The Leavenworth weekly times. [volume] (Leavenworth, Kan.) 1870-1880, 1870-11-24

The season has been So warm that furs
have been but little sold or worn, but We
may now expect cold weather, when warmer
garments will be in demand We give be-
low, from the New York Erening Mail, .
seasOnable article on ''Furs."
The market this season has many new and
fancy styles of furs-snch as the Arctic, sill
yer and blue fox, fisher, Egyptian sable,
golden seal, etc., all of which will undoubt-
eddy have a considerable sale on account Of
their richness and beauty, some of them
being far in advance of ANYTHING ever offered
before to the public
Fur sacques will be worn more this sea-
son than ever before They are made
shorter and more in the form of the Eng
lish jacket, worn by the ladies few wears
since. Some few are made in the form Of n
circle, or more after the maniilla pattern.
Astrachan and seal still constitute the ma
, terial selected, but the finer grades of the
former. such rs the Persian, are eagerly
sought after. In the seal they are mostly
worn without trimmings. In Astrachan the
angora fringe still gives character to the gar
ment.
Muffs are nearly the same as las, year, per-
haps little smaller, but trimmed richer, the
fines, satin being only used MANY of the
mufls are carried withou; tassel-, and made
. after the French pattern. IL tassels the
pocket book Is the richest and most novel.
| Then there is the satchel mnti and the
Princess Christina, both of which styles have
a great deal Of merit in themselves, but
which will probably not have so large sale
IA the former.
The collars are still worn in the pointed
and Eugenie shape and do MT materially
differ from those oil last year. In boas some
what new and beautiful STYLES are presented,
the Patti, Favor:te, SINGLE and double ANA
ION being of recent importation and consider
ed Ia mode. In fact, boas will have large
run on account OF being less cumbersome and
of more recent designs.
The prices Of nearly all grades for this
season are lower than ast-no, on account of
being worn less than formerly As some have
got the mistaken idel, but rather On account
of the decline in the gold market, and the
UNUSUAL large collection of last year; lartiru
larlv in the lower grades is this more nc,ice-
able

ground peas. This meal is first bolsed. The

cooked IN their own fat. Salt and savory

are added to the bolted pea meal, and ali

4 New York correspondent, writing of the
great comedian now at Booths, says:
] have frequently asked when Jefferson
wiIIcease to play Rip Van Wsnkle, The
proper response is, when the drama has
ceased to draw, which, from presen; appear
ance will be some time in 1890.
As l have said, Jefferson will be very glad
to appear in something else, but, since the
people won't have anthing else, Rip is kept
on the stage.
Jeherson's engagement is peculiar, being
without limitation. Ii is to continue in
definitely; in other words, as long as Jef5er-
son wishes. The terms between him and
Booth are that they share the receipts after
deducting $500 a night to pay the expenses
of the house. There have often been in the
theater 8, 300 and s., 400 audiences; SO that
Jefferson had for his share 5000 and $3.50
night. At profit of from 81 600 to 5000
q week, almost any one might afford to play
Rip Van Wrinkle; and l do not wonder JET
ferson adheres to it, especially as the public
insists on its continual repetition.
