\ F ANYTHING can reconcile sum A mer-loving world to the coming of autumn and winter, the coats and hats with which we are to face the cold ought to qualify. There is nothing in their makeup to even suggest depres- sion and everything that speaks of comfort and brillianee is theirs. They are here before the autumn leaves and will still be here when the leaves are gone, adding as much to the glory of the year as lies in the power oA hu- man beings to contribute. The coats are made of materials that are soft, thick, in textures that reveal the rich ness of quiet colors.
 Long lines tapering In toward the bottom are chosen for many coats. Very ample collars in the cape muffier and shawl varieties make them look equal to protecting one against the most frigid weather and altogether the new models are very graceful.
 One of these long, cozy coats ap- pears at the left of the two shown in the picture. It is shaped to hang In toward the bottom and has a group of plaits down the middle of the back, accented by rows of large covered buttons at each side. There is very

He had neat little cottage beyond the gardens. His wife was very pleas mt and thought too much of my serv- ices. Williamson himself was a fine man, and I am interested in gardening. Consequently, having to visit the fam fly every day or every other day, formed a habit of talking with him. When, by chance, l spoke of the ghost story to Williamson, with no more purpose than ever had had ia these inquiries, I noticed that he was a bit embarrassed.

The report was not that of a small shotgun such as Jed had car ried. It was the report of a rifle or pistol.
