muff that goes with this collar is one of
the most popular models for winter. A
band of fur encircles it in the center. OF

this set would be decidedly stunning and

The vogue Of these shoulder capes is
so great that there seems to be an end
lss variety of them. While some of them
just cover the shoulders, others reach
the waistline, and some go even below
it. Hudson seal is one of the favored
furs for them, and is often effectively
combined with ermine; perhaps a collar
or just band around the neck gives
the necessary contrast. Kolinsky, mole

these charming sets. In a great many

generally a tam o '-shanter or turban.

be as much Of craze as ever. The me-

A MODEL COMMUNITY

Down among the mountains Of Ten
nessee, high on the Cumberland Table
lands, lies the little town of Clifty. It
is just little mining town, peopled by
a hardy, industrious set of people, but
it is showing to the world how neigh
bors and friends may "dwell together
in unity
We have said that it is a mining
town, but it is more; that the people
are hardy and industrious, but they
are more; they have the true community
spirit-they are real neighbors.
This town has conceived and put in
to force some community plans that
might well be copied by this city.
OF course almost every family in the
town owns and cultivates its own gar
den and "truck" patches, but this is
not all. few years ago the mine SUI
perintendent, man of considerable
learning and of progressive spirit,
conceived the plan of having all the
citizens of the town own and cultivate
a small tract of land in common. Five
or six acres We're first bought and cul-
tivated as a community farm Tho
result was a pronounced success, and
each year thereafter the town added
to its holdings until the past season ID
had about one hundred and sixty acres
under cultivation on the community
plan, and the people announce their in
tention Of branching out still further.
Now there would be nothing out Of
the common in this if the experiment
had not developed some gratifying re-
suits.
First, they discovered that instead
of fifteen or twenty families (about
the number interested in the "commun-
ity') each having to own and main
tain a team, three or four teams were
amply sufficient.
Again they discovered that instead
of fifteen or twenty sets Of agricultural
implements being needed, only three
or four of each kind were necessary,
and of some, only one-a great saving
all must admit. Each stOckholder bears
his pro rata share Of expense and fur
nishes his pro rata amount of labor.
Briefly, the plan has proven such q
success that the community now has
it's own silo, blooded hogs and cattle,
and last year their exhibits led all 9th.
ers Mt the county fair.
But these arc not all of the results.
The close business association necessary
in the successful working out of the
plans has developed spirit Of commun-
ity brotherhood that is a pleasure to
witness. In this little town is ex.
emplified typical brotherhood of
man. The welfare and comfort of the
most humble is MS carefully looked af-
ter as that of the most wealthy. They
have splendid school, church, Sunday
school, and recently commodious club
house has been erected that is proving
a power for good to both young men
and older ones.
We have briefly sketched the results
of this community plan of cooperation
as showing what true community
spirit will accomplish. Many features
of interest have necessarily been omit
ted from this article for lack Of space.
But should any other community de.
sire to know more of their workings
a letter addressed 70 the postmaster
will receive prompt and courteous an
swer and full information will be given
Of plans that cannot fail to benefit any
community.

The Importance Of
Dresses This Season
The Vogue for Long Goats Brings More ol
Demand for Dresses.
FAVORED MATERIALS AND STYLES

1t is within the reach of everyone to
have one of the smart little sets consist
ing of cape-collar and muff which are
considered such good style now. OF
course, they can be just as expensive as
you like if you are going to have them
of some costly pelt; but on the other
hard little ingenuity, little velvet or
plush, and few bands of fur, and you
may have a set as distinctive as any of
the Persian importations. In Paris they
are wearing these sets in a variety of
charming models, and in New York, too,

One of the many attractive styles is
pictured here worn with one-piece box
pleated dress of serge. They are very
often used in this way; for instead of
wearing suit, warm woolen dress of
serge, broadcloth or velvet with one of
these capes is quite enough protection
from the cold. The cape-cpllar in the

the front as the majority of them do. It
