New Yoik, 4 hi. UK ? Willi the bright,
crisp October ? lit > m here, New York
seem* more alive than ever, ami the
fashionable thoroughfare* of llio great
city are tilled with crowds In now at
tire which is exceedingly muart, Hv
cryoue wants now clothes when au
tumn comes, ami everyone seem* to
have now clothes. *
The long top coals ami one-piece
(tresses which art* worn under them,
strike one as being of most Importance
tli)s season, though tailored suits are al
so well represented. The coats look so
warm ami comfortable with their large
high collars that button snugly to the
neck. Many of the collars are uuule of
fur or fur elotli, which may he hail In
such good Imitations that only very ex*
]?erleneod eye couhl tell the difference
The materials for coats this season are
simply irresistible, so beautiful are
they in the rich, warm colors ami so
wonderfully soft In texture. Without
being heavy or clumsy, they are warm
enough for the cj?ol weather.
The New Coats Have High Collars.
Among the very newest materials arc
Bolivia cloth, a rich fabric with a
sheen and tinrclla, a sofl open "weave
somewhat like homespun hut. Tory
much more attractive ami liner in
quality. In addition to these, there
are tin* more well-known wool velours,
wool plushes and wool velvets as well
as many other coatings. A plea slug
note In the deveopment of the new
coats for fait is the use of bright-ool- j
ored linings. A very handsome import
ed coat of navy blue serge had a bright
cerise lining which showed when the
fronts were rolled open. Glimpses of
collar and cuffs. Other charming com
binations that have been seen in the
way of linings, are brown with light
blue, and black with cerise.
Like the t*oat in the illustration, a
great many models show the straight
closing down the front with graoefuiiy
curved lines at the sides. The back and
sides are belted. Some models, how
ever, are, on the , contrary, very full
at the back and have no belt at all
to confine the fullness which starts
at the nock and increases as the coat
lengthens. Fur collars are particular
ly good style this fall. Hudson seal,
beaver, kolinsky, titoh, skunk and rab
bit are the pelts most used. Very of
ten the cuffs are of matching fur. too,
but In many instances only the collar
is of fur.
A very novel Idea that has been
brought from I'arls is the quilted effect
on suits; and even waists have been
made In this style. The quilting Is
done by machine-stitching in pretty do
signs rather than in straight linen, and
tho effect is so different from anything
else that it has been very much ad
mired. Satin and uilk suits are made
with deep hands of quilting at the
edges of both skirts and coats. An
other way of using the quilting hlea
is in touches on cqllar, i>oekets and
cuffs. Some ^quilted waists have been
further decorated with French knots
in heavy yarn. Some of these waists
are intended especially for sports.

it the lieaver did not have the hahlt
??f ilotiiK all kinds of manual labor In
n paii* of overalls worth anywhere
from twenty-live to one hundrWl dol
lars. his numbers today would be vast
ly greater, but that extravaKant habit
lias been his undoing, and the main
object of his busy life Is to keep jh>s
srsslon of his valuable hide.
He Is the engineer among the ani
mals. and what lie <)ocs not know about
building dams, limiting logs, and cut
ting canals could be put In a veVy
small book Indeed, lu the economy of
beaver life, water plays a most lmi?or
I a nt part ; the front door of his house
must be under water, and every time
he i Tosses his thrcshhold, he must
cross it wringing wet. Such a thing
as coining home with dry clothes, has i
never happened in the beaver family
up to this time. So the llrst thing he
d<H\s is to insure a regular, and a plen
tiful supply of water, doing a little
below where he Intends to build, he
plans a dam that will hack sufficient
water for all his needs. If there Is
a tree growing near the stream against
which he can brace one end of the
dam, so much the better. He and his
fellow workman then proceed to gnaw
down a tree; anywhere from one to two
f*-et In diameter, and throw it aciuss
the branches. Then they cut off the
branches, tirst i>eoltng off the bark for
food, into lengths to three or four feet,
and carefully place these, one end In
the mud at the bottom, and the other
leaning against the fallen tree. After
a sufficient number have thus been
placed they cut and i>ecl other sticks
and work them in waattle-fashlon at
right angles with the first. They then
bring mud, stones, twigs and grass,
and with -tiie.se chink up all the cracks
as water proof as a stone wall. As
soon as the dam is complete, and the
lake in place, the beavers turn their
attention t.o home building. A sub
stantial floor of a circular shape is
llrst laid of the same materials as
went Into the dam, and from this thick
walls are constructed and a home
shaped or fashioned. l:pon this two
other stories are placed, the whole,
when finished, looks very much like an
adobe wigwam. This dwelling is plas
tered within, and without with mud
reinforced with twigs and grass. The
first story of tills house is under water,
and the other two above so that If the
water should rise from any cause, they
could easily move upstairs, thus keep
ing their bedding and furniture dry.
They make two ojKMiings leading down
Into the stream, one for general use in
coming and going, and the other leads
down into the part of the house where
all refuse or anything that might soil
or damage the upi>er apartments, is
carried. A third opening is cut much
higher up in case the pond should
freeze over and shut them In from^ be
low. - These half submerged dwellings
are divided into different apartments,
according to the number of individuals
In the company. These separate rooms
are ay connected by passage ways, and
each room has a private bath, Just
outside of the front door. The Interior
of thefte, community^ homes is kept as
neat as a pin, and each boarder has
his own partleular ls?d of dried leaves,
grass, and no matter how severe tlifc
wi liter,' or how high the snow may be
banked over their roof, the beavers
are as 'snug as a bug in a nig.' They
have stored up plenty of bark and
fr??sh twigs for their winter use, and
If these should run short, there Is lots
more in the woodyard at the bottom of
