Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE ARMY VOL. XXI. HOW TO STRENGTH (Continued from Last Issue) After noting the humiliating attempts of the Negroes of two states to secure regiments of their color without success I am of the opinion that it should be put up to Congress to see whether that body is so blinded by prejudice as to ignore what would be a valuable asset in a war with a strong power. This is my plan: The people of the United States will not stand for a large standing army, so for numbers we must depend on a reserve force. We Negroes, in time of peace, cannot get representation in the militia of the states in any proportion to our members, nor will the states accept us in such wars as the Unified States has had or has been threatened with since Freedom. So far the militia system has not been satisfactory, even as regards the white militia, and Congress or the general staff will undoubtedly soon cast about for some other method of creating a reserve. As we cannot get representation in the militia, especially in the South where our numbers are strongest, I suggest that we attempt to secure the passage of a bill for the creation of a reserve force in the South composed of colored men, to officered by colored men, to be mustered in and drilled for a certain length of time each year, not more than a month; that officers be appointed only after passing a satisfactory mental and physical examination conducted by regular army officers, and that until a satisfactory state of proficiency be attained the field officers be detailed wholly from the regular army; that these troops be called "U. S. Reserves," and that they be totally independent of any state, and that they be called into active service, with the exception of one month each year for training, only in time of war, as in the order now pertaining to the militia. Such a law would obviate the humiliating attempts to raise that regiment in New York, would better insure there being nothing said about the lack of education among the officers, would have a tendency to instill pride in the people as only the better class would be enlisted. ``` Now, I am aware that agitating for the raising of soldiers is a far cry from the uplift work being done by such schools a Tuskegee, of which I know you to be a staunch supporter I have long been an observer, at a distance, it is true, of the work done at that school, and others of its kind; have been for many years a reader of The Student, and am heart and soul with that noble Tuskegee, Booker T. washington, in all that he is doing and attempting to do, but I believe that our people would well attack all occupations and let their versatility be bound only by those which bound the country. I am well aware that it would be fntile to attempt such legislation at the present time, but it may not be impossible to get this through on the wave of popular excitement, when, after hearing of more startling news of the operations of the European armies, Congress will be flooded with all kinds of schemes for the increase of the forces of the country. I believe this to be a sound military measure, although I am well aware that prejudice would make of it a wild and dangerous scheme, and I could refer you to military experts of my acquaintance who, I believe, would favor it. I don't believe our colored officers would pass upon this, as they are reticent and advisedly so, considering the delicacy of the position in which they stand, but if you think this matter worthy of consideration I would be glad to suggest the name of a military expert, a retired officer, who would, I believe, give you his opinion on it. NEGRO SOLDIER (From New York Age) BEST BLACK SOLDIERS Lieutenant F. R. Kenney is the chief recruiting officer of the United States army and probably the best known man in the United States in the recruiting service His opinion is often sought pertaining to systems and methods for securing recruits and on all matters in connection with this department. In a recent interview in his office he stated the following regarding the Colored men in the army: "The best fighters in the army are the Colored regiments. See where they were in the famous battle, San Juan Hill; notice the splendid service rendered in recent DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Hosting State House ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO troubles on the Mexican border, and the placing of Colored troops at Fort Pterer (Buffalo), which is a very important post. No set of men make the magnificent appearance and showing our Colored troops make. This is due largely to the fact that we accept none but the best in the army. We are at the present time in need of good men in the infantry and are enlisting as fast as possible. The statement made in the early part of my interview is confirmed by the action of the department in placing Colored troops at the most important posts." ACT TO FREE PHILIPPINES IS CARRIED Washington, Oct. 14—The Jones Philippine bill, which declares the purpose of the United States to recognize the independence of the islands "as soon as a stable government can be established there," passed the house late today by a vote of 211 to 59. It will not be considered in the senate at this session. Five Republicans, Representatives Cooper, Davis, Dillon, Griest and Rogers, four Progressives, Falconer, Chandler, Rupley and Thomson of Illinois, and Representative Farr, Progressive Republican voted with the solid Democratic membership for the bill. Speaker Clark also had his vote recorded for the measure. Representative Bryan of Washington, Progressive, voted against it. Popular Elections Provided The bill declares the policy of the United States on recognition of the independence of the islands in the preamble and make both branches of the Philippine legislature elective by the people, fixing terms of office of Philippine senators and the resident commissioner of the Philippines in congress at six years, while representatives shall serve three years. The purpose of the measure is declared in the preamble to be to enlarge the self government of the Filipineos, to define the nature of the relations between the United States and the islands, to give qualified veto to the governer general and absolute veto power to the president of the United States over acts of the Philippine legislature. All Amendments Fail All efforts to amend the principles of the bill failed. Republican opponents charged that it was unwise and misleading to the Filipino people. "An effort of the minority to engraft upon it provisions for woman suffrage and prohibition failed, as did an attempt to obtain the neutralization of the islands by international agreement pending independence and as did proposals to change the salary of the governor general fixed in the bill at $18,000 a year. WILSON BOOSTS COLORED MESSENGER Washington, Oct. 5.—President Wilson today rewarded the services of Edward A. Savoy the colored messenger of many successive Secretaries of State, by issuing an order permitting his promotion from chief messenger in the State Department to a clerkship, without reference to the Civil Service, Savoy, known to all officials and diplomats as "Eddie," entered the Department under Secretary Fisk. IMMORALITY CHARGE AGAINST NEGRO BAPTIST In a late issue of the Philadelphia Tribune, of which Mr. Chris J. Perry is editor, direct, severe and serious charges are made against some of the Baptist ministers, who recently attended the National Baptist Convention held in Philadelphia. Editor Perry does not mince words. If one-half of what the Philadelphia Tribune alleges against the conduct of some of these Baptist ministers is true, it represents a very serious condition—one that the Baptist fraternity cannot fail to give attention. The officers of the National Baptist Convention cannot afford to ignore these charges. They should be taken up, investigated and something given out to the public concerning them. The time has long passed when it pays to cover up or attempt to cover up filth of the minister. Let us have the light. We call upon President E. C. Morris and other officers of the National Baptist Convention to make an investigation and then speak out. The public demands information. The ministers who are guilty, if there are such, should be condemned. Those who are innocent should be exonerated.—New York Age. CANON CITY NOTES. Miss Grace Walker of Denver is visiting in the city, and having a delightful time. She will leave soon for her home in Denver. Mr. L. Pate is employed as a coal driver for the Union mine operators.

