London, Dec. 23.—King Edward VII., queen Alexandra aud their children and grandchildren will spend Christmas at Sandringham. as In former years and the celebration of Yuletide will ibe in accordance with the traditions of old England and typical of the hospitality of the fine old palace. The program for the celebration will bo simple, but (Impressive and the distribution of presents will be uuusually liberal. The providing of presents is not a small matter at the British court . The king and the queen not only give presents to the members of their immediate family and their numerous relatives scattered all over the continent, but also to all the members of ihe royal household, the officials and employees of the various palaces and country seats and to hundreds of other persona, in some way connected with the royal establishment. There are alone about three hundred persons connected with the royal establishment and everyone of them will be remembered. Each cottager, laborer and other workman at Sandringham receives his six pounds of beef for the Christinas dinner and other good things The celebration in the royal family will not be until Monday. After the distribution of presents In the morning the king and queen us well as all the other members of the house party will attend Christmas service in St. Mary Magdalene church. After service lunch Will ibe served and after lunch the royal stables and kennels will be visited. In the afternoon the members Of the lam- iliy will devote themselves to the time- honored pastime of bowling. The Christmas dinner will bo eaten in the handsome dining room at Sandringham and the boar's head with the apple and the peacock will adorn the festive board after the time-honored custom. Berlin, Dec. 23.—Probably no European court ls giving Christmas presents on so extended a scale as the court of emperor William. Everyone gives presents to everyone else and thc task of selecting the most appropriate gifts ,is not an easy one. For weeks the emperor as well as the empress and their grown up children have haunted the shops whore Christmas presents are sold •and many a dealer has beeu pleasantly ■surprised by large and liberal ordera for members of the imperial family. As usual the emperor will distribute a large number of his portraits, cigar and cigarette cases, matchboxes and other trifles, while the empress has purchased a carload of handsome gifts for the ladles of the court, the hundreds of employees and servants and for hundreds of poor pensioners. The Christmas celebration in the imperial family will be of a strictly intimate character. Only the immediate members of the family will take part in it and sit at the table at the Christmas ■dinner, which always ls a regular family affair. Rome,Dec. 23,—In accordance with old custom Christmas will be celebrated by the royal family in orthodox fashion. There will be a Christmas tree for the youngest members of the family and bountiful gifts for every one of the giown up members and the oflclals, servants and employees of the royal ihoufeehoHd. Thousands of gifts will be distributed to the children of the poor and those in thc various charitable institutions, in the name of the royal children. Washington, Dec. 23.—Christmas is always a happy time in the family ol! president Roosevelt, as It la lu every niappy family where there are many children and the means for a comfortable subsistence aro not lacking. This year the engagement of Miss Alice Roosevelt to congressman Nicholas Longworth. coming just before the holidays ihas added another note of joy to the festive harmony of Christmas happiness. For weeks the preparations for Christmas have been going on at the White House antl although thore will be no tree, the children having outgrown the tree period, It Is safe to say there will be no happier family In thc land than that of tho president when tho great moment, of distributing the gifts of love arrives. Both the president and Mrs. Roosevelt are devoted to their family and never happier than at Christmas time when they can fairly overwhelm their dear children with gifts. Mrs. Roosevelt is a thoroughly sensible and conservative woman and makes a careful selection of the presents she -bestows. There is some handsome piece of her own handiwork for eaoh of the children, particularly the girls and in the kindness ot her heart, Airs. Roosevelt never fails to remember everyone of the servants and employee:; of the household with some appropriate and handsome gift, which invariably bears the stamp of her individuality. FALLIBRES AND DOUMERS' RIVALRY MAY DEFEAT BOTH. Paris, Dec. 23.