Fur Trimmings for Winter.

Ermine Is put to many uses this year. There is nothing more charming when properly used and nothing more aggres- sive and garish when improperly worn. Ermine is a fur which is conspicuous and to use slang phrase. "a little of it goes a long way"
 The New York Times says: In a Per- sian lamb coat ermine is used. The sleeves of the coat are of a fanciful de- sign, with full undersleeve effect of the fur. and at the top of this, giving the ef- feet of finishing the upper sleeve, is a broad band formed of two narrow edges of sable and band of ermine between. Take 1t all in all. this sleeve is not com mendable. Persian lamb is pretty enough without this modest use of the ermine.
 Fur Is to be seen used in many ways this year, and in fine narrow bands trims many handsome gowns. The narrow bands are more serviceable in many ways for they are not too heavy for the house. while broad bands of fur are not suit able for anything but outdoor wear. The fur when used around the skirt is placed on the very edge. Sable is used with ex- cellent effect in this way. and Is one of the most serviceable of furs.
 Also bands of fur three or four inches wide around the lower edge of the skirt, around the sleeves and the collar, and on the lapels to the coat are to be seen.
 Upon a gray velvet gown chinchilla is used, and Is exquisite, but 1t Is delicate fur, and will never do for an economical woman While nothing Is more charming q when 1t is fresh, nothing is sooner drag gled and ugly when it is not and slight shower or a little hard water will ruin the finest piece of chinchilla- On this vel vet gown the fur is used around the low CT edge, and mingiing with chiffon plait- ings of the gray curls in and around the train in the prettiest way imaginable. There Is a deep collar to the frock. a | mass of embroideries and rosettes of the velvet, and this, too. is edged with the chinchilla and the turnback cuff of the velvet upper sleeve Is also edged with it.

Women and the Ballot.

In many respects southern women seem less afraid of being called radical than their eastern sisters. and 1t will not be surprising If the ballot should come to them long before it is yielded by the women of the central. eastern and New England states. That 1t will come is as certain as that the republic is to endure. It is impossible to doubt one without questioning the other, says a writer In Ainslee Magazine.
 The experience of Georgia women dur ing the past year Is such as to drive them pollward, wlllynilly. They had three pet measures which they advocated in their Legislature as ably as they could. and when it Is remembered that Rebecca Douglass Lowe, the gracious and accom- plished president of the General Fedora tion, lives in Atlanta, as does also Mrs. John K. Ottley. one of the most brilliant club women of the whole country, it is not to be supposed for an instant that influence did not have an opportunity to show its perfect work
 The bills were strictly humanitarian in cHdA dcter, except, poSSlDly, that 10 admit women to the state textile school. The other raised the age of consent Git is now ten years), and the third prohibited the employment of children under twelve years of age in the factories. All three bills were defeated.
 In Illinois the women passed a bill for the better accommodation of women stu dents at the State University and the col leges, and it was vetoed by the Governor.
 In Vermont the federation had a bill in- troduced asking that women be appointed on the boards of control of the asylums where women are confined. This unrea- sonable CD demand was slain forthwith
 If men wish to keep women out of the pool of politics they will do we'll to make haste and give them all they ask along these lines, for there is no other way to stay their advance.
 Already the small edge of the wedge has made it's way far into the oak of re- I sistance.

WORKING HARD
 ' FOR THE PIANO
Oceans of Coupons Arrive on
 Every Mail

The contestants for the Age-Hera1d's piano are determined that if interest and enthusiasm are needed in the race there shall not be lacking any of the clements of success. Coupons arrived 1uriously and fast yesterday. and nothing would better describe the manner in which the votes have poured in this week than to say there are Oceans of coupons
 The Age-Herald will, on Christmas day. give to the most popular school girl in the Birmingham District handsome piano made by Guild & Co. of Boston. This piano cost The Age-Herald 1850 and is a valuable and we1T-toned instrument.
 Every girl in every school in the Bir- mingham district which includes Besse- mer, Pratt City. Ensley. Woodlawn. Av- ondale East Lake. West End, Elyton. Smithfield and all other towns in Jefrer- son county is entitled to enter the con- test. Coupons as given below will be printed in every issue of The Age Herald. These coupons will be dated and must be voted within forty-eisht hours of date thereon or else they will not be counted in the contest. On each Sunday The Age Herald will print the standing of each contestant up to the preceding Friday.
 Votes not received within forty-eight hours after the date will positively not be counted, therefore all ballots must be sent in not later than the day following the publication of the paper in which the coupon appears.
 Coupons must be in the office on or be- fore 12 o'clock night on the day following the day of publication, or. must be post marked by that time.
 No extra papers will be sold at any time for the purpose of obtaining coupons therefrom, either to agents. news boys or individuals.
 This method will prevent any reserving of coupons to be voted at the last minute and will make the contest absolutely fair and just to all contestants.
 Only votes will be received which have been taken from papers bought for the legitimate purpose of obtaining the news.
 In order that there might not be any misunderstanding in regard to the piano contest, it Is well to state that no young lady is eligible to enter the contest unless she Is an active attendant upon some school in the Birmingham district. Girls who do not attend either a private or public school of some character or a school of music. of course cannot be awarded the prize The contest will be kept strictly in line with conditions print ed above.
