SERGE Is POPULAR MATERIAL
Goats for Both Grown-Ups and Chill
dren Are Seen Both in Dark Blue
and Checks.

Serge is preferred to cloth for the
serviceable coat and very often a
smart little coat of serge has no
trimming at all save big collar OF
some contrasting material.
Dark blue serge and black and
white check seem to be the favor
ttes for the tailored coats designed for
serviceable wear. though biscuit and
khaki tones are considerably used.
On the dark blue serge a big collar
of dull blue crash, plain or with seal
Hoped and embroidered edge and per-
haps some other embroidery design
is liked. Ecru linen is used for col
lars, too, and some little coats in dark
blue have big collars of soft rose linen
embroidered in white.
Then, too, big collars of embroid-
cred white pique are very smart on
the dark coats. Often in the coats
for children from three to six years
of age the coat which falls almost to
the bottom of the dress has a collar
wide over the shoulders and sloping
down quite to the bottom of the coat.
Or perhaps the fronts cross diagonally,
following the natural line of such a
collar and two big buttons are set on
diagonally at the very bottom of the
overlapping front, the collar ending
just above.

Her Sister Susie
By CARL JENKINS

Copyright. 1911. by Associated Literary Press.)

Married for love! Married Just a
year! And here was young Mrs.
James Anderson driving over to the
town Of Dexter in the pony cart with
her sister Susie to file an application
for divorce! She had fed from her
home to that of her father and mother,
and both of them had said there was
no other way out of it except to secure
a divorce. The husband of a year
that would come home and swear at
his wife, would probably chop her up
with an ak the second year Yes, Ron
aid had come home and sworn and
kicked a foot-stool skyhigh, and said
seemed dreadful to everyone but Susie.
AS for her. she asked of the weeping
wife and sister:
We'll, why didn't you swear back
and kick over two chairs? And why
did you run away before he had q
chance to say he was sorry, and make
up?"
Mr.. Anderson had been given a
whole month to come on Bonded
knees, and ask forgiveness, but he
hadn't appeared. 1t was even said by
those who met him daily that his
face wore a smile. Until this smiling
business came to her ears, the wife
had not thought seriously of divorce.
Then she was angry and ready to
listen to the counsel of her parents,
who had objected to the husband from
the outset of his courtship.
IF l had a husband" said Miss SUI
sic, as they drove along; IF | had
husband with black eyes, and darling
mustache, and curly hair, and white
teeth, and small feet. do you think l
would divorce him?'

ply.

TAPESTRIES IN NEW DESIGNS
Light Summer Hangings This Year
Are Prettier Than Those of
Recent Seasons.

Each year brings its special fashions
In furnishings, and just now, when the
question of house cleaning is promi-
nently to the fore, no little interest is
being taken in the new chintz and
tapestries which are now on show for
loose coverings of all kinds. Every
where one notices the effect of the
Jacobean influence which is reassert-
ing itself in matter appertaining to
household decorations.
In place of the bunch of roses tied
with bows of colored ribbon, which
have figured on all chintz of late, one
finds the new furnishing fabrics are
printed in variation of rich reds,
greens, browns or wine color on a
cream ground, or display bold conven-
I tional designs somewhat closely pat
termed, which lend themselves admir-
ably to furnishing purposes and which
look far more handsome and imposing
than the simple floral designs of yes
terday?
This new Jacobean taffeta is being
used for curtains, bedspreads and
cushion covers, as well as for cover
ing chairs and sofas.

Decidedly chic is this simple little

a graceful line to the shoulder and at
the back these revers extend into a

of tucked muslin and lace is matched
by deep cuffs, which have much to do
with the distinction of this simple lit

Breeders, feeders, or investigators
who consider only the cost of produc-
ton and the market value of the live
animal. ignoring the demands of the
meat trade, overlook one of the most
important factors that affect the live
stock market and may thus fail to fol-
low the most rational lines of i'm
provement in breeding and feeding.
With an understanding of meat-trade
requirements it is possible for stock
man to Judge the carcass yield and
quality of his animals intelligently
as buyers at the stock yards. because
his knowledge of the feeds used,
length of feeding period, and gains
made are as essential in making such
estimates as the apparent form, con-
dition. and quality Of the fat animal,
upon which points the buyer must
chiefly rely.
The descriptions presented are
based on data secured in an investiga-
ton at wholesale meat markets at the
Union stock yards, Chicago, and also
at prominent wholesale and retail
markets in Chicago and other cities
which are supplied from the large
houses at the Union stock yards, and
may be considered standard for all
the great packing centers of this
country; and since most American
wholesale markets are supplied from
these centers. the classification may
be regarded as standard for the coun-
try. 1t should be borne in mind that
the classifcations are those of the
wholesale meat trade and not of the
live stock market, and that the
weights given refer to dressed car
casses and cuts. and in no case to live
animals.
