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.

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.

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.”
