FOUGHT UNCGn n1.TER.
Mink Drowned While Killing Musk
 rat in an AdIrnndacI. PonI

rat in an Adirondack Pool
 The muddlcd water of a half-frozen cove down on the flats told that some thing unusual had happened not long before. Plainer yet was the tale when a stiffening furred body rose to the sur face of the little open space of water. Under the fringe of nearly frozen ice a dark spot showed plainly to a wood mans eye that a fight had occurred in the water, and a closer inspection demonstrated that it had been a fight for food and fight for fife.
 A hungry mink had come that way along a string of coves looking for something to eat. The mice were shy, and he could not catch them. Of fish there were none, but lone muskrat, diving for roots ana after a minute be- meath the waters surface rising again, offered prey at once a fighter and of goodly taste. A mink likes to kill a fighter. He wiK go a long way from brooks, upon hill and even mountain tops, looking for one, woodsmen say. He tackles martens or weasels, and is especially fond of a big muskrat.
 The mink crouched on the edge of the ice moment; then, as the musl1rat rose, he sprang for his prey. The musk rat quickly threw up his head and caught the mink by paw. The mink got held of the muskrat,s neck. skin hold only. They rolled and kicked the water high in the air, throwing it ten feet away into the snow. The mink could have killed the muskrat had they been in the snow or on the ground. but In the water the muskrat was too DOW erful. At last they dived, and above them the water boiled and grew yellow with mud.
 Under water the mink was as badly off as at the surface. At last the mlnk's breath gave out. and letting go, he tried to rise, but the muskrat would not release his hold on the mink's leg. So at last the mink, after much strug- gllng, died. But his hold on the musk rats throat, though at first only a skin hold, had later been forced back. and the big vein had been cut. The mink rose to the surface, and the muskrat tried to swim away, but died, and rose as the other had done.

epaulets and buttons These give a very
square effect to the shoulders, and they
strike one with quite shock of surprise
at first and not a pleasurable shock either,
but we shall soon become so familiar with
Trilby coats that we will scarcely notice
them. / do not marvel after the popular
ity of the book and play that there should
be Trilby coat, but why it was SO long
coming is what puzzles me.
Perhaps we were just drifting that way
anyhow, for / have noticed many attempts
at epaulets of other kinds. One fancy has
been to have slashed berthas Of different
materials, notably of stiff gold or silver
embroidery on white cloth, silk, satin OF
velvet. When these are laid over the
shoulders, the slashed portions resemble
epaulets.
L saw one gown of bottle green velvet
where there was such bertha done in
gold on old rose satin. The skirt Of the
dress was plainly gored. The waist was
snug and was finished at the bottom by q
simple piping. The upper part of the
waist was gathered into yoke and below
this the bertha was set. The sleeves were
balloon puffs, the forearm pieces being OF

was of the velvet. The combination was
very rich and the old rose showing be.

bination, but one that has had quite a
vogue this winter.
Very few of the berthas have been inst
berthas without suggesting anything
else, but there was one very quaint gown
with real genuine bertha that did not try
to be anything else. I must begin with
the waist. This was of Persian brocade
as far as the upper part and sleeves were
concerned. The lower portion was of sill
yer gray corded silk, made in point and
with basque around the bottom, not
quite meeting in front and finished with
two silver buttons on each SIDE The cor.
sage opened to show the under part, and
the bertha fell over the bust and shoulders
from an overturned seam. 1t was bor-
dered with fur and was very effective and
handsome. The skirt was bordered with
fur, and altogether the gown was worthy
of imitation, which we all know is the
surest proof Of our admiration
The liberty yelvets are wonderfully
pretty. They are printed in Persian pat
terms and other odd designs There are
also many styles of silk with velvet stripes
between the delicate and vaporous cheney
patterns. These materials are mostly used
