Fur Cloaks and Wraps.

Sealskin and otter remain the most fash
ionable of all furs for fine wear Sacques
will suffer no abatement in popularity, and
will doubtless be the most favored of all fur
garments. Longer STYLES are in paletOt and
Newmarket shapes, the latter having a fitted
sleeve, the former a wider, dolman shaped
sleeve, much like those in the various peliSse
patterns Many shorter garments in mantel-
ct, dolman and visite shapes will be worn.
One Of the most stylish of all of the new de
signs is quite like the Medora viSite in gen
eral effect, save that the back is longer and
the fronts extend almost to the bottom of the
dress
Very stylish flowing sleeves are seen OIL
some of the newest shapes, and others are
quite close fitting, with half open, Pelisse
sleeves. While the preference is for plain,
unbranded, long garments, those that are short
are considered much more dressy if there is a
band OF contrasting fur around the edge, and
finish for fronts, collar and sleeves
Fitted short jackets are very popular for
young and slender ladies. Matrons and those
inclined 10 be stout look better in an ample
garment with long back, shorter sides and
very long fronts. There is a new shape that
has very graceful curves from the arm TO the
bottom Of the back, and fronts extending
very nearly TO the bottom OF the dress. This
has mink tails on the bottom for fringe
Other shapes have very short fronts trimmed
across with fringe of mink tails. Sea otter
and sable are used for trimming the more
elegant garments; plucked otter, Alaska
sable and fine dyed beaver are also in favor

The English government has appointed a
royal commission to inquire into the pro-
priety of restoring silver to its former posi-
ton, as a measurer of values in connection
with gold. Bi-rnetalism, it will he remem-
hered, was the rule of the commercial world
for nearly seventy-tive years. What is meant
is, that the ma ajority of the leading nations
agreed TO permit free coinage Of gold and
silver, at a ratio of fifteen and half parts of
the white to one Of the yellow The only
leading nation which made. gold the sole
standard of values was Great Britain Since
1916 every debt due a British subject was
payable i'll London in gold But on the con
tinent and in tine United States the pay
ment could be made in silver as well as gold
When Germany, after the war, exscted
Sl,0DO, ,OOO, 90 from France. the latter was
forced to pay in gold, and Germany took ad
vantage of this payment TO follow the eK
ample OF England, and made gold the sole
unit Of value. Denmark, Scandinavia Italy
and for a time the United States, followed
the example Of Germany, and the result was
that gold increased in purchasing power
which fact showed itself in the cheapening of
every article the value OF which gold meas
ured. This included silver. The result has
been very great distress in the business
world, as no one liked to produce goods on a
falling market. The United States partially
remOnetized silver, and, because of that fact,
has enjoyed better times than has Europe
India, that has an exclusive silver currency,
has been terribly distressed, because it has
had to pay its debts to England in gold, and
the rate of exchange has been ruinous. This
is why England is taking steps TO remonetize
silver, and so check the ruinous fall i'll prices
Should this be accomplished, financiers pre-
dict a new era of prosperity for the whole
world.-Demorest' Monthly.

In accordance with the custom already well
established in the large cities, ladies every
where are having particular days Of the week
or month in which their friends may call on
them. This is a great convenience, enabling
busy women to attend to their other duties
without dreading the intrusion Of a caller as
an inopportune time. On days other than
the reception date, no ordinary caller can
claim the lady's time, and she need not he

physicians and other feminine professionals
usually have one evening IN the month for

women can adopt the same rule. The day

pieces Of furniture like those in the pictures.
This furniture is especially the fashion FOR

such furniture, especially if it has been used