George went to Pueblo last Friday to spend a few days. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Augusta, Ga, Oct. 8.—George Addison, colored, was offered a half pint of 100-proof corn whisky, if he would drink it down at one gulp. This he agreed to do and took it home, telling his wife what he had promised. He kept his promise and—well, he never woke up from the sleep into which he fell. The coroner's physician, on learning the facts, thought it unnecessary to hold an inquest. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 7—"Tied by the apron string" last Saturday were ten little children, whose mammy, Mrs. Sally Johnson, took them to the Navy Yard at League Island sight seeing. Her oldest son John is in the navy, attached to one of the battleships, and she undertook the task of guiding the rest of her brood around the naval station. She is of unusual girth, and found when she reached the yard that her ample proportions were preventing easy locomotion. To add to her distress the ten youngsters, ranging between two and ten years of age, began to wander and lose themselves in the crowd. She obtained a piece of stout twine, and, running a loop of it around each of her charges, tied the end of it to her wrist. Like a troop of dusky Alpine climers they threaded their way among the crowds around the yard, creating much amusement, but they were safe from separation. London, Sept. 19, 1914.—Giving the lie to stories that he has taken out French naturalization papers, Jack Johnson visited the American embassy today and said he was a citizen of the United States. He received a passport to travel in Russia. Johnson was cross examined severely, but he presisted that he had never even dreamed of expatriating himself. He denounced as a newspaper invention the statement that he was a Frenchman. He showed a passport obtained from Ambassador Herrick in Paris six months ago, which now has expired. He was in Russia a few weeks ago, then in Berlin and Paris, whence he came to London. Johnson drove up to the embassy in a big limousine. He was accompanied by his white wife, her maid and his managers and trainers. The only other Negro in the party was Johnson's sparring partner. He is going to Russia to fulfil theatrical engagements which he entered upon long ago. His wife will accompany him Her diamonds so dazzled NO 8 the clerk he scarcely could see to write the passports: There has been no more welcome addition to the Catholic orders of this city than the branch of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, which has been established at a temporary home at 21 Worcester square. It was at the invitation of His Eminence William Cardinal O'Connell, that his new sisterhood has come to Boston for the purpose of working among the Colored people of this section. At present there are only three sisters here, Sister Patrick, Sister Leo, and Sister Eymard. Mother Katherine Drexel, of the famous Philadelphia family, the head of the order, was in Boston recently and with the other sisters made plans for the work. The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament is a congregation of religious women devoted exclusively to the spiritual and temporal welfare of the Indian and Colored people. This congregation was founded some 18 years ago by Miss Katherine Drexel, daughter of the late Francis A. Drexel, one of Philadelphia's leading bankers and financiers. Paris, Oct. 2, 1914.—That an African battalion checked the attacks of the German imperial guard in the recent fighting near Verdun, is the inference drawn from details received here of the combat in that section. A survivor of the battle, who has arrived in Paris, today told the following story of the fight: "The sun was just rising when our outposts came back on our main force and informed us that the imperial guard was coming. Soon after we could see pointed helmets, glistening in the sun, rapidly advancing. Deceived by our silence, the guard came on even to the barbed defenses and commenced cutting them before our trumpets sounded an order for volley firing. The first line of the enemy seemed just to melt away under our fire. The second line appeared to be shaken for an instant, but on they came. We could plainly see the officers in the lead waving their swords and encouraging their men to the assault. Another volley and the second line thinned out; but a third line came on and the mass crossed the wire defenses. When 'charge' was sounded we rushed forward to meet them. Then our boys commenced to fall, but our impetus was too much for the aristocratic guard, which was mowed down and dispersed. ERNEST HOWARD, Carpenter, Job and Repair Work. Paints, Oils and Glass.

Boulder.—The lives of Miss Edith Crandall and Miss Elizabeth Trezise, teachers at Superior, have been threatened by two women of the town who have refused to buy books for their children, according to a complaint which reached the sheriff. The parents of some of the children in the district have asked the school board to purchase books for their children, asserting that they are too poor to do so themselves. The refusal of the board to take this step caused the women to direct their anger against the teachers, and when Miss Crandall later whipped one of the boys for an infraction of school rules, his mother is said to have entered the school room and threatened to stab the teacher. County authorities are investigating the case. Predicts End of War Soon.

Have you ever noticed signs of this kind: "No loafing allowed." "Don't talk to employees during business hours." "No visiting here." Have you ever thought why these signs are posted in elevators, over soda fountains and in stores, shops and factories? It is because friends and associates run to these places to talk shop, politics, club, society, balls and church matters to employees during business hours, and, notwithstanding these silent reminders, our people continue to do this thing anyhow. It is not right. It is not just to your friend or fair to his employer nor honorable in you. We want it stopped. Several business places have issued orders not to serve colored people, not because they object to colored trade, but because some lazy, trifling, thoughtless colored people who have more time than business, more gall than money or sense, insists on hanging around and talking nonsense instead of waiting 'till closing nours to transact business.' The colored places of business are especially cursed with this kind of junk. Restaurants, barber shops, and even undertaking parlors find it hard to rid themselves of this material. Then won't take a hint. You can't insult them, and what is a busy man to do? The Colorado Statesman sees that these things are hurting us and we are going to help you to put an end to it. Cut this out and hang it up where all can see it, and put under it in great, big letters: This means you. If you will send us the names of these intruders, hangers-on, day sleepers, we will mail them some printed matter. We are trying to help the merchants and protect the employees and save the race. APPRECIATION OF OUR EDITORIALS. A layman has written the Colorado Statesman expressing appreciation of its editors, saying that "the subjects selected are of national importance as well as of local interest, and their treatment is clear, clean, full and instructive; that marked copies of the Colorado Statesman are sent out of the state to friends elsewhere and that our editors are copied and commented upon by other newspapers, and that the enthusiasm and optimistic spirit of our articles is far-reaching in good results." The Colorado Statesman thanks its readers for their compliments. The Colorado Statesman thanks its readers for their compliments. Information relative to city, state and national interests are usually most valuable and interesting only to intelligent readers. Truth is the end of all intelligent discussion and the treatment of important subjects by strong editorials will make a newspaper doubly valuable. Only important news items are of much interest to general readers now, but the interesting editorial page will occupy one's leisure at any time. It is the editorial page that gives food for thought and difference of opinion. A good editorial page gives more prominence and value to advertisements. The editor who habitually neglects his editorial page or fails occasionally to quote opinions of other editors is certain to lose the interest of his readers and make his paper a poor investment for advertisers as well as subscribers. The Colorado Statesman wishes to thank its readers for their appreciation of editorials and to say we are more than glad to know that the time has come