The women do love mannish clothes,
and nearly all the styles that the men
take up. the women follow just as
far as they can in their own tailored
| costumes Now they have gone still
farther and are grabbing onto gar
ment placed on the market for vine
men, without any changes whatever.
One of the big clothiers is selling the

with the high belt, and the skirts of
them are to reach about half way be-
tween the knee and ankle. They are
! in dull colOrs, greys and blues mostly,
and they are selling like ten-eent store
1 bargainS-tO the women. on, yes, the
men are buying them too, but they
are not working the clerks overtime
to wait on them as the women are do
ing. The small sizes, with just little
fitting and shortening, do beautifully

coats offered for their exclusive pur
chase that beat them for being swag
ger and popular.

I One of the clerks in the senate has
fbeen temporarily sent in for repairs.
| He is just back from Arkansas City,
| where a real accident befel1 him. He
was making a rush for the postoffice
| before it should close Sunday. He
| took out his watch to see how much
time he had to get to the general de-
livery window. Just then a big tour
ing car drew up before the building
| a pretty girl descended to the curb
| ing, then turned and placed one foot
| on the running board, leaned over
into the car to take out a parcel to
be posted Her gown was of the
stylish length. The clerk eye Strayed
from his watch and fastened itself on
| a stretch of the best looking red stock
ing he had ever behe1d in all his life.
He gazed and gazed as he walked on,
| for he still was intent on reaching
4 the office in time. He still held his
| watch in his hand as he one-stepped
4 it toward the door. In looking at
stocking he forgot that the postoffice
had steps, so instead of mounting
them, he fell onto them with a dull
thud. When he was gathered up, the
lens of his spectacles were broken,
the crystal of his watch was powdered
glass and his own watchful counte-
NANCE had a nasty cash across it.
