Ahemi II is really a bit marvellous TO
see how dear womans adjournment goes
on all tours with affairs OF state. word
comes from the fur beings that seal"
skins. barometer OF the peit market,
will be only 10 per cent. higher than
last season-further, that this moderate
ness is owed 10 the pelagic sealers, who
defied at once the terrors Of the frozen
deep. Of Uncle Sam and his sailormen
and OF vilainous saltpeter. No wonder
they have their reward in an enormous
catch. Fortune, Il Is notorious, favors
the bold. No wonder either II next year
they be holder than ever and bring back
such store of peits as shall make the
heart Of womankind TO sing for joy.
No matter how many come as many
mere will be needed. For now my lady
is not content with a single seal coat,
even though II be snug and shapely as
the new model here set down that she
wears for the promenade. For her car
riage she wears cape Of sealskin fall
ing 10 the feet and plentifully edged with
mink tail or sable. Then, too, she orders
seal bands Of the richest, the darkest
upon her house gown, her smart evening
frocks, and for cloth costumes the new
fur mosaic passementerie where pat
tern Of one skin is set in a ground of
another.
AS for example, Virginia creeper leaf
Of beaver inlaid upon sealskin, the out
line defined with gold or silver cord.
Or maybe It is seal flowers upon ground
OF sable, or baby lamb, the rich soft
wavy hlackness stripped from young
creatures. strangled at birth. Besides all
this there are hats and toques OF seal
skin-it is the fur OF furs for headgear-
and lots OF loops and whiffels for trim
ming plain felt, or giving eclat OF style
to cloth head coverings made to match
the gown.
Mink, too. retains its hold on fashions
mind. 1t is, In fact, an excellent thlrd
to sable and seal-which, it is safe to
say, will go out Of style only when FUR
is tabooed Beaver will be much used
for the little folks-in capes, coats, arm
lets and so on. as well as in bands Tor
trimming the gowns Of their mothers,
their sisters. their cousins and their
aunts Astrakhan Is likewise favorite
for this winter as it has been for sew
eral winters past. The newest thing,
indeed. Is that excellent old one-ermine-
which. it is said, will figure very largely
in the later seasons modes.

The steady increase Of advertising busi-

the enlargement of the space in which The
Star tells, each weekday, the story of the

An occurrence. the like Of which may
take place in any assemblage, resulted yes
terday In a panic and In the injury of sew
eraf school children. For the cause no one
can be blamed. but for the stampede and
its consequences there Is responsibility.
Taken as whole there are no more adj
mirably conducted schools than those in
which the young folks of this city receive
their education, but yesterdays experience
would indicate the existence Of a short
coming easily supplied. In the first place
the children in the public schools should be
frequently exercised in what may be termed
fire drill" they should be taught, at the
sound Of alarm, to fall into line and to
move only when and as directed by their
respective teachers Frequent drilling
would do much to dull the sensations OF fear
naturally consequent upon cry of fire"
or any other disturbing utterance and when
there was real necessity for mental cool
ness and physical elaboration 1t could
reasonably be looked for. The panic in the
GARRETT building. serious as it was. would
have been much worse had not at least
one Of the teachers controlled a roomful
of excited girls by shutting the door and
keeping 1t shut, and the mad rush might
have been made without injury to any one
had there been more than one available exit
from the building. There Is no excuse to
be found In the fact that building opera
tons had blocked up a doorway; the closing
of that exit was q piece of inexcusable
carelessness. Even two exits seem to be
insufficient to guarantee the safe departure
Of six hundred children. Through the bruis-
ing of q few little ones-for which every
one Is sorry-a lesson was presented that
should be needed at once. Fire drills and
ample exit capacity are not too costly for
immediate consideration.