—premier Rouvier is developing marked strength as a posr- slble dark horse in the coming presidential election. The national assembly meets at Versailles. January 18, to elect a successor to president Loubet. Tbe palace there is now being prepared to receive the nine hundred senators and deputies constituting the assembly, and the near approach of the voting is causing an active canvass on behalf of the various candidates. M. FaUleres, president of the senate, has thus far been considered the leading candidate and his supporters say he is already sure of a majority In the assembly. M. Fallieres relies chiefly on the precedent established by M. Loubet in going from the presidency of the senate to the presidency of the republic. However, the candidature of M. Fallieres does not arouse popular enthusiasm and the opposition is combining to support Dou- mers, who is president of the chamber of deputies. M. Doumers represents the younger and more -active element. His candidature is popular but he has the antagonism of some strong groups in both chambers. It Is expected that the first 'ballot will be divided between M. Fallieres and M. Doumers, with some votes for Leon Bourgeois, the former premier, Henry Brisson, another former premier and former president of the chamber of deputies, Paul de Chanel, president of the committee on foreign and colonial affairs of the chamber, minister of war Etienne and minister of marine Thomson. Should the claims of the friends of M. Fallieres of an assured majority materialize Uie contest would be short and decisive, however the sharpness of the struggle between M. Fallieres and M. Doumers may prolong the contest and lead to the presentation of a dark horse in the person of premier Rouvier, who hns thus far withheld from the contest. President Loubet has positively declined to be a candidate for a second terms but tlie possibility remains of the assembly making him an unwilling candidate. Still the contest appears to be narrowed down to M. Fallieres and M, Doumers, with M. Rduvier. Bourgeois, Brisson and the others named, making up the field of emergency candidates. C. P. R. STILL LEADS. For Second Month in Succession Shows Biggest Increase in Earnings. Montreal, Dec. 23;—For the second time in succession the Canadian Pacillc has shown the biggest monthly increase ui earnings ot any railroad in America. In October the Canadian road ran ahead of J. J. Hill's famous Hues by a good margin. The .November returns are complete and show the Canadian Pacific again in the lead, with tlie Baltimore fc Ohio in second pluce. ls is not easy to grasp the tremendous significance of this showing. It means, for one thing, lhat Canada, in point of business expansion, ia prac- tlciaily to the fore. Our wheat movement iiaB ,of course, shown a great increase over last year, and this in a measure accounts for the Canadian Pacific's extraordinary Increase, but there is nevertheless reason to believe that the expansion has been felt all along the line. Tho principal increases in earnings for November aro shown as follows; 'Canadian Pacific $989,000 Baltimore & Ohio S^3.b72 Northern Pacific 760,891) New York Central 619.503 Great Northern System 570.2liU COLD STORAGE FOR REVELSTOKE (Special to The Dally Newa) Revelstoke, Dec. 23.—Mrs. M.

STREETS OF MOSCOW RUNRED WITH BLOOD Revolutionists Engage in Fierce Fighting With the Troops-Rebels Seize Upon Ancient Wall Surrounding the City, Beseige the Kremlin and Blow Up the Prefecture-All Poland is Afia'me and State of Seige Declared St. Petersburg, Dec. 23.—11.55 p.m. —The situation in Moscow tonight Is exceedingly critical, with a regular battle raging in the streets of the city, and a state of terror reigning. A telephone message just received says that the drumming of machine guns, volleys by Infantry and the booming of cannon can be heard at intervals. The military seem to havo the upper hand, although thero are rumors that the geudarmle and the Cossacks have revolted and have refused to fire on the people. According to this message, which was very confused, owing to the excitement under which the sender was laboring, tho revolutionary leaders had given the signal for an armed rising of the proletariat at (i o'clock this evening, but governor general Doubassoff discovered their plans and acted quickly. Ho massed 25,000 troops of all arms in Red place, under the walls of the Kremlin, mounted machine guns in the towers of the old Chinese wall, posted artillery at intervals encircling the Liver- stai boulevard, and placed heavy de- taobments of horse and light artillery at strategic points. The first sign of butchery occurred at 2 o'clock when the troops and the cannon, which were loaded with grape, fired Into a procession of workmen carrying red Hags and singing revolutionary songs as they swung into tho boulevard. Since then there has been almost continual fighting somewhere in the city. The workmen threw up barricades at the Triumphal Arch at two places in Deltrovsky street aud at another place, but all were assaulted and carried by the troops. The principal resistance was at the Triumphal Arch, the defenders of that barricade being armed only with revolvers. They held their ground somo time against tho machine guns. One hundred and twenty student militia who were surrounded at Fidler's school, mado an heroic stand, defending tho place with bombs and revolvers from a window. They killed two officers and eight soldiers and wounded many more, before ihey surrendered with a loss of five killed and thirteen wounded. St. Petersburg, Dec. 23.