Topcoat Is Never Amiss. As I know of no garment that gives so much comfort and pleasure as a topcoat I urgently advise every woman to have at least one.

Whether one has a motor or not there Is a satisfaction in having a top coat ready for that unexpected trip; or for one when traveling and shopping. If one anticipates an European trip In the spring or summer, now Is the time to get a steamer coat. Undoubtedly the moBt charming topcoats In the history of fashion will be sacrificed in spite of their elegant sturdy tweed and homespun fabrics.

This la the popular opinion, but, like many another popular view, It 1 fallacious, says the Toledo Blade. Not that we aay so.

No, Indeed.

It Is declared in Washington that a special poison squad has been delivered over to the terrors of the rarebit It has passed through the ordeal smiling. Not a man was wounded. Not one lay down bis life.

R. Gocdlng of the association. THE first clothos event of the New Year Is not a change of fashion, but the crucial moment for the purchase of clothes at economies. Unfortunately for the merchants many women plan for the replenishing of their wardrobes at this season wfeen prices are diminished. Especially American women are thus clothes-wise.

Such women are not only financiers, but are geniuses, therefore they deserve not only the admiration of others less knowing but their husbands, writes Marlon Morris In the Chicago Inter Ocean. However, a woman must be conversant with values to be able to reap a harvest of economies. The woman who does not, and also the one who has no foresight about styles may be favorably compared with the man who b'iys a "gold brick." This year the knowing woman can easily save more money than ever before. Why? Prices Must Be Cut. For' several weeks the newspapers have published many bargain sales of women's clothes this signifies that the market Is crowded and that the pressure was too great to hold out until now.

During December, women gave little thought to any shopping except for Christmas, so the market was but little relieved. Now comes the onslaught! And It will be the most drastic cut of prices In years. To explain the reason I must turn the calendar back more than six months. Last May and the beginning of June were quite cool and women did not buy summer clothes until the weather changed. As a result, many stores held back their orders and that prevented the makers from starting on their autumn models.

Finally when they did start, labor troubles occurred throughout the country and everything stopped until the early autumn. Unfortunately, the warm weather lasted until later than usual. When the manufacturers started on their winter work they hurried to make up for lost time, thinking that the women who usually bought early would buy later. However, their calculations were overestimated and now the market Is flooded with some of the prettiest attire fashion has created In many seasons. So now there are dozens of advantageous opportunities heretofore unknown even to the clothes-wise woman.

Because a woman can always afford to bave several tailored suits especially when she Is able to get the extra one or two at greatly reduced Simple THE first Is a simple little bodice of cashmere to match the skirt with which It Is worn; It Is cut kimono, and has a yoke of satin to match, embroidered with floss silk; this is carried down outside of sleeve to cuff, which Is of satin. Guipure lace Is used for the small yoke and under-sleeves. Materials required: 1 yard cashmere 46 Inches wide, yard satin 23 Inches wide, 1 yard lace 18 Inches wide. The second would look well In sprigged nlnon made up over a foundation of Bat In; the slight fulness at neck Is drawn Into a narrow satin or velvet band; squares of embroidered satin are arranged at back and front, Long coats of watered moire silk are made in Paris tight, fitting, enveloping the wearer from head to foot. Heavy thread and metal laces are pretty features of the winter hats designed to wear with dressy clothes.

For evening wear gold or. silver tulle turbans are seen with tall aigrettes or groups of marabout feath ers. Ecrusse levant Is the t-me given to that fine grain leather of high finish that Is so popular for purses and bags. Chains are no longer In evidence for the black velvet bags; all bave long silk cords by which to swing them from the arm. Huge sailor or round collars of fur or fancy fabrics mark the 1911 evening coat, and bands of fur are at the foot of many.

Fine threads, fine dots, fine meshes and a general delicacy of structure Jem. Mace. The two met In January, 1862,, when, after 43 rounds, Maoe was given the verdict For the next ten years Mace was practically Invincible. Mace Is regarded as the father of the present style of boxing, because he Is the originator. When-the former English champion entered the professional prize ring the boxers stood toe to toe, with spikes In their shoes, and banged away at each other until one or both dropped to the floor exhausted.