when the colored people can enter into appreciation for editorial work. In many of our colored newspapers this important part is overlooked and the notes of correspondents and social functions made the most prominent thing; but as the race advances in general intelligence they will also become more discriminating in the amount, character and exactness of the editorials. The Colorado Statesman will try to keep in the front ranks of the procession. This paper has never lacked for editorial material—our trouble has been simply to confine ourselves to the space and time and importance of the subjects at our disposal. Make it a point to read our editorials every week and you will catch the spirit of the times and be a booster. Smile and push for the Colorado Statesman. THE PEOPLE'S DUTY TO THE NEWSPAPER The subscribers and readers of the Colorado Statesman have a reciprocal duty to the paper that comes into their hands fifty-two times a year—we never miss an issue. The first duty is to see that the management get their money. Newspapers, like churches, societies and other businesses, cannot run without money, therefore prompt pay is essential. Second—If the Colorado Statesman is a good paper—we try to make it the best—then you ought to try to increase its circulation and subscription, just as you try to get new members into your church and lodge. It means a stronger church or better lodge, just as increased circulation makes a better newspaper. Third—The mission of this paper is the collection, condensation—for that is necessary these busy days—and disseminating of news of a healthy, interesting and beneficial nature to the race. This paper has demonstrated this beyond any question during the past twenty years. But it is impossible to get all of the happenings of importance in a city like Denver unless notice of these events are mailed to our office. Very often meetings of an interesting nature are held, entertainments given, socials, parties and banquets carried out, sports, games and reunions conducted, concerts, lectures and installations indulged in, business transactions, sales and changes pulled off successfully, and people wonder why it is not referred to in our paper. Simply because the management is not aware of the happening, or press tickets or newspaper courtesy mailed or presented to us so that we might send our reporter to get the facts. There are ethics in newspaper work the same as in other service, and promoters of entertainments ought to make provision for the press the same as they do for other kinds of publicity. The people of Denver want the news. The Colorado Statesman is prepared to give it. This is our business, and it is the indispensable duty of every one to assist in getting it to us so that the public may have it promptly. The Colorado Statesman does not charge for space and will not charge except for that of an advertising nature. We will publish all matter mailed to us, reserving, of course, the right to edit the same. Let the public take notice of this and do your duty. TO OUR VOTERS The recall election and the completion of registration having passed, the three parties—Republican, Democrat and Progressive—have started today to push their campaign in the most vigorous fashion. Voters are urged to exercise a particular interest in this election, as from the activity of the respective parties and the unprecedented aggregate registration, there should be no reason why the Republican party should not be the recipient of the majority of votes for the various positions on Tuesday, November 3rd. Here's an opportunity to show how and what we have gained from the present administration by returning the whole Republican ticket that is offered for election, demonstrating that as far as we are concerned, another chance will never be afforded the Democrats to give such a glaring proof of their segregation policy, which is more than absurd, and reflecting on a nation which boasts of its liberty and freedom among its citizens. In the forthcoming election we are empowered to return representatives for the state and federal offices, and the time has come when the scales must be removed from our eyes; when conscience must awaken; when we must have a true realization of the conditions that confront us, and the circumstances that surround us must dissolve before the sunrise of true Americanism and patriotic display of her children. In the future issues of this paper full instructions will be given regarding the headless ballot system and the court ruling on the question of alien voting, and our endeavor to put the matter plainly before our subscribers and the public will be rewarded, we hope, with the return of our candidates by a large majority. Let us prove, therefore, by our votes that the spirit of true Republicanism is still alive within us. Announcements of candidates' platforms, principles and pledges for the campaign will be found in succeeding issues, and everyone should have a particular interest in attending the meetings which will be held during the time previous to election. We have always given through our columns the best advices that will support our cause and keep intact the establishment of good government, and so it is our earnest desire to once more prove the intelligence of our people in exercising the franchise to their best advantage. There is about the same relation between music and human progress as between polished mahogany furniture and happiness or between silk stockings and life. Relation of Music to Human Progress By GEORGE JAY SMITH Educator and Author, Boston, Mass. Music is just a luxury. It exists as a means of emotional satisfaction, varying from titillation to debauch. When, at the symphony, the sweet wail of the violins and the tender bird notes of the flutes are now or again overpowered by the clarion of the trumpets we feel our flesh thrill and we clap our hands like children, with naive joy. Or when, at the opera, the stirring appeal of the heroic tenor or the high flight of the enamored soprano floats us away on a great wave of exaltation, we are merely being lifted out of our accustomed contact with banality—we are having, for the time being, a sense of pleasure that amounts to luxury. An orchestra seat at the Metropolitan opera costs $6. If that fact doesn't prove music to be a luxury what could? People don't pay $6 for three hours of "uplift" or soul-development, but for an emotional spree. They say we don't care anything about the necessaries, but we must have the luxuries of life. And they are right, in a way, for life is worth while in proportion as we get rich sensations out of it. In a word, the progress of art is the progress of luxury. The finer, rarer, newer sorts of sense-gratification don't "get" us until we have learned to be susceptible to them. It's hard work for some of us. We have to listen, at first rebelliously, then maybe prayerfully; and if, eventually, our efforts are rewarded, what have we gained? Why, this: a new sort of pleasure, in which, perhaps, a distinct element is the knowledge that not everybody is of the initiate. In the world of music, then, there is a sort of ladder, a hierarchy. Music began with instruments of percussion—tomtoms and the like. Lots of people are still in the tomtom stage. At the top of the ladder are the fellows who despise opera, because in opera the effect is partly due to words and acting and scenery. They even despise all vocal music. It is not "pure" music. For them nothing but the instrumental counts at all. But, for the most part, these people are strong for Beethoven. They are agonized by the ultra-modern music. It is pleasant to reflect that even they have something to grow to. The rest of us are scattered along the line, as devotees of opera, or brass bands, or street pianos, or restaurant quartets, or even musical comedies. Just what sort of music appeals to one doesn't really matter, so far as human progress is concerned. I can't see that a liking for the bones and the banjo isn't as unselfish and harmless and even as beneficial as a passion for Brahms. The French are the wise people: "Chacun a son gout." After all, England is the country where the real big money of the world is. In the United States we have a large number of individuals who have managed to pile up colossal fortunes After all, England is the country where the real big money of the world is. In the United States we have a large number of individuals who have managed to pile up colossal fortunes, but in England there are thousands of men of great wealth about whose financial strength the public hears and knows nothing. Over here the enormously rich are catalogued, but there is no such