—Though the printers' union is one of the most ad- anced and most thoroughly organized unions in Russia, it is unable to enforce the newspapers' strike. The Novoe Vremya, Slovo and other conservative papers expect to appear today. The pan-Russian congress of the League of Leagues fs scheduled to be held In St. Petersburg tomorrow, but. owing to the strike, few of the delegates aro present and the meeting will probably be postponed, like ttie zemstvo congress of Moscow, until January. With the political strike us a revolutionary weapon apparently losing its keenness owing to too frequent use. fears are entertained that the revolutionaries may be driven to return to the old methods and inaugurate an era of terrorism. The government is aware that a number of high agents of the revolutionary organization at Geneva recently returned to Russia and increased precautions are being taken to safeguard all iu authority at St. Petersburg and Tsarskoe-Selo. A waiters' strike has begun aud many of the restaurants are closed. Tolephono messages from MOSCOW say that 150.000 men are on strike there, arid that the city is already feeling the pinch of hunger, that many bakeries have been sacked and that all business is suspended. Even the banks are closed. Only the St. Petersburg and Kieff and Voronech railroad lines are open. There have been some attacks on strikers, especially on student leaders, by the people, and two girls were stripped naked and turned loose In the cold in the vicinity of the Jewish market. Much street fighting lias occurred at Moscow as the result of the attempts of the troops and the police to break up the processions. The revolutionaries resisted at several places and erected barriers which the dragoons and Infantry carried by storm. At some places only blank shells were fired by tho troops, but eleven men were killed and 80 wounded at a barricade on Tvers- kala street. Altogether the casualties at Moscow yesterday are estimated nt 150. In addition, wholesale arrests were made. From the small towns along the railroad come reports of attacks on railroad men. At Eluia haven families were butchered and two delegates were lynched near Kursk. Here in St. Peters- burs'there Is little change in the situation . Severn! jcollpsions between workmen and the troops have occurred, in which several of the former were killed or wounded and many agilators wore arrested in their lodgings during tho night. With the exception or the official organs, only the Novoe Vremya and Slovo appear. Trains have continued to run on all the lines out of St. Petersburg today. ■MeetHng-s of every idescirlp-llon), %veto those of the law and order'party are being prevented.

Tho fact that a number of leading liberals recently foregathered tn the city of Victoria to discuss party affairs has occasioned au outburst of merriment ou the part of the Colonist quite foreign to the columns of that sedate newspaper. Just why the Colonist should find anything funny in a gathering of liberals is not clear. So long as party government exists ln this country thero will be at least two parties and it is the duty of both to be prepared at any moment to assume the reins of office. So far from tho gathering together of liberal leaders to discuss party affairs being a source o justifiable ridicule, it should call for hearty commendation, even from the conservatives. There could be no more undesirable state of affairs than that the party in opposition should be disorganized, purposeless and impotent as a critical body in Ithe legislature. From the comments of conservative organs in this province upon recent * gtrlctureB made by liberal papers upou (be conduct of the government, It appears that they still retain the old tory belief that conservatives rule by divine right and that liberals are merely interlopers. The line adopted by some of these papers ot referring to liberal newspaper criticism us "abuse," and of lauding the personnel of the government to the skies, displays a grave disregard for the Intelligence of their readers. In several particulars the policy of the MeBride government has been severely arraigned by liberal speakers and tbo liberal press. Instead of crying "abuse" and indulging in fulsome praise of tbe premier and his colleagues, the conservative press should attempt to show that the charges of maladministration, Incompetency, etc., are without foundation, that the conditions alleged to exist by liberal speakers and newspapers do not exist. Apropos, lt Is certainly significant that whilst the mere gathering together of a few liberals in Victoria should so strangely disturb tho chief government organ, it has not a word to say regarding the recent public utterances of the socialist leader, Hawthornthwaite. It Is very improper for liberals to discuss matters affecting tho government of this province and to organize to eject from ' office In a constitutional manner an administration that thoy believe to be inimical to the true welfore of the country. But It ls a matter too sacred for conservative comment when the socialist leader speaks. He may advocate a course that would plunge this province into a bitter class struggle, disastrous to every interest, save those of a few men of his own stamp, but because his support haa been essential to the retention in office of the MeBride govern- XMAS GREETINGS TO ALL J.

