A Season of selyedges.

The French couturiers introduced the
use Of breadths OF rich silk and cloth
with unhemned edges They first saw
the beauty Of selvedges and they realized
that the selvedge blended more grace
fully with the line of the costume than
does the hemmed edge.
American dressmakers followei in the
wake OF the French couturiers and now
there is great demand for silks and
cloth that can be used without turning
the selvedges. But early last summer
when the American importers sent in
their orders for this falPs fabrics they
did not know that this was to be a sea-
son of selvedges. So 1t was that a certain
New York importer. who handles large
quantities OF broadcloth every season,
gave his order 10 certain English wool
en- mill for a consignment Of black broad
cloth with the usual red line in the sell
wedge.
About the middle of August, the
vogue for selvedge edges had come to
the front and then the importer real
lied that the order for the broadcloth
with the red selvedge would have 70 be
changed. So he cabled across TO Eng
land as follows: "omit red selvedge."
But the war had begun and the cen
sorship of cables was in operation. This
particular importer had had no trouble
with the other cables he had sent to his
manufacturers In Europe. But this cable
was different Toe the masculine mind
OF the cable censor selvedge looked for
an the world like salvage and Of course
salvage was suggestive Of war. Then, too,
the word red was not a peaceful sound
ing word. On the whole the cablegram
looked pretty suspicious And SO the CEN
sor turned 1t down. No amount Of expIa-
nation on the part OF the importer chang
ed his decision and as the use or codes
was forbidden on account Of the war the
importer had TO let the consignment Of
broadcloth come In as It was frst or

FAMOUS
WOMAN

November s-Ida N. TarbsII, Duchess
De Berry.
ICnrlIIlrhf ~

fCopyTisht Isl4)
One OF the most charming women ever
born on November was Caroline Fer
dinande Louise De Bourbon, the duchess
Of De Berry. She was born in I7sS, the
daughter Of Ferdinand, King OF the two
Sicilies. and spent her girIhood in Naples
When she was eighteen she was married
to the Duke De Berry. He was a MEM
Der OF the old Bourbon royal family OF
France, and after the French revolution
had spent the days of his exile in Eng
land. There he married an English wife
whom. when he wanted to marry the
charming Caroline. he repudiated. In
spite Of this questionable action on the
dukes part his married life with the
beautiful Caroline proved to be very
happy.
In Paris the duchess proved to be ex-
ceedingly popular. Her youth. her gaiety
and her wit attracted all Partisan So
ciety to her. She was a patroness OF
the arts and delighted in all the. gaieties
OF the court She never tired OF balls
and concerts and seemed to be never
happier than when in the midst Of court
activities Four years after her mar
rage when she was only twenty-five she

warning an assassin fell upon the duke
and gave him his death blow. The young
duchess. overcome with grief as she was.
took the stricken duke n her arms and
refused to be separated from him for
the short time that he lived. II was
seven months after this that the heir
to the duke was born. He became well
known later as the Duke De chambord,
owing to his Legitimist claims to the
throne OF France. He was sometimes
known as Henry W. though. OF course,
he never became king. The duchess De
Berry was his most able and active sup
porter in his claims for this honor.
Two women known to the literary
world Of America were also born on No
vember 5. These are Ella Wheeler VII
cox, a native Of Wisconsin. and Ida
Minerva Tarbel, of Pennsylvania Mrs.
Wilcox gained her first distinction
the publication OF Poems Of
Passion" which called forth some seri-
Gus admiration and much sarcastic dis
approval In spite Of her many critics
she has continued to be ranked among
the most popular Of American verse
writer's.
Miss Tarbel's chief work has been as
an editor. but il is because of her Ills
tory OF the Standard Oil Company" that
she has gained her countrywide distinc-
ton as a writer upon economic and busi-
ness problems.

Copyright, lsH.I
Jupiter is in benefic aspect today, while
Venus is strongly adverse.
AstroIogers read this as a day in which
1t is wise TO push all business enter
prises. Speculation Is under a most aus
picious rule. Great fortunes are fore
shadowed for those who are wise in
investment.
There is a sign held to be particularly
favorable for all persons Of Hebrew de-
scent. 1t is foretold that they viii at
tain extraordinary power in certain coun-
tries OF Europe. Honor and fame are
predicted for a man of extraordinary con-
structive and executive ability.
Among those who should profit by to-
days configuration are cardinals, bishops.
priests and other clergymen concerned
with large responsibilities The death OF
high dignitary is indicated by the
stars.
Under this aspect clothiers and all who
deal in woolen goods should profit There
will be great gain for all who manu-
facture black materials but there is an
omen read as presaging a great demand
for brilliant colors as q relief from
mourning.
This is an unfavorable government for
women. They will meet many dlficul-
ties in business and social life in the
coming six months. They will achieve
important service to humanity, however,
and gain places in new fields of en-
deavor.
Theaters and places Of amusement may
have discouraging conditions for some
time. the seers say. but they have the
promise of large returns before the end
Of the season, which will be memorable
for a number Of extraordinary plays.
Warning is given again against the
danger Of pestilence in this country.
Smallpox and other contagious diseases
are prognosticated Children should be
guarded with the utmost care.
Dramatists and writers OF fiction are
forewarned OF a period of depression and
disbursement, but they have the prog
nostication of better conditions within a
year.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the
augury of a fairly prosperous year, but
disappointment in love or in domestic
affairs Is probable. Travel and change
that win bring good luck are likely.
Children born on this day may be de-
cidedly fortunate In life. An inclination
to be careless in dress may be character
istic. Love of company and amusement
are often traits OF these subjects OF

pet its entire cost is not reached

This is probably the only store in
Washington where you may know
exactly what this entire cost will be
at the time you buy.
Here you will find the price per
yard marked in plain figures, and
that price covers every penny of
cost.
Our service covers the making,
the furnishing of Innings, and the
laying absolutely free. Your floors

OilelothS are also laid without ex-
ira cost, and being laid properly
by our men adds many months to
their wear.
