CHOOSE FURS NOW Novelties for Coming Season Have Made Their Appearance. Dolman, It Is Predicted, Will Be a Leader for Fall Wear—Designs in Square Cut Short Coats Shown. Midsummer fur sales this year have many novelties to offer, not so much Id new pelts as In the shai>e and gen eral style design of the garments. The dolnmn Is to be a leader, It Is said, and It will appear in n variety of lengths. For the woman who likes ex 's treme styles a number of fitted models are being brought out. One of the newest is called the "redlngote” be cause it Is really cut much on the same general style line as the redin gote dress, with fitted bodice section and long skirt of pcplum, usually cut away in front so that a front panel of the skirt or dress over which It Is worn may be seen. Another novelty is the square cut short coat with loose panel back, col lar and cuffs of fur contrasting with that used for the coat proper, dollars, especially when made of a different fur from that used for the coat, are usually enormous affairs, really large enough to qualify as small separate capes. The smart little neckpiece of one or two skins sold In the spring will not he discarded Immediately by Dame Fashion, and the woman who owns one may wear It with perfect serenity right through the autumn days as an ac companiment for her tailored street frock or untrlmmed tailored suit. Mink, marten and sable were the most used pelts for these smart little neck pieces. They were shown made of one, two or three skins, the smaller ones being little more than choker collars. Full length fur coats are shown, but by far the smartest models are those that are hip or three-quarter length, except, of course, when designed for evening wear. For general wear the full length coat is heavy, and a short model is not only less expensive but gives all the protection required. COVERS FOR THE BIRDCAGE Deooratlve as Well as Useful Articles That May Be Made In Moments of Idleness. Our sketch Illustrates two useful types of covers to make for a birdcage, that require little more than cutting out. They can be carried out In linen, art serge, or. In fact, almost any rem nant of material that may be handy. They are bound at the edges with narrow ribbon. The space enclosed in the dotted line in the diagrams should corre spond In size with the top of the bird cage, and the four flaps hang down wards on each side. In the center of the cover a small oval space is cut' away, through which the handle of the euge may pass, so that the cover can be comfortably slipped over the cage In a moment. If desired, some pretty little floral design can be embroidered on three of the Hups, and possibly the name of the bird worked upon the fourth. Diagram A gives the shape of the cover that Is shown upon the cage In the sketch, and diagram B gives the shape of a similar cover, but with square flaps to hang downwards. ^Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli AZORES AT A STANDSTILL Population Has Shown Little Change in Last Century—Lost Trade in Sugar and Tobacco. The population of the Azores I* shout 245.<XW. the numher of Inhahi tatits having changed but little In the Inst century, and. If anything, having diminished. This fact is probably due more to various political and social conditions than to climatic, ngrlcul tural. or other conditions of the Islands. In the early days the Portu guese literally “raised cane" on the islands, and established a large sugar trade with England and other coun tries. Tobacco and fruits were also produced in great quantities, but, with the discovery and settlement of Rrnzil and other South American countries, Portugal rather discouraged produc tion In the Azores In order to aid lmr colonies in South America. With the sugar and tobacco trade snatched from them, the Azoreans hegnn the cultiva tion of the vine, and the making cf wine and other liquors became one of the chief industries of the islands. The population consists mainly of Portuguese. Moorish, nnd Flemish set tlers. with a few negroes and a fair sprinkling of English settlers. Novel Apartment Building. A San Francisco woman realty oper ator tins planned a novel building. Her idea is to utilize a steep bluff 350 feet high. On it she proposes to erect a series of apartments running In stair step fashion from the street down to the water of San Francisco hay. It Is proposed to have each apart ment equipped with Its own elevator entrance, pergola and roof garden, witli a glass-covered inclined elevator connecting all with the private wharf for fishing and boating. Other fea tures projected ore a specially warmed sea-water bathing tank and glass in closed and a heated playground for children on the beach. Steam heat, hot water. laundry, garage, billiard, club and ball rooms are to be provided as matters of course. The site com mands a fine view of the Golden Gate and the sen outside, according to the prospectus, and It is said the apart ments. which will rent at a prohibitive (for most of us) price, are already under lease, even before the building has been started.—Kansas City Star. His Opinion. “True, women’s fashions are so im modest as to shock the pure,” said J. Fuller Gloom. “The summers are also hotter and the winters colder than they evef- were before, .lust as usual, the country Is going headlong to the dogs. Kvery town In America lias more fools and crooks and gossips In it. In propor tion to its size, than any other town in America. The poor are always growing poorer and the rich growing fatter. The end of the world is always at hand, and probably always will be. In fact, there Is everlastingly something to howl about. If you want to howl. The women have always worn exactly what they pleased in just tile manner that suited them best, and there never was and never will be any help for It. And if their diaphanous garb offends you there is no law compelling you to keep edging around until you get a comely woman betwixt yourself and the sun, confound you !”—Kansas City Star. Knew the Stock. Thomas—Has the boss got any horses for sale? The Groom — No. sir, but I reckon Mr. Smith has. Thomas—Why? The Groom—Well, the gov’nor sold him a couple last week. Drew Around Her Think. "That’s a splendid looking cow you drew’ on that paper,” I said to my lit tle niece. “How did you ever come tfl make it so real?” "Well.” she answered. "I just think ed and Ihlnked about a cow and then drnwed around my think.” 15] deb Stores! | BASEMENT | GREAT BARGAIN BASEMENT SALE §| FOR THREE DAYS, THURSDAY, FRI- H DAY AND SATURDAY.
