Womankind Is Cape Mad

No longer can the skulkipg yillan grand opera clai mexclusiveness ID taste for cloaks. Nowadays all world loves cape and there are hs berless changes rung on this drina| garment. Young society women in tl| thirst for cape novelties, have eItend their search from GreenlaDdb mountain to India's coral strand, \ have implored each period for "| yield in the way of eloaks. Conseq0e| ly, in this years wraps, we have rer sented copies of the cape worn ey functionary of the Chinese court, ~o1 of the drab cape worn by the VI Shakeress, facsimilies of all sors braided and bullioned military ." repetitions of the occult folds Wofh the Arab sheik, and adaptations 0i ponchos.

About Cloves

Few long gloves will be seen.
 Short gloves are now worn even to receptions.
 The one-button glove is more modish than the two.
 Fashionable women have long tried to taboo white and black gloves.
 Gray gloves are now enjoying much favor abroad, and biscuit colored suede is popular.
 There is a growing tendency to have the gloves match the gown in evening wear.
 Heavy cape gloves with red stitching have a mannish effect that goes well with the tailor-made.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
The New Turban

It rivals the huge hats.
 Is jammed sullenly down ovor the head
 It is not nearly so "bouffant" as in the spring.
 The size of the turban is now demon strated by the crown.
 Plush, velvet, fur and silk rae all utilized for these crowns.
 Some of the turbans aspire to round brims made of drawn silk; such brims generally have a beading edge of fur or plush.
 These are much less grotesque than the brimless toques with the gigantic bulging crown, and are likely to en- joy great popularity this winter.

dainty and even quite dressy by It. tie frills of fine m u lin or lace down each side of the front box plait. A pretty way to ar range such a frill is to have 1t about four inches wide at the neck and let it gradually become smaller until at the waist line 1t Is noth' ing more than a point. Sometimes only one such frlll is used and in such cases is placed on the left side of the box plait.
 The vogue for us- ing sheer materials to make tailored waists Is steadily increasing. and a material known as chiffon cloth is most desirable for the purpose. It has the soft appearance of an ordinary chiffon. but is much more durable. It can be had in any of the new winter shades and will require no trimming. It must. however, be made ever a foundation of soft silk. such as messaline or duchess.
 For q warmer. m orc practical W ist the non shrinkable hannels are desirable This season they can be had in soft, pretty colors and If trim med with narrow pipings of silk are really very pretty.
 This waist has ei- ther the leg O nut ton or shirt sleeve. The pattern is cut in seven sizes-from 32 to A inches bust measure. To copy this waist for the average person re quires 3la yards of material 27 inch es wide or 2S yards 36 inches wide.

FIRST An TO THE GARTER.

The Idea That Came to the Man Who
Didn't Want to Expose Himself.
It came near being a great enbar-
rassment, even though he was only a
man.
Men aren't supposed to mind such
things; but his garter vas slipping
down, and for two reasons he wasn't
anxious to make pubic exhibition of
himself in fixing 1t up. First of all,
he had a more than usually lean calf.
and, secondly, he was one of the
short underwear brigade.
But something had to he done, and
quickly, if he didn't want to risk hav-
ing some one step on the trailing gar
teri Re didn't do it himself-and
30 ether breok it or give him fall.
Then came the great idea. It took
quick work, b cause just the right
moment had to be seized.
He entered one Of the less frequent
ed-for lick If better rhrase-office
BUILDINGS which had turnstile door.
In between the leaves he stopped
down out Of vulgar sight, and in a
trice or less, had his garter fixed. He
figured that any one coming after
would delcy about pushing the door
Just long er~~~h to save hin.
Then he ke t right on around and
so into the street, satisfied in every
way. ...-.a.

Cyrus Northrop, for the past
twenty-five years president of
the University of Minnesota, an
nounces his intention to retire
at the end of the present
scholastic year. President
Northrop took the reins at
an opportune time, his predeces-
sor w. w. Folwell, having
thoroughly laid the foundations.
He has been signally successful
as the head of Minnesota's great
educational institution. Presi-
dent Northrop, while not as ap-
proachable as was President
Folwell, yet has great faculty
of managing students and is
generally loved and respected
by the student body. He is
seventy four years old and has
earned a rest. President North
rop came to the Minnesota in
stitution from Yale where he
was at the head of the English
department for twenty-one years.
President-elect w. III. Taft grad
uated under him. The place
left vacant by President North
rop's retirement will be hard to
fill, but the University is bigger
than any man and will continue
to grow and prosper.

DISSENSION CAUSE
OF WITHDRAWAL
Assistant Rector of First Pres
byterian Church Follows
DIR. Bakers Lead

OAKLAND, July 6.-Rev W. H.
Reedy, assistant pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, has followed the
action taken by the pastor, Rev. E. Z.
Baker, and has resigned, The church
has accepted Rev. Mr.. Reedys resigna-
tiOn as effective July 81.
The retirement of Rev. Mr.. Reedy
was not unexpected by his friends. He
had eXerted himself unusually in eff
forts to bring about more harmonious
relations in the church. Dissatisfac-
tion with conditions over which he
had no control led him to decide to
withdraw. He felt that, in view of
the disturbance caused by feeling over
DR.. Baker, pro and con, the wisest
course would be to retire. DR.. Reed s
explanations were to the effect that he
believed the church would benefit by
complete pastoral reorganization, in
view of DR.. Bakers action in resign
ing. DR. Baker was invited to remain
as pastor another year after his resig-
nation was presented, but he declined
10 stay. AS soon as Oakland presby-
terry acted, at his request and declared
the pulpit vacant, DR.. Baker announced
that he would leave the ministry and
go into secular life.
Rev. Mr.. Reedy has accepted a call
to the secretaryship Of the University
Of California Young Mems Christian
association. He viii devote a month to
a careful study of conditions there be-
fore beginning active work Hereto
fore the association has depended upon
student volunteers. 1t has been de-
cided that a permanent paid secretary
should be installed.
