rather severe and tight-fitting as far
down as the elbow, but from thence
widen out into large puffs. The bot
tom of each sleeve is adorned with
small turn back flap. faced with the
embroidered satin.
A mink coat is treated in the same
fashion, except that the facings are
of white suede leather, appliqued with
a leaf design in tan suede, and the
belt is of the same.
Since moleskin has become fashion
able, it has so vastly increased in price
that limitations and substitutes are al
ready flooding the market, and some
of them are most clever.
Since fur is so much used in mill
linery, enterprising dealers are show
ing fur sets, which consist of toque,
pelerine stole, and great fiat muff An
attractive set of this description is of
moleskin. The stole ends reach below
the knees and widen out into pointed
ends. These are trimmed with orna-
ments of silk braid with cord and ball
pendants. The same trimming APP
pears as on the muff, the ornaments
being Joined by draped silk cord, in
military effect.
Very few of the new sets are in
squirrel, but after the surfeit that the
world of women had of it last year,
this will cause small regret. Mink,
marten, sable and moleskin are all cor
rect, either for separate fur pieces or
wraps or for dress trimmings. Fur
trimmings will be largely used on
both street and house dresses. Mole
skin is proving effective when COM
bined with velvet.
Another fur which has a partial re-
Vival is monkey. 1t is used for jackets
trimmed with ermine or other con-
trasting fur. The stoles, with muffs
to match, are very pretty in monkey.
For many seasons white lambs wool
has been delegated to infants wear.
The dainty little collar and muff sets
were much admired on the four-year-
old toddlers, but modistes are just
awakening to the idea that lambs wool
may be quite as dainty for wear by
the grown-ups. The craze for white
has started the notion. Now effective
of this snowy fur, contrast being given
soft-finished cloth.
A chic fur evening wrap is of white
lambs wool, with strappings, and edg-
ings of pale blue cloth. There is a
cape collar with stole ends of the fur,
but the small collar overlapping this
is of the blue cloth, and so are the
puffed undersleeves. The carriage
shoes for wear with this wrap are
particularly dainty. They are of blue
satin, edged with the lambs wool.
The big bag muffs which Dame
fashion affects this season are partic-
ularly pretty on the lambs wool. So
are the short collarettes. They are

more than ever calculated to do dam
age under the mistletoe. For one
thing, unless fashioned for a dance or
damsel high in fortune, a delicate SIM
plicity marks the best models, and
everywhere white is queen over color.
With these already conquering quail
titles Christmas tokens now and then
come in for ornament-holly and mis-
tletoe in garland trimmings, corsage
knots and even head wreaths. Tulle,
the old-fashioned illusion" is in
again, and it is again sometimes COM
bined with moss rosebuds, as in the
days when women's loneliness turned
the brain OF man and sometimes ruled
politics. So since fashion now wills
that woman shall once more be soft
and charming, a toast to Christmas
dance frocks! And, as in the good
old times, a crack on the head for any
varlet who dares not lift his cup.
To come down to less high-fiow
data, yards and yards and yards of
stun are needed for the new dance
gowns; that is, for their skirts and
sleeves, and If they are made of d.
sphanous materials that require un-
der-building.
One of the most adorable tulle even
ing frocks seen was in raw edged bill
lows of shaded rose. Ropes of small
satin rosebuds, likewise in shaded
pinks, was the trimming. These were
Topped in triple garland on the skirt
and bordered the very low satin bod
fee. The merest wisps of tulle topped
by loop Of the buds, formed excuse
for sleeves, which dropped on the bare
arm some distance below the Shout
der.
Another delightful gown with flower
garniture showed the pompadour in
fiuence in it's color scheme and ar
rangement of trimming. Made OF a
silk spotted net of exceeding deli
cacy, wreaths of pink roses interviewer
with pale blue velvet ribbon composed
its deckings.
These colored velvet ribbons. on
white, are extensively used for even
ing gowns. Frequently combined with
point d'esprit, a fad is to put them
on in UP and down strips with loop
ends. In this way skirt hip Jokes and
effective sleeve and bodice trimmings
are made, but when the velvet is used
In encirclling rows, it is always in diff
ferent widths.
The large quantity OF material need
ed is due to the fact that dancing
skirts are fuller and longer than for
merly. But a loop of trimming OF
some sort on the skirt, through which
the arm is slipped. lifts the train for
the actual dance: and, of course, seat

One of the largest fur importers in
this country sat at his desk last Au-
gust when the thermometer was in the
nineties, and explained why he could
not take time for a vacation.
II am too busy bringing in furs,"
he explained, land they are mostly
for the holiday trade"
The Christmas fur trade has become
the largest factor in the seasons SELL
ing. Indeed. it is safe to predict that
the sun of Dec. rs will shine
upon more women made happy by
course of its long and varied expert
ence. This is so because the world of
mankind has discovered that no more
acceptable gift for wife or sweetheart
can be bought. From Maine to Louis

But there are furs and furs. Dame
fashion is never so capricious as in
the realm of furs. The favorite of
last season is ruthlessly cast aside.
This winter she has a new one. 1t
Is moleskin. 1t is soft and velvety,
and makes a good background for the
lace applique and colored passemen-
teries which are adjoining the fur coats
and jackets-a whim of fashion that
seems somewhat barbaric, but is meet
ing with high favor, nevertheless.
Buttons in gilt or enamel, in bizarre
designs, are being used extensively
on the fur jacket. An elegant little
moleskin jacket is in blouse shape,
drawn into a tight-fitting belt. 1t has

shoulders and slashed up in points.
These points are turned back to show

in many different shades. Light and
dark moleskin are combined effectively
in one piece. A pretty little collar, or
pelerine, has broad stole ends, which
come to the waist line. Both collar
and stole ends are formed of a strip
of light-colored moleskin, bordered by
a darker shade. The same plan is
followed with the muff. though on 1t
the stripes run crosswise.
Some of the fur pelerines have very
narrow stole ends. These are intend
ed to be crossed over the breast in
quaint fashion. They are held in place
by a metal clasp or an ornament OF
soutache braid. The long stole ends
are usually trimmed with similar orna-
ments. They give a rich effect.

GREAT STRIKE OFF.

Lowell, Mass, June 23.-The textile
council has declared the great
strike in the Lowell textile mills
at an end. Every union affiliated with
the council was represented, and the
vote was unanimous. Mill spinners
and loom fxers were included in this
vote, despite statements that they
would oppose a return to work.
When asked for statements, Presi-
dent Conroy said:

communication as quite a'compli- ment. MT. Ayers is taking un- usual interest in this section on account of the exhibit of fruit made there last year. He does not often take his pen in hand to write special communication to a country newspaper. Did he at tempt to cover the entire country represented in the fruit collections at that great fair in this way he would indeed be a busy man, and we dare say he would find time for but little else for himself and a corpse of stenographers. Mr. Ayers has simply been deeply impressed by what he has seen of our products and is anxious to knew more of this country, which has heretofore been practically isolated. Although the apple crop is going to be exceedingly light, we believe that a creditable ii not prize winning exhibit of apples could be made at St. Louis this fall. Let us collect the best exhibit possible.