It Is simply something to be ignored or quietly winked at. for the socialist ally of the party tu power to attempt to stir up industrial strife and to proclaim his willingness to resort to the rifle to secure the "rights" of down-trodden British Columbia wage- earners! We repeat, some of our conservative contemporaries have a too pronounced contempt for the intelligence ol their readers. EDITORIAL NOTES By a recent royal proclamation, the prime minister of Great Britain, for the first time in British history, has been officially recognized and given a place of honor in the social soale. Tho proclamation provides that "In all times iiereaflter' the prime minister of Us, Our Heirs and Successors, shall have place and precedence next after the archbishop of York." Thus it will be seen that after the royal family only throe persons, namely, the archbishop of Canterbury, the lord chancellor, and the archbishop of York, will be entitled to walk before the prime minister. He will take precendence of all peers, whatever their rank, and of every officer of state. There will be few. if any, among the readers of The Dally News who will lack any of the material requisites to the proper celebration of Christmas Day. So far as we know there is an entire absence of anything In the nature of real poverty in our midst. Still it may be that some cases do exist where for one cause or another it has beeen found impossible to provide Christmas fare or for a visit to the little ones of Santa Claus. If any of our readers know of any such cases, our editorial offices will be open tbts evening and we can undertake to promise that upon Information received they will be attended to.

Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman today enters into the rightful reward of patient merit; he reaps the fruit of arduous and continuous spadework for a party which is moro liberal of criticism than of praise. At tho age the 69 he has attained the ambition of the statesman aud become prime minister of England. Sir Henry's gifts, if not of the dazzling kind, and gaining nothing from self assertion or the advertisement of sycophants, have a sterling quality that ls appreciated by his party and is well understood ln the house of commons. tils most patent possession is a shrewd common sense, which, allied to a keen sense of humor save him from taking himself and other too seriously. He is very slow of speech, slow of argument, not nimble In the cut and thrust debate; but when he has time to consider he is effective, and once he has taken up a position ho sticks to it in spite of -whatever and whoever oppose. He was Mr. Gladstone's chief secretary for Ireland when home rule was sprung upon the country in 1885, and for a time could not see his way to approve. But in his own phase, sir Henry "found salvation." and has never since wavered in his faith. It is this habit of sticking to his guns that lias won him the wonderful support of the liberal party which he enjoys throughout England and Scotland today. While others have set sails to catch the favoring breeze, or slackened In their devotion to this or that article of the liberal creed, sir Henry has never doubted or heen dismayed in the darkest day of liberalism. He has stuck to the ship and fought all her guns, without a murmur of complaint, and (his followers feel that he has a right to the spoils of victory. Sir Henry's father was James Camp- hell, a prosperous Glasgow merchant who became provost, was knighted, and settled on the estate of Stracathro, in Forfarsh.re. His mother belonged to the Manchester manufacturing house of Henry Bannerman. From both sides tlio inherited much wealth, and he adopted the name of Bannerman on receiving his second fortune from a Manchester uncle. He has heen in the bouse of commons lor seven-and-thirty years, sitting all that time for the Stirling Burghs, and enjoying vast majorities, generally ln four figures. As long ago as 1871 Ills capacity for business attracted attention and he began to climb the ladder of offlce: 1871-4—Flnapqial seoretarj* to war office. 1880-2—Financial secretary to war office. 1882-4—Secretary to tho admiralty. 1884-6—Chief secretary for Ireland. 