A NEW STYLE COAT.
The "Steamsr" Is Especially Adapt
able to Stout Figures.

The "Steamsr" Is Especially Adapt
able to Stout Figures.
A new idea which is being introduced
for the autumn is the steamer" coat.
This coat Is one Of the handiest in
ventions Of the season, as it can be
used for a good Sunday gO~to- meeting
coat, steamer rug or horse blanket
and then can be wrapped up in small
parcel and carried under the arm.
The material, although warm in tex
ture, is very light in weight and has
the advantage Of coming half off or
being buttoned tightly around the neck.
1t is made of one piece of material,
ffty-two inches wide, and when fas-
tened we'll around the neck forms
kind OF shroud. 1t has numerous but
tons along the underarm seam Of
the sleeve and down to the hem. 1t is
especially adapted for an ocean voyage,
as it can be wrapped around the per-
son sitting in a steamer chair and fas-
tened at the back.
This garment is made big and loose
fitting. So from now on everything
will be in accordance with the wishes
of the stout women.

box were occupied casting sly glances
at each other, and it required several
lessons to enable them to get at their
respective treasures. When the box
was finally opened each took look at
the contents. They expressed them
selves satisfied, exchanged addresses
and departed.
In couple of days Lucy Miller re-
ceived a note from Billy saying the
whole matter had been such a surprise
to him that he had not even thought
to notice the location OF his farm
Would she mind meeting him again at
an appointed time? OF course she con-
sented-she was obliged to consent
and four days after the first opening
there was a second one. Then Lucy
wrote that some one had asked her IL
her bonds were registered" or "cou-
pom" and she didn't know. She would
like him to help her unlock the box
During the second week Of the joint
ownership the box was opened four
times. On the fourth Billy told the
custodian that he needn't trouble him
self to come with them to the box
since they now understood the opening
process perfectly The custodian smiled
and reminded Billy that he had GER
tain unlocking to do himself. When
they left the office Billy looked visit
fully at a leather covered sofa In the
parlor, wishing he and Lucy could sit
there awhile together, but the deposit
company was place of business and
nothing else. However when Lucy
wished to cut her coupons Billy was
permitted to go into a little 4 by 6
compartment with her while she did
the clipping.
Billy wished to take possession Of
his farm. but had 10 money for live
stock or farming implements. This
suggested Lucy's bonds. He couldn't
steal them If he wanted to, which he
didn't, for both Lucy and the custo-
dian were present when they were
do on the farm alone? He wouldn't
think Of running it without woman's
help.
One day Billy got a note from the
manager Of the deposit company that
the partnership box had been rented
for only three months and the term
was about to expire. Billy and Lucy
could not have it for another term
for the reason that their visits to their
box were so frequent that 1t took up
too much of the custodian's time.
On receipt Of this letter Billy went
to the address Lucy Miller had given
him, and before he left her they were
married and went to live on Billy's
farm.

To Trim Square Neck.

A square or round neck is not at all
hard to finish if you follow this plan.
After the waist is fitted the shoulder
seams should be seweG and pressed
and the hastings of the under arm
seams ripped. so that the waist can be
laid fiat on a sewing board or table and
lace or insertion can be applied with
out any difficulty. Finish the neck
and then complete the remainder of the
blouse.
If lace is to be applied fat this is
the only way in which 1t can be per-
fectly done, for If the finish Of the neck
is left until last it is almost impossible
to make it straight and true.

Fashion Ideas and Household Hints
WAIST LINE FOR AUTUMN.
Women Will Wear Belts and Also
Have Hips.

The autumn woman is to have q
waist line. At last there IS to be a di-
viding line between the waist and the
skirt. Moreover, belts are to be In
vogue once more. so now it will no
longer be difficult matter to tell where
the waist ends and the skirt begins.
The autumn woman will also have
hips. The reign Of the slender figure is
at an end.
Such Is the decree which has been
handed down by the members of the
Ladies' TailOrs and Dressmakers' asso-
citation. And, moreover, the idea or the
hips is entirely American, as the asso-
citation has fully decided to break away
from the apron strings of Paris ana
stand on its own two feet. New ideas
have been popping up from the various
members ever since the new fall styles
were first thought about.
The tailors are going to make every
thing baggy over the hips-so baggy, in
fact, that unless you are very stout
you will be forced to wear a hustle.
Then the skirt is to be gathered into
tight, wide band little below the
knees and reaching just three inches
above the ground. A wide girdle at
the waist is the latest fad. so that the
top Of the skirt will coincide with the
bottom, and only an experienced hand
will be able to tell which is the belt
line and which is the hem.
The coat is to be made with a waist
with a wide 1oEnce falling from the
belt to the knees
Sleeves are to be much shorter this
year than they were last. The cuff IS
to be Of Russian lace and comes half
way down between the elbow and the
wrist.

