The habitues of a fashionable coun- try club used to believe that a black or an undyed pony coat was the only wrap necessary for cold weather sports. That was what the average well-to-do, not to say wealthy, young matron appeared in, and she seemed to feel very satisfied with her ap- pearance. Debutantes and younger girls wore white coney ulsters, and, they also were complacent
 In those days not much attention was devoted to artistic-looking winter sporting wraps, but the craze for do- ing fancy dances on the ice has brought into vogue a desire for fur coats, which, if not really fanciful, at least express individuality of taste.
 KOlinSky Fur Coat with Ivory Buttons.
 One of the first matrons to look with distaste upon her black ponyskin sports ulster has discarded that prac tical garment for a wrap which shows her skirt. She rather brides herself upon pair of trim ankles, and her London-tailOred sports skirt of wOr- sted mixture displays them modestIy. Although moderately wide, that skirt looks narrow by comparison with a Kolinsky fur coat hanging loosely from the shoulders almost to the knees. From the waist line it acquires flare at so alarming a rate that one wonders what it's width would have been about the ankles had it extend ed that far. Exaggeratedly large disk buttons of ivorylik e composition fasten the diagonally closed fronts of the coat. But of these buttons only three are used-one at the knees, a second at the hips and a third below the throat, which is protected by coachman's collar. Cuffs are turned back half way to the elbows on spa cious sleeves. The hands are kept warm by a rush-fringe-tr trimmed huff of moderate size, and a flat turban of fur carries on the front of it's low, round brim an Oriental cabochon of tiny colored beads.
 Loose of fit--in fact, not fitting at all, but less flaring than the Kolin- sky wrap-1s a three-quarter sports coat of black caracul. This model, trifle shorter at front center than at sides and back, fastens blindly.. It gains tone relief from the bands of fitch trimming the wrists of it's wide sleeves and edging it's high standing collar. Nevertheless the dusky fur

lists are following the colors in their respective countries. Zimbalist ar rived some time ago and in addition to the joint tournee he will make with Alma Glucl1. the violinist is to appear as solist with the principal orches- tras and play under the auspices of many clubs and other musical organ izatiOns.
 When Zimbalist was a small boy, his father, conductor of an OrcheS- tra, used to take the lad to rehearsals, but the father refused 10 permit his boy to take lessons until he was seven; at that age. Efrem was presented with his first violin, and after q few years his teachers declared that the child actually knew more about music than they did" His talents were nothing less than extraordinary; intuitively, he absorbed information from every side. Later, as it is gener ally known now, Zimbalist was ac- ccpted as pupil of Professor Auer of st. Petersburg, and in the course of a short while became one of the taN- Orite pupils of the master. No young man ever entered the ConserVatoire in the Czar's capital under brighter auspices, and on his first examination, he was awarded the gold medal and 1 1,200 rubles. Small wonder, the Rus sian government forever exempted Zim balist from military duty. Zimb bal ist will appear with Alma Gluck the great Operatic star in the World Fa- l nous Artists Series. Tickets now at l Pierce's Music Store.

|, makes a fetching frame for delicate ly fair face, which is further set off by black velvet hat. That sports chapeau has the narrowest of brims, slightly rolled at the left side against a broad band of fitch, which, at the right side, is bit depressed by 8 cluster of Christmas roses.
 White Coney Coat Has Disappeared.
 Because the white coney coat has disappeared from fashionable country club skating ponds and toboggan slides, those playgrounds of the ener- getic rich are not patronized nowa- days by girls enveloped in sombre- hued furs. The smartest of sports coats is a youthful looking affair of Hamster pelt. Long enough to con- ceal the frock worn beneath 1.-the frock of white corduroy or of heavy white linen-it has f1aring skirt DOT tion which about the hips is repressed by the broadest of girdles.
 Broad though that belt is, 1t is heightened by a fringe of monkey fur, the only trimming on the gar ment because wherever its stripes run in a contrary direction they fur nish sufficient garnishing. They are horizontally placed in the belt, in the cuffs turned back upon moderately wide sleeves, and in the narrow col lar, rolling high about the throat. As Hamster does not work into an ar tistic looking sports hat, the turban designed for wear with this model carries a band of bear which is part ly overlapped by black velvet Tam crown.
 Made Entirely of Pelts.
 In the household where expense need not be considered will nearly all ways be found the sports suit made entirely of belts. Naturally the most flexible of skins must be chosen, and among these Hudson Bay seal and broadtail rank supreme. The skirt of a model suit, which is equally good in seal or broadtail, is made with mar row gores which start at the waist. They end at the ankles under a broad band of fluffy fur-skunk, fitch or bear. The coat contributes it's quota toward the production of the new pro- file.
 Single breasted and closing blind1y from throat to knees under a band of fluffy fur, the coat shows that ten dency to fit the figure which distn- guishes so many of those designed solely for city use.

FIRE SWEEPS
 ALEXIS BLOCK Thrilling Rescues of Women and Children Are
 Made. DAMAGES ABOUT $10.000

Harry Alex Owner of Block and Fur
 nit,Ire Store, Recently Bankrupt-
 Store Had Been Closed But Three
 Weeks Under Northumberland
 itOrs Met Yesterday.
 A sensational fire, in which several women and children were rescued from suffocation by the police and firemen, broke out shortly after 11:30 last night in the toilet on the second floor of Harry Alex's block on Main street. There is little doubt but that the damage will exceed $1O,000, for the flames started in a place, such that in order to extinguish them, it was necessary to pour gallons of water into AleX's furniture store. The res- cue of the weeping children and hys- terical women made the fire specta- ular to watch. There was an unus- ually small crowd in attendance.
 The flames rapidly gained headway famed by a draught from an adja- cent air shaft, and swirled from one side to the other skipping up into the garrett, where the firemen succeeded in stopping them. Smoke poured from the upper windows of the building in great quantities.
 An inspection of the building this morning, showed that extensive dam age had been done by water. In the toilet on the second floor the gas pipe had been melted, so that all that re- mained was fiat streak of lead on the floor. Much of the furniture in the furniture store was utterly ruined, al- though Chief Dame said that he be- lieved that much of it could be sal vaged.

days motoring, an afternoon on the
tennis ground or golf links, a sunbath
on the beach or exposure on sea trip
often brings on n deep tan or vivid

orous crop of freckles. A very neces-
sary thing then is mercollzed wax,
which removes tan, redness or freckles
quite easily. II literally peels off the
affected slSin-iust little at time. so
there's no hurt or injury. As the skin
comes off IN almost Invisible f.aky par
ticles. no trace Of the treatment Is
shown. Get an ounce of mercolized wax
at your druggists and use this nightly
as you would cod cream, washing it off
mornings, In week or so you will
have an entirely new skin, beautifully
clear. transparent and of a most deli
cate whiteness

FALSE PRETENSES

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept lil.-ln a
speech today before the United AS
sociation of postoffce clerks, in con
vention here, Congressman G. II.
Randall, of California, once railway
mail clerk, charged that the railroads
of the country were defrauding the
government in the matter Of pay
nent for handling of mails.
Il undertake to say" he said that
the government has been robbed OF
hundreds of millions of dollars by oy-
er charge and downright fraud on the
part of the railways. Yet the country
is literally flooded with literature
and inspired editorials which attempt
to prove that the postoffice depart
ment is treating the railways in
liggardly fashion,
Mr.. Randall said the question Of
railway mail payments would be an
important issue at the coming ses-
sion of congress, and that those in
terested were conducting a "tremen-
