"Our business is off more than 20 per cent,

Retailers nave noticed the decline in the
meat trade. The manager of the meat de-
partment in one of Omaha's big depart
ment stores said:
THE day after The Bee published the
story telling of the advance in the prices
Of meat. was one of the worst days We
have ever had in this shop. No one wanted
meat and our cutters stood around all day.
Still we were glad to have the newspapers
announce the advance, as II prepared the
customers for the increase. They knew
just what to expect and we did not have
to explain hundreds of times"
Decline in Trade is watched.
Financial papers are watching the de-
cline in the meat trade with considerable
anxiety and wondering what the dividend

VARIETY IN THE NEW COATS
Mania for Greek Effects is COnspicu-
Gus in This Seasons
Models.

So much may be said Of this seasons
coats that one hardly knows where to be-
gin, but the three sketched in the illustra-
ton furnish inspiration and represent GER
tain ultra modish types.
The cretonne coat was a successful model
turned out by a Broadway house. In design
and color the material was exquisite, soft,
dull, a trifle yellowed, as though by age.
The cut, though simple, was good, and the
original note OF the model consisted i'm the
green and ecru buttons and ornaments,
made by setting large French knots Of
green silk very thickly upon an ecru
ground, with green ~taffeta to match intro
duced elsewhere in loops, etc.
The mania for Greek draperies. Tan
agra effects, etc, has extended into the
realm of the coats, and various wonder
fully draped cloaks are worn by Parisians-
draped coats not so much on the order of
the burnous and kindred models popular
during recent seasons as upon the lines Of
the toga, tunic, etc. The cloak illustrated
here is a representative specimen of this
class and would of course demand a ma
terial exceedingly supple and light Of
weight-the finest chiffon b~roadcloth, Lib
erty satin. crepe or other soft material.
Moreover, such draperies require genuine
artistic skill in the designer and maker,
for a single false line would ruin their eff
feet. On a slender woman such a cloak in
some Of the beautiful modish colorings and
absolutely untrimmed save for some hand
some buckle or |passementrie fastening on
the shoulder is a picturesque garment that
would delight the eye of an artist.
Less reek in feeling, but very graceful
and Partisan is the third cut. This. cloak,
though very original. need not present
iscourag ing difficulties to a dressmaker,
provided the material chosen is supple
enough to fall readily into graceful folds.
The little pelerine upon which the drapery
is hung and which serves as waistcoat and
sleeves, is not complicated Of line, and al
| though It is entirely covered with soutache,
embroidered and would be ineffective with
out such embroidery, any woman should
be able to do this braiding without great
effort after the material has been stamped
carefully. The construction of the drapery
is simple, too, and though a metal or
jeweled buckle may be used on the shoulder
a buckle covered with the tussor of which
the cloak was made was used upon the
original model. The braiding at the bottom
is not obligatory, though it adds consider
ably to the smartness of the coat.

as the beef trust" all of which are
largely capitalized and the securities of
which are held by people widely scattered.
Swift and company has increased its
capital stock from $500, 600 in 1856 to $780,
O0,mo at the present time and 1t has been
paying Z per cent annually since 1895.
Next month the dividend period is due
and 1t is a question whether 7 per cent
can be paid on such capitalization even
when the packers are receiving such high
prices for their meats.
What the people are using TO take the
place of meat on the tables is a mystery
to some market keepers, but they have
been selling more poultry and fish. while
fresh country eggs are hardly set out Of
the cases until they are sold. Poultry
Is some higher as a result of the demand
and the commission houses have published
the following prices at which they buy live
poultry; hens, 10 cents; brollers, 20 cents
ROSTERS, 6 cents; capons, 10 cents; tur-
keys, IA cents, The commission houses are
paying Is cents for eggs.

said a fat man In a linen buster who had
been observing the preparations with much
interest.
The fat man said he used to be a con-
ductor and no one could give him pointers
about how many people could get into II
car. Couldn't fool him. Oh, MOI But the
crowd outside became smaller and the cars
didn't seem to get fuller and in the end
every one, together with the teachers,
was aboard. Then the fat man said that
anyway they couldn't get a single other
one on. Probably he was right about that.
Then the signal was given and away
moved the cars up on the Douglas street
bridge and away into Iowa. Each one
seemed to be a bee hive Of yelling young
sters and the atmosphere was certainly
badly punctured.
All Of the teachers were there to take
care of the children. Miss Magee, Of course,
was everywhere at once. Among the other
teachers were Miss Nina Mcdowell. Mrs.
c. II. Withe, Miss Ruth Brandeis, Mrs.
Shinrock, Miss Emily Chase, Miss Florence
Liljirose. Mrs. Field, Mrs. Nellie Patton,
Mrs. Kilgore. Mrs. Brenhold, Mr.. Reynolds,
Carl Wilson and Fred Kavan.
Miss Halle Hood was also there with the
children of the mission at Fourteenth and
Nicholas streets. There were also children
from the Child Saving institute, the Chapel
of the Carpenter and others. Also a few
mothers were taken along, hard working
mothers, who look forward to this day as
eagerly as the children.
Doctor Ready for Mishaps.
The picnic had its own doctor in case
anv Of the children should eat too much
or any other accident should happen. This
was DIR. c. E. Rooney. But in none of the
five picnics which have been held by the
mission has a single child been Ill or lost
or hurt.
To describe the fun at Lake Manawa
would be impossible. The roller coaster,
the merry-go-round. the miniature rail-
way and all the other attractions were
thrown open free to the missionites. There
was but one forbidden pleasure. They must
not go near the water. They could look at
It, but they must keep at a safe distance.
But who cared for that when there was
more JOY on land than they could get away
with.
OF course the street railway company
carried the crowd to and from the lake
free OF charge, and of course. all the
lunches were put up by the several
churches of the city for the occasion.
1t was a grand day with that greatest of
human happiness, the happiness of doing
good to others.
