the least object to having to eat in their
living room.
But we have room enough to have
conventional eating rooms, the present
idea seems to make them formal and
almost severe in their freedom from
furnishings that have naught to do with
the art of eating The comfortable
lounge or divan has long since been
barred from its place in the dining room
and to have an easy chair beside a
dining room window would be almost
scandal to the interior decorator. Buff
fets are no longer regarded as convenient
places to place accessories between meals,
and IL you will observe in well-furnished
dining rooms the buffets are adorned
with nothing more than pair of CANDLE
sticks those tall urns in which silver Is
slowed or perhaps vase of flowers. Even
the linen runner is often removed from
the buffet and sideboard between meals,
leaving the bare polished wood fully re-
vealed.

monkey fur put at it's lower edge to
match collar of it that goes half way
around the neck.
This suit is shown in the sketch. The
arrangement of the monkey fur is not
the only novelty that the suit embodies.
Notice the curious little trick of adding
two flaps of cloth to each buttonhole.
These are used on the skirt and the coat.
Sometimes they are lined with a contrast
ing color, again they are left plain.
The coat of this suit is shorter than
the majority of it's companions n the
fashion promenade, but that gives it a
more youthful line.

DuVetyn finds strong place In WINTER
fashions, especially as the present
weave sinks into the figure and does
not make a large woman look I'M
wieldly.
New York.-Theres not much choice IN
fabric this season. 1t does not take a
keen observer to observe that fact.
There is very little that is new and
worthy in the French materials that we
may wish to possess. There is the cash
meres which Callot uses in such generous
measure, but it IS rather dull and not
suitable for American coat suits or even
one-pieee frocks to be worn on the street
in mid winter.
Duvetyn, which Paris uses in such large
quantities and which can be found in
America. is admirable. 1t suits our cli
mate and it suits our large figures. 1t
comes in good cJiors, such as bottle
green, dregs of wine, mouse gray, Ha-
vana brown, polished copper and black.
When the French designers use the lat
ter color they enliven 1t with scarlet
stitchery or bits of bright red leather. The
world evidently has 20 intention of cloth
ing itself in dull black. 1t does not wear
the color unrelieved In the evening 1t
makes a background for brilliant pail
lettes, for scarlet feathers, for ostrich
nues that rise up from the material like
fountain sprays.
In street gowns and day house gowns
black is used as a foundation for colored
crewel embroidery. for Florentine leather
designs and for polished leather.
TRIMMED WITH MONKEY FUR
The two commonest types of peltry,
monkey and Mongolia, are both used on
duvetyn suits for the winter They are
combed out like fringe and appear to act
as a substitute for it. Last winter In
America, and last spring. in Paris, a
world of women floated around in dangl-
ing fringe that gave them the appearance
of I5awaiians. But that form of orna-
mentation has vanished. Even Paris,
which seemed to he unable to get along
without it, has discarded it.
AS a reminder of it they take monkey
and AIongalie. comb it out to its fullest
length and sew it on the edges of cloth.
This, in its way, is n minor form of fringe,
but it has not yet tired the public 1t may
not be sufficiently used in America to
promote WEAKNESS.
AS a people, we are not fond of either
peltry We prefer the monkey AMI the
goat 10 stay where they belong. We do
not regard them as sufficiently lovely to
provide us with our most expensive
method of ornameltation. Tt may be,
however, that the American people will
accept both of them merely because they
are the fashion, or rather because they
are the continuation of a fashion Whlch
France has thrown at us for nearly two
years
CURIOUS ADDITION TO COATS
The French tailors have thought out
many queer and curious mdthoAs by which
monkey fur may be used in fashionable
circles The furriers comb it into long
fringes and run it over the surface OF
gray squirrel. The makers of evening
gowns tufts of it at the hips to ac-
centuate the crinoline effect. And now
there comes along bittle of green duve-
tvn SIif which has fringe of black

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial Day in Ely passed WIZ
ideal weather conditions, no dust nor
rain. bright sunshine and just warm
enough for comfort. The public OBJ
of the day which has come
to mean so much to everyone, was
not carried out 50 thoroughly as was
expected. and the fact that no intel
ligent arrangements were made for
the participation in the exercises by
The returned Soldiers and Sailors,
was a keen disappointment to all eon-
cerned. The exercises at the
terry included a short address by
James NJ. Lockhart.
But all during the day the Gene
terry was the point towards which
relatives and friends turned their
steps, with floral tributes to the
memory of their dead. and by night
fall the burial place was a veritabfe
garden of flowers. The non-arrival
of a shipment of flowers ordered for
the day by a local florist was a re-
grettable incident, but nevertheless
there seemed to be a supply from 9TH
er sources and nearly every grave
bore its silent testimonial of some
ones love.
II is hoped that another year there
will be no miscarriage of n plans
nor oversight of any feature tending
to the dignity and beauty of the
event. and that Ely's public observ-
ance of Memorial Day will be such as
il should be and can be with con-
certed and systematic arrangements

