The jackets rival fabric
coats in detailing. They have
shawl collars, big "fan" col
lars, scarfs and capes. Some
have revers, one-sided or the
button up, Bruyere type
which we've mentioned be-
, fore. Many have peplums.
Some end at the Waistllne
and blouse above the tightly
drawn belt, some extend
snugly over the hips with
seams or a belt to place the
waistline. Elaborate sleeves
complete the coats, and the
dolman and modified leg-of-
mutton, as well as cuff
modes, are popular. The col
larless bolero is new.
A great variety of flat
furs and combinations of
furs are shown in these
coats. Lapins, sometimes
with a collar stencilled
to represent the spots Of a
leopard, kid, galyak, kid gal
yak, and sheared lamb are
among those most commonly
seen. Sometimes we find
furs combined with fabrics
in smart models. The colors
are as versatile and surpris-
ing as the silky furs. Beige,
grey, sun tint, rose beige,
with many tones of brown
and, of course, black. Fur
is the acme of elegance in
fashion, and a fur jacket
glorifies the costume Of
which it is a part.

It was hard to believe that
the fluffy pink thing the
saleswoman showed us was
a sweater, but it was, and
only one Of many others Of
the same ilk. They are
simply delicious, knitted of
fine, sh eer woods and
zephyrs, lacy enough for
dresden china lady to wear.
It's simply wonderful the
way they can knit them
now, the things they can do
with wool and silks and
tinsel threads. All of them
pull over, except, of course,
the old reliable coat sweaters
that are jackets by rights
and treated so in this sup
plement. And it seems that
a sweater can do anything a
blouse can, for they are
shown with demure, turn
back collars, little cuffs,
ruffled effects( knitted that
way), belts and cascading
jabots! Most of them have
purled bottoms that fit
snugly at the hip line and
give the sweater soft,

The spring weight fur
jacket is fashions latest con-
ceit.
Queen Victoria's little
jacket has been re-incarnated
in the new fur jacket that we
will wear this spring. But
in furs so fine, so cunningly
manipulated that the Vic
torians would have had to
feel it to believe it fur. Furs,
treated like fabrics, create a
perfectly delightful mode.
1t is an especially happy
fashion for evening, this
short jacket, for with long
skirts it is much more grace
full than the longer coat.
Then there's something so
luxurious in the contrast Of
rich fur and the shimmering
sheerness of the evening
gown.
In this mode we find lit
tie capes that are hardly
more than collars (like the
''tippet" that Victoria her
self wore, perhaps), deeper
shoulder capes, sleeveless
jackets with cape collars,
and modern editions of the
"paletots" which were good
a year or so ago. Glorious
ermine, naturally, is en-
ployed with gorgeous effect,
but sheared lapin is inde-
scribably beautiful and much

bloused effect. The diff
feYent stitches are too nu-
merous to mention, but the
sweaters in this year of
lace, are lacy, sheer, and
they fit with the flattering
precision of a blouse. Nat
urally they follow blouses
in colors, pastels for some
occasions and the Arabian
and Algerian tones for the
"sportier" kind. We find
them with long sleeves, short
sleeves and sleeveless, and if
they aren't the most popu-
lar things in the fashion line

that said: "Ermine for the
matron and lapin for the
debutante?" Lapin is espe-
cially soft and easy to work
with. 1t may be stenciled,
too, in most attractive de-
signs, an art that has just
been discovered. M ole,
sheared lamb and other flat
furs are used for evening
wraps. We find these coats
in white, black and pastels
that make you thank the
dyers for their ingenuity.

more significant than their two names set together on this title- page.
 AS he conresses in the preface to a privately printed catalogue of the collection, MT Altschuls interest in Meredith grew out of an undergrad uate curiosity as to the original of Diana of the Crossways," that lady of high distinction for wit and beau ty, the daughter of an illustrous Irish House, who came under the shadow of a calumny.' So he traced Dinan Warwick in the career of Mrs Caroline Norton, the brilliant grand daughter of Richard Brinsley Sheri- dan, collecting her novels and her poems, her manuscripts and letters. So to lesser degree he traced the Alvon of The Tragic Comedians in the career of Ferdinand Lasalle. MT Altschul's collection of Meredith is unrivaled, but it is this fine, inte1li- gent interest in Meredith and the ma terials with which he worked that has made the collection of peculiar value to the library and its scholars

