the giants of the forests about fifteen
years ago by L. Ferdinand Floss of
Latourelle. who made visit every

The trees are said to be several
hundred feet high and to stand on the

MODES OF MIDWINTER

New-Pretty Design for
Velvet Frock.

The best that the season has to

bargains now in the shops II one
knows how to buy and can freshen up

know good clothes, but can never
afford to buy early in the season the
imported frocks which they covet.

gain sales for these purchases.
They usually make a point, too, OF
buying such things as may be made to
do duty all the year around, and that
Is an easy matter in this day when
sheer fabrics are used for winter as
for summer.
Naturally frocks of the kind are not
SO reduced in price as are the regula-
limited, and whose lines may be out
of fashion before another winter: but
one can pick up pretty afternoon
frocks and evening gowns and coats
at great reductions, and though these
may be trihe shopworn. very
little inexpensive freshening will
make them look as well as any frock
would after single wearing. And
one does get the modishness. and.
above all, the line, the cut, which the
frock or coat cheap from the start
does not have.
The velvet costumes and frocks are
among the best of the seasons bar
gains. This winters lines are SO In
dividual, and. in many cases, 30 ex-
IRENE, that holding winter models
over to another season would be haz-
ardous business for the merchant.
Yet women hesitate to buy exclusive
winter models for the same reason
and the prices must be made low
enough to tempt customers into buy
ing for the three-month service still
ahead Both in the small shops and
in the large department stores excel
lent bargains in velvet and velveteen
are offered, and In fur-trimmed gar
ments as well excellent opportunities
are presented at this time.
Buying cloth costumes ct a sale
is an art. One needs to go about 1t
according to a system, and not be led
away by fancy. If one is buying
merely for this winters use, one has
liberty; one buys what Is modish and
becoming and of suitable price. The
very extreme models ars usually the
most reduced for obvious reasons, and
certain type of woman revels in
spectacular effects.
But, as has been Indicated. there
are frocks that are not spectacular

BACK TO METALLIC EFFECTS
Metal Flowers and Fancies Latest Fad
Noticed In Fashions Of
Season.
MA,1 A4~~~

One might have imagined that there
was nothing less likely to happen than
the return to metallic effects. for 1t is
not so very long since they were sur
ficiently in the forefront of fashion to
make their return a most unlikely
forecast. Yet here we are glittering
as much as ever with cloth of gold
for our evening attire, and brocades
richly shot with gold making some of
the most elegant of the toques and
draped hats that are worn on the
street Gold lace Is also a millinery
feature that seems worth mentioning.
and one thing In favor of metallic eff
fects remaining among the more ex-
elusive OF the seasons details Is that
they are chiefly confined to the more
expensive ornaments.
Silver as we'll as gold Is to be seen,
especially in the form of large plain
buckles or of full-grown roses.

TITANIC WIDOWS ASK DAMAGES
Value Of Husbands Range from $4,000
Up to 100000 in Suits Filed.

New York.-Analysis of the numer'
Gus suits which widows have brought
for damages because OF the loss OF
their husbands in the Titanic disaster
brought to light the striking differ
ences in the monetary values that
women placed on their husbands. The
suits ranged from $1,000 to 100000,
the record high figure being that sued
for by Mrs. Henry B. Harris, widow
of the theatrical manager. The ad
miralty lawyer declares that the diff.
ferences in damages sought were due
chiefly to various earning capacities OF
the husbands, taking into considera
ton also the age. The style in which
the wife had been accustomed to live
was also consideration.
