DO you want handsome set of furs very
much, and lack the wherewithal to pro-
cure them? Have you made up your
mind to give them up, and are you re-
signed and still not at all content? Listen
then to substitute for the fur, a good
substitute, and an economical one You
may make hat. boa and muff all to match.
all to look handsome, and still all to cost
tritie compared with fur. In the first
place, you want great deal of handsome
velvet ribbon, satin-backed, about five
inches wide. and also few yards of inch
wide ribbon to match the wider. You
must get two colors, or else two shades OF
one color, for they're not half so striking
in one shade. First make your hat; a
toque. or some small shape is the best
thlng TO get. Cover the shape with
fine cloth, and then make a pretty. fiat
rosette of the narrow ribbon in both your
shades. for the side of the toque. Put a
few folds OF the velvet at the edge, two or
three algrettes and loops of ribbon in front
and your hat is done. The set / saw was
In dark brown and rich green, and the
effect was very good. The boa, or collar
cite, was made of small ruffies of broad
brown velvet, fastened to a brown satin
foundation, and caught down with
twisted folds of the narrow green; broad
satin ribbons tied 1t in 'front.'
The muf was first soft wad covered
with brown SATIN. over it mere gathered
brown ribbons, and through the center q
twist of green. Together the three looked
very imposing. and almost as rich as fur.
Some magnificent toilettes are display
ing themselves at the select readings
which society is at present listening to.
One glowing picture the other day filled q
box at the lyceum in which the reading
was given, and attracted as many eyes as
did the reader. for she wore black gown
OF heavy, rough rep; the rep ran across:
slender enough. A deep ruffie of
some gauzy black material accordion
plated half covered the skirt. The bodice
was of Empire cut, and had two broad
revers that turned back over the shoulders,
trimmed with narrow ruffles of the same

softly twisted, pointed upward, fastening
IN a great knot. The sleeves were very
broad and full, of the orange also, except
for plated gauze cuff. There was full
fold of orange velvet at her throat, and the
black velvet strings of the hat, fastened
above, made the orange appear still more
flaming.
Another tall woman, very fair, with hair
so pale that il was little deeper than a
cream, wore a magnificent wrap Of pale
green cloth. At its edge was deep band
of dark green plush, cut up and down,
where it joined the cloth, in scraggly, I'M
even points. edged with gold. There was
also yoke of the dark green plush, cut in
the fantastic style of the band, and white
lambs wool at the neck. She wore a
white hat. with a beaver band of pale
green. 1t had many loops of white ribbon
that shaded into green and many Prince
of Wales tips that shaded from pale green
into bright one.
Hats with most brilliant effects, that
can still be made most cheapiy. are now
beginning to come forth. The first fall
hats are awfully stunning, but awfully ex-
.ravagant. One needed full purse to in
dulge in one of these luxuries. But now
that the season is settling itself, every
thing is triie more sensible-that is. a
few things are appearing that ordinary
people can avail themselves of; for in