1886—Secretary for war. 1882-5—Secretary for war 1889—-Elected by liberal party as leader in the commons. His talent for administration is admitted, and notwithstanding the cordite explosion, which blew up lord Rose- berr'a government, he left a reputation (or efficiency In Fall Mall. He Introduced the eight-hour day in i the army supply factories, and he got rid of tbe duke of Cambridge as commander ln chief. These were his prlu- 1 clpal achievements as war minister. It has just become known that queen Victoria was Instrumental ln finally dismissing the duke to make way for the "reforms of the army," which are still, apparently, in a state ot futurity. It is curious to recall that on tho very afternoon on which sir Henry Informed the house of commons that the duke had gone, he himself was dis- nilssel by that whiff of cordite, and the old duke may have heard of the minister's downfall while lie read the speech about his own retirement. For one notable event in sir Henry's career no precise date can be given; I mean when he ceased to be "leader of llie liberal party in the house of commons" and simply became "tho leader." At ono time ho was punctilious in correcting chairmen and others who spoko of him as "tho leader," and invariably claimed the fuller description and Its important qualification. Little more than a year ago he spoke disparagingly of ambition and foreswore it. at a tlmo when amiable relations were publicly established between him and lord Rosebery. Then lord Rosebery began to call him the "respected leader"; Mr. Asqulth and other aspirants were forgotten; tho name passed into general use and recognition; aud leader sir Henry became ln name as in fact. Jocose liberal Imperialists used to explain that sir Henry was chosen as "limited leader" in 1899 because he was the only member of the party who was on speaking terms with all the others. It was not expected then that he would bo the next prime minister. What will he make of his vast opportunities He is not likely to do anything very daring or to be rash in order to he brilliant. He is of reposeful comfortable disposition. He Is never in a hurry. He want to give tho country rest from Mr. Chamberlain, and if the country would rest quietly he would probably be content. He became chief secretary at a very trying time, not long after the Phoenix Park murders, when Parnell was in the full flight of his power. Sir Henry went to Ireland and did—nothing; and. moreover, did lt very well. At least, he was accounted a good chief secretary who knew him to leave things alone. He is now pledged to thc hilt to do all sorts of things for all sorts of liberals, and he will have to do something for some of them, though he would probably prefer to do as he did in Ireland. BURNS INJHE CABINET FIRST WORKINGMAN IN ENGLAND TO HOLD OFFIOE. SOME FORMER LABOR ASSOCIATES DENOUNCE HIM. The Rt. Hon. John Burns is enjoying all the notoriety Inevitable to hia position as England's first workingman cabinet minister. His career bas been irreproachable, and, except Keir Har die and some others of his former labor associates, no one bas uttered a word of anything except commendation of his high personal character and deserv- For years Mr. Burns has lived In a small worklngman's house ln Battorsea. with his handsome wife and only son, on tho allowance of about $750 a year mado to him by the Amalgamated society of Engineers. He neither smokes nor drinks, and he has no recreation other than nu occasional game of cricket ln Battersca park. He has worked regularly at bis comity council and parliamentary I business twelve hours a day. and he always rides iuto town on a bicycle. Although he has lived sparingly and often found it difficult to exist within his small and occasionally fluctuating income, he has never been financially beholden to anybody. Furthermore, year after year he has refused tempting offers of jorunalistic employment and lecture tours, because he prized his absolute Independence of all pecuniary Interests above any monetary reward. Of course all his county council and parliamentary work is unpaid, aud as he has contributed to the press only in furtherance of some public object ho had at heart, be has never accepted payment for such work. Now, suddenly, he has jumped into an Income of $10,00C a year, but his mode of life remains absolutely unchanged. He went to Buckingham Palace to be sworn In as a member of the king's privy council and to kiss the royal hand on acceptance of tho cabinet ofllce of president of tbe local government board, dressed tn his invariable dark blue serge roofer suit, black derby hat and gloveless hands, carrying neither cane nor umbrella. The other ministers wore conventional morning dress. The king welcomed him with especial cordiality aud told bim he hoped his objection to wearing court costume would never prevent him from obeying royal commands to court en- tortainments. That night the premier sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, gave a cabinet dinner aud John Burns, who never possessed or had any ambition to possess an evening suit, sat down In his usual reefer. He has always maintained that municipal life was the basis of a state's greatness, and under his guidance Battorsea bos become a model of municipal government, with the prettiest park In London for its recreations. As president of the local government board he his administrative and parliamentary supervision of municipal government throughout Great Britain including the London county council, of which he still remains a member. He arrives at his offlco In Whitehall, on foot or on a bicycle, at 9 oelock