Compared with the fulsome splen-

trimming effects can only be describ-

with a rare charm.
At the beginning of the autumn,
when half a dozen fine garnitures
were considered necessary for one

thought rather plain. The world look

French frocks turned the other way,
toward simplicity. till now the fas-
tidious are inclined to believe that self

gance. Further. they provide oppor-
tunity for dressiness at comparatively
small expense, which is certainly an
important point in their favor.

PIN MONEY
AND HOW TO EARN IT

Just before Christmas, more than at
any season of the year, a girl yearns
Tor pin money. Several years ago a.
bright young woman in large East
ern city started out to earn some pin
money for Christmas gifts and ended
in establishing trade, which lasts the
year around, but is especially heavy
during the month of December.
She had dropped in to call on
friend who was busy shipping Christ
mas membranes to the four cor
ners of the continent. The young
girl, lacking both relatives and the
price wherewith to buy many gifts,
was willing to lend a helping hand,
and when her disturbed friend could
not decide whether to send a certain
package by express or MAIL. she vol
unteered to look the matter up at the
nearest express office and branch post
office. She found that the woman of
means could save exactly As cents, by
sending the parcel through the regis
tered mail. Incidentally she brought
home some schedules of mailing and
express rates.
She helped to tie up the packages,

the maker of many gifts may not have
time to secure
For instance, among her patrons is
woman who is greatly interested in
the working girls movement, and she
sends out some fifty gifts to working
girls alone, the wrapping and direct
ing of which she entrusts to the holi-
day wrapper and shopper.
Naturally this girl wants to start
upon wrapping as early as she can,
and where her patron has a long list
of gift she divides them into three or
four shipments, starting with those
which go abroad and following with
presents intended for the Pacific coast.
She knows just the length of time re-
CURED for a parcel to be carried during
the Christmas rush. She has mail and
express rates at her finger tips. She
knows her to do up parcels so that
they will carry with safety to them
selves and satisfaction to the men who
handle them en- route. Strings never
burst nor boxes bulge when this young
woman attends to the shipping. If most
of the packages are to DO by rail or
express, she calls for them with a han
som, and carries them in person to the
postoffice and the express office, and

to set off the foot of dress, revers,
cuffs, belts and peplums. A large fiat
muff and cravat to match will make
a stunning gift.
The new imitation sealskin is a tri-
umph of the furrier's art; it COM
mands almost as high price as the
real sealskin, largely because of it's
remarkably lustrous color.
Stables are for the very rich only,
and imitation sable is the least plau-
sible of near-furs and should be care
