In a Strine.

Autumn chic is seen in a suit made
of the new black and white striped
suiting. 1t resembles the old Bedford
cord, save that there's a blurred, wool
ly effect.
This suit is taut and plain, the skirt
as well as the fnger-length coat hav-
ing a slender, box effect. The broad
cloth facings of the rather deep collar
and the revers match the soft satin
lining in color. On one fascinating
example they are of a wonderfully
soft and beautifully attractive dull
petunia purple has served.

AUTUMN WINTER
SUIT NEWNESS
Some of the New Fabrics and
New Effects

New York, Aug. 1S.-Altogether fas-
cinating are the new coat suits. Stripes
appear in many of them. In plain
fabrics these stripes are in two-tone
effects. For the stripe of contrasting
colors there's a bury hairiness Of
weave which relieves the hardness, a
hardness especially triking in black
and white. All these new stripes are
narrow, about an eighth of an inch.
The olive and black stripe is scheduled
for favorite. Just now, however, the
maybe combination is more appealing,
with it's clean, cool look Deepest navy
serge will be the autumn standby and
very smart it is, trimmed with braid
and buttons.
Black velveteen, which was the rage
| last winter, is to be even more so this.
Black Velveteen.
One new black velveteen coat suit
may well be described. The coat is
| somewhat square, altogether snug, and
is finger-tip length. There's a clever
shawl collar, shaped in rounded
point at the back and reaching below
the waist line at the front. This is edg-
ed with a chenille fringe, each strand
being finished with jet bead the size
of pea. This same fringe is at the
foot of the little panel let into the left
side of the skirt. The snug skirt 8
cut with fiounce, shaped up bit at
| the sides in pointed effect There
some braiding in panel effect at the
foot Of the skirt, and the coat is
braided broadly at the front and the
back, from just above the waist line
downward.

the object of a good deal of flippant comment. The point of the
humorists has been that Congress is trying TO get up a big circulation
for its own paper by h%andicappng the magazines of the people.
The proposal, however, merits honest approval. While the
Congressional Record is not a wholly reliable Journal of proceedings
in either House, it is nevertheless deserving of much wider reading
than it gets. A reduction of the price to a figure that will put It in
reach Of every serious minded citizen is to he commended. Not much
can be said in praise of it a a magnetic novelty, but it is a live wire

and the expedency Of such a reform. The right OF a people to say

cation OF the facts in question virtually gives advantage to business
rivals. and is, therefore, an injury to the companies concerned.
The plea is not without merit. Certainly neither the State nor
the press ought to injure any corporation by exposing its secret,
for the benefit of rivals. But in this case any injury Of that kind
can hardly be very great, while the benefit flowing from publicity is
enormous. A well ordered, well managed trust company will re-
ccive nothing but profit from n fair exposition of its business to the
general public.
Moreover the order is reactionary. 1t tends to return to dark
ness, when the demand is for more light. 1t should be revoked.
