Ladies' Fur Coats

This begins to make us think OF
Fur Coats and warm garments of all
kinds. The line of Fur Coats we are
showing this season are the best we
have ever had.
When we ask you to come in and
see our odd sized Coats, we do not
mean that the size is the only fea.
ture chat should attract your at
tention.
This is a line OF Coats that is
made for service, as well as shape
that fits.
When we buy Fur Coat to sell
to our trade, we demand that the
same shall be made from the best
quality Of Fur. But there are other
features that are just as impor-
tant.
We can buy Fur Coats to sell at
almost any price; but the Coats We
put out must be made in the best
of style and every Coat must be
strong on all seams where any
strain comes. Then they must be
well interlined, as any Fur Coat
that is not interlined in good shape
win not stand the service and strain
they are put to.

Sturdy Swedish Girls.

Bathing in Sweden is a business.
Even the hotel bathrooms are extraor-
dinary-regular suits Of rooms. one for
the bath proper. one for shower baths
Of various sorts and one for a drying
room. wherein you find enormous tc,,sr
els as large as American sheets. The
public baths are luxurious. They are
built around courts where. after the
bath you may have your coffee under
great trees surrounded by beds Of
beautiful flowers. 1t Is apt to bother
Americans n bit to find that the bnth
rubbers for both men and women are
strapping Swedish girls. businesslike
and unabashed. But this is only one
manifestation Of the advanced activi-
ties of woman in Sweden. You find
her occupying all sorts Of positions.
You see her boldly swinging OF street
cars without waiting for them to stop.

Our Ben.

Ben Franklin was a man of might.
or him wo should be mighty proud,
For he went out one stormy night
And snatched the lightning from tho
cloud
What would we do without 1t. pray1
We hitch II to the trolley
And calmly go upon our way
And hardly get n Jolt or Jar.
For many centuries Of time
The lightning was an awful shirk.
Though sometimes II indulged in crime.
1t never did n stroke Of work
Until Ben Franklin came along
And rigged his kite in wondrous style
And said: Now. you are good and strong.
Come down and work for us awhile"
And now 1t makes the wheels go round:
1t has to run the motorcar,
And on the wires underground
1t carries messages afar.
1t bales our hay. 1t chops our meat
And does a lot Of other things.
1t serves us as both hands and feet
And arms and legs and spreading wings.
How could we ever live without
The lightning. 1 would like to know?
l fear we could not get about.
At least the going would be slow.
So here's to Ben. and make It loud,
The grand philosopher and sage!
He snatched the lightning from the cloud
And gave US the electric age.