DIFFERENT WAYS OF REFORM

Maybe the world is growing wiser
with age but the acts of the legis-
lative bodies of various states seem
TO indicate individual essentricities
of different communities. Ohio is
striving to pass a law to prevent
prize fighting on the basis of self-in-
flicted cruelty. while indianapolis is
crazy with enthusiasm over the sud
den deaths of speed maniacs in au-
tomobiles that burn up on the track
and cremate the drivers before the
eyes of 100000 spectators. Unlike
those states. Nevada has turned hes
attention to prohibition while per

idle in the basement of the court
house awaiting an order for its total
destruction.
This stuff may be poison, but IN
California it is considered a legal
beverage and in many hospitals
throughout the country small guam
titles administered at certain inter
walls are prescribed. At any rate 1t

The best letter Of recommendation
that | could receive for a young man
would be one written by himself In
which each and every word. including
his signature, was absolutely legible
and clear, the signature being of es-
pecial importance. An older man
might perhaps be %pardoned for slur-

might write a signature that was
quite undecipherable In itself, but
that was known because II was asso-

IN A WAY

Ii is quite interesting indeed 10
follow the trend of public opinion
anent that which is sometimes known
as ."dry-as-dust" prohibition. Nc
vada has such a Law and il is the
real thing in it's line, hence material
is ample for the study. The con-
clusicn is that II the people had the
opportunity to restore the saloon to
its former place. here and there and
| everywhere, the public would not re-
store said saloon, says the Nevada
News Letter. But if the public has
the opportunity 10 put light wines
and beer back TO their former In
fluenoe in establishing some little
relaxation here and there. the public
would do that very thing. The trou-
BILE with the present Law is that II
is too "forbidding." Public opinion
is more OF less of a queer thing but
can always be counted to finally
swing in line with things that are
fair and reasonable and sensible. In
this connection are presented inter
esting observations on prohibitions
limits by Gertrude Atherton. the
noted writer. who has chosen the
New York Times as a medium OF
expression:
The Law may control the latent
criminal instincts of all but the mer-
tally perverted, but it never Yet pre-

Negotiations Will No
Longer Be Attempted

Washington, Oct. 20.--"We will dis
cuss no compromise" John l.. Lewis.
acting president of the United Mine
Workers Of America, made this state
ment today relative to the conference
of miners and operators to be held
with Secretary of Labor Wilson to-
morrow in an attempt to forestall the
threatened coal strike.
Get that clear; Wen discuss no
compromise" said Lewis. I'VE
opened negotiations with the opera
tors in Buffalo. They broke them off.
We tried to negotiate with them
again in Philadelphia. They again
broke off the negotiations. We went
into the conference with Secretary
wilson ready to discuss any compro-
mise they might offer. They made
no move, and since then have shown
that they don't want the strike called
off,"
well, the strike won't be called
off," Lewis said. "Bituminous min
ers in every state in the Union. from
West Virginia to Colorado, will go
on strike Nov. l. There will be
enough coal on hand to keep the
country warm about thirty days"
Lewis then said that with the ar

. OKER GAME A
.RAME-UP P--GILES
J. T. Giles Sued for S1,500
Draft, Alleged Lost in Hot
Springs Poker Game.
GIVEN LIQUOR THEN CARDS

The echo of a poker game at Hot
Springs, Ark, was heard in the chan
Gerry court Monday morning before
Chancellor w. B. Garvin in the case
Of W., ID. Beele against ]. T. Giles,
manager of the United States Cast
Iron Pipe and Foundry company.
The suit was involving a draft for
$1,000 which Mr.. Giles gave while in
Hot Springs and which he later
stopped payment on. After the hear
ing the chancellor took the papers in
the case and withheld his decision in
order to allow counsel for complain
ants to cite other cases in point. The
complainants are represented by
John B. Hyde and Sykes Williams,
and the defendant by T. Pope Shep-
herd. The trial of the suit created a
great deal of amusement, the chan
cellor remarking that he had just
returned from Hot Springs, but en-
phatically added, Il engaged in no
poker games"
The complainant insisted that he
owned and operated the Ohio saloon
in Hot Springs, over. which was a
gambling house. He claimed the de-
fendant was brought to him by a
for $500 for him, which he did. The
next day the defendant returned in
the morning and got another draft
cashed for $500 and in the afternoon
anther $500, making a total of $1,500.
Complainant charges that he knew
nothing of what defendant was doing
with the money; in other words. did
not know that he was gambling it
away upstairs. The complainant fur
ther charged that he had never been
in the gambling house, and If Mr..
Giles lost the money gambling, he
cashed the $500 draft for him in
good faith, and was an innocent pur-
chaser.
Frame Up"-Giles.
The defendant, through his attor-
ney, stated that he met bartender
in the hotel where he was stopping
and after the bartender got him un-
der the influence of whisky took him
to the gambling house and inveigled
him into a crooked poker game. De-
fendant charges the whole thing Nsas
a frame-up from the first, and was
intended, and did, skin and flimfiam
him out of his money. Mr.. Giles
charged that if it had been an honest
game he would not have hesitated to
pay, as he always had, his losses.
Chancellor Garvin laughed at the
idea of Beele not knowing what the
defendant was doing with the money
he got from him, also the idea that
the complainant never had been in
the gambling house upstairs. How
ever, he gave the complainant's law
yers further time to file references
to the case.
