ITOR wear with the one piece gown
IL furriers are providing an at
tractive lot of coates. short
wraps and scarfs.
The street gown of the season Is
built on such simple lines and in such
rich fabrics that 1t forms an admirable
background for a jaunty little wrap or
a graceful scarf of luxurious fur.
Velvet, duvetyn or gabardine are the
fabrics used for the modish street frock,
which is built on the simplest lines.
| Duvetyn in neutral shades and occa-
sionally in green. sapphire blue or
Pompeian red is fashioned into expen-
| sive frocks on which embroidery may
play small or large part, or they
may be guiltless of trimming beyond a
binding of matching grosgrain ribbon.
The velvet gown is also procurable
in color. but is easily more effective
and beautiful in black, as often as not
| without a vestige Of trimming. A bit
of color is sometimes introduced at the
gtrdle or about the neckline. In one
black velvet dress this takes the form
of rope Of floss silk in coral which is
fastened by means Of COUGHING stitch
to the fabric,
A few Of the street gowns have the
novel touch Of high collars and there
are long sleeves. but not on the same
model. In many instances the hip line
| Is built out by means Of cartridge
plaits or by setting on the skirt fulness
in q series OF larger loops.
To wear with these frocks out of
doors there are very short fur Jackets,
q bewildering number of little wraps
which are neither coat nor cape, but
| a sort Of link between the two. a
variety of capes in the proper sense
of the term, collars which are so large
as to make 1t doubtful whethsr they
are collars or capes, and splendid
width as we'll as those OF more mod
crate size.
It must be said that the little fur
coates are distinctly youthful gar
ments, designed expressly for the slim
and graceful girl.
They have a shortening and broaden
ing effect on the figure which is not
desirable for the wide hipped woman.
She would make a much more salts
| factory investment in one OF the long
straight scarfs or the irregular capes
The short fur jacket often has a
! loose back and a belted front or is
| loose all round and one short model
has a pinched in waist with rippled
peplum quite in the manner OF long
| ago.
The little coatee is nearly always
drawn snugly in at the bottom so that

with the deep armhole and loose
sleeve. produces a dolman effect which

While the short Jacket has long
sleeves the little wrap has only short
or rudimentary sleeves or perhaps
only Sits through which the \arn
energies.
Though there are few moderate
collars, on the whole they are of that
huge variety which when fastened
covers the chin or unfastened droops
over the shoulders. One remarkable
mole coatee, which barely reaches be-
low the waistline, has a SHAPED turn
over collar which is so deep that 10
reaches the elbows when buttoned.
Nearly all the combinations of furs
seem to be reserved this season for
Jackets and coates. One seldom sees
two furs combined on the long coats
or the separate pieces. but IN the short
garments pretty effects are arrived at
by trimming mole or seal with gray

bined with fitch or beaver and mole
with taupe fox. Natural caracul 10
combined with beaver which matches
1t exactly in tone. and richness could
go no further than the collaring Of
a baby lamb or broadtail wrap with
sable.
A little French wrap with a mufY
to correspond is shown in both gray
and brown squirrel which Is orna.
mented by lines of monkey fur fringe
and makes itself surprisingly attrac-
tive in the process.
Mink Of a browner cast than for
merly is fashioned into beautiful
Coates and capes in which the placing
of the stripes and tails in order to pro-
duce the design is a wonder Of in
genuity.
Capes both straight and circular and
with huge down dropping collars are
very modish. The circular cape, which
is really cut in a circle, is at its best
when It is very much longer in the
back than in the front, and is particu-
larry becoming to tall or stately
women.
1t is to be had in squirrel, seal, mole,
broadtail and mink. A lovely mole
cape Of another type is plated softly
at the back and hangs in deep points
| at either side. All these fur garments
have gay, pretty Innings Of pussy will
low silk.
Marvellous scarfs straight and very
long are produced in variety of furs
which include both the heavy and close
pelts. A new way Of contriving both
seal and mole is by separating long
bands of the fur in which the grain
runs in one direction by the tiniest of
bands with the grain running cross
wise. Matching chiffon Innings often
embroidered in bright colors finish the
scarfs.

