HeKnitted Costume

Channels recent exhibition OF
beautiful models were of great in
terest to American buyers cater
ing to youthful so-called sports
wear styles. None was disappoint-
ed at the showing, ss about four
fifths of the collection sounded
this note.
She is giving great prominence
to knitted suits, sweaters and
coats of the Fair Island type, but
made in France and largely pro-
duced in the Russian ouvroirs.
This is not a new line for Chanel,
as she previously has made great
feature of the sweater bodice. Now
she goes further in showing the
knitted suit with fancy knitted
coat and also a full length coat,
made from colorful yarns, hand
knitted into most intricate pct
terms looking like brocade or tap
estry. The knitted jacket often
accompanies a skirt which is knit
ted or it is shown with a skirt OF
crepe de chine or sheer wool ere
pella or kasha serge.
Long Coats Knitted.
A distinct feature are the fine
knife plaitings on these skirts.
Some of them are plated all the
way around, and others acrosJ
front and sides, or again they may
have a quaint little plated apron
panel. These straight plated
skirts are extremely youthful in
appearance. and keep the skirt
narrow in effect, despite the easy
fullness necessary for sports wear.
A big novelty is the full length
coat OF the Fair Island type. It Is
frightfully expensive, and however
attractive one wonders il many
women will feel inclined to invest.
Moving away from the knitted
sports suit Chanel shows many lit.
tie tailleurs which may serve for
town wear IS well as out-of-door
sports. These are in lovely colors,
notably almond green, warm tany.
and navy blue. with touches of red
and white. Many of these models
have solidly embroidered jacket,
and again the skirt is covered with
embroidery and the jacket plain.
These embroidered dresses have
hats to match.
Some beaded effects were noted
in her tailored suits. She has one
in navy blue serge with n jacket
solidly beaded in steel and copper
metal. Sometimes her emhroid-
ered and bcaded jackets arc shown
with skirts having scany flounces
edged with the bead or the en-
broidery.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS Rv EvesAerirk Houk Law
Morgan RobertsOn
By Frederick Houk Law

Our own times have seen two of our leading writers rise from the humble position of common sailor before the mast; one, poet, John Masefield, the other short story writer, Morgan Robertson. Both men wrote with immense vigor. with unusual originality and with the most striking effect, as though they caught from the sea some of its dash and greatness. Both achieved imm ediate popular favor.
 Morgan Robertson. whose short stories so appeal to all who like vigor and originality. went to sea when he was a little over fifteen years old. At first he was merely a cabin boy, the butt and the pride of the ship. as circumstances happened to make him. The little cabin boy had in him the good as Masters of Men," that he wrote later, and he soon made a name for himself that lifted him from being a mere cabin boy to that of being mate. and having com mand of others. He became skill ful in all the work of the vessel, and for some nine years lived the rough life of a seaman. All this rich experience he made use of some twenty years later when he wrote his many sea stories such as Spun Yarn" "Shipmates" and Down to the Sea-" In these sto- ries he put on paper the very sea itself, and the elemental life of the sailors. His memory of de- tail was both accurate and clear, and he had a power to make what he described seem real.
 Morgan Robertson's work as a writer came about almost by ac- cident. He had left the sea. and had found work in New York City with a diamond setter. He was ingenius in the use of tools, and might have kept at some mechani- cal work except for the fact that he found he was earning less money than he needed. He had amused people by telling them stories of the sea. They had ad- vised him to write them down and send them to magazines. He did this, found his stories &C., cepted and popular, and then con- tinued to write until the day of his death.
 His interest in life, his power of imagination, his directness and simplicity. united with a sort of sea-power, made all that he wrote most Interesting reading. Un- consciously, he had trained to be a writer of stories when he was only wide-awake, observant cabin boy.

also of vision and thinking power. The membership has been growing at the rate of 4,000 a year and there are now 53,000 bona fide members out of city population of 100000. Three hundred and sixty thousand books were circulated in the past eight months.
 Few are aware of the service which the library extends to manufacturers and other business interests. There is mass of exact information at the library bearing on commerce, cus- toms, shipping routes, climatic condi- tions and an endless chain of facts of value to business men in one way and another. This data is aptly cata- logued and the librarians so adept in laying hands on any kind of informa- tion sought that business men make more and more use of the library. Scores of young men and women are rounding out their capacity to get ahead by reading books bearing on their occupations. The public library becomes more and more important in the life of the people as the demand for exact knowledge increases, and that is growing all the time.

