Sept. 20.—Though the j weather man continues his madden [ ing report of “fair and warmer,” we fear him not at all, for we have fat weightier things on our minds than the mere rise in temperature. The time to seriously plan the autumn wardrobe has come, and nothing can interfere with that delightful task, indeed, it must be more carefully planned this year than ever. There is no better formula for the woman of fashion than “personality plus patriotism.” Naturally the coat plays a very im portant part in the scheme of things this time of the year. Cool weather demands a coat, and fashion decides which kind of a coat. The smart wrap makes a deep impression on the casual observer, for as everyone knows, appearances count for a great deal n this world. There are top coats and suit coats and evening coats; and, oh, the number of fasci nating models there are to choose from. The top coat has been so very popular for some time that we have o Know Is to Own An Oliver Plow THE PLOW THAT HAS PLOWED CLEAN, HONEST FURROWS AROUND THE WORLD . - 11 i A plow that scours perfectly even in sticky, difficult soil. A Plow that has a long, shapely mouldboard that turns the soil as it should he turned. A plow that is a money saver on repairs—that does better work with lighter draft all the time and under all conditions. We have a full line of Oliver and Brinlev plows, Oliver No. 11 Sul key Plows, Grain Drills, and a full line of the celeb tted Inter national Harvester Company implements. Mixo -McClintock Co. FARM SUPPLIES OF ALL KINDS come to feel that no wardrobe is complete without at least one. On fifth avenue one feels almost non plussed by this great variety. There are coats that cling to the figure, proclaiming in every line their al legiance to the straight silhouette. The draped coats, rivals of the straight line effects^ have soft puf fings and folds cunningly arranged to give the required fullness across the hips. There are coats without a bit of trimming, there are coats with braid, and coats with fur, and coats with buttons. The Chinese influence so strongly predicted by Paris, has not as yet gained the ascendency, though I saw a stunning wrap the other day. a combination of beige and black, hanging straight from the shoulders, with the wide kiinona sleeves and narrow belt. There was a waistcoat of many colors, In em broidery and beads; indeed, the waistcoats are quite a feature of this mode. The coat for every day wear must of necessity be extremely simple, depending on the charm of line, color and material instead of a great deal of trimming. Fur ,s still used (o a great extent, though not so univer sally as last year, when one felt completely out of style if there was not a mile or two of fur on coat and dress. Collars, cuffs and pockets may be handed with fur. or, ir satin is used, a very pretty trimming is wide Herculese braid. Stitching, too, will be used a great deal. Two or three rows on collar and cuffs make an exceedingly pretty finish. Manj of the coats fasten up to the neck with with broad collars of the earns material or of velvet, fur or satin. A particularly good example of the smartness of simplicity Is illustrated here. It has the Empire waistline so becoming to the young girl or tha small woman with the girlish figure. It belongs to the drapery family, though the straight silhouette is also followed. The smart pockets are really useful as well as being orna ment|L The collar, fastened so snug ly here, Is equally attractive if left hanging loose. Sometimes a swagger shoulder cape is worn with this eype. -o— THOROUGHBRED DUROCS FOR SALE. Two sows and two boars. 2 months old. Weaned. Each $20.00. *28 CHAS McKeEE — . 1.1., i.