%HERE'S a letter for you in the
box, Billy" said the farmer.
"Somepin important, reckon"

"HE%HERE'S a letter for you in the
box, Billy said the farmer
''SOmepin important, reckon"
Billy Andrews, young farm
hand, threw down a pitchfOrk with
which he had been tossing hay on to a
wagon, went to a rural delivery box on
the road and took out a letter. The
printing referred to was the firm name
and address of Cleaver, Cutie &
Crane, attorneys at law. The letter
stated that William Henderson, Billys
uncle, had died and before his death
had executed an instrument giving his
nephew, who had been named for him,
a farm worth $4,000. The deed was
deposited in Il safety deposit cOmpa-
ny's vault in the city. The key to the
box was at the attorneys office, and
Billy could have it by calling for it the
next day at 3 p. m.
Obtaining leave to go to the city at
the appointed time, Billy put on his
store suit, took a train and in an hour
was in the office Of Cleaver, Cutie 81
Crane. Mr.. Crane received him and
read him the document by which the
farm was conveyed. 1t was very
singular paper. The box at the deposit
company was one usually rented TO
business partners. 1t had a double
combination lock, one-half Of the COM
bination being known to one partner
and the other half to the other, so that
it could only be opened when both were
present. Mr.. Henderson had given
$4,000 in bonds to another person, and,
for the sake of economy, so said the In
strument, had deposited the deed and
the bonds together in one Of these dou-
BILE combination boxes. 1t was speci-
fed that either party should go at the
others call to assist in opening the box.
Mr.. Crane had notified the other party
to be at the deposit company's vaults
at o'clock that day.
This economical arrangement was
certainly very well devised. though MI.
Henderson had not been a money
saver, and it seemed singular that he
should so suddenly have shown such
disposition. Mr.. Crane sent clerk
with Billy to the vaults, and the young
farmer was shown into a parlor and
asked to wait a few minutes. He
spent them wondering what the "other
fellow" looked like-if he were farm
err or city chap. While he was con-
occurring the door opened and the Gus
todian ushered in as pretty a country
girl Of eighteen or Whereabouts as Billy
had ever seen. She was Lucy Miller,
the owner of the bonds.
II will take you two" said the GUS
todian, ito your box and show you the
process of opening it."
Opening several doors composed Of
steel bars and several more Of solid
metal, he took them into a place
where boxes were ranged in profusion.
Turning key in the lock Of their box,
the custodian opened a small, thick
door and exposed a knob. He gave
Billy series Of numbers and showed

Women.

They're saucy and they're tickle, and
They're mighty hard to please.
We have to cater to them all
Upon our Bonded knees
They're Eighty and inquisitive.
Exasperatin', too,
And every man must find 1t out
Somehow before he's through.
They reason with a suddenness
That makes Teller jump.
And they don't. find it hard at all
To make him look a chump.
They cannot give reason for
A single thing they do;
They jump at conclusion with
No valid cause in view
They're fussy, and they're frivolous;
Sometimes it seems that way.
They're tender and they're heartless, and
They're mournful, and they're gay.
They're prudish, and they're reckless. and
In faults they all abound.
They cost lot of money, but
They're nice to have around.

Cold Water For the Ewes.

During the summer when the eyes
are tired by the glare of the sun it is
more than ever necessary to battle
them frequently. Cold water should
be used as a rule, but now and then
an extra ablution should be given to
them by dissolving teaspoonful Of
boracic acid in a teacupful of water.
Cold water strengthens and brightens
the eyes and gives them refreshed
feeling.

Religious WorR

In Japan efforts are afoot to build
up an entirely new religion as means
of Strengthening the administration by
centering the support of all classes Of
the population religiously upon the en-
peror. Former Vice Minister of Edu-
cation lava is said to be the origina-
tor Of the new religion, the central
body of which, according to the Japan
Advertiser, is to be called ''The State
Religious Community of Japan" The
former vice minister Of education ex-
plains his proposal as follows:
1.-THE Japanese empire having been
governed by one imperial family since
the very beginning, the emperor pos
sesses divine right. Such a polity can
hardly be found in any other country.
In China it happens that the emperor
abdicates his throne to be succeeded
by one Of his former subjects. Then,
too, when the German emperor once
spoke Of his divine right he was strong
ly criticised. But in Japan the en-
peror Is the descendant of AInenomi-
nakanu-cht-nO-Kami, the creator of
the world. Hence the imperial family,
being divine race, is entirely different
from the race of japanese.
This ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -Kami
is the only creator Of the world, and he
has existed since the beginning, and
still exists. He is called the emperor
of heaven in China, Buddha in India,
and God in western countries. My
plan is to gather a religious community
around our emperor for the purpose Of
cultivating among It's members loyalty
toward the emperor and Of elevating
their moral ideals
AS to the citizens of other countries,
they are all living under the gracious
protection of the creator Of the world
so that they can become members Of
this religious community If they be-
come subjects of the Japanese en-
peror."
