will be in good shape for all of next winter, and be feasible for making over for the following winter. If you need it, therefore, buy now and let the or
 gandies wait; but if you don't need fur, then don't be tempted. Remember that you take the risks of storage of
 change of style, of loss and of change in your own dimensions. It is to es-
 cape many of these risks that the deal
 CT is tempting you now with prices that
 make many woman fall into the trap
 of an expensive economy.
 if however, you are determined on taking advantage of the current low figures. there is a collarette in this pie ture that will be of interest to you It was mink, the wide, bretelle-like bands
 secured to dark green broadcloth, of which the dress beneath 1t was made.
 Muff and collar were, of course, of the
 same fur, and the collar, besides mak- ing a handsome framing for the face,
 was very cosy At the back the collar cite was but little more than half the length of the front, so with the open
 sides and uncovered arms there was 1 little to be said in favor of the garment as to the protection it afforded. But | fully half of our stylish furs are open to the same criticism. Stylish caps are not warm, and if you are determined on securing warmth, go in for a jack | ct. Persian coats give better wear than those of any other fur, and are stylish, but not particularly dressy. Electric | seal is every bit as pretty as the real | thing, and wears just as well. Sable
 does not make up well in jacket. | Chinehilla trimmings have been fash | ionable, but the fur is very delicate,
 not becoming except to a good winter
 complexion, and may not be in vogue
 next season. You see, you must have
 your judgment on hand if you are go- ing in for a bargain in fur just now. FLORETTE

M zola doubts whether he will write 8 book about London. He says: If I were to do anything iii that way it would be based on what I saw in Lon don's great waterway, the Thames, which has been the source of all the wealth, power and grandeur of the capital of England. Whoever has not seen the Thames cannot explain the greatness of London, whose heart and pulse it is. I should certainly be at tracted by the Thames in anything I might be induced to write. I do not know the people, however; they are perfect strangers to me. I was com paratively at home in Rome, you know. It was to me as the south of France, where was brought up. could enter into the spirit of a kindred latin race, to which I partly belong; but England Is different. That bit of seething wa ter, the Channel, between us and Albion, is, an abyss-a gulf which sep arates the two countries morally as well as materially. No! I really think that I can do nothing deep with Eng land, any more than I can with Amer ica. which people are asking me to vis- it. It would take years to study these countries, and I am no longer young.

restraining order granted by Judge
Henry to prevent the police from inter-
fering with the pool rooms has been dis

done. The book makers who have been
running the Chicago exposition race
track announce that racing will be re-
sumed there next Saturday, Judge
Henrys decision having disposed of the
