tailed last winter for about S125 sells
this year for between $65 and S75.
And it is not the same suit, either, but
one that has the same value as the
one of last year-not the same style

that better times are ahead ON this

the high, price of suits is one of the

Duvetyn Family in the Lead.
A critical observance of all of the

closes the fact that of all materials
duvetyn and the allied weaves that be-
long to that family are the ones which
are displaying their popularity above
all others. And in this wooily or
heavily mapped fabric there are shown
all sorts of variety, from those weaves
which are as thick and heavy as any
blanket to those which are so soft and
pliable that they can be gathered into
no space at all, so to say. There are

School Dresses Afford important
Problem for Young Misses,
Ten to Fifteen,

When one is well on the way to her
teens and yet not really started in
them, the problem of school dresses
is n most important one. for the Peter
Thompson suit which has so long been
standby has begun to lose its charm.
and dresses of more pronounced trend
toward fashion are quite as practical
for school wear. observes a writer in
the Christian Science Monitor.
This year the dresses designed for
the girl between ten and fifteen-these
ages are approximate, of course-are
particularly attractive. and their SIM
plicity will recommend them to the
mother who dislikes seeing her daugh-
ter wearing frocks that tend even
slightly TO seem more fashionable than

and she had not asked any. One or
two postcards she had had from Beu-
lab, but they brought no great infor-
nation. They came in the open mail ::
her husband was welcome to read
them if he chose. but as he had sought
his own company exclusively since
Beulah's departure she made no at
tempt to force them upon him.
At last one morning came letter,
a big fat letter, left in by neighbor
passing by, as the custom was for any
settler going to town to bring out the
mail for those who lived along his
route. She tore the envelope open
nervously and devOured its contents
with hungry eyes.
MY Dear Mother:
Here 1 am, in the shadow of the
Rockies. That may sound poetical,
but it's !, literal fact. 1t is still early
in the evening, but the sun has disap-
peared behind the great masses tic the
west, and the valley which my win
dow overlooks is filling up with black
ness. The Arthurs are pure gold, and
| have told them everything. They
don't blame anyone, not even father.
How is he? Shaving as usual, 1 sup
pose.
"Well, I must tell you about my
trip. When left the house that night
l had no idea where l was going. but
the simplest thing seemed to be to 90
first to Plainville
you've no idea how heavy that
suitcase got, but I took my time, as
there was nothing to gain by reaching
town before daylight When I got
there it struck me it might be a good
plan to have some breakfast, so /
walked round to Goodies boarding
house. After breakfast l went over
TO the station, and asked what the
fare was to Arthurs' station; found
l had enough money for the trip, and
I bought a ticket without further ado.
'The homestead rush is on here in
earnest; the trains are crowded, most
ly with Americans, and the hotels are
simply spi1ling over.
81 wanted to ask some one about
Arthurs, and l didn't like to inquire
in the hotel. There was a lot of
drinking going on there. But near
the door were two young men talking
and | overheard one of them mention
Arthurs' name. Pulling myself to-
gether, | asked him if he could tell me
where Arthurs lived.
"'Yes, MISS he answered, lifting a
big hat and showing when he spoke a
clean set of teeth. It's twenty-five
miles up the river. We're you expect

drop in on them by surprise, but had
had no idea they lived so far from

grew more and more hostile. He re-
solved, however, that there should be
no open breach between them; he
would neither scold nor question her,
but would impress her with his dis
pleasure by adopting a cold, matter-of-
fact, speak-When-yOu're -spoken-to atti-
tude toward her.
Under the circumstances it was not
remarkable that Harris work began
to loom larger than ever in his life.
The space left vacant by his daughter
he filled with extra energy driving the
great plows through the mellow sum
mer-fallow. A new tank-man was en-
gagged and the rumble of the engine
was heard up and down the fields from
early morning until dark. From his
wife he held aloof, speaking with
strained courtesy when speech was
necessary. She. in turn, schooled for
years in self-effacement, hid her sor-
row in her heart, and went about her
work with a resignation which he mis-
took for cheerfulness, and which con-
firmed him in his opinion that she
knew more of Beulah's intentions than
she had cared to admit. Only with
Allan his relations remained IN
changed; indeed, the alta hment be-
tween the two grew deeper than ever.
The young man avoided any reference
to Reulah; what he felt in his own
heart he kept to himself, but the father
shrewdly guessed that he laid the
whole blame on Travers.
Meanwhile Mary plodded along with
her housework, toiling doggedly from
five in the morning until half-past nine
or ten at night. Beulah's departure

Furs That Are Best Liked

this season it is the fancy Of the best
designers to dye this fur, not only
black, which has been the accepted
color in the past, but any of the gray
and tan and brown shades to harmon
ize with the color of the material with
which it Is combined.
The fur sets that are designed to be
worn with suits have very slight neck
pieces and muffs. They are mere ac-
cents for the collars and cuffs and the
smartest of them do not attempt to be
of the cape variety, the matching
muffs keeping the small, regularly
rounded shape that is always the ac-
cepted thing for muff at any time.
Indeed, the high prices to which furs
have assembled make this fashion for
restraint in their use almost a grim
necessity. Happily the necessity In
the background has created a fashion
which could not be better looking IL
it tried. Under the circumstances, any
attempt at lavishness would be, to say
the least, out of place
