which you hear and read so much about, we offer a machine that is perfected, absolutely perfect, a machine in which not the smallest detail can be improved.

And in order to get you to realize this superiority as we do, we have decided three things. First, that we cannot afford to advertise its low price—you would never imagine that you could get so perfect a machine forso little money. To appreciate its price, you must come to the store and see the machine first.

BROWNS IN FAVOR

COLOR IS POPULAR IN EVERY SORT OF HUE.

8evere Models in Favored Shades Are 8een Everywhere—Design Shows a Rough Weave Flecked

With White.

Nobody who Is taking notice of passing events would say that the lesson to be gleaned from the changes of raiment of a young woman of this period during the spring, summer, autumn and winter is not gained at some cost. A mere outsider not acquainted with the intricacies of the case—papa, for instance—would say that it is "dear" enough! Daughter calls it "just too dear for anyttyng," and here we get the subtleties of meaning in a mere word. Papa's side is the tragically serious one and daughter's frequently savors of melodrama.

To explain why the lesson is a 'deer" one, it is because it was learn-

od of the lovely wild creatures that haunt wood and glen and drink from the crystal waters of hillside streams. Once again the "all lover" changes the spelling and describes them as "dear" because they are, writes Anna M. Dennlston in the Chicago News.

The dress of early fall for the human, as for the deer, is firm and fine. Everything is at Its best, because this is the newest of all seasons. All the past—the old year's winter, spring and summer—has been canceled for a fresh beginning of things. Lines, colone, textures have all been revised and there is no "making over," for this is an utterly different period, possibly an epoch in fashion circles.

Tailor-mades for the street, for the drive, for traveling and for the more elaborate uses are simple things that seem most like a "native dress" with some stability—always modeled in their main lines and features after a certain formula. It has forever—as we count forevers in these quickly, moving times—the same copi collar, the same stitched seams, tSfe same close lines, the same qualities of good service for a goodly variety of uses. They tell us that the browns are going to bid strongly for favor this season and the signs sanction the statement. The brown into which has been poured some of the purple of the grape or some of the ruddy hue of the maple leaf—turned scarlet—or some of the yellow of an autumn hickory leaf— all these various shades are really very rich and ripe and cheerful.

variations of them that result in the models now becoming so popular. See, for Instance, the close but rough weave just flecked with white. The jacket lines are on the coat order —collar with lapels and cuffless sleeves trimmed with buttons. This is trimmed on seams, pockets and cuffs with a rich dark-brown braid and the skirt Is plain to an extreme, with a soft circular ripple about the fe

Braid.ed Rugs.

Braidel rugs, round and oval, in blues, wimes and blacks, with a faint weaving of rose or soft red, are to be used in l'ront of bedroom fireplaces this winter. College people will delight in the rugs designed especially for them. They are made up in the different college combinations of colors, and any special insignia or year can be woven in to order. These rugs are not expensive.

Tha New Sleeves.

All dress and coat sleeves continue to be small, and the vogue of the seamless dress top may be ceunted upon to last for formal dress purposes well into the spring. The style is decidedly graceful and may be infinitely varied.—Harper's Bazar.

TRICK OF BINOCULAR VISION

Young Lad Apparently Sees Little Canary Bird Walk Into Cage, But He Does Not.

"Guess what I have in my hand, Harry," said Uncle Dick, holding one hand teasingly behind his back. "Some books?" "No." "A new magic lantern." "No, I shall have to tell you," and he drew forth a big white sheet of paper, upon which was drawn an open bird-cage, at the right a dotted line, beyond the dotted line a little bird, writes Belle Lawrence in Youth's Companion. "Now, Harry," said Uncle Dick, as he drew up a chair beside that of his

Bird In the Cage.

nephew, "you see the little bird outside the cage? Well, soon you shall see the little bird walk right into the oage without our having to touch the bird, the cage, or the pencil." "Oh, how?" cried Harry, in astonishment.

In answer to this question Uncle Dick placed the paper in Harry's hand and drew from his pocket an ordinary calling card, which he told Harry to place upon the dotted line and watch the bird, oarefully, .bis HQae Jyjjt touch-

Beautify Your Lawn

Have yonr ramower sharpened by the very latest method. We have erected in our shop one of the famous Ideal Lawnmower Grinders, a machine especially built for the purpose of grinding Lawnmowers, which does the wox-k perfectly. If you will favor us with your patronage, we guarantee to give you back your Mower in better condition than the day you bought it. It will be sharp and stay sharp longer than the old style way, which is usually done by inexperienced workmen with a file or on an emery wheel. Next time your mower needs sharpening bring it in and we will make it cut so nicely that it will surprise you.

lng the card. All was still in the room for a moment and then aHrry cried out: "He Is moving—he really is—there he goes right Into the cage!"

Just then the card dropped and Harry looked at the paper In amazement, for there was the cage, the dotted line, and the bird beyond the dotted line just as it had been before.

Uncle Dick laughed at Harry's confusion, then explained to him that it was a sort of trick that the bird did not really go into the cage at all, yet It seemed so to him because It was a proof of simple sight with both eyes, or, and he laughed at the look of wonder in the little boy's face, "what wise men like your old uncle know as binocular vision."

Harry committed the long word to memory, and not willing to be outdone, drew a cage with two birds outside, then a whole flock, and joyously watched them journey Inside the bars.

MEANING OF SCARLET THREAD

Woven Into British Naval Rope as Positive Method of Identification of Royal Property.

Ever since the day of Nelson, a peculiar custom has been observed in the British navy. A scarlet thread is woven Into every one of the thousands of ropes used in the British naval service. This includes all ropes from the smallest heaving line to the largest hawser. Several romantic suggestions have been advanced as to why the thread is woven into the ropes, but the real reason is a simple and practical one.

It simply means a sure way of identifying royal property, and if any rope with the red thread is found in unauthorized hands the presumption is that It was improperly taken. It ts forbidden that any rope manufactured for private use contain the red thread, in just the same way that in the United States the manufacture of paper for private use containing bits of silk is forbidden. This paper in the United States is used for currency purposes only.
