The lapels roll softly to the second
button.
Something rather new, noticed the
other day, was an overcoat for even
ing wear, combining the style of
single breasted Chesterfield. with long
soft lapels and the old-fashioned IN
verness Cape The front is that Of
the Chesterfield overcoat-possibly q
little bit looser-while the back, fitted
with the cape, reminds one of the
Inverness. It IS rather smart look
ing, and one can get into it very easily
without danger of disarranging his
tie or the set Of his waistcoat- The
lapels, faced with silk, are similar to
those Of an evening coat, only much
larger. This coats advantage over
the old Inverness is that it is very
much warmer. 1t is simply an innova-
ton and it Is doubtful whether it will
command any amount Of public favor.
The style changes in dress clothes
are so slight as to make chronicling
difficult of lucidity. The best models
are practically the same as those of
last season

adjusted TO button close to the neck,
giving the military style. The regular
set lay-down collar, however, is still
the vogue on the finer garments, not
withstanding that the convertible col
lar adds much to the serYiceability of
the garment
The three-quarter length Chester
field is still the popular garment with
the ulsterette and raglan shaped
coats following closely in favor. The
frock Oyercoat seems to grow more
fashionable as it grows more popular,
and this in spite Of the fact that It is
not an easy overcoat to don when one
is wearing evening clothes. The man
who is wise and can afford it usually
has two Of these overcoats Of differ
ent weights-a rather light one for
day wear with a cutaway or .frock
coat, and a much heavier one for
evening wear. Both are of rough ma
terial, with velvet collar and three
buttons. There is usually rather
wide peaked lapel, and the smartest
men always wear these coats with
only two of the three buttons in use

The younger American element have
for some time past been making
strong effort to throw of the yoke OF
English suggestion in their fashions
and with no small degree of accom-
plishment This will be especially
noticeable this season IS the English
| fashions will lose much caste in this
/ country since King Edward, the recog
nized dean of the fashion world, has
found no accepted successor. There
fore, while the more conservative men
will adopt the Kings Mourning" eff
fects, the younger element and their
adherents are coming ont strong for
browns in novelty patterns. The plaid
effects are said to be the best, while
some have the stripes in addition.
Nothing is shown in the solid shades
Of brown. Everything shown for fall
is in the soft finish effect, cassimeres
and soft finished serges being most
prominent, both in imported and do
nestle materials. Besides the grays
and browns, blues will be very popu-
lar.
Chanticleer novelties will be
feature of the season. The idea is
used in the material rather than in the
style of the garment The fabrics are
soft finished ones, with small red Or
brown pin dots sprinkled throughout.

The effect is q reddish or brownish
hue, very rich in appearance.
The fall models in suits and over
coats show practically no changes.
The cutaway frock coat is the most
notable among the new fall garments.
Some of the garments have silk braid
edges and cuffs, and on the outside
seam of the trousers as we'll. This
style Of coat can be appropriately ac-
companied by gray striped trousers
and fancy waistcoat. For semi-formal
wear, as well as for business, it gives
promise of considerable popularity for
the fall season The favored fabric
for the cutaway frock coat is the soft
finished worsted. The suit styles are
gradually getting away from the ex-
IRENE broad shoulders, and this season
decidedly favors the English natural
shoulder effect-a narrow shoulder
The coat is also cut closer fitting
around the waist, defining the dip eff
feet. These coats, however, are cut
full in the chest. The coats are also
shorter than has been seen in many
seasons; however, the extreme short
coat has not yet arrived. The sack
coat is still the popular garment. The
peg-top and semi-peg-top trousers,
which originated with the college
youth and were taken up later by the

such popularity the past summer are
being transformed, into more somber
tones, the black and white predominant
ing.
1t is quite pronounced in the ad-
vance Fall showings that there is a
strong leaning toward gray, both in
solid colors and in mixtures. These
materials are Of the class known in
the trade as Bannockburn "a sort Of
a tweed from a town Of that name
near Glasgow, Scotland) and pin
checks, both of these effects being
popular in England as Kings Mourn
ing" A predominance Of black and
white and somber gray also reflects
this tendency

Winter. Reports from England indi-
cate a strong vogue in London for
dark materials, especially in pin check
effects. AS high class American tail
ors not only construct their garments
along the lines depicted by the Lon
don fashion plates, but import practi-
cally all their fabrics from England,
1t Is highly probable that American
cloth mills and clothing manufacturers
will follow this tendency. Pin checks

CONSOLIDATION OF NEWSPAPERS


The present year, like its immediate
predecessor, promises to be marked in
the newspaper world by the consolida-
ton of papers and the disappearance,
in some places, of newspapers alto
gether. Following the course of ex-
changes one is struck with the fact
that every now and then small town
that has had a struggling weekly sud-
denly discovers itself without one.
The fact is patent that there is not a
living to be had and so it disappears
leaving no aching void that of neces-
sity must be filled. In larger cities
consultations continue to be in order
not only in this section of the South
but generally.
Down in Louisiana the other day
such a consolidation took place in the
union of the two dailies of Lake
Charles, a town approaching 10000
population, mainly white. Referring
to this the New Orleans States had
this to say:
There are few better country news
papers anywhere than the two daily
papers printed at Lake Charles-the
American and the Press. Both OF
them have been better than a city OF
the size Lake Charles is entitled to
and we are convinced that for some
years the success which they have at
tanned has cost much by way of sacri-
fee to the worthy and able gentlemen
who have conducted them.
The States is glad to believe that
this consolidation will give to Lake
Charles a better newspaper than it has
ever had before, while it will enable
its conductors to reap profits from
their work instead of continued sacri-
fee and loss. In this connection ii
might not be out of place to COM
commend the sensible course of the
owners of these two Lake Charles
newspapers to others who are strug-
Cling along. In several towns last
year such newspaper consultations
were made with much advantage both
to the owners thereof and to the pat
rons who thereby receive better values
for their money. Our observation.
gathered from more than twenty years
experience in city and country journal
ism is, that the worst enemies of the
country newspapers are the newspa-
pers themselves The business end OF
a newspaper ought to be conducted ac-
cording to business methods strictly
and the successful conduct of the ed
itorial end of it requires brains. in
finite courage, federation and tact.
Unless the expenses of producing a
newspaper are considerably diminish
ed in the near future similar steps of
self preservation will have to be taken
in other towns where two papers are
published. Some newspapers have
considerably advanced advertising
rates of late, and in a few instances
there have been efforts to go back to
the old $3.50 subscription rate for
weeklies. It is difficult, undoubtedly,
to accomplish these financial reforms,
necessary though they may be. Merch-
ants realize that they are paying more
for their goods and labor and that the
newspapers must of necessity be doing
likewise, but the mere suggestion of a
raise in advertising rates generally
proyokes a strong protest.

CALOMEL REMEDY

Wilmington, Del, Aug. 1S.-That
physic. such as calonlel, is good for
trees as we'll as men is the statement
of William Morrison, a veracious rafN-
way agent at Lincoln, Del.
Morrison is the owner of big plum
tree. which began bearing about TWEEN
ty years ago. OF late years, however,
it had become old and senile, ana
produced only dozen or two plums
a year. Morrison, who considers Gallo
mel cure for all ills decided to try
his favorite prescription on the tree,
with highly fiattering results.
AS it is well known that tree has
no mouth Morrison was forced to re-
sort to hypodermic injection. He
bored hole in the tree, poured in a
tablespoon of the dope and sealed
up the hole.
This year, as a result the tree was
fairly loaded with fruit Hundreds OF
quarts of delicious plums ripened on
! its groaning boughs. Moreover, the
plums are said to have decided
medicinal quality.
