You can't escape a cape, my dear This summer you must wear The pelt of some four footed beast When you do take the air And hide your slmpely. shoulders 'neath ISome creature's hide and hair. Now York, April 28. You have tt go fur to see the Cape of Good Hope but you dou't have to go fur to see the cape of god style, although it it's fur all light. It maybe gopher too at that but the chances are. its koonsky or ermine or mink or sable or mole or Hudson seal. All the really smart liir capes are made up of one or a combination of two of these six soft silky skins selected suit ably sartorially for summertime show-ins. As one little sable pelt is a big hit you may be sure a full ripply cape of tsable is some knockout. (Such a one falling to the waist line in front and Tunning to a deep point below the waist iu back has a broad rolling collar of un allotted ermine fastening in a low V i - w jdianed front. Another one of mink with a shawl collar of ermine has ritted front and a full dcen rinnle back for all the world like an old-fashioned dolman. Little short shoulder capes of Hudson or mole are quaint and charming and a graceful wrap is one of chiffon thrice banded, once at neck, midway and again around the edge with kolinsky. Oh where are the white foxes of yes terday 1 Last summer the foxiest of summer furs was white fox. This sum mer some are 'fox, but most are not. To be sure foxes, red, white or silver are not to be shrugged off too disdainfully by summer shoulders but they are set dom seen in comparison with their last seasons omnipresence, and the fur cape really is the thing. Loner felt broad stoles of the seal mole and ermine are the greatest rival of the cape for favor -with the summer till and' the cape may yet rue the day that a stole stole its first place in Miss Summer's wardrobe and affections. The ermine BtoleB are almost always finish cd on the ends with a row of the tiny tails and indeed on both the capes and stoles of the other furs the tail trim ming ig very often used. Indeed these oft repeated tails are an older story but always good. . Of all the summer furs ermine best lends itself from an artistic and adapt able standpoint to summer toilettes. It sets off a frock of silk Georgette crepe or a lingerie gown with equal perfection and has a moro light and fluffy effect and a less hentful appearance than the other furs. In an ermiue cape you may be at white heat when it is 200 in the shade but you'll never look it. As a dress trimming as well as a wrap ermine is a most eftective summertime fur and a white Georgette frock band ed in it is the white of perfection. A white organdie gown with a band on of ermino must needs be greeted also Willi joy and abandon as the summit of sum mer sartorial art. As a compromise with going to fur this summer maribou is .again putting forth its fine feathers in wide bands around the neck, sleeves and full skirts of charmeuse coats in the same manner that the wide bands of fur were used on the fur coats this last winter. Aft er all perhaps it were safer to stick to maribou if we want to be sure what we are wearing. When it is marked down we know it is down but no matter what mark is on ful we feel we are the mark if we buy it. When you' are simply dy ing to buy a mink collarette the furrist is probably simply dyeing a pussy cat to sell it to you.. Indeed the fur trade is a double skin of both 3011 and some other poor animal. Perhaps it's just as well you can't split hairs too finely in the fur buying for it is so much more comfortable not to know that the er mine hair you think 3-011 are wearing is just plain hare. 17 ' CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG The Rise of Susan A. "WORLD PICTURE Fox Film Makers Hold Up a Train for Arts Sake I Society goes mad uver the titled lady Susan is indeed a great success. Airs.

There was more than one frightened passenger on that train when the film makers scrambled out of their auto and rushed to the train. Their fears were only allayed when the train started forward again and they saw their bandits calmly standing beside the track grinding their camera.

Will Gve Concert and Yaude- ! vills to'Advertise Need of j New Prison I The nir.sii-al and drrnmtie talent be ihind the bars at the penit-. ntiury has . j often demonstrated its ebili.'y to enter-1 j tain the public in a very acceptable way, and when it is inspired by a r-1 , ticularly interesting cause its efforts! i are more enthusiastic and successful I than ever. There will be a bund eon i cert and vaudeville show Monday even ing, in a cause that has engaged the; best efforts of all the prisoners andj they have made extra preparations,to j attract and entertain a large crowd. I The campaign for the new peniten tiary buildings has the hearty sympa thy and asiitance of practically) all of ;the inmates and tin:-, entertainment is j given to raise funds for the circulation of literature and the sending out of verbal and written facts in support of the proposition. A man who was re cently released from the prison is de voting his time and paying his own ex pens?s as far as he is able, going around setting forth the conditions which demand that now buildings should be provided, but his means aro veV limited and there being no funds to support such a campaign, tho men inside the walls, who know and feel .ho bad conditions, took up a subscription among themselves, raising $.0.00, which they sent to him. and then they oraran ized this concert and vaudeville show to raise another fund lor tho same purpose. The band is in fine shape and sup plied with good" nstruinents and good modern music, and the concert will lie supplemented by lively skits equal to anything of tho kind 011 the r.tagr-, so that all who attend will bo well' repaid for the small expenditure of 25c, while at the same tuno aiding a noble cause "The boys" hope tho people -of L'alem will exhibit their usual liberality and encouragement.

FURNITURE You Get More for Your Money at Moore's to begin the great work of mobiliza tion of the country's militar3' man power. I Features of Dent Bill j The bill before the house, known as the Dent bill and favored by a majori ty of the military committee provides raising of the national army and na tional guard to war strength, first by volunteers as at present and then, if necessary, by draft, and authorizes the president to call for a separate volun teer army of five hundred thousand. The army census preparatory for a se lective draft system is to be begun at once. y If, when the census is completed, the 500,000 men have not been obtained by volunteers, then the president may in stitute the draft. The committee mi nority, headed by Representative Kahn, favors the selective draft recommend ed by the war department and the j president in the original general staff bill. . Representative Kahn proposed an amendment to the bill as it now stands in the house eliminating the authority for volunteers and providing for imme diate institution of the draft system. The senate bill is virtually the same as submitted by the army war college. The house bill, as amended, the amend ment being acceptable to the war de partment, makes men from 21 to 40 eligible to service. The senate bill ages are from 19 to 25. Acting on Amendments. Early this afternoon under unanimous consent the senate began consideration of amendments. Five minutes was allowed each sen ator for discussion. Several amendments embodied "pro visions for trial of the volunteer system, changing the whole intent of the bill. Upon these changes the real fight will bo centered. LaFollettc's amendment would pro vide for a referendum Vote of the na tion on conscription. In the house the Moore amendment was defeated !)) to 6. This would have stricken out the word "selective," mak ing tho bill a straight draft. The house also defeated an amend ment by Representative, Austin, Tennes see, providing that no troops be sent to Kurope, but those who volunteered for foreign service. The house defeated amendment by Representative Hloan, of Nebraska, to raise the maximum eligible age limit from 40 to 00 by a vote of 117 to 63. An amendment by Representative Norton, of North Dakota, to raise the maximum limit to 50 years was also defeated 118 to 52.
