The tailored suit is about the most
adaptable piece of property in the
wardrobe; at home in any cline and
rarely out Of place in any gathering.
Clever women understand how the
addition of the right accessories make
it fit in with almost any sort of back
ground and this is valuable knOwl-
edge for the woman who travels.
A suit that is to do duty anywhere
should be made Of any of the all-year-
round wooden goods, as serge, gabar-
dine, Poiret TWILL broadcloth and the
like. If it is simply and smartly made
so much the better-it lends itself
readily to different Furnishings and
matches up with them. For mild eli
mates and warm weather lace collar
and cuff sets add daintiness and rich
ness to the tailored coat.
Collar and cuff sets of fur stand
ready to fOrtify the same suit that
has rejoiced in the company of lace,

PENNIES GROW INTO NOTES
interesting Connection Between the
Extremes of Currency in Conn.,
monwealth of Australia.

Toward the end of each year pen
MES and halfpennies go by the hun
dred thousand into Australian chill
dren's money boxes and are held back
by big business firms in anticipation
of the coming inflow of customers.
To cope with the demand, the Sgd
ney and Melbourne minis have been
steadily at work since June last year.
In four months 100000 new pennies
and 100000 new halfpennies were sent
into circulation in Victoria alone. 1t
is equally interesting TO note that half
the total commonwealth note issue
consists of f1,0 900 notes, of which there
are more than $4,000 notes in circu-
lation, as against the 10000 odd f100
notes. There are about 13,500,000 FL
notes, and the total commonwealth
note issue is stated as f55, 269,719. In
a vigorous young commonwealth the
connection between the $1,000 note
and the newly minted copper in the

imagine.
