SHE II
One woman's Reason for Ever Advertising
Her Flat 10 Rent.

Flat hunting sometimes leads one into
curious places and reveals some curious
phases Of life,' said a man who had been
through the experience. But | never
encountered anything else quite so peculiar
as the woman who used 10 advertise her
apartment to rent for the sake of society.
Il did not suspect at first that her adver-
tisement was not genuine. She talked on
her first meeting with me as if she really
wanted TO rent the furnished apartment
she had advertised.
she talked much about the superior
quality of her china and glass and her
silver. l agreed to take her apartment
at the price she suggested. Then l left,
supposing that the matter had been
arranged.
The next day when I wept TO settle mat
tiers with her, she sent out a maid and said
that she had changed her mine and that the

is indeed a novelty to see entire coats OF
ermine, but all the ermine which has been
carefully treasured for years has come
to light again and 1t is used In every avail
liable manner.
The more beautiful and costly the furs
are the more generously they seem TO be
distributed by fashions decree this sea
lson The little matter OF expense does
not daunt the modern fashionable woman
at all.
Some very charming examples Of fur
trimmings are seen or the new costumes
which the first few cold days brought 20

is a blue velvet with three narrow bands
Of sable around the skirt. worn with a sable
|bolero rounding up in front over a vest
1of white moleskin spotted with brown
land fastened with handsome jewelled
buttons.
The little Jacket has short postilllon
ttails at the back, and sleeves which are
full at the wrist above the close-ftting
cuff Of moleskin.
A combination better suited 10 the aver
age purse is blue cloth, fur and silk in one
Of the many Persian designs. The shade
OF blue is a pastel tint, and the silk is used
in folds on the bodice and In part form