New Haven, Conn. June 11-Yale university announced to-day that Frank AItschul, sO8, of New York city, chairman of the trustees of the Yale Library associates, has given to the university library, an "un- rivalled collection of George Mere dith." The collection, Professor An- drew Keogh, university librarian said, contains the first editions of all of Meredith's books; original manuscripts, including the complete manuscript of ''The Tragic Come dians," and more than 150 letters covering every phase of Meredith's career. It will be on exhibition in the Sterling Memorial library from Sunday, June IA. through June 27.
 "The chief glory of the Altschul collection is it's original manu- ment says. s.it includes the com plete manuscript of The Tragic Comedians (1sS0) written on 259 pages; seventeen chapters Q-XVI and xIX) and earlier drafts of these and other chapters of "A Con- queror of Our Times which was to be called One of Our Conquerors' (1S91); 108 pages of an early un- published version of The Amazing Marriage; and the typewritten man. uscript of Alfred Sutro's dramati- zation of The Egoist' (1898), elab- orately altered by Meredith with pages of new dialogue in his own hand. To these are added the man uscript of short story, The Friend of an Engaged Couple dated 1862, although apparently it was never published, and the manuscript of a number of poems: Creed a very early poem and unpublished; an al- formative reading of stanza TX of aThe Appeasement of Demeter' (1SS7), with Meredith's proof of the poem; Earth and a Welded Wo- man (1888); 'Jump-to-Glory Jane (1SS9); The Sage Enamoured and the Honest Lady and the three fragments and The Lesson of Grief

which were first printed in the 1892 edition of Modern Love; and proof sheets of other scattered poems.
 "When his letters are collected and edited as they deserve to be. published frankly and fully, it will be discovered that Meredith Is one of the very greatest letter writers of his century. In the charm of personal correspondence the angu- larities of his style were softened, the perversities Of his prose van- ished, and the unearth1y brilliance of his wit was humanized. He paid the same compliment to his friends he paid his readers-they had wits, they might use them.
 MT Altschul gathered into his collection notable group of Mere dith's letters. The correspondence with Canon Augustus Jessopp and Mrs Jessopp (more than forty let ters) is the record of long friend ship reaching back to 1881 when CT and admirer. From 1860 to 1895 Meredith was reader for Chapman and Hall the publishers, and a series of letters to Frederick Chapman is concerned with literary affairs and Meredith's duties as publishers reader. These letters are supple mented by collection of folio sheets on which he set down his comments on over 425 manuscripts submitted to him in the last six years of his association with the firm. Taken together the letters and the opinions are items of consider able interest. They reveal all that contempt for mediocrity, that de- fense of standards almost quixotical- ly high, which always marked his own work. It might cost Chapman and Hall East Lynne and a for tune, but Meredith made no com- promises. There are further, twenty or more letters and verses addressed to Mrs Janet Ross, the Rose of Evan Harrington; six teen letters to Theodore Watts

Although railroad earnings, as re-

the results of the previous year, re-
ports for January are not generally ex-

shown in the number of revenue freight

proportions to provide a sharp upturn

EXPECTS RECOVERY
Leaders of Industry Are Now
Hopeful Of Better
Conditions.
BY BENNETT WOLFE,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

TULSA, Okla, February I3.-The be-
troleum industry largely is adhering 10
policy of watchful waiting nowadays,
Developments in Washington, where
the oil situation has been receiving con-
siderable governmental attention, and
in various State capitals where Legis-
latures are in session, especially Okla
homa City, are being eyed with in
terest.
While the industry as a whole, II
the views of its leaders are held gen.
orally, sees reasons for believing better
times are in the ofing, there seems to
be a marked tendency to proceed eau
tiously pending Qualification of some
what unsettled conditions.
PROBATION, proposed limiting Of i'm
ports, taxation and probable effects Of
State and Federal tnquirieS-these are
some of the questions with which the
industry, in its different phases, is con-
cerned.
Return to Normal Seen.
At the same time, there is a definite
feeling, expressed by leaders of the in
dustry, that gradual return to normal
conditions is beginning. There is no
inclination, however, to forecast any
spectacular recovery from economic Ills.
THE industry is going through pc
Rod of serious readjustment." says W.
G. Sicily, president of the Sicily OIL
Co., but win emerge upon a more solid
and businesslike basis than ever be-
fore"
SkelIy's view is typical Of the atti-
tude Of many oil company executives.
Here are some Of the facts cited by
economists as grounds for predictions
Of betterment:
oil in the United States Is some $780,
900 barrels less than 1t was in the
middle of 1890.
2. Crude oil runs to refinery stills are
averaging 100000 barrels less per day
than year ago.
g. The number, of drilling wells is
more than 1000 under that of q year
ago.
4. Gasoline stocks are less than a year
ago and within striking distance of the
40, 1000 .000-barrel figure set by the Amer
lean Petroleum Institute as ample in
ventory for April /, 1881
5. Curtailment of marketing expan-
sion programs by most companies and
more intensive development of terri
tories already covered.
With Spring approaching and with 1t
expected to increase, leaders of the in
dustry are warning that disastrous re-
suits may be reached If refiners do not
resist a temptation to increase the
manufacture Of gasoline.
Gain in Stocks.
An increase of $4,000 barrels in gas
oline stocks last week. placing the sup
ply in storage at 42.457 900 barrels, was
noted with miSgivingS by economists
for the American Petroleum Institute.
They say the 10000, 900 barrel maxi
mum for April 1 must be effected If the
market is to be stabilized.
In this connection, the experiences of
previous years, in which stability of the
gasoline market has been upset by over
jealous operations in the Winter sea-
son, are being used as warnings in an
effort to persuade refiners they should
renew efforts to reduce present stocks.
