STYLES IN SMALL FURS.
The Reign of the Boa to Be as Popular q
il was Last Season.

ne Reign OF Lne BOA TO DC as fOpu1HF As
it WAS Last Season.
The reign of the boa is not over:
that incomprehensible yet becoming Or
nament, garment, or accessory, in
whichever category it may be classed,
has entwined itself sinuously into the
affections and around the shoulders of
the devotees of fashion, and there it
will probably remain considerable
part of the winter.
Boas of fluffy black bear, Russian
sable, Hudson Bay sable, gray, silver
and black fox, are among the more ex-
pensive furs, and black lynx. natural
lynx, and black marten are the more
moderated-priced furs, the preference
usually being either for black or very
light furs.
Persian lamb and astrakhan are
favorite furs this season. and the COM
bination of seal-skin with astrakhan is
too striking to escape notice, even
among the smaller furs.
The deep Russian collar, crossing
diagonally on the bust and fastened at
the side, is favorite addition to the
street garment of cloth or plush, and
in seal-skin with astrakhan appliques
apparently embedded in the fur. it is
very effective. Collars of Persian
lamb, astrakhan, beaver and various
smooth-surfaced furs, are worn both
separately and in connection with
other outer garments, and partly sup
ply the place of the short capes or
pelerines of fur which are still occa-
sionally seen. Small cuffs of fur to
match the collar are used. but when
a muff is carried they are not very
graceful.
Muffs are still the small round balls
of fur they were last winter, and are
simply finished with soft satin lin
ing. Seal-skin muffs are sometimes
trimmed with cords of silk finished
with small balls of fur, or with bows
of ribbon. and some even are trimmed
with other fur.
Trimming furs include great vari-
ety-black furs, such as black bear,
black marten, Russian and Hudson Bay
sables; and light-colored furs, such as
natural lynx, cinnamon bear, white
Persian lamb and light-colored beavers.
Directoire reeves of fur are put on cloth
or plush wraps and redingotes, and
bands of fur edging the skirt, the
basque, or in lengthwise strips on the
80 20 fhou lininn- n tho
folds or plaits of the drapery, are very
much used on either silk or wooden
costumes.
Turbans and toques of seal-skin are
trimmed with bands of otter, lynx or
beaver, or with wings and different
ornaments of fancy feathers. and often
with both. For trimmings on cloth
toques are of dark or light furs, as
preferred, usually being selected with
view to contrast - Demorests

Ten cents was the reward given a
Pottstown (Pa.) man the other day
who found a stray 5000 team and
spent an hour in finding the owner.
You will find yourself much happier
in studying the good qualities of others
and exercising feelings of charity and
good will toward them than you will by
criticising them. The one course will
make you happy, the other miserable.
Give free indulgence to every noble and
generous sentiment. Rejoice in the ex-
cellence and prosperity of others. Keep
self out of view and show interest in
others. Sympathize with them and
. su<aY into theiEteeGuRA.
