alhtough the two-button garment will be very good. Four patch pockets.

two up and two down, will be awarded first place for pocket arrangement.

The one up and two down will also

be accepted, however. Coat Will Be Long.

The long coat of last 6Prlng, borrow

ed from our English cousins, will be even longer this fall. It will be made

to appear longer than It really Is, how

ever. Belts are to be discarded.

order.

Richmond streets this fall. It will be

of very loose, floppy felt, with a crease along the top of the hat. The narrow brim cloth hats will .also be in vogue.

discard. ' The narrow black silk knit

ted four-in-hand tie will be worn. A narrow, low cut stiff collar, will be

worn by the well dressed young man

plain -white shirt and black tie will be

very noticeable this fall. Madras

shirts are good although the silk shirt

will always be popular. Shoes Unchanged

No difference is noted In footwear

for men. Efforts are being made to

Interest the young man in low cut

shoes and spats for winter wear but It Is not thought that the Idea will

anneal to the Richmond young man.

toe Is predicted. Styles la gloves and socks for the

Campers' Numbers Decrease At Chautauqua; Vacations Are Blamed for Shortage

Indications are that the number of campers at the Chautauqua this year

will not be as large as last year

that Chautauqua officials had ever had.

There are about 175 reservations at the Chautauqua headquarters at the

Y. M. C. A. William Keys, in charge of the offices, believes that the number will be increased to about 200 by next Friday.

many persons in Richmond are spend

ing summer vacation? at lakes and

ANGLICAN BISHOPS ASK REUNION OF CHURCHES

(By Associated Fresii) LONDON, Aug. 11. Reunion of churches is urged in an appeal to "all Christian people" framed by bishops of the Anglican church who attended the recent conference at Lam bath, which was made public today in connection with a statement by the archbishop of Canterbury covering the work of the conference. The scope of the appeal, according to the archbishop's statement, is limited only "by the limits of the Christian churches of the world." The appeal is "directed to the orthodox churches of the East and to the great Roman communion of the West no less than to the free churches which have grown to maturity among the Anglo-Saxon races. Its scope is so wide that there can be no doubt large numbers of the bishops who issued it had in mind those of our kith and kin in the great Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and Congregational communions with whom, although they are separated from the church, the Anglican communion has so much in common, both in faith and in practice."

MANY people wonder how we can make such remarkable concessions in the price of furs. The unheard of cost of "green" furs would almost seem to make price reductions an impossibility. But have you ever thought of "idle sales pisSodsr' Think of the "overhead expense" when clerks aren't busy, and yet there must be a sufficiency of clerks to meet "rush season" needs. One step toward the efficient ia to spread the load evenly over the entire eeason, equalizing the dull periods with the excessively busy ones. Our August Fur Sale helps to eliminate the costly "idle periods" and reduces the "overhead" expense. This benefit goes to our customers in lower prices. Don't be misled into thinking that prices will drop later in the season. That is an impossibility. No new furs are coming in and present demands exceed the supply. Your only chance for realizing "fur economy" is to buy now. Many choice pieces of wonderful beauty and luxuriousness are offered here at prices that will be impossible later.
