LENGTH OF COAT,
GIRLS, UP TO YOU
CloakmakerS' Assn Says
1t Can't Decide Between
Long ard Short.

Having considered the question with
all Of the earnestness 1t deserves, the
executive committee Of the Cloak, Suit
and Skirt Manufacturers Association
decided yesterday that the length of
woman's coat was beyond its ken and
something that the wearer of the coat
would have TO decide for herself. ms
decision may or may not meet with the
approval of those buyers who are IN
New York awaiting an authoritative
pronounccment as to the length OF
coats they should buy.
The United Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Association, trade or
ganization having nothing 70 do with
the Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufac-
turers, decided Wednesday that 1t
would be all right for woman to wear
a short coat in the early season and
long coat in the later season.
The executive committee, which met
Yesterday and upon whose delibera-
tiohs many buyers waited with an
anxiety which might truly be described
as acute. adopted a resolution which
read as follows:
eve believe that the matter OF
lengths is year by year becoming OF
less importance in determining style
individuality of design and adaptaI
billty to the needs of the American
woman Of all grades of society are the
controlling factor. and while TO GER
tain extent Dame Fashion may set up
dominant style for short while, the
existence Of single dominant style
is now impossible in our industry
Many styles, many designs and an
ferent lengths are the order OF the daS'
ain the next place, the style or TO-
day. even if declared by us, would NOT
be the style Of tomorrow. We must
constantly watch for change and meet
with the creative instinct when Is at
once the burden and privilege OF the
New York market. We are uhani-
mouslv OF the conclusion that to make
a decia alton would only be mislead-
ing and would give undue Importance
TO the matter Of length. =,
Which. being interpreted. means tnat
the woman who wears the coat may
suit herself as to it's length.
Lest ANYBODY think that the execu-
tive committee shirked its job OF de-
Gliding whether the short coat or the
long coat il the right coat to wear, the
committee adopted resolution whicn
declared
I'VE are unanimously of opinion that
a very careful examination OF the
Articles Of Association discloses no
expression of authority to regulate
strlos. We considered whether such
regulation could be enforced by mutual
understanding. We are Unanimously
of the opinion that it could not, ana
that it would be undesirable to attempt
such a plar."
sons that is a future story. Inc COM
mittee went on record as saying;
"As to future seasons we shall give
our hest thought 10 the subject ana
viii consider carefully every sugges-
ton that seems at all promising or
practicable"
4 member of the styles committee OF
,bo association issued statement IN
which he said that in his opinion the
long coat will be preferred for the fall
of ioll. ,nasmuch as other members
nrefer the short coat 1t looks very
,nncb az if. as hereinbefore stated, the
woman who wears the coat will be the
custodian Of the last guess as REGARDS
it's length.

REEREShMENT.

When we reach the place where a
measure of happiness Is, we must net
overpass it, thinking we shall some
day return in fuller leisure. We shall
not pass this way again, and If we
did we could not find that hidden
place. Nor must we hasten on with
hot desire, deeming we shall reach
some other spot of more satisfying
happiness further down the way. We
may reach that place at the beginning
of the journey, while we are stin keen
for the quest, or 1t may be after tell.
some years. But whenever be the
time, it behooves US to pause and con.
slider well the spot. One 1nds cloistral
retreat and place of happiness in art
or research, ill-rewarded. unacclaimed; ;
in perfecting knowledge; in achieving
beauty. Another finds 1t In one wom'
an. Happiness is found in the home,
in devotion to purposes larger than the
individual life, wherever there is space
for the heart to overspread other lives.
There is refreshment in the majesty
and tenderness of the natural world
in the turbulence of the sea, the rapid
light touching the waves, in the plenty
of autumnal harvests, in the calm OF
infinite hills.-Coller's

sHAkE-Ue IN BALL TEAM.

The lineup Of the Gerat Bend bal
team has been changed considerably
this week through a trade with Hutch
Mson. In the deal we swapped
Pitcher Riley, Shortst0p FairchiM and
0utfielder Farel, for Pitcher O'Byme
Shotstop Chase and Blue, a utility
man. It seems that the men on both
teams that were traded were dissatis-
fled and therefore were not doing
the work they ought to. The chief
reger among the Great Bend fans
seems to be over the loss OF Farrell
who seems to give hoonest service at
adj times. This viii undoubtedly
strengthen the Great Bend pitching
staff and it is hoped viii give better
satisfaction and therefore better re-
suits all around.
