SUIT COAT LENGTHS
Both Long and Short Continue to be
Accepted by Consumers

From the Dry Goods Economist for
September.
The demand for suits has been
very satisfactory according to the re-
ports CLEANED from buyers; in fact.
few have already been Obliged to
return to the market in search of
goods for immediate delivery, as the
initial bills were so small that even
at this early date size assortments
areabadly broken.
A notable feature of the present
demand is the number of inquiries
for suits with short coats; that is to
say, coats ranging in length from
about &c to "a inches. Buyers state
that when they made their first
showing of fall suits-which were
lpractically all knee lengths or long
er-they found some of their GUS
toners were unable to wear these
long suits, while the few short ones
they had in stock we're picked up so
readily it seemed necessary to have a
better assortment Consequently, a
number of requests were sent to
manufacturers to ship out at their
earliest convenience few suits with
short, snappy coats suitable for
small women and young girls.
Long Coat Suits
MANY duplicates on long suits
have been received during the last
fortnight. and retailers are of the
opinion that these long coat suits
will be popular for some time to
come
Last spring the short coat and the
long tunic were suitable only for
young girls; consequently when the
long tunic made its appearance it
was taken up so readily that the
short tunic suit was placed in the
background Experiences Of this kind
are very expensive, both for the re-
taller and for the manufactures, and
therefore the early orders this year
have been small and manufacturers
have been timfd about cutting up
stock.
A seeming factor nowadays against
the acceptance of one particular
style is the fact that the woman who
pays high price for suit. usually
wants something different from what
she sees in cheap garment
While the displays of the dress
making supply houses are not as ex-
tensive as they have been in other
seasons, fair representations of tail
ored suits are being shown; and
these include suits with coats of var
ious lengths, many of which are ex-
tremely long. This indicates that
the long coat suit was considered
very highly by the best Paris cou-
turiers. All of the Fifth avenue
tailors are showing suits of various
lengths, from "a to so inches, and
each tailor recommends that the
customer select the suit that is most
becoming to her, without any consid-
Grafton as to the length of the suit
coat.

and verging on the brink of a complete
nervous breakdown, The vessel is an
chored i'm the Delaware River off the
Philadelphia Navy Yard. She has been
there since early i'm August and dare not
leave this port for fear that she will be

their present condition is a tremendous
strain on his mind lie is inconsola BILE.
Members Of the crew say he sleeps but
little and is constantly talking of his boy
who was captured with the Hamburg-
American line steamship Kronprinzes-
sin Ccrile at the outbreak of hostilities
The boy wrote his father cheerful let
ter which was received on August "a from
Falmouth, England. lie said he was con-
fined in the poor house and was expecting
to be transferred to- a detention camp
BE brave father all will come out
right" he wrote i'm concluding his loving
epistle. lie asked for money with which
to buy food, as he said the food he was
getting was not good,
Captain Mas sent his son money. but
he does not know whether or not he ever

broke into a tirade against those who held
up the letters which conveyed messages
from his family.
MY son, he said Is a bright lad He

He is an apt student and made wonderful
progress in his studies / expected 10

He was choked with grief and could not

Mrs. R. B. Hooking, who has, since taking charge of the opera house, given the public a number Of fine attractions, has again demonstrated her willingness to spare neither trouble nor ex- pense in putting first-class, wholesome entertainments be- fore the public.
 The Edison talking pictures, shown last night, under the di- rection of MT. Foster, were decid- edly an innovation, and the au- dience, which packed the house to overf1owing, was enthusiastic in it's praise of the evenings en- tertainment.
 The music was exceptionally fine and in every way the en- tertainment was a wondrous success. A matinee was given this afternoon.
 So large was the crowd at the initial performance that any trouble in caring for the patrons of the house is being anticipated by special preparations this af- ternoon to provide every com- fort possible for the audience at the evening performance.
