FINE FABRICS CHEAP
NOW THE APPOINTED TIME TO

Bargains Sure to Be Picked Up by the

of Present Fashion IL
I Illustrated.

AS most persons do their winter
buying soon, this is a famous time tor
looking up bargains In choice materi-
ais. Already the shops have put q
number OF exclusive fabrics on sale,
such textures as are rare in design
and coloring and which have not been
In large demand. The prohlbitive
prices hitherto charged fer the lovely
materials could only restrict them to
the few up to this time Anything
with CLINT OF silver or gold tinsel in
1t is still apt to retain the first price
mark, as tinsel-woven farbrics are the
rage and are eagerly snapped UP by
everybody who can afford them, when
they are In novel designs; but there
are numerous sorts of strictly winter
textiles, which will be most useful up
to late spring, as well as fabrics which
have an all-the-year value, among the
bargains. Twenty-seven-inch velyets
and yelveteens once dollar and a
quarter and two dollars yard are
now 50 and 70 cents. Fancy voiles in
the same width, originally priced far
more, are 40 cents yard, and grapes,
hordered chiffons, cut velvets and
silks. brocaded and plain, are CORE.
spondingly cheapened. 1t stands to
reason that the trimmings required are
likewise reduced, SO that those who
have been denied tue winter novelties
up to this period have quite an opror-
tunity for making up for lost time.
Fringes make the smartest decking
for gowns and petticoats, so q cheap
remnant too short for anything else
can always be used on the underskirt

suits frequently have the bottom OF

panels of the skirt, back and front
being similarly treated, even when
velvets and braids are also employed

Wages in Greece.

There Is a prevalent notion that
the cost of living in Southern
Europe is very much lower than 1t
Is in the United States. The notion
probably had its origin many years
ago, and was based upon super
cial observations of travellers. The
mere fact that hundreds of thous-
ands of emigrants leave Southern
Europe for America every year
would seem TO indicate that the eco
nomic conditions of ordinary life
are easier in America than in South
ern Europe, according to consular re.

RANDOM CLIPPINGS
The Novelty of a Postal Surplus

The Novelty of a Postal Surplus,
To this generation postal sur
plus of nearly 100000 IS a great
surprise. Only two years ago the
postal deficit was about $17500,-
geo, the heaviest on record, and talk
OF economy without curtailment of
facilities was not taken very seri-
ously.
Mr. Hitchcock Eas redeemed his
promise. He has made improvements
and extensions, yet he has converted
q threatening deficit into modest
hut smiling surplus.
True, some of his changes and
acts have aroused criticism-for ex-
ample, the shipping of magazines by
fast freight. Cetrain of his recon-
mendations (like the revising of the
sacond-class rate) are being studied
by a commission. But, whatever,
may be said of this or that specific
proposal or innovation, on the whole
Mr.. Hitchcock has Shown how to
do it." His administration of the pos
tai service has been efficient and
vital. He has saved millions by
simplifying and undermining the
service. He has followed business
! IKE methods. He has been original
aid vigilant.
There is not a department OF the
government which could not save
millions in the same way, Our an
nual waste is appalling. Why not
save money and apply it so as to pro
mote health, justice, order and Sc
| curity?

OVER $50 MAY BE DEAD
IN BRIDGE COLLAPSE

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Dec. s.
1T is believed that between $50 and
200 lives have been lost by the col
lapse OF a railroad bridge over the
Volga river. near KaZan. The bridge
was In course of construction and was
filled with workmen, when, without
warning. the supports gave way and
the men were precipitated into the
icy waters. Only half dozen bodies
have been recovered and the authori-
ties express the hope that some of the
men have been able TO save them
selves by grasping cakes Of floating
ice
Troops have been despatched to
. both sides of the river to search for
bodies and to rescue any of the men
who may still be alive.
Pressure of ice against the weaken
ed supports of the bridge are believed
to have caused the disaster. Until a
roll OF the workers is called ii cannot
be determined how many were on the
structure at the time IL fell. Laborers,
however, declare that 200 men were
thrown into the river and they believe
that most of them have perished.

CALL ON KING GEORGE
Constant Stream of Gorgeously

Official Visits.

DELHI, India, Dec. S.--A constant
stream OF gorgeously attired poten-
tates paid Official calls on King
George today. All were accompanied
by bodyguards, prime ministers and
courtiers.
The British court officials were kept
busy ascertaining the proper rank of
the visitors and marshalling them In
order.
Many squabbles have arisen over
the position assigned certain chief
tains, which may result In tribal
troubles.
In the afternoon the king-emperor
and queen-empress unvailed the huge
equestrian statue OF King Edward,
subscribed for by the British inhabit-
ants and native rulers.
The ceremony was brilliant The
streets were lined with troops. Most

BEATEN BY HUSBAND LEFT
DESTITUTE WITH BABES
Mrs. Carter's Plight Furnishes
Chance For Exercise Of
Christmas Spirit.

Just at this season of the year
when the world and his wife are bus
lily planning little surprises for each
other. with a gaily decked Christmas
tree for the little ones occupying a
big part of the background of their
thoughts, Bob" Carter, good fellow
in certain saloons-gave his wife her
customary beating and left her and
his two pretty little children, last
Sunday.
She was penniless, and helpless
from the cruel bruises he inflicted.
and there was no food in the two
dingy rooms, in a little house in the
rear of No. SOS Leland-st., which Mrs.
Carter calls home.
With her side terribly bruised and
discolored, one cheek badly swollen
from a blow from her husbands fist,
and her left eye blackened and swol-
len shut where he struck her with a
piece OF stove wood, she was unable
to stir from her home from Sunday
until Thursday morning. Her rent
was due, Thursday, and she fears the
loss of her home. Carter told her
that he was never coming back. She
views that declaration with mingled
feelings Tears creep into her eyes
when she looks at her poor little ba-
bies, but, she says, she has lain in
bed, trembling, when she heard her
husband coming home, to tell her OF
his conquests of women, or of "the
little girls that hang around the city
hail." and, often, to beat her cruelty
IL she protested against his intoxicat-
ed condition, and his use of vile Ian
guage before his children. She says
that for several years she has suf-
fered an average of one beating each
week.
That is the present status of the
romance between a pretty barmaid
in a London tavern, who was wooed
and won and married, Aug. 2, 1905,
by a dashing jewelry salesman, who
often visited the tavern.
And in spite Of the rags in which
she is clothed, and the poor, bruised
face, and that swift and sure physical
decadence which comes of living in
wretched novels, there Is still a charm
about this woman, which takes one
back to the picturesque London tav-
ern, of which she says: Il was
treated like queen there, as a bar
maid, far better than have ever been
treated since. They respect the bar
maid who respects herself, and no
high lady is treated better. | wish
| were back there, now"
Perhaps 1t is her voice, with its
soft English accent, which appeals to
one, but when the big tears well up
in her eyes, as she cuddles her two
pretty, but .pinched looking babes, and
fondles them as only mother can,
the present laws for wife-beaters and
-desertefs seem feaFfully inadequate.
