OF fur coats and fur scarfs and NUNS,
and the price tags attached to their
stock evidently proved an irresistible
magnet to the shoppers that thronged
To the opening.
Natty novelties in fllrs were tried
on over the sheerest OF summer
gowns with no thought OF the incon-
gruity entering the mind OF the fem
mime seeker after fashionable addi-
tons to her midwinter wardrobe, and
perspiring sales-people found an UNI
expected interest on SO warm a day
in garments that usually attract atten-
ton only during the season for which
they were intended. The Elmer firm
Is making a speciality also OF tailored
suits priced from $40 to SIS, guaran-
teeing to give the utmost value In
cloth, style and workmanship for the
money. Fashionably cut skirts in the
modified hobble and other novelties OF
the moment are to be found In this
store at the special price OF S..
The fact that the firms Detroit
store is one of a string OF similar
stores in Chicago and other large cit
les makes 1t possible for them TO offer
the largest possible selection OF coats,
suits, gowns and furs at a minimum
cost because OF the enormous quaint
ties which they purchase from the
manufacturers. The second floor of
the store is given over TO the fitting
and work rooms. Fittings Of all gar
ments are made at the time of pur-
chase. no other fittings being neces-
sary, an innovation bound To be APP
preclated by the average shopper.
Floral offerings from business
friends decorated the store on the
opening day.

VIM. Barnes. Jr.. Albany publisher
and Republican near-bosslet OF New
York state, has been a member OF the
Republican state committee since
1892. and since the enforced retire
ment of the late Senator Plat has
helped Timothy Woodruff-of the
many-hued waistcoat fame-run the
organization.
II was Barnes who fought the
primary bill favored by Gov. Hughes
and Col. Roosevelt. II was he also
who tried to put dent into the Roose-
veltian popularity by trying to make
Sherman temporary chairman OF the
state convention.
Barnes has one pet hobby and that
is to fight anything that has received
r. RS approval. He isn't at all back
ward about saying 80 either. In fact
he likes to talk about what he will do
to the former president The mere
fact that the Republican voters of the
state are against him in this matter
does not seem to fret the Albany near
boss in the least. Barnes has been col
lector of the port OF Albany since
1899. He was first appointed by Roose-
Welt.

NEW TENDENCY IN ENGLAND
To Make Necessary Education As En-.
ioyabIe and Interesting As Possible.

A strong tendency has been noticeable
of late years in England and other coun-
tries toward the development of the
pleasant side of education, or in other
words toward making all such teaching
as is considered necessary as enjoyable
and interesting as possible. The boy with
a taste for mechanics is not, too soon,
taught as much mathematics and theory
as will enable him to understand the
working of complicated machinery, for
it has been found that he often thereby
loses his interest in the subject. rms
hobby is rather fostered with interesting
mechanical toys and working models.
