Educational Work of the
Delta County Y. NJ. c. A


The educational department of
the Y NJ. c. A. strives to meet I'M
met needs in the county. Its OBJ
ject is not to duplicate but rather
to supplement the work of public
schools and other educational agen-
cies.
The unmet need is that of the
boy or young man beyond the reach
of school authority with but lit
tie learning and no special train
ing for a life's work. Mr.. George
p. Hodge. educational secretary OF
the y. NJ. c. A. is authority Tor
the statement that there are in the
United States four millions of boys
between the ages of twelve and six
teen out of school, and that eight
millions of men between the ages OF
sixteen and thirty are untitled for
any vocation.
Delta county is responsible, in
part, for this situation and the y.
NJ. c. A. has made a beginning in
meeting it. Eleven practical talks
given during the year by local bust
ness and professional men were at
tended by a total of two hundred
and forty-five young men and boys.
The aim of these talks has been TO
impress the boys with the import
ance of a thorough preparation TO
continue their school work and TO
make them feel their duties toward
home, community and state.
A number of talks on the sub
jects of personal and sexual hygiene
were given to groupes of boys by
physicians and other competent per
sons.
Reading has been encouraged by
the introduction of travelling Ii
braries in two places-Crawford and
Cedaredge. These libraries are COM
posed of fifty books each and may
be retained six months. The only
expense to the local organization is
the transportation,
\ rotate growing contest OF
special interest to boys on the farm
was conducted during the season.
Fifty boys enrolled and during fair
week in Delta twelve boys placed
potatoes on exhibition in compeu-
ton for valuable prizes offered by
the state agricultural college and
Delta business men. Two of these
prizes were free trips to Fort Col
Inns. But better than n prize is the
knowledge of potato culture gained
by each boy.

work of. the Y. NJ. c. A. for the

the long haired furs-sable, blue fox and
even the less expensive fox turs-are be-
coming and the ermine coat or wrap
trimmed in this way is a superb garment
One expense leads to another, it is well
known, and the woman who can afford
the ermine coat considers it not sufficient
for the winters outfit, and accordingly
purchases also the new style of brocads
opera wrap, also trimmed with fur. The
price of such a wrap when lined with
fur compares favorably with the ermins
coat. for the fur lining is invariably Of
an expensive quality.
Gold and Silver Brocades.
Gold and silver brocades in strange

effective this season. They

can be trimmed with any sort oL
fur, but the long haired skins are
best, while ermine and seaIskin look
better on plain materials. There are
shawl collars, square sailor collars and
pointed reyers of the fur; some wraps
are trimmed all around with the fur;
others have only the collar. One attrae-
tive fashion Il the fronts faced with the

charming. For the benefit Of the ma

that there are brocades and furs effective

ing wrap for far less expense than might
be supposed. As to the durability Of

The most superb materials are this sea-
son used for opera cloaks. Brocade satin
and velvet of the costliest description,
trimmed with sable and ermine and lined
throughout with the most expensive Of
skins, provide a wonderful combination
that cannot we'll be excelled either for
expense or beauty. Brocades. with the

brocades, heavy enough for curtains; vel
vet brocades with dark figures against a
light background, and vice versa, are con-
spicuous. naturally, but these are not
garments to be worn in public convey
ances, but are in keeping with the private
carriage or still more fashionable motor.
Smart Coats Are Full.
In shape there is no marked difference
from the models of last season The

turned back cuffs Of satin or plain velvet.
A plain velvet or satin coat, with revers
and all trimmings Of brocade, can be made
for less money. and. while not to be com
pared with the luxurious and costly gar
ment Of expensive brocade and fur, can
be most effective and smart and becoming,
while with the addition of handsome fur
collar and cuffs there need not be any ap-
pearance of forced economy. The fur is
so fashioned it can be worn with other
coats 1t is worth while to buy a good
quality. Loose flowing sleeves and often
no sleeves are points TO be noticed in the
newest evening wraps, but a closer in
spection will reveal wide sleeves in the ap-
parently sleeveless wraps, for. again, it
must be said that warmth is essential for
any winter wrap. and although the cloaks
can be fastened up on the shoulder or one
side well over the other, a sleeveless gar
ment is never quite so satisfactory. The
short sleeves inside, through which the
hands can be slipped. are delightfully."-
comfortable. The wide arm holes and
flowing outer sleeves are by far the most
practical for any wrap to be worn over
light gowns. Any other style is so bad
The Washington herald., 1911-11-05

enough to lap over one another, and there
Is sufficient width across the shoulders
and in the armholes to preclude any
danger of injury to the gown over which
it is worn.
Unless the wrap is graceful it is not
smart, for graceful lines are demanded,
and once again dressmakers have q
hard problem to solye-to dispose of so
much and such heavy material, providing
sufficient width and at the same time
giving a slender effect. Fortunately the
dressmakers and designers of the day
have solved the problem. and the woman
who can order her wrap this winter
without stopping to count the cost must
be either cursed with extraordinary bad
taste or employ q dressmaker not worthy

q o much depends upon the becoming
ness of the evening wrap or o7era
cloak that many women contend it
- is better worth while to invest their
money in this outer garment rather
than in an extra evening gown. In
the pitiless light of the theatre lobby or the
vestibule of tie opera, not to speak Of the
entrance hall of the private house, a wom-
an knows that she sadly needs every help
that becoming cloak will bestow. Once
in the drawing room, ballroom, theatre
or opera her gown will pass muster un-
less hopelessly dowdy and she will not
need the kindly aid of the all enveloping
wrap. Attired in the costliest of gowns
hidden under an unbecoming garment
that may possess warmth but no other
virtue, a woman will be considered badly
turned out, and she cannot fail to realize

planned to suggest slenderness and long
lines; seams are cut to emphasize this
and while there must be an appearance
of extrayagant use of material. in reality
there is not an inch more than is neces-
sary. With the costly fabrics that are
now fashionable this is merciful pro-
vision for the average woman who has
to count the cost. And it is extraor-
dinary how little material is required.
Often a comparatively small piece Of
brocade, velvet or satin can be combined
with a plain and much less expensive
quality for far less outlay.
Loose, Flowing Sleeves.
Another method by which expense can
be curtaiied is in the amount of fur used
for trimming. The broad band around the

heavy. cumbersome garment whose
weight was once considered proof of its
warmth. All fashions Of to-day are

for the lace net or velvet waist that 1t was
long ago deemed most impracticable. At
ths'same time 1t must be admitted there
are many smart evening wraps this year
made with coat sleeves. and comparatively
small coat sleeves.
Superb Fur Wraps.
Most attractive and effective are the
costly fun evening wraps. Ermine, but
without the tails, makes a superb wrap.
and when trimmed with sable or blue fox
looks as costly as it is. certainly good
thing when the expense is realized. Err

Wraps Must Look Warm.

Wraps Must Look Warm.
Clever women have learned that to look
well in the cold of winter they must be
warmly clad; consequently all sorts of fur
garments and fur trimmed garments are
in steady demand. The woman who wraps
herself up in a fur lined, fur trimmed
evening coat has the satisfaction not only
of being comfortably clad but of knowing
she looks 50, and she can unuggIe down
under the fur Of her high collar knowing
that, to begin with, little of her face ap-
pears and that she gives the effect Of
being dslightfully and most sensibIy clad
