Though all the pastel shade in hand
some cloth dresses are the thing, there's
nothing that bears the hall mark of dis
tinetion so much as the dress of cream

colors going, the castor, wood brown or
cafe au laft way. And soft, exquisite
shades they are, these exquisite tintings
tina are merely suggestive of colors.
There's the shade which suggests tur-

A choice example is in old rose pastel,

been seen to eclipse the one with the

And this brings us to fur. Despite all
the sealskins that are owned and have
been altered, and the number being
bought outright, broadtail is the fur of
the winter. The dealers who sell to the
exclusive trade are selling 100 broadtails
to one sealskin. It is the craze the rage.
And facings, though fashionable, of err
mine and the rest, are but as drops in
the bucket. The rich woman, of course,
has sables also, but she's so in love with
the broadtail hat she wears it whenever
possible.
Cancels hair cloths, so soft and clinging
and neecy on the surface, are greatly in

made of them in old rose, gray and fawn

prettier than even Indian red; it suits the

According to an Italian scientist, there
is one thing in which women have the de-
cided advantage of men-if advantage"
it can be ealled-and that is the dreaming
of dreams. Whether men are less imagina-
tive or whether to take a prosaic view,
they eat more and sleep more soundly; or,
arguing by analogy, since imbeciles sell
