SEWING A WOMANLY ART,

Sewing is a most womanly art. \ wo-
man is never more feminine than when
she has needle and thread in her hand.
1t is the right of every little girl to be
taught to sew neatly, even if it costs the
mother some self sacrifice. Very few wo-
men are wholly exempt from the needle.
On the contrary, almost every woman
must take more or less care of her own
wardrobe, even if she has no family respon
sibility. Machines cannot sew up rips in
gloves, replace buttons or mend. Some
stitches must be taken, and how to sew
neatly is an accomplishment quite as nee
essary, if not more So to the happiness of
women, than any other, If little girl be
taught early how to use her needle, sewing
will soon become a sort of second nature
to her.

WINTER GARMENTS.

A cold winter is predicted, and furs
promise to he most desirable for wraps.
They will also be much used as trimmings
as they give warm effect to both cloaks
and gowns, and are associated as well with
diaphanous laces and chiffon. Coats capeS
and collars are made of furs so flexible
that they are used very much as cloths and
velycts are. And there is such in these
garments that something appropriate Is
found for women all sizes and ages. Goats
and capcs will be equally fashionable. The
coats commend themselves for warmth. and
because they display fine figure. CapcS
are liked when breadth must he added, and
because they slip off and on easily.
New boas are much larger than those Of
last season. They are made short, wide,
and Hat, requiring the backs of two animals
and are finished with three tails at each
end, or else tail and two paws. They
are arranged to turn up or down at plcasur"
and are in all fashionable furs-Sahlc,
mink, chinchila. seal Persian lamb,
erminc. and in the stone marten, with its
delicate coloring, which wears for years.
There is also fancy for large boas of the
various fox furs made up in animal shape,
like the crayats of last year, with the
animals head showing. These are the
warmrst of all boas. and sometimes have
long tails that reach to the knee of the
wearer. White black. blue and gray fox.
silver fox, and the french dyed foxes are all
represented.
Muifs are smaller than those Worn last
winter. and are faced inside with fur; other
wise they are without trimming. They
are in all the ius, to match jackets, ccllars
and capcs
For midwinter there are graceful long
Russian coats of cloth, in golden brown, red
dish brown. black, or gray cloths, covering
the costume entirely, Tapped to the left side
with Il huge shawl collar of fur, the sleeves
very large and the lining throughout of 4
