The WOodpile for the Tramp.

Chicago Times-Herald.
As matter of fact the chronic
tramp is not the result ut adverse in
dustrial conditions. The average
tramp who tramps all the year round
is a tramp from choice. He is pot
yearning to become a productive
member of society. He will wander
many miles to avoid the suspicion of
industry The sight of a woodpile
in winter gives him nervous prostrs-
ton. The nomadic habit will be
fixed one with bin so long as he can
travel from town to town and live
off the bounty of the charitable The
busy hum of factory wheels will not
drive the chronic tramp from the
highways. He is here to stay. The

charities in every city and town

The xtent to which the value Of
wide tires has come to be recognized
is shown by the fact that during the
last twelve months the legislature of
nearly every state has been asked to
pass a bill providing for their com

Jersey has already adopted law OF
this kind and it is reaping the benefit
in the country. With wide tires in

This strip of silk is also used in the

FUR MANTLE.

discussion as to which furs promise to
be most favored this winter. Sable, the
richest of all furs, will lead the way,
closely followed by sealskin, which in
point of fact never is out of fashion.
There are to be countless combinations
not only of different furs, but cloth,
lace and jeweled embroideries. Sable
used in conjunction with seal is destined
to be first favorite. Mink, Persian lamb
and seal are among the popular trim
mings for outer garments Furs are be-
ing much employed in conjunction with
brocades and velvets and have therefore
a special appropriateness as either the
lining or trimming of an evening wrap.
Chinchilla with its soft, dainty tones
Of gray, will occupy prominent place
among fashionable furs this winter,
both alone and in combination with
sealskin. 1t will be used for evening
mantles too.
The shapes in fur garments are almost
without number. There is a wide choice
of lengths and styles in wraps, some of
which end at the waist, while others
fall below the knees. The Russian coat
is prime favorite in fur and fur trim
med garments, just the same as it is in
all cloth garments. The regular Rus
sian blouse is seen made of Persian
lamb. Many of the newest sealskin
coats are made in the full pouched
shape, both back and front, to which
our eyes have been accustomed for
some time past in bodices of various de-
scriptions, and which will prevail, no
doubt, even in cloth and fur all through
the winter months.
These little coats are wonderfully
smart looking, more especially as their
shape requires that some kind of orna-
| mental belt must be worn just above
| the full short basque which waves so
prettily round the figure. AS a rule,
| these belts are of the most elaborate de-
| scription and consist either of medal
| lions of finely wrought metal, connect
| ed by tiny chains, or of crocodile or
| other leather, fastened occasionally with
| jeweled clasps. These belts, by the
way, are very frequently drawn down
quite to a point, la Bernhardt, in
| front, an arrangement which adds con-
| siderably to their becomingness.
| Very useful are the full circular capes
made entirely of Persian lamb and lined
with brocade in some delicately beauti-
full colors. Certain others of these capes
are made entirely of Persian lambs
/ paws, and although they are very effect
i've in appearance they are by no means
extravaganza in price. This idea of using
the paws of the animal has been carried
out in other furs besides the black Per
sian lamb Some exceedingly pretty
capes, for example, have been made en-
tirely of sable paws and these also add
economy to their other virtues A cape
of sable paws, lined with green and
gold brocade, has for finishing touches
