Dogs It 'really avail a woman much to possess even the moat sump tuous of costumes for formal wear if lier ordinary street suit U "passe"? I wonder who does not share the sad experience of having a pros pective shopping; trip spoiled by In clement weather, and on the spur of the moment decide to put on "any old thing." and "Just run through the shops and home again." and if you do yield to the temptation and strike out briskly in a pair of dingy boots, a dinky hat and drooping skirt, what happens? What happens? Why. you pVoceed to meet every one of consequence you wish to appear to advantage before, are asked repeatedly to luncheon at the most im posing h'ostelries (at which in your minds eye'' vou can picture yourself in shapeless boots and bedraggled skirts, mingling Incongruously with the soft toned elegance of the polished floors, and stately furnishings), Of course vou refuse the Invitation, the conversation drifts to new styles, from which In sheer desperation you turn to the disa greeable weather, meaning to use It as an excus for your shabby appearance, at this moment the sun comes out, and shines, shines with a terrible brilliancy that, resting on your ancient pale helio trope bonnet, accuses it harshly and openly of having had a royal purple ten dency at the very beginning. The sketches are suggestion for 'Must every day Wear." that may he comrort ablv and' generally used In all sorts of weather. They are copies of articles shown oy various Portland shops. Dainty Accessories. Has any"' one discovered in all the throngs of charming femininity that decorate our homes and streets that old time friend "the mannish girl"? and when we gaze at the dainty, winsome maiden that has taken her place, can we really find It In our hearts to regret her departure? Even the practical busi ness girl, who of necessity alfecta the simplicity of aTilaln tailored suit, suc ceeds admirably In retaining the femi nine atmosphere by her wise selection of neckwear. Nothing could be more expressive of distinctive personality. Our manner of gowning depends largely upon the length and thickness of our t)Ocketbooks. but our choice of neckwear depends solely on our own Individual tastes, for the styles are almost limit less and the prices easily within reach. The collars Illustrated in (A) were sketched from an almost endless array of the tastily and well selected assort ment found at the neckwear depart ment of Roberts Brothers. They show a highly becoming Perlot ruff of brown chiffon, with Japanese embroidery and. dainty Jabot and ruched collars trimmed with . Irish point. .Valenciennes and tucked chiffon ruffling. The diminutive bow and cording are ef the gold tissue used so much thla season t accentuate the high lights of the rich toned dress fabrics. The handkerchief" B shown re from 'this same department. The Upper ona is edged wltb the famous Bt - I .- , " vl ' - I' Gall lace, and is a model of daintiness. Swiss embroidery on the sheerest of linen Is the second, while the third of Armenian workmanship is a marvel of skill and delicacy. Umbrellas and Gloves. No on ever thought of denying that umbrellas were closely associated with Oregon's winter weather. If they have proven a necessity why can we not also make of them an ornament? The ornate and heavily trimmed handles are not feasible for ordinary use. but pleasing and satisfactory even to the most fas tidious are the simple and graceful lines of the new st vies siiown bv McAllen & McDonnell. The first (C) shows a stork's head In gun metal with light green Inset eyes. The head is not par ticularly conspicuous and because of Its unique position forms a convenient handle. The second one. oblong of man ranlta wood, Is finished in various col or stains. The weathered brown with heavy brown silk tassel trimmings Is especially attractive. The third Is of gun metal Inset with Intricately chased sterling silver. The Dent gloves (D) shown by the same firm are adaptable for street wear these chilly days. They are heavy cape style in London smoke gray, with deep seam stitching. A Becoming Hat. The scml-severe hat. E) Is one of the many pleasing stales shown at Ham burger's new millinery store. ' It is the popular flat shape with drooping brim of suede brown mlrrlor velvet. The low crown Is looselv wound about with wide Messallne ribbon and almost entirely covered bv an enormous silk velvec crushed rose In beautiful blending shades of brown. This hat has the ?;raceful lines that prove so becominij o most faces. . Fashionable Fur. M. L. Gumbert is showing one of the most beautiful black lynx sets in the city. Illustration (F). The novel muff which Is a feature is . large and rug shaped. A cleverly mounted head with tails extenuates the length of the deep dropped front, the large flat surface showing the glossy Jet black fur off to splendid advantage. Two full skins are used in the stole which spreads amply over the shoulders and Is finished with tails at the back. I.ynx Is popular this season and is . admirably adapted to afternoon wear. Novel Coat. Artistic because of Its odd but grace fully curved lines and practical because of an added thickness across the back and chest to Insure warmth Is a new coat, the "Empress Nippon," . designed by Mr. Acheson And shown on figure (G). The coat proper Is a plain form fitting princess style and close ty follows,, J he lines or me ngure opening at the ront with self color buttons. The over Jacket gives the Eton effect and la cut In .one with 'the sleeves and shows to advantage tailor stitching and large metal buttons. The coat is developed In one of the new shades of mode blue. Nobby Street Suit. The chic little suit (it) Is from Drake & Swan's and shows many of the best features of this season's stylos. Tho collar and large reverea are French mili tary style fancifully trimmed In sou tache braiding and flat cut steel but tons. A rich Japanese embroidered vest is- worn with the long coat of directolre cut. The sleeves are the new shape with strapped and braided cuffs. Wis teria broadcloth, one of the newest shades, is used In this sutt which Is handsomely lined' in a complimentary color, . , Tailored Net Waists. The directolre models, so popular now, have made It necessary for women to adopt a new style bf blouse more ap propriate for wear with a corselet skirt and close fitting coat. The waist (L) shown by Eastern Outfitting company Is of fine white wwsh net. that lends : Itself readHv to haunt and street u-our Nothing, could be safer and more be coming to face and figure. It has the advantage of needing little trimming other than the tucking.' which la ar- rungea so as not to Ue luilkv at tl waist line. t Naturally, . alt ihe new blouses show a great change in the -style of the sleeve. For this winter, in 'place of the short three quarter sleeve puffed at the top, there is the long, close fitting one of horizontal tucking thnt defines every curve of the arm from shoulder to wrist, where it ends with a ruffle falling over the hand to th knuckles. Indeed, we look forward to adopting this new tailored net which will allow us to discard the straigiit, strict, linen waist so long familiar an;! used instead of the more artistic and softer outlines of the new blouse. Some New Coiffures. The arrangement of the hair in sketch H) shows the use of the new "Psyche Knot" so popular with women this sea son. These queer little made up puffs of hair may be obtained in almost every shade and numberless varieties of style, the newest of which, however, are the "Psyche," "Iuclle," "Blllie Burke" and "Coronet" and are found together with the large fancy hairpins indispensable In hair adjustment at the well equipped hair dressing department of the Grand Leader. Up-to-Date Footgear. With the necessarily high lifted skirt comes the demand for swagger footwear, an example of Which in tho, Jatent colt button boots (J) with eclor, opa . to match, to gowns.

