HERE IS KIMONO WRAP BIDS FAIR TO BE EXTREMELY POPULAR FOR OUTDOOR WEAR. Id*ea Comes From Paris, and Has Been Taken Up by Leaders of Fashion in America—Shown in Tan Eponge.

The Kimond wrap is the latest edict for outdoor wear, made by the Parisian fashion arbiters. It has already been taken up by the fashionable New York establishments and bids fair to be a popular spring and fall garment. The model shown is of tan epon&e, cut kimono style, and caught by one button on the left side. Around the sleeves are three rows of drawn work, an Inch wide and about three inches apart, headed by a narrow tuck. Four rows of the same work are used on the

The sleeves and bottom of the garment are finished with a narrow hem beneath which is used a foot deep frieze of soft twisted rope cord, the ends knotted to form tassels. A narrow collar and triangular revers of embroidery in varicolored oriental designs and above are narrow revers of black satin. The hat is black milan, faced with black velvet and with low trimming of white gull’s feathers across the back. Dresses of checked taffetas are sometimes veiled with gray marquisette.

CHILDISH MODES ARE SIMPLE

One Very Good Idea That Continues to Mark the Fashions of the Present Season.

Just at the present season of tbe year our thoughts turn naturally towards the little people and their requirements. Luckily for the young people of today, simplicity is the keynote of their fashions also, and the new coat and skirt costumes for schoolgirls continue to be made in serge or tweed with no trimming at all, beyond a little braiding perhaps on the coats. The skirts are slightly gored and finished with several rows of tailor-stitching at the hem, but they are more often arranged with a broad plait in . front amd another at the back, and a group of single plaits on either side, stitched down flatly for some little distance below tbe waist. The coats for schoolgirls’ costumes are of the simplest possible kind, double-breasted, and fastened with dark pearl or bone buttons. With these coats and skirts blouses in tine FTench flannel ure generally worn, with something bright in the way of a knitted Silk cravat and a patent leather belt to match. Those who prefer the full length coats have plenty of variety from which to choose in navy serge and in rough pilot cloth, In tweeds and in heather mixtures. Then, again, there are those fashionable blanket cloths, with the reverse side In some contrasting color, which can be used not only for the lining, but also for the oollars, cuffs and pocket flaps. — ; 3 Double tunics fall over satin skirts.

IN VOCUE

SEED PEARL JEWELRY AGAIN

Ornamentation That Had Its Day of Popularity Long Ago Has Returned to Favor. Get out your seed pearls that have been tucked away for years, for this once popular Jewelry is In favor again and is appearing in delightful forms. While the new designs are copies of the old French pieces, they never have the association of an antique, so dealers in the seed pearl Jewelry are making a specialty of remodeling and repairing the old brooches, bracelets and necklaces banded down from an earlier generation. If your boxes reveal no treasures, the modern effects are lovely. ' Very gorgeous is one festoon necklace of combination oval chains of smaller seed pearls and ending in the middle of the front In a long pendant.

Brooches —oval, round and slarshaped—are the size of an old fashioned watch or slightly smaller; and as a concession to modern taste, there are fascinating bar pins of various lengths, formed of connecting rings of the seed pearls, some with a round cluster brooch in the center. Lorgnette and watch chains of double or triple rows of the seed pearls are studded at intervals with oval or round clusters. A quaint bracelet copied from an heirloom has a solid studding an inch wide or pearls, with a large star shaped ornament flanked by two smaller ones. Two old band bracelets of seed pearls have just been made into a necklace, the joining being concealed with a fringe of the pearls finished with small drops. v Remarkably quaint are the long festoon earrings. These are rather trying and should he worn with caution by all save the woman of regular features and good skin.

NOW THE VANITY PENDANT

Latest Addition to the String of Those That Have Seemingly Become Indispensable. We have had coin pendants and watch pendants; now we have the vanity pendant. These are made double, the two swinging on a hinge' to reveal beneath a clear bit of mirror. Those pendants are somewhat larger than the ordinary ones, and are found in all sorts of quaint shapes and unusual studdings. An oblong one, shaped like a blunted wedge, is of greenish gold studded with bands of rhinestones and baroque pearls in a checkerboard design. Another has a fretwork of silver set with turquoise to form a bunch of for-get-me-nots in the center. ■ A third is a square of dull gold, with oval sapphire in the center, surrounded by a line of brilliants and a smaller sapphire sunk in each of the four corners. From this hang drops of the saplathe middle and one stone on Either end. An oval turquoise matrix, surrounded by a double row of seed pearls, is a pretty and becoming vanity pendant for a blonde.

