Moon Blunders
The moon has innocently been the
cause of much blundering ou the part
of authors. Wilkie Collins in some
mysterious fashion made it rise ou one
important occasion in the west. Ri ier
Haggard in "King Solomon's Mines"
contrives an eclipse of the new moon
for the benefit of his readers, and Cole
ridge ingeniously places a star between
the horus of the crescent moon as she
rise? in the east.
Logic
"You little girl is very pretty. Is
she the prettiest you have?"
"Yes. she is the prettiest of my
daughters."
"How many have you?"
"This one only. But that doesn't
make any difference. If you should
have many daughters the one with
von is always the prettiest."—Blanco

Recovery of Famous Art Treasure
From Earthquake Ruias Said to
Have Disclosed Crime
By Assocted Pre**,
Rome, March 25. 5,25 P. M., Via

ery by the police of a famous art treas
ure stolen from the parish church of
M;.ssa D Aloe after it was destroyed

murdered by his brother, according to

When the ruins of the church were

that a noted Bvzautine triptych, exe
cuted on ivory used as an altar piyce,
as well as other religious objects, were

large sum.
The police now claim to have learned
that when part of the church was
wrecked the priest was buried with the
art treasures in a section of the build

its massive walls were part of aa old
fort built on solid rock.
The priest was slain, the authorities

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?
This question and "How to Prevent
Colds" is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really a fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food-1
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. It contains nature's medicinal
fats, so skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop, and it is
free from harmful drugs or-alcohol.

MODES FOR TOP
( ' COAT AND SUIT
The Late Skirts Show Trimming at the
Lower Edge—Picot Edged
Kibbons
New York, March "6.
The proper wrap and the proper suit
for Spring are the tirst questions which
crop into the woman's mind with the
beginning of the balmy weather. The
winter coat has been worn until one is
tired of it, and besides on the tirst warm
day it fofls so heavy and drags about
the neck, and we need something lighter
| to take its place.
| For general wear with the dress comes
j the coat in various styles. The model
i illustrated shows a new and very |wac
tical style in coats. In the back it is
j very full and falls in ripples while in
! the front it has less fulness. A wide
j gauntlet cuff is used on the sleeves, and
the high collar which tlares up as high
as the chin is unusually new and smart.
The model is developed in blue serge.
Other fabrics which are being used for
such a coat are black and white checked
coating, covert cloth, field cloth, gabar
dine, and for the fancy coat faille silk
is used.
i
i
A Full Separate Coat With New
Style Collar
Speaking of faille silk reminds mo of
! an unusual model which was shown in
one of the shops of oyster white faille,
it was very full, back and front anil the
entire thing was edged with a wide
1 band of blaek velvet.
Of no less importance is the suit.
! The materials are covert, serge,
| gabardine, voile gabardine which is a
I light weight fabric of the gabardine
i type, khaki or Held cloth, grosgrain
, cloth, covert cord, tweed, or homespun.
The suits tlsis season show a return
to the strictly tailored type. Of course,
i the military style is highly popular,
i This is so named more because of the
j placing of corded trimming and buttons
than in the general cut, although there
are some that have a very pronounced
military ent. and vitli pockets and belts
in the place accorded them by the
' maimers of British and French uniforms.
It is really strange how thoroughly
mixed are these military tendencies, it
taxes the fair-minded woman to her ut
most to be thoroughly neutral in her
dress, it can be dcr.e. however, for a
Uhlan hat may be worn with a dress
cut on strictly English field uniform
; lines.
The jackets vary in length, some are
moderately long in the back and cut
short in the front from the underarm
~eair.. Others are cut short all the way
around. The bolero with or without
sleeves is worn especially in the silk
i suits.
lii the secor.il illustration is a suit
j with an Eton jacket with V-neck and
1 buttons down the front. With this is
worn a full skirt which is stitched sev
eral times around the lower edge.. This"
is the type ot' suit that would make an
excellent traveling suit for the woman
who is going to the Pan-American or
upon any other journey.
The separate waists, which, of course,
are in great demand with the popular
ity of the suits, are shown in a large
variety this year. The plain styles
trimmed only with buttons and fasten
ing down the front are considered the
most correct, but they are slowly be
coming a little more elaborate with a
few tucks and a little shirring. These
are made of voile, chiffon, and crepe
de Chine while the ones shown for sum
mer are developed in handkerchief lin
en, voiie, Swiss and organdy. Very
plain covered buttons are used ou these
waists and some of very latest have
small ivory buttons soaped like quinine
capsules down the front. Most of the
waists are made with long, close sleeves
ami adjustable collars; that is. collars
which are closed high around the neck
or may be left open as desired.
Dresses are being finished around the
bottom of the skirts in many varioud
ways. A dress of net has a deep henl
of white taffeta figured in pink, which
was cut in deep scallops at the top edge.
A close-fitting bodice /bf the silk wns
covered with a flowing bolero of net
which was bo:md around the edges with
the figufrd silk cut on the bias.
Other skirts of net or chiffon have
hems eighteen inches deep of taffeta or
satin and many organdy dresses shown
have deep hems of colored silk. Nets
also have deep hems of colored organdy.
The scalloped lower edges are par
ticularly pretty and can be used with
good* effect on the bottom of sheer
summer dresses, if you are beginning to
think of making these. 'Points are also
used as well as squares. When very
sheer material is used, a narrow ruffle
of the. same material may be used to
run around the edges. In others, of
"pOR your benefit and to relieve the tremend
ous strain on our salespeople we beg of you to

a little heavier fabric a simple binding e
may be used to finish the edges. ii
i
The Eton Jacket With Full Skirt
Developed in Khaki
Still another way to finish the bot
tom ot' the skirt is to eonl it several
times on a small cord. The wide cord
has beeu usod, but several rows of liner
cording is much newer.
Fringed and pivot-edged box-pleat- .
ings arc also used a great deal and are
very effective around the bottoms of net
and tulle and some times taffeta dresses. I
These double and box-pleated rutiles are
about seven inches wide and sewed on '
the dress through the middle of the
ruffle, the upper edge is tacked at in
tervals unto the skirt, but between it
falls carelessly and gives the whole dress !
] a very fluffy and light appearance. j
Small flowers and ribbons or tulle
'are some times used together in forming
1 a very attractive finish around the bot
tom of a frock for evening wear.

How to
Buy Coal
It is necessary for the coal merchant to have full
particulars if he is to give you good reliable service.
Pell him if you have a llot Air, Steam or Ilot
Water Furnace. Whether it is large or small, and
it will be a good tiling for him to know about the
size of the'fire box.
The coal dealer will then be able to give more of
an idea what kind of coal will give you the best re
sults than if you merely inform him you want "fur
nace coal."
There arc many kinds and sizes of coal and it is
important that you get the kind that is best suited
to your conditions.
We have two yards containing many varieties, tell
us about your requirements.
