A woman should recognize that.

be rallied at for its mistakes, A large
number OF manufacturers have exploited
their skill in turning out these fabrics,
and some have succeeded while others
have failed. True, woman puts her
hand into a grab bag when she wears
the material these days. for she has no
way Of determining its durability, aud,
therefore, she takes the velourS or the
duvtyn that is offered her with the
hope on her lips that il proves salts

She has adopted il as top coat with
more enthusiasm than she gives to it
as a one-piece irock, for she found out
that for the latter, Jersey has returned
to the highest fashion and that it is
one OF the most admirable materials
that can be worn in winter or summer
The reason she likes duvetyn for All
overcoat, is its fleMbility and the man

Of the figure. 1t relieves her of any
undue weight on the shoulders good

There are two distinct types OF top

Armand for the French women. 1t IS
designed for. travelling coat, or for
walking, which is a pastime that the
French have taken up for the first time

II is OF deep brown duvetyn, with a
wide waist-band that ends in front on
each side Of square brown seal. The
sides Of the coat are stitched to a front
panel from waist TO hem, and the top

revere of plaid silk Which also appears
as the lining to the broad cuffs which
flare upward and the slightly loose
sleeves. There is a coachmans collar
of seal attached to the coat, and a
small, soft muff made to match.

practically to shanghaimg," was the
statement Of James Irvine Ir, son Of
James Irvine, the wealthy ranch owner
of Santa Anna.
That my contentious of physical

forty years Germany had built up her
chemical industry until it led the world.

turned out the finished product When

StuiiS and chemicals so essential to our
industries and agriculture, capital in

were concentrated ON the problem, and
IN the w. years a new industry has

now beginning to export anilnc dyes.
During July last we shipped nearly half
a million dollars worth
