Modern dances are interpreted by Mr. Robert Archer Bowlby, of Boston, and Miss Frances A. Ross, of Castle House, New York, through the courtesy of Hotel Benson.' Everything is portrayed just as it should be and only advance models of the very Dest styles for Autumn, 1915, are shown.

Federal Judge AV'olverton Monday decided in favor of the patentees a case Involving the validity of the pat ent issued to Moser & Root, November 15, 1904, on a novel system of keeping a daily posted record of balance books, of which the Irwin Hodson Company, of Portland, holds the exclusive license. The patented book, it wan shown in court, has been extensively adopted in the United States, and another company had issued an article wliich the pat entees alleged infringed their patent.
