Apply TO the Children's Bureau in the
Charities Building, 413 South Fifteenth

method is more binding. Legal fees for
adoption by deed are from $5 TO 81.
Court and legal fees for adoption in

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

-
HASiIIoN has a funny way Of retrac-
l. ing her STEPS sometimes and We find
that We would be much more nearly in
the mode IL we wore our clothes of some
five or six years ago than the clothes
of last season. And so it is that some
OF the suits and frocks that are eX-
tremely smart at the present moment
suggest In measure the things that we
wore half dozen springs ago. There is
the narrow skirt that is fairly long and
lie flare below the waistline. To be
sure the flare usually was formed as
part of the skirt or suit and the Jacket
was a short sacque affair. but the effect
was not dissimilar to that produced in
many OF the present suits.
And another revival! Manv of the
anoartest of the new suits are in the
covert shades which. although not so
becoming TO the majority of women as
navy blue. were in such high favor some
years ago The three-pisce suit here
shown has a skirt and Jacket of tan
tricot. with a silhouette that would have
been quite In the picture six years ago.
The bodice is OF the same shade-chiffon
with .tricot used TO form a bib front and
suspenders. A very happy idea Is carried

SO that they can be draped about the

HIGHER COFFEE

The statement has been made fire
quently that, under certain circum-
stances, the public will swallow al
most anything without protest. As the
present time, however, this Is not
true with reference to coffee, the price
Of which has been mounting higher
and higher in the succeeding months
for year or more past-and no re-
lief in sight. In fact New 0rleanc
coffee importers and dealers, in a
recently published statement, assert
that the price of coffee is likely TO so
still higher They give as the reason
for the increase in price that coffee
growers in Brazil, from whence comes
most of the worlds supply oil eof-
fee, have suffered serious losses to
their crop Of the berries from which
the fragrant cup is brewed through
