Never has there been a better 'sult
year." as they have It in the vernacu-
lar Of the shops. The weather has
been Just right--not too warm and not
too cold. And just at this time, says
New York fashion correspondent,
one sees the neweSt creations In the
way of winter suits and all-the-year-
round suits and fancy suits and plain
suits. After few weeks have passed
the general horizon" will again be
dotted with varieties Of top coats and
fur wraps, etc.. bat right at this min
ute the popular trend Is all in the d.
rection of the suit. Then here Is the
psychological moment to study the
suit, for the forward marching ones
are setting the styles for many months
to come and the little variances which
they show are the ones that are des-
tined to live. Thus does the wary
woman plan her dressing, so that
when she buys there will be no dan
ger Of her becoming the proud posses
sor Of style that has seen its day.
Then again we have such encourag-
ing news by way of bargain announce
ments that prices are much below
those of last winter. A suit that re-
tailed last winter for about $125 sells
this year for between $65 and S75.
And 1t is not the same suit, either. but
one that has the same value as the
one Of last year-not the same style
points, remember. There Is no doubt
%h.k hot al
high price of clothes questiOn-and
the high price Of suits is one OF the
first columns to be touched by the
beautiful decline.
Duvetyn Family In the Lead.
A critical observance of all Of the
best-dressed women about town dis
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 woolly 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
the wooden velours and the silk We
lours and the velours that are made
Of a clever combination Of the two
sorts of thread. The latter, they say,
wears better than all the rest put to-
gether. 1t does not show that evil
characteristic Of mating into mashed
spot at the place where the suit IS
subjected to rubbing. However so fine
and we'll made are most Of these piled
fabrics that when MASKING does occur
1t can very easily be removed by a
little judicious steaming.
The colors Of these newest of fab
RIGS are perhaps their greatest charm,
Tor 1t has been many years since we
women have been able to indulge In
such subtleties of color expression.
All the way from the brightest and
most glowing of shades to those that
are verify neutral In their effect Is the
range of color tones, and while most
| of the suits run to browns or to one
of the numerous taupe shades, still
there are some made from the gor
geous blue and green tones that make
up so well with the gray furs and 9th

chilly blasts In many winters gone by.
Some Of the coats are fitted quite
snugly, following the lines of the ag-
ure, and then again many Of them are
made full enough to make tightish
belt necessary to gather the fullness
together about the waist.
There is one exception to the longer
coat, and that Is the little box coat,
which has to be short In order to carry
out its character. 1t reaches high

ais, as 1t Is little more outdoors In
style than are some Of the other cuts.
One particularly smart box coat had
rather narrow rolled collar of bea-
yer with pockets Of the same fur set
on the extreme edge Of the coat, so
.hat they looked more like a wide
binding for the coat than they did like
conventional pockets.
Skirts Are Quite Short.
From all the skirts that could be
noticed the conclusion was drawn that
they are stirl 'in our midst" and, all

be called too short for beauty Of pro-
portion, but, be that as 1t may, the
, longer skirt as yet looks out of place
in and around New York. The widths
Of the skirts are still moderate, and
they are as straight as can be In line

Is astonishing to see how far back an

Trimmings, of course, are the impor-
tant features of any new winter offer
ings in the way Of suits, for trimmings
are necessary In order to keep up the
warmth of the proposition, and wheth-
err they are In the form of trimmings
that are permanently attached or
whether they are the popular fur sets,
still they become part of that suit.
The shorter furs are the ones that are
receiving the most attention.
Furs That Are Liked.
Beaver and nutria and mole are the
ones that are best liked for collars and
cuffs on the brown and taupe shades
Of duvetyn, and their colors blend 30
very tremendously with the shades of
those favorite materials. The longer
haired furs, as far as suits are con-
cerned, have sunk into the back
ground Just now. All of the suits
have that slick look that Is out Of
key with the longer and more irregu-
| lar looking skins. Astrachan and
Kr'mmer are very popular, and these
furs are particularly lovely when they
are combined with the rich dull-red
shades. Baby lamb has sprung into
favor for this sort Of trimming, and
this season II 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.
fxe with the color Of the m, erial with
which It II combined.
The fur sets that are designed to be
worn with suits have very slight neck
pieces and NUNS. They are mere &C

warehouses. the preparation Of crops

An organization founded on dire
need with a well-defined purpose has
the best chances Of success. Farmers
who are satisfied with the results OBJ
tanned without an organization do not
feel Heed for an association. Neces-
sity for an organization may arise
from the lack Of marketing facilities,
or from dissatisfaction with existing
agencies. When cooperative mar
keting association is under considera-
tion II is advisable to have pre-
iiminary survey made by competent
local people or by experienced coop
erative organization specialists from
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, whose advice and services
are available upon request. In max
ing such survey care should be taken
to ascertain the need for an organiza-
ton, the attitude of the farmers to-
ward such an undertaking. and the APP
proximate development Of business

Manager 10 Keystone.
The manager Is the keystone Of the
organization. His selection is OF the
utmost importance. He should be ex-
perienced In marketing the line Of
products intrusted to his care; he
should possess tact and good judy
ment, and be honest and above sus-
picion. The success of the organiza-
tlon depends upon his ability to meet
the members and the trade with which
the organization deals. and to retain
their confidence. He should possess
the proper qualifications for the posi-
tion; he should be given broad powers
and the hearty support Of the men,
