There are many cases in which
the end can be seen from the

It's so with uninsured property.
1t you continue to let your
buildings go uninsured, it's
only matter of time when the
headlines in the fire column of
your newspaper will read ::
"Big Fire, Buildings Entirely

Your property is not unlike
the other fellows. 1t is not fiji e
proof. 1t is not made of as

is no guarantee that you will
not have a fire before another

SOFA PILLOWS
OF DIVERS SKINS
A NEW FANCY

The woman who does not own a skin
sofa pillow has not acquired the latest
fad which was born of sorrow over
the death of a pet.
This pet was a calf, which had met
an untimely end, thereby awakening
much grief among the feminine men,
bers of the family. In the midst OF
their woe it suddenly occurred to one
of the girls that, inasmuch as stuff
fed calf would be rather out of place
in the household, the skin might be
utilized for some other purpose. That
was when the pillow idea presented it.
self.
The men scoffed at the proposition
and said that it was absurd, but they
had to admit that the glossy brown
skin, with it's beautifully marked white
spots, was too handsome to be buried
with the calf, so before the last sad
rites were performed the body of the
little Jersey was skinned.
In due time the skin was cured
trimmed into shape, and used to cover
an air cushion. 1t was made square,
with the exception of the corners
which were trimmed to represent ears
three at each corner, and tied with
strips of the calfskin in a bow knot:
When done the skin had the look OF
a delicate shade of panne velvet.
This novel method of preserving
the pet calfs skin suggested to some
one else an idea which resulted in an

venient and dainty receptacle for their
safe keeping becomes almost neces-
sity. This extremely pretty one is
practical as we'll as ornamental, and
can be made from a number of ma
terals. The peculiar and essential
feature is the arrangement of the rib
bons on the inside. These are four
in number, and each should be an
inch in width The ends of each piece
are attached to different sides of the
case; that is to say the two ribbons
that are crossed at the center are at
tached to the outer edge of the upper
section of the cover and to the inner
edge of the lower section, and the
ribbons that are placed straight in
exactly the opposite manner, or to the

inner edge of the upper section and
to the outer edge of the lower.
By this arrangement the case is
made to open at both sides, and the
simple act of closing and opening 1t
causes a veil, laid fiat on either side, to
be held fast beneath the ribbons,
which are transferable.
The outside of the case can be of
linen, silk, suede, or leather, decorated
with painting or needlework; or,
again, it may be of brocade or flow
cred silk and left without further
ornamentation In any case, the in
side should be padded and perfumed
and covered with some soft silk.
The foundation for the case is two
pieces of cardboard of equal size.

lacy details bases and ornamental

Sometimes a theater or opera get-up
is in such perfect taste that the EN-
trance of the wearer will be remarked
on all sides. One dark Spanish-looking
girl recently achieved this triumph
with a costume of comparative sim
plicity. The material of her gown
was painted net, against whose grayish
white background appeared the shad-
ows of leaves in autumnal colorings.
Inside the slightly cut-out neck Of the
bodice was a tiny CAMP of plain gath
cred net, which material also formed
large puffed undersleeves. The full
drifting skirt appeared to have three
deep tucks, and to be put over a silk
petticoat in a singular blue. This blue
showed openly in a wide folded girdle
and some bodice knots-a shade sub
lime with bronze and silver reflections,
and the ribbon itself having that tum-
bled look that all aristocratic ribbons
should have.

iOus dressers a well-known faiseuse

worn at the opera later on. The tint
of this is scarcely more than
pale mauve, and the laces
which incrust it and the arti-
fetal flowers and tulle which
are used upon the bodice are similarly
colored. Altogether this gown is
feat of exquisiteness, and it will be
completed by a necklace and comb in
mauve, sapphires and rose diamonds.
The shoes designed for most opera
toilettes in pale tints are in the same
hues, and some satin ones even show