publicity in the old country. Englishmen are naturally more reserved and they have a horror of anything that savors of boasting about their bank accounts. Last summer I was the guest of a gentleman at his beautiful country place about an hour's ride out of London. He lived handsomely, but not ostentatiously. Attacked by a sudden complaint that carried him to the grave before I sailed for home, I was greatly surprised to see in the regular publication of the Times, that gives the list and value of the estates of decedents, that the property left by him amounted to £11,000,000 sterling, or $55,000,000 in United States money. Later a mutual friend told me that scarcely anyone knew how considerable was the fortune of the deceased, and added that it was very common in England for the wealthy to give no hint of their real monetary status. Procrastination Is Bane of Travelers By E. L. CRAWFORD, Baltimore, Md. Procrastination Is Bane of Travelers By E. L. CRAWFORD, Baltimore, Md. Procrastination is the bane of commercial travelers more than any other class of men, I sometimes think. I have heard many a drummer tell hard-luck stories of what he had lost by delaying an intended visit to some customer, and I have had mournful experiences in the same line. Once I stood in front of the establishment of a very liberal patron in Louisville, undecided whether to enter or wait until morning. It was then about 5:30 in the afternoon and I finally, decided that it was too late to bother the proprietor. At nine o'clock the next day I was in his private office and told him of what had transpired the preceding afternoon, adding that I knew it was better to have waited. "Great Jehosaphat," he answered. "Do you mean to say that you stood out there on the sidewalk and went away without seeing me? Well, it was a a miserable trick you played on yourself, for I was in my private office at that very hour writing an order to your firm for $6,000 worth of goods. I had to have 'em in a hurry, but if I had only known you were coming you assuredly would have received that order direct." I came nearer fainting than I ever did in my life, but it taught me a good lesson. Drug Habit is Becoming More General By Dr. Thomas R. Wellman, San Francisco Drug Habit is Becoming More General By Dr. Thomas R. Wellman, San Francisco The drug habit is becoming more general in the United States each year. It is hard to believe, but 400,-000 pounds of opium was imported into the United States last year. Opium is not the only drug that is being consumed in large quantities in this country. It is estimated that Americans addicted to the cocaine habit consume 150,000 ounces of the drug each year. The amount of opium used in the United States is fifteen times as much as is consumed in Germany, Austria and Italy combined. Only 20 per cent of the drug finds its way into the legitimate practice of doctors, the rest being used by persons who have acquired the habit. One of the startling facts that is not generally known by the public is that about 23 per cent of the medical profession are addicted to the drug habit. A new drug has recently come on the market, which is known as heroin and is sold openly on the market in many places. It is a new product of opium and is claiming hundreds of victims all over the United States.

The pastor will preach both morning and evening tomorrow and the same topics will be as follows: Miss V. I. McBeth passed through the city this week from Los Angeles, Calif., enroute to Galveston, Texas. While in the city she was the guest of her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. McBeth. The baby of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Cattlett of 1935 Thirty-fifth street died October 13th. The funeral of the little one was held at the Douglass Undertaking chapel. She was placed to sleep eternally in Riverside. Mrs. Ester White died at 1024 Twenty-fifth street, October 4th. Funeral services at Antioch church.

Hon. Nelson C. Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun; Dr. M. O. Ricketts, a practicing physician of St. Joseph, Mo., and Mr. Geo W. Love of the Love Regalia Company of Kansas City, Mo., all Masons of high rank, were visitors this week. They were given an automobile trip over the city and paid a hurried visit to the office of The Colorado Statesman. While in Denver they stopped at the Hotel Marian. Monday night they visited Centennial Lodge No. 4, A. F. & A. M., and a very profitable evening was spent. One of the most enthusiastic meetings of the campaign was held last Monday night at the residence of Mrs. Ida DePriest, under the auspices of the Colored Women's Republican Club, of which Mrs. DePriest is president. A large crowd was present and listened to inspiring addresses, the principal speakers being Mrs. Anna Scott, vice chairman of the Republican county central committee; Horace Phelps, Republican candidate for congressman; Francis J. Knauss, Republican candidate for state senator; Mrs. A. Froman, Mrs. Josephine Cassells and Miss Nelsine Howard. The Colored Women's Republican Club is doing a great work in this campaign and will aid much toward the victory which is predicted. Tom Williams, our popular and genial head waiter, has accepted the call from the Electric Club, situated in the Chamber of Commerce building, to take charge of their dining room for the second time, as they are thoroughly convinced of Mr. Williams' ability and his staff of workmen to perform their duty. The mere fact of this club opening with colored waiters, then changing to white, and returning to the former, is a clear proof of their having given satisfaction as well as offered the best economical advantage to the club. Mr. Williams has gained the confidence and respect of his employers of some of the best hostelries in Denver and the state and there is every reason for further success if he has a good body guard with a determination to do their best under good leadership and enough latitude to play in. We congratulate him, being sure that with Williams satisfaction is a guaranteed quality in whatever he undertakes. THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24TH AND OGDEN.

RAILROAD PORTERS' CLUB The management of the above club is determined to prove to our townsmen as well as visitors that no expense is spared in making their club rooms second to none in the city, as from the improvement in decorations, addition of a barber shop of the most sanitary order under the personal supervision of J. B. Minter, a specialist in the tonsorial art, every comfort is afforded the weary railroad porter and his friend to spend a few recreative moments to their satisfaction and delight. A music room and library also cater to the pleasure of the patrons, and last but not least, a café that not only pleases but suffices the appetite of the most hard to please.

A New York homeopath, speaking at the recent convention in Atlantic City, said that conserving the eye sight was a phase of health conservation too often overlooked. He said that 50 per cent of the blindness in this country was due to conditions that might have been avoided. Giving One's Best. "The essential relations of men and women to society are not altered by their entering into marriage relations with one another. Whatever was owed before marriage, of gift, of self development, is still collectible and in the same coin. It admits no theory of substitutes. If children are your best, your supreme contribution, let us have them; in any case, let us have the best of you."—Mary Austin. Dexterous Dentist. "It was a dreadful moment," sald the dentist. "I was bathing quietly, when the great cavernous jaws of the shark opened before me." "What did you do?" asked one of the ladies. "I took my forceps out of the pocket of my bathing-suit and pulled his teeth before he had a chance to seize me. It was the quickest and neatest bit of work I ever did." Most Injurious of Trades Quicksilver miners follow the most unhealthful trade in the world. The fumes of the mercury produce constant salivation, and the system, becomes permeated with the metal; the teeth of the unfortunate men drop out, they lose their appetite, become emaciated and as a rule seldom live longer than two years. The obelisk in Central park, N. Y., was set up there in 1881. It was the gift of W. H. Vanderbilt to the city. The massive granite pillar was originally erected in Egypt about 1600 B. C. by Thotmes III, and is, therefore, at the present time some 3,500 years old. The characters upon the sides of the obelisk are the so-called hieroglyphics—the picture-writing in which the Egyptians recorded their thoughts and their annals. To Brighten Gilt Frames.

