EMBROIDERED FURs.
a Large Proportion of the Seasons
Garments r Trimmed
and Fringed.

Furs are expensive this year, and
for that reason 1t would seem more than
q pity to trim them or mutilate them in
any way. Yet a great proportion of the
new furs are trimmed, says the Brook
Ign Eagle. The other day there were
seen two fur coats. One was a short,
plain little coat of seal, the most service
able little coat imaginable. 1t was not
quite three-quarters length, tight fit
ting and buttoned with big silver but
tons, a coat which one would admire any
where for it's serviceability.
But with the woman who wore the
plain little seal coat there was another
woman, and this one a blouse coat
of moleskin, that skin for which there
is such a demand this season. The
blouse was hip length, pouched in front
and belted with a belt of embroidered
gold.
|. The front was buttoned with four
large gold buttons, round as globes. 1t
was open nearly to the belt, and the
lapels were turned back to show a wealth
of embroidery. The embroidery was
in the oriental colors, brilliant blues,
yellows, reds and green's, all put together
with the recklesspess of the Parsee en-
broiderer and worked out right in the
fur. 1t made a lovely display of color,
but was recklessly e~xtravagant, for the
embroidery certainly does spoil the
fur.
1t seems nothing less than a sin for
Dame Fashion TO set the style of en-
broidery and rufied furs, yet when one
comes to examine the models closely one
may come to the conclusion that there is
economy in the method. And to prove
this take an instance of a stole of otter,
that fur which is enjoying a reEais-
sance.
The collarette which came just over
the shoulders had two long ends which
hung far down the front. The back
was composed of cores or sections, each
alternate one of fur, the other Of vel
vet. The two sections were Joined to-
gether with a little very nice Armenian
passementerie. Then came the en-
broidery which entirely covered the vel
vet sections and was delicately traced
upon the fur. The stole ends consist
ed of bands of fur and velvet put to-
gether alternately and fully embrold-
cred.
1t is easy to see how such a patchwork
design might be carried out with the aid
of a little old fur and a little new vel
vet, and how the result would be ele-
gantly complete, as good, in fact, as
though all new material had been en-
ployed.
Tails are very fashionable this year,
and they are worn in all sorts of ways.
Whole muffs are made of them, one tail
next the other like a fringe, and those
who can afford the luxury can make a
very fashionable stole all of tails, with
silk fringe underlying each row of tails.
And, speaking of fringes, their uses
are manifold and particularly are the
white fringes used. White silk fringe,
" a few inches Of it, is valuable, for
1t can be used so very effectively Upon
the winter clothing. Coats can be
trimmed with it, cuffs can have an edge
of it, muffs are beautifully decorated
with 1t, and winter bodices receive their
finishing touch with a finger or so of
handsome fringe

COMMENT.

Perhaps the Jersey iurymen who
acquitted the Japanese sailor of the
charge of murder had no thought of
the situation in the Far East, but in
case of hostiiltios this ~Statoywill be
in position to prove that it has shown
no disposition to deprive the Mlkado
of any able bodied fighters. If the
liberated Jap shows an inclination to
to return to his native land, he will
find q number of people here who will
be glad If he will devote his energies
in future to disposing of Russians. =

THE BANE OF BAsHFULNEss.
How the Shy Young Girl May Over
come the Miseries of Self
Consciousness,

The shy little girl who buries her face
in her mothers skirts on the approach of
a stranger makes a charming and pic
turesque figure; that same child, be-
come a young woman and suffering the
agonies of dif1dence as a Whatsoever at
a party, Is an object OF pity, says Youths
Companion.
No woman can be unsympathetic with
the sufferer if she has herself once en-
dured the miseries of self-conscious
shyness; the fear of social blunder; the
sense of physical awkwardness; the
envy, detested, yet cherished, Of the
more easy and graceful friend; the BIT
ter apprehension that no one will ever
have the desire to break through the bar
rier of apparent GOODNESS and discover
the real woman.
Yet this shyness has its root in a
quality of character both noble and
serviceable-in that admiration of the
admirable which reaches to fear. The
Germans have two words for fear
Furcht, which represents the fear of the
coward, and Ehrfurcht, which repre-
sents the fear of the man already wise,
as he stands before his superior in wis
dom-honor-fear.
1t may seem idle to try to overcome
girlish diffidence by an ethical argu-
ment; but If once the timid girl can
bring herself to regard the terrifying
social group as simply her lessons and
examples, she may gradually find her
fear melting into admiration, and SO
into a wholesome imitation.
Social grace is largely the ~self-forget-
ting ability to put oneself in another's
place. All the easy give-and-take
which is the chief charm of the husk-
ing in the country or the afternoon tea
in the city, is the result. not Of genius
for conversation, but of practice in the
art of entertaining. That art is ac-
quired with far less toll than skill in
playing the piano or in embroidery or
in cookery.

