L. Smith, the proprietor, at about $400. The loss in burned clothing alone amounts to about $200, practically the entire {wardrobe of Mrs. Smith being con- ‘sumed. The child, a son of Mrs. Smith’s sister, who is believed to have started the fire came running downstairs and warned guests of the hotel. The men got busy and all danger was over by the time the fire- men arrived, althougn the depart- ment made 2 record run. The flames did not spread beyond one room, ex- cept to scorch the hallway. Billy Smith, arrested on suspicion of having robbed the till of Earl's saloon Tuesday morning of $50 and placed in the city lockup and later confessed, hanged himself with a leather belt in his cell at 4 a. m. today. He carried a Lake Seaman's union card giving the name of “Pat Driscoll,” dated April 17, 1911, and signed A. Blood, District No. 6. It is believed he may have committed other crimes leading him to commit suicide. The deceased was about 30; height 5 feet 6 inches, weight 150 pounds, with brown hair, gray eyes, with perpendicular scar 1 1-2 inches long under the right eye. Smith and Driscoll may be assumed names. The body will be held one week at the Brainerd morgue to try to identify it.—Brainerd Dispatch.

HOME GROWN MELONS, 2 FOR 5¢ Beltrami county" cauliffiower ers as the one big thing on the Be- midji market at the present time. Specimens of this vegetable, snowy white and of delicious flavor, are to be found in profusion and as large as Kansas sunflowers. They can be purchased at 15c. ‘ But this is only one of many things which will greet the Satur- day shopper. She will find good dairy butter at 28c, creamery butter at 32c, eggs at 25¢, potatoes at T5c, and a few home grown watermelons. Melons, however, will soon be a thing of the past. There still remains a limited quantity of cantaloupe, home grown, at two for 5c, the cheapest of the season. Tomatoes, Yum! Yum! Ripe tomatoes, luscious and of sol- id meat, sell at $1.00 a bushel, while the green tomatoes being 50c. There are plenty of rutabagas at 60c a bushel.

It still sells at 12 pounds for $1.00 but local that in the city it dalready has been advanced to 11 pounds for $1.00 and the Bemidji sellers expect that they will be forced to increase the price to this amount within the next few days and they say there will be no re- Hef in sight for at least another month. A shortage of the sugar beet in Germany is given as the cause for the present skyward flight in the sugar prices, although -the consum- ers look upon the sugar with sus-| picion.

POV OPOOD OOV VOOV OPOIOOOOOOO .4 “NIX,” SAYS DAME FASHION .OF TWO PIECE SUITS. @ <3 e @ % Short, Straight Skirt, High Waist Line to Be Much Worn During @ Winter—Smartest of New Frocks Show Long Sleeves. ® @ 4 90090 EOOOO0000000006000600006 6 BY Q FOLRENCE FAIRBANKS. e lately the makers of fashion ihave made efforts to bring back into favor the two-piece costume, but judging from the advanced fall cos- tumes recently imported it would {seem that they have not been par- ticularly successful. With the high is consumed in the making of the waist i{that women demand the bodice be | made of the same material as the If not, they are willing to ac- cept some pretty soft fabric that ex- actly matches the skirt in color. Ev- ien with coat suits the coming season ! will see blouses matching the color o fthe cloth used in the suit. The short, straight skirt, high waist line and loose blouse with a slightly low-cut neck, altkough not new in design, will be worn all win- ter. The newest models are trimmed with lace embroidery, braid and but- tons in ways that give them quite a distinctive touch. Heavy silk cord outlines the joining point of bodice and skirt and is fastened on the side with a twisted loop. Long, tasseled ends fall almost to the hem of the skirt. L The slightly low neck is finished with a pleated collar of handkerchief linen edged with Cluny or a fine Val- enciennes lace. There is a cravat of silk tied in a flat bow or four-in-hand having two narrow ends hanging to the waist line and weighted with silk tassels. Beneath the three-quarter sleeve is a four-inch undersleeve of net. Such a frock can be made of satin, silk, serge, worsted, or one of the soft cashmeres that will be much worn during the fall. One-piece trotting frocks of serge and other woollens are coming to the fore again and with them models in dark toned silks, rich silk serge of heavy diagonal weave and tailored air, wool back satin, the heavier crepes, and taffeta, which has usually been regarded as a summer silk but is now striving hard for winter rec- ognition. * oo The best looking of the latest one- piece street frocks have been made of silk serge which lends itself admir- ably to semi-tailored effects. In black, in dark blue and in gray on the taupe order, these silk serge frocks are very attractive and there are delightful things in charmeuse, with a little narrow fringe intro- duced in the trimming and perhaps a dash of vivid contrasting color. While the elbow kimono sleeve has not vanished, the very smartest of the new trotting frocks, and of the dressier models as well, show long sleeves. Some of the long sleeves are merely long and close fitting, set in smooth at the shoulder. Others combine an oversleeve of the modi- fied kimono type with a long under- sleeve, and newer than either are the long sleeves full at the elbow and with a long tight winkly cuff coming down well over the hand and often finished by a frill falling over the hand. * ok ¥ Judging from recent importations Frenchwomen have accepted the lit- tle coatees, casaquins and caracos, which were one of the most charac- teristic features of the Empire day dresses. They made their first ap- pearance a short time ago and at once bounded into popularity. In fact, Paris has gone quite mad over them. That being the case, it is only a question of time when the style will become quite general here. These little coats are quaintly Pic- turesque and simple in line, but possess a peculiar quality that adds just the right note of distinction to the costume. Imagine, if you can, the attractiveness of a perfectly plain skirt of pale blue and white taffeta, cut over a six-gore model, with a panel back and front and having a raised waistline, with the bodice taking the shape of a little coatee of pale blue voile, finished at the high waist with a small rounded basque mounted on a third cord cov- ered with plain blue taffeta. x ok o* These little coats are made of fig- ured silk or satin combined with plain skirts, or vice versa. Others are of cloth, velvet, marquisette, chiffon or even net linen with a deli- cate shade of satin. The cut can be varied to suit the wearer, but they all are made with the short Empire waist and elbow sleeves. Tulle is very much in evidence for trimming the finer hats and gowns and for all sorts of toilet accessories. Already the advanced milliners are designing picture hats with the crowns composed of billows of tulle interspersed with mock ospreys. A charming model is a Napoleon hat having the brim faced with black velvet and on the crown an enorm- ous chou of black tulle, its lightness accentuated by having the edges pinked. * % = For .a fichu there is no daintier material obtainable than tulle. Laid in soft folds and edged with narrow quillings of ribbon or lace, it makes an ideal finish to the V-necked after- noon and evening frock. Hoarfrost blue ‘tulle mounted over satin of a deeper shade is employed in building a ball gown of extreme beauty. * * X An-innovation this season are the muffs of tulle. A very attractive model is mounted on pale corn-col- ored satin and covered with a series of puffs of golden-brown tulle laid on rather flat, with a very narrow quil- ling of deeper brown tulle covering the stitches where it is puffed. A border of the darker tulle shirred in hundreds of tiny frills looks at a short distance like a mass of soft feathers. x % % Satin bags covered with shirred tulle are hung over the arm, bows of it are worn with effect at the col- lar line, and a band of black tulle around the bare throat, fastened with diamond slides, and a small chou placed a little to the side of the back give a wonderfully chic finish to the simple costume, besides making the skin look milky white. * o X White and colored vertical otto- man cords are among the new heavy materials for separate skirts and Jjacket suits. *ox ok Velvet and suede pumps, which have been much worn during the summer, are to continue popular dur- ing the fall.
