HIS COUNT WAS CORRECT.

Until recently every person who crossed
a certain bridge over the Siene in Paris
had to pay a small toll. and an old PEN
sioner was stationed at the entrance to
the bridge to collect the money. Constant
objections were raised on the toll. and all
possible tricks were resorted to in order
to avoid payment.
One afternoon a band of 10 students
came up to the bridge; but before they
started to go over a man drew neal and
said:
you walk across, and I'll Sc what I
a do about getting you through free1
The little company walked along together
until they reached the pensioners box.

But I don't know them. S o what does it

He then laid down his coin, and

ornate design. The Cleopatra buckles
of dull gold and turquoise are for the
minute the most popular.
Ribbon belts are much used with their
jewelled buckles. One of the prettiest
of these consists of very narrow ribbons.
not more than an inc wide, three or

ends of the ribbon about the collar on the
same side as the belt, bring the ends
of the ribbon down to the waist and let
the loose ends pass under the belt and
fall with the ribbon of the belt bow.
The China silk belt is useful only for
the house. 1t is passed about the waist

left side. Or, if preferred, it may be tied

For house costumes there are numerous
styles in belts, but one OF the prettiest

are fringed heavily and hang almost to
the bottom OF the dress.

animal was made OF amber and black
enamel, and the teeth were tiny chip
diamonds: its tail was curved and its
whole position expressed anger.
Or course the tiger creation was very
expensive but the less expensive pieces
in hat pins are pretty and dainty.
The bears head, with the pointed nose
of black enamel and eyes of rubies. is
unique. The wolf. the bird, and in fact
all the animals we have, are represented

ends reaching quite to the waist line.
All kinds of fur are used for trimmings
and in all ways. ne of the newest tail
or made gowns has the seams strapped
with fur. The s%traIpings are less than
hall an inch wide and are stitched SO as
to hold the fur bat. These strarpings
trim the bodice. the skirt and also the
long princess coat which is to be worn
later.
The eccentric style is also seen in fur
trimmings. bands are laid fiat upon
the skirt with the top Of the band notch
ed to make a fancy trimming. Scroll
work Of fur is applied to the skirt and
large fur designs are put on in panel
form to trim the side of the skirt.
The return of the Russian blouse in

year of animal jewelry: and, strange to
say, the old fashioned heavy gold Of u
grandmother's time is coming back, and
we see the heavy lockets suspended from
the massive chain.
The bracelet of the coming years will
be a band about a quarter OF an Inch

Gil some kin will stud it; dark rubies
and earnets will be used mostly for this

the gold.
THE Wells OF WINTER.
In the gauzy goods called wells there
are new patterns.
The mesh of the winters veil will not
be either extremely large or small, but
just a comfortable size.
The chiffon veil with black dots of
medium size, net the extravagantly
large dots, ibordered with a design in
dots, will be used much.
The cream lace veil, with an appliqued
point of leaves. also in scroll patterns,
will be tied, or pinned loosely about the
hat, the ends free to blow out in the
wind.
There are elaborate wells in black net:
one of these is the design of a spider

best possible impression behind her.
People like to feel that they are appre-
ciated.
/. Flattery, not bare-faced flattery, but
just the least bit, which. though felt, is
hardly recognizable. and which a fas-
chatting woman knows so we'll how to
exercise. has a most wonderful effect,
notably, of course, on the opposite sex,
but also on her own. 1t is only natural
for every woman to be proud of the
knowledge that she is loved and appre-
ciated by her own sex.
The really fascinating woman-the
Woman whose powers of fascination re-
main with her till the day OF her death
lis the woman who is charming to rich
and poor, old and young alike. She Is as
fascinating when alone with her own
people as she is when in the company of
her lover, or in the presence OF strangers.
The power Of fascination has grown
with her growth until it has become
part of herself. she lives in an atmos-
phere of love, and she is only too glad
to give from the abundance of love and
good will hat is hers.
She finds out from a man what style

1Erneath. For plump figures tiais fur
Elton is becoming: and, if nicely shaped
around the waist line. tends to diminish
the size of the figure considerably.
They make delightful combination
Jackets, half cloth and half of fur. One of
these shows a vest of fur set under a coat
of cloth. The coat has broad laoels that
turn sharply back disclosing the vest of
fur. The vest is cut into a poin that
terminates at the waist line.
FUR TRIMMINGS.
Fur cuffs are worn with the little cloth
and fur coats. Many of these are large
diaring cuffs that turn back from the
hand like a RCbespierre. One of the most
novel of the fur cuffs was placed at the
elbow where it hared backward toward
THE shoulder. Below the cuff of fur was
"a bishop sleeve. of cloth ending with an
other tlaring cuff at the wrist.
Little basques of fur are to be placed
upon the cloth coats. They are five o..
six inches deep and are set around the
waist line, SO as to fit tightly in at the
belt. Below the belt the fur flares TO give
IN very pretty DdSuue elect. On the
same Jacket there are fiat fur cufrs and a
turnover collar OF fur.
Nearly all the fur collars are very
tai. Some of them are quite up around
the hat and all of them protect the
ears. There is one, rather newer thar
the others, which is called a Russian col
Oar. 1t is tall and is lined SO that 1t be-
comes very thick. If allowed to stand
the collar would hide the hat, but it is
turned over to make a large round rolling
collar of fur. When turned over it is
tall enough to protect the ears.
Ermine is fashionable again, not in
the tiny ways of last season, but in
larger garments. The Duchess of Marl-
borough has a new set OF erm:ne, rattle
an unusual thing in Families where furs
are heirlooms; and the Princess of Pless
the prettiest woman in England, has pur-
chased some lovely pieces of ermine. The
princess is a sister-in-law of Mrs. West
the younger" and before her marriage
was Miss Cornwallis-West.
The ermine sets which both of these
ladies have purchased include a deep col.
,arette OF ermine. The collar portion il
