New YoRK, Oct. 29.-Astrakhan is a
material that has figured very prominently
in our winter apparel for some seasons
past. Isit, therefore. old and laid away on
the shelf, with Other fads and fancles in
woman's dressi No, indeed; this season as
trakhan takes high rank among fashionable
materials, and is still admired, respected,
thought much of. Somehow we can't
seem to dispense with 1t. For one
thing, it's so cheap compared
with fur. And IL we don't have fur in
our winter wardrobe, we feel as il we must
have astrakhan. Then 1t has smother adj
vantage about it. We can make collars or
muffs or hats Of It ourselves, If we're clever
and handy, and ow how to turn out a
pretty trife Some women love to sit and
fuss all day over something they are going
to wear, and when 1t is finished
they feel such a satisfaction in wear
ing it, just because it has given
them so much trou BILE aud worry and per
haps vexation. They know just whore
every stitch ID aud how mary stitches it
cost them, and just why that plat Ia laid
there and that fold there. And no one else
could possibly suit then. as they feel they
have suited themselves. There are other
women who couldn't, VIII wouldn't be
| bothered with any such tribes. They mnst
buy what they want r. else do without it.
But it Is the st class Of women 1 want
to talk to now. | want o tell them about
