COMING wesT.
Shoe Industry Gradually Leaving
Eastern Coast.

Massachusetts, and Connecticut are
generally thought of as the big shoe
manufacturing states, but, as the great
west has become more densely popu-
lated, these states are slowly losing
prestige.
Wisconsin, for instance, has the
largest manufacturer of full vamp
shoes in the world--The #. Mayer
Boot & Shoe Co, of Milwaukee. The
market for this company's product is
the great west from the Mississippi
to the Pacific. Undoubtedly 1t Is Mil
waukoe's nearness TO this great west
market which is responsible for the
great growth of this concern which
has been in proportion to the growth
of the west. In the last 20 years they
have outgrown six factories. Includ-
ing the new Seattle factory nearly
completed and the Milwaukee factory
annex built this last year the total
capacity of the Mayer Boot & Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs per day,
which already mas been inadequate to
meet the demand Of the west.

MANNIsH STYLES FOR WOMEN.
costumers Favor Severe Lines In
Feminine Costumes.

The ladies' costumer Is seeking in
spiration from the mems tailor. The
latest fashion in jackets is modelled
ON the lines of mans dinner coat
There is great demand not only for
styles, but also for materials which
have hitherto been worn only by
men.
One Of the smartest patterns Is cut
like a gentleman's coat, the fronts
trimmed with long lapels of silk that
close at the face with an, enamel link
button. Although this style. iJ par
ticularly smart it exemplifies the
idiosyncracies of fashion. A coat
which is supposed to be warm wrap
does not live up to it's title when the
fronts open to disclose the bodice or
blouse, and many people may prefer
comfort and the double-breasted
model. Slit sleeves are also novelty
of this seasons coats, and this is an
other mode which is uncomfortable
and rather chilly.

RunaWaYS.

When you were just little chap,
About as tall as So"
Sometimes your skies grew very dark,
And you were full of woe.
And you were prone to run away
And cave no trace nor track;
But oh, when night came on how glad
You were to wander back.
You got out where the woods were denss
And everything was strange:
You had d nameless dread of what
Lay far beyond the range.
And so you turned your fearful face
To the old chimney stack;
And how much more secure you fell
When you were going back.
Again. when you were in your teens.
Headstrong, as boys will be,
When you and your stern parents failed
AT something to agree.
You packed up in a hum and left,
For where. you had no ken,
Declaring you would meier return
Beneath their roof again.
But by and by you softened down
And thought of home and friends,
And, rushing back at close OF day,
You sought to make amends
All! Friends are friends, and home is
home;
In palace. cot or shack;
And though, sometimes, we run away,
It's good to wander back.

most attractive.
Closely resembling the hussar tur.
bans are the new polo shapes for boys
of three and four years of age. These
hats are made entirely of astrakhan

with cord. Black, white, navy and
red and brown are the colors in which
these are made.

Some of the newest are entirely of
curly bear skin, stifIly trimmed with a
little white ribbon, others are of felt
decorated with the fur.
The old Peter Pan style is also COW

Worsted toboggan toques show no
real change, except different kind of
weave in the knitting.
Tams in Angora are serviceable for
both boys and girls school wear. They
are warm, yet very light in weight.
These may be secured in white and
colors.
For afternoons small boys wear tam
shapes in cloth, velvet and serge, the
emblem embroidered on the left side
of the crown. Colors may generally
be found to match the coats worn

Leather tams are smart and serv-

HATS FOR CHILDREN
PRETTY STYLES MADE UP. IN
MANY MATERIALS.
Glengarry Bonnet Is Perhaps the Pref
test and Most PopuIar--Hussar
Turban in White Also Has
Wide Vogue.

The Glengarry bonnet--Scotch plaid
lis the newest headwear for small
girls and boys, and is jaunty looking
and usually becoming when placed at
the right angle above the forehead
amid mass of fluffy curls or on neat
ly plated braids. That this style hat
will be a favorite seems certain, be-
cause it is so different from other mod
els.
In making such bonnet the mate
rials used are astrakhan, cloth, velvet,
chinchilla; the band plain or in tartan.
The trimming is fiat bow of ribbon,
with or without quill, ribbon ends
finishing the back.
Some OF these bonnets are finished
with ear flaps, which make them al
most as warm as hoods.
Another pretty style of hat is the
hussar turban in all white. The crown
Is of white broadcloth, draped, the
point held down with a white silk
pompon. The brim is of white astra-
khan and the front is draped with
strands of white silk cord. Ear flaps
of astrakhan can be added This
model may be bought. in black, red

So, in the luxurious room, the strug-
gle began, the life and death angel
closing in combat. Godfrey billing
ham,. in the terrible, trying days that
followed, bending over that slight, be-
loved form, realized for the first time
what his sin had been; the misery he
must have caused his wife. the pride
that had blinded him to all parental
claims. With old Martin Chuzzlewit,
he could but exclaim: "Self-self-
self" And now she would die and
leave him.
He walked to the window and look
ed across the bare and frozen fields.
And they have loved her, too" he
murmured. "Oh, Elizabeth, my wife.

He would send for them now, he
whispered AS If in answer to his
thoughts, the kindly physician raised

he said. "She will reach the crisis
before "a hours, and-she may not
pass it."

Mrs. Tracy came out and held up the
yellow sheet.
Father, father" she cried, tremb-
lingly, "a dispatch has come from
Dexter, and Elizabeth is dangerously
sick"
Jim and Andrew went, too
They reached Dexter that night, but
she did not know them All that night
Jim and Andrew walked restlessly
about, but Ephraim Tracy sat, pa
thetic, bowed figure, by his daughters
bed. His son-in-law had asked him to
his house at last, but alas-for this.
But 1t was the fathers hand that ad-
ministered the needed nourishment,
the fathers hand that smoothed the
damp and curling hair, the fathers
hand that held the pale and wasted
one, and Godfrey Dillingham;, as he
watched, too, for the first time in his
life saw, In the despised old man.,

Night passed and ii was the day be-
fore Thanksgiving. The doctor came,
and with his practiced eye detected

Elizabeths husband stood, gray and
haggard, awaiting his verdict.

morrow will be Thanksgiving cay.

And you're all hege," she whis-
pered, happily. "Oh, I've been so
sick, but this repays me for it ALL"
She smiled at them, her old, sweet
smile, and then she murmured: kiss
me, all of you, for ! am so-hapSy."
They kissed her, as she asked, with
full and thankful hearts, and quietly
went away
The room was quiet now, with only
her husband beside her. Elizabeth
turned her eloquent eyes to his. Those
eyes, that, he had feared might never

immaculate front. This risk can be all
together avoided by providing some
such useful kind of case as the one
shown in our sketch. This case might
be made in serge or silk, stiffened with
brown holland, or with linen in some
pale coloring.

Capes are first choice for wraps

so easily adjusted that they commend
themselves both for those who count

YOUNG MANS BRIGHT IDEA.
Some People, However, May See Self
lshness in Suggestion.

The head of certain Pittsburg
manufacturing concern Is an old gen.
tleman who built up his business
from nothing by his own logged and
persistent toll, and who has never felt
that he could spare the time for a va
cation. Not long ago, however, he de-
cided that he was getting along in
years, and that he was entitled to
rest. Calling his son into the library,
he said:
Tom, I've worked pretty hard for
quite a while now and have done
pretty well, so have about decided
to retire and turn the business over to
you. What do you say?"
The young man pondered the situa-
ton gravely. Then a bright idea
seemed to strike him. Say, pop" he
suggested, how would 1t do for you to
