so that. while the throat is protected,
the fur also hangs down gracefully on
each side of the wrap. A boa to be
worn in this way must be long, and
only the unlined boas will serve, as in
the long-hafred skins a double thick
ness of fur would be too cumbersome.
BOas with head and tails of the animal
are not as much to be seen as formerly,
but this year again there are a number
of neck pieces fashioned in this way to
be seen.
The prettiest white nuns are large
and have the head and one or more
tails of the fox as ornament. Muffs
this year as some inches wider and
with the three-quarter and elbow
length sleeve there must be some pro-
lection provided for the arms. In cara
cul and all short haired animals the
long-curved muff designed especially
for the short sleeve gowns are a de-
cided novelty, and hence smart. Fan
shaped muffS are also in evidence this
year, and the old round shape is rarely
seen.
With white or Iight-colored gown
white fur is exquisite. 1t is now being
most effectively combined, a caracul
coat with deniably attractive, and cara
cul is now frequently trimmed with err
mine, although this does not make so
happy a combination as the lynx or
fox. Long evening wraps of white car
acul, softened by the lynx fur at throat
and wrist, are charmingly pretty, and
for a, debutante especially Is this style
of cloak attractive. For an opera cape,

lero being most in evidence-to be

tune is exceptionally pretty.

handsome fur always shows up to ex-
cellent advantage. Tan is one Of the
few shades with which fur should not
be worn. The colors are too hard to
be pretty Red and white are rather
conspicuous but such very noticeable
costumes are now considered in good
form, even for street wear, that ne real
objection can be raised. Then, too, re-
ception gowns are now so very deli
cate in shade that the palest eo1orings

Unquestionably white furs are more
fashionable today than at any time
since they first made their appearance.
Not only is white lynx a faYorite for
children and for the all important
debutante, but older women as we'll
now find this soft, long-haired skin
most becoming. For fur sets-muffs
and stole-both lynx and white fox are
popular for short jackets with, of
course, muff to match. White earacul
is newest, while ermine is used to trim
many reception gowns, and is also the
fur most seen on evening Wraps-if,

Capri, beautiful in itself as a. winter
resort, offers an irresistible Invitation
to artists, since it has an inn where
anyone, by painting a picture on the
wall, can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri. with its
perennial summer, its blue grotto, and its
lemon groves, came, some fifty years
ago, a ruined artist. He opened an inn,
and died rich. In his viii, leaving the
inn to his heirs, he made these con-
ditions:
''The charge per day. two bottles Of
red Capei wine included, Is never to be
more than six francs
IF any artist is too poor to pay, he
shall paint a picture upon some wall
space. receiving all the accommoda tions
accorded to those paying the highest
price.
s'If any German artist shall come to
the inn, he shall be acconrno odated and
shall receive the amount of his fare to
Germany upon his promise never to re-
turn to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then German gets
his fare -home.-Minneapolis Journal.

Farmed-out HighwaYs.

The railroad, by all the laws of the ma
tions, is quite as much a highway as is a
wagon road. But instead Of levying d.
rect taxes for keeping up the rail high
ways (as do the people of Prussia, Aus
tria, Switzerland ana other countries) We
Americans farm OUT the power of tax
alton to private individuals organized as
a railroad corporation. The old kings
farmed out the power of ordinary taxa
ton to their favorite barons in the same
way The instrument that conveys this
power upon a railroad company is a
charter It gives the railroad company
the right to operate the ratl-highweys
and to charge a freight rate Ga tax for
doing it. Railroad presidents and direc-
tors are thus by appointment made the
Rx-collecting representatives of the peo-
pie. For railroads are not now and new
er were private property, like a farm or
a grocery store. They are highways
The first essential of a tax is that it
shall be just. To establish that point the
Anglo Saxon people have shed rivers OF
blood; our English ancestors revolted
against the old baH6ns who taxed both
uneQually and extoftI6nately. Our Amer
lean progenitess tossed the British tea
into Boston harBor and fought from Lex
ington to Yorktown to establish the prin-
ciple Of fair taxation.-FrOul Railroad

For Brunettes.
The creamy brunette belongs closely
to this type, and besides wearing those
colors belonging to her fairer sisters
may add poppy red, crimson, the paler
shades of Indian red and the paler
shades of orange. The salloW brunette
is only the slightest bit less difficult to
dress than the salloW blonde, and so
should exercise the greatest care when
choosing her colors. Not that she has
such a wide choice, for reds, Indian

very strong golden and reddish browns
compose her range largely. Deep navy