The girl who has a handsome locket of quaint design of a past generation may convert it into a vanity pendant by inserting .a mirror in the picture space.

THANKSGIVING PSALM A Rhythmical and Grateful Chant.

• A teacher in a Terre Haut-e public school joins In the chorus: “Teaching Is a business which requires a great deal of brain and nerve force. Unless this force is renewed as fast as expended the teacher is exhausted before the close of the year. Many resort to stimulating tonics for relief. “For 3 years I struggled against almost complete exhaustion, getting what relief I could from doctors’ tonics. Then in the spring of 1903 I had an attack of la grippe and malaria which left me too weak to continue my* work. Medicine failed to give me any relief, a change of climate failed. I thought I should never be able to go back In school again. *T ate enough food (the ordinary meats—white bread, vegetables, etc.), but was hungry after meals. “I happened at this time to read an article giving the experience of another teacher who had been helped by Grape-Nuts food. I decided to try Grape-Nutß and cream, as an experiment It was a delightful experience, and continues so after a year and a half of constant use. “First, I noticed that I was not hungry after meals. “In a few days that tired feeling left me, and I felt fresh and bright, instead of dull and sleepy. “In three months, more than my usual strength returned, and I had gained 15 pounds in weight ■_* ■ *T finished the year's work without any kind of tonics—was not absent from duty even half a day. _ “Am still In best of health, with all who know me wondering at the improvement “I tell them all Try Grape-Nuts!’** Name gives by Postsk Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a reason.”

GAME HAS GONE BACK

Anson Says Baseball Not Up to Standard of Otd Days. So Many Leagues Requiring Player* That There Are Not Enough Stars to Go Around —Gives Names of Old Players.

“You can state it as emphatically a* you desire as coming from me, that the article of ball being furnished in the major leagues today is not up to the standard of play when I was in the game,” was the statement made by Captain Adrian C. Anson, one. of the grand old men of the game. Pop added:

“There is a reason for this. The National League was organized in 1876, and the cream of all the players in the country were gathered together in the eight clubs. The National League had full sway for about ten years. Each season we skimmed off the stars and brought them into the ranks. Then the old American Association was launched and more players were needed. The skimming of players continued. American League started off by grabbing all of the stars of the National League, Other leagues grew up and the demand was greater than the supply. At the start the American League furnished a better article of ball than the National, because the ranks of the latter had been raided. The parent organization had to go out for new blood. It takes years to develop a ball player, even after his natural ability has been demonstrated. The National League has Improved until today it is a toss up whether It or the American League is playing the better ball. --

“The game is fast getting back to where it was when I quit. It may take a few years, but it is bound to get there. Ask a fan of the present generation to pick stars, who compare with the old ones, and he will probably name Cobb, Wagner and Collins and stop there. Not so in my time. The equal of Buck Ewing as a catcher has never been known to the game. They try to tell me that Johnny Kling was the equal of Buck, but he never was in his class. I can name quite a few catchers who were equal, if not better, than Kling. It is the same down the line, McCormick, Clarkson, Radbourne, Keefe, Welsh, Ferguson and Rusie were better pitchers than they have today. No one was ever in King Kelly’s class as a base stealer. For hitters look over this bunch and see how they compare with the swat artists of today; Brouthers, Connors, O’Rourke, Delahanty, White, Rowe, Richardson. Thompson. Many others could be named. “The great trouble with the major league teams today is the fact that they are forced to pick players before they are ripe for fast company to fill the ranks. In a few years these youngsters will develop into stars, and then they will give a good account of themYoung men are beginning to realize the great field which is open to them in baseball, and they are learning to play the game, which is bound to get better and stronger in the years to come.”

WE JACKSON IS SPEEDIEST

Professional Timer Declares Cleveland OuifieJdor Fastest Man on Bases in League. George Dietrich, a professional timer of anything that is in motion, from pacers, trotters, automobiles to aeroplanes, has become interested in the speed of ball players, and he declares that in his opinion Joe Jackson of Cleveland is the'fastest man in baseball. >
