Best Glove Store
Here Are the Reasons Why
In thinking of gloves, think of Kerr's. The two are comple-
mentary and should be inseparably associated in your mind. The
arguments we submit, substantiated by the facts, are unassaila-
ble. It stands to reason that the store which is the best glove store
the year round should be best at Christmas time. And it is.
Look at the stocks, an embarrassment, overflow, opulency of
gloves, gloves, gloves.
We prepared months ago—Import orders were placed with
the makers in France last May for the present Christmas stocks.
That's foresightedness—and it means much. It means first, that
the gloves went through the due and regular process of manu-
facturing and were not hurriedly put together at the last moment
to meet rush orders. The market is inundated with the latter
kind—made carelessly of fresh unprime skins and ready to break
or burst if you even wink at them.
Should one give such gloves?
The gloves at Kerr's! Matured skins, careful, thorough
workmanship, smart surpassing style.
A price review of the stock—
F. W. L.—French lamb skin, overseam—$1.00, two-clasp.
Fownes, Eugenie—Real kid, overseam, all colors, black and
white—$1.50, two-clasp.

$1.50, one-clasp.
Derby Gloves, pique seam, kid, all colors, black and white—
$1.50, two-clasp.

$1.50, one clasp.

in all leading colors and black and white at $2.00.

COSTUMES FOR CIIRIS
SMART AND INEXPENSIVE GOWN3
FOR WINTER WEAR.
Dainty Design Which Is Adapted to
Both School Wear and to Best
Bib and Tucker—Tht
Hobble Skirt.
Mothers are constantly writing me
concerning costumes for their girls—
maids not yet out of school, and who
must be dressed smartly and still, to a
great extent, Inexpensively. Requests
are always for medium ideas, the thing
that will follow the present trend
without being too extreme, and more
than one mamma says plaintively,
"Please don't suggest any of those
freakish hobble skirts "
Regarding this charming thing—for
it can be a charming thing its influ-
ence will continue with us until the
spring at least, so it is impossible to
write any word on fashions without
considering it. But the word "hobble"
is now rarely used. The restraining
band at the bottom of the skirt, the
half ones at the sidf, the taut section
that may hold in the back alone, are
all with us still, but the garment dis-
playing them has been renamed to
suit squeamish tastes. Different ma-
kers use different names- the narrow
skirt, the toddling skirt, the mediaeval
skirt are some of the titles one hears
—and the lines of none of these affect
the garter about the ankles and the
loolish flouncing which made the style
such a horror when it first came out.
To be effective, the narrow skirt must
?ie a thing of reason, and there are
many ways of making it such. All
things considered, indeed, the maxi-
mum width allowed—two yards and a
half at the bottom—is enough material
to float around any form tor comfort
and looks, and where a young girl's
figure is sufficiently slim the skirt
may be half a yard narrower with ad
vantage.
Where one refuses to eonslder the
three-yards-and-a-half sort of style,
there are others that are voluminous
enough, though even these must give
something of the narrow look not to
seem archaic. Skirts plalnted all round
and skirts half plaits and half gores
are seen; some bodices coino to the
waist line and are quite generously
lull across the bust; others have belts
far short of the waist; these seeming
to be made sometimes out of nothing
at all. It all depends on one's taste
and type
The picture selected for the week's
j talk and shown herewith has been se-
I lected for medium tastes. It is from
■ the best styles shown for midwinter,
at which time everything offered con
I slders winter's needs up to the last
hour.
I Our illustration shows a trim street
suit which Is an absolute requirement
for girls from sixtun up, and the de-
sign is adapted loth to school wear
and to the best lib and tucker. The
coat is the single breasted model, with
plain back and tightlsh eoat sleeves,
I so much used for the narrow trotting
| skirts. The plaited skirt is attached
to a plain hip yoke, which assures a
j snug fit here, and the apron Is formed
j by a wide box plait. The hobble band

down the plaits may be left off if
liked, for the rear drawing shows the
style without this.
Materials with a rough surface and
woven very lightly are much used for
such costumes, and though the back
>f the coat collar generally shows a
!iit of velvet, satin or silk, a plain suit
would not need this Basket serge, in
I dark blue, a dim olive, golden brown,
i ;>lum or dark red, is a smart and re-
v. a ruing texture for the best eoat suit.
For school war blue serge in a twill
j weave may be used, or else cheviot,
j homespun or flannel.
! Chickasha Car System Is Out
j Chickasha, Okla.- -For the first time
since the Chickasha Street Car com
pany began operations in this city last
July, the system is out of commission
and no cars have been run for three
days. The company has been run-
ning without a reserve generator and
the one in use has given out. Col. C.
F. Woodward, of Wakefield, Mass., is

culties and reports that a new gen-
erator will be installed ut once for
I emergencies.
Handle Factory at Hugo
| Hugo, Okla.—At the offices of the
Hugo chamber of commerce it has
| been announced that the Caylor-Wil-
| bor Handle Manufacturing company

000, and will employ about 2f> hands.
The output will be a hand shaved hick-
ory handle lor which there Is a strong

Tammany Hall Badly Damaged
j New York. Fire Monday partly de-
stroyed Tamman.v Hall, one of the fa-
mous landmarks of early New York
in Fourteenth street near Third ave-
nue. The Olympic theatre, formerly
Tony Pastor's, which is in the western
section of Tammany ilall, was serious
ly damaged. For a time it was thought
that Tammany Hull was doomed, and
it was saved only by the most des-
perate work of the firemen. The loss
is $50,000.
Wheat Threatened
Durant, Okla. —The lack of fall rain
threatnes to play havoc with the pros-
pects for a wheat crop in liryan coun
ty next year. This year the yield was
a bountiful one, and the grain brought
a splendid price. After harvest the
indications were that the acreage an-
other year would be materially in
creased. Instead it now appears thai
only a small portion of what was
planted last year can be replanted this
year. I p to the first of November
the r:.in fall this year was but a lit
tie over seventeen Inches,
Will Ask for Life Sentence

attempt will bo made to induce Gover-
nor Haskell to commute the punish-
ment of John Hopkins, convicted wife

ment, according to Judge W. C. Hen-
derson, who defended him. The gover-
nor has once refused to Interfere In
