-Semething About Fur.

How little the majority of people
know about fur! The long. silver tipped
black lynx Is more in favor in Amer
lea than ina England, where white furs
for boas and tippets carry off the palm.
Many tails characterize the boa OF the
season. as well as the head of the ami
NAL, which points after a barbaric
fashion. Women who would fly before
the fur bearing animal We're il alive do
not hesitate to encircle their necks and
shoulders within its embrace. Russian
and Chinese sables so blended are con-
siderably cheaper and OF less value
than the Hudson bay and are distin-
guished by a lack Of the red tone, oc-
casionally displaying white hairs.

The beauty and freshness OF n veil

piece of broomstick makes an excellent
roller.
Cashmere stockings are now worn
with double feet. and to those who suf-
fer from cold feet this is a very great
boon They also do not wear into holes
nearly so quickly as the ordinary kinds
are so apt TO do-and darning is not at
all an agreeable practice.
Very charming chinchllla turbans
may be evolved from good bits OF fur
taken from collars and cuffs and muff
coverings pretty well worn. BY artful-
ly matching the scraps themselves
they have quite covered light buckram
shapes. and by using a trihe of lace
and small clusters OF flowers To hide
the conspicuous seams some admi-
rable effects have been produced.
