white checked ones, the plaids or

Red ones are much worn by young
girls.
Most attractive are the young miss
es seen at the seaside places wearing
red sports coats over their white
dresses. White ones are, of course,
often seen, too, and are considered
very chic, especially when worn with
black dresses. Gray ones, and those
made of the large black and white
checks, are for travellers and for use
full purposes generally. These looR

SPORTS COATS AND
FALL OUTING WRAPS
ERMlNE, OTTER AND SKUNK TO BE LAvsHLY THIS WIN
rER-FUR AND CHIFFON CLOTH

New York, Sept. Although we are
by no means through with hot wealth
er, the question of coats and wraps is
again rising in the mental horizon of
the feminine world. Last spring, with
the fondness for semi-princess dress
es, came the need for some kind of an
extra garment for warmth, and so we
began to see many varieties of top
coat The sports coat, so-called,
seemed to prove more than shadow
of coming events, for travellers report
ed them as appearing on railroad and
steamship lines. Then the midsummer
heat settled down upon us and the fer
vor of affection for top-coats waned.
But evenings in September are
sometimes cool, and vacation
days give opportunity for lit
tie trips to mountain resort
or seashore, and so the coat is once
more to the fore. The sports coat, in
particular, is justlfyirg its existence.
1t is easy to don and quickly dotted,
of an ample fulness, yet neatly belted
in at the waist with a belt of its OWL
material, so that it is both comfortable
and smart. 1t is made of rough-and-
ready woolly mixtures, of chinchilla,

straps across the front These small
accessories accomplish the difficult
task of appearing extremely ornamen-
tai while really performing a purely
useful service. They are sometimes
tied in small bows in front, or they
may be fastened with tiny rhinestone
buckles or jeweled pins
In figure we have another service
able dress which the advent of the top
coat makes practical for outdoor wear.
This is a black and white silk some
times Familiarity known as pepper
and salt" A narrow black velvet
border outlines the side-closing of
blouse and skirt. Buttons, loops, and
girdle supplement the velvet as trim
ming features, and the whole costume
is made dainty by the lace pierrot
frills at neck and sleeves.
Nothing about either of these dress
es will detract from the good looks of
the smartest coat. For sports coats
will not be the only subject of interest
in that line this fall. Reports from
the buyers now abroad tell of many
novel designs. Very long velvet
coats, trimmed with otter, will put
temptation in many a woman's way
The straight, severe lines of last
years models are bit passe, and this
winter pleated sections and panels set
in the back below the waistline give
the coat somewhat the appearance of
costume. In some Of the cloth coats
the back panel is made of plush or
velvet, the liking for the use of two
materials, you see, having its influence
on all articles of woman's wear. Oc-
casionally the velvet is set in at the
back or sides in boX-pleats, which are
trimmed with buttons or with passe-
menterie. A new coat recently i'm
ported was tight-fitting to the waist
line, quite in mannish fashion, and had
the lower part set on in pleats from
the waist down.
Fur will be extremely popular for
trimming coats, and dresses as well,
this season. Skunk is frequently
used and is a good kind to choose
because it is as appropriate for heavy
materials as for the broadcloth and

A dog owned by ]. B. Britts, north
of Fulton, may be an epicure, so far
as tastes go in the canine family,
but Britts and his neighbors have a
different name for his gastronomic
preferences. 1t all comes about through
the dogs fondness for big green
worms that inhabit the Britts' to-
mato field.
Britts operate a canning factory
and this season put all of his land
into use for growing tomatoes. About
the only objection he saw to the cat

mato plants.

There is a note of real alarm in the
papers which forsees disaster to the
agricultural interests of England if
the drain to Australia and Canada
keeps on year or two longer There
are bitter reproaches that men are
not encouraged to settle on British
soil, of which there is an incalcul-
able acreage running to waist at the
present moment. The possibilities
of afforestation, fruit growing and
market gardening, above all poultry
raising, and egg production, have
been much delt on of late in the
press. The average Britisher is said
never to taste poultry or eggs which
are scarse, dear, and little produced
in England Milk, butter and cheese
are none too plentiful, all of which
is owing to the neglect of interests
whereby the whole country is i'm
