home to follow the calling of the sea
and afterward was lured to California
with the discovery of gold, and the hard
ships experienced until his life's work
was hailed as the greatest work on
political science of modern times, were
pictured by Representative Henry George,
jr., son Of the author of Progress and
Poverty" He told OF the experiences
that had caused his father to see the
light" and OF his sincere belief that
his teachings were the truth.

Distinctive NeW Style Notes
Seen in the Nep Fall Skirts.

Among the most prominent new features of
the Skirts in this early preseason showing are
the triple founces and the graceful drapings.
These notes exempIfy the fact that the styles
of the past season are again to be in vogue, but
in more pronounced form. The founces and
drapings have the effect of producing the slight
out-curve below the waist line, which is to be
one of the strongest fashion points.
New Scotch Plaids, in a variety of designs
and the smart and wonderfully original color
schemes which the weavers of these materials
are always able to produce.
New Blue and Black Serges of the best quail
ity.
New Fancy Weaves and Novelty Cloths in
splendid variety.
Plain tailored as we'll as .dressy styles are
shown, and they run the whole gamut of fash
ion, from the practical to the extreme; priced
from $675 to $500 each.
