Empire Effect in Coats.

The empire effect is much in vogue in coats as
in dresses but may not last there are many ways
of counterfetng it. which do not necesstate cutting
the coat material One of these little schemes is to
use trimming of wide braid applied like girdle to
give short-waisted effect. This idea is carried out
in the jacket shown in illustration.
This jacket illustrates Peerless pattern No 5522
The coat has panel in both front and back The
closing of the front is straight and rather low Above
it is the opening of the neck which has smart roll
ing collar. The sleeves have little funess at the
shoulder and a turn-back cuff at the wrist.
These coats are made OF extra wide velvet of
wool-back satin lined; of tweed broadcloth and other
woolen fabrics, while braid is the universal trimming

FODDER FOR
FIGHT FANS
London Sports Want to See
LanGfOrd and Johnson
in Next Mill
BAKER WILL SHOW
IN REAL CLASS TONIGHT

Sam Langford is the pugilistic Won
der Of London today, and nothing Will
satisfy the sports but to see him
clash with Jack Johnson for the
worlds title.
The ease with which the Boston
negro. weighing 1853 pounds whipped
Bill Lang. who weighed close TO 220
pounds. last night surprised every
body. So decisive was Langfords vic
tory that there is general regret that
Lang's disqualifying foul in the sixth
round robbed the negro of the knock
out that seemed inevitable.
Should promoter Mcintosh succeed
in matching Langford and Johnson
for Coronation week, Langford Will
not lack for backing. Most of those
who saw him literally sweep Lang off
the boards believe him the greatest
scrapper in the world.
Langford was about London today
with not mark OF the fight showing
He says he will stay in training until
the result of MclntOsh's negotiations
with Johnson is definitely known.
