A coat that can be easily slipped IN to cover the dress is most necessary.
The two we show here are Just the things to fill this need. They are both
suitable to be reproduced in alpaca, fine serge cloth, or Shantung.
The first is close fitting; it is double-breasted, being fastened with large
buttons and drawn in at the waist by a band that is passed under the strap
each side front and fastened at waist. The sleeves aef full, so that they VIII

The second is a perfectly loose sipon coat; the sides, although appearing
to be laced together, are really sewn on under the lacing. Wide silk braid
with tasseled ends is used for the lacng, a still wider braid trims the neck,
the ends are passed through openings cut in the coluh, and are finished with
tassek.
For the first costume is designed a ht of fine straw, trimmed with feath-

majesty.
Within a few minutes, Huda, his
trunk packed for his vacation, was
ushered into the regal presence, well
knowing that the signs had been
switched under his eyes.

sultan, rising from the diyan.

The days routine over, the sultan
re-seated himself upon the divan and
thought of what had best be done.
Finally he decided that there could
be no place just like jail as a punish

However, the story goes, the former
student of the stars will offer up his

Previously everything had looked
splendid to the monarch. The Young
Turks had not objected to his harem
until Huda got in bad with the planets
and many of that party had promised
to leave the country rather than be
called to ~purgatory by decapitation.
Now all was changed. 1t certainly
must have been the star expert, the
ruler unused to himself. His staunch

that there was nothing to the talk OF

The reported Jacobson gathering at
Minneapolis was not, in fact, a prear-

rather casual meeting, with politics
entering into the conversation, in
which the name of jacobson had first

Jacobson candidacy further thought

launch the movement in Jake's be-
