6EASON'S FASHION DEMANDS
THE MOST LUXURIOUS.
Increased Popularity o: Motoring Calls
Forth Fur Coats of Entirely New
Type-Proves Parisiennes
Leaders of Fashion.

E, Nothing is too luxurious in furs!
This season fashion simply demands
the hest.
Jukt another instance that proves
that Parisiennes are leaders of fash
ion. Last summer fair Frenchwomen
were stoles of ermine with lingerie
tfrGcks-regardless of heat or cold.
Now, that winter Is here, heavy fur
garments are their whim.
~Ae increased popularity of motor
ing has called forth fur coats of an
entirely new type. These garments
are fashioned on the lines Of smart
mannish toScoats and, Of course,
unique furs were necessary to make
the vogue a SUCCESSES every one al
ways wants something different.
lLeopard skin, antelope and baby deer
ARE quite the most popular, although
pony skin and raccoon are also note
worthy
Fur-lined coats for motoring, as of
'4g1e, are favored by conservative
women. These luxurious topcoats are
mostly of heavy broadcloth, lined with
squirrel and with large shawl collar
'of skunk or Persian lamb.
Caracal coats of generous length
are most BETTING for shopping and
sally events. Broadtail and Persian
lamb are also included in the same
category.
Evening coats-also worn for for
NAL afternoon affairs-are simply
superb.
Full length coats of Russian sable
or ermine are the most queenly. One
exquisite coat recently seen was of
snowy ermine with broad band Of
skunk around the bottom, which
curved gracefully at each side of the
front. Sable and ermine are fire.
quently combined, while white fox
and sealskin is another joyous har-
mony
Muffs are simply enormous and alb
solutely fiat. Indeed, some are SO
large and fiimsy that they are almost
burdensome. Quite the most extreme
styles have wide centers of Persian
silk, or velvet, with wide bands Of
fur. The large stoles to match are
fashioned likewise, only SO wide that
they are more like shawls than mere
neckpieces. These particular modes
were created by Madame Agnes-and
Parisiennes have thoroughly approved
them.
Women of moderate tastes are quite

Outing Hats Large.

Many of the felt outing hats are
large, with rolling brims. This line
is becoming to the majority of wom-
en-. The scarf, with its ends dropping
over the side, softens any line that
may be too hard. You can depend
upon a milliner to do all in his power
to make an outing hat becoming, for
the cost is comparatively reasonable.
and therefore the popularity assured.

that has been used for the upper part,
with simple design worked upon it.,
and bound at the edges with narrow
ribbon to match embroidery.
Cloth leaves, on which the pens
may be cleaned, are tackled inside,
and any small odd remnants of cloth
will serve for the purpose, but they
should be of a dark color for prefer
ence.
The combination of pen-wiper and
pen-holder is always a useful one,
as it enables the pen to be cleaned
after it has been used, prior to being
slipped into the holder, thing which
is apt to be forgotten With separate
pen-wiper.

Too often the purpose is simply to

any other consideration is the fire

but there Is nothing especially at
tractive about brick. A plain or
or reinforced concrete house is much
stronger in every way than brick

fore, to make the concrete wall as
thick as a brick wall would be in
order to get the proper factor
of safety. The four-inch walls are ad-
vised for house construction of con-
crete. The two walls should be tied
with metal ties in concrete webs.
This gives a wall of full strength,
saves materials, gives an absolutely

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The change in the course of prices in
the general market today, SO that some
recovery was made from the low levels
of recent days, did not have much in
iuence in the local market, as reflected
by the trading at the meeting of the ex-
change.
The demand for securities was limited,
but there was no indication of any pres
sure to sell, SO that the call proceeded
with but minor changes in the quotations.
The low level reached in the bid for the
bonds of the gas company was changed
somewhat in the case of the gas fourS,
when the bid rose to 1919 as compared
with 1U2, which were the figures yester-
day. The asking price of 100 was the
same and after call a couple of bonds sold
for 1O7
A further recession was made in the bid
for the gas skies, today the figures
were 1o1, as compared with 1O2 yesterday.
The asking price today was 1O412, while
yesterday 1t was 1O5.
and very little time was spent On it dur
ing the call. The bid today was half a
point less than that of yesterday, when
it was -. The asking price, however, fell
from "A to 72a4
The leading trader again today was
Mergenthaler stock, and ninety shares
were sold on q range Of from PA to 2l4A,
showing a fractional decline from the
level of yesterdays selling.

Literary Man in Politics.

From the New York World.
Maurice Hewlett's entrance of the Brit
sh political campaign with a two-column
manifesto to workingmen is interesting
as an illustration of the closer relation
ship of literature to politics in England
than exists here. To provide parallel
it would be necessary to have w. ID.
Howells or Mark Twain make stump
speech to voters on the questions of the
day. Jerome X. Jerome also has been
engaged in giving straight talks to
workerse of Britain on the rule of the
rich
With us novelists become occasional
candidates for governor or run for Con-
gress, and they are sometimes elected
mayors. But, generally speaking, politics
in the United States is divorced from
literature as it is from other professions,
except law and to a minor extent jour
nalism. With us men of literary attain
ments have acquired a peculiar eligibility
for ambassadorshipS. But except for
Bancroft, Edward Everett and John Hay,
We have hardly in half century had a
distinctively literary man in the cabinet,
and at no time such representation of
authors in the government as that which
in England included Morley Asquith,
Bryce and Augustine Birrell in recent
cabinets.

