 For almost hundred years no one thought of making thread other than linen and silk. Cotton was not so much as thought of. Then Ma poleon. who had been devastating Europe, thought he would strike a blow at the silk industry of Ham, burg. and caused the stocks of silks to be burned. The thread makers of Paisley thus found their supplies of raw material cut off, and they had to look about to find a substitute. Cotton was tried, and was found to answer the purpose so well that the basis of an entirely new industry was laid-the manufacture of "cot-

The matter has been so carefully systematized that the grade of efficiency reached in these patriotic endeavors is al- most unbelievable.

 Yes, indeed, skirts are narrow, and there is very good reason for their being so.

as last year It is not comfortable to walk in a tight skirt that is long, and so once more we find common sense aiding fashion. One must, how ever not go to the other extreme and have the skirt too narrow for beauty.

 One of the big Paris houses has decided that the fall would not be fall without ne coat suit, and so they are declaring with all their might and main that the smart thing is the suit wrist length coat and short, tight skirt mother equally famous house forswears all allegiance to this old standby. and designs nothing but coats and dresses for street wear. So, there in a nutshell you have it, and the advantage is with you, for you are American and can decide for yourself this all-im- portant question. There can be no doubt that the top coat has place of it's own in the wardrobe of the smart woman. If the coat be stylish and becoming of line and color, the dress of last year can be worn with perfect confidence. (That is, if you don't take off your coat)
 A splendid example of an all-em- Dracing, all-covering coat is illustrat- ed here It is made of fur cloth with the square collar that is considered so unusually smart. The pocket, sections, which give the wide hip effect, can be omitted, thus giving a coat built on straighter lines.
 As you see, it IS full length, and is comfortable in every respect. The large buttons and the contrasting fur cloth for the collar and cuffs are the only trimming necessary

They must be hand run, and they must be very tiny; otherwise they may be used at dis cretion, whenever and wherever you please, and the more the merrier.

Jersey and Guernsey cows give rich fat producing milk, and for that req son their milk has been regarded as too rich for infants. It is still true that the milk of the Ayrshire and the Holstein is better suited to infants than the Jersey and Guernsey milk, but the cause is not the fat, as has been thought. The fact is that the casein of the Ayrshire and Holstein milk is decidedly more flocculated and not so readily curdled in the stomach, so that it is the most easily digested by children.

 An old-time blow, probably used by the early Spaniards around San Antonio, was upturned on the old fair ground by workmen of con- struction company. The blow has a three-foot turning blade, capable of making a three-foot furrow, and al though the wooden handles have rot ted away the size of the iron sup ports indicates the blow must have been about twelve feet in length.
