The latest skirt is certainly mistake. As
for the newest sleeves, they are tight also,
with neither puff nor epaulette, though
many still continue to wear one or the other.
So tight are some of these very latest sleeves
that they are buttoned on the outside arm

pass through. AS for evening sleeves, they
are conspicuous by their absence, unless for
demi-toilets, when it is plain elbow sleeve

ROYALTY AND DoMESTICITY
Princesses and Other Titled Women
Who Can Sew and Cook

1t is great mistake to suppose that to be
domestic is of necessity bourgeois charac-
teristic. A writer in Truth points out that
all OF Queen Victoria's daughters were
taught to cook and sew and make themselves
useful. The Princess of Wales knew all
about scientific dresscutting and another
princess was not long ago initiated into all
the mysteries of the professional hairdress-
er's art. ''There is no better Judge of
needlework in the kingdom than Princess
Christian" says the writer referred to-.
Many of the designs used in the Royal
School of Art Needlework are from the
clever pencil of Princess Louise, Marchion-
ess of Lorne. Princess Alice, mother of the
present empress of Russia, used to cut out
her childrens clothes and trim their hats in
the far-back days when she was grand duch-
ess of Hesse and was surrounded by the
little ones. Princess Henry Of Battenberg
is skillful embroiderer, besides being an
artist and musician. Domesticity has not
proved bar to culture in the case Of any
of these highly placed women. The En-
press Frederick of Germany is one of the
most intellectual and cultured women in the
world, but she is also an adept in the domes-
tic arts. She is a sculptress, and can clev-

ing a dotted veil under one of chiffon are
simply running their eyesight. Doctors say
that the wearing of wells, dotted ones in
particular, is ruinous to the eyesight, and
also that oculists owe a large part of their
incomes to this feminine habit.
If wells must be worn, the bow at the back
must be avoided and the ends drawn into
the smallest kind of knot and tucked out
of sight.

To Clean Jewelry

Gold jewelry may be cleaned by washing
it in lather of warm soapsuds to which a
few drops of sal volatile have been added.
This imparts brilliance, and the articles
should then be dried with a soft cloth and
rubbed with chamois leather
Silver jewelry should also be washed in
a little warm, soapy water. 1t may then
be polished with a very little Of the best
whiting or hartshorn powder and finished
off with soft leather. Maltese silver or
naments of tilagree work do not require a
powder to be used; they should be brushed
with small brush and soapy water, dried
carefully and rubbed with soft leather.
After gold jewelry has been cleaned it
should be placed in bag of lockwood saw.

and rub the ornaments thoroughly in the

skins that are used the more the mink


family increases.
Chinchilla is quite different and records
startling advance in price over its un
known days. 1t averages about SIS skin
| today; in former times "a would have been
considered an exorbitant rate. A muff to-
day sells at from $75 to SlOO, while oul
grandmother would have been thought crazy
to buy one at any price.
The fur that is probably best known to-
day was least seen fifty years ago. That
is the sealskin. Indeed, the introduction
of seal took place about 1870. 1t was two OF
three years before its worth was recog
nized, but from that time it has ALWAYS
held place by itself as garment fur and
is ever in demand by conservative BUYERS
1t is the staple fur of the trade.
In the early days the skins came from
the Shetland islands and the South seas
In a few years the seals migrated to Alas
kan waters and today the Shetland seal is
extinct. So greatly has the catch decreased
that while in 1890 it numbered about 1OO,-
COO, this year it was only $4,000. and this
together with the continued demand, is ad
vancing the cost. Today coat costs from
$3.50 to $500 that in the '70s could have been
bought for $3.50.
The seal was then dyed a golden brown
and the curling OF the skins was so inferior
to the process used today that the fur was
very perishable. Today, however, while the
modern skins are not nearly so fine in tex
ture, by the modern process they are made
far more beautiful and more lasting than
formerly. At its best, however, seal will
not last over eight years; dyed otter can be
reckoned on for twice the time. 1t is curl
Gus fact that while England only can dye
and cure highgrade seal, America takes the
lead in dyeing otter and makes superior
skin of it.

FACTS ABOUT FURS
Striking fluctuations in Fashions
and Prices

Both fashions and prices in furs fuctuate
curiously. Certain skins show records of
remarkable ups and downs, one decade
fetching great values and being cherished
by women, and then, seemingly without
| rhyme or reason, absolutely sinking out of
| sight in the market. Singularly enough, the
list of furs high in favor today is almost
identical with the one approved by our
grandmothers fifty years ago, with the ad-
dition of chinchilla, stone marten and seal
skin.
Russian sable, owing to its own great
beauty and rarity, is more highly priced
and better known every year. There are
several grades, but the costliest includes a
few exquisite skins occasionally found op-
poste Sitka. These skins are rare, very
dark-almost black-in color and sell for
$500 to $3.50 each. They, however, are the
fancy skins of the market, the kohinoors
among furs. Dealers predict that Russian
sable will continue to know steady ad-
vance in value and that it has by no means
reached it's highwater price mark.
Unlike the Russian skin, Hudson Bay
sable is the victim of fashions fluctuations
From 1874 to 1894 it was in little demand,
while at present the cost has been raised
to exceed a very little that of 1850. 1t is
now second to Russian sable alone. The
average muff sells for about $75; fifty years
ago it would have cost $65, and five years
ago $25.
The golden fitch of our grandmother's
time, beautiful fur brought over from
Germany, has been wholly superseded by
stone marten, its first cousin, though un-
known the first half of the century. 1t
used chiefly to be made into sets, the long
round boa and muff. The average quality
of fitch muff sold for $40 The stone marten
of today is less costly. This season it will
be the most popular fur for young women
and girls. Even five years ago these skins
were rarely seen and their market value
is wholly dependent upon the demand Gre
ated by fashion.
Mink is little prophet who has known
much honor in his own country. 1t was at
the top rung of the fur ladder half CEN
tury ago, and now comes b .ck to us shorn
Of dollars but not of glory.e 1t shared the
fate of the Hudson bay sable, inasmuch as
its period of oblivion was between 1875 and
1895, but with the revival of last season
and this year especially, it will lead as
favorite Despite the demand this season
the price shows surprising drop over 1850.
