used is a heavy gray wool perlaine,
which really Is a sort of glOrifed
cheviOt, very woody and thick. Then
the border, which is the mark of dis
tinctiOn, is done in a pattern cut out
of red flannel and edged with a band
ing Of narrow black fur. 1t competes
most unsatisfactory, beyond a doubt,
with any dress Sr coat of the day.
and there is no denying the fact that,
| for some women and for some oc-
casions, the suit is the very best sort
of attire that can be found.
Moreover, the suit is peculiarly be-
cOming-especially this sort of dressy
French suit. There is a slimness and
chic about it which cannot be ap-
preached by any other combination of
outdoor clothes. And there are GER
tain women, no matter what the gen.
eral trend of fashion may be, who
will stick to this expression through
every change.
Has Full and Loose Sleeves.
This suit has the full and loose
sleeves which characterize the latest
frocks. 1t has the rather long peplum
for the coat, which brings 1t into the
street-dress class, and 1t has the high
collar which, most certainly, is one of
the distinguished features of the out
door dresses of the present time.
They say that in Paris the muff has
been revived and received with great
avidity this winter season.. If so, we
may look for it as a salient part of our
next winters fashions. Certainly it
adds a touch to a suit of this sort
which cannot be gained in any other
way, and 1t provides, too, that sug-
gestion of warmth without which the
suit would be totally impractical.
Another model is a street dress,
or coat dress, as they are sometimes
called. 1t is made from a checked
blue and red velour with patches of
embroidery for trimming. The back
ground of the material Is a dark
blue, and then the check of red runs
through it outlined by fine pin stripe.
The embroidery is done with dark.
rich tones upon blue background.
The cuffs on this dress are its
center of interest, for they give that
width to the silhouette at the place
where 1t is most necessary If the model
Is to take a notable place in the
fashions Of the day. Sleeves of this
character are more or less hard to
manage gracefully, but when one ac-
quires the trick of the thing the re-
suit more than pays for the trouble
involved in learning. Except with a
privileged few, the management of big
sleeves does not come as a natural
born right. More clumsiness can be
exhibited in this respect than In many
others. But once their handling has
become a secure thing in ones mind,
why then there follows a satisfaction
in wearing the garment which is a
total surprise.
Use New and Lovely Fabrics.
For the newer frocks they are using
new and the loveliest of fabrics. In
stead of the usual serge there is a
French material, woven by Rodier,
called kasha cloth. 1t Is a material
with the weave of cashmere and the
surface of clipped camel's hair
fabric.

toriouS Band of Fashionable
Berlin Robbers.
LOOT OVER MILLION DOLLARS
Every Step of Police investigation Of
Gang Results in Fresh Sensa-
tionaI Disclosures - Eight
Are in Custody.

Berlin.-White slave traffic, the
morphia habit and the practice of
blackmail were joined to theft, fraud
and kleptomania in the "Danse Maca-
bre" of the band of Berlin shOplifters
led by "Dashing Dora"
Every step of the police investiga-
tion of the activities of this gang,
suits in fresh sensational disclosures.
Several members of the band plead
that they are addicted to the drug
habit and are not responsible for their
acts. Mrs. Forester, one of Dora's
"dashing" daughters, is in the hospital,
suffering from mOrphia poison. Her
husband was arrested as he was in
the act of concealing stolen property
valued at several thousand pounds.
Louise Morvilius, her sister, has
been released from custody in order
that she may go to her sick child,
but not before she had confessed to
the police that for years she has been
a white slave for her husband, Frank
Morvilius, who is director of the Ger
man disposal board.
Further raids have been made by
the police on the luxurious homes of
"Dashing Dora" and her accomplices,
and the enormous pile of stolen goods
at Charlottenberg police station has
received considerable addition.
Confiscate Bank Accounts.
The bank accounts Of the gang,
which amount to many thousands Of
pounds, have been confiscated.
Morvilius has pleaded that his
mother-in-law is the victim of klep-
tomania.
1t has been alleged against MOrvil-
ius that he heavily bribed the police
in order to avoid arrest.
Members of the gang, who were
caught with 100000 worth of stolen
goods in their possession, have ter
rorized the largest Berlin luxury
stores for many years, and their dep
relations are estimated to exceed ST.

have made themselves popular with

The suit has suffered a decline
which 1t does not at all like. This
sort Of garment has been accustomed
to be the first choice of woman for
so many seasons that it now resents
being pushed into the background as
secondary consideration, after the
coat and dress have had their fling.
The suit shows a tendency to step
out of the hackneyed class, and to
demonstrate itself an individual gar
ment along with all the rest Of the
productions of the season. The fabric

Many Different Ways in Which

man USES HABITS OF BEES
Earthworms Drag Leaves Into Their
Burrows to Provide Food and
Comfort for Winter-Why
Honey Is Stored.

New York.-There are many differ
ent ways in which animals meet the
winter. Many go into winter quarters
and, reducing their expenditure to
minimum, lie low until the spring calls
them again to action. Others, like the
wolves, continue to live dangerously,
simply sharpening their wits and in
creaSing the keenness of, their hunt
ing. Some, like the ermine and the
ptarmigan, don a white dress, which
is both safe and comfortable.
Others solve the problem by a
change in Enthusiastically the migra-
tory birds. There are several other
solutions of the problem and one OF
these is to lay up stores, to hoard,
to save. Many animals do this inside
their bodies.
Habit Is Acquisitive.
A beginning of storing may be
looked for perhaps in activities like
those of earthwOrms, which collect
leaves and drag them down into their
burrows, at once making them more
comfortable and providing a supply
of food for a rainy day. 1t is surely
the acquisitive habit that they have,
these earthworms, for more than four
score leaflets were taken from one
burrOw.
With insects we find an inclined
plane of storing that leads up to the
climax Illustrated by hive bees and
by some of the ants. Among the
solitary bees the mother makes a
store for the brood which she never
survives to see; among humble bees
the store is begun by the mother, but
continued by her worker children, and
in some kinds at least a part of the
society survives the winter; in some
societies and imperfect combs; in the
hive bees there are permanent societies
and perfect combs.
The elaborate storing Of hive bees,
carried to such perfection under mems
care, is, to begin with, connected with
surviving the winter-i. e., with per-
manence, and with the survival of the
mothers ere their offspring grow up,
1. e., with the possibility of social
tradition.
1t is impossible to think of storing
without a vision of Solomon's ant,
which, having no guide, overseer, or
ruler prOvideth her meat in the sum-
ner and gathereth her food in the
harvest" And, as among bees, we find
all grades among ants from those that
do not store at all to those that make
Il fine art of 1t.
According to recent studies of the
common Mediterranean harvesting
ant, the seeds which are collected are
kept for a time dry and are eventually
put out in the rain to germinate. This
has the advantage of bursting the
hard seed coats and in some cases of
starting processes of fermentation.
At a certain stage however, the
ants kill the embryo plant by biting
at it, and the seeds are dried again in
the sun. The dried seeds of some
rloverlike plants. for instance, are
then taken back into the nest and
chewed into dough. This is dried once
again in the sun in the form of little
biscuits, which are eventually put into
the cupboard.
