There may be a few exemplary indi-
Viduals belonging to forehanded race
OF people now nearly extinct who lay
in their stock of Christmas presents be-
fore the last fortnight, but there are
enough of their improvident brethren to
share one another's misery by crowding
every shop in the city until breathing
spaces are as scarce as pure air to
breathe. And these miserable prOcraS-
tinators are not mere sight-seers who
have come to look on-nobody would do
that a second time after encountering
the first crush. On the contrary they
are in desperate earnest, and not being
able to get near the counter without g
fierce struggle they buy recklessly the
first thing they see which can possibly
be construed into an acceptable gift
for anybody. There is no time or op-
portunity to debate upon so irrelevant
matter as the question of suitability
to any particular Individual. In a gen
eral way, one buys something that will
do for either Mary or John, according
as it is used for a pin tray or an ash
receiver. There needs no argument to
show that this is all mis-directed gener-
osity as we'll as transgression of all
resolutions for economy.
A fellow feeling and a philanthropic
desire to help those who are wallowing
in the mingled mire OF desperation and
eXtrava gance prompted the writer
to go the rounds of the shops before the
usual eleventh hour to see what new
temptations the willy vendor of
Christmas gifts has in store for those

ALL ABOUT THE WOMAN Of FASHION.
Home Made Fur and Velvet Col|arettes---Coat Collars
That Do Not Match Their Coats-.-C christmas
Skating Costume

Of all the large and f1ourshing New
York dry goods houses. there is but one
which refuses to turn itself annually
into a Christmas bazar. All the rest
have the general aspect of church fair
from the beginning of December to the
end 1t is only within the last few
years that merchants have realized
how great is the profit of the trade in
manager of the church fair has known
all laboutit ever since she presided at the
10-cent table when she was a small girl.
But the merchant has only begun to
understand why his business was always
dull at Christmas. At first he made no
attempt to compete in the sale of fancy
work, and the only place to buy such
things has always been the Church
bazaar. This year, however, legitimate
dry goods Is hardly to be seen, and
counters are filled with all sorts of
handkerchief cases, penwipers and such
like articles the purchase of which is
/ likely to preclude the possibility OF buy
| ing the things one needs and should
buy a such places
| The only kind of wearing apparel
that seems to be selling is that which Is
decked out in holiday form to be used
as Christmas presents. Furs always
! play an important part in this role.
I They are sufficiently rich and elegant
to be appropriate gifts from those who
can afford them. Indeed, 1 have seen
some fur garments which suggested
one of the most economical of pres
ents-say from one sister to another.
This is, of course, supposing that there
! is a strip or two Of fur belonging to the
family which is available for use in
! the way l am about to suggest. The
idea is taken from a collarette which
was exhibited in one Of the Broadway
windows. The fur was chinchilla, and
it formed very limited Medici collar
with two tabs hanging eight or ten
inches below the chin. Inside the fur
collar was another consisting Of cerise
velvet slashed all around in square
scallops with a fiounce Of yellow lace
between it and the fur and falling
slightly over the edge. More Of the yell
low lace was gathered around the tabs,

than three, and half-dozen Is not too
many, because the average woman has
several wells. 1t would be rather anus
ing to do them up in a candy box when
giving them, so as to complete the illu-
sion.
PADDED DRESS HANGERS.
A padded and perfumed dress-hanger
marked S1.25 is expensive at that price.
but it would not take over half hour
to duplicate the article for quarter
the price of the bare wire hanger with
it's projections for shoulders and sleeves
and it's hook One needs couple Of
pieces of pretty silk from the piece bag
to stuff with cotton and sachet powder
for the pads that are to so over the
wire shoulder pieces, and the result is
useful, sweet-smelling, and sufficiently
ornamental.
PHOTOGRAPH HOLDERS.
1t is impossible to get through a siege
of present-giving without making some
new sort of a photograph holder. The
latest thing in this fruitless form of
amusement is to construct a string of
four cards, one each for the different
spots on playing cards, all covered with
The herald., 1897-12-21