At first Mace engaged In this style of fighting under the so-called London prize ring rules. Owing to the sturdl-neas of the men of his day he had little chance at that game and concluded to use a style of his own. He originated his style and for the first time in the history of 'the prize ring was seen fast feinting with both hands, side stepping and ducking. I Mace was an artist at scientific boxing and for that reason beat all bis oppo-' nenta easily. He struck a hard blow with all his cleverness and time and again In his battles blinded his opponents with his jabs and hooks.

Seldom did he come out of a bout bearing a mark of any kind, as he avoided all the attempts of his adversaries to land, with his ducking, side stepping and blocking. When Mace originated this clever style of boxing he feared no man and was matched with fighters weighing as much as 60 pounds more than himself. In those days his style of footwork, which he originated, was a revelation to the enthusiasts. It struck the marquis of Queensberry so forcibly that he caused the present rules to be drawn up. Mace also may be eald to.be the originator of the marquis of Queens-berry rules, because his cleverness at boxing prompted the makers to draw them up.

SOUTHWEST BORDER MARKED I Many Marble Monuments 8 how Boundary Line Between the United 8tates and Mexico. El Paso, Tex. Between El Paso and the Pacific coast- the boundary between the United States and Mexico Is marked with marble monuments. These are surrounded by steel picketed fences, the tops of the pickets bent Inward towards the stone. No.

Incidentally, "Rio Grande river" Is a misnomer, for "rlo" means "river," while Grande would be translated "great." Thus "Rio Grande del Norte," the Mexican name of the river, means "great river of the north," while El Paso, In Spanish, to "El Paao del Norte," or "The Pass to the North." Coat of Priceless Feathers. New York. Lilluokalanl, formerly queen of Hawaii, who often visits New. York, has a coat made of yellow feathers which could not be duplicated for $100,000, it Is said. The feathers are those of the Oo bird, now almost extinct In the Sandwich Islands.

There are only two of these exquisite feathers, one under each wing, and formerly the pretty little birds were destroyed by the hundreds of thousands, for the sake of these delicate fluffs. Now that the birds are almost exterminated a report has been made they are trapped by placing glue on the trees where they reat After the feathers are pulled out the oos are aet free. This cape Is of wonderful hue and was the emblem of loyalty to the reigning house In Honolulu. Only a few are In existence and tbey are prloeleaa.

I Even though one may not have urgent need for a set of furs or a fur coat, I am sure that the purchase of either will prove an excellent Investment. But in doing so, only purchase a staple fur. Do not think of buying either raccoon or opossum, as these furs have been popularized this season and as uierela fur, neither Is worth much. I should certainly recommend buying lynx, as this fur Is not always modish, but Is rapidly becoming extinct this season there were only 2,400 lynx animals to fill the demand.

However, do not buy a fur that Is called "Russian lynx," as that is only a Russian lynx cat genuine lynx comes from Alaska. Skunk, mink, ermine, genuine fox, Hudson aonl mnlpnlHn finri snhln nt miirfla will be advisable selections. Bodices also on shoulders and Sleeves these are finished off with little satin bands.

The fastening Is at the back, but the trimming of embroidered galloon is so arranged that It gives the appearance of side fastening. The collar and bands round the over-sleeves are bound with silk. The yoke and under-sleeves are of piece lace. Materials required: 1 yard cashmere, 14 yard silk on the cross, 2 yards galloon, 1 yard lace 18 Inches wide.

The velvet should, first of all, be stretched, pile side upward, over the steam from a kettle of boiling water. As the steam begins to rise, get some one to brush up the pile briskly with a stiff brush.

Then spread out flat to dry, and afterward brush llghily again. When the material has been worn a great deal and is very soiled sponge It lightly with benzine. Auto Bonnet for Baby.

In the first official announcement of the occasion, made by the national association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the leaders of the movement state that tbey hope to enlist all of the 83,000,000 church members In country. In one respect Tuberculosis day will differ from Tuberculosis Sunday of 19 10- Instead of requesting the churches to give to the tuberculosis cause a special Sunday service, the national association going to ask this year that meetings, at which the subject of tuberculosis and Its prevention can be discussed, be held on Sunday, April 30, or on any other day near that date, either in the week preceding or the week following.

"What we want," says Mr. Livingston Farrand. executive secretary of tne National Association for the Study arid Prevention of Tuberculosis, in report on this movement, "Is to have this whole subject of tuberculosis discussed In all of the 200,000 churches of the United States at as nearly the same time as possible."
