rc, looks so much like the mohair fabric at distance that scarcely any difference can be discerned. The iute goods are made with cotton backs, tile yarns have the desired crimp or curl. and the lustre oe the cloth when finished has all the characteristics of the genuine article.
 The most attractive thing about these fabrics is the price. which is so low that d quick outlet is found foG all that car be produced.
 These jute goods measure A inches wide and cost about sl.75 a yard. Importers state that these materials will stand the iron and are not affected by moisture. All are woven on cotton backs and are then dyed in the piece. The dyeing pro cess is secret, and the lustrous ef- feet produced gives the cloth the appear ance of real mohair. Coming in under the iute tariff, the duty levied is com paratively small, which reduces the inn port charges to d point far below those imposed on goods that come in under the wool schedule.
 Jute astrachans will cut wide swath because of their cheapness and slightly ap- pearance but domestic producers of ma hair goods need not feel apprehensiye over the prospect as the available supply of the jute goods is limited and has been bespoken in large measure already. When Harry Rosenbaum, of the Transat- lantic Import company. was abroad he made arrangements with three German and one Austrian mill for all the jute astrachans they could make for export. While the contract was very substantial one the yardage contracted for has been placed under order by garment manufae- tllrers and others, and from the interest

 And there are many women who are in the business world whps feel just as she does, who are building for better day and home life, who would not. except for the necessity. leave the association of domestic life and work cheerfulN except thsi with their efforts they are given hope of reaching that goal of a home
 On the contrary, there are as many wAt, are working just flor something to wear" and before they reach home with their week $ pay the bulk of it is left at the ribbon counter or that of the high hceled slippers
 The proposition of the young girl-in the business world-the girl without a home influence or the uncontrolled grl-is a serious problem, and growing more so, and it is one that.can be made less dan gerous from the temptations that con front the young girl who only appears to De idle in the sfreats by the co-operations oe firms,or office buildings in setting aside an attractive rest room for young girls in close proNimfty to their crowded toil- cts. se
 This is d matter that should interest every mother m our city, for if her daughter is safe at home. she certainly is more interested m the hope Of providing for the comfort of others. and that com lori in keeping the girl off the streets is protection.

Shiny Coins For Christmas
From Hafper's Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly,
 Al this time of the year many of the banks of the country call on the United States treasury at Washington for new coins of all denominations silver. nickel and copper-to supply the demands of their customers for bright, new coins for the Christmas holidays. This demand always exceeds the normal demand for new coins. and the treasury has hereto fore not always been in a position to meet fully each request The recent sat- isfactory results from the washing of currency has given the treasury depart ment an idea for meeting the demand for shiny Christmas. money. Twenty-fve thousand dollars in halves, quarters. dimes nickels and pennies is to be washed ant polished by sthe mint bureau of the treasury department, so that all who wish can have their shiny Christmas money. Most of the old coins which are to be renovated will be sent to the Philadelphia mint from the United States treasury vaults, whence they will be supplied to the banks calling for them.
 Just what folks do with all this new coin at Christmas time is a mystery to the treasury officials. Of course much of it is used as presents and some of the small CT coins, bright, new and shiny are used fo" Christmas tree decora tions. but the major share of it, it is surmised, is just spent.
