TRANSACTIONS OF NATION
REACH HUGE TOTAL YEARLY

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE cash
transactions of Lee McClung, treas
urer of the United States with the
business world during the fiscal year
1912, climbed to the enormous total
of S4.S37, ,226,3SS, the highest in the
history of the country. This amount.
S300,000,000 greater than the previous
year. represents the combined income
and expenditures of the government
Including the intro-departmental
transactions. which necessarily in
volve duplication, the total amount of
money handled by the divisions of the
treasurer's office reached $6,601, ,731,-
502
This sum passed through hundreds
of hands in the treasury, but only one
official was bonded for its security
the treasurer of the United States,
whose bond is only $150,000 and who
by law is personally held responsible
for every cent of the billions that
pass through his office yearly.
In the few cases of defalcations
which have occurred in the treasury,
congress has invariably relieved the
treasurer, but McClung, like his prede-
cessors, maintains that every man in
his office who handles money should
be bonded. Under present conditions
he must depend largely on the honesty
of his subordinates and a comprehen-
sive system of checks against individu-
ais and groups of individuals to detect
irregularities.
The bureau of engraving and print
ing turned out during the year $780,
096,000 in paper United States cur
rency to take the place of notes worn
to unfitness for circulation.

VOTE DOWN FIERY HE'LL

WASHINGTON, July 17.-There is
no lake of fire or birthstone" into
which wicked persons are plunged
and which is calculated to give them
eternal pain. The International Bible
Students association has so decided
The lake was formally voted out OF
existence today at the meeting of the
association in the Glen Echo auditOri'
um. The convention recorded its dis,
belief in the doctrine. after General
William P. Hall, U. S. A., had com
pleted an address in which he called
for a public reputation of the "fire
and birthstone" theory of eternal tor
ment. General Hall said that thou
sands of critical Bible students have
agreed that the Bible does not teach
such doctrine. The association will
take steps to appeal to every minister
in the country to express his views.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The New

fess that she %patronizes a department
store for clothes. II buy my gowns
of Louise she will remark impress
sively. Or perhaps it Is ''Jeannette''
or "Cecile," she mentions, for you
must know that all the exclusive
dressmakers on Fifth avenue are only
known by their given names-not
necessarily the ones given them by
their parents, but more probably the
ones given to them for euphonistic
advertising purposes.
So l visited several of these shops
in my hunt for fashion gossip to
write to the Evening Star readers.
You are seated in a dressing-room
done in Louis XIV. style, and after
you have told the languid young
woman in the trailing black char
meuse gown exactly what you want
your dress for, one is brought forth
for your inspection. If you decide
that o do not wish 1t, 1t is care
fully taken out of your sight before
another is revealed.
Do not think, however, that the
best things are shown you, unless you
come with some customer Of the shop.
You might possibly be a rival Dress
maker trying to steal the exclusive
style!

est in you except to say that no ex-
elusive models are ever shown there.
She does not want department store
trade.
Brocaded goods are being used
more and more for c~eremonious
gowns and wraps; in fact. l saw at
one place a white brocaded velvet
negligee trimmed with swansdown
and a white lace cap to match. This
seemed to me the height of luxurious
extravaganza.
A great many of the evening
dresses are in dark color brocaded
upon gold, and one of the most beau
tiful combinations is the popular
taupe and silver. Taupe is exceeding
ly becoming to every one who has a
clear complexion, but the wrinkled
or blotchy-faced woman should be-
ware of it.
Velvet trimmed with fur is to be
the great mode of the winter, and af-
ter taupe the color most popular
among the exclusive Fifth avenue
shops is brown.
At a number of. these little shops
they do not show you the full-sized
models. They bring out the cum
ningest little life-like dolls. On these
the dress is made with every detail
of the design in perfection.

A FASHIONABLE COAT SUIT
BY MAY MANTON

The coat suits this season are very
attractive and a great many of them
are edged with braid. The bands
serve the double purpose OF being
handsome and Of finishing the edges.
This suit shows a jaunty little coat
and one of the very new skirts that
includes a plated panel at the left
of the front. Blue whipcord Is the
material shown and the trimming is
black braid. Blue and brown are to
be favorite colors, but the wise girl
chooses the one that suits her best.
Serge and whipcord are standbys
but new materials show some very
charming effects. There Is g. wool
corduroy that is handsome and wool
velours make an extremely hand
some costume and a little later we
will see girls suits made from vel
vet. For school and really hard
usage, cheviot, homespun and mix
lures are liked. This suit is adapted
to them all. The banded edges are
handsome, as well as fashionable,
but the stitched finish is ia every way
correct, while, if contrast is liked.

different material. Ratine, or eponge,
In wool is one of the materials of the
autumn and it makes very effective
for plain fabrics. A novel
feature of the coat Is found in the
back, which has two different sides,
and different sides are the smartest
of all things just now. The left side
has n simple seam hut the right side
Is Tapped onto a side panel and the
r very pretty and becoming.
The skirt is in five cores. II can be
cut to the high line or to the natural
line, and, If the plated panel is not
liked, it can be made plain. The
panel at the back can be stitched TO
any desired depth.
For the 16-year- size the coat will

KEEPING

Shoes should be kept well oiled in
damp weather, and il wet should be
dried slowly, lest they warp or shrink.
The method of occasionally rubbing
over kid shoes with castor oil is
adopted by some people. One Of the
best methods Of rendering new boots
impervious to damp Is that of war;
ntshing the soles Three or four coat
ings should be applied in succession.
while the whole surface Of the leather
composing the uppers should be
rubbed Over with a cut lemon, the
latter ~precaution insuring a good poll
