They are sonnet thing like
"chonga" which we had last
year, but are much improved.
Black will again be the leading
color with a very dark. brown
next, and green will come IN
for third place. There will be
a few dark reds and practically
no light colors.
Furs Contrast
The furs will offer the great
est contrast and interest and
with the exception of many
women's coats of black with
black furs, most coats will have
fur in a contrasting color. Short
haired furs such as caracul and
seal will no doubt take the
lead early in the season,
though the fox family will be
represented and will become
more popular by mid-winter.
The dark brown furs such as
Jap mink will also be popular.
Collars and cuffs will be made
in every imaginable manner
that is flattering and becom-
ing. There will be Scarfs,
jabots. revers, shawl collars
and Hawaiian leis of fur. But
all of them will stand away
from the face and form a be-
coming frame. Cuffs will be
flared, pouch shaped, or in a
band of fur that curves up
to the elbow. Many of them
will use buttons. Most of the
sports coats are belted, and
most Of the dress coats are
not, though that is not a rule.

some coats from the August
sales that will illustrate these
points. If you want more in

at the coats included in the
August coat sales, you will un-
doubtedly be impressed and
will want one of the new coats.
These coats are the climax of
the development of fashions
that were introduced two years
ago, and have just now reached
their best. They are smart
looking and becoming. Further
inducements this year are the
fact that prices are down so

All Goats Longer

The lines of the new coats
are not much changed, but the
changes are essential, and make
all the difference in the world
in the way you look in the
coats. All the coats are fitted
through the h pline and
slightly fitted through the
waist but not extremely so.
They wrap further over than
eyer, some of them over to the
underarm seam. All the new
coats are little longer. not
more than one or two inches,
but enough longer to make
your last winters coat look a
little short. The silhouette is
just a bit straighter and makes
you look simmer. Sleeves have
great Importance and often are
the greatest variety introduced
into the coat. They may be
open at the wrist and flared,
or they may have "leg-of-mut-
ton" look. The dolman sleeve
has been Much talked about
but has actually appeared only
in modified form.

10,778,794 women were gainfully en-
ployed in 1880 which is gain of 26
per cent in ten years. This change
has come despite increased earning
power of males in the family. Dur

American Notes.
Upon his return from a brief visit
in the United States-where he at
tended the International Y. M. c. A.
congress-Bishop Edward Rodhe Of
Lund, Sweden, says that what i'm
pressed him most in America was the
immensely of things; also the con-
sistent Standardization of industry.
AS for prohibition he said: "They are
worried about it. and the anti-alco-
holic laws are being quite openly vio-
lated, but 1 believe the system will
remain in force for another 10 or 20
years; personally, saw no liquor any,
where" In regard to the economic
depression the bishop thought that
social work was less efficiently or
ganized than in Europe, and he
thought it pretty tragical that peo-
pie actually starve in the wealthiest
country on earth"

SCHOOL NOTES

On account of the very heavy en-
"a students, it became necessary to
relieve the badly crowded conditions
by engaging another member in the
high school faculty. This, the board
of education did Saturday evening,
when they elected Miss Vivian Mac
Adams of Pine City, as extra high
school teacher. Miss MacAdams en-
tered upon her duties Immediately
Monday morning, and the high school
began to operate under its new plan.
1t is interesting to realize that this
extra school expense is not placed
upon the taxpayers of the ASkov dis
trict, but is more than covered by
state aid, which is received for the
eleven high school students who en-
tered from without the district.
Prospective high school students
are requested to enter upon their
work no later than Monday, Oct. 5,
unless by special arrangement with
the school. Therefore all enrollments
should be completed by that time.
Basket ball schedules with other
high schools in this district are being
arranged promising a big program of
inter-high school games for this sea-
son.
Other extra-curricular activities of
the Askov high school during this
session will be declamatory contest,
debate, and glee club. In all of these
the school will participate in the state
contest.
