THE ruE FLUFF OF FASHION.

The coat of sealskin lends encourage
ment to the little woman who wear
Elton and zouave shapes becomingly,
for there will be considerable run
upon fur garments in these cuts this
autumn. Another popular fur gar
ment will be the cape, either of fur en-
tirely or of cloth with fur collar and a
seeond, shorter cape overlapping the
longer one. Slim young women will
find short, loose-ronted sealskin
coats recommended to them. but in
longer garments both economy and
the wish to avoid crushing weight will
point to combinations of fur and cloth.

Autumn.

in Order.
WITH PINK, PURPLE AND GOLD.

With the coming of autumn and the
passing away of summer days there
comes also a regular annual influx of
brides, or little in advance of them
come dinners and luncheonS by the
score.
Engagements once made and an
nounced, these functions are as certain
to follow as the nightmust the day.
Therefore the months preceding No
vember and indeed the early days of
that month itself, may well be said to
be given over to Cupd's honor. Some
few of our last seasons weddings
were entirely sumptuous, and for q
time there was danger that the infec-
ton might spread, and that charming
simplicity might disappear from the
land. But good sense and good breed
ing have triumphed. as they are apt to
do, and it still remains true that in the
eyes of the really select over ornate
display is in poor taste, if not actually
vulgar, and the pre-nuptial entertain
ments already given, as well as those
in the near future. will be remembered
for their comparative simplicity before
all else.
The engagement dinner has become
quite an established function. Upon
the size of the young couples circle the
number given must depend, as an es-
sential matter of course; but whether
there are only the two which represent
the families most concerned. or a dozen
rendered by interested friends, the de-
tails and arrangements are much alike.
Loves knots, Cupids bows and similar
emblems are in great demand. Hearts
and arrows take precedence of all
else.
Two which were given last week
were as nearly perfect as such things
can be and gave unbounded satisfac-
ton to the guests of honor.

Nansen is likely to pass through the
mysterious region frozen tightly into
an immense ice place over which he
will have 20 control. In this case it is
not certain that he will be able to pass
directly over the pole, but may be car
ried some little distance to either LEI
of it. He is in hopes, however, with
the assistance of his dogs and sleighs
to reach the very point where the
earth's axis terminates the true geo
graphical pole.
Fran. DR.. Nansens vessel is possibly
the strongest and the most carefully
built ship atloat. Its construction is
such that when the ice freezes solidlY
around it and begins to press against
the sides, it will be lifted or pushed up-
ward and will rest upon the top of the
ice long before the crushing point is
reached. The bottom is fat the sides
have great shear. 1t is rugged like a
three-masted, schooner and has a
screw propeller, which gives a speed
of eight miles an hour. 1t carries coal

maiden name was Lars and her mother

Nansen is herself Norway's most popu-

not equal to that of the opera singer,
Gina Oselio Bjornson, surpasses it In
sweetness and purity of tone. Wher-

sympathy and admiration naturally
drawn to Nansens wife. some portion
of her success before the public may
be due. She is an admirer of DR..

also careful to have the ship stocked
with a good library. .,
Dr. hansen has on a previous occa-'

He is the only person who has ever
crossed over the interior of Greenland.
In 1883 he undertook the feat and was
crowned with success.

hansen that the parting scene between
her and her husband must have been

was: "Civilization has brought with
