NEW FURS ARE ELABORATE.
Lace, Braiding and Fancy Buttons
Used Literally in Ornamental
ton of the Garments

Although it makes a woman gasp to
think of furs at this time of year, yet
fashionable women are ordering their
winter wraps already, because anything
in fur can be gotten so much more
cheaply now than later.
The st. Louis Republic says that al
though the seasons stock may not yet
be all made up in the fashionable houses,
many sample garments, and plush and
cloth models are at hand from which to
see the styles and to order.
Furs this season are to be much orna-
mented. Lace. passementerie, braiding
and fancy gilt or cut steel buttons will
be used on these garments in great pro-
fusion. Vests of suede or cloth and ap-
pliques of these materials set on with
fancy braiding ornament many.
The vests appear in nearly all of the
short jackets and boleros. Handsome
metal belts will also be worn as a finish
to many fur coats.
Sleeves are very much larger than last
season and show many variations. In
the most fashionable cuts the fullness
lies from the elbow up, rather than be-
low. An exact opposite to this effect ap-
pears in sleeve that hangs full, but in
almost straight line at the outer fold,
from shoulder to elbow. The sleeve is
so cut that from this point in to the
forearm is another straight horizontal
line. These two lines of the fullness meet
at the elbow at right angles, so that
the effect of this sleeve IS a square fall
of fullness at the elbow.
The onedleg-of-mutton sleeve
has place this season along with the
bell sleeve, whose fullness is left loose
and that which is caught up, as well as
other forms of large sleeves.
OF all the fur garments seen this win
ter few will be more popular than the
boleros and little jackets that just cover
the hips.

smile she went down to give her part to
Josephine, whose rejoicing no polite re-
grets could conceal, and to pack into the
trunk her pretty gowns, which might

A CHICAGO GIRLS SECRET.
She Says That Swiss Worn Over
White Wash Silk has the Eff
feet of Organdy.

Where did you get that exquisite or
candle waist?" asked a girl the other
day of friend who wore a dainty crea-
don that buttoned up the back with tiny
lace buttons.
"I'll let you into the secret" said the
friend. 1T is not particularly fine
organdy or swiss, rather, for it is swiss,
which washes better than the organdy
but it looks so, because l wear it over
the thinnest kind of a white wash silk
blouse, which is made plainly, but along
the same lines. This gives the swiss a
cloudy, filmy and kind of billowy eff
feet, that makes it look like chiffon.
1t throws up each little thread of the
lace trimming, so that it appears like
something costly instead Of the ordinary
wash valenciennes, whith it is. And it
gives a soft effect to theskin.
"The lining, too, saves the swiss, so
that by washing it out in the wash bowl
and pressing it when nearly dry the
waist itself can be worn two or three
times without doing up. Besides all this,
instead of having TO lay the whole thing
away this fall, intend to wear il with
the lining all winter Try it yourself"
added the girl, generously, "but be sure
and get the softest and lightest silk pos
sible, as more expensive quality will
not mix so artistically with the waist
fabric and look so much like part of il. :"

DESIGNS FOR SILK QUILTS.
Our Grandmothers and Mothers Took
Delight in Doing This Use
full Fancy Work.

In order to make an effective Quilt
the silk pieces must be carefully as
sorted. placing the very dark and tho
very light in separate piles. The me-
dunn shades can be used as light only
when combined with black or the dark
green's, browns or blues. II there is a.
scarcity of these dark shades, it is
frequently advisable to dye Part of the
very light or slightly soiled scraps. It
is easily done and gives more uniform
ity to the quilt, removing it farther
from the crazy-work effect
Fig. 1 is a simple hexagon, yet 1t
makes a most beautiful quilt and uses
the small pieces. Exactness in cutting
is very necessary. II the rows of

be reversed with satisfactory results.
The old-fashioned log-cabin pattern
is especially good for utilizing rib

A very handsome log-cabin quilt was
made from two worn silk dresses, one
ivory, the other a faded blue. The
latter was dyed a golden brown and
having been made quite long and full
with deep flounce, furnished suffi-
cient material, after the blocks were
finished, for border of medium

TALK ABOUT RIBBON WORK.
1t Produces the Most Effective and
Most Rapid Results in EN-
broidery Known.

Ribbon work is supposed to be Diff
cult and tedious. The reason for this
is that it was introduced by the shops
that supply deliberately designed
pieces of embroidery to their patrons.

and with tiny gros grain ribbon in
pale tnts manufactured for the pur-
pose. The patterns were of the Louis
XIV. and Louis XVI. type, and the eff

crate stitching was cerainly extremely
beautiful and well worth the long and
tedious work which it necessitated.

of workers, who wish quick results

RACE SUICIDE IN FRANCE.
Over $4,000 Fewer Births There in
1908 Than Year Before-Death
Rate Has Also Decreased.

The race suicide theory which has agi-
tated America finds conspicuous sup
port in French statistics. Official fig
ures just published for 1903 show the
total births were S26,7l2, and deaths
753,606, an excess of birth of 70 JOG. The
excess in 1902 was 1894.
The population of France in 1902 was
3S,961 ,945. The population in 1903 was
39.119,095. In 1903 there were 1866
fewer births than in 1902, and the num-
Der of deaths was less by 1928 than
in 1902.
1t is pointed out in the report that
the increase in population is not due to
any increase in the general birth rate.
but solely to the steadily declining death
rate. The tables go on showing that
while the excess OF births over deaths
in 1901-'02 was p per 10000 inhabitants
the ratio for the same period in Ger
many was 153, and in Great Britain 1l9.
