West of the rest room is a big Ktoc kronm. In tiie rear of the second floor, a well lighted Hewing and work room has been laid out together with an enclosed office supply room. The entire building has been fitted with its own steam heating system. This concern carries the largest line of exclusive Women's, Misses' and Children's wearing apparel, permitting the widest range of choice. Every four or five weeks the management makes trips to New York and Chicago in order to keep up to the minute in styles and correct dress fer women. The improvements which make this store modern throughout cost over $12,000.

Although established under an almost overwhelming opposition, the city light plant is the only paying possession the city has which is the real property of the corporation. This plant, which earns above operating expenses, more than $4,000 a month, is said to be a model one and bears the distinction of being one of the few municipal business ventures in the world which has Btood competition and come out ahead. Plans for the light plant were made as early as 1898. Although it was considered a wild dream in 1895. the idea was fostered and as city officials dropped out of the legislative body, the new executives were ready to take up the plan. When the matter finally came before council for a decision there was a deadlock, giving the mayor the right to vote. The resulting vote resulted in seven for and six against the construction of the plant.

HIS RETURN BANQUET.

It Was a Grand Social Success and Cost the Major Nothing. A Teteran officer in the United States army recently told of the shrewdness displayed by a major In the old days, lie hsid been appointed to the cominimd of an unify post on an island not a great wjiy from San Francisco. Soon fter his arrival there a French fleet dropped iinchor In the harbor. The commander invited the major aboard the flagship and entertained Mm royally. The idea struck the worthy major the next day that he was in honor bound to return the compliment, but he was staggered by the expense inTolved. To give a banquet befitting his dignity as a United States officer entertaining a distinguished representative of a foreign nation would mean bankruptcy, as the government had not authorized him to draw on its treasury for such a purpose, and the cost of the affair would have to come out of his own pocket. A bright idea struck him. He invited the naval risltors to bo bis guests the third day thereafter at an "American plcnJc." Then he sent invitations to the best people of the neighborhood to join him in a basket picnic at a grove near at hand on the same day, "to meet our French naval friends now on our shores." The people came with great baskets and hampers of provisions. A royal feost was spread in the grove, and the picnic was long remembered as one of the most notable social successes of Its time.

Cotton was cultivated to Morocco and sold in England during the Civil war in the United States, and during tae cotton crisis of 1871. After that period the demand failed and cultivation was dropped.

It was commenced in 1900 and before the plant had been completed $144,000 had been borrowed for its construction. The bonds are due in 1927 and are being taken up by the light plant sinking fund, into which is placed $660 monthly. In 1901 the operations were started and although there was some trouble with machinery at first, the plant has been running every day since that time. A $75,000 addition to the plant is now almost completed and with this the city expects to serve most of the business of the city. The result of the plant has been several reductions in the price of electricity, the

I latest one taking effect the irst of

next year, when patrons will be furnished with electricity for 54 cents a kilowat. Nlmrod Johnson, former city treasurer, has been superintendent of the plant for Beveral years. In charge of the work at the plant is one of the most efficient engineers in the city, Howard Gluys. The plant employs about twenty persons.

BROCADED VELVETS BOLD OF DESIGN TAKE THE LEAD FOR DRESSY WRAPS

Brilliant and glowing as were the summer fashions Ihose of the coming winter promise to be just as wonderful. Can you imagine anything richer than a duli green brocaded velvet coat in Russian design, with collar and cuffs of a soft, dark fur? The coat 1970 in its broad straight lines with the wide satin girdle conforms in every detail to fashion's demands. Aside from the fur a jade buckle and frogs ef bra'd across the front are the only trimmings. One ot the new duvetyns. ft figured matelasse, or a broadcloth rou'.d also be used with this design effectively, as well as any of the new norelty suitings that are being used so much. Tho pattern is cut in five sizes. 34 to 42. Size 36 requires S4 yards of St Inch material. A three-piece tunic is shown on 7971. The waist-line U

I raised slightly, and its general lines make it an excellent model to wear I with a separate blouse. Five pattern ! sizes may be had, 21 to SO. Size Zi rei quires 3 yards of 36 inch material. ' Simplicity still marks the fashionable ! afternoon gown. Few trimmings are ' used, effects being obtained by gracej ful draping of soft rich materials and I perhaps a quaint, narrow plaiting

edging tunic and fichu. Any of the new, supple crepes or silks could be used with 7916. One of the new yellows would be especially pretty.