ln tlie morning to the great consternation of the officials who are accustomed to beginning work at 10.30. His energy Is causing a panic In his department for he is going systematically through each branch, ascertaining Its duties and methods of work of which he has had some trying experiences from the outside. His friends predict for him great fame as a reformer; but his enemies declare be will soon find himself helpless in the face of the big permanent officials of his department, and must either be content to sink into tho usual humdrum ministerial career or throw up his offlco in disgust and disappointment. Justice, the organ of the social democratic federation, of which Mr. Burns was one of the founders, ln on editorial, entitled "The Price of Apostacy." says: "It Is doubtful If any one of John Burns warmest friends is moro gratified at his accession to offlce than we aro. At last our condemnation of his betrayal of his class stands fully and clearly justified by his crowning act of treachery." J. Keir Hardle, M.P.. comments as follows In the current Issue of the Labor Leader: "Our old friend John has obtained his reward, the reward of his virtues and defects. John Bums, the man of tho red flag, thc working engineer, is now the Rt. Hon. John Burns, P.C. M.P., president of the local government board. Ho has a salary of £2.000 a year, and after five years' service will be entitled to an old ago pension of £1200 a year. That should almost take 'Honest John's' breath away." There is a twingo nf envy In these criticisms, but Burns Is not a man to be driven Into reactionary ways by such denunciations.

Dec. 23.—A "Washington despatch to the Sim says; It Is Intimated that the administration ls about to extend its anti-trust campaign and he report Is current that the Standard OU company is one of the corporations that will llgure in developments soon to appear. James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, will soon complete his inquiry Into the operations of the Standard Oil company and it is said that immediately following the publication of his report in January, the admintstra-- tion will make clear what 'it Intends to do with reference to allegations affecting this great concern. Officials of the department of justice are rathor backward in discussing the plans of attorney general Moody. In fact they profess absolute ignorance of any contemplated operations against the Standard Oil oompany ln Kansas and elsewhere, the interstate commission, the attorney general the assistant attorney general and the agents have been kept advised as to what 'has been done. There is an Impression in Washington that the Garfield Inquiry has developed some important facts relative to the payment of rebates to the Standard Oil Co.- since the Elkln's act has been in force. Attention is called to recent discriminations in favor of companies affiliated with the Standard which have been disclosed in Inquiries conducted by the inter-state commerce commission. Commissioner Garfield has instructed his special agents ln the oil fields to forward their final reports as soon as possible. He has before him an immense amount of Information about the oil industry and he ls anxious to submit his findings to president Roosevelt at the earliest possible moment. From present indications Mr. Garfield will not be ready to hand his report to the president until the middle of January. UNDERSELLING CANADA. (Special lo The Dally News) Ottawa.

"Fruit-a-tives" are the parts of the fruit that do you good. Apples, Oranges, Figs and Prunes are pressed—the juices separated from the tough, woody fibre—and concentrated. Then—(and this is the secret of "Fruit-a-tives")— one more atom of bitter principle from the orange peels is forced into the concentrated fruit juices. By this process —one of the most remarkable achievements of the age—the juices are made stronger, and many times more active medicinally. Finest tonics and internal antiseptics are added, and the whole evaporated and pressed into tablets. "Fruit- a-tives" are the greatest tonic, laxative and blood purifying medicine ever discovered.

During the week copper stooka have been the most active and have made the greatest gains. Dominion Copper was thc leader. There were large buying orders from the oast. This stock has been the most active of any of tlie milling stocks, lt has steadily advanced and yesterday it sprang up to U5c. bid on the Now York curb. The only reason given by local brokers Is the sca'Cliy .of copper. Reliable sources report sales of copper for Immediate delivery ut 19 1-2 cenis per pound. It" tills is correct it is the highest quotation reached since IbSJ. International Coal Is still ln good demand wllh more buyers than sellers. This stock js being held very firm and has again shown an advance from the previous week. Rambler-Cariboo ls a little quieter than last week but Is holding very linn.

