EancIfuI Ideas In Muffa.

While fat muffs are more fashion
able than the round variety the differ.
ence Is not owing altogether to pref
erence for The fiat, as the short-haired
furs are Taade up in the first form
while the long haired are made into
large round muffs.
Many Of the fiat muffs assume a
rounded outline or even a tendency
TO point at the lower part while the
tops are narrower and are often
curved or indented.
Many Of the seasons muffs and neck
pieces are designed for special cos
tunes and not for general wear. In
muffs fancy runs riot; on some of the
fanclfui ones to go with certain cos
tunes. Not only is lace used, but pas
sementeries, bands of embroidery, and
contrasting furs are used to make
them more elaborate, II less beautiful
and artistic. than though the fur Itself
were all.
Furs are even dyed to match gown
materials. and browns and grays in
many different shades are shown.

Memorial to a Rnhh.r

In the little town of Forlimpopoli,
near Bologna, memorial tablet is
about to be unveiled in the Municipal
theater to the memory of a famous
robber chieftain named Passatore
The reason why the theater is chosen
Tor the home of his memorial is tina;
IN 1t was performed his most famous
exploit. In September, 1854. while
one OF Rossini's operas was being
performed in the presence of all the
local beauty and fashion, Passatore
and his band held up" the audience
and robbed them of all their valuables
to the last penny.

Newest style Of Lighthouse.

The Ram island ledge (Maine) light
house, now practically finished, will,
it is claimed, be the best in the world
of its class. The appropriation was
$166,000.
The tower is of hewn stone, and
the exterior is nearly as smooth as
marble. 1t is lined with white enamel
tiling, and the interior is finished in
quartered oak of the finest quality.
The glass is diamond shaped. The
lantern is of bronze, cost $4,000, and
the salt air will have no effect upon
it. The $1,000 lens for the lamp was
made in Paris.

Qpera Glass BAGS.

but can be made in colors, lining and
lace to match. A plain square bag is

of milady's trinkets is similarly made
and set here and there on the outside
with silver paillettes. So are other of
che opera glass bags, which are drawn
up at the mouth over two ball-fnished
bars of silver or gold. These bags are
rounded at the lower corners, finished
at the sides with dainty ribbon ros-
CITES. and the ribbon handles are
knotted. There may be palette span
giles or not, and of silver or gold.

One of the latest ideas for the use
Of the already heavily burdened lace
collar is to make 1t, like charity, cover

gee gown. For strict lounging pur-
poses no one cares for a mass of frills
and embroidertes and lace streamers,
but often one wishes to see an inti-
mate friend without taking the trouble
90 change from a plain little negligee
TO one more elaborate. In such case
be provided with large, cape-shape
SAGE collar. ready TO be slipped quickly
Un, and the transformation is com
piete.
A beautiful little house gown may
be fashioned from figured taffeta, with
pale green ground, literally be-
sprinkled with small, set garlands or
pink rosebuds, just such a silk as
ones grandmother may have worn.
The bodice is made with a neck cut
modestly round and with rather tight
Iy fitting backs and fronts. At the waist
the bodice is sharply pointed before
and behind. and is piped In every CON
ceivable seam with pale green velvet.
The skirt is very full and very long,
and about twelve inches above the
hem has quaint arrangement of vel
yet bows and ruchings that might well
have been copied from some old por-
trait or daguerreotype. The sleeves
furnish the finishing touch to the
quaint effect, buttoning along the outer
seam from the elbow down over green
velvet buttons.

to use up odds and ends of old and
new lace, especially in floral design,
is to cut the leaves from the net foun-
dation and apply on a cotton, wool
or silk gown. Work over the design,
covering the figures well. with en-
broidered silk or mercerized cotton.
The result is excellent. The en-
broidery stands out and the lace pat
tern answers the same purpose as a
stamped design and in most cases is
more attractive than the conventional
patterns found in the shops.
