DRIVING CLOAKS.
Pale Yellow Tan and Scarlet Woo
Made of Rough BOucle.


Made of Rough BOucle.
IT MOTHER sample of graceful design
~ IS shown in long cloak fol
IN driving purposes. when the furs are
too heavy and warm. as is often the
case in our changcable climate.
1t is in color pale yellow tan, and in
material n lovely rough boucle, all covered
with IFS silky hairiness.
The long under body is but half fitting,
though curying beautifully at the back,
and fastened down the double!breasted front
with great horn buttons. A set of tiny,
round horn buttons decorate the strap at
the throat, and another at the top OF the
convenient side pocket.
There is a set OF full triple capes piped
about the edge with a thick cord of silk
as big as your finger. A jauBty collar,
tilted back from the face, and wired so
as to stand against any wind, finishes the
throat prettily.
A smart hat, perked directly up in front,
and held there by a bow OF creamy lace, is
of tan felt faced with black velvet, the
outside loaded with a lot of silky black
plumes.
Another charming coat is of scarlet wool,
with all the seams banded with Persian
lamb, and a huge butterfly collar OF the
same fur to turn up about the cars.
The modistes are also turning out many
handsome fur-trimmed gowns for riding
and skating wear. some OF which are re-
markably swell. The one which most takes
the fancy has combination of steel-Sray
broadcloth, yelio wish white kid and ermine
fur. The skirt was a whiriing Paquin,
with stripes of ermine laid over the side
seams and reaching to the waist.
The jacket is a short one, with flaring
basque the Eody OF ermine, fastened with
huge cut ivory buttons. There are sleeves
of steel gray, and huge n,uff of ermne.
while the sweetest bit of hat is made OF
ermine, lace and gray wing.
Nest gowns show a deal OF handsome
braiding, or the more popular applique work
outlined often with tiny jewels.

WHAT SHE DIDN'T SAY.
II She Hnd Used Diplomacy No Dus
Would Have Shown.

" HE following advice, given to n
young married woman, who was
visited by another older and more
experienced one, may be helpful
to some OF our readers.
When the visitor arose to go the hostess
came with her to the door, and out upon the
pleasant piazza, which. however, looked a
little dusty in the corners.
"Oh, dear said the young wife, ''how
provoking the servants are. 1 told Mary
TO sweep the piazza thoroughly, and now
look how dusty it is"
"Grace," said the older woman, looking
into the disturbed young face with kindly
humorous eyes, II am a n old housekeeper.
Let me give you bit OF advice: Never
direct peoples attention to defects. Unless
You do so, they will rarely see them.
'Now, IL 1 had been in your place and
noticed the dirt should have said: How
blue the sky is OF How beautiful the
clouds are.' or How braciDg the air Is
Then should have looked up at that as I
spoke and should have gotten you safely
down the steps and out of sight without
your seeing the dust"
