narrow band Of the silk about three
inches long. This band supports the
plaitings Of fine net or ~all-over lace
which is sewed to 1t. This ruf1e is
edged with a plating of lace at the
bottom, made of edging three inches
wide. The rufle of allover lace is a
little less than six inches deep, and
the lace plating is set on at the ex-
treme edge making the jabot between
eight and q half and nine inches in
depth.
Shadow lace is selected for the ia.
bot in either deep ream or butter-col-
or. AS a finishing touch the small
est rhinestone buttons, set in black
enamel, are used on the lower points
of the triangular pieces.
The combination Of lace and black
silk Is not the only one in which this
pretty surprise can be developed
with pleasing results. The lavender
and purple tones and certain shades
Of green and brown with cream or but
ter-colored lace make jabots suitable
to older women and quite a. effective
as black and white.

~ NE of those pretty outer garments

meuse or other soft and supple fabric)
of which s. many styles are worn, Is
Just the thing for wear during autumn.
Indian summer days are too warm for
heavier wraps and too cool for none
at all. The plain coats with tailored
suits are always practical, but by way
Of variety and to be a little more
dressed up a coat like that pictured
here is a pleasant change.
The liking for mole-skin gray or
"taupe" color as it is generally called
has brought out a great number Of
these coats developed In supple. ma
terials in taupe. In some of them
the figures are In raised velvets.
There are, of course, very rich and
they are expensive.

kimona sleeve. A heavy cord covered
with the fabric is used for embellish.
ing the coat and accentuating certain
lines in it. They keep it shapely.
Without them the coat would not hang
well. As in the present styles it is the
hanging and not the fitting which Is
Of paramount importance, such cords,
or something to take their place in
providing weight, is necessary in
making up the elm ging and light
weight materials.
This little coat is provided with a
plain sailor collar in the same mate
rial as the body of the coat. At the
front fastening two shirred puffs are
placed, one at each side. They are
made by stirring two strips Of the
material, leaving a rufle about a half
inch wide at each side Of the puff.
To protect both the coat and the
neck Of the wearer, a little plating
Of fine net Is worn. The net Is plain
and knife-plaited. Nearly every gar
ment to be worn during the coming
season, including coats, plush and fur
neckpieces, waists and dresses, is pro-
vided with a washable plating. Wo-

men will appreciate this. for furs b.
come soiled or the dye in them rubs
Off and it Is impossible to keep the
neck clean without q protection Of
some sort.
Fine, washable laces are used for
this purpose, especially in gowns, and
are wired at the back to keep them
outstanding.
This coat fastens with small hooks
and eyes at the front. 1t slants away
from the bust line.
The small hat worn with it Is of
brilliant corded silk in the same color.
1t has a dropping brim with puff Of
velvet about 1t. A Numidi feather in
the natural color is mounted in rather
eccentric fashion at the back. 1t may
be placed at the front and be equally
fashionable, for those who would like
1t better there.
A wreath Of tiny velvet roses is
placed about the crown, with velvet
foliage. The corded silk is laid in
plaits about the crown, and the raw
edge turned under. The rose-wreath
defines the line at which the crown
and brim meet.
This hat Is made on a lightweight
Buckram frame. 1t is one of the hats
which the home milliner may under
take and accomplish successfully. A
fabric like that in the coat, or match
ing it. may be used over the crown,
instead of the corded silk.
AS the weather grows colder this
coat may be used by wearing a warm
jacket under it and a fur or plush
n~eckpiece with it. The hat is suitable
for the entire season. 1t would be a
pretty development to make a muff
matching the hat, using the same vel
vet and silk, as there is a fancy for
odd neckpieces worn with hats and
muffs that match.
No one should face cold weather
without a muff Of some sort, or wait
until the last moment to make one.

Secretary Daniels has suggested to
Admiral Howard that he decline the

was elected last Thursday. and in
formed him that the song Damn,

was sung at the banquet, would never

larly displeased over the travesty on
the administration peace policy and
criticisms aimed at Secretary Bryan
when three six-foot models of battle
ships, borne by concealed boys, were
carried into the banquet room. In the
muzzle of the guns were stuck nose
gays, and the milk-white dove was
perched on each fighting top. They
were named the "U. S. s. Fellowship"
"U. s. s. Friendship" and "U. s. s.

The performance, according to ad.

They's a feel in the Christmas air goes right
To the spot where a man lives at!
1t gives a feller appetite
They amt no doubt about that!
And yit they's somepin-l don't know What-
That follers me here and there
And hants and worries and spares me nor

They's a feel. as say. in the air that's jest
AS blamed-on sad as sweet
In the same ra-sho as feel the best
And am the spryest on my feet
They's allus kind o sort of ache
That l can't locate nowhere.
But it comes with Christmas. and no mistake
A kind o. feel in the air.
Is it the racket the children raise?
Why. no!-Cod bless 'em. no!
Is it the eyes and the cheeks ablaze.

terian church of this city, who disap
peared Thanksgiving day, is alive in
New York City. Since the minister
has been missing a countrywide
search has been made to locate him.
The opinion that Mr.. Vandermeer
is alive is based upon information re-
ceived here stating that Miss Pear,
Komp of Chicago has recently ro-
ceived letter from him which was
mailed in New York City.
1t is not definitely known here Why
the minister left the city. 1t is said
that Mr.. Vandermeer and Miss Kemp
were expecting to be married soon.
