THE CALISHER OPENING,
GOldenrOd and Glorious Fall Millinery
Delighted All El PasO Yesterday
Afternoon and Evening

Glowing lights and goldenrod fur
nfshed the setting for the fall millinery
opening of the ]. Calisher Drygoods
company Thursday evening al the tenn
porary quarters of the Calisher com
pany on Stanton street. The litter of
the carpenter crew which has been re-
modelling the Welch building for the big
Calisner store was obiiterated by the
banks of fluffy lowered goldenrod
which lined the aisle from the main en-
trance to the second floor where the
millinery opening was being held
There. on pedestals and artistically
arranged display racks were the crea-
tions of Miss Fashion for the fall sea-
son of 1910. Pier glasses and dressing
tables were half concealed by draperies
in different parts of the big room where
the millinery show was being held and
and all evening the patrons of the Cal
Usher store reveled in the beauty of the
autumn styles. TactfuI Saleswomen
glided from place to place, showing the
hats and suggesting styles which would
be most becoming. The millinery dis
play was in charge OF assistant man.
ager Fillmore of the J. CaIisher company,
and Miss Fash. of New York. who is to
be in charge Of the millinery department
of the big department store during the
fall and winter season Handsomely
gowned, Miss Fash seemed to be every
where at the same time. suggesting and
explaining the latest of her New York
ideas to tee FL PasO women
Gorgeous, broad brimmed, black
evening hats with no more trimming
than a cluster of autumn leaves under
the brim, white befvers trimmed with
delicately tinted plumes in two colors,
fetching opera hats in black and white
contrasts with the quaint lace opera
cap attached. These were some of the
offerings at the fall fashion show. The
extreme willow plume of the spring and
summer season was noticeable by its
absence. In it's place are the smaller
plUmes, birds of paradise and the deli
cately colored rose clusters in the
Persian shades of pink and white ex-
quisitely blended.
Although exclusive in pattern and
style the Calisher hats were so moder-
ate in price that the fact created almost
as much comment during the opening a s
did the splendid style shown. During
the evening a Mexican orchestra played
soft Spanish music from behind
bower of goldenrOd, and puncn was
served by daintily dressed attendants.
As a criterion of the fall millinery
styles the Calisher opening was a COM
plete success.

A CURIOUS QUARREL.

killed his wife the other day.
John Smith is in prison now

killed his wife the other day.
j John Smith is in prison now.
and his 12yearOld son is in prison, too.
He is held for a witness.
John Smith killed his wife because
she said she had a right to whip the
12yearold boy. and he said he had a
right to do the whipping himself. They
couldn't agree. and rather than give
up his fatherly privileges of beating
his own flesh and blood John Smith
got a gun and killed his wife
Rather an extreme penalty to pay
for the privilege of whipping your
child isn't it?
Now. if Mrs. John Smith had been
determined TO whip the 12yearold boy,
and John Smith had been deter
mined that he was one of those curl
Gus persons who do not believe in beat
ing little defenceIess children into a
semblance of frightened obedience. one
might perhaps understand the Smith
family affair AS it is, the world is
full of puzzle, isn't it?
Now, if Mr.. and Mrs. Smith had only
quarreled over which could be the
kindest to their own little boy I Won
der what the little boy would have
thought of that?
1 wish I had million dollars I'd
go down to Parkersburg w. Va. to-
day, and I'd go to prison and find that
12yearold boy, and I would put my
hand on his shoulder and say, John
Smith, jr. you've got a friend, a real
friend. I'm not your mother, but
love you and believe in you There's
the making of man somewhere in
that scared little soul of yours-come,
let's find it together, you and l.
I dent believe I'd have to shoot
anybody to decide what kind of a
whipping that boy deserved as long as
he lived.

FANTASIA DEL CONCERTO.
BY Randolph Lloyd.


Prelude:
Mary had a little lamb
! 1t bleated-so did She
And so did every other kid
Round Cleveland Carnegie
| 1 went down to the plaza
To hear one William tell
But what he told 1 can not tell,
Because-Oh. well, well, well.
The little dogs did bark
! The darling, dearie, precious, sweetie,
! LOWE. dickums. doggies, barked-
| They barked.
/ And someone said the Danube
For some strange reason blew
But what it blew or why it blew,
l never, never. never knew--did you?
Because a woman near me tried
To tell the world that cabbage fried,
Her chef d'oeuvre and her pride
Was what she dined on-Hope she
died.
Ahemi-and fried
Postlude:
If l were but cannibali
Or even a polar bear,
I'd stop that gabblefest or wear
My teeth off down to my toes!
I-er-declarei
Visions of Paradise.
Vox populi, yOx pOpuli,
l wish you wouldn't vox;
1 think the city council should
Benignly grant padlocks,
And, then, when concert time came
round,
We could enjoy the nox.

Joy! Oh Joy! Beefsteak
Drops Several Cents

The most notable change in the price
list of foods for man this week is a
reduction in the price of steaks. Loin
steaks. which have been selling all the
summer for 20 cents per pound, can now
be had for l. IL cents and choice t
bone steaks, which formerly sold at %
cents retail, are now selling at 20
cents. That is for beefsteaks. With
pork ii is different, a rising tendency
being evident. Chops have retailed dur
ing the summer at Is to 20 cents. The
minimum price is now 20 and the choice
chops are % cents. Butchers pay Il 1-2
cents for their chop pieces, so their
profit is not large Pork steak is sell
ing for 20 cents. which is about the
same as has been charged all tne sum
mer. These reductions are probably the
fOrerunner of still further reductions
They seem small in the abstract, but in
a large family the reductions will effect
a considerable saving.
Vegetables remain about the same
last week, with a few eliminations. In
the fruit line, ounces, the best of all
preserving, fruits, and Concord grapes
have made their appearance. Valley
peaches and the Mesilla valley product,
have gone out for the season, but Cali
