Furriers put sealskins at the head of
their lists, with Persian lamb next
This means that from S75 to 1925 is
about the sum to be expended by those
who regard fur as a winter necessity.
For that can be secured either seal or
black Persian, Mcire Persian, Hudson
Bay sable and Russian sable are high
err. Silver fox, chiefly made up in boa
and muff sets, costs as much as whole
coat of some of the inexpensive furs.
Ermine collars and muffs are expen-
sive and fashionable. Genuine chin
chilla, even in the less desirable mark
ings, Is expensive. Mink is the best
choice for warmth with reasonable
prices. Badly dyed pussy-cat can be
had at almost nothing and Is not worth
that. 1t Is Offered under many names,
too SO the wise purchaser of furs goes
to reliable shop.
A veil is not worn with an outing hat
unless it Is heavy sewing silk or a
chiffon drop. The outing hat implies a
freedom and ease not compatible with
the carefully adjusted dotted or net
veil. Women whose complexion and hair
can stand it to omit the veil with all
tailored hats. Small mesh, fine texture
and tiny dots are the rule when a veil
is worn, Blue or green chiffon Is made
into drop wells, as change from the
brown so restful to the eyes and so
much used recently, White chiffon is
still used, but seems suitable only for
summer. Wash blond In white with
lace edge Is offered, but careful dress
ers do not wear it. Real lace, black
made wells are sometimes worn, but 1t
seems pity to use real lace that way.

very careful to trim away any faded
pieces.
y few drops of sulphate of ammonia
must then be put in each vase every
alternate day, and will contain all the
properties Of good manure for keeping
the blossoms alive.
AT night put the blossoms away in a
cool, dark place; it is not good, either
for the flowers or the household, that
they should remain In the living room.
To revive flowers put them into warm
salt water, to which has been added,
a few drops Of sulphate of ammonia.
To keep a spray of arranged flowers
fresh place them on damp cotton under
a basin; this keeps the air always
moist and preserves their freshness. 1t
is especially good for maidenhair fern.

Here is a method by which flowers
can be made to last and look well af-

them thus within the reach of even
the poorest lover of flowers.
Every night they should be taken
out of the vases and the stalks should

Have ready basin of strong soap

Be careful that the water touches only
the stalks, as it would fade the deli

certain amount of nourishment.
Rinse the stalks the next morning in
running water, ad as each bloom is
ready to be placed in the vase of
fresh water snip off the smallest posi-

shows that the United States in 1895

iron ore, pig iron and steel, and is Sec

ed are enormous, all the leading nations
having greatly increased their output

1898 the United States produced 1925
1863 tons, of coal 1876, 405953 tons of pig

Hard cue with a square tip instead of a
round one, Is an innovation that may
shortly be put to a practical test A
well known amateur of Philadelphia,
who is Of an experimental and inven-
tive turn Of mind, conceived the idea,
and had special cue made with a
square tip. He says it answers every
purpose to which the ordinary cue can
be put, in addition to which it has a
number of advantages over the round
tip. For one thing, 1t is impossible to
make miscue The full surface of the
cue strikes the ball and gives it more
purchase. The point of contact between
the rounded tip and the ball is, per-
haps, one-tenth less than that of the
square tip and the ball, and where
tEnglish' is used the latter tip assures
b much greater control. The inventor
Of the square tip has applied for a pat