Olive oil should always be treated
carefully to insure its continuing OF
good quality. Never allow the oil. to
remain exposed to a glaring light; a
dark closet or cool cellar is the best
place, and the bottle should be care
fully corked. 1t is also well. when the
cork is first drawn. to wipe the mouth
of the bottle carefully, and then use a
fresh cork, discarding the old one
pierced by the corkscrew. When care
lessly treated even the best oil de-
teriorates rapidly, and dissatisfaction
results.-Rural New Yorker.

Unexpected Conclusion of "a Tale
Which Promised Something
More Startling.

A mar about town was relating a
very remarkable story in a downtown
restaurant recently which riteted the
attention of several companions at the
table, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Boiled down, it was to the effect that
his aunt had given him a valuable
turquoise ring, which he lost from his
in the Harlem river. He located in
Pittsburg shortly after this and a few
days ago was presented with a mess
of black bass which q railroad friend
running between this city and Cleve-
land brought down from the lakes. The
gentleman was supervising the clean
ing of the fish and was fairly ~stupefied
when on opening of them the long
lost ring was revealed. The narrative
called forth expressions Of great sur
pSise, but the gentleman produced a
ring answering the description of the
he had lost, and. being a man
whose integrity has never been ques-
toned. the story had to stand.
THAT reminds me-" said another
member of the company, "of an aston

greatest loyalty ana ueNOtl0n TO tHe
emperor, the mikado, and on the occa-
sion of the late review he was loudly
cheered by all arms of his troops"
A Berlin dispatch says it has been
learned on the highest authority that it
has been decided in the event of war
between Russia and Japan that Ger
many will maintain a strict neutrality
and that other members of the drei-
bund will observe d similar attitude.
The Importance of this decision can
not be easily overestimated. 1t will in
q measure insure that hostilities will be
confined to the two powers concerned,
and Il will be certain to give Il great
stimulus to the efforts which France
and Great Britain are making in st.
Petersburg and Tokyo respectively in
favor of peace.
A ST. Petersburg dispatch says the
mass Of Russian troops in the far east
are being concentrated at Vladivostok
Oh on tire noftisera frontier of Korea.
A military authority has estimated
that between 100000 and 100000 SOL
diers are in the vicinity of Vladivostok.
He surmises that the Russians will oc-
cupy northern Korea, but does not ex-
pect a collision for a month or more
when taking into consideration dis
tancos and the difficulties of marching.
The st. Petersburg press urges the
necessity of opposing Il pan-European
alliance to a pan-Asiatic alliance of the
yellow race against the white race,
which is at the point of ripening under
a japanese hegemony.
A telegram from Port Arthur says
that the United States and Japan are
urging the immediate ratification of
their respective treaties with China. In
view of the probability that Russia will
not consent to the opening of certain
ports in Manchuria the Chinese foreign
office is placed in a difficult position.
A cablcgram from Rome says that
the Russian warships sighted between
Genoa and Spezzia are believed to be
spying on and following the japanese
cruisers Niasin and Kasaga, which
have just left for the far east.
Some unknown persons attempted to
set the Niasin OH fire by tampering
with the electrical appliances before the
ships sailed. ' The police authorities
have begun an inquiry into the matter.
Dispatches from Manchuria are to
the effect that there is great military
activity there. The railroads are bring
ing troops from Russia. and the women
and children at Port Arthur and New
chwang are preparing to leave. The
Russian general at Newchwang has
been called to Port Arthur for service.
Every steamer for Japan is carrying
the japanese from north China who
belong to the reserves.
The Japanese censorship of military
news gives opportunity for all kinds of
rumors here, one of which is that Japa-
nose troops have been landed at Fusan,
Korea.
Referring to the interest of the Unit
cd States in the situation, the Novoe
Vremya of st. Petersburg says:
Undoubtedly the United States,
above all other powers, can confident
ly expect that its trade will not suffer
by Russian possession Of Manchuria,
and it would be tactless on Americas
part to demand now what she could
gain peacefully when everything quiets
down"

evening that he will not soon forget.

stranger. who has been identified as
Everett Van Auken. who recently es-
capped from the Michigan City pris-
on, entered the room. Van Auken
calmly asked Mr.. Smith to give him
some change and after this transac-
ton had been completed the desper-
ado coolly related his experiences
since he and his comrade had made
their escape. While the little tate
tete was going on, Van Auken's pal,
Will Lyons kept guard on the out
side Of the building. On their de-
parture the police We're notified and

Of any ache or ailment of any sort.
The truth is you really haven't any
thing to complain of. 1t is just a
habit, a very bad habit of always
saying there is something the mat
ter.
Watch yourself and if you find
you have this habit, commence at
once to break it. Say you are feel
ing well, just fine, and then draw
in three or four long, deep breaths
and say it again. If there is any lit
tie pain Or ache lurking around it
will flee away in the face Of your
persistently denying it existence, and
you will find yourself truly and
wholly free from any ailments what
ever.
Get into the habit of saying you
are we'll and see if it is not a pleas
anter and wholesomer habit than the
habit of complaining about every
little indisposition or temporary bad
feeling.
