that there is real pleasure in contem-
plating this array of coats and mul-
Aers which make so fine show on
every available counter.
Fashion has developed here with an
amazing rapidity. For it is but three
or four years ago that no choice was
TO be found outside the range OF KNIT
ted coats. But this season a coat or
this type is no longer modish. Prob
ably it will still attract the serious
spdrtswoman who, having in other
wears tested it and discovered its mer-
it's. is too conservative to be tempted
by the new.
But more will be tempted by the
many novel ideas in color and design
which are carried out in pure silk, In
silk woven with wool, and In pure
cashmere. For not only are these
pretty and becoming but they leno
themselves to so vast a variety tha'
a woman may indulge an individual
taste in a way which hitherto has
been quite impossible in an outfit o.
this kind.

Cecil Rhodes used to take coop
of hens on board to provide fresh eggs
on his numerous voyages between
England and South Africa. But those
were three weeks journeys, and not
a mere five-day crossing of the Allan

African parsonage was asked why he
did not follow Rhodes's example and
provide himself with the luxury of
newlaid eggs at sea. "Oh. | don