Stt NEW YORK FASHION LETTER NOW York, Dec. 28-Tho time was when We put away our thin dresses at the Ursi touch of frost in the air, and bought anew or brought from their six months' hiding place tliose heavier and wanner. Toda> the soft diaphanous textures, such as en p. de chine, chiffon, mousaeline de sol -, tig .n d muslins ami luce in wliile tints are nearer in evidence for evening and houso gowns, and even lhe afternoon street Costume must be made of the thin line clinging materials which lend themselves to the long graceful lines demanded by tne winter styles. The onlv dress that has any av- pearunce of weight, an Illusion Is the morning street dress; but cheviols, serges, broadcloths are nothing like the heavy materials worn sunie years ago. Apparently weather conditions were not taken Into account when Uie manufacturers planned the materials lo lie used tliis winter. Therefore Uie more attention must be given lo the subject of outdoor garments. The dlrectoire and empire styles lead. The light pastel shades are the popular tor dressy wear. In coats, Uie three quarter length, Jusi below the knees, reigns supreme although many women prefer the length that barely escapes the ground; bin tnis matter oi inches must be decided by the wearer's height and (Inure and llie quality of the material used. A double breasted coat in green broadcloth, a version of tho empire model, is made With a doable yoke which extends back and front In a broad panel to the knees. This skirt coat lias three one Inch tucks on eaoh side of this panel; and machine stitching finishes the scams and the tucks to the waist line. Velvet collar ami cuffs complete this garment. Every woman needs a long loose coul fur stormy weather and one that gives much satlsfiiclloa and comfort Is made of waterproof cloth. Il is llttcd to the llgure by under arm seams and the lohg lines of tlie coat are accentuated by the stitched straps that nre continuations or the scalloped yoke. The, front is in double breasted style with buttons and buttonholes. The sleeves ure llnlshed with turn back cuffs. A notched collar laid Hal ami stitched to llie yoke completes the garment An entirely new idea Is ih - 'Tony Jacket' semi-fltting and coming just to the hips. In cut it looks for all the world like a man's smoking Jacket. A natty affair in this mode was developed in brown velvet with a double row of braid down lhe buck, around the lower neck and down the fronts, Which did not quite elose, but showed a vesi of white cloth, satin figured having H double row of while crochet but- lons aa a finish. Mannish sleeves trimmed with braid made up a garment that the spring will probably find very popular among younger women. A beautiful coat that will be. much In favor for the very cold weather Is made of stripped mink, which has nn ermine shawl collar nnd cuffs. The garment is mude by a dlrectoire pattern with big sleeves and (lure cuffs and a chic belt ot velvet fastened with a beautiful buckle of Roman gold gives a stylish tlulsii. In fur lined coaLs the most popular and desirable models are the full length coat and reefer shape. Grey and white squirrel Is tho prime favorite ln fur linings although other furs are worn. The best liked muffs are the flat ouch, curve In shape, big enough to lose your urm In up to the elbow, tho fashion ot which owes Iin birth 'to the popularity ot tiie elbow sleeves. Haas and throws of mink and ermine are milcii worn; but It Is a fad of the day to use no fur about the neck nnd Just use the muff alone, Tor many women object to thc great heat of a fur boa about tbe neck Bovril tin Kitchen Economist When looking over your market accounts do you realize how much of what you pay for is wasted ? Often the bits that you usually throw out because you cannot serve them as they are, can be transformed into delicious, toothsome dishes with the help of a little BOVRIL.

The needs of children have not been neglected although most of the juvenile styles are copies of those worn by their elders. For very small children no color ls so protty as whlto. Many children's coats are made of white eiderdown, or it' a heavier garment Is desired, white bear cloth Is much liked for its richness of appearance. A pretty littlo cloak for a child three years old was mude of white eiderdown by a long coat pattern with full sleeves having turned back cuffs and a cape collar. The edges of the colar, cults and patch pockets are finished with silk braid. For elder children a greater variety or of material und colors are used. Dark blue velvet Is used In the construction ot a box shaped model with its shawl collar and cuffs of Irish lace; and another oat of light blue broadcloth hnd brown car- aul collar and cuffs. One of the prettiest long garments seen tills winter was worn by a brown eyed little maid of eight years. It was made ot dark rich red broadcloth. A yoke of fancy outline was decorated as were the seams with machine stitching. A beautiful collar and cuffs of grey squirrel completed the outfit.
