Indoor Golf in New York Clubs

Golf players in the east have arrange
ments made for them in winter which
give them considerable advantage over
the western experts. Several of the
prominent clubs in New York have re-
spected the rise of the sport by allottirs
rooms to it's devotees Here they have
placed small hazards, tees and putting
greens and can swing their drivers with
the assurance that the balls will not
mash the windows. Teachers have been
engaged to instruct the curious in the
science of the game and to break the
inexperienced of the habit of "foozing"
too often. 1t is proposed by many of
the Chicago organizations to follow
this example and Introduce practice in

AUTUMNAL REFLECTIONS

(By the Village Dressmaker.)
The western sky has trimmed it's skirts
with ruffles all the way.
And bias stripes of salmon pink and hello
trope and gray;
And then, to make it worse, has finished
off its yellow waist
With pipings made of turkey-red, in very
shocking taste.
The autumn leaves, like polka dots, are
lying on the ground;
The flower beds of calico are whiting all
around;
The purple-velvet pansy and the frumpy-
leaved old rose,
When night goes into mourning will prob
ably be froze.
The sun tucks up his orange-satin quilt
about his head,
And stuffs his ears with cotton batting
clouds and goes to bed;
While the roosters on the high back fence
their feathers fiirt and shake,
AS they dream about the boas which their
tails some day will make

True to the prevailing craze for fur.
even the milliners have fallen in line.
and although We have had fur trimmings
to some extent for a very long time, this
season they will appear on all the fash
ionable hats for out-of-door u.s.. and
even some theater hats as well. Sable
heads and tails are greatly in favor, for
two reaSons-the fur stands very near
the head of the list this year, and the
head and tails lend themselves easily to
graceful arrangement. One very charm

velvet, with black ostrich tips at the side
while rosette of the sable was placed

FUR TRIMMING
To Be the Rage the Coming
Winter
ERMINE AND CHINCHILLA
HIIL BE FAvoRITEs FOR LINING
COLLARS
Fur Boas Very Popular Even Furs
Have Succumbed to the Blouse
Effect Fad

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-This winter
we are to have all sorts of fur combina-
tions, including the blouse effects. This
v1ll extend in more directions than has
heretofore seemed possible. The almost
invariable style which has ruled since
furs were worn of making q garment all
Of one variety Of fur is to be entirely
changed. The composition Of the gar
ment will be left entirely to the taste OF
the wearer.
At first blush the full meaning Of this
sudden change Is not apparent. 1t Is
plain enough when you come to think OF
it. How about the sealskin sacque! Has
It reached the diamond stage? You
know the diamond is in second place
now, but sealskin has held its own. The
woman who could boast of $500 or $500
luxury Of this sort was the envy OF ner
less fortunate sisters. And now, now
they will crow over her with their natty
combinations that are quite within the
reach of the moderately filled pocket
book 1t is going to be hard winter for
0ealskin sacQues.
Simplicity of treatment Is thing OF
the past, 80 far as the furs are con-
cerned, and garments and wraps made of
this ever popular material are very COM
plicated affairs indeed. We used to
thin kthat fur was an article in a clas's
by itself and not susceptible of much
variety Of arrangement, but skins today
are treated as if textiles. Bands of fur,
when used for bordering, are frequently
put on slightly full and the use of a
portion of the fur against the grain"
also tends to give variety Of effect
which is the end and aim of the present
style.
It seems rather queer to think Of fur
yokes, but we will be quite accustomed
to the idea before winter is over. For
very dressy capes intended for evening
wear these yokes will be made of white
baby lamb or errnine without tails, while
for palmer garments combinations of
baby lamb with astrakhan and sealskin
with any thick, brown fur or with chin
chilla will be used. When yoke effects
are to be obtained, the lower part is, Of
course, fulled on the yoke part with
more or less fullness, according to the
softness and pliabiHty of the particular
fur employed.
For lining the collars Of fur garments,
ermine and chinchilla will be the IA

at the ends Fur collars are always q
desirable adjunct to winter costumes,
but this is pre-eminently a fur season,
and We will have fur on everything, as
well as different varieties put together
in one garment. Fur collars which are
made of whole skins, fox is the favorite,
and sable or marten collars requiring
two skins stand next in the popular
fancy.
Some of the more fanciful collars for
ella borate wraps are ornamented with
velvet, satin or lace, or some combna-
tion of these materials. and some of the
short-haired furs lend themselves ex-
tremely well to embroidery. especially
