White fox and ermine are not popu-
lar furs in this country, though
abroad they are in great demand for
large wraps or pelisses of fur. One
would think that for ] th%ater cloak
in winter time such a Pelisse would
be charming. AS it is. Russian and
Polish ladies have. with the Chinese,
almost a monopoly of these handsome
garments. "All-fur" peEsses of fox
or marten are the very things for
sleighing in. and these. with an
ermine cap. make a pretty. warm and
most attractive costume for everyday
driving in the SNOW.
Ermine never seems to attract in
England. 1t is reserved for little
children and very old ladies. Tt is
quite plentiful. as the little ermines
are only stoats turned white in the
winter, but. as they are Siberian and
Canadian stoats. they have closer I'M
der fur than the English breed. Some
years ago some wealthy fur dealers
made an arrangement with some
leading customers for a great coup in
ermine fur. The furriers bought UP
the ermine. and the customers agreed
to design dresses TO suit it and to
START the fashion. But. for once in =
way, this combine" was a complete
failure. People do not long for

woven fabrics, or even in the designs

REUNION
Is Hardly Likely Among the ReVo-
Iutiondry Daughters

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-Nearly
every state and territory in the Union
was represented by the delegates who
were assembled in the parlors of the
hotel Stratford this morning at the
opening of the annual meeting of the
general society of the Daughters of the
Revolution.
After prayer had been offered by the
Rev. Joshua L. Marshall the assembly
wss called to order by the rational pre-
sident, Mrs. Henry Sanger Snow of
New York.
The reports of the national officers
showed that the membership of the
society has been largely increased
since the last national gathering.
The convention took recess until
this evening. It is difficult to predict
what action the gathering will take
with regard to the efforts now being
made to bring about q reunion of the
societies of the Daughters of the Rev
olution and the Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution owing to the differ
ence of opinion which appears to exist
among the delegates.

down one day to make a complaint. 1t
was my pleasure to step out on the

reply: Tell your admiral those ships

be bought at a half a dollar a yard

the officer that anybody could fly q
German flag and that whole Spanish
fleet might come upon him with Ger
man flags up.
"Then he drew back and stroked his
mustsche. He has habit of stroking

said, "Tell your admiral I'm block