To say of any one nation that it has "given us the best and most charming music" would be a rather hazardous statement. Italy has given us much fine music, and so has France, and Austria, and England, and even the United States. Perhaps Germany has the best claim to be called the leading musical nation. Certainly no other nation can show greater music than that which was composed by Beethoven, Mozart and other artists from the Fatherland. THE WESTERN BEEF Co.

FINE FRUIT IS PINEAPPLE Healthful, Delicious, and Not Expensive, it Is Deserving of Much Wider Recognition. For pineapple mousse, make a sirup with one cupful of sugar and quarter of a cupful of water; add gradually the yolks of four eggs, stiffly beaten, beating all the while. Cook in a double boiler until the custard begins to thicken, then strain and cool, stirring occasionally. Put two cupfuls of shredded pineapple through a sieve and add to the custard; lastly, fold in two cupfuls of cream, stiffly whipped. Pack in ice and salt, and let stand several hours to harden. Another dessert for hot weather is pineapple charlotte: Dissolve a tablespoonful of powdered gelatin in two cupfuls of boiling water; add the juice of a lemon, a large orange, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a little grated rind of the orange. Stir over the fire until the sugar is well dissolved. Strain over a cupful of shredded pineapple; pour the mixture into a dish which has been lined with ladyfingers, and set in the refrigerator to harden. Serve with whipped cream. Pineapple cream also calls for gelatin and is a dessert specially good in hot weather. To make this, dissolve two teaspoonfuls of powdered gelatin in a cupful of boiling water. Add a cupful of sugar, two cupfuls of cooked shredded pineapple, and two table-spoonfuls each of chopped candied orange, lemon peel and cherries. Whip two cupfuls of cream until stiff and fold into the pineapple mixture; pour into a mold, and put in the refrigerator to harden. Serve with whipped cream and decorate with candied cherries and pieces of pineapple. CONCERNING CHANGE IN DIET Meat Eater Must Go Somewhat Slow When He Becomes Convert to Vegetarianism. Many people are deciding to join the ranks of the vegetarians, for a time at least, but this should be done with the greatest care and thought. It will be a step taken with extreme danger unless the food values are considered, and those who cannot give time to study them had better keep to the fleshpots, even if in a limited way. The meat eater cannot take up the new diet at will, as the blood has to be kept to a certain heat, and this can only be done by foods with which the constitution is already familiar. With regard to flour, the mainstay of the home, it should not be wasted on cakes and the like, but kept carefully for bread, which is as necessary as life itself. The housewife should not be selfish in the home in using this valuable commodity recklessly and the maker of cakes, which also require large quantities of sugar and butter, at the present time is committing a criminal act, even though it is one that only her own conscience can punish. The principal meal in the day should be the dinner, of course, and the housewife who takes off a course or two is doing an act of self-denial which is of inestimable value to her country.—Exchange. Veal With Mushroom Sauce Broil the steaks slowly over a clear fire, turning often so that they will not scorch. When done keep the meat hot on a platter in the oven while you make the following sauce: Drain the liquor from a can of mushrooms and cut the mushrooms in halves. Cook together a tablespoonful of butter and one of browned flour until they are dark brown in color. Pour upon them the mushroom liquor and a cupful of beef stock. Stir to a smooth sauce, salt and pepper and add the halved mushrooms. Cook for two minutes, stirring constantly, then pour over and around the veal steaks. Corn Meal Cutlets. The recipe for this good meat substitute comes from the Battle Creek sanitarium. Turn the corn meal mush into bread tins previously wet with cold water. Slice when cold. Beat one or two eggs slightly, add one tablespoonful of water or milk to each egg, also one-eighth teaspoonful of salt. Dip the sliced mush into the bread crumbs, then into the egg mixture and back into the bread crumbs again. Place in a buttered pan and bake in a quick oven until a rich brown. Serve with butter or maple sirup. Walnut Cream Cake. For the layers use any regulation cake recipe. The following is very good and easily made by beginners: One cupful sugar, one-half cupful butter, three eggs (whites and yolks separately beaten), one and one-half cupful flour, one and one-half teaspoonful baking powder, one-half cupful milk, vanilla flavoring. Bake in three layers. Sour Milk Pies. One cupful sugar, one coffee cupful sour milk, two-thirds cupful molasses, one cupful chopped raisins, one tablespoonful vinegar, one teaspoonful cloves and cinnamon, two eggs, salt to taste. This makes three pleas. Chocolate Cake. One cupful sugar, one-half cupful butter, three eggs, one-half cupful milk, two cupfuls flour, three teaspoonful cocoon, one teaspoonful vanilla. Sift flour before measuring. BRITISH HIGHLANDERS ON THE FIRING LINE Photograph taken during one of the battles in northern France, showing Highlanders on the firing line, the enemy being concealed in the woods. ANTWERP GIVES UP TO GERMANS AFTERTWOWEEKS Belgium's Chief Seaport Held by Kaiser--Half Million Civilians Flee--All Public Buildings Spared. RUSSIANS DEFEATED Austro-Prussian Army Routs Slavs From Galician Positions—Plight of Refuges Pitiable—More Bombs Fall on Paris. The Germans have captured Antwerp, chief seaport and temporary capital of Belgium, after a siege of two weeks. They have imposed a fine of one hundred million dollars on the citizens for resisting the invaders, and have taken over the civil administration. When it was seen that Antwerp could not hold out indefinitely against the kaiser's great guns, the seat of government and royal family hurried to Ostend, a famous seaside resort just across the BRITISH H INTERNATIONAL NEW SERVICE Photograph taken during one of enemy being concealed in the woods channel from England. The Germans have sent a strong column toward Ostend in an effort to capture the royal family. Holland May Fight. To fall of Antwerp places Holland squarely between the millstones of British and German interests. For Antwerp to be of any use to Germany as a base for naval or aerial operations against England the kaiser must control the mouth of the Scheldt, which is altogether in Dutch hands. Germany is urging the Dutch government to relinquish that control. Such diplomatic success by Germany would be a direct violation of the neutrality of Holland. Trouble for Holland. Trouble for Holland. There is little possibility that Germany will be able to secure Holland's consent to the use of the mouth of the Scheldt in order to make Antwerp a naval port. Such acquiescence would be followed by disastrous consequences to the people of the Dutch kingdom. They would be considered participants in the war and a British poet would blockade all Dutch ports. The present plight of Holland is bad enough and a blockade would mean practical starvation of the kingdom. Heavy Cavalry Action. In Northwestern France on the Allies' left wing, the main positions of the contending forces now reach the Belgian border, while beyond those points masses of cavalry continue the struggle over the frontline and into Belgium. Along the greater part of the front, however, the antagonists seem content to watch each other without attempting any definite movements. Expect General Attack. Paris—The whole German front is about to take the offensive again, according to military strategists. Attempt by the German forces, which have worn down the defenses of Antwerp, to join with the German right wing in assaults westward toward the coast is expected here to be the signal for a general attack on the whole battle line now extending on the battle line, now extending well over 300 hundred miles. French Much Encouraged. The strong German re-enforcements, which appeared on the Belgian frontier in the region of Lille, according to a late report, have made no progress in any point, and at certain points the Germans have moved GERMANS FIND BRITISH WAR PLANS IN BELGIUM GERMANS FIND BRITISH WAR PLANS IN BELGIUM Berlin.