Gold thieves made a wholesale haul

In each instance an entrance was
effected to the Offices by the use of a
jimmy, which was used to force the
locks of the outer doors. In the Of
fee OF b. II. Sherrard, on the fourth
floor, the gold and platinum was stored
in big cabinet case which was IN

At. DR.. Mueller's office, the thieves
started to jimmy the cabinet, but for

If you would get bargain you must
know how to tell a bargain when you

chandise of any sort has been marked
down to half price is a tempting one.

with q certainty that you can use it in

There are some real bargains for
which the economical shopper should
keep her eyes open. Often some sudden
some article of wearing apparel that is

Belt and Silhouette.

The latest eGict is tina. the outline of
the fashicnably dressed woman shall, be
as nearly straight up and down as may
be possible, chest Nat, no waist and as
little hip as may be at the sides. II
agreement with this, the belt is worn
some four inches below the waist and is
SO placed upon the newest autumn coats.
Many are in patent leather. The belt is
sometimes lower at the back than in
front, sometimes the reverse. The former
position is more favorable to the for
ward movement of the lines o. dress
below the waist. Kid belts in all the
rich tones of Cordovan leather are worn
with gowns Of any color. or with coats
in black, white or colored cloth or broche.
There never has been greater freedom
of choice than at present, and the world
of fashion IS not ntggardly in awaiting
itself of this.

BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

1t is about this time of the year that a
woman thinks of the furs she wants to
buy Even if she possesses good peltry it
may have to be reshaped and this is not
an easy task. ......,,....
There was a time when a piece of sable,
d good set of chinchilla, muf or collar
of mink were considered as heirloom and
handed down and worn until the Wearer
died, or the fur fell off. But We live in
changing times in fashions and the ma
jority of women find they must buy new
fur or alter what they have if they
would even be a first cousin to fashion.
The value and prestige of precious furs
remains the same throughout the chang
ing styles, but the shape in which they
were originally cut rarely serves for more
than two seasons at the best. Ermine
sable. chinchilla are valuable as long as
there is an inch left, but the small muH
is far cry from the barrel of today and
the circular cape is like a hoopskirt.
Even as one writes these comparisons
there is a flashing memory of new muffs
and shoulder pieces that strongly resem-
BILE both these fashions of our ancestors;
but it is doubtful if any woman, counting
on this. could bring out the contents OF
the attic and wear them without causing
unfavorable comment.
New things may take the shape of old
things, and Yet there is something here
or there, in ripple, or a line, or a pleat
that makes all the difference in the world
The designers are too canny to allow the
fashions of one epoch to be worn in an
other epoch: or it may be that women
feel the difference and will not dare to
resurrect the old in it's original state.
All of this puts money into the Golfers
of the furrier. and it unsettles woman's
mind in deciding whether she will go to
the expense of reshaping handsome peltry
that she has. indulge in a financial
spree by buying new pieces. That is a
question as old as Eve and the trouble is
that no matter which way a woman
chooses she will wish she had done the
other.
Many Coats of Fur.
While shoulder pieces are Worn and
probably will be until the end OF time, or
rather until beasts are exterminated, the
short, loose coat is the fashion of the day.
1t is not as serviceable as the shoulder
piece, for there are many days when it
is too warm to wear, and it is a luxury
more than a necessity. And yet it is
popular.
Soft broadtail is the favorite peltry, be-
cause its glossy blackness suits the ma
jorlty of costumes and is becoming to the
majority of women. There are other
short coats of semi-precious furs, but they
are not as graceful as the brOadtail. One
can make use out OF such a garment at
all hours of the day and evening, which is
one economy, and 1t can supply the place
of coat suit 1t is cut on loose lines, Is
slightly draped at the hips is fastened to
the neck and ends in high turnover

FACTS ABOUT NEW FURS

ends. These scarfs are deep enough to
act as kind of cape around the Shout
ders and one end is often thrown over
| the shoulder in Spanish fashion
There are few shapes between this vo-
luminous scarf and the tight wide collar
that fastens around the neck and Is fin
ished with a fanciful bow at the side.
The woman who cannot afford the former
is quite safe in choosing the latter, be-
cause the coats of today fasten to the
collarbone and do not allow any exposure
Of the chest. 1t is probably this fashion
that has brought about the revival of the
dog collar of fur.
These smart collars were brought out In
Paris in August. made in combination
of plain and dyed fur Raccoon and
opossum were the furs used, with mid
die strip of bright colored fox. This lat
ter fur, you remember. was the fad of the
day in midsummer and the fashion for it
has not died down yet. The fastidiouS
woman would not care to wear red,
green or purple fox on the street, but
any one would like dog collar of rae
coon, fisher or skunk with a middle band
of broadtail ermine sable. The eco
nomical woman will at once see her
chance to make a fashionable neckpiece
from any odds and ends of fur she may
happen to have.
The Barrel Muffs.
1t is not easy to put the finger on any
one shape in muffs and say it is more
fashionable than any other. Some Of the
French designers brought out huge, cir
cuar affairs that looked as though one
had taken the best stuffed cushion off the
drawing room sofa and swung it about the
neck by a bride. These are made of
satin and fur, the former used in wide
puff at the edge. The bride is of narrow
fur, goes around the neck, and is long
enough to let the muff drop well below
the waist. Somehow the old fashion of
carrying muff above the waist is never
revived.
There is another muff, shaped like a
barrel with small ends. There are others
that are torpedo shaped. and again tiny
little ones that just hold the hands. and
no more.
The newest invention of all is to carry
the muff on the sleeves. This is an ex-
travagance but it is clever. The cuffs
are immensely large and loose and they
are so shaped that when the hands are
slipped in them-each hand, that is. in
the opposite sleeve-the shape is that of
q large muff.
