which finish with four long sable tails.
The same tails decorate the shoulders and
back and are attached in close proximity.
The large assortment of long fur coats is
the GROWING glory Of the furrier's art this
season. Most Of them are made in Empire
form and enormous revers and flaring coli
lars are the invariable adjuncts.
Among the richest and most elegant OF
this variety is an Empire coat from the
Maison willie de Bombay" which has be-
come famous for its exclusive and exquisite
styles. The model in question is composed
entirely OF sable backs arranged so as 10
give a stylish effect, and is finished with
a serpentine fare in which the sable backs
run horizontally while they form vertical
lines above. The garment has yoke Of
plain sable and the connecting line is con-
cealed under belt of garnet velvet rib
bon, which encircles the figure and ends In
large bows over the bust. The plain sable
sleeves are slightly fulled at the shoulder.
and the huge collar of the same fur is
yelled with rich Irish guipure over garnet
velvet The entire coat is lined with gar
net velvet.
There is dainty toque to match. made
Of sable and garnet velvet, and with the
fur brim bent into these becoming curves,
which are now so fashionable. The sole
trimming consists of mauve garnet velvet
ribbon, wired and twisted into numerous
indications. The toque Is worn well back
on the head and shows the fluffy hairdress
which is justly and rapidly superseding the
stiff pompadour, as 1t proves far more be-
coming. FELIX FOURNERY.

PARIS, Dec. 29.-In spite of the uni
verssl wall that rich furs were scare and
inaccessible tc any but inexbausible purses,
the fur trade is lourishing. Never were
the models more elegant or the comtiua-
tions more distingue. Seslskins are indeed
on the wane-thanks to the brutal avarice
OF the hunters whose wholesale slaughter
ings of seals has well-nigh ended in their
total determination. and the exclusion Of
their beautiful skins as staple article Of
the fur market.
With the unavallability OF sealskin, the
short-haired furs have had to abdicate
somewhat in favor OF the long haired or
fluffy varieties-exceptlng perhaps, the
braadtails. which are still very fashionable.
though their extreme fragility makes the
careful buyer somewhat wary OF their pur-
chase.
They combine particularly we'll with

The modern girl has the advantage OF
the reproductions OF those fans OF ancient
days. together with the latest innovations
and newest materials that jewelers. have
brought to light since then. Every woman
realizes their gracefulness, and is content
to squander her golden pin money in the
purchase of a thing she knows will bring
her swift return.
The closing fan seems 10 prevail In style,
says the philadelphia Inquirer" Real
point lace mounted on pearl sticks are
among the costliest ones. The Empire and
Louis XIV patterns are perhaps the most
popular. Many of the expensive ones are
hand decorated. The rage for spangles has
brought about large variety OF spangled
fans, and with charming effect.
GsuZe, silk, and boiling cloth are used
for steel. gold, and silver spsngles, and the
sticks are in pearl, tortoise shell, and am
Der. The proper length for the ultra fash
ionable fan is from TO 10 inches.
A few exquisitely painted satin fans have
been picked up recently in Cuba, among
the family beirlooms which are being sold
by people impoverished by the war. One of
these fans was purchased by New York
woman for SO. 1t was well worth $50 A

WHEN ROYALTY WRITES.
Queen Victoria Uses Several yaric
ties of Note Paper


Until quite recently Queen Victoria had
an enormous private correspondence. She
kept most exact letter book, and her own
children, grandchildren, and other relatives
were regularly written to, and their replies
were greeted with pleasure and treasured.
Not only did the Queen write long and in
teresting letters TO her numerous CORE
spondents, but she addressed the envelopes
b. self in the most courteous and fullest
manner. Now, however, Her Majesty uses
the telegraph more than her pen, and she
never fails to Immediately despatch a few
words OF sympathy TO those who are in
grief or OF congratulation on account OF
success.
Her Majesty has a great taste In note
paper, and uses several kinds. says the
buffalo Times" Her favorite when at
Balmoral is of pale lavender shade, with
a broad black edge, while on the top is an
exquisite engraving of roe deer and fawns
among rocks and dwarf trees, with Bal
moral" in plain letters beneath. Some
times she uses white paper with mourn
ing border, and with a view of Balmoral
castle stamped in relief in black, or the
royal cipher 'V. X. and L." with a crown.
All the princesses are fond OF elab
crate monographs and emblazonments on
their note paper. Princess Louise turns
her double LIS" In numerous devices,
while Princess Beatrice used to be ex-
tremely fond Of a large bumblebee, with
her coronet above. and Princess Christian
also has :. fancy for having the initials
of her name curiously blended.
In replying to Her Majesty. her relatives.
as a rule. put their autographs in the cor
ner. For instance. one letter addressed
ITO the Queen. BalmOral Aberdeen has
Wales in the corner. while another ad-
dressed simply "To the Queen, Balmoral,"
is marked Cambridge" A letter from the
Duke of Sake Coburg GOtha addressed ITO
Her Majesty the Queen, BalmOral," has as
its superscription the letter "a" and from
the king of the Belgians comes letter "A
Sa Majestic Refine de la Grande Bretagne,
Balmoral,' this bearing the signature
"Leopold"
