TheBreQkfust
Coat
BY Rita Stuyvesant.

THESE glorious spring mornings
offer a pretty excuse to get
up early and enjoy breakfast
with the soft sun streaming into
ones breakfast And among
the negligees to be worn at this oc-
casion there is an adorable little
breakfast coat that is wonderfully
dainty and becoming. Quite a bit
different. too. from the fluffy, lacy
negligec that we are beginning to
know so well, yet possessing all the
charm OF French finery.
This new breakfast coat expresses
its charm and loyeliness through
the mAiium of taffeta, crisp and
rustling and silky, and tinted in
such delicate shades.
One original creation faunts it's
ultra-smartness to an admiring
world in tones of orchid~rose, one
OF the newer shades of spring. And
what gorgeous color!
The wonderful rose color blends
beautifully and melts softly into the
delicate orchid tint. The color
alone is quite enough to make the
coat a success, but when one COM
bines graceful lines and clever de-
tails the result is bound to be ire
sistible.
For simplicity there are elbow
length kimono sleeves. cut in one
with the body. and frilled prettily
at the edges. The frills are sharp
ly pointed and picoted lending a
clever note. This coat is cut not
too full and falls considerably below
the hips, and there is heightened by
a deep founce reaching almost to
the ankles. 1t is set on by heavy
cording most seffective and the bot
tom instead of being hemmed frivo-
lously is scalloped and picoted.
There is slim sash that gir-
dies the coat and as a final bit of
cache one adds a bunch of French
posies in lovely pastel shades at
the waist. In a dainty coat of
this kind who would not appear to
advantage. even If it were at
breakfast?
Another new offering of this ma
ture is a coat developed in that
fascinating peach-rose shade that
France has given us. This model
is not quite so long, but 1t falls
over a petticoat of creamy lace, CO.
quettishly showing a ruffle or two
beneath. Sashed and sIashed clev-
erly, is the way 1t wins its title
of distinctive. For the skirt is
slashed and bound in cord and the
waist Is a demure shade of French
blue introducing a marvellous color
combination.
The woman who appears so strik-
ingly at the brilliant evening af-
fairs or perhaps the little bride
who fears the strong morning light
on her complexion, need rest as
sured that she is looking quite her
lovliest in the morning, when she
dons a breakfast coat holding, so
much charm.

etc. in such way as TO give satis-
faction. That is what a fruit
grower in Oregon has done. For
three or four years he has special
lied in marketing fruits. berries,
and vegetables by parcel post to
customers in small towns within a
radius OF 200 miles. His mailing
list now includes about 1000 names,
and his sales amount to about
$4,000 annually.

that time that he came on to the
Capital and finished at Columbian
University-LL. B. and LII. M.
By this time he was so full of de-
grees that he had almost forgot
ten the fair sex, but was ambitious
to practice law, so went to Spring
field, where he was admitted to the
bar and began the practice at
Marion, his home, until elected to
Congress.
That he is fond of hunting, fish
ing and outdoor sports goes with
out saying, for his office is full
of pictures taken in the Panama
jungles and on the prairies of
Texas. In one picture he is hold
ing a rattlesnake which is as long
as he is tall. In another he is
taking a ride on an alligator, and
another on a bucking broncho in
Texas. He is very much interested
in railroad legislation, probably
because when a small boy his
highest ambition was to become an
engineer on a railroad.
Like several other bachelors in
Congress, his sweetheart is his
mother, who has been a widow for
many years, and with whom he
makes his home in Marion.

THE PORT OF NEW YORK. BY Thomas
f. Rush, New York; Doubleday,
Page & Co.
Men who direct the business of
the nation will be interested in this
book, written by the surveyor of
the port of New York. 1t is a his
tory of the greatest port in the
country entertai iningly told. The
author discusses at length the free
port idea, and program for future
development.
LANCBLOT, poem, by Edward Ar
lington Robinson. New York: Thomas
Seltzer.
Robinson, concededly one Of
Americas greatest poets, has given
us in 'Lancelot" the ripest product
of his poetic talent. Though the
theme is ancient, Robinson's treat
ment of it is thoroughly modern
and full of meaning for us today.
The Arthurian legend is here used
by him to lay bare the profoundcst
depth of the tragedy of our time.
The medieval atmosphere of war and
strife furnishes the author an ex-
cellent vehicle for his poetic inter-
probation of the questions and is
sues that have agitated us during
and since the war. Apart from its
value as a poem and apart from its
timely appeal, "Lancelot" will be
found to be a highly interesting
narrative.

he would be a model boy of sweet

ever break a toy; but all his efforts
would employ to keep quite neat
and clean. Mud pies would have no
lure for him and he would never
climb in reckless style from limb to

trim and ever free from CRIME. I've
never fully understood why parents

But parents fill me with amaze,
their methods seem so wild. When
