COAT DESIGNED FOR FALL
Distinctive in Shape, and Calls for
Much More Distinct Outline Of
the Figure.

The first striking novelty is a long
coat, tight fitting and calling for a
more defined figure than we have in
dulged in for some years past Below
the waist it widens into full skirts, like
the old redingote, and the skirts have
sometimes a shaped flounce to give
them even greater fullness. 1t fastens
right up to the throat in front, and
from the waist downward it opens and
falls away at either side. This is the
type of coat that will presage the au.

ARTISTIC WORK WITH NEEDLE
Raised Effects Just Now Are Easily
the Most Popular Of the
Various Designs.

For some time there has been OBJ
servable in needlework a decided ten
dency toward raised effects. First
we had the loop embroidery, and then
the exquisite results obtained with
French ribbon work.
Now we have that beautiful English
art silk known as guayona, a rather
heavy silk, with which a raised flower
can be formed with more ease than
with an ordinary silk.
Another fancy of the autumn is the
German knot stitch, by means OF
which the most compact and lifelike
little buds may be formed without
the necessity for any padding what
ever.
English art work is still another fad
that has seized upon US for the mo-
meRt. This form Of needlework pro-
duces full and thick rambler roses and

FOR A DURABLE BUTTONHoLE
Suggestions Worth While Where Il 10

That ls Heavy.

To work a durable bhttonhole in
heavy material such as linen, duck OF
madras, mark with thread the place
and size with a row of machine stitch
ing on both sides as close as possible
then cut with a pair of sharp scissors
and work in the usual way.
Not only does this help in wearing
but is very much easier to work and
does not need fine stitches. In sewing
on buttons in goods that have a great
deal of wear, try sewing them on by
placing a toothpick under the button
and then sewing in the usual way, be

The barber OF the Atlantic liner
Minnetonka finds a new and protita
Bile pastime in catching wandering
birds during the vessels voyage across
the ocean-his profit arising from the
selling of the birds on his arrival in

he says, and he finds a ready sale for
many of the rarer specimens.
His chief assistant in capturing the
birds is a whistling brown linnet,
which lures the wanderers aboard

in the long past for one Morton Ross,

glorious fruit for aye!
With the removal of his mortal
part the next day, the spirit of Roscoe
Phail seemed to float from the old
environment. 1t was a flight to the
stars, a grope beneath vast ocean
depths, now in the holy silence of
some dense African forest never in
vaded by the foot of man, again on
the mountain tops of some lofty
Himaiayf range; unhampered, time,
space, distance annihilated, his ego
wandered. In the great broad sense
of divinity the world lay before him
a mere midget of the universe Cities
were as ant hills, events panoramic.
And then, the newness of illimit-
able omnipresence wearing away, a
great longing came to him. Material
things were as nothing now. not even
love The spirit seemed to crave for
some high pure ideal where the soul
could be fed and satisfied There
came a keen mental analysis. What
had been his earthly life's greatest
boon? And, thinking of the goodness
of heaven, the strong contrast of his
latter life, purified as by fire, his an
swer was speedy-"Joy."
So it came to his soul that as one
man might have the predominating
spirit of peace, another of hope, an
other of faith, with him full souled
JOY had wrought out a blessed meas

his creed had run. 81 love every
body!" and he had lived out the SEN
timent and had been happy.
Joy, an essence, an inspiration, an
expression of gratitude-it was as
much an entity, as sunshine, or the
perfume of flowers, as the rare in.
fiuence of music, All found abiding
places in some souls craving the
guest. Where could joy discover
sure dwelling place?
In the palace of kings where power
and luxury prevailed the seeking
spirit sought a nome Alas! power
was fieeting, wealth a canker. In
lower social grades there were only
selfish desires, vanity duplicity.
There were peaceful and striving
hearts afame with the zeal of re-
iigtous fervor, it was true, but these
already had their meet guest.
At the end of a week of wandering
the ego of Roscoe Phall hovered over
an isolated island amid a dismal
ocean solitude. At one end was
cluster of small but pleasantly en-
Vironed huts. Directly within his
view where patch of glowing green
cry showed. arrayed In a plain coarse
dress was a young girl.

NEVER NEEDS TO BE WOUND
This Clock Runs Until Metal Parts
That Constitute Its Works Are
Worn Out.

Clocks that tell the time with only
one hand are something of a novelty
but they cannot compare with a re.
Gently invented clock which never
needs winding. 1t will run forever-or
at least until its metal parts wear out.
This sounds like the old fallacy of
perpetual motion, but as a matter of
fact is far from IT, The new clock
runs by using in an ingenious way the
energy produced by changes in tenn
perature.
Metal bars, which are very sensitive
to temperature changes, are arranged
in such a manner that when the mer-
curry falls and the bars contract this
slight motion of the metal is fully used
When the thermometer goes up and
the bars expand slightly, the motion
involved in their lengthening is also
made to do work.
The motion from the bars lifts tiny
steel balls from lower reservoir to an
upper one. There they are made to
turn a wheel in much the same way
that water turns an old-fashioned
water wheel.
The energy resulting from the ex-
pansion and contraction of metal as
the temperature changes can be used
only to operate mechanism like that of
clocks and watches, which requires
only a small amount of power 1t is
too expensive to be used where much
power is required
Somebody with a fondness for math-
ematics has estimated that to gen.
crate single horse power in this way
would cost nearly fifty million dol
lars.
