A COFFEE CHARTER.
Schooners to be Employed in the South
American Trade.

For the first time in many years a
coasting schooner has been chartered to
load cargo OF coffee, the schooner
Frontenac, now on the way from Norfolk
to Rio Janeiro with coal, having been
engaged by a syndicate of coffee import
ers to load full cargo at Rio for New
Orleans, for which she gets $1,000, max
ing with her outward freight a most
profitable round trip.
Many charters to Brazilian ports have
been taken lately by American coastwlse
vessels at very remuneratlve rates, the
withdrawal of so many steamers former
ly engaged in the South American trade
having caused very active demand for
sailing vessels to take their places. In
addition to the five masters Van Aliens
Boughton and Fannie Palmer, before re-
ported, taken for IL months in that busl-
ness at $500 and $4,000 respectively per
month, the four masted schooner Add
son E. Billiard, now at Boston coal laden,
has also been taken for the same period,
getting $500 month. She will leave IN
a few days for Norfolk, where she will
load coal for Brazilian port.

ARE THESE YOUR SYMPTOMS?

Do you find your breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the mouth, q
coated tongue, mean feeling in the
head?
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. 1t is condition which,
If not corrected, becomes chronic.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do notgripe or purge but simply
assist nature. Taken regularly for q
time, they really do correct constipation.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, for free sample or
get a full-size, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets
from your own druggist.

Pockets have come increasingly to the
fore and are an important feature of new
get-ups.
They are of all sizes and shapes, patch
pockets leading, and furnish such an eff
fective trimming note to coats and
skirts that the wonder is that they have
been out for so long.
Before great while, if this develop
ment continues, the fashionable woman
will have to institute some sort of a
slowing system in order to know to which
pocket she must go for her various be-
long1ngs. Then she must remember to
transfer her appurtenances every time
she changes her dress, or else have lot
of duplicate fixings. 1t looks like trouble
ahead, rather than convenience, but no
doubt some satisfactory solution will be
found.
MILITARY STYLES.
Military motifs appear in nearly every
new model shown for the coming sea-
sons, and these new styles demand care

CORRESPONDENTS of The Journal
NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 8, 1915. The
wearing of mourning is no longer con-
sidered obligatory as mark of respect
for the dead, or protection for the living.
Many families taboo such sable attire,
and even those who wear it endeavor to
get away from the terribly funereal
styles formerly worn. One seldom sees a
veil of heavy crepe, or anything in the
way of crepe trimmings outside few
folds on hats or gowns.
Any dnll black fabric is suitable for
mourning wear. Serge, Gabardine,
broadcloth, faile silk, and satins with
lusterless surfaces, and small simple
outfit is both in better taste and more
practical than variety of frocks that
must either be discarded or made over at
the end of six months or year when
the dress is ightened. For indoor wear
many women use all white, which is also
mourning, and is both less depressing
and more sanitary than the black.
A PRACTICAL SUIT.
A suit suitable for present wear under
fur wrap, and that could be used
throughout the rest of the year, except
in midsummer, is of black silk poplin,
combined with black MORE veours. The
skirt has deep fiaring founce of the
MORE, and the short Elton coat has
wide cape collar and cuffs or the MORE.
A blouse of chiffon cloth over net, with
touches of MORE in its trimmings, goes
admirably with this, and can be varied
by waists of white linen or lawn, with
hemstitching as the only garniture, or
white chiffon made IN the simplest posi-
BILE style.
All modish hats are reproduced in COM
blnations of dull silk and crepe or chif-
fon. The new type of veil that falls
loosely to the line of the shoulders is ad-
mirably adapted for mourning wear,
and is usually bordered with one or more
rows Of black grosgrain ribbon. This
same ribbon is also much used for hat
and dress trimmings, in bands or as mar
row pleatings that finish the. edges of the
blouse or skirt folds.
RIBBON TRIMMINGS,
Ribbon trimmings are very much to
the fore for all sorts of costumes, black
ard white plaids are especially attrac-
tive as girdles and accessories with
dresses of pongee and of white and color
ed crepons. The fad for Sitting the IA
brio of blouse or fichu and running
ribbon tie through these, after the style
familiar in lingerie, is notable in ad-
vance models for the coming spring.
