BUSINESS INCREASES MORE THAN TWENTYFOJRF FOLD
At DARNALL g JONES' PLUMBING ESTABLISHMENT


eve have contemplated inaugurating
an instanment plan arrangement for
those who desire new bathroom out
fits, or other repairs, to be paid for in
regular monthly payments. This is
something as yet not specialized in the
plumbing trade. Many people desire
repairs OF to put in new work, but do
not feel inclined 10 spend the full
amount Of cash required for the i'm
provements.
I'VE have become convinced that there
is no reason this plumbing may not
be installed and PAID for just as a house,
keeper would furnish his or her home
with other necessities. We have decided,
therefore, to inaugurate an instaHment
plan department to our business, and
win be glad TO furnish estimates on
this basis. we propose to make it a
feature in future, and believe that st
w1lI be an innovation appreciated by the
private residence owner as well as the
landlord, or an apartment. or a row Of
houses.
Guarantee Saving.
"YOu may also say that we guarantee
anyone in need Of anything IN our line
a saving Of from 10 TO % per cent as
compared with the prices made by
others. We are here TO care for tie
business. no order being too small or
too large FOR our attention and appre-
citation"
Reverting to the $50 bathroom out

famous when it first entered business,
Mr. Jones said. 1--WE placed this ad-
vertisement in Tho Times We have
never had an fdee- It would take so. and
we have~so outfits from the ad as FAR

AssuredIy there's a reason when any
business increases in volume and value
twenty-fourfoId in "a short commercial
life Of nineteen months. Many people
may regard such a feat as almost i'm
possible. until shown TO the contrary,
just as a Times representative was en-
lightened yesterday at the offices of
DarnalI & Jones. plumbing experts, at
72O Thirteenth street northwest
Tt has remained for this young
Washington firm to accomplish this re
markabIe feat and at the same time
show the reason therefor. Their books
prove that the business today is TWEEN
ty-four times greater than when the
firm made it's modest beginning less
than two years ago. They point with
pride" to a long line Of satisfied new
and old customers, with never a kick
or an imperfect job to mar the record,
as the reason.
Saw Opening.
Nineteen months ago J. Carl Darnau
and Wilbur c. Jones, saw the opening
for an expert plumbing establishment
of this kind. For twenty-six years AIr.
Darnau had been connected with a
large local plumbing and supply CON
Germ. lie knew the business from the
ground up, and this. is. proven by the
fact that. he superintendent such plumb
ing contracts as the installation Of the
intricate work-a stoneleigh Court, the
Highlands. Kenesaw. and other large
apartment houses ut the time they
were respectively built
Mr.. Jones. the other member of the
new firm, was younger in years and
experience, but had himself been
studying the business for eight years,
part Of the time with a wholesale
house. His inside knowledge on how
10 buy and where to buy therefore
balanced the firm as "a whole.
Darnau * Jones rented modest
quarters at 921 New York avenue.
Their entire floor space was something
like four hundred square feet. The
working force consisted, in those hum
BILE days, Of "a man and a boy. Com
parison shows what application to
business and the right kind of dealing
has accomplished.

Tads and Fashions

In some of the new shirt waists back
yokes are introduced, and will no doubt
increase in usage as the season S styles
become more firmly established.
Extreme French fashion plates show
the ultra stylish woman with chips,
with her coat long and straight, and her
skirt hanging straight from the waist.
In the latest millinery wide-brimmed
Gainsborough and Rembrandt effects
are seen and fancy feathers will be very
popular trimming.
Frills are much used for trimming
guimpes and sleeves, the latter having
frills at the elbow, the lower part of
the sleeves being fiat or only slightly
gathered.
Juvenile frocks and smart little jump
ers for cool days, made of bordered chal-
lie, with the border used as trimming,
are popular and practical, for the ma
terial launders beautifully.
Valencia lace stocks in the Gibson
style are finished about the bottom with
pleatings of two or three inches in
width, arranged to spread out about the
base of the collar line.
Early autumn offerings include many
bordered effects in beautiful designs
and colorings in wool and cotton wolfe,
foulard, crepe weaves, pongees, India
silk, lawn, null, batiste, net, etc.
Almost suddenly, pins have been ban
ished from hats--that is, the kind that
are at all conspicuous. Very recently
hats bristled with large headed pins.
Now fashion says there must be no pins
in sight.
For the little folks all white stock
ings and socks are waning in popular
ity, and for dressy occasions, especially,
slippers, stockings, sash, and hair rib
bon will all match, in some dainty color
Distinctly new effects are featured
among the new collar importations The
directoire stock is fashioned of pleat-
ings of muslin, finished with pleated
band and rosette, and may be had in all
the light eolors.