The market opened steady at an ad-

prevented at first by overnight selling or

ton had been absorbed, however, the
market frmed up on bull support and
southern buying, with prices during the
middle of the morning ruling about IL to
70 points net higher, or around 14.94 for
May. Business was quite active, and
buyers were encouraged by larger spot
sales in Liverpool and a rather more
general southern demand for contracts,
which was supposed to reflect interior
spot conditions, and early new crop pros
poets.
The market was very firm during the
middle of the morning on reports of a

bullish spot advices from the south,

British and the Hindu.

Sydney Brooks. in North American Review.
The facts are that the natives Of India
carry on the bulk of the administrative
work of the peninsula, that native Off
Gals vastly outnumber British officials,
that leading natives sit on all the legisla-
tive councils and are consulted as mat
ter Of course before any measure is
drafted, and that Lord Morley has not
only admitted them to the highest execu-
tive tribunal in the country, has not only
vested them with powers for determining
how the revenues are to be raised and
disposed of, but has placed vast spheres
of policy and legislation under their al
most unfettered control. 1t seems, in
deed impossible for the authors of the
manifesto to touch on a single feature Of
British rule in India without committing
some absurd blunder of which any well
informed boy of fifteen would be
ashamed. They appear entirely unaware
Of the elementary facts that the British,
and the British alone, voice, however i'm
perfectly, the sentiments, and guard. how
ever inadequately, the interests of the
dumb, toiling masses; that they and they
alone rise calmly above the distracting
animOsities and clashing rivalries of race,
creed and caste, and work and govern
solely for the common good; that they
alone, to the best Of their abilities, rep
resent justice, liberty and equal treat
ment for all. and protect at once the
Hindu from the Mohammedan, and the
Mohammedan from the Hindu, and the
peasant from the landlord.

Dreadnought Fever.
he New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post
Battleship mania (febris dreadnought-
ensis). where it exists at all, is a disease
that affects the masses. There Is more
calculation than mania and more politics
than fever In the dreadnought craze that
attacks parliamentary leaders and jingo
newspaper editors. Where the noise about
battleships Is not due to self-interest 1t
is most often due to downright Stiffness.
Such Is the statement that Austria Hun
gary Is to have sixteen dreadnoughts by
1913 Germany. Incompatible. Irresistible,
iinhexible Germany, which has been striv-
ing might and main, SO We have paen
told, to build dreadnoughts, has none at
present and will have at most thirteen
by four years from now. This after years
Of effort Austria in the next three years
lis to turn out q little matter of sixteen
dreadnoughts just as easily as saying it,.
Presumably the sixteen dreadnoughts are
to be equipped with four batteries each
LOT Austrian members of parliament, firing
IL ,O0O inkwells and 1000 picturesque cpl
thets every minute. Austria's sixteen
battleships would be merely ridiculous il
not for the fact that a statement like
that is Immediately caught up by the war
lmongers across the Adriatic, who, of
course, point out that Italy must nave
|twenty-four dreadnoughts, which in turn
|necessitates an increase in Austria's nut
put to thirty-two dreadnoughts.

MILLIONS FOR TEN CENTS.
Man Bids Farewell to Comfort
When He Makes Money.

From the Los Angeles Times.
We have received from a publishing
firm In Chicago the most heartening
communication that it has been our lot
to have laid hands on since the day we
found waiting for us in the post office a
letter from the best-looking girl in the
world. But that was long. long time
ago, while this Chicago epistle reached
us only the other day.
We have not yet replied to the COM
munication from the city of the big winds
for the reason that we have not yet suf-
f1ciently emerged from the intoxication
OF delight with which the message has
filled us. Perhaps we shall never reply
to 1t. 1t might not be for our good to
do so. Perhaps we are better off as we
are than to radically change that con-
dition in life to which we have become
seasoned and resigned.
The communication announces the pub
LEGATION Of a new book entitled The Law
book aforesaid is 10 cents. upon receipt
Of which the volume will be mailed with
the absolute guarantee that in its magic
pages will be shown the way to make
money wisely, safely and judiciously,"
how to acquire the faith necessary to
success" and "how to achieve success"
1t isn't the 10 cents which the pub
fishers demand for the book that has
caused us to delay action in sending in
our order. AS for that. we don't care
any more for a dime than Carnegie cares
about a library. We often spend even
more than 10 cents without giving the
matter q thought. No. it isn't that, but
1t Is that we are trying to decide whether
or not we had better buy this book and
plunge ourselves into the pitfalls that be-
set wealthy men, or whether we would
better remain as we are, happy and con-
tented with our nice bean rows in the
back yard, the six chickens and our two
dogs.
For, you see, there are some things
that a man must part with when he
ceases to be poor. In the first place.
there are the two dogs. Or, In case he
is very poor there may be three dogs.
His mode of procedure must suffer a
change. He can no longer really be
happy because he has assumed RESPONSE
bilities. He must be grand, and can,
therefore. no longer be comfortable. for,
as the Scotchman said. ''Ye Gamma be
bath grand and comfortable" Maybe
our wife wouldn't seem as attractive to
% as she does now, and we might find
ourselves looking at her hands, rough
with the washing of a thousand dishes,
her face lined with the cares of the
cruelty of the hard times that she en-
dured for us, and then we might grow
cold and take to the high roads and the
primrose pathways that are not good
for untried feet.

Danger to Animals From Golf Balls

From the Field.
A local farmer and horse breeder sued
the Bridgewater Golf Club for sum Of
ESQ as damages for the death of a mare
which had been struck by a golf ball.
Golfers have a mistaken impression that
nature had adequately protected sheep
and cattle from the effects of blow
by a golf ball.
The sleeps fleece Is undoubtedly
great protection, but In the spring and
summer, when sometimes many hundreds
of sheep are on our inland courses, the
writer has seen sheep hit on the head
and drop stunned as If they had been
shot and on one occasion a Swimming tee
shot broke a young lambs leg.
