seal, and whoever is much exposed by

yearly allowance for dress. The fur-llned
circles are no longer strictly fashionable
garments, like the standard forty-two-nch
length seal saqueS. they are in demand
already, practical women choosing them
for general use to any other mld-Wlnter
wrap, on account of their convenience OF
being put ON or off and also for the reduced
prices at which they are sold. Those lined
with mink are preferred by economical
buyers as they are the most durable and
the warmest Beaver NUTS are The first
favorites for young girls, but seal and seal
plush muffS are also much in favor, while
pretty mutfs, i'll the form OF reticuleS, come
with Paris hats, matching the same in ma
terials and trimmings. Seal plush sacques
and short mantle, trimmed with either
feather bands or bands and tails of
black otter, brown beaver or Alaska
sable are sold IN large numbers to
choice customers for the intermediate sea-
son. The real or imitation tails of animals
whose fur trims or composes the entire
wrap are feature in this seasons wraps
of all kinds. Cloth boots, faced ana foXed
with kid, are again worn, and shoes laced
on the side as well as over the instep are
regalnng popular favor. Half-boots are
preferred TO slippers for indoor wear, and
are made dressy with bows of ribbon fire.
QUently edged with steel or jet, placed be-
tween the toe and instep. CapeS, fchus
and peterines of fur or of velvet plush or
heavy broche or matelaSse and trimmed
with fur, remain in favor; but If you medi-
tate making such one at home be sure
not to get pattern with the high-Shoul-
dered effect, for that style is no longer in
vogue. The shoulders are only slightly
raised IN the most fashionable garments,
but the shoulder seams remain very short
and the sleeve is held a little full at that
point III setting it into the armhole. but no
stuffing, stitfening or padding is used either
for the shoulders of wraps or dresses.
FAT WOMEN
are tried at this season of the year-not
after the manner of trying out lard. but by
the other extreme of shivering congealment.
They are naturally so bulky that they don't
like to pile on buds enough for warmth.
and so suffer the tortMes of Chinese
sheol-which is Arctic, you know. The
woman who writes to me for "a remedy for
growing obesity" as she lis forty and
growing fat, if not fair" is reminded that
many recipes and directions for preventing
such atfliction have been from time to time
printed in my letter. Without repeating, [
will briefly state that lean meats, dry
breads, plenty OF exercise, early rising, few
vegetables and no beer, wine nor sweets
should be INDUCED in. Regarding her
selection of styles Of dress calculated to
conceal stoutmess," her attention is directed
to the fashion of waistcoatS and plastrons as
boon to women who are beginning to grow
stout A dress lately made for woman who
is approaching the fat, fair and forty'
period OF life is good eXemplifcation and
model OF what is needed for the over
plump. 1t has a skirt made of dark-brown.
Irish barney cloth and velveteen of same
shade combined. The bodice is short
jacket, pointed in front and short ON the
hips, but heightened into narrow ducks
bill position iii the back. In front is in
serted charming little adjustable plastron
waiStcOat, which can be made larger or
smaller by lacing underneath. This waist
coat is of brown and tan-colored brocade
with little CLEANS of gold in the silk and
wOol-ground. The narrow cuffs and high
collars are of the same brocade. Carved
wooden rosary beads of the darker shade
of brown edge the whole jacket. 1t can be
worn with any skirt and is beauty, and
the stout woman who wears it will look
only plump and full, not fat.
THE MENTION OF CHINA
in the last paragraph suggests rice, and that
reminds me of bride who came from her
Brooklyn wedding to seek seclusion with
her hubby i'll a hotel temporarily. She
had dotted her marriage garments before
leaving home, and donned costume that in
nOwiSe indicated fresh wedlock. Moreover.
she sedulously refrained from shy demon
STATIONS of fondnesS toward her spouse,
and flattered herself, as she crossed the
sidewalk from the carriage to the hotel en-
trance, that she had the air of an accus-
toned wife. In the elevator, however, she
was dumfounded and chagrined to observe
that the other passengers smiled at one an
other in mighty knowing way. 1t was
evident that all her precautions had failed,
and that she was palpably bride. On
reaching her room and taking off her bon
net shower of rice fell to the carpet. The
give-away stuff had lodged there on being
brown at her for good luck from the portal
of her ancestral home.