Never before in the history Of the

as sometimes happens, cherishes an
inner vision of herself as tall and will

for her selecting an unsuitable model.

Thoroughly well dressed women at

the latter. OF course, that most of the
variety in design is to be found,
though the jacket. tailored on man

There is a distinct leaning toward
the daring and picturesque in the suit
coats displayed this season. Especially
new and attractive are the coats on
Louis XIV. lines, rather fitted, with a
nipped in waist and a good deal of
spring at the hips. often accentuated
by means Of large pocket flaps, godets
or a circular cut to the coat skirts.
This is the most radical departure
from the lines to which we have be-

coat skirt stands out in a series of
hard and ungraceful godets. its me-

TACOMA COUNCIL
SEES ITS ERROR

Communication has Just been re-
ceived at the headquarters of the
State Federation informing its Of
ficers that the Central Labor Coun-
ell of Tacoma, at its last meeting,
reversed it's action of a week ago,
when it voted down the motion to
endorse the plan for State Con-
ference proposed by the Executive
Council Of the State Federation of
Labor, and decided to invite the
Metal Trades Council at Tacoma,
and the Seattle Central Labor Coun-
ell and Metal Trades Council, to-
gether with any other Councils that
cared to join them, to send dele
gates to meeting to be arranged
for at Seattle, the purpose of which
was to promote the referendum on
the o. B. u. resolution, in defiance
of the decision of the Executive
Council of the American Federation
OF Labor, and the decision of the
Executive Council of the State Fed
Grafton OF Labor.
1t is generally conceded that had
the Tacoma Central Labor body at
tempted to carry its proposed pro-
gram into effect that its charter
would have been revoked by the
American Sederation of Labor, and
n new Council Immediately organ
ized.
President Short, of the Fedora
tion, appeared before their Council
at the former meeting and explain
ed both the decision that had been
arrived at by the Executive Council
of the State Federation, and the
program that had been outlined to
meet the situation resulting from
the ultimatum of the Executive
Council of the American Federation
of Labor, pointing out that every
thing that was honestly desired by
the progressive forces of the State
movement could be accomplished
under the plan outlined by the state
Federation officers.
However, only a small delegation
was present at the Council meeting
and it seemed quite evident that as
far as some of the delegates were
concerned that no question would
receive serious consideration that
meant upholding either the princi-
pies of the American Federation of
Labor or the State Federation of
Labor. However, since publicity
has been given to the constructive
and progressive program promul-

SHOPMEN DENIED
A WAGE INCREASE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Presi-
dent Wilson has denied the railway
shop mems request that rates be ad-
vanced from 6S cents an hour to SIS
cents an hour. Instead, he offers
an advance of 4 cents an hour and
states that where readjustments are
necessary these will be made.
The shop mems executives have
instructed the railroad locals to i'm
mediately ballot on the Accent offer.
The President made his statement
before representatives of the rail-
way shop men affiliated with the
A. r. of L. Railway Employees De-
partment. The international unions
involved are the machinists, black
smiths, boilermakers, sheet metal
workers, electrical workers and rail
way carmen. These unionists sub
mitted their wage demand last Jan
uary.
The President said the workers

SERIOUS increase in the cost of
living" was "a very potent argu-

"the cost of living has certainly
reached it's peak and will probably
be lowered by the efforts which are
now everywhere being concerted
and carried out" The president
said the cost of living will certain
ly be lowered" as soon as the treaty
of peace is ratified and in opera
ton.
The shop men show that the Gov

lished the eight-hour day and set

these workers was substantial.
In the case of so-called union
roads. the increase of wages and re-
duction of hours were parallel, leav-
ing nothing for the workers to COM

On the Great Northern and North
srn Pacific systems, where the
unions control, rates were 81 cents
