THREE lNoUIsITIvE SCOTS.
And How They Happened to Originate
the Jute Industry.

And How They Happened to Originate
the Jute Industry.
James Logic, who is supposed to
know more about jute than any one
else In America, tells in a very in.
teresting way how jute came to be
known to Europe and the west:
"In 1910, on Saturday afternoon,
three Dundee fax spinners were walk
ing to their beautiful residences in
Broughty Ferry, about four miles east
Of Dundee, on the banks of the Tay,
and as usual strolled along the docks
At that time there were several Clip
per line sailing vessels trading With
Dundee In Indian products, principally
grain, linseed, etc., and on this par
ticular Saturday one of these vessels
was discharging her miscellaneous
cargo, and these eanny Scots observed
fibre In some quantity on the dock
and made inquiry as to what 1t was.
"They were told 1t was some Indian
product that had been obtained In
Bengal. and was suitable for the dun
mage of ships They examined the
fibre little more carefully and all
thought 1t would be possible to spin
the fibre on their fax machinery. The
result was that Monday morning they
made bee line for the agents of the
ship and asked what they were goins
to do with this waste material.
"They got the reply, We propose
dumping 1t into the river and when
they expressed wish to experiment
with 1t they were told they could cart
it away from the dock and were well
come to it If they paid the carriage.
Thus the jute industry started--tor the
fiber turned out to be nothing less than
what we know commercially today as
.jute. '"--Exchange.

Christmas is in the air! We are
reminded of its nearness at every
street corner; even the most matter
of-fact among US must feel its spirit
and anticipate its cheer. Safe and
sane Christmas shopping has been
preached for ages, but, nevertheless,
each year sees the same crowd in the
shops and hears the same question on
every side, what shall l give for
Christmas ?" 1t is easily answered
this year if the intended recipient is
feminine. There are all sorts of wear
.ables that may be laid at the dainty
maids door on Christmas morning to
be received with little EXPLANATIONS of
delight.
If one has time to tarry moment
or two at the main entrance of one OF
the big shops on one of these busy
afternoons, they will have a revela-
ton in clothes. Serge rules in the
matter of suits and simple frocks;
furs are much in evidence and never
have we had season when they were
so becoming and so much within the
reach Of all pocketbooks. There are
wide soft collars and cuffs; small
round muffs, and any number of other
accessories which may be made at
home if desired and added to the suit
of serge to enhance it's charm and
style Scarcely a suit or frock, pass
ing in and out on it's Christmas mis-
sion, but shows this touch of fur;
braid, too, is having it's day on tunlc
and coat; one cannot but remark the
wonderful variety in collars and
sleeves. The majority of the suits
show the high collar, and many of the
dresses too, although on GOTTEN Gimp
ses beneath top-coat, and suit-coat, a
dainty, sheer blouse of crepe de
Chine or crepe Georgette with open
throat, dainty in its softness. The
flare is the thing on collars, cuffs,
tunics, coat edges, and skirt hens.
On many of the ripping coats and
skirts, tape holds the ripples grace
fully in place; this tape is arranged
around the lower edge of the lining
and is in the same color; oftimes too
a narrow taffeta or picot-edged rib
bon is used instead of tape.
There is the leg-o'-mutton, the
gauntlet sleeve, in many variations,
the bell-sleeve, the angel sleeve, and
the sleeve gathered at armhole and
wrist. 1t is quite a novelty, the sleeve
gathered into the armhole; and it is
true to it's old time inspiration, even
to the slight puff at the shoulder.
One of the most graceful sleeves of
all is the gauntlet with wide, tight
fitting cuff, flaring slightly over the
hand. The ugliest hand in the world
must gain in grace with such cuff.
The full gathered sleeves are partic-
ularly graceful and pretty in the tran
sparent fabrics now so much favored
for sleevs in al sorts of frocks.
The serge coat dress is a general
favorite for shopping and street wear.
A particularly chic model is made
with long, pointed tunic, gauntlet
sleeve, high collar and novel sur
plice closing. Blue serge trimmed
with small braid-covered buttons and
loops and a wide band of Hercules
braid edging the tunic is the most at
tractive combination.
