COATS
of Rich Fabrics

To say that. Fall Coats are l-2-3-4 with sub
heads A-B-C-D, would be most dull way of
relating feature story, but the new Goats are
so decidedly different and varied that tabula-
ton must almost be resorted to, to express
even their salient characteristics. Veyr fashion
able is the silhouette with rippled skirt and
fitted bodice haughtily high collared, and an
other popular mode inspired by the Russian
blouse has full sleeves and back and belted
front. Deep pile fabrics worked up with fur
form an exquisite combination.

Fall Ways
Of the New Frocks

Loose panels nonchalantly fling all cares to the
wind once it is determined that they are to
drop below the skirt, an irregular hemline
being the very A.B.C. Of smart Fall Frocks.
And sleeves, too, wide and flowing. set in
very deep armholes. But sleeves and panels
are Fall Frocks only eccentricities otherwise
they are most conservative affairs; straight
skirts, wide bodices and one-side fastenings.
Coat Dresses, fur-banded and chemise Frocks
dominate swagger street modes Afternoon
Dresses use draperies to charming advantage.

SUITS
Smartly Tailored

Today you can choose a Suit to wear all Fall.
Regardless of what Paris may know about
gowns. what London may know about top
coats and sport toys, will gainsay the
fact that American designers know best how
to make and American women know best how
to wear. the strict Tailleur. The smartest suits
of previous seasons never had such exquisite
embroidery, such perfection in line and
tailoring.

E. TSSSE3 is taken from
!: NST.&s&sG%Y the Sierra
~EYAI> N e adas,
those lofty mountains which sep
arate the State from California.
Most of the history of the state
centers in this Western section,
near the Sierras. and 1t is here
that all of Nevaja's principal
cities are located.
The first white man to cross
the present state was the Fran.
ciscan Monk, Father Cares, who
made his way across the deserts
TO California In 1r75. In 1925
Peter S. Ogden of the Hudson's
Boy company discovered the
Humboldt river, which is some
times called Ogden river after
him.
The next memorable trip
across the state was that by
Fremont In 1S43, when he went
to California at the time of the
outbreak of the Mexican war.
1t was this war which In 1S4S
resulted In Mexico ceding large
area to the United States, of
which Nevada was part. When
this was organized into terri
tories, the Territory of Utah ex- .
tended to California. The West
ern inhabitants, however, were /.
left to their own resources and !.
accordingly organized their own |
government. Resenting the at (.
titude of Utah they petitioned !.
10 be annexed to California. I.
In 1859 the Comstock Loue
was discovered and Nevada had !
its own mining boom. Popula-
tion Immediately grew by leaps
and bounds and in 1861 Nevada
was formed into a separate ter
ritory. Later, poruons Of Utah
were added and the lower part I:
Of the state was taken from Ari-
IONA. Petitions for statehood i.
were made but IL was not until
1864 that Nevada became the +!
thirty-sixth state of the Union. |
Though Nevada ranks sixth /.
In size with its area of 110,69O
square miles, 1t has the smallest
population of any of the AZ I
states. Between 1900 and 1900 .
there was a marked decrease in
the population due TO the falling
off of mining industry.

Queer Notion Held by Old Wssh
White Common to Many lnves-
tors, According to Lawyer.

At dinner In New York the other
day a prominent lawyer noted for
his activities In rounding up invest
ment swlndlers told the following
good story:
ats pitlfuI to see how foolish n
great many people are when II comes
to question of finance.
"old Wash White is good exam
pie of financial foolishness. When
Wash's boss got back TO the Delta
from the North one day. he found the
old man driving fine young mule
hitched to n handsome wagon.
"Now. Wash was notorlously
shiftless customer. and so his boss
said TO him:
"'Where did you get that splendid
turnout. Washington
".Ah done boughten It at Magnolia
sah,' said Wash.
allow much did II cost your
"'Ah done give nah note fo' 500

"'Good gracious said the boss,
where do you expect TO get 500 to