The satin and velvet buttons are also
embroidered in various simple designs
Heavy floss in triple strands is used
for simple designs, such as the crow s
toes and swastika.
Gold and silver bullion is extensively
employed on satin buttons for the hand
some long coats.
The very latest fashion in this fancy
work is the monogram or one initial
worked in self toned floss or bullion.
Buttons that are entirely beaded in
quaint eolors are effective, particularly
for velvet. and are difficult to do.

Among the seasonable things, there
are some new white flannels that every
woman will like. They show hair-lines
of black, brown, or blue; fawn color,
with Roman stripes; combinations of
pale blue and turquoise; Chinese pink
and wood brown, and the iris shades of
lavender.
There is new hip-length coat, semi
fitted by seams to the shoulder in front
and back, that is excellent for covert
cloth or for serge and Panama, in plain
colors, worn with plaid or checks skirt,
in which the color of the coat predomin-
ates; green with black is very smart.
Such fabrics as crepe de chine, crepe
royal or any soft clinging crepe or
satin, will undoubtedly prove the best
adapted to the clinging and. draped
styles, while the softer cloths and light
weight fabrics, such as yelling and cash
mere, are very good for dressy gowns.

The Goodwill habit

A habit of holding kindly attitude
of mind toward everybody has power
full influence upon the character, says
Home Chats. 1t lifts the mind above
petty jealousies and meannesses; it en-
circles and enlarges the whole life.
Where we meet people, not matter If
they are strangers, we feel certain
kinship with and friendliness for them,
if we have formed the goodwill habit.
In other words, the kindly habit, the
goodwill habit, makes us feel more
sympathy for everybody. And if we
radiate this helpful, friendly feeling
Others will reflect it back to us.
On the other hand, if we go through
life with cold, selfish mental attitude,
caring only for our own, always look
ing for the main chance, only thinking
of what will further our own interest,
our own comfort; totally Indifferent to
others, this attitude will, after a while,
harden the feeling and the affections,
and we shall become dry, pessimistic
and uninteresting.

1t Is still early to make definite pre-.
dictions about any part of the wardrobe
for tho coming months, but unless all
signs fail the separate coat will be one
of the salient features. With this the
ease, it takes no long hoad to see that
the velvet coat will be reinstated in a
place worthy of its name and fame. No
separate cold weather coat is half as
effective with cloth gowns as the velvet
one, unless it be handsome fur gar
ment, and this is not desirable in this
climate, except in very brief part of
the winter. The new velvets already
show tendency toward fruit shades,
and one of the most charming shades
seen is the plum with bloom, which
the manufacturer has cleverly copied.
Some Imagination may be wanted to see
the fruit bloom in the silken weave, but
the soft red purple shade is near
enough like the rich color of the fruit
to be noticeable.

Tha Band

Straight bands are passe.
Shaped ones have taken their place.
Broken bands are much used on new
skirts.
These are applied in all kinds of
whimsical ways.
For instance, on one silk skirt bands
of the same silk were applied slantingly
at regular intervals.
In another skirt bias bands were
made to form big motives of the Gre
elan key pattern.
VS. or chevrons are also one of the
favorite designs for the APPLICATION of
these trimming bands.

yelyeteen for Children

There is quite a quaint little coat suit
appearing for young girls who have
never been allowed to wear coat and
skirt with a blouse.
This might be better described as a
little blouse suit, with coat of the
same material, as a separate waist is
not allowable ON any youngster.
Velveteen is the material. 1t is in
black, Nelson blue, duh green and rasp-
berry red. In the latter it is particu-
larly attractive, but the fair, golden.
haired child looks quite distinctive in
one of the black suits.

alleged sister and Doktor Laszlo, their
officers and agents such. at New

Those willing TO take the chance were
informed because the girl poor and
honest il would be necessary to send her
money for railroad ticket and other eX-
penses To enable her to get To the eX-
pectant bridegroom. If they sent the
money il was appropriated and various
excuses were sent back for the non-ar r
rival of the expected bride.

thought intended to deceive and defraud

readily fall into the trap.

Study Of Criminals in Russia.

a laboratory for the study of criminals
has recently been established in Russia.
with a somewhat similar relation to the
Russian government as that of the
Smithsonian Institution to the United
States government. II is understood that
about $4,000 has been set aside by Rus
STA for the purpose. The scheme includes
investigation by use of instruments of
precision and the obtaining of all i'm
portant facts regarding the individual and
his surroundings.