T. B. Mistrusted. Mark Twain was talking about the famous robbery in his beautiful country house. "Had I still been living in Hartford." he said, whimsically, "some f my Hart ford friends would certainly have ac cusedme of robbing myself They had a poor opinion of me In that Connecticut town. "Marshall Jewett. the ex-governor, used to take 'up the collection in our Hartford church. They never asked me to take It up. 1 fretted a good deal over this matter. " 'See here, Jewett,' I said one day, 'they let you take up the collection ev ery -Sunday, but they would toever let. me do It." ' j " 'Oh. yes, they would." said Jewett that iJt. with a bell punch like ( the. horaecar. conductors use," . ' When They Find Other Ixlsters Walking and Clawing Over Them. It will probably be news to most peo ple that lobsters can kick; at least the spiny lobster from Bermuda can. any way. Not of the familiar dark green In color, but very strikingly tinted with various hues, yellow being its most cor. splolous color. It has no big claws, the spiny lobster, but Its legs are extraordinarily lone and slender, as are also its antennae or feelers, of which It has two pairs, the longer pair being as Jong as its body. These longer feelers are shell encased, rather thick at the butt, where they are attached to the body, but taperlnic out through their great length, to very slender tips, and these feelers are cov ered with tiny bnt needle pointed spines, liable to warn off any creature that touches- them. The spiny lobster's other pair of feelers are shorter and slenderer and more flexible, and midway of their length these 'feelers are each divided Into two parts, extending outward from this point in two straight but very, slender and flexible twiglike prcVRi. These shorter feelers have each In the single part near the body a number o( joints, so that the lobter can readily twist them In any direction. A str. king feature of this spiny lob ster Is lt eyee, which are 'ca led' tf the endu, ef two little fleshy cylinders that project three quarters of aa inch or. mora from Ua body.: This extraordi nary species is now to be seen at th Aquarium in one tank, eight specimens, the largest of which would probably measure from the tip of its longest feelers to the tip of Us tall three feet. They are always or almost always ort the move; slowlv to be sure, deliberate ly, but always moving. Sometimes the whole bunch will get together in one . corner of the tank in what seems to be r an inextricable tangle. Then you fie their red and yellow bodies In a con futed bunch, with feelers and legs sticking out of the mass everywhere In all directions. And then maybe three or four of them are lined up along the floor of tha tanK in front right at the glass, and as like ly as not the biggest lobster of the lot will start to walk along over thisi line, walking on those other lobsters' backs. As the big lobster on top comes thua clawing its way along the line It may come to a lobster that doesn't like being; walked over, and wien the big lobster sets its feet down on its back and con tinues to set them so this lobster rear up at it, as a horse might rear without throwing out its feet. With it tall folded under Its body It rears up vigor ously, once, twice, three times, at tha lobster on top, as much as to say "Get out of that. you. lobster! What do you mean walking around on me like that? And the kicker brings the big lobster to a standstill for a moment. But then the big lobster raises itself up higher still on Its tall legs and then it starts on again, clambering on over everything. All Edisons When. Young. "We are nearly all of us inventor until the exigencies of modern llfw crush It out of us." claimed the woman who loves and studies children. "Grown up inventors are simply those in whom this instinct has not been crushed out, who, through fortunate circumstances.. have been able to retain that desire to make something do what it has never done before which all children have. "There Is no more marked trait of childhood than this as I am sure anr one who has observed children at all will admit. Who has not wen a child particularly a boy rig up the most com plicated bit of mechanism out of string;, . rubber bands, and nails to do something that could be a great deal quicker and better done by human agency? But that would be the ordinary way. thor the wav other people did it, and there fore would not be half so attractive. - - "Look at the child who takes a paper. ' ban. punches a hole In the lower side, . ties a bing string to this, and uses it . for a kite. Or the boy who uses a bar rel stave for a baseball bat.