—The German general headquarters has given out the following report: "German military authorities, searching the archives of the Belgian general staff at Brussels, discovered a portfolio inscribed 'English intervention in Belgium,' which contains some important documents. back, particularly to the north of Arras, where the fighting is developing under conditions favorable to the Allies. The cavalry are fighting even further north than this and the French communication says operations have developed almost to the North sea. Nearer and Nearer to Antwerp. The present front is within about sixty-eight miles of Antwerp, where the Belgians offered such heroic resistance to the bombardment of the heavy German artillery. Further down toward the center of the line the severest fighting continues at Roye. Reims again has been subjected to a short bombardment. Aeroclane Bombs Deadly. During the last week German aviators have flown several times over Paris, killing five persons and wounding nearly forty by dropping bombs. Property damage has been small. During the last day of the siege of Antwerp German aviators dropped bombs on the city, killing twenty non-combatants. Refugees a Grave Problem. Retugees a Grave Problem. What to do with the refugees of the war is a grave problem that has been forced on all the governments of Europe, belligerent and neutral. Fully five hundred thousand people fled from Antwerp. Correspondents in the field attempt to describe the pitiful, the ghastly, scenes among the women and children struggling along the roads bordering the frontier of Holland, and then give up the attempt. Many small Dutch towns have been forced to close their gates, as they cannot accommodate any more refugees. France and England are feeling the pressure, too, especially France. It is calculated that almost 1 million more persons have fled into Central, West- HIGHLANDERS ON THE F the battles in northern France, showing ern and Southern France from the north and northeast of France and from Belgium. All of these are destitute in the literal sense of the word—without money, without clothes (except such as they are wearing), without homes or belongings of any kind. They are beset by hunger and disease, and their sufferings have been such that their spirits are broken, and it is impossible to expect them to do useful work that will compensate for the cost of feeding and housing them. London.—A dispatch from Amsterdam says the Russians in Galicia and north of the Vistula are pursued by Austro-German troops. Many towns which a few days ago were in the hands of the Russians are now again under an Austrian administration. The big battle line between the combined Austro-German armies and the legions of Russia extends from the Galician frontier, near Tarnow, north 'to the East Prussian border. Another Russian force is besieging Przemysl, in Galicia, and still another is invading Hungary. On the East Prussian frontier the fighting appears to have come to a standstill for the present. The Russians have driven the Germans back, after their advance to the Niemen river, found, on getting to the German border, that re-enforcements had been brought from Koenlsberg and their further progress was arrested. The Germans, in fact, claim to have defeated the Russians near Suwalki, and to have taken 2,700 prisoners and nine machine guns. Austrians Advancing. In Southwestern Poland the Austro-German armies have advanced along both banks of the Vistula river, with the object of compelling the Russians to evacuate part of Galicia, and, according to their reports, have defeated them, capturing 4,800 prisoners. Say Russiana Are Stopped. Say Russians Are Stopped. Berlin.—In the eastern battlefield German and Austrian forces have completely stopped the Russian offensive, inflicting enormous losses. Conjunction of Austrian and German armies at Ivangorod has greatly endangered the Russian center by a flanking movement. Japs Dominate Tsing Tau. Peking.—The Japanese have mounted siege guns on Prince Henry mountain, which entirely dominates all "One of these is a report to the Belgian minister of war, dated on April 10, 1906, which gives the result of detailed negotiations between the chief of the Belgian general staff and the British military attaché at Brussels, Lieutenant Colonel Bernardiston. This plan is of English origin and was sanctioned by Lieutenant General Sir James M. Grierson, chief of the British general staff. It sets forth the strength and formation, and designates landing places for an expeditionary, force of 100,000 men. Continuing, it gives the details of a plan three of the Tsing Tau forts, according to advices reaching Peking. These forts are named Bismarck, Moltke and Iltis and are three or four miles from the mountain. The attack on Tsing Tau may begin any day. Prior to it a demand for surrender will be made. **Three German Ships Sunk?** Tokio.—The belief was expressed at the war office here that the German cruiser Cormoran and two other German gunboats had been sunk in Kiao Chow bay. The Japanese army has occupied the Shan-Tung railroad as far west as Chi-Nan. **Two Warships Sunk.** A dispatch from Rome says that the Anglo-French fleet off Ragusa, Dalmatia, sunk two Austrian torpedo boats, one of which was escorting a steamship laden with munitions of war. Their crews were saved. A torpedo boat destroyer was injured. Germans Sink Russ Cruiser. Petrograd. An official communication just issued announces that October 11 the Russian armored cruiser Pallada was torpedoed in the Baltic Sea by a German submarine and sank with all her crew. British Submarine at Work. London. Submarine E-9 of the British navy under command of Lieutenant Commander Max K. Horton, made another raid into German waters off the mouth of the River Ems and succeeded in sinking a German torpedo boat destroyer. This same commander made a similar dash and sank the German cruiser Hela off Helgoland on September 13. As on the former occasion, the E-9 has safely returned to her home port. Raid Dusseldorf Again. Perlin.—The official communication given out by the German general staff says: "The airship hall at Dusseldorf has been hit by a bomb thrown by a hostile aviator. The roof of the hall FIRING LINE Highlanders on the firing line, the was pierced and the cover of an airship in the hall was demolished." Cholera Spreads in Hungary. London.—The Venice correspondent of the Evening News wires that cholera is spreading throughout Hungary to such an extent that officials are greatly alarmed. The schools in Budapest have all been closed because of the danger of infection. London.