includes some of the greatest living
scientists and educators. These au-

monarchs towards this "deadening
drug" is fully warranted by scientific
evidence. Alcohol" they say. rs .

This is a rich, glossy plush of so dark brown that il might be classed among the various blacks.
 The coat is long, nearly covering the dress, and hangs almost straight at the front. It is semifitted at the back, but loosely adjusted to the fig ure. There are wide revers at the front which may be rolled forward when the turnover collar is brought up close about the neck. Large GOV cred buttons, like the material of the coat are used for fastening at the front-and one is set at each side of the back at the waist line.
 The wide collar and deep cuffs of white fur are made separate and fastened to the coat when it is to do duty for evening or dressy after noon wear. They are not intended for the workaday world of every day, but to convert very practical coat into rich-looking garment suited to special occasions. There is nothing
