Perhaps You may have read last
winter about the open Missing of

published because it was new. The

tiers of wealth assemble in box, and

There arc also antique bodices, sleeves,

If warmth of appearance generates
warmth of body, then some of the fur
bordered garments worn this season
may be what they seem; but the cold
fact is that many woman whose Jacket
Is heavily edged with fur is at the same
time shiyering under II scant covering.
A strip of temperate zone runs around
her neck, down her front, and around
her hips, underneath the fur trimming,
but the rest of the garment, especi lily
If she be herself thicker than she likes,
Is an inadequate covering of frigid
goose flesh. This picture shows that
such coats are decidedly handsome,
however, and they set off good figures
admirably. All sorts of fur are used
in their embellishments, from black to
white, and there is an equal variety in
the fabrics. Jauntiness is aimed at
and great deal of artistic skill can he
used in adapting the shapes to the in
dividuality of the wearer.
There are dressier wraps than the
Jackets, however, and two of them are
here illustrated. The first one is Il
part of very charming winter toilet.
The bodice is tight, like Jacket, but
it extends into something like the dra-
peries of a skirt. The material in the
model from which the drawing was
made is myrtle green cloth, braided
with black, while the NUT is of the

HOY Clmp.or Is Maur,

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way; After n tree is felled to the earth
it is cut into chips, which are laid in a
tub or large iron pot partially filed
with water and placed over a slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the
tub steam slowly rises, and heating the
chips generates oil and camphor. OF
course, the tub with the chips has close
ly fitting cover. From this cover u bam-
boo pine leads to a succession of other
tubs with bamboo connections, and the
last of these tubs is divided into two
compartments, one above the other,
the dividing floor being perforated
with small holes to allow the water and
oil to pass to the lower compartment.
he upper compartment is supplied
with straw layer, which catches and
holds the camphor in crystal in de-
post as it passes to the cooling process
The camphor is then separated from
the straw, packed in wooden tubs, and
is ready for market. The oil is used
by the natives for Illuminating and
other purposes.