—A dispatch from Rome to the Exchange Telegraph Company says: "A message from Vienna announces the outbreak of Asiatic cholera in a most violent form at Tarnow, in Galicia. Forty cases, the message says, were reported on Tuesday." Italy Brings Home Troops. A Naples dispatch says that twenty Italian transport ships, heavily escorted by Italian warships, have sailed to bring back the Italian troops now in Tripoli and Cyrenaica. Their place will be taken by a volunteer corps just formed in Italy. The movement is universally accepted in Italy as another one of the steady preparations for eventual participation in the present war. Should Italy take possession of Trieste and Trent as it is expected it will do if it joins with the Allies, it will thus have one hundred thousand more trained soldiers than otherwise, the troops being brought back from Tripoli being still subject to military duty under a general mobilization. Italy's "precautionary mobilization" now consists of about a half million soldiers. These comprise the chief military units that would be employed in a war against Austria. The task of these troops is to make the preparations necessary for the filling out to war strength of all the units the instant a general mobilization is ordered. Prussian Losses 211,000. London.—The forty-four lists of losses in the Prussian army which have been published contain a total of 211,000 killed, wounded and missing, according to a Reuter Telegram Company dispatch from Amsterdam. The lists do not include the losses among the Bavarians, Saxons and Wurtemburgians. A Big Army in Bosnia. Paris—A dispatch to the Havas Agency from Cettinje says the Austrian troops, who on October 8, fought the Montenegrins on the way to Sarayevo, were 200,000 strong. for the Belgian general staff to transport feed and find quarters for their men in Belgium and provides for Belgian interpreters. The landing places designated are Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne. Lieutenant Colonel Bernardiston is quoted as having remarked that for the present Holland could not be relied upon. Another confidential communication declares that the British government, after the destruction of the German navy, would seud supplies and provisions by way of Antwerp MEN WHO APPLY MAY GO TO WORK GOVERNMENT RULES THAT MINERS WHO VOLUNTEER MAY BE EMPLOYED. WILL BE PROTECTED ORDER ISSUED BY COL. LOCKETT IN COMMAND OF THE FED- ERAL TROOPS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Trinidad, Colo.—Miners who voluntarily seek employment in the coal mines of the strike district's Colorado, occupied by the federal troops, will not be prevented from going to work, but will be given full protection by the federal authorities. This was emphasized in an order issued by Col. J. Lockett, in command of the federal troops. The order embodies a communication from the secretary of war, which was in reply to a letter submitted to the War Department some weeks ago by Colonel Lockett asking the secretary of war to clearly define the policy of the government relative to the employment of men in the coal mines. This inquiry was sent to the War Department owing to the comment of a number of coal operators throughout the state at the time that the original order of the War Department was made public in the month of July, which provided that men seeking employment in the mines must be, among other things, residents of the state of Colorado. The language of this order was considered to be somewhat vague as to the general provisions relative to residency. The order just made public plainly asserts that a liberal construction must be placed on the word "resident," and that the only purpose of the War Department and the President of the United States in issuing the order had been to prevent the importation of strike breakers on the part of the coal companies, but that no other class of workmen would be prevented from going to work: The order clears the atmosphere regarding this feature of the coal strike, and the policy of the government in relation to the employment of men cannot be mistaken. The operators declare they have not been importing any men, but they have employed only such men as they needed and such men as have voluntarily come to the mines seeking employment, and under these conditions the federal authorities will not interfere. Would Make Aliens Work on Farms. Would Make Aliens Work on Farms. Wichita.—The time may come when the United States government will be obliged to force all immigrants to the farms by law, in order to balance the scale in the relation of population to food supply, was the assertion made before the International Dry Farming congress here by Dr. E. Dana Durand, professor of economics in the University of Wisconsin. "The question of feeding our millions of people is an old one in the United States," he said "but little by little it has become a more pertinent one, until now it has reached an alarming stage." Girl Injured as Horse Bolts. Girl Injured as Horse Bolts. Boulder. — Miss Virginia McCrea, daughter of Harry M. McCrea, 1417 Downing street, Denver, was scratched and bruised from head to foot when she was thrown from her horse and dragged 100 yards along the gravelly baseline road, two miles southeast of this city. Miss McCrea's clothing was torn off. Her face was badly bruised and her nose broken. She was taken to the University hospital. Convicted Slayer Alleges Prejudice. Convicted Slayer Alleges Prejudice. Fort Collins.—Charging that David Williams, one of the jurors who sat on the case when he was tried and convicted of murder and sentenced to death, was prejudiced and had made a statement to that effect before he entered the jury box, W. J. Ryan, who killed N. W. Crose, attorney, filed a motion for a new trial. Turkey and Portugal Prepare for War. London.—There was every indication that Turkey and Portugal would be drawn into the war. Portugal has not declared war on Germany as was reported, but a partial mobilization of her forces will be ordered, and martial law has been declared in Portuguese Congo. Boulder.—Leslie B. Kelso, coroner of Boulder county, had his left arm broken, several teeth knocked out, his face badly bruised, and his back wrenched when he lost control of a motorcycle on which he was riding in Boulder canon. He was hurled over a bank at the side of the road. Hunt Yields to Prevent Clash. Washington.—A telegram from Governor Hunt of Arizona Wednesday night, announcing that no movement of the state militia to the Mexican border had been authorized and expressing the governor's desire to cooperate in avoiding further complications of the situation on the border, was received with much relief by President Wilson and Secretary Garison. Governor Hunt is said, however, to be holding his militia in readiness. OPEN FOR BUSINESS New Dining Room in Connection to Keystone Social Club. Nothing like it ever attempted in Denver.

Writ Directing State Auditor to Issue Voucher for Stenographer's Salary Granted by Judge Allen. Denver.—Employees of the State Public Utilities Commission are not amenable to the civil service law. Judge Allen of the District Court so ruled in granting Miss Grace Murray a writ of mandamus directing State Auditor Roady Kenehan to issue vouchers for her salary as a stenographer for the commission for the months of August and September. Kenehan refused to sanction payment of Miss Murray's salary because she had not taken the civil service examination before she became stenographer for the commission. Contending that the affaire of the commission are not subject to civil service regulation, which contention was shared by members of the board itself, Miss Murray's counsel instituted a test suit. Judge Allen's decision was based on the fact that the public utilities act was passed after the civil service commission was created. The attorney general gave notice that he would apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of supersedeas. Daughters Give Banquet of States. Denver.—The "banquet of states" given by the Robert E. Lee Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, was held, with Mrs. William O. Temple, president of the chanter, as toastmaster. The Rev. John H. Houghton delivered the invocation.

