles oblong box, projecting several inches
from the shoulders and held in position by
narrow band of silk elastic, called obi

front and fastened with an ornamental clasp

means of the wearer.
The colors and decoration OF the sash, and
The form and position of the bow, are as

from which they are able not only to inform
themselves concerning the wearer's station in
life but even the district to which she belongs,
and whether she is single, married, widowed.

White being the color of mourning in the
Land of the Rising Sun, the sashes and gar

has died are of this color. 1t is not pure
white, however, but a pale drab like that
acquired by natural linen fabrics after re-
peated laundering The bridal attire also is
white but its significance in japan is different
from that which has been given to it in the

bined; but fashions in the Orient are not sub
ject to continual change, as is the case IN our
own land, and an OBJ of fine quality will last
Il lifetime, and even become an heirloom, to be
handed down from mother to daughter through
several generations. The most brilliant colOrS

change series of gifts, and if Mr.. Matsu Mura

Bradstreet's says:

DAoNoSA0oto COY
THE advance of the fall season
and the notable enlargement of the
movement of cereals and cotton to
market at good prices have made
q further moderate expansion In job
bling and retail trade and collections.
This Is especially marked at West

ricultural sections have done better
relatively than large industrial cities
in the matter of retail trade. posi-

have shown some improvement, no

little change is noted, and while the

Power From The Mines.

A central plant of S,000-horse-
power is about to be erected In the
midst of the bituminous coal fields
of Indiana. 1t Is believed that a
large saving of expense, especially
for transportation of coal, can thus
be effected. 1t is intended to dis
tribute the power over a wide terri
tory direct from the mouth Of the
mines. The distance from the plant
to Indianapolis will be about 100
miles. This will involve small loss
Of power in transmission, repairing.
according to the calculation, an in
crease of about 10 per cent. in the
amount of coal consumed above what
1t would be If the coal were burned
at the points where the power Is
used. But the saving in other re-
spects is expected to much more than
counter-balance this slight disadvant-
age.

An Intelligent Turtle.

Ray Hadley and Thad Williams
think they have the most intelligent
turtle in the world The say tina!
though it can not talk, it can think.
The turtle was caught in pond
near here and as each boy claimed
a share in it, they decided one should
keep the turtle two days and then
it should be turned over to the 9TH
er for two days. Yesterday the boys
forgot to transfer the turtle, and this
morning when young Williams went
to the turtles tub he found it gone.
Search was instituted without sue
cess until this afternoon, when the
turtle was found endeavoring to
climb into the other tub, its home,
in the backyard of the Hadley home.
Evidently the turtle remembered the
date, and had crawled the entire
distance between the homes, which
is more than block, making the
trip by the alleys. the route always
adopted by the boys. 1t seemed
pleased, but almost exhausted, when
found.-Indianapo News.
