SKIRTS --ORTER,
 SHOETOPS LOWER,
 COLD WINTER DUE

St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 7.-Between the dictum of Mir. Hoover that Bkirrs must be shorter and narrow CT and the decision of the Western Association of Shoe Dealers, which has just closed it's convention that shoes must be shorter, what is a poor girl to do, with 8 hard winter coming on?
 Here, at one fell blow, in a manrer of speaking, a considerable gap has been created, by official orders, between the shoe tops and the skirt bottoms, and nothing has been devised to cover the hiatus if dmpled feminIne knees can be designated as a hiatus.
 In any event, the rubber-necking industry will grow by leaps and bounds and forthcoming cold, windy days will see much suffering, not to mention sundry adorable curves and shapely shanks.
 The Western Association Of Shoe Dealers decrees that ''The liberty shoe'. shall be three inches short CT than those now worn. That is getting back to the days when wo- mems shoes came just above the ankles. It Is estimated that by this means the manufacturers can save one pair of shoes In every 1O' and this Is big item in these days of COB BserVation.

HIGHEST OFFICIAL QUOTATION

Early advices from New York this
morning reported a sale of 10000
ounces of silver at 81 cents. This
confirms the market established in
san Francisco, where a small lot
was taken up to complete ship

quotation stood at 7S& cents. This
is the highest quotation for silver in
the course of the past "A years. In

cording to reports of the director
of the mine, was rs cents. The pre-
ceding year the average was ~

average. In 1890 the average was
S1.O5, but for four years before that
the price clung to the dollar mark
without reaching it, as the price
varied from "a to SO cents.

down in the national army selective
