SOME CHOICE WINTER GARMENTS.

unis treatment, but they are like new in
every respect. ] may say also that have
treated wooden dresses and mems clothes
to this same style of bath, and all dirt and
grease drop out as If by magic. Panta-
looms, fine cravats, vests, coats and bicy-
Gle sweaters have all gone into the bath
and come out purified.
I find gasoline very useful to destroy
moths, and have boldly soaked my seal
skin cape In 1t. But 1t Is very inflamma-
BILE and must not on any account be used
In room where there is fire.
Fur is one of the great standbys where
warmth Is considered. Unfortunately fur
capes and coats are costly, and so not all
can have them, but an appearance Of
warmth can be had quite reasonably by
having woolen or velvet garments inter-
lined thickly and bordered or otherwise
trimmed with fur 1t takes very little to
give very comfortable effect. Some
gowns have q narrow band around the
bottom of the skirt or around the waist
or down one side of the skirt and waist,
with bands around the sleeves and neck.
Astrakhan is as popular this season as 1t
was last and In some cases whole gowns
and jackets to match are made of 1t. 1t
makes most sumptuous costume, but is
very much liked and is made of astrakhan
and other furs as we'll. think the moire
astrakhan IL better liked than the black
Persian. saw one very elegant costume
where the skirt was of cadet blue diagonal
cheviot The waist was entirely of black
nstrakhan, sleeves and all, and there was
four inch border around the bottom of the
skirt. The waist opened at the neck In a
small V to show a cardinal silk vest and
full ruff of the same at the neck. The
waist had short point both front and
back. 1t was tasteful and handsome
combination.
Some new coats for very cold days are
extremely handsome as we'll as stylish.
One had loose jacket of white felt cloth,
short, like a box coat, but with slight
point In front. It was bound all around
with skunk fur. There were oversleeves
resembling hussar sleeves. There were one
high collar Of the felt, and fiat collar Of
the fur, and epaulets of black military
braid. tOn the front Of the jacket and on
the front.of the fly sleeves there was rich
black huesar braiding. Another jacket,
with hussar braid and hanging "piquets,
was of tan colored melton cloth, fitting
tightly to the waist This was bordered all
around with astrakha and had wide
dat COLLAR and another high one of the
astrakhan. The dress to wear with this
should also have band Of the fur at the
bottom. A light blue melton cloth tight
jacket had wiie collar OF the melton,
nearly covered with astral han, and high,
rolling collar Of the same. The cuffs and
pocket lids were also OF the fur, and down
tho front OF the coat were brandebourgs to
fasten 1t. The husRsr military style appears
to be quite favotite, and 1t Is undeniably
handsome and becoming
This by no means ends the list Of fur
trimmed garments, for there Is no caprice
that has not been carried out. Even
cream bengaline ball dress had skunk fur
around the neck and over the shoulders
One superb black velvet redlngoto had
square shawl collar OF yellow fox fur and
q narrow edge Of the same down the front
and wide bands on the wide flowing sleeves
These were shaped like leg o. mutton at
the top and hared out " idely AZ the wrist
There arc mantles and eapes OF all sorts OF
stuff, velvet, silk, cloth, cashmere, etc.,
and they have bands, borders. resers or