Denver. — Approximately 12,000 acres of state land were sold at public auction in the office of the State Land Board in the Capitol building, for about $120,000. The land is in Routt, Weld, San Miguel, Lincoln, Jackson, La Plata, Fremont, Jefferson, Morgan, El Paso, Bent and Moffat counties, and had been requisitioned by the purchasers. Individual prices paid for tracts ranged from $3.50 to $25 an acre. The proceeds of the sale will be transferred to the school fund. No further sales will be made until Nov. 4. May Retain Old Postal Block Denver.—The old postoffice building at Sixteenth and Arapahoe is to continue as a home for government offices. George E. Hosmer, collector of customs, just returned from Washington, has recommended that the government offices located in various buildings be assembled in the old building after the new federal building is opened. It is probable that his suggestions will be adopted. It is Hosmer's plan to remodel the old structure and make room for every office with the possible exception of the forestry department. Forming New Militia Company. Denver.—A new company of the Colorado National Guard will soon be mustered in at Berwin Cañon, where much of the fighting occurred between coal strikers, mine guards and militiamen while the state troops were on duty in the coal strike field. Adjutant General Chase of the National Guard said that the company is now being mustered in. The organization will be known as Company K of the Second infantry, according to General Chase. Paul Burnett Gets Philippine Post. Denver.—Word was received by J. A. Burnett of the appointment of his son, Paul H.

Barnett, Democratic national committeeman from Colorado, has been appointed attorney for the State Public Utilities Commission. Springer Asks Mercy for Henwood. Denver:—John W. Springer recommended to Governor Ammons that he grant a commutation of sentence to Harold Frank Henwood from death to life imprisonment. It is the second time that the capitalist has shown his friendship for the man who says that his killing of Sylvester ("Tony") L. von Phil and George E. Copeland came about in efforts by him to recover personal letters von Phil had obtained from Mrs. Isabel Patterson Springer, the banker's former wife.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington. — Greater corn crop prospects by 78,000,000 bushels and great improvement in tobacco, increasing the prospects of that crop over the forecast in September by 92,000,000 pounds, were the features of the Department of Agriculture's October crop report. The COLORADO STATESMAN An increase of 11,000,000 bushels in the potato crop, 21,000,000 bushels in the oats crop and 10,000,000 bushels in the apple crop also were forecasted.

Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction CONFER ON STRIKE SITUATION. President and Secretary Wilson Discuss Conditions in Colorado. Washington.—Following the return of Secretary Wilson of the Department of Labor, President Wilson conferred with him on the Colorado strike situation, which is causing the President much concern. The President still is seeking to have the mine operators accept the basis of agreement already accepted by the miners. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver The operators have adopted the attitude that most of their mines are now running at almost full time, but the President is determined to bring an end to the situation, which necessitates the presence of federal troops in the mine district.

An enterprising laundryman in Paris uses a captive balloon to lift the clothing which he wishes to dry and bleach high into the air, uncontaminated by the dust of the city. A good many people sympathize with the under dog, but they don't want the upper dog to know it, says the New York Times. M. AN afternoon gown which is elaborate enough for formal occasions and quiet enough for the informal will appeal to most women. Here is one which is novel and beautiful In composition and in which the wearer might feel at ease at an afternoon tea or an evening reception. It is conservative as to style, graceful in outline, and of a type which will outlive a single season. Gray satin forms the foundation of the skirt, which is bordered at the bottom with two scalloped flounces, each about a quarter of a yard in width when finished, and bound with a narrow piping of the silk. The skirt escapes the ground by about three inches, measured from the middle of the edge of the scallops, and is comfortably wide, approaching two yards. This gives plenty of room even considering demands of dancing. At the head of the second flounce scant festoons are arranged in the material. They are caught up with small bows of the fabric and are simply two shallow folds tacked to position. Extra width is allowed in the upper flounce to allow for this draping. A tunic of voile, in the same color is the silk, reaches to within twelve inches of the bottom of the skirt, or may be made longer. It is laid in side plaits at the waist line and allowed to flare below the hips. A narrow hem finishes the bottom. Trans- Ready for the Cold Weather ```markdown ``` 5 N clothes for little girls as well as in those for womankind the "fur-cloths" (by which name the new plushes are called) will be found exceptionally good. They are woven more supple than ever, in a greater number of colors and in greater variety of design. Plushes are used for coats, for neckpieces and muffs and for hats made to be worn by children, big and little. They answer all these purposes for grown-ups and furthermore are combined with cloth or velvet in street and visiting dresses or entire costumes. For the little girl of three and upward the broadtall and chinchilla patterns are made into elegant little coats that fasten close about the neck. Besides its comfort the coat of plush hoe the greatest durability to recom- the greatest durability to receive parent tunics may be counted upon as a strong feature in the coming styles. They are sometimes stayed with a small wire at the bottom and often bordered with fur or marabout feathers. The bodice has a foundation of figured chiffon in which vague figures in rich colors on a white background appear. The short sleeves are lengthened with a border of handsome lace. A wide black lace in princess design overlaps the chiffon foundation, extending over the chiffon portion of the sleeves and along the sides and partly over the front and back of the bodice. An overbodice of the gray voile is draped on the foundation and trimmed away in a "V" shape at the neck. This leaves a small vestee of the figured chiffon. Revers of satin are set on the bodice at the front, with panels of the satin extending from them to the waist line. They widen toward the bottom, merging into a narrow belt at the sides, which is finished with a flat bow at the back. A fine lace-edged net collar corresponds with the lace finish of the sleeves. A border of cliffon, of the same color as the volle in the dress, is set under the pointed edge of the lace in the lower sleeves. The bodice fastens at the front with small satin-covered buttons. A mend it. Linings are made of figured crepe or silk showing small figures or flowers on a light ground. Muffs and neckpieces, much to be preferred over those of cheap fur, and as inexpensive, are made of fancy plushes for the little ones. It is a pretty fashion to make these sets with a hat or cap to match, and they are simple enough in construction to be easily made at home. A hat of mottled plush, in cream and white, is shown in the picture given here. It is faced with plain pink plush and trimmed with a flat bow of folded pink ribbon and a bunch of tiny roses. The same plush would make a delightful neckpiece and muff in which the wee wearer might be fortified against the coldest weather.