A NEEDLESS TRAGEDY

Another case of locking the door
 after the horse is stolen, as result
 of which several persons are killed and
 scores injured in great city. The
 tragedy on the elevated street railway at Brooklyn appears to have been caused by faulty rails either in the making or adjustment. Who is to blame? The municipal authorities with power of control over both con- struction and operation of the system. The company was operating wooden cars that had been in use for three decades. That was in itself fragrant disregard of the public safety. The municipal authorities, busily engaged in politics and serenely negligent of their duties in properly inspecting and rejecting inadequate and unsafe equip ment, apparently manifested little in- terest in the situation until many peo- pie were killed and injured. Then they got busy and undertook to shift the blame. and issued numerous state

ments in efforts to escape public cen-

ments in efforts to escape public cen- sure.
 Such tragedies are repeatedly occur ring in many cities and towns. On the same day that witnessed the Brooklyn catastrophe dozens of peo- pie were injured when the grand stand at pleasure park in Dallas, Texas, collapsed. A little forethought, some determination to perform public duty, and such accidents could in large measure be avoided. But building po- litical fences takes precedence over the public safety and the public vel fare, and victims of exploitation by greedy utilities and negligent muni- cipal authorities rapidly multiply. Such is life in the average American city. The lessons of one do not seem to help another. The stable never seems to be locked until after the horse has been stolen.

CAPITAL UNDERWRITERS COAL

The underwriting of the merger of the Corona, Empire and DeBardeleben coal companies by Drexel and Con- pany, Cassat and Company and Gra- ham, Parsons and Company, three of the strongest banking investment com panies of the East, is speaking testi- mony of the recognition which the in- dustrial and financial world has ac- corded successful raw material devel- opment in Alabama and is testimony also to the ability of Southern men who have wrought this development. The properties have been bodied up, opened, operated and expanded by Alabama men. They command large steam, commercial and domestic trade in Alabama and adjacent states, and large bunker and export trade facili- ties at Mobile, Pensacola and New Or leans. The DeBardeleben interests have extended operations still further, their coal going to Texas ports through ocean-going barges out of Mobile.
 The underwriters have further shown their confidence in these South ern industrial developers by agreeing to the continuance of the head of one of them as chief executive of the merged concern. The possibilities of operations of the combined interests are almost limitless. With trade ten tacles already reaching throughout the Southeast and for export, and with mines equally adapted for shipment by rail or water, there is opportunity for a successful development which will make this one of the largest coal con- cerns in the United States. When Lock Is near Cordova is built it will shoot navigable water into the heart of the Empire coal basin and open up an immense virgin coal territory for shipment of coal from river bank mines. This means coal delivered at lowest cost at Mobile and New Or leans and thence for export as well as for supply of the ships putting in at Southern ports.
 The deal marks that new era in the Birmingham district where attainment is reaping its reward. The pioneer period has passed. The East is the readier to finance and invest in South ern industrial properties now because they are successful going concerns with all the tests made and all the problems solved. To the credit of our Southern men, be it said, the tests have been made and the problems solved by them.

JOHN-A-DREAMS


pity the woman who has a dream of enforced silence.
 It means, first, that she has done. or will do, a wrong and that all her thoughts thereafter will be centered on the means of conceal ing her act and of evading it's enforced silence means that no amount of caution will avail. Like the voice of judgment, 1t trum- pets into her ear the messages that she will be accused. and that. unless she cares to add the vice of lying to the hrm she has all ready done, she will be unable to answer or defend herself.
 If the wrong has not been done and If 1t Is still to be committed, 1t is barely possible that the dream may be a warning instead of a conviction. This depends, of course. upon the accompanying in- cidents. If. for instance, the sleeper seems to be in the pres ence of people who are smiling or laughing while she is vainly struggling for speech, then she is told that by scrapping the under hand plans and vicious ideas which have of late filled her mind. and by not following in the direction in which she has been going, she may yet avoid the calamity of be- ing found guilty of something that may blight her entire life.
 It may mean that she can still save herself. Let me know if you dream Of enforced silence and like wise tell me something about your life, and by all means your age, so that may make the interpreta- tion fit your particular case These dreams contain so serious a message that I would warn all those who have them not to brush them aside lightly.
