 They are cut on good-ft- ting models. They are fin ished with much care. They are prettily trimmed in con- trasting color, sometimes. And when a little girl slips into one, you can see that in describable something that a tailored coat always has.
 In all liked colors includ- ing pongee:- for girls of 2 to 6, $2 to $10; for girls of 6 to 14, $5 to $6.75.

DICK BARRETT WINS FROM NORMAN TRAPP
 BAY STATE "CHAMP."

Dick Barrett of the Park City team defeated Norman Trapp, champion of Massachusetts last night in a two mile race at the Homestead rink in West Haven by laps and a half. The big skater could not take the corner like the red headed Bridgeport boy, and it takes Bridgeport boy every time to bring home the goods. Dick brought home the championship of Massachu- setts which was done very easy, and a crowd of 800 people yelled for Dick when he lapped Trapp or trapped Lapp in the 9th lap of the first mile and in the second mile he Tapped him again.
 Dick took it pretty easy until the last four laps, when he let out, gain ing half a: lap, making it 2 laps and half to the good. Dick is right there with the speed and his partner, Ward Hayes. challenged Norman Trapp for one mile race at West Haven or Bridgeport, but the big fellow did not accept it. The time for the first mile was 3 minutes and seconds. and the time for the second mile was minutes and 6 seconds. It took IF laps to mile and it was done in very good time as the rink was very small, taking a good many laps for mile.

eeors. Eliot and .Ronol...

George Eliot's first arrangement with the publisher of "Romola" was for no less a sum than 10000 guineas. "As that is so very large fgure,'' he said, 'I must run it through fifteen numbers of the Cornhill." 'No," she answered.; l; '.it must finish in twelve numbers or the artistic effect of the story will be lost. I quite understand the necessity for it's prolongation from commercial point of view, so we'll say 1000 guineas instead of the 10000" And 900 guineas was accordingly paid for the copyright. Three thousand guineas seem a large sum to give up for an artistic scruple, but she did it

Had For Creditors

In the faraway, benighted commu- nifty of Damen, in Africa, the old fash toned method of throwing a debtor into prison, where he is safe from the tormenting visits of his creditors, is not followed. Instead, he is practical ly turned over to the mercy of the creditors in a literal sense. A heavy tree log is attached to his bare leg, and this he is obliged to drag after him wherever he goes. There is no escaping the creditors now, and the log remains bound to his ankle until his debts are paid.
