Not kimonos.

Giddy as those most intimate gar.
ments designed to electrify the privacy
of woman's own boudoir are the new
evening coats. They look exactly like
kimonos. A whole menagerie of gold
dragons and purple lizards and green
snakes crawl up the back and down
the sleeves of these oriental wraps,
which are made of silks and satins, in
loose Chinese cuts, in black, buff, or
ange green, blue or white. A theater-
going crowd so arrayed will bear the
aspect OF fancy dress ball.

Half-Cenqth Coats,

For the severe tailor-made suits the
style for this fan which will be most
frequently seen is halflength coat,
cut away sharply in front, and some
times edged with wide silk or mo-
hair braid to match the cloth. The
sleeves are full length. and a smart
touch of color is seen at the collar,
cuffs and buttons. The skirt will be
short length and plated, though the
plain circular model also promises to
be- in vogue.

The China Wedding.

After 20 years of married life the
china wedding may be celebrated.
About this time the average house
wife welcomes any addition to her
china closet, so there is no question
about appropriate gifts for the oc-
casion.
There is really not much decoration
to be done except to eschew cut glass
and silver as much as possible, using
china in it's place.
Doll cups or plates may be used for
almond and bon-bon holders and, If
the purse permits, small cup and
saucer or china spoon, such as may be
found at the Japanese stores. may be
given as souvenirs. The names of the
guests can be written on little china
plates to use as place cards IL the af-
fair is dinner or a luncheon.

COLLEGE BOYS PLAY
THEIR FIRST GAME
Well Contested Match, Scoring
Two TouchdoWns.

The students of Augustana college
had their first football game of the
year this morning when the academy
team played the college team and lost
by score of 10 to Q. 1t was a closely
contested game and the outcome was
always in doubt, although the college
team managed to score a touchdown
III each half. The college players
ou,weighed the academy players some
what and had considerable advantage
over them in experience. Both teams
put up strong defensive game, but
We're not so strong on the offensive
On account of their lack of practice
together. A little more ability to adj
vance the ball would have scored a
touchdown for the academy in the
second half when an onside kick sue
cessfully pulled off placed them with
in five yards of the college goal, but
they were unable to carry it over the
line and the score ended 10 to 0. An
other game has been arranged for
next Saturday and the academy hopes
to get even with their older opponents.

dependents-Champs Play kewa-
nee Regulars Tomorrow.

The West Ends of Davenport are
the only football players who question
the right of the Independents of this
city to the championship of the three
cities, and it. is possible that if the
Davenporters are as good as they claim
to be. a game will be arranged. The
West Ends will go to Muscatine to-
morrow to play with the team from
that city, and the score, they make
there will probably determine whether
they are worthy opponents of lne IN
dependents. The locals, with practic-
ally a scrub team and no organization,
trimmed Muscatine and at present
they could undoubtedly run up a large
score on them. If Davenport wants a
chance at the champions of the three
cities they will have to show their
mettle by decisively defeating Musca-
tine.
The Independents have big job on
their hands for tomorrow when they
meet the Kewanee Regulars. With
their regular lineup the boys feel sure
they could win the game, but they will
have to play with a new backfield, as
Atkinson has left the city and Woods
and Mack will probably be unable to
play. Their places will be we'll filled
however, and the game will be a fast
one.

A story is told of how the reluctant
giving of promissory note by penni-
less New York lawyer brought for
tune into his pocket amounting to sew

John NJ. Bixby, went to New York in
1880 from a backwoods district as a
half starved lawyer. To pay 81 week
for board and washing kept him on the
verge of bankruptcy. He struggled on
for year or two and was constantly
seeking odd jobs outside Of the law to

lawyer in whose Office he had desk
