plotting pad, beside sheet of paper.
But the pen was wet, and there were
fresh words added to those he had
himself written before he fell asleep.
The sheet of paper was the one
upon which he had written those
vague and disconnected phrases,
which had caused him so much per-
plexity and improbable speculation.
They had been written irregularly,
Just In the same order that they had
occupied on the mutllated sheet, with
blank spaces between each broken
sentence. Now each blank space had
been filled In, and It was with per-

The Seasons Furs..

There is delightful variety in fur
garments this year, for there is as large
a choice in the shape of a fur coat as
there is in a cloth or velvet one. There
are the fitted habit coats in the smooth,
thinnish fqrs,, and the long, loose gar
ments in the heavier furs.
In neckpieces there is the same
infinite variety, ranging from the little
fourth hand ties to big stoles envelop-
ing the shoulders; but there is tend
ency in stoles toward something of the
pelerine or fchu style. A good many of
slightly draped about the shoulders, and
meet on the bust under a fancy fasten,
ing. The ends may be long or short,
to suit the taste, and, it is unnecessary
to say, the purse, but the loveliest of
these wraps in sable have the ends fall
ing we'll below the knees. The ends are
generally finished with tails, and there
where the stole fastens. The muf that
most appropriately accompanies this
style of garment is large and round,
what may be called the early Victorian
shape, and may have trimming Of
tails.
The idea last year was that ermine
with the little black tails had gone out
every whim Of fashion, and that pure pure
white ermine was alone strictly la
mode; but the spotted ermine seems to
be in favor again. One also sees q
good many furs combined with oriental
