WHAT IS A FLAT?

How Ii Is DISTINGUISHED from
an Apartment.

Wont some one please enlighten me
as to the difference between fat and
an apartment" pIaintlvely inquired
woman who had just rIoved to the city
at an afternoon tea. Everybody was
willing to enlighten her, says the Chi
cago Tribune. ~ =
why, of course said one with an
experienced air; the fiat has set of
speaking tubes and whistles and bells
and things. Waen you want to get in
you ring the bell and the door clacks,
and you so in before the clacking stops.
At an apartment house there is hall
boy to let you in, and usually an ele-
vator and telephone besides"
mo, you're wrong" came from q
tired-looking little woman in corner.
Those are only mere surface differ
ences A fat and an apartment may
both have none or all of those things.
The only real, heartrending difference
is this: In fat. Il is not considered
a heinous crime to have children; in
an apartment it is. That's all. I've
been hunting vines and fig trees late
ly myself, and know. None Of the
fig trees | looked at would tolerate my
olive branches; guess they don't grow in
the same gardens any more outside OF
the Bible."

And he is only tiny bug.
The boil weevil is beetle with
huge probOscis, and came originally
from Mexico The extension Of cot
ton growing in the southern counties
of Texas made a bridge for him to cross
the Rio Crande. and he was first no.
ticed in Bee county, Tex, in 1894. The
agricultural department experts pro
posed to the Texas legislature to stop
growing cotton along the river for two
wears. and starve the assassin out. Who
is going to pay the planters for this
sacrifce?: asked the legislators.
Since then the beetle has travelled at
the rate of Is miles to the nOrthward,
and 25 miles to the eastward every
year. On Texas soil the weeyil has
thrived like the rabbit in Australia, for
the females lay 300 to 700 eggs a year.

There is no doubt that fashion has
changed tremendously, but although
these changes strike US forcibiy now,
they have been creeping in for some time
past, surely if slowly.
For instance, most Of US will remember
how. this time last year, the Partisan
couturieres tried to force the new Bur
gundy shade, popularity known as wine
color on the market But it never got
much further than a few leading ateliers
in Paris. Green and royal blue became
popular in its stead.
The pelerine has been gradually com
ing in for the last two years. and so has
the full skirt. Nowadays, the modistic
eye disIikes any sudden change, and in
novations have to creep in by degrees.
Fashion at the present moment is eX-
tremely pretty. but there are two exag-
7erations which ought to De avOided-One
is the sloping shoulder where it does not
suit. and the other is the very vOluminOus
sleeve.
Personally, think the extra fulness in
the skirt is becoming, and in many OF the
best models the hips are kept fairly plain
The fancy for rUchings, and particu-
Iarly those Of travelled silk, is return
10 the early Victorian period. They are
rather attractive and peculiarly quaint.
All sorts Of colored ruchings are used
as trimmings. and velvet, Of course,
reigns supreme for best winter frOcks.
One Of The prettiest models | have
seen was in Wine colored chiffon velours.
1t was made with q dropping collar Of dull
gold, red and white embroidery edged
with a heavy silken fringe. The velvet
was cut plain to the knees, then came
about seven rows Of graduated ruchings
Of travelled silk in brighter shade. This
really was a very sumptuOus frock, and
was to be worn in company with large
shaped stole ard granny muff of ermine
and a delicious 1890 velvet bonnet trim
med with shaded feathers to match.

huge fur muffs! But such garments are
only suitable for carriage wear, and are
truly the exclusive property of Ia grande
dame
Ermine is on an equality with sable
and is fetching fabulous prices. In fact,
the garments de luxe are composed of
sable lined with ermine.
Among cheaper furs there are very
smart, inexpensive boleros of beaver,
which is extremely effective. This fur
is used instead Of mOieskin.
l fear 1t is very expensive season as
far as furs are concerned Somehow.
every available skin seems to be utilized
with such amazing rapidity that it must
go up in price. 1t is even difficult to get
good moleskin this year. Thus, with
skins dearer and the furrier's work more
elaborate than ever, it is useless to ex-
rect to be able to buy the better class fur
garment at low price.
Musquash is used for some of the bo-
leros with great effect. 1t is furry kind
of skin which think is remarkably be-
coming, and 1t is so we'll dyed that one
can hardly realize that it belongs to the
inferior order of skins.
Possessors of sealskin will be glad to
know that once more it takes a foremost
place in fashions list A favorite mix
ture is sealskin and ermine.
However costly and sumptuous the bet
ter class fur garment of to-day NAV be.
manufacturers are able to produce the
most effective little short basque boleros
and loose sac coats at a comparatively
small price.
When purchasing the cheaper skins |
advise you not 10 attempt too much. For
instance. avoid imitation ermine or seal
skin If you cannot afford the real where
these skins are concerned, it is better TO
leave them alone.
Some of the smartest costumes are in
all black and black and white. especially
in the tailoring world. though brown is
much used for the country.
Some of the most beautiful hats are
made in white chenille. covered with
black feathers. These. of course. are to
be worn with ermine, and l have seen

white cloth with black panne trimmings

with the new and higher sense Of dignity
that had been given him, man would do
the rest for himself.
To emphasize this point Of improving
people from the inside, the story of a
Scotch nobleman may be told. He had a
high sense OF the duties of man in his
position. and as soon as he came into his
large estates set about providing better
housing for his people, who were living
in an abominable way, huddled together
like animals in one-roomtd cottages.
He built row of pretty. comfortable
cottages. IN a littla time each family
was living, as before. in one room and
letting the rest of the house. That is the
effect OF improving people from the out
side