and in the back below the collar were
some Dleatings of cerise velvet veiled
with yellow lace. The fur was not over
three inches wide in any one place and
there was hardly whole yard of 1t in
the collarette. BY careful piecing, one
could make a very respectable wrap
for the neck for less than five dollars,
even supposing one had to buy both
fur and velvet Chinchilla fur, suffi-
GENTLY wide, can be bought for three
dollars a yard, and other furs quite as
pretty for such a collarette sell for
less. The combination of cerise and
grey, generally is great favorite with
the ultra-fashionable. A very hand
some grey cloth Jacket, elaborately en-
broidered was considered correctly fin
ished and very Frenchy with it's cerse
velvet collar of the Medici flare.
A coat collar, as may be gathered
from the preceding description, need
not be of the same material as the
coat proper. One of the most elaborate
wraps / have seen is what might be
called blouse Newmarket The entire
wrap consists of the finest of Persian
unborn lamb. The upper portion is
pouched in front, and is also double
the buttons are set with large, imita-
tion amethysts-uncut, Of course. 1t is
the collar, however, which I wish to
emphasize as an extremely convenient
arrangement for almost any kind Of
wrap. For it is merely pleated ruff
Of amethyst hued taffeta which stands
out like any Medici collar and gives
quite as good an effect. The ruff was
double, one frill being slightly wider
than the other, and both were bound
with velvet in deeper hue. Last year 3
coat would lend itself to such treat
ment, very easily, and be made to serve
nicely for ones second best wrap.
/ Another device in the way Of re-mak-
ing old collarettes is one which has
actually been employed by young
woman who is at once ingenious and
economical. Last summer, she had a
brand new, black wool grenadine suit
made over green silk, and a pleated
chiffon cape to match. The wool grena-
d. {, looks and is sufficiently warm for
winter dress. but Of course the chif-
fon cape would be little gauzy for
cold weather. The present fashion OF

Mumming in England.

Mumming was abolished in England
by an edict Of Henry VIII, in which
a heavy fine and three months I'M
prisonment were imposed on all per-
sons who went about the streets IN
masks or extravagant attire. The rea-
son for this edict, was the fact that
a plot to murder the king had been
discovered, the conspirators intending
to take advantage of the Christmas
season, disguise themselves as num-
mers, and under pretense Of a desire
to entertain the king with their songs
and dances to penetrate to the court
and fall upon him in the midst of the
sport The plot was divulged, many
arrests We're made, and the edict fol-
lowed to prevent the recurrence of such
q scheme.
The herald., 1897-12-21

putting lace and fur together indiscrim-
inately came to her aid, and with the
ten dollars which she had saved to-
wards the purchase of a winter gown
she bought enough Persian lamb to
form yoke and an outer layer for the
Medici collar. The inner layer, next the
face. was green velvet. Upon this
yoke she hung the body of the cape
made partly of the wool grenadine-
with its flounces of green silk and chif-
fon exactly as they were last summer.
She is now waiting for Christmas to
bring her the Persian lamb mum which
would naturally go with 1t, for the
green feather and aigrettes have al
ready been transferred from the lace
hat of last summer to the velvet one
of the present season-adding only
some folds Of new chiffon and an edge
of fluted mousseline around the brim
Fur edges are so plentiful that one
hardly remembers to mention them in
the description of dress.
A skating costume is never complete
without Its fur edges around neck and
sleeves and the bottom OF the skirt.
An artist will hardly consent to draw
a picture of a girl on skates without
the conventional band of fur to form
the wavy lines that swirl out past her
ankles-and he Is right. For whatever
may be said in favor Of the plain skirt
for ordinary occasions, the one with an
edge around the bottom is far more
graceful for any sort Of rythmic or
swaying movement such as that OF
either dancing or skating.
One of the prettiest skating costumes
I have seen is made of a golden brown
cloth trimmed with mink. The waist
is Of fancy material figured in . scroll
pattern. 1t Is tight fitting and standa
high around the face with it's fur-edged
collar At the shoulders Is set wide
brown cape which may be drawn
around the arms or allowed to fly back
in graceful lines as the skater skims
over the ice. There are practical peo-
pie who will say that the cape Is en-.
tirely out Of place for skater on ac-
count of the surface which 1t offers tc
the wind, but what does a pretty gir
care for that when she is conscious
that she is making graceful picture OF
the pond, and when she knows that the
moment she grows tired there are 9
score Of practical admirers unhampered
by furbelows who would be eager tt
pull her against the wind with all hel
sails set. ANNIE LAURIE WOODS.
