New York, Oct. 1O.-Fuller skirts
have arrived! Many Of the dress
makers modify them by having an un'
derskirt beneath which is as tight as
of yore, others are side pleated, hav'
ing yoke effects at the top to lessen
the fulness around the waist.
Coats are made with skirts which
are pleated or cut circular, reaching
often to the bottom of the dresses. A
stunning model in seal brown duve'
tyne is trimmed with silk cord EN-
broidery. The coat is long in front
with a wide belt, or yoke, from which
the skirt is hung. The skirt is pleated

In the back the coat reaches quite

MERCY HOSPITALS
100000 ADDITION OPEN

Des Moines, Oct. 10.-Twenty years
ago a little band of Sisters from Du-
buque came to this city and in the
dead of winter rented the old Sherman
home on Woodland avenue, now
known as the Hoyt Sherman place. In
it was established a hospital with one
ward and two rooms.
Last night a celebration was held
in a structure containing $50 rooms
and erected at a cost of hundreds of
thousands of dollars-an institution
which ministers to the ills of thou
sands yearly. Such in brief is, the his
tory of Mercy hospital as summed up
by speakers at the banquet which
closed the dedicatory services of the
new 100000 addition last evening.
1t was indeed a fitting tribute to the
untiring labor and devotion of Sister
Mary Philomena whose life has been
given to the u%pbuilding of the hospital
that DR.. J. T. Priestley, the toastmas-
ter, should present her with an auto
mobile as a gift from the medical staff
and the business men of Des Moines.
In connection with the celebration
of the opening of the new wing, the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the sister
hood of Sister Mary Philomena was
fitting observed. An eloquent tribute
was paid her by Judge Marcus Kav-
anagh of Chicago, who emphasized
that she had left a home Of luxury to
minister to the suffering and needy.
Bishop Bowling added his word of
praise for the noble work of the sis
tiers and the institution which stands
as a memorial to the efforts.
Father Flavin in an address on
"Reminiscences recalled the old days
when it was a disgrace to go to the
hospital; when such a place was
thought to be for only the poor and
itinerant. He also reminded the as
sembled guests that DR.. Priestley was
postmaster at the first hospital ban
quet in 1894 when the first structure
was completed on the present site.
High tribute was paid to the name
of Jefferson S. Polk who was ever a
generous friend of Mercy hospital.
The gift of the Polk family which
made possible the installation of two
wards for the free care of the needy
sick of the city in the new wing of the
hospital, called forth the warmest
commentator. Harry Polk who re-
sponded to the toast, "The Hospital
explained that the family home was
sold to Bishop Bowling with the end
in view of providing a perpetual me-
mortal to Mr.. and Mrs. Polk, and that
the free wards were endowed with
that end in view.
Other speakers of the evening were
Harvey Ingham, DR.. Thomas Duhigg,
Hal S. Ray, Pleas J. Mills and F. w.
Sergeant.
During the banquet and the pro
gram following Edward Quinn Of Chi.
cago, a cousin of Sister Philomena,
sang several solos, accompanied by
Miss Mayme Richard.

CO.. TO
HAVE O COURSE

Centerville, Oct. 10.-A movement IS
on foot to put in a short course in
Centerville this winter. Paul G.. Taft,
of Ames, has been in the city and an
interest is being shown in the promo
ton of the project. One of the best
farm tours made by the Ames team
last summer was in this county. This
is one of the best organized counties
in Iowa for farmers Institutes, having
one at Moulton, Moravia, Exline, Mys-
tic and Iconium, the latter two being
new this year. The one at Centerville
was dropped to give way to a county
fair, and the fair project then fell
through for this year. The short
course will be financed here by a pre-
liminary sale of tickets, and if this is
successful it will be held.
