suit represents the proper caper for
street wear, and in its most killing
phases it looks as if 1t might be made
out Of three yards Of stuff. A trim,
dinlIy sort of little jacket, with coat
sleeves fitting all but to the skin and
a single breasted front, is completed
with a skirt without gather and with
only two seams-these at the sides.
Mannish materials, too, are being used
for it, and for all the apparent sim
plicity Of such suits they require the
touch Of accomplished tailoring.
Many dressy little frocks are in one
piece models, or they may be in two
sections, with the upper part Of the
skirt Stimulating with yoke or trim
ming, some basque finish for the
bodice. When the waist and skirt join
perfectly it is impossible to see at
first glance that these frocks are not
in one Then there is the straight
overskirt still with us, and just now
it is the merest cap, hugging the hips

fiutters and waves gracefully with

But these are the pet extremes of
the hour, and for those who want the
sensible thing pray let me introduce
a few pictures which show styles as
pretty as they are reasonable.
Though designed for misses, the mod
els are appropriate for small women
and the styles are all quite simple
enough for home dressmaking.

UNDERWEAR is MADE NARROW

Change In Cut of Under
garments.

The narrow skirts now in demand
necessitate further narrowing of un.
derwear to conform to the new linen.
Drawers, of course, come under this
heading, and various ingenious meth
DDS have been devised to narrow
them.
They are made, for instance, on a
yoke top, with wide, lace trimmed leg.
Again, they open on the side, being
edged with wide lace and fastened at
the side Of the leg with ribbons or
buttons. And some are made with
knickerbocker band that fastens be-
low the knee and is finished with a
rufle. or are fitted with tucked tops.

Novel TunIc Effect.

A pretty idea for the finishing of
a tunic, especially one of yelling or
other soft material, is to slash the
tunic in front, like an overskirt, and
knot it loosely at each side, drawing
it away so as to show a great part
of the underskirt up to the knees,
The knots are made about half way
from the ankles and the tunic falls
loosely below them. Of course, it is
caught with few stitches in back,
to keep it in position.

U. C.'T. MEETING TO
Be Held TONIGHT
BIG PLANS HAVE BEEN FORMED
FOR THE MEETING OF FARGO
COUNCIL NO. S. OF UNITED
COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS TO
BE HELD THIS EVENING.

Everything is in readiness for the
big December meeting of Fargo Coun-
ell No. SIS of United Commercial
Travellers which will be held this eve
ming at the A. O. u. w. hall.
Neil Wassem and r. A. Conover win
have charge of the programme and a
great time is anticipated.
The social part of the evening pro-
gramme has nat been announced and
the two members of the committee
are very reticent about giving out the
doings for the evening. In fact it is
almost an open secret that the pro-
gramme is a secret. Strange but new
ertheless true. At any rate the COM
mittee has been unwilling to give out
anything regarding the line of social
events that will be pulled off during
the evening.
There will be gathering Of the
members promptly at o'clock and
for two hours the council workers
will initiate a large class of candi
dates and dispose of the business that
shall be up for consideration. BY
$3.50 it is expected that all the ladies
and friends of the u. e. T. will have
gathered and then the real fun will
commence.
A number Of the boys have arranged
to be in town over Sunday so that
they will have the opportunity of
attending the meeting, and a big time
is looked for this evening. 1t is ru-
mored that there will be turkey
dinner-some rumors often come true
and are realized.

success. / believe the square deal is
the only method that will produce
genuine success, and when the square
deal is combined with well developed
ability placed in full action, success is
bound to follow.
The principle of the square deal is
not only to be honest and reliable in
a general sense, but to be so in the abb
solute sense; that is, to aim to give an
exact equivalent in every transaction
and to give the highest possible worth
to everything we produce and offer for
sale. To simply be honest in the ordi-
nary sense of the term is not enough.

Merchants who feel no pleasure in
their business should learn what they
would rather do and go about it. Toe
much is heard from the man who
thinks the occupation he pursues is
the last one on earth. His every ac-
tion becomes distasteful to those who
enter his store. Goods seldom sell
themselves. There must be a salesman
behind the counter, and in order to be-
come one, a merchant must enjoy his
business and enjoy talking about the
goods he has for sale. They have to
be properly presented, and the person
atty of the salesman counts for much
Too frequently merchants complain
Everything seems to go wrong with
them and their tempers, and attitudes

you must enjoy it, You must realize
that your business is the source of all
your pleasure and you will soon make
q pleasure out of your business.

A new DEAL ON
BAGGAGE SYSTEM
STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY
THE TRANscoNTtNENTAL PAS.
sENGER ASSOCIATION TO Sc.
CURE SOME REGULATION IN
THE BAGGAGE SYSTEM.

II the initial steps of the Transcon-
tinental Passenger association are fol-
lowed by other like organizations and
general agreement can be reached.
there win be put into effect at the
close Of the present year new rules
and regulations governing the carry
ing and checking of baggage. A gem
eral conference of the allied interests
Is to be held at some central point in
the near future and the matter of a
uniform schedule, or classification, will
be threshed out.
This conference Is being arranged
in response to popular sentiment aris-
ing out of the appeal of commercial
travellers, through their organizations
and the firms they represent, for a
new deal in the matter of baggage
classification and excess rates. In
many of the state legislatures bills
have been presented to compel rail-
roads to carry sample cases at a GER
tain maximum value but were either
killed by corporation lobbyists or al
lowed to be clothed in a different COL
ored garb by them. The present
maximum value of baggage generally
allowed to be checked free is 800, and
the plan is to raise the limit to 5000
or $500. In view OF the large amount
of personal effects and samples neces-
sarily carried By every travelling sales.
man who must spend weeks and Oft
en- months on the road, this change
would result in a considerable saving
in the course of a year.
The present situation has grown out
of the common practice among sta
ton agents Of checking almost any
kind of trunks or cases as personal
baggage. If afterwards any of this
baggage is lost and the loser makes
claim for the amount of his person
nal baggage" a demurrer is filed nv
the company on the ground that a
misrepresentation had been made as
to character of baggage, whereas the
fault was with the company's agent
in not ascertaining for himself the
of the property and
it in accordance with es-
tablished regulations.
Now that a law has been passed BY
in spite of the most diligent
on the part of the rail-
road lobby, requiring the establish
ment of regulations for the checking
of baggage, it is deemed wise by cor
poration attorneys that carriers
should themselves adopt a special
rather than take the
chances of having to adopt one that
may be prepared for them by the in
terstate commerce commission.